Hermione:Oh, my --He didn't take his potion tonight! He's not safe!
Sirius:Run-!Run. Now!

But Harry couldn't run and I couldn't leave a barely alive dad hold off a full-strength werewolf all by himself.Ron was chained to Pettigrew and Lupin. He leapt forward but Black caught him around the chest and threw him back.

Sirius:Leave it to me -- RUN!

There was a terrible snarling noise. Lupin's head was lengthening. So was his body. His shoulders were hunching. Hair was sprouting visibly on his face and hands, which were curling into clawed paws. Crookshanks's hair was on end again; he was backing away --Witnessing a transformation like this...it must hurt worse than I thought...Poor Moony doesn't deserve this...

As the werewolf reared, snapping its long jaws, Sirius disappeared from our side. He had transformed into the enormous, bearlike dog bounded forward. As the werewolf wrenched itself free of the manacle binding it, the dog seized it about the neck and pulled it backward, away from Ron and Pettigrew. They were locked, jaw to jaw, claws ripping at each other.I shot a Petrifying spell at Pettigrew,then transformed into my relatively small-sized fox Animagus and jumped into the fight,chewing aggressively on his ankles.Lupin used his huge claws to hurl Sirius to a wall,leaving him barely conscious,then started chasing me around,growling.I hoped that being canines would help communicate but alas...
I was jumped on,then pushed away,rolling onto a tree stump,then clawed on.3 big gashes were on my back and belly.Madam Pomfrey better know how to stop hemorrhages,or else...I know dad was also fatally wounded himself,but he somehow managed to get up,despite his terrible condition and padded after the wolf that was about to claw at me again.Jumped on his back and chewed on his leg,making the werewolf chase him instead.

But then, from beyond the range of vision, a yelping, a whining: a dog in pain could be heard.

I jump on my paws frantically and ran full speed after them.Come on,Moony.Don't kill your best friend NOW.
I managed to keep Moony at bay,but Sirius transformed into his human form,at the lakeshore,and I see exactly why.Dementors were roaming the place.He was crouched on all fours, his hands over his head,werewolf having run from the sight.
"Nooo," he moaned. "Nooo... please...."

I morphed back and took out my wand,trying to conjure a Pantronus as well as I could,but apart from some swirls of white mist,nothing would come out.This was obviously not enough to keep a single Dementor away from us,not to talk about several of them...
No...I can hear my mother screaming as I'm slowly sinking to my knees,too weakened to stand up or think.My conscious was run over my darkness,and the last thing I saw was a huge white stag chasing away the depressive monsters,as I fainted.

~~~~~

When I came to my senses,Harry and Hermione were trying to reason with Dumbledore about Sirius' innocence.Apparently,Snape lied about everything and thought it'd be okay to let my faTHER BE KISSED BY THE DEMENTOR?Oh hell no,I SO won't let that happen!

Pretty much,Dumbledore told us (in his own Mystic riddles) to use Hermione's Time Turner and save Sirius' life.Somehow..
Okay,time for action.

Hermione:Come here,Quick!Here --

She had thrown the chain around our necks too.

Hermione:Ready?
me:As I'll ever be.
Harry:What are we doing?

Hermione turned the hourglass over three times.The dark ward dissolved. We in the deserted entrance hall and a stream of golden sunlight was falling across the paved floor from the open front doors. 

Harry:Hermione, what --?
Hermione:In here!
Harry:What -- how -- Hermione, what happened?
me:We've gone back in time.
Hermione:Three hours back...
Harry:But --
Hermione:Shh! Listen! Someone's coming!I think -- I think it might be us!Footsteps across the hall...
me: I think it's us going down to Hagrid's!

Harry:Are you telling me,that we're here in this cupboard and we're out there too?
me:Pretty much.
Hermione:I'm sure it's us. It doesn't sound like more than three people... and we're walking slowly because we're under the Invisibility Cloak -- We've gone down the front steps....
Harry:Where did you get that hourglass thing?
Hermione:It's called a Time-Turner,and I got it from Professor McGonagall on our first day back. I've been using it all year to get to all my lessons. Professor McGonagall made me swear I wouldn't tell anyone. She had to write all sorts of letters to the Ministry of Magic so I could have one. She had to tell them that I was a model student, and that I'd never, ever use it for anything except my studies... I've been turning it back so I could do hours over again, that's how I've been doing several lessons at once, see? But...Harry, I don't understand what Dumbledore wants us to do. Why did he tell us to go back three hours? How's that going to help Sirius?
Harry:There must be something that happened around now he wants us to change...What happened? We were walking down to Hagrid's three hours ago....

me:BUCKBEAK!
Hermione:But -- how will that help Sirius?
Harry:Dumbledore said -- he just told us where the window is -- the window of Flitwick's office! Where they've got Sirius locked up! We've got to fly Buckbeak up to the window and rescue Sirius! Sirius can escape on Buckbeak -- they can escape together!
Hermione:If we manage that without being seen, it'll be a miracle!
Harry:Well, we've got to try, haven't we?Doesn't sound like anyone's there... Come on, let's go.

Harry pushed open the closet door. The entrance hall was deserted. As quietly and quickly as they could, they darted out of the closet and down the stone steps. The shadows were already lengthening, the tops of the trees in the Forbidden Forest gilded once more with gold.
We planned to go around by the greenhouses so we could be close,but not nearby Hagrid's front door.

We made our way silently through the trees, keeping to the very edge of the forest. Then, as we glimpsed the front of Hagrid's house, we heard a knock upon his door. We moved quickly behind a wide oak trunk and peered out from either side. Hagrid had appeared in his doorway, shaking and white, looking around to see who had knocked.Then,our own voices could be heard.Well,theirs.I went there a bit later...
Creeping through the trees until we saw the nervous Hippogriff, tethered to the fence around Hagrid's pumpkin patch.Poor Beaky...

Harry:Now?
Hermione: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!
Harry:That's going to give us about sixty seconds...
Hermione:That's Hagrid breaking the milk jug.I'm going to find Scabbers in a moment --
Harry:Hermione,what if we -- we just run in there and grab Pettigrew --

me:No way!Don't you understand? We're breaking one of the most important wizarding laws! Nobody's supposed to change time, nobody! You heard Dumbledore, if we're seen --
Harry:We'd only be seen by ourselves and Hagrid!
Hermione:Harry, what do you think you'd do if you saw yourself bursting into Hagrid's house?
Harry:I'd -- I'd think I'd gone mad...or I'd think there was some Dark Magic going on --
Hermione:Exactly! You wouldn't understand, you might even attack yourself! Don't you see? Professor McGonagall told me what awful things have happened when wizards have meddled with time... Loads of them ended up killing their past or future selves by mistake!"
Harry:Okay!It was just an idea, I just thought --

But Hermione nudged him and pointed toward the castle. Dumbledore, Fudge, the old Committee member, and Macnair the executioner were coming down the steps.

Hermione:We're about to come out!

And sure enough, moments later, Hagrid's back door opened and our past-selves walked out.As our past-selves wanted to remain with Hagrid, a knock was heard on Hagrid's front door. The execution party had arrived. Hagrid turned, around and headed back into his cabin, leaving the back door ajar. 

Macnair:Where is the beast?
Hagri:Out -- outside.
Fudge:We -- er -- have to read you the official notice of execution, Hagrid. I'll make it quick. And then you and Macnair need to sign it. Macnair, You're supposed to listen too, that's procedure --

Macnair's face vanished from the window. It was now or never.

me:Wait here.I'll do it.

As Fudge's voice started again, Harry darted out from behind his tree, vaulted the fence into the pumpkin patch, and approached Buckbeak.

Fudge:It is the decision of the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures that the Hippogriff Buckbeak, hereafter called the condemned, shall he executed on the sixth of June at sundown --

Careful not to blink,I stared up into Buckbeak's fierce orange eyes once more and bowed. Buckbeak sank to his scaly knees and then stood up again.I began to fumble with the knot of rope tying Buckbeak to the fence.

Fudge:... sentenced to execution by beheading, to be carried out by the Committee's appointed executioner, Walden Macnair...
-
me:Come on, Buckbeak...come on, we're going to help you. Quietly... quietly...
-
Fudge:... as witnessed below. Hagrid, you sign here...

I threw all my weight onto the rope, but Buckbeak had dug in his front feet.Dammit,stubborn suicial lazy hippogriff...

Macnair:Well, let's get this over with.Hagrid, perhaps it will be better if you stay inside --
Hagrid:No, I -- I wan' ter be with him.... I don' wan' him ter be alone --

Footsteps echoed from within the cabin.

me:Buckbeak, move!

I tugged harder on the rope around Buckbeak's neck. The Hippogriff began to walk, rustling its wings irritably. They were still ten feet away from the forest, in plain view of Hagrid's back door. "One moment, please, Macnair," came Dumbledore's voice. "You need to sign too." The footsteps stopped. Harry heaved on the rope. Buckbeak snapped his beak and walked a little faster.

Hermione:Raven, hurry!

We could still hear Dumbledore's voice talking from within the cabin. He gave the rope another wrench. Buckbeak broke into a grudging trot.We reached the trees....

Hermione:Quick! Quick!

They darted out from behind her tree, seizing the rope too and adding their weight to make Buckbeak move faster. Harry looked over his shoulder;we were now blocked from sight; we couldn't see Hagrid's garden at all.

Harry:Stop!They might hear us.

Hagrid's back door had opened with a bang.We stood quite still; even the Hippogriff seemed to be listening intently. Silence... then --

Fudge:Where is it?Where is the beast?
Macnair:It was tied here!I saw it! Just here!
Dumbledore:How extraordinary.
Hagrid:Beaky!

There was a swishing noise, and the thud of an axe. The executioner seemed to have swung it into the fence in anger. And then came the howling, and this time they could hear Hagrid's words through his sobs.

"Gone! Gone! Bless his little beak, he's gone! Musta pulled himself free! Beaky, yeh clever boy!"

Buckbeak started to strain against the rope, trying to get back to Hagrid. we tightened our grip and dug their heels into the forest floor to stop him.

Macnair:Someone untied him!We should search the grounds, the forest.
Dumbledore:Macnair, if Buckbeak has indeed been stolen, do you really think the thief will have led him away on foot?Search the skies, if you will.... Hagrid, I could do with a cup of tea. Or a large brandy.
Hagrid:O' -- o' course, Professor!Come in, come in....

We heard footsteps, the soft cursing of the executioner, the snap of the door, and then silence once more.

Harry:Now what?
Hermione:We'll have to hide in here.We need to wait until they've gone back to the castle. Then we wait until it's safe to fly Buckbeak up to Sirius's window. He won't be there for another couple of hours.... Oh, this is going to be difficult....

She looked nervously over her shoulder into the depths of the forest. The sun was setting now.

Harry:We're going to have to move.We've got to be able to see the Whomping Willow, or we won't know what's going on.
Hermione:Okay.But we've got to keep out of sight, Harry, remember....

We moved around the edge of the forest, darkness falling thickly around them, until we were hidden behind a clump of trees through which we could make out the Willow.

Harry:There's Ron!...And there's Sirius!Looks even worse from here, doesn't it?Wait,how did you know before all of us?
me:Gut instinct.Headstrong belief in my own father.Some facts from some knowledgeable personalities...
Harry:And you managed to make Lupin believe in his innocence too?
me:Pretty much.Took awhile to make the doubt part overgrow the factual part,but it worked.None of you would listen though.I prefered to keep my thoughts to my self.Guess it was for the best.
Harry:Yeah...

The moment they disappeared, the tree began to move again. Seconds later, we heard footsteps quite close by. Dumbledore, Macnair, Fudge, and the old Committee member were making their way up to the castle.

Hermione:Right after we'd gone down into the passage!If only Dumbledore had come with us...
Harry:Macnair and Fudge would've come too.I bet you anything Fudge would've told Macnair to murder Sirius on the spot....
me:Let's just remember how you guys acted,after all...

Then --

Harry:Here comes Lupin!

As another figure sprinting down the stone steps and halting toward the Willow. Clouds were obscuring the moon completely. Lupin seized a broken branch from the ground and prod the knot on the trunk. The tree stopped fighting, and Lupin, too, disappeared into the gap in its roots.

Harry:If he'd only grabbed the cloak.It's just lying there....If I just dashed out now and grabbed it, Snape'd never be able to get it and --
Hermione:Harry, we mustn't be seen!
Harry:How can you stand this?Just standing here and watching it happen?I'm going to grab the cloak!
me:Harry, no!

Hermione seized the back of Harry's robes not a moment too soon. Just then,we heard a burst of song. It was Hagrid, making his way up to the castle, singing at the top of his voice, and weaving slightly as he walked. A large bottle was swinging from his hands.

Hermione:See?See what would have happened? We've got to keep out of sight! No, Buckbeak!

The Hippogriff was making frantic attempts to get to Hagrid again; Harry seized his rope too, straining to hold Buckbeak back.Hagrid meandered tipsily up to the castle. He was gone. Buckbeak stopped fighting to get away. His head drooped sadly.Barely two minutes later, the castle doors flew open yet again, and Snape came charging out of them, running toward the Willow.Harry's fists clenched as Snape skid to a halt next to the tree, looking around. He grabbed the cloak and held it up.Snape seized the branch Lupin had used to freeze the tree, prodded the knot, and vanished from view as he put on the cloak.

HermoineSo that's it.We're all down there... and now we've just got to wait until we come back up again....

She took the end of Buckbeak's rope and tied it securely around the nearest tree, then sat down on the dry ground, arms around her knees.

Hermione:Harry, there's something I don't understand.... Why didn't the Dementors get Sirius? I remember them coming, and then I think I passed out... there were so many of them....
Harry sat down too. He explained what he'd seen; how, as the nearest Dementor had lowered its mouth to Harry's, a large silver something had come galloping across the lake and forced the Dementors to retreat.

me:Well,obviously I fainted before you,but I remember a silvery stag.
Hermione:But what was it?
me:There's only one thing it could have been, to make the Dementors go.A real Patronus. A powerful one.
Hermione:But who conjured it?Didn't you see what they looked like?Was it one of the teachers?
Harry:No...He wasn't a teacher.
Hermione:But it must have been a really powerful wizard, to drive all those Dementors away... If the Patronus was shining so brightly, didn't it light him up? Couldn't you see --?
Harry:Yeah, I saw him.But... maybe I imagined it... I wasn't thinking straight... I passed out right afterward....
HermioneWho did you think it was?
Harry:I think --I think it was my dad.
Hermione:You know...they are..well...-dead.
Harry:I know that.
Hermione:You think you saw  ghosts?
me:Doubt it.
Hermione:But then --
Harry:Maybe I was seeing things.But... from what I could see... it looked like him.... I've got photos of him....I know it sounds crazy.

I started  thinking at the passed opportunity that I just had and wasted away.Maybe I can still do something to stop Pettigrew from...running away...though petrified...

And then, at last, after over an hour...

Hermione:Here we come!

We saw Lupin, Ron, and Pettigrew clambering awkwardly out of the hole in the roots. Then came Hermione... then the unconscious Snape, drifting weirdly upward. Next came I,Harry and dad. 
Any moment now, that cloud was going to move aside and show the moon...

Hermione:Harry,we've got to stay put. We mustn't be seen. There's nothing we can do....
Harry:So we're just going to let Pettigrew escape all over again...
Hermione:How do you expect to find a rat in the dark?There's nothing we can do! We came back to help Sirius; we're not supposed to be doing anything else!
me:*smirking*Actually...-

The moon slid out from behind its cloud.The tiny figures across the grounds stopped.Then we saw movement --

Hermione:There goes Lupin!He's transforming.
Harry:Hermione!We've got to move!
Hermione:We mustn't, I keep telling you --
Harry:Not to interfere! Lupin's going to run into the forest, right at us!
Hermione:Quick!Quick! Where are we going to go? Where are we going to hide? The Dementors will be coming any moment --
Harry:Back to Hagrid's!It's empty now -- come on!

As they kept running,I morphed into my fox form,just as past-me petrified the Rat.I'll stay here and watched until he's somehow transformed and fled the scene.Why did the spell lift...Could it be,because I fainted?
Yes,that might be the case.Then,I just have to be careful and catch the rat,tying him up in a safe spot and show him to Dumbledore.Hagrid got to the Castle,but Dumbledore didn't.Could he still be there?
Hmm--
Just as I thought that,the binding curse on Pettigrew slowly lifted,and he quickly got the wand left laying on the ground near him,morphed into a rat,and darted away.But just about 10 metres away,I caught him tightly as he kept squeaking frantically,as I was running full speed to the Hut,and started scratching on the front door.Just then,Dumbledore opened the door with a pleased look on his face,and let me in.

Dumbledore:Ah,what a delight to have such a beautiful fox in here,gifting me its prey.What brings you hear,dear?

He picked up the rat and examined it.

Dumbledore:Oh yes,I see.Interesting creature you have here.One would say its greatest trait would be treachery,am I right?

I couldn't be seen as my real self,but as an animal,I was fine.I nodded my head and went on my back paws,trying to reach Pettigrew,growling at him.

Dumbledore:My,my,is there something evil about this rat?It couldn't simply be an ordinary one then,could it?Let's see what bothers you so...

With a flick of the wand,the rat was forced to reveal its true form,and a frightened trembling Pettigrew stood in front of the chuckling Dumbledore.

Dumbledore:Such a smart fox we have here.Sly animals indeed.
Pettigrew:P-P-Professor D-Dumbledore..!S-S-Such a-a delight!Yes,indeed!
Dumbledore:Your hand is quite harmed.I wonder,how did one lose a finger,when it was said have been the last piece of him remaining intact?This little fox thought otherwise.Animals are smart,you see.Feel when someone isn't one of their kin. 

Pettigrew:B-B-But Professor!T-this fox isn't an animal e-either!Sh-she is a girl!Black's g-girl!
Dumbledore:Is that so? 
Pettigrew:Y-Yes!Her a-and that k-killer,Black,a-assaulted me!
Dumbledore:Quite interesting you being alive is.I do recall hearing that the cause of  your friends' death was that pathetic excuse of a man,Sirius Black.
Pettigrew:B-but I m-managed t-to survive!
Dumbledore:And framed an innocent man,husband and father.Quite the irresponsible and immoral act,might I say.

He kept stuttering and pleading for mercy,just as he did with us at the Shreaking Shack,but with no avail.Dumbledore kept making amusing comments about the betrayer,then decided to take him back to the Castle after transforming him in his rat form,and I followed them.
Problem is,just as we walked out,Snape appeared with our fainted bodies and saw us.Great thing he doesn't know about my Animagus form...

Snape:See,Dumbledore.Not all Gryffindors are as high as mighty as you make them be.Most of them are just reckless cowards who disregard rules and the plain existence of anyone around them.
Dumbledore:Might be so.But there is also a Slythering you obviously care about.
Snape:A Slytherin who wanted to cling on the only existing part of her family that would drag her out the the forgotten muggle place?
Dumbledore:Yes,dear Miss Black,such a witty mind,in such brave body.Such a pity she has to live there.
Snape:Why can't I just take care of her,Dumbledore?You know I'm well capable of it!
Dumbledore:Other got to her way faster than you did.
Snape:And who would that be,might I ask?
Dumbledore:Young Mr.Malfoy,of course.You cannot say you haven't noticed.
Snape:Obviously,I did notice.But how does this affect anything?
Dumbledore:Narcissa's proposal to move in at theirs.
Snape:Is that...so...
Dumbledore:Don't worry,Severus.I have a premonition that you will have enough time to make sure young Miss Black is under your protective wing.Soon enough.Just have patience.
Snape:What patience,Dumbledore?I waited 12 years,trying to make sure she's in a safe environment,but you just would not listen!
Dumbledore:Everything is part of a greater plan,Severus.You just must wait.
Snape:So you said the last time,and as far as I am aware,Lily and Yami are dead.
Dumbledore:Unfortunate events indeed,but see the bigger picture.Voldemort is dead.
Snape:So what?He will just get his power back,this time,even worse.
Dumbledore:And that is exactly where Harry and Raven will have the greatest influence.
Snape:You keep telling me to wait,yet no progress is seen.
Dumbledore:Please,trust me,Severus.And have trust in Raven's decisions,even in the darkest of times.She won't lose her head.
Snape:I am fully aware.She's a Slytherin,after all.
Dumbledore:As so was Voldemort.
Snape:She's not evil like him.
Dumbledore:You are wrong.She has equally both good and bad in her.It matters only which side she prefers to join.Power,or love.Quite the similar decision,right?

Snape glared at Dumbledore,then we walked in silence,Snape getting the past-us to the hospital wing,but Dumbledore decided to go have a talk to Fudge and tell him about all the misunderstanding,in private.All I know is that,as I ran up to the meeting spot,at the Hospital wing,I saw Dumbledore saying the words that I dreaded most.

"I apologize,Raven.Such radical changes cannot be made."

He said,as he locked us in the room,with Madam Pomfrey,who gave us chocolate.Just as we started eating,a growling loud noise was heard in the distance.

Pomfrey:What was that?Really -- they'll wake everybody up! What do they think they're doing?
Dumbledore:He must have Disapparated, Severus. We should have left somebody in the room with him. When this gets out --
Snape:HE DIDN'T DISAPPARATE!YOU CAN'T APPARATE OR DISAPPARATE INSIDE THIS CASTLE! THIS -- HAS -- SOMETHING -- TO -- DO -- WITH -- POTTER!
Dumbledore:Severus -- be reasonable -- Harry has been locked up --

BAM.

The door of the hospital wing burst open.
Fudge, Snape, and Dumbledore came striding into the ward. Dumbledore alone looked calm. Indeed, he looked as though he was quite enjoying himself. Fudge appeared angry. But Snape was beside himself.

Snape:OUT WITH IT, POTTER!WHAT DID YOU DO?
Pomfrey:Professor Snape!Control yourself!
Fudge:See here, Snape, be reasonable.This door's been locked, we just saw --
Snape:THEY HELPED HIM ESCAPE, I KNOW IT!
Fudge:Calm down, man!You're talking nonsense!
Snape:YOU DON'T KNOW POTTER!HE DID IT, I KNOW HE DID IT --
Dumbledore:That will do, Severus.Think about what you are saying. This door has been locked since I left the ward ten minutes ago. Madam Pomfrey, have these students left their beds?
Pomfrey:Of course not!I would have heard them!
Dumbleore:Well, there you have it, Severus.Unless you are suggesting that Harry,Raven and Hermione are able to be in two places at once, I'm afraid I don't see any point in troubling them further.

Snape stood there, seething, staring from Fudge, who looked thoroughly shocked at his behavior, to Dumbledore, whose eyes were twinkling behind his glasses. Snape whirled about, robes swishing behind him, and stormed out of the ward.

Fudge:Fellow seems quite unbalanced.I'd watch out for him if I were you, Dumbledore.
Dumbledore:Oh, he's not unbalanced.He's just suffered a severe disappointment.
Fudge:He's not the only one!The Daily Prophet's going to have a field day! We had Black cornered and he slipped through our fingers yet again! All it needs now is for the story of that Hippogriff's escape to get out, and I'll be a laughingstock! Well... I'd better go and notify the Ministry.....
Dumbledore:And the Dementors?They'll be removed from the school, I trust?
Fudge:Oh yes, they'll have to go.Never dreamed they'd attempt to administer the Kiss on an innocent boy... Completely out of control... no, I'll have them packed off back to Azkaban tonight ... Perhaps we should think about dragons at the school entrance....
Dumbledore:Hagrid would like that

Just like that,Ron woke up,and we had to explain to him everything.
Well,other than that,Lupin was forced to resign,gave us the Marauders' Map back,Sirius signed our Hogsmeade permission slips that we directly handed to Dumbledore and well.I'll go back to the orphanage.
On another note,I managed to say quite the heartly fare-well to my friends who didn't suspect anything (I hope).
Oh well.
Now to go home and hope I'll be able to have a nice(r) Summber break!
