(A/N: Hey guys!!!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!! I have an ESPECIALLY long chapter today, it's almost 2000 words, YAY!!!! Enjoy!!!!)

Lana's PoV

Hermione swayed on the spot, and the three of them looked like they were in shock. I was still too. And NOT because of shock, but because of anger. Anger burned inside of me as bright as the sun. HOW COULD THEY JUST MURDER AN INNOCENT CREATURE LIKE THAT!!!!!

I should've STOPPED IT! I shouldve done something!

A sinking feeling entered my stomach and I felt tears prick in the corners of my eyes. I was too lost in my own world to pay attention. I should've taken them on! I should've saved Buckbeck.

"Ouch!!! Scabbers, he..... he... he BIT me!!!!" Rob however dramatically.

Ronald is SUCH a drama queen.

I should hang out with Cedric soon, I haven't seen him for a while. I've been too caught up with everything. I haven't IM'd Camp for a while either. I haven't done a lot of things that I normally do. Wow, I've changed a lot. I mean, when I was little, I never liked cutting my hair, Percy always forced me too. I remember how he'd chase me around and-

"SCABBERS!!!!! NOOOOOOOO!" Ron shrieked.

The rat slipped between the red headed boy's fingers and started to scamper away. Ron threw the invisibility cloak off of him and pelted away into the darkness.

"Ron!!!" Hermione moaned.

We all looked at each other and followed Ron, sprinting into the darkness. But it was impossible for Hermione and Harry to run under the cloak, so get just pulled it off. The silvery fabric seemed to glow through the darkness, the last rays of the sun reflecting off of it. Luckily I wasn't under the cloak, I had my invisibility ring.

"Get away from him!!! Get away!!!! SCABBERS!!! COME HERE!!!!" Ron shrieked hysterically.

A loud thud sounded in my ears and I rolled my eyes, what did he do NOW? Roll off a cliff?

"Gotcha!!!! GET OFF!!!! YOU STINKING BALL OF-" Ron shrieked.

Harry and Hermione almost fell over Ron, pity, they skidded to a stop in front of the boy. Scabber-grew was back in his pocket and he held both hands tight over the lump of fat. He was whispering things to the rat and I mentally laughed.

"Why are you laughing?" Harry whispered to me.

Okay, maybe I didn't mentally laugh, but what if Scabber-grew turned into Pettigrew right now. And Ron would be murmering loving things into his head, instead of his fur-

Okay, I'm done.

"No reason," I told the green eyed boy.

He gave me a doubtful look, his forehead crinkling.

I noticed how little space there was between us, and I almost stopped breathing when the boy looked at me with concern, care in the depths of his emerald green eyes.

He leaned in, and then........

I heard the thumping of paws. Oh gods, is that......

"Snuffles!!!" I exclaimed as the dog bowled Harry down.

"Lumos," I heard Harry whisper, and the light from his wand pierced through the darkness.

At the base of the trunk, was Sirius, dragging Ron into a large gap in the roots. ROn was struggling, and it was kinda funny, watching him fail... OKAY, HOLY HERA SIRIUS DRAGGED THE BOY INTO A HOLE IN THE GROUND!!!! OH GODS!!!! Sirius can't kill Peter, what if Peter hurts Ron? I let out a frustrated shriek.
