Chapter 30 - 29

Harry pov

I was in Divination Ron and Shadow were sitting with me. Professor Trelawney started to speak.

"Broaden your minds. You must look beyond. The art of crystal gazing is in the clearing of the Inner Eye. Only then can you see. Try again. Now, what do we have here?" She stopped at our table. "Do you mind me trying?" Harmonie asked wait were did she come from? "The Grim, possibly." She said and Professor Trelawney smile taking her hand. "My dear, from the first moment you stepped foot in my class... ...I sensed that you did not possess the proper spirit... ...for the noble art of Divination. No, you see, there. You may be young in years, but your heart is as shriveled... ...as an old maid's, your soul as dry as the pages of the books... ...to which you so desperately cleave." She said tryin to let Harmonie down gently.

Harmonie knocked the crystal ball off the table and storms out. "Have I said something?" Professor asked worried. "She's gone mental, Hermione has. Not that she wasn't always mental... ...but now it's in the open for everyone to see." Ron said walking with Shadow and myself. Shadow grabbed him throwing him against the wall. "That's my girl your speaking of Weasley. She isn't mental she is fucking brilliant." He said before letting him go to go find Harmonie. I help Ron up he dusts himself off.

"The pair of them are Mental. Harry you and me need to stay single if that's what dating does." I chuckled  before noticing the crystal ball. "Hang on. We better take this back." I said holding it in my hands. "I'm not going back." He said bloody chicken. "Fine. See you later." I said fist bumping Ron "See you Harry. Walking into the Divination classroom I get this un easy vibe. I feel someone grab my shoulder. "He will return tonight." Professor Trelawney said in a trance of some kind. "Sorry?" I asked trying to figure out what she was talking about. "Tonight, he who betrayed his friends, whose heart rots with murder... ...shall break free. Innocent blood shall be spilt... ...and servant and master shall be reunited once more." She said before snapping out of it.

"I'm so sorry, dear boy. Did you say something?" She asked in the normal gentle tone. "No. Nothing." I said booking it before she had a chance to say anything else. "That was freaky" I said to myself heading to the courtyard. Iris was waiting with Shadow,Ron and Harmonie.

Iris pov

I was sitting with Shadow listening he wanted something to give Harmonie. He was blushing and it was honestly adorable. "I just want her to feel good ya know. I can't stand how people talk about her. She is a person too and a beautiful one at that. I just can't believe how lucky I am to have her. I guess you know how that feels?" I chuckle patting his shoulder.

"I thank Godric every day for my two truble makers. They make life interesting for sure." I smile thinking of Fred and George. I was about to make suggestions on what to get Harmonie when she came over. I winked at Shadow and he nods. Ron and Harry show up soon after. 

"Lets go see Hagrid he shouldn't be alone." I said standing up.

"I can't believe they're going to kill Buckbeak. It's just too horrible." Harmonie said Shadow wrapped an arm around her. "It just got worse." Ron said an we stop in our tracks. "What did I say? Father said... ...I can keep the hippogriff's head. I'll donate it to the Gryffindors' room. This is going to be rich." Draco laughed before noticing us. "Look who's here. Come to see the show?" Before Shadow could stop her Harmonie had her wond to his throat. "You! You foul, loathsome, evil little cockroach!" Draco looked scared and rightfully so. "Hermione, no! He's not worth it." Shadow said calming her a fraction. She started to walk away then Draco started to laugh. She turned and punched him braking his nose.

"Malfoy, are you okay?" Crab said "Let's go. Quick." Doyal said running with the two. "Not a word to anyone, understood?" I will have to check on him later. "That felt good." She said making me chuckle. "Not good, brilliant." Shadow said kissing the tip of her nose. "come one you two we are in public." I said making them blush.

*time skip to Hagrid's hut*

"Look at him. Loves the smell of the trees when the wind blows through them." Hagrid said looking out the window at Buckbeak. "Why don't we just set him free?" Harry asked in theory it's a good idea. "They'd know it was me, and then Dumbledore... ...would get into trouble. He's coming down, Dumbledore. Says he wants to be with me when they... When it happens. Great man, Dumbledore. A great man." Poor Hagrid if I wish things could be different. Buckbeak does not deserve this at all.

"We'll stay with you too." Harmonie tried "You'll do no such thing!

Think I want you seeing something like that? No.

You just drink your tea and be off. Oh. Before you do, Ron..." He said before grabbing a Rat. "Scabbers! You're alive!" Ron said happy nothing happed to the pet. "Keep a closer eye on your pets." Hagrid said before Harmonie stood up."I think you owe someone an apology." Shadow place a hand on her shoulder.

"Right. Next time I see Crookshanks, I'll let him know." Ron you thick head bastard. I thought knowing full well what this could do. "I meant me!" She yelled before a cookie flour jar broke. "Blimey. What was that?" Hagrid said before Harry looked out the window. "Hagrid!" Harry pinting "Oh, crikey." Hagrid said before we heard Dumbledore.

"No, minister. Over this way." My heart poud in my ears as fear crept in. "It's late. It's nearly dark. You shouldn't be here. Someone sees you outside this time of night, you'll be in trouble. Particularly you, Harry." Hagrid said directing us to the back. "With you in a moment! Quick. Quick!" He said worried for us. "Hagrid. - It'll be fine. It'll be okay." Harry said I grab him by the arm pulling him with me. "Go on, go on!" Hagrid said shutting the door behind us. We all crouch behind one of the pumpkins. - That's ling you see over there... - On the slope. - On the slope... Ah, Hagrid. - Professor Dumbledore. - Good evening. - Minister. Make your way through. - Have a tea, if you like. - No, Hagrid. - Gentlemen. - I'd like a cup of tea. Well, I think we should get down to our business, shall we? Very well.

It is the decision of the Committee for the Disposal... ...of Dangerous Creatures that the hippogriff Buckbeak... ...hereinafter called "the condemned," shall be executed this day at sundown. - Dear, dear... - Now, now, Hagrid. Now, come on. - All right. It'll be all right. - The execution shall dispatch..." I wanted to stop this awful tragedy but I am unable to. "What?" Ron asked bringing me out of my thoughts. "I thought I just saw... Never mind. - Let's go." Harmonie said before we creep away. We stood at the top of the hill "Buckbeak didn't mean no harm." I hear Hagrid say it brakes my heat knowing what the creature ment to him.

I will make Draco regret this no doubt Fred and George will help me. The sound of crows ran threw the wind. Shadow held Harmonie a she cried in his chest. The squeal of a rat made me look to Ron. "He bit me. Scabbers." Ron ran after the rat. " Scabbers, come back. Wait!" We ran after the two. Ron dove onto Scabbers."Scabbers, you bit me!" My heart pouds in my chest at realization. "Harry, you do realize what tree this is?" Harmonie asked in horror."That's not good. Ron, run!" Harry yelled and then Ron pointed behind us. "Harry, Hermione,Shadow, Iris run! It's the Grim!" I turn to see Uncle Sirius in his dog form. Before I could react Uncle Sirius was dragging Ron into the wompping willow. We rush after them, if my theory is currect then we can prove his innocence. 

Once we were inside we followed the pathway. "Ron. You're okay." Harry asked. "The dog. Where is he?" I asked making Ron point to the door. "It's a trap. He's the dog. He's an Animagus." The door closed to reveal Uncle Sirius."If you want to kill Harry, you have to kill us too!" Harmonie said pushing Harry behind her.

"Harmonie he is not going to hurt Harry or anyone here. Well there is one person he is after." I said standing between her and my uncle. My wond at the ready I knew how it looked but , I am the only one in this room who knew the truth."No. Only one will die tonight." Uncle Sirius said placing a hand on my shoulder. "Then it'll be you!" Harry yelled tossing me aside pinning Uncle Sirius to the floor. "Are you going to kill me, Harry?" Uncle Sirius laughs. I was about to cast a disarming charm when Uncle Mooney showed up. "Expelliarmus!" Uncle Mooney cast disarming Harry.  I caught his wond before rising to my feet. "Well, well, Sirius. Looking rather ragged, aren't we? Finally, the flesh reflects the madness within." Uncle Mooney said with a bit of a laugh. "Well, you'd know all about the madness within, wouldn't you Remus?"

Uncle Mooney help Uncle Sirius up. "Are you ok Iris sweetheart? That was a hard fall you took." Uncle Remus asked before uncle Sirius chimes in. "I found him." Uncle Sirius looked over at Ron."I know. He's here. I understand."  "Let's kill him!" Uncle Sirius said excited "No! I trusted you! And all this time, you've been his friend. He's a werewolf! That's why he's been missing classes." Harmonie yelled pointing at them. "How long have you known?" Honestly is that really important right now? " Since Professor Snape set the essay." She said looking a bit frightened. "Well, Hermione. You are the brightest witch of your age I've ever met." Uncle Sirius was starting to become inpatient." Enough talk, Remus! Come on, let's kill him! " he said and uncle Remus wanted him to wait a moment longer. 

"I did my waiting! Twelve years of it! In Azkaban!" He spent time for a crime he didn't even commit. "Very well. Kill him. But wait one more minute. Harry has the right to know why." Uncle Mooney said handing uncle Sirius his wond. "I know why. You betrayed my parents. - You're the reason they're dead!" Did my explanation in Hogsmeade mean nothing to him? "No, it wasn't him. Somebody did betray your parents... ...somebody who, until quite recently, I believed to be dead!" Uncle Remus tried to reasone with Harry. "Who was it, then? " Oh now you ask questions Harry? I thought watchingthe sean play out. "Peter Pettigrew! And he's in this room! Right now! Come out, come out, Peter! - Come out, come out and play!" I chuckled  until I saw my father "Expelliarmus!" My father cast the disarming charm pinning Uncle Sirius to the door. "Vengeance is sweet. How I hoped I'd be the one to catch you."

He was so caught up in revenge that he failed to see reason. I stood by Harry handing  him his wond. "Severus..." Uncle Mooney tried but my father can be pig headed. "I told Dumbledore you were helping a friend into the castle. Here's the proof."

"Daddy please listen he is innocent." I said making him glare ar me. "You have no idea how much truble you are in young lady. I will deal with you later." Tears threatened to fall he really doesn't believe me.

"Brilliant, Snape. You put your keen mind to the task and come to the wrong conclusion. If you'll excuse us, Remus and I have business... ...to attend to." I grip my wond fighting myself "Give me a reason. I beg you!"  "Don't be a fool." Uncle Mooney tried. " He can't help it. It's habit.

Be quiet." This is getting harder to watch "Be quiet yourself! You two, quarrelling like an old married couple." My father was being crule. "Run along and play with your chemistry set!" Wrong thing to say to him Uncle Sirius.

"I could do it, you know. But why deny the dementors? They're so longing to see you. Do I detect a flicker of fear? Oh, yes. A Dementor's Kiss. One can only imagine what that must be like. It's said to be nearly unbearable to witness, but I'll do my best." I steady my breath and ready myself.

"Sorry daddy Expelliarmus!" I cast the spell with tears in my eyes. "Iris! What did you just do? - You attacked a teacher!" Harmonie said in honor. "Tell me about Peter." Harry demanded knowing why I attracted my father. "He was at school with us. We thought he was our friend!" Sirius explained "No. Pettigrew's dead. You killed him!" Harry yelled.  "No, he didn't. I thought so too, until you mentioned Pettigrew on the map!" Remus said trying to reassure Harry. "The map was lying, then." Harry said confused. "The map never lies! Pettigrew's alive! And he's right there!" Uncle Sirius yelled pointing to Ron.

" Me?! He's mental!" Poor Ron I thought. " Not you! Your rat!" Uncle Sirius yelled. " Scabbers has been in my family for... " Before Ron could finish Uncle Sirius cuts him off. "Twelve years? Curiously long life for a common garden rat! - He's missing a toe, isn't he?" Uncle Sirius is right I did find it odd myself now it makes sense.  "So what?" Ron asked. "All they could find of Pettigrew was his..." Harry and myself  spoke before being cut off by Uncle Sirius. "Finger! Dirty coward cut it off so everyone would think he was dead! - And then he transformed into a rat!" Uncle Sirius explained before Harry demanded proof. I pointed my wond at Ron. Shadow tried to step in but backed off when I glared at him. "Give it to him, Ron. If I can attack my father.  What is stopping me from doing the same to you." I was bluffing of course but he didn't know that. Uncle Sirius got the rat from Ron.

"What are you trying to do to him? Scabbers! Leave him alone! Get off him! What are you doing?" Ron's voice was starting to annoy me. Sure enough the bastardin question was alive. "Remus? Sirius. My old friends! Harry! Look at you. You look so much like your father. - James. We were the best of friends... Oh sweet Iris you are just beautiful like your mother Lily." Uncle Mooney and Uncle Puppy pulled him away from us. "How dare you speak to Harry and Iris! How dare you talk about their parens  in front of them!" Uncle Sirius yells "You sold James and Lily to Voldemort!" Uncle Remus yelled. "I didn't mean to! The Dark Lord. You have no idea the weapons he possesses! Ask yourself, Sirius! What would you have done? What would you have done?" The bloody coward tried to justify his actions.

" I would have Died, rather than betray my friends!" Sirius yelled and Pettigrew tried to get away. "James wouldn't have wanted me killed! Your dad would have spared me! He would have shown me mercy!" I had my wond pointed at him.

"Should have realized if Voldemort didn't kill you, we would. Together!" Remus Yelled both pointing their wonds at him. "No!" Harry yelled "Harry, this man..." Uncle Mooney tried to explain only for Harry to cut him off. "I know what he is. But we'll take him to the castle." He said Peter rushed to him. " Bless you, boy. Bless you!" He said hugging Harry. "Get off!" I first a spark at Pettigrew. He looked at me fearful. "Keep your gruby hands off my brother." My voice was low and threatening. "I said we'd take you to the castle. After that, the dementors can have you." Harry said I step to his side. "Just so nothing funny happens Stupefy" I cast the one spell I knew would keep him from running.
