Chapter 15 - Rat Man

"A beautiful day." Hermione said while they walked outside.

"Gorgeous." Ron said before adding,"Unless you've been ripped to pieces."

"Wait, ripped to pieces? What did I miss?" Erica questioned.

"Ron lost his rat." Harry summed it up.

"But Ron thinks that Crookshanks killed him." Parker added.

"When did the supposed murder happened?" Erica asked, knowing how stubborn both people could be.

"Last night." Both Hermione and Ron said at the same time.

"If the animals slept at different locations, how would Crookshanks get in silently and murder Scabbers silently. Animals make noises when they die." Erica questioned, trying to solve this.

"Because her bloody cat chased Scabbers out of the common room. Crookshanks came back but Scabbers didn't." Ron explained.

"Was there evidence, such as blood left at the scene?" Erica asked.

"It was done out of the common room." Harry sighed.

"Was the cat bloody though?" Erica pushed further.

"No, Crookshanks wasn't bloody." Hermione shook her head.

"By order of the court, I say Crookshanks is innocent." Erica declared.

"Of course you'd take her side!" Ron groaned.

"If you can't give me evidence I can't say he's guilty." Erica crossed her arms,"No arguing with the judge."

"Oh god, look who's here." Parker pointed ahead of them to show Draco and his two friends.

"He hasn't been overly annoying to me recently, I think he learned his lesson with Buckbeak and the sheets." Erica stated.

"Well, I feel like you're all going to even more pissed." Parker sighed, "Draco got father to sentence Buckbeak to death."

Erica froze as stared Draco down, her eyes like daggers.

"I've already given him a slap." Parker sighed.

Hermione jumped forward and ran up to Draco, wand at the ready.

"You! You foul, loathsome, evil, little cockroach!" She pointed her wand at Dracos neck.

"He's not worth it!" Ron told Hermione.

Hermione lowered her wand and turned away before turning back around and punching him square in the face. Draco groaned and fell back against the massive rock.

"Go, I know you want to." Parker whispered to Erica.

Erica walked over and helped Draco up before kicking him in the No-no spot. Draco then fell to the ground, scowlding at the others before his friends dragged him away.

Ron slowly backed away further from his sister,"You wouldn't expect it but she's really scary."

"That felt good." Hermione smiled.

"Come on, we need to go see Hagrid." Parker sighed before they ran down the steps.

"Hagrid!" Erica called out as they approached his door.

Hagrid opened the door, the Herd could see he was upset while he let them in. They all went in and sat down but Erica was staring out of the window.

"Why can't we just set him free?" Parker asked Erica while she looked at Buckbeak through the window.

"Well, it's against the law. The ministry has declared that he must die..." Hermione told her sadly.

"He did nothing bloody wrong." Parker sighed.
