(y/n) - your name

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sirius puts the rat down and both he and Lupin casts a spell at it for him to transform while Ron was yelling at them to leave his pet alone, Hermione holding him back. Scabbers twists madly in midair when he tries to run away through a hole in the door, transforming into a very short man with thinning hair and grubby hands. Sirius and Lupin grab him from out of the hole, pushing him away as Ron just looks shocked. (y/n) was absolutely disgusted.

"Sirius... Remus. My old friends." he says, trying to make a break for it again but the other adults push him back from escaping. Pettigrew's nose twitches, his gaze finding Harry and his hands flutter nervously, revealing a missing finger. "Harry! Look at you! You look just like your father. like James. We were the best of friends, he and I-"

"-how dare you speak to Harry!" Sirius yells out, his inner godfather coming out to protect the boy and Pettigrew scurries away behind a piano. The adults have a back and forth about the betrayal against Harry's friends and the weapons Voldemort supposedly has that made Pettigrew turn them in. He asks Sirius what he would've done and the main proclaims he would lay his life down for his friends. Harry falters upon hearing those words, a warm feeling surrounding him.

The rat man was about to make a run for it again and (y/n) kicks him away with a punch from her powers, standing in the doorway to block it. "Not on my watch fugly." she hisses as he scurries away from the girl, standing up and darting to Harry. 

"James wouldn't have wanted me killed. Your dad would have spared me! He would have shown me mercy!" Harry shoves the man off him as he screeches, being pulled away by Lupin and Sirius.

"Should have realised if Voldemort didn't kill you, we would! Together!" Sirius says to Lupin but Harry stops them.

"Harry, this man-"

"-I know what he is. But we'll take him to the castle."

"Bless you, boy! Bless you-" the rat man kneels before Harry, touching his legs and the boy shoves him off.

"-get off! I said we'd take you to the castle. After that, the dementors can have you." Harry finalised, the adults grabbing the shaking Pettigrew and forcefully pulling him out of the room. The group head down to the trap door and through the tunnel, Harry and Sirius helping Ron walk with his injured leg. They climb out of the Whomping Willow first to set Ron down on a rock, (y/n) and Hermione getting out after and kneeling before the injured Weasley to check how bad the wound was.

Ron was complaining about the pain and how his leg had to be amputated as (y/n) lifted the pant sleeve. "It doesn't look that bad-"

"-that bad!? I won't be able to walk again!"

"Oh shush you big baby. I want to try something."

"What do you mean try something!?" Hermione and Harry block (y/n) as she summoned her powers, rubbing her hands together until she felt a ball of pressure grow as a glowing red orb builds between her palms. 

Ron watched warily as she stretched out the ball with her fingers, gently placing it over his wound. The red glow seeped into his skin as her fingers glowed, holding onto his leg and the golden trip watched in awe as the wound started to heal. It wasn't as big before but it was smaller, only a scratch before (y/n) stopped. She winced in pain but hid it, feeling her leg start to become sore but it was bearable.

"No bloody way! You can heal!" Ron whispers in amazement, hugging (y/n) while thanking her.

Lupin was dragging  Pettigrew out of the hole and he lunges at the kids, making (y/n) falter on her injured leg and she hisses in pain as she falls back. "Ron! Haven't I been a good friend? You won't let them give me to the dementors, will you? I was your rat!" Ron draws back in disgust at the man before he turns to Hermione and (y/n). "Sweet girls. Clever girls. Surely you won't let them-" Lupin pulled him away harshly, warning him to stay away from the girls. 

Hermione suddenly looks up at the night sky, voice rising in the air and quavering with fear. "Harry..." He turns around, seeing Hermione staring at the full moon and everyone turns to it. Pettigrew manages to take the advantage of everyone being distracted and grabs the wand from Lupin, casting the spell back on himself to transform him into a rat.

"He's loose!"

"(y/n) grab him!" Ron shrieks out but she couldn't.

"I can't see him! It's too dark! I can't find him!" she couldn't use her powers in front of the adults, looking up to see Sirius trying to help his friend from not transforming into a werewolf. 

"Remus, old friend... did you take your potion tonight!?" Lupin is a rigid silhouette, his fingers twitching and he shakes his head.

"Professor! Your potion! What does it look like!? What bottle is it in!?" (y/n) urges as she turns to him. 

"Why!?" Sirius asks.

"Just tell me!" Lupin gurgles out a few words of what the bottle looks like, (y/n) using her powers and focusing on trying to find the potion. There was a loud pop between her hands that were glowing red, multiple bottles that looked the same emerging and falling to the grassy floor. "Look for the potion!" the group rushes forward, sifting through the many bottles and Harry finds it. He throws it to Sirius who catches it to uncork it and have his friend drink it while everyone waited hopefully, on edge as Lupin transformed.

"Run! All of you! Now!" Sirius tells the kids but none of them do, transfixed, watching as bristles poke through Lupin's skin. A howl pierces the hair and Lupin throws Sirius over the cliff when he is completely transformed, the kids screaming out for Sirius. They stand warily together, their professor no longer human and now a werewolf. The group begins to edge back away from the werewolf, Hermione calling out to the professor as it slowly looks at her.

The werewolf looks between the kids, sitting on its hindlegs as it howls out loudly. "It worked..." (y/n) gasps out in relief as the werewolf simply sat there in front of the kids, as if waiting and they hear another howl in the distance before the professor runs off.

"You're an absolute genius (y/n)." Ron says.

"Yes but Professor Lupin and Sirius Black now know you have powers..." Hermione purses her lips and the Hufflepuff rubs her neck.

"I think they won't tell anyone. They know a thing or two about keeping secrets..." (y/n) hoped this would be true. "Harry, go find Sirius, he might need your help." the boy nods and was about to leave when Snape suddenly jumps out from the tunnel, grabbing the boy.

"There you are, Potter!" Harry quickly pries Snape's hands off him and he goes running. "Come back here, Potter!" Snape looks at the group of kids in front of him, sneering at them. "You all are now in serious trouble. Don't think your friend can help you either!" he hisses at them, pushing them to walk towards the school. Hermione and Ron were walking ahead, (y/n) gritting her teeth as she tried to keep up her pace but the pain in her leg kept soaring. She tried to hide the limp but Snape glares down at her foot. "What is wrong with you?"

"Nothing sir." he tsks, kneeling down and grabbing her foot harshly to life up the pant sleeve just enough to show some swelling and a bite wound. The same one that used to be on Ron. Snape sighs out in annoyance and stands back up, picking up the girl in his arms and walking to the castle.

"Don't tell them." he raises a brow at (y/n) and she looks at her friends. "Don't tell them. Just put me in the hospital wing and let them go to their dorms."

"Fine..."

~~~~~~~~

"(y/n)..." the girl groans softly as she feels someone brush her hair back, opening her eyes to see Draco sitting by her legs on the hospital bed she was laying on. He had a deep frown on his face as he rubbed her arm but she shakes it off and it makes him feel sadder.

"What are you doing here?" she mutters out, wincing as she sat up and he quickly helps her up. Draco purses his lips as he saw (y/n) holding her leg in pain, gently moving the blanket to see that it was wrapped up in gauze with splotches of blood seeping through.

"You're hurt..." he hated seeing her in pain, wishing he could do something for her. "Who hurt you?"

"Why are you here Draco?" she presses again, still mad at him with the whole Buckbeak situation and the boy sighs sadly.

"I came to check if I had a broken nose. Granger had quite the punch... and I saw you and I was worried." the Slytherin winces, remembering the impact. "I tried to call off the sentence, really but my father just won't-"

"-I know Draco. There's not much else we could've done..." (y/n) sighs out, running her hands down her face. "But the way you acted about it before the-"

"-I know, it was terrible of me but Crabbe and Goyle were there and-"

"-I know... it's just... I don't know anymore..." Draco didn't like how it sounded like she didn't want to be friends with him anymore.

"Are we still friends?" he gulps nervously but his heart eases as the Hufflepuff nods with a tired smile.

"You're always going to be an asshole but we're still friends..." somehow that word made his heart hurt a little.

"(y/n)?" the girl freezes as she hears Ron, thankful for the curtain that was covering her and she quickly makes herself and Draco invisible. 

The hospital wing doors suddenly open and Hermione rushes in, (y/n) lifting off the bed and floating around to see what was happening. The Gryffindor girl shook Harry awake, him mumbling about seeing his father but Hermione warned him that Sirius was caught and was going to be killed-scratch that, his soul was going to be sucked out. She saw Ron sitting on a hospital bed with his wounded leg also wrapped up in gauze with slight bleeding and she figured that the injury was split equally between them

(y/n) and Draco watched as the golden trio warned Dumbledore about Sirius, trying to persuade him that he was innocent. It wasn't Sirius, it was Pettigrew who was Scabbers. Dumbledore went on about time, warning Hermione about something subtly that only she understood.

"What the bloody hell was he on about?" Draco whispers.

"I have to go. I'll be back ok." (y/n) whispers to him and he shakes his head.

"(y/n) don't-" she shushes him softly, gently pushing him to hide behind the curtain before hovering in front of Hermione and Harry. 

"So what's the plan?" She appears before them, scaring the group.

"Bloody hell!? Were you here the entire time!?" Ron asks and (y/n) shrugs.

"I flew in from my common room to see if you all were ok."

"(y/n) thank god! I didn't see you last night. And yes, I have a plan." Hermione pulls out a long chained locker and wrapped it around her, Harry and (y/n) as the Hufflepuff hovered in the air with her legs up so she didn't put pressure on it. Hermione smacks Harry's hand away, turning the pendant three times.
