Harry's POV

I woke up and saw that I was in the hospital wing.

"Good to see you're awake mate," Ron said.

"What happened to Sirius?" I asked quickly.

"Well, it wasn't your fault-"

"What happened?" I growled.

"They caught him and he's getting a dementor's kiss," Hermione said sadly, avoiding my gaze.

"Oh no," I said, looking over at Anna. How was I going to tell her?

"How am I going to tell Anna?"

"I don't know mate, but what I do know is that she's going to kill you," Ron said. As if on cue, Anna woke up.

Anna's POV

I shot up in my bed and looked around. I was in the hospital wing.

"Where's Sirius?" I asked quickly as I got out of my bed, ignoring the screaming pain in my side. Hermione finally spoke up.

"Sirius got caught, but it wasn't Harry's fault he-"

"YOU SON OF A-" Hermione covered my mouth before I could say anymore. it felt like my heart shattered. I had finally gotten a dad, and now he was taken away from me. All I asked Harry to do was make sure he didn't get caught, but I guess he can't even do that. Instead of fighting, I just plopped into the hospital bed and started sobbing.

"It wasn't his fault," Hermione said, sitting next to me and putting a hand on my shoulder while Harry watched me sadly and Ron sat there awkwardly.

"I...f...finally had a f...father," I couldn't finish because I was crying so much. 

"Anna, we're going to get him back before he gets the dementors kiss," Ron said, trying to reassure me.

"HE'S GETTING A DEMENTOR'S KISS?" I screamed. I thought he was just going back to azkaban like before, but a dementor's kiss is far worse.

"Thanks a lot Ron," Hermione said sarcastically. I tried to calm myself down, and it sort of worked. That's when the anger started boiling up inside me. I could feel my eyes burn red. Right before I was going to kill Harry, the big oak doors swung open and Dumbledore walked in.

"Hello Miss Black, it's nice to see you back," he said, smiling. Now was not the time for greetings.

"Sirius Black is innocent, we have to-" Harry tried saying but Dumbledore held up his hand, indicating that he wanted silence.

"Harry, I understand you are trying to defend your godfather but-"

"YOU'VE GOT THE WRONG MAN! HE'S INNOCENT!" I yelled, not wanting to hear one of Dumbledore's long and boring speeches, he would just be wasting time.

"Do you believe us?" Hermione asked. Dumbledore answered without hesitation.

"Yes, I do. But sadly the Minister won't believe four teenagers," he said.

"There's got to be something we can do," I said, calming myself down a bit.

"There is something, we just need more time," he said, emphasizing the last part. Was he talking about a time turner? 

"Oh," Hermione said, her eyes going wide with understanding. I looked at her questioningly, and she nodded. I didn't know she had a time turner.

"Sirius is locked in Professor Flitwick's office. If all goes well, more than one innocent life will be saved. You know the law, you musn't be seen. Three turns should do it," Dumbledore said, winking. He turned on his heel and walked out of the hospital wing.

"What is he talking about?" Harry asked, confused.

"You're going to decide who's going," Hermione said to me.

"Okay, I think that I should go because I'm Sirius' daughter. And, I can't believe I'm saying this, I think Harry should go. Sirius would want me to have him come along, and Sirius is his godfather after all.But Harry, this does not mean I'm forgiving you," I said. Hermione nodded in understanding and handed me the time turner.

"Where are we going?" Harry asked, still confused. I put the time turner around our necks and pushed the dial three times. The room started spinning around us and there were blurs moving around, probably people. When it finally stopped, we were in the empty hospital wing. I took the time turner off and stuck it in my pocket. I knew we had to get going, otherwise it would be too late.

Hey readers! Sorry about this chapter being short. I started writing the whole part where they free Sirius, but it would have been ridikikulsly long. So yeah, thats about it. Oh and by the way, I might not write author's notes at the end of each chapter because sometimes I don't have much to say. So, like always, remember to vote, comment, and keep reading!
