(Y/n) lay in the Hospital Wing for a while. The glass had been removed from his hand, but he had asked Madame Pomfrey to leave the scars.

He wanted them on his hand so that he would remember what he must do, so he would remember what he must not let happen.

After a while he made his way back to the common room. He couldn't tell the others what had happened, he couldn't... no he wouldn't tell anyone of what he saw in the orb.

"(Y/n)!" Hermione shouted when she saw the scars on his hand "what happened?"

(Y/n) quickly came up with a lie. "Ah well you see during my exam I saw myself breaking one of them, so to insure I passed, I may have smashed one of them."

"Anyway why do you guys look so glum huh? Who died?"

"Buckbeak's execution is tonight" Harry told him.

"Oh." (Y/n) mentally kicked himself.

The four of them headed down to his hut but ran into Malfoy and his goons.

"Come to see the show have you?" Malfoy snarled.

"Father says I can have the head-"

"You foul, loathsome evil little cockroach!" Hermione said pulling out her wand and pressing it into Malfoy's throat.

Malfoy let out a whimper. "Hermione no he's not worth it" Ron said. (Y/n) elbowed him in the ribs, surprised that it was Ron who said that.

Hermione put her wand away and made to leave, but suddenly wheeled around and punched Malfoy in the nose.

Malfoy and his goon quickly scampered away. "That felt good" Hermione said.

"That was brilliant!" (Y/n) told her.

The continued on towards Hagrid hut and knocked on the door. Hagrid opened it and they were greeted with a crossbow.

"Hagrid it's us!" Hermione squealed.

"Oh well come on in then" Hagrid said lowering his crossbow.

"Hagrid I'm all about chaos and mayhem, but I don't think shooting someone with a crossbow will help your case." (Y/n) said taking a seat at the large table.

Hagrid grunted "s'pose you're right." He put down his crossbow and started to make a pot of tea.

The sat there for a bit idly chatting and drinking tea. Hagrid got up from his seat and went to get something.

"Ah right Ron I think this is yours" Hagrid said turning around holding a rat in his arms.

"Scabbers!" Ron cried in joy, running over to Hagrid and grabbing Scabbers.

"Ron I think you owe someone an overdue apology" (Y/n) said.

"I'm sorry Hermione" Ron said.

"I'm sorry too Ron I guess didn't realize how much you cared about Scabbers."

They sat there for a bit longer and (Y/n) collected the tea cups and brought them to the large sink, but not before taking a quick look into each of them.

In Hagrid's he saw what looked like a hippogriff flying. Weirdly in all the other cups he saw the same thing. A large black dog, and a wolf like creature.

Suddenly a pot smashed. "Ow" Harry said rubbing his head.

They all turned around and saw that a group of people were heading towards Hagrid's hut.

"Go quickly now" Hagrid Said shooing them out of his cabin.

The four of them hid behind some of the pumpkins in Hagrid's garden.

They started to move back towards the castle but Hermione stopped. (Y/n) turned towards her "what's up Hermione?"

"I though I saw... no never mind" Hermione said. (Y/n) turned back to the spot where Hermione was staring and was surprised to see his own face staring back at him between the trees.

"(Y/n) come on!" Hermione called to him. He ran to catch up with them but then thought better of it, and doubled back around the side of Hagrid's hut and into the forest.

"(Y/n) where've you been?" Hermione called to him from in the forest. (Y/n) saw that she looked different. She was wearing the same clothes, however they were covered in dirt and were slightly ripped in places.

He opened his mouth to start asking questions, but then something clicked in his mind. He realized how Hermione was able to get to all of her classes and how she was able to randomly appear in classes.

Hermione was playing with time, he wasn't quite sure how, but that was the only explanation.

"I saw a unicorn in the forest and I wanted to pet it" (Y/n) lied. Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Come on! Now that we're gone we've got to rescue Buckbeak" Harry said getting up.

"Not yet" Hermione said putting her arm in front of him to stop him. "They have to see Buckbeak, or else they'll think it was Hagrid who let him go."

"Hermione that'll leave us minutes!" Harry said nervously.

"It's the only plan" (Y/n) jumped in catching on to the plan.

They wait for a bit until they saw Fudge and the executioner poked their heads out of Hagrid's back door.

"Go go" Hermione hissed to (Y/n) and Harry, and two of them ran up to Buckbeak and quickly bowed to him and waited for him to bow back.

Once he did the two of them desperately tugged on Buckbeak's chain trying to get him to move.

Buckbeak suddenly ran towards the forest, knocking (Y/n) over. He looked up and saw Hermione was holding a dead ferret to entice Buckbeak.

"See that's why you're the smart one 'Mione" (Y/n) said standing up and dusting himself off.

"Come on!" Hermione hissed at (Y/n), grabbing his shirt and pulling him into the forest.

"So now what?" (Y/n) asked them.

"Well we wait" Hermione told him.

"Do you think we should get closer?" Harry asked them.

"Closer to what?"

"To the tree (Y/n). Did you hit your head or something?" Harry asked him confused.

"Oh uh yeah of course, sorry"
