Betrayal are the worst pain of all... because not only it broke our hearts... it also broke our trusts. It will be hard for us to trust someone again after getting hurt from betrayal. That's me... but now I have them. They taught me how to trust again... and now one of them experienced it.

-He's An Animagus!!-

Y/N P.O.V

When I meet the trio today, I notice something is off with them. Well to be more specific... with Ron and Hermione. I don't know what happened, because I spent the night before at the Slytherin house.

"What happened to them?" I asked Harry. He turns to look at me. "Ron is angry at Hermione because he claims that Hermione's cat killed Scabbers" he said. I raise an eyebrow at him.

"But he's not! He won't hurt anyone" Hermione said, as she stands next to me. "Then explain why my rat isn't around!" Ron argued. Hermione just glares at him.

"Hermione, Ron! Come on! Both of you, knock it off! Please stop arguing! If you don't have evident Ron, you can't go around accusing Hermione or her cat! For all we know, Scabbers probably are just running around Hogwarts... he's tiny you know... he could go through any gap easily" I said. Hermione nods her head in agreement at my words, while Ron just rolls his eyes.

"Thank you, Y/N..." Hermione said. I just smile at her. "No need to thank me... I just do what I had to do..." I said, shrugging my shoulders. "Yeah... siding her!" Ron said, sounding annoyed.

"Oh dear Merlin... I'm just trying to be realistic here, okay?? Until or unless we know the truth... we can't go around accusing people. They said accusation are worst than murder" I said, glaring angrily at him. He just scoffed at what I said. "Whatever" he said. I just huffed in annoyance.

Time-skip

The rest of the day passed by like a breeze. Nothing special really happen in class. I just take notes as I listen to the Professor's explanations. It's kind of boring. I've learned what I need to know in my two previous schools.

After the class ended, I pack my stuff and leave with the trio. Draco asked me to hang out with him. But I told him I can't... not while Hermione and Ron is on not talking term. He asked me what happened with the two. I just told him it was a misunderstanding.

It was also because I can't leave Harry to deal with the two alone. Being placed in the center while the others are fighting isn't a pleasant experience. So I just can't leave Harry to deal with it by himself.

I can tell that it annoyed Draco because I choose to hang with the trio. But he didn't say anything against it. It kinda make me surprise that he can actually be nice with them.

We are walking towards Hagrid's hut. We've heard that Buckbeak's fate have been decided and he's going to be executed. This makes me so angry at Draco. I can't believe told his father about this. He's the one that taunted Buckbeak! But oh well... that's just him.

We walk past the person that will execute the poor Hippogriff. I just frown as I feel sad, watching the man sharpening his scythe. We speed walk because we don't want to see him again.

"It just got worst..." I hear Ron said. I turn my head to see Draco and his two goons watching. This makes anger build up in me even more. But before I could do anything, Hermione march over to him.

"Look who's here!" One of his goon said. Draco turn his head to look at us. "Ahh~ come to see the show?" He said. Hermione speed walks towards him.

"YOU... you foul, loathsome, evil little cockroach!!" She said, taking out her wand and points it at Draco. The boy backed up into the stone behind him. He let out a whimper.

"Hermione, no! He's not worth it!!" Ron said. I walk towards her and lower her hand. We turn around and he laughs. This makes me clench my hands into a tight fist. I turn and punch Draco right on his nose.

He groan in pain, but I just look at him with with a death glare. "I thought you can be a nice person. But I was so wrong about you. Don't you EVER... show your face in front of me again!" I spat. He took off running away, but I can see tears streaming down his cheeks. I let out a sigh and turn to the trio. They look at me with an impressed look.

"I kinda feel bad..." I said. "Don't be... he deserve that... if you didn't go for it. I would've" Hermione said, placing a hand on my shoulder. "Let's go..." Harry said, grabbing my hand gently. Then we start walking towards Hagrid's hut again.

We knock on his hut. He opens the door and I can see his bloodshot eyes. Hagrid take one look at us, and burst into tears. "Oh Hagrid... I'm so sorry to about Buckbeak. He's such a good Hippogriff" I said, giving him a hug. He gently pat my head, while still crying.

"Can't we just set him free?" I said. "No... they will know it's me... Dumbledore will come because he wants to be there for me. You guys should go, they will be here soon. Oh... before you go..." Hagrid said, he grabs something from a pot. "Scabbers!" Ron said, happily as he take the rat from Hagrid's hands.

"I think you owe someone an apology" Hermione said. "Oh I'll apologize to him next time I see him" Ron said. "I meant me!" She said. They continue to argue back and forth, while I just sigh and their constant bickering. These two literally act like an old married couple.

"Ow!!" Someone said. I turn my head to see Harry holding his head. "What is it?" I said, walking up to him. "Someone throws something at me" he said. I walk towards it to see a snail like stone. I walk to the window and look out. My eyes widened to see there's Professors coming towards us.

"We have to go... now!" I said. We head to the back door and walk out, making sure the professors didn't see us. Then we run away from there.

After we're far from them. I can hear the sound of something being cut, knowing it's Buckbeak. I burst into tears and pulls Harry into a hug. He wraps his arms around me, hugging me softly.

"Ow! He bit me!" Ron said. Then Scabbers jumps out of his hands and runs away. "Scabbers! Come back!!" He yelled and starts chasing after it. We run after him.

He lunges himself forward and catch the rat. But the rat kept squirming, trying to get away from him. He turns to look at us and his eyes widened. "Watch out! Behind you!!" He yelled. We turn around to see a huge black dog. My eyes widened as he jumps over us and bite Ron's leg.

"Ron!!" I yelled. "Help me!!!" He yelled as the dog starts pulling him. The other two tries to chase after him, but I stop them. They look at me in confusion.

"It's the Whopping Willow! It's dangerous. We have to think of a plan. We can't just jump through. It's a death wish" I said. The two of them nods their heads in agreement.

After a while, we finally manage to jump through. I land on Harry's back. I quickly get off him. "Sorry about that... are you okay?" I said. "It's okay... I'm okay..." he said. I help him stand up. Then I catch Hermione who come sliding down.

"Ron?" I said, as we try to look for our red-haired friend. We enter a room and see Ron sitting on the floor. "Ron!" I said, running towards him. Harry and Hermione follows in suit. I quickly kneel down next to him and check his wound. I take out a blade and cut the fabric of his pant. There's a deep cut from the bite on his leg. I gently place my hand on top of his leg.

"Definitely broken..." I said. I hear whimpering from Ron. So I turn to look at him to see him looking pale. "What's the matter?" I said, looking at him in worry. He points towards a certain direction with his shaky finger.

I turn my head to see a man with dirty clothes as he move the door. My eyes widened in realization after recognizing the man. It's Sirius Black and...

He's an Animagus!!
