Time Turner

Jack's POV

I wake up on a hospital bed, in the hospital wing. I spot Harry in one beside me. Hermione standing in the middle of our beds. While Ron was on a bed on the other side of Harry. "I saw our parents" I murmur. I notice my red hair and turn back into a boy.

"Same" Harry says as we sit up.

"What?" Hermione asks us.

"They sent the dementors away" Harry tells her.

"They were across the lake" I add.

"Harry, Jack  they've captured Sirius. Any minute the dementors are gonna perform the Kiss" Hermione tells us. We look at her shocked.

"You mean they're going to kill him?" Harry asks her.

"No, it's much worse Harry. They are going to suck out his soul" I tell him. Just then Dumbledore enters the room.

"Headmaster, stop them" Hermione tells him.

"They've got the wrong man" I add.

"It's true, sir. Sirius is innocent" Harry states.

"It's Scabbers, who did it" Ron adds.

"Scabbers?" Dumbledore asks.

"He's my rat, sir. He's not really a rat. He was a rat. He was my brother Percy's rat.But then they gave him an owl..." Ron rambles.

"The point is, we know the truth" I tell Dumbledore.

"Please believe us" Hermione pleads.

"I do, Miss Granger. But the word of four 13-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" he tells us and looks at the giant clock. "Mysterious thing, time. Powerful... and when meddled with, dangerous. Sirius Black is in the topmost cell of the Dark Tower. You know the laws, Jack and Miss Granger. You must not be seen" he reminds us. "And you would do well, I feel, to return before this last chime. If not, the consequences are too ghastly to discuss. If you succeed tonight... more than one innocent life may be spared" he explains. "Three turns should do it, I think. Oh, and by the way. When in doubt, I find retracing my steps to be a wise place to begin. Good luck" he tells us.

I smile and get out of bed. Harry does the same as Hermione and I take out our time turners. "What the bloody hell was that all about?" Ron demands.

"Sorry Ron, you'll have to stay here as you can't walk" I state as I through the chain over Harry's neck. Hermione and I turned the hourglasses over three times. The dark ward dissolved around us as we went back in time.

"What just happened? Where's Ron?" Harry asks us confused. As Hermione and I put the time turners away.

"7:30. Where were we at 7:30?" Hermione asks me.

"Going to Hagrid's" I tell her and grab Harry's hand. "Come on Harry and we can't be seen" I tell him. We run through the deserted halls to get outside. We reach the exit and see the past us.

"That's us, this is not normal" Harry mutters. Hermione pushes him against the wall while I keep watch. She shows him her time turner.

"This is a Time-Turner, Harry. McGonagall gave us each one first term. This is how we've been getting to our lessons all year" Hermione tells him.

"Also how the twins and I pranked Snape without getting caught" I add smugly.

"You mean we've gone back in time?" Harry asks us.

"Yes, Dumbledore obliviously wanted us to return to this moment" I tell him.

"Clearly, something happened he wants us to change" Hermione adds.

"Ghost is clear" I tell them. We head down to Hagrid's hut and hide behind the giant pumpkins. "We are going to save Buckbeak so Sirius can escape on him" I say smiling at the very much alive hippogriff.

"Now?" Harry asks us.

"No. If we steal him now, those Committee people will think Hagrid set him free! We've got to wait until they've seen he's tied outside" Hermione tells him.

"That's going to give us about sixty seconds" Harry tells us.

"Then we'll have to be quick" I tell him.

"Scabbers, you're alive!" we hear Ron exclaim from inside the house. I glare at it, I want that rat dead.

"That's Pettigrew" Harry and I say.

"Jack, Harry you can't" Hermione tells us.

"I know" I say with a groan.

"He betrayed our parents. You don't expect me to sit here" Harry says looking at me.

"Yes, and you must! Harry, you're in Hagrid's hut now. If you go bursting in, you'll think you've gone mad" I explain.

"Awful things happen to wizards who meddle with time. We can't be seen" Hermione states. "Fudge is coming. And we aren't leaving? Why aren't we leaving?" she asks us. I notice a pebble and throw it through the window. Breaking the jug.

"What are you doing?" Harry demands. Hermione grabs another and throws it through the window. It hits Harry in the back of the head. "That hurt!" Harry whines.

"Sorry" Hermione says sheepishly.

"We're coming out the back door. Go!" I tell them and we go hide behind the trees instead. The past us leave once the Minister, the executioner and Dumbledore entered Hagrid's hut. Harry approaches Buckbeak and bows. He bows back and Harry unties him. He tries to get Buckbeak to follow, but Buckbeak refuses to move.

I spot the rake of dead ferrets and grab them. I approach him and Buckbeak. "Come on, Buckbeak. Come and get the nice dead ferret" I tell him. He stands and I toss him one. He eats it happily and follows us into the forest. We hid him and leave him with the dead ferrets.

"Now what?" Harry asks us.

"We save Sirius" I tell him.

"How?" he asks us.

"No idea" I say with Hermione and we head for the willow. We watched everyone go inside. Then sat waited for them to come out. While Buckbeak enjoys catching bats that fly by.

(Time skip)

The past us came out of the tunnel and the full moon appears. We watch the scene before us. Then run to the lake to see Harry and I facing Moony. Hermione howls and Harry stops her. "What are you doing?" he demands.

"Saving our leaves" I tell him and howl myself. Moony runs straight towards us.

"Great! Now he's coming for us" Harry whines.

"Yeah, didn't think about that" Hermione mutters.

"Run!" I yell and we run. But we soon get cornered by Moony. But Buckbeak appears rearing at him. Scaring him away. "Man Uncle Remus is having a rough night" I tell the others. It becomes cold and we look up. "The dementors" I mutter. We run to the lake and watch as I try to fend the dementors off alone.

"This is horrible" Hermione says.

"Don't worry. Our parents will come" Harry tells her.

"They'll conjure the Patronus'. Any minute now! Right there! You'll see" I say pointing to the spot in front of us.

"Harry, Jack listen to me. No one is coming" Hermione tells us.

"They will come" Harry says. I realize something look at Harry. He seems to of come to the same conclusion. I grab his hand and we race out into the open. We draw our wands.

"Expecto Patronum!" we yell. A doe and stag appear. It chases the dementors away saving our past lives. Once the dementors were gone. The patronus' turn and canter back toward us. They stopped on the bank. Their hooves made no mark on the soft ground as it stared at us with their large, silver eyes. Slowly, the stag bowed its antlered head.

"Prongs" Harry says looking at it.

"Mum" I say looking at the doe. I guess in some way, we were right. We did see our parents. Both patronus' vanish. We then mount Buckbeak with Hermione and head for the tower where Sirius is being held.

"You were right, Hermione. It wasn't our parents we saw earlier. It was us!" Harry yells.

"We saw ourselves conjuring the Patronus' before. We knew we could do it this time because... well, we had already done it" I state.

"Does that make sense?" Harry asks her.

"No" Hermione tells him. "I really don't like flying" she says and buries her head into his back. We reach the tower and Hermione blasts the door open. Sirius gets on Buckbeak and we fly to a courtyard.

We say out goodbyes. Harry and I hug him. Before he mounts Buckbeak and flies away. Hermione, Harry and I then race back to the hospital wing. We arrive as Dumbledore goes to lock the door. "Well?" he asks us.

"We did it" Harry tells him with a smile.

"Did what?" Dumbledore asks fawning confusion. We go in and he locks the door behind us. Ron looks at the three of us confused.

"How did you get there? I was talking to you there. And now you're there" Ron whines.

"What's he talking about Harry?" Hermione and I ask him.

"I don't know. Honestly, Ron. How can somebody be in two places at once?" Harry asks his best friend. Hermione, Harry and I all chuckle as we return to our beds.
