Chapter 39

{Name's Pov}

I sat up quickly, Hermione paced the room, my bed was across from Harry's whos was beside Ron's. "I saw my dad" Harry spoke quietly "What...?" Hermione tilted her head "He sent the Dementors away... Isaw him. Across the lake..." Harry muttered, "Harry your dad.." I began "I know he's dead" Harry looked away sadly. Hermione looked st me and Ron "Listen, Harry. They've captured Sirius. Any minute the Dementorsare going to perform the Kiss." Hermione spoke quickly "the kiss?" he questioned "It's what Dementors do to those they want to destroy. They clamp their jaws over the victim's mouth and... suck out his soul." I answered, "you mean they're going to kill Sirius?" Harry sits up quickly "No. It's worse. Much worse. You go on living. But you have no memory. No sense of self. You're just a shall. An empty shell..." Harry gasps and Dumbledore enters the room. "Headmaster! You've got to stop them! They've got the wrong man!" Hermione cried out "It's true, sir. Sirius is innocent --" Harry added, "Scabbers done it!" Ron finished "Scabbers?" Dumbledore looked confused. "Ron's rat, Only he's not really a rat. Well, he was a rat. but now he's not but he--" I began to speak "The point is... we know the truth. Please, sir, you must believe us." I cut myself off, "I do, Miss Windsor, But I'm sorry to say the word of four thirteen-year-old wizards will convince few others. A child's voice, however honest and true, is meaningless to those who have forgotten how to listen." Dumbledore explains he turns to the window and watches a shooting star plummets silently through the sky. "Ah... a shooting star. If everyone was to make a wish, now would be the time. But time, I'm afraid, is precisely our problem..." as if On cue, the midnight bell begins to chime. "Mysterious thing, time. Powerful. And, when meddled with...dangerous. Sirius Black is in the topmost cell of the Dark Tower. You know the laws, Miss Granger. You must not be seen. And you would, I feel, do well to return before this last chime. If not...well, the consequences are really too ghastly to discuss. Three turns should do it, I think. If you succeed, more than one innocent life may be spared tonight." Dumbledore hands Harry, Hermione and I each a stick of chocolate, then starts to go but stops "By the way, when in doubt, I find retracing my steps to be a wise place to begin... Good luck." He smiles and leaves the room, I glance at the chocolate cautiously. 

"What in bloody hell was all that about?" Ron asks and I shrug, Hermione beckons me over I walk over and she loops the pendant's long chain around Harry's neck as well as her own and mine. "Sorry, Ron. But seeing as you can't walk..." I and the two boys exchange strange looks.  As if a tape were being rewound, every moment that occurred in the hospital room flickering by at a dizzying speed while, outside the window, darkness gives way to dusk and the sun "un-sets," returning to its place low on the horizon.  As Hermioneunloops the necklace, Harry and I glance around in confusion "What just happened? Where's Ron?" Hermione ignored the question and looked up at the clock "7:30, where were we going at 7:30?" she looked at us "Hagrid's hut?" I reply. "come on! we cant be seen!" she grabs mine and Harry's arms and slams through the door. 

We run and run until we come to a huffing halt "Hermione! Will you please tell me what it is we're doing?!" Harry demanded and Hermione holds up a hand, silencing him, I giggle and follow the girls gaze I see myself, in my beige trench coat and Burberry skirt. I watched as I held my wand To Malfoy's throat "that's us.... this isn't normal" I mutter and Harry nods in agreement. We looked at Hermione who holds up her pendant "This is a Time-Turner.McGonagall gave it to me first term. This is how I've been getting to my lessons all year." Hermione explained and my eyes widened "You mean, we've gone back in time?" Harry gasped out "Yes. Dumbledore wanted us to return to this moment. Clearly something happened he wants us to change." a whack his heard and Malfoy hits the floor, "Draco is coming!" we hide under the bridge and seconds later Draco and his tools ran above us "Not a word of this to anyone, understood! I'll get that jumped up Mudblood And (Name) one of these days.Mark my words..." he growls out and I let out a soft snicker.  Eyes narrowed in anger, Hermione leans out, reaches up, and sends Malfoy tumbling to the ground again. Harry pulls her back, and Malfoy looks around in confusion, then dashes off with the others. Seconds later, Harry emerges, marvels at the sight of himself and Hermione, and Ron and I heading down the slope to Hagrid's hut. His eyes shift to the pumpkin patch "Buckbeat's still alive!" he exclaims and I grin "Of course! Remember whatDumbledore said. If we succeed, more than one innocent life could be spared" as Dumbldores words dawn on me. "Buckbeak? But... how will savingBuckbeak help Sirius?" Harry asks and Hermione shrugs 

"we will just have to wait and see."
