"Y/n? Harry?" I hear Hermione say as I open my eyes to be met with her chocolate-colored eyes.
"We saw our parents..." Harry mutters as Hermione looks back at him confused.
"What?" Hermione asks, clearly confused by what he meant.
"They sent the dementors away. I saw them across the lake..." Harry explains as Hermione sighs.
"Listen, y/n, harry, they've captured sirius and plan to kill him without a trial. Any minute the dementors are going to preform the kiss." Hermione explains as I sit up and look at her with my eyes wide.
"You mean they're going to kill him?!" Harry asks as he also sits up, Hermione looks between the two of us in concern.
"No, it's worse. Much worse. They're going to suck out his soul." Hermione says before suddenly the doors open, revealing dumbledore.
"Headmaster, you've got to stop them!" Harry exclaims as he walks towards dumbledore, me and Hermione following.
"They've got the wrong man." Hermione adds on as dumbledores eyes sparkle.
"It's true sir, sirius is innocent!" Harry confirms as I nod aswell.
"It's scabbers who did it!" I hear weasel-bee exclaim as I turn towards him, just noticing his presence.
"Scabbers?" Dumbledore asks as weasel-bee nods.
"He's my rat, sir. He's not really a rat... uh, well, he was a rat. He was my brother Percy's rat! But then they gave him an owl, then I got..." Ron trails off from his rant as Hermione sighs.
"The point is, we know the truth! Please believe us." Harry says as dumbledores eyes sparkle before a pretend sad look crosses his face.
"I do, mr. Potter. But I'm sorry to say, the word of three thirteen year old wizards will convince few others." Dumbledore explains before walking towards Ron, I glare at the man.
"A child's voice, however honest and true, is meaningless..." dumbledore pauses as he hits Weasel-bee's injured foot, causing him to gasp and grab it in pain. Dumbledores simply hits it again before continuing, "To those who have forgotten how to listen."
"Mysterious thing, time. Powerful. And when meddled with... dangerous." Dumbledore says as he walks past us, glancing at Hermione.
"Sirius black is in the topmost cell of the dark tower. You know the laws, miss granger. You must not be seen. And you would do well, I feel, to return before this last chime. If not, the consequences are too ghastly to discuss." Dumbledore says as he walks towards Hermione with a serious expression on his face.
"If you succeed tonight, more than one innocent life may be spared. Three turns should do it, I think." Dumbledores winks before turning around and walking away.
"Oh, by the way... when in doubt, I find retracing my steps to be a wise place to begin. Good luck." Dumbledores explains before closing the doors.
"What the bloody hell was that all about?" Weasel-bee asks as Hermione turns towards him.
"Well, Weasley, seeing as you can't walk..." Hermione trials off before putting a time turner around the three of our necks.
The turns it three times as time fastly rewinds around us, showing the blurred figures of people walking around before she takes the time turner off.
"What just happened? Where's Weasley?" Harry asks as Hermione ignore him and steps forward.
"Seven thirty. Where were we at even thirty?" Hermione asks as I think for a moment before looking back up at her.
"We were going to Hagrids." I answer her as she nods, grabbing mine and Harry's arm.
"Come on! And we can't be seen!" She exclaims as we run off towards Hagrids hut.
———
"Hermione! Hermione wait! Hermione, will you please tell me what it is we're doing?" Harry says as we run down to where past Hermione was arguing with Weasley.
Harry watches what happened as he stays frozen in place.
"But... that's you two... this is not normal..." Harry mutters before Hermione drags him back against the wall, taking out the time turner.
"This is a time-turner, Harry. Mcgonagall gave it to me first term. This is how I've been getting to my lessons all year." Hermione explains to Harry as he stares at her in confusion.
"You mean... we've gone back in time?" Harry asks as Hermione nods in confirmation.
"Dumbledore obviously wanted us to return to this moment. Clearly something happened he wants us to change..." Hermione mutters as past Hermione punches Weasel-bee in the face.
"Good punch." Harry compliments as Hermione grins.
"Thanks." Hermione says before we notice weasley come running up to where we are.
"Weasleys coming, run." Hermione says as we quickly jump down as hide behind the wall, going closer as the past us run down the hill.
"Look, buckbeaks still alive..." Harry says in realization.
"Of course...! Remember what dumbledore said? If we succeed, more than one innocent life could be spared." Hermione says before we quickly run down the hill towards Hagrids hut.
We hide behind the pumpkins as we notice the three men walking down the hill.
"Here they come. We'd better hurry." Harry says as he tries to get up but was pulled back down by Hermione.
"Fudge has to see buckbeak before we steal him. otherwise, he'll think hagrid set him free." Hermione explains quietly as Harry nods.
We watch as Harry grist his teeth when past me grabs the rat. Harry glares daggers at the rat as he whispers, "That's pettigrew..."
"Harry, don't." I say as Harry grits his teeth but nods silently.
Hermione glances at us before dragging us over to another spot so we won't be seen.
"Fudge is coming. And we aren't leaving...?" Hermione mutters in confusion as she looks back at the hut.
"Why aren't we leaving...?" Hermione mutters as I glance down and see a stone laying on a pumpkin.
I grin as I chuck it through the window, breaking the vase.
"Blimey! What was that? Are you mad?" Hermione whisper yells as I ignore him, grabbing another stone and chucking it so it hits the back of past me's head.
We watch as past us run out the hut when the men enter.
"We're coming out the back door! Run!" Hermione exclaims as we quickly run back into the forest.
"Is that really what my hair looks like from the back?" Hermione asks before she steps on a branch, making it snap.
She quickly hides behind a tree as past Hermione glances towards us.
Once the two of us run off, we quickly walk back over behind the pumpkins.
"Okay, go!" Hermione whisper yells as i nod and walk towards buckbeak.
I bow towards buckbeak as he nods back, letting me walk closer and remove the chain keeping him there.
"Okay, buckbeak? Come with us now, okay? Come on..." i mutter as I try to pull on the chain.
"Buckbeak...!" I whisper yell as the hippogriff makes no move.
"Come on buckbeak...!" Hermione says as she grabs some dead ferrets, buckbeak gets up and we almost get buckbeak out.
We pause as all of them walk out, before quickly getting buckbeak into the forest.
———
"Now what?" Harry asks once we get deep enough into the forest.
"We save sirius." I answer as Hermione nods, all three of us walking up the hill.
"How?" Harry asks as Hermione shrugs.
"No idea."
We walk up towards there whomping willow as we notice remus.
"Look. It's lupin!" Hermione says as we watch him go down into the secret tunnel.
"And snapes coming." Hermione adds on as we notice snape also going down the secret passageway.
———
"Y/n.. Hermione..." Harry says, catching our attention.
"Mhm?"
"Before... down by the lake, with sirius. We did see two people... those people made the dementors go away." Harry says as I sigh at him.
"With a patronus. I heard snape telling dumbledore. According to him, only really powerful wizards could have conjured it." Hermione explains as Harry nods.
"It was our parents. It was our parents who conjured the patronus's." Harry say with a fond smile as Hermione tilts her head.
"But Harry... your parents are—" hermione was cut off by Harry.
"Dead. I know! I'm just telling you what I saw...." Harry mutters as I sigh and look back at the tree.
"Here we come." Hermione says as we stand up.
"You see sirius talking to us there?" Harry asks as Hermione nods.
"Mhm."
"He's asking us to come and live with him." Harry says as Hermione smiles softly.
"That's great." Hermione mutters as she smiles at the two of us.
"When as free him, we'll never have to go back to the Dursley's. It'll just be him and us. We could live in the country, someplace you can see the sky. I think he'll like that, after all those years in Azkaban." Harry explains before we watch Lupin transform into a werewolf.
"Let's go." Harry stares as we run over to where we threw the rock at the wolf.
Hermione fake howls as the wolf pauses, looking over.
"What are you doing...?!" Harry whisper yells as he tries to stop Hermione.
"Saving both your lives!!" Hermione explains before howling again.
The wolf snarls as it runs towards us quickly.
"Great, now he's coming for us." Harry remarks as Hermione staggers back slightly.
"Yeah... didn't think about that, run!" Hermione yells before we all run deeper into the woods.
We run all the way to the middle of the forest as we hide behind a tree, watching as the wolf runs around.
We hear it howl as we back up, only to hear growling behind us as we stagger away from the wolf.
It growls and goes to attack us but was stopped when buckbeak ran infront of us, hitting the wolf and making it run away.
Buckbeak turns towards as hermione holds onto me.
"Poor professor Lupin's having a really tough night." Harry mutters before suddenly the wind picks up, we look up as we notice dementors flying over towards the lake.
We run all the way to the opposite side of the lake as we watch the past us souls be sucked out.
"This is horrible..." Hermione whispers as Harry nods.
"Don't worry. My parents will come. They'll conjure the patronus's." Harry confirms as I look at him blankly.
The dementors whirl around past us as I stare blankly.
"Any minute now!" Harry says as nothing happens.
"Right there! You'll see!" Harry exclaims, becoming more desperate as he points to where the patronus's stood.
"Harry... no one's coming." I say to him as Hermione watches in concern.
"Don't worry! He will!" Harry says as he nods his head. "He will come!"
"You're dying..." Hermione mutters as Harry stares blankly at past us. "All of you..."
I quickly run forward along with Harry as I glare at the dementors.
"Expecto patronum!" We cast at the same time as a ball of light forces the dementors away, a fox jumps in as a deer prances out from this air.
The deer fades away as soon as the danger was gone but the fox glances back at me before disappearing aswell.
———
We fly on buckbeak as Hermione wraps her arms tightly around my torso in fear.
"You two were right! It wasn't our parents I saw earlier. It was us! I saw ourselves conjuring the patronus's before. I knew it could do it this time because, because... well, I'd already done it!" Harry laughs as Hermione tightens her grip as she looks down at the ground fearfully.
"Does that make sense?" Harry ask as Hermione shakes her head.
"No!" Hermione yells as she looks down in fear.
"But I don't like fly—" she was cut off as we fly faster, causing her to scream.
We land on the tower of sirius looks towards us.
"Bombarda!" Hermione yells as the gate explodes open.
———
Sirius laughs as we fly on buckbeak over to where we can land.
Once we land, we guide sirius over where no one can se him.
"I'll be forever grateful for this. To all of you." Sirius says with a smile as Harry looks at him.
"I want to go with you." Harry explains as sirius shakes hos head with a grin.
"One day, perhaps. For some time, my life will be too unpredictable. And besides... you're meant to be here." Sirius explains as he grabs both our shoulders.
"But you're innocent..." Harry mutters as Sirius smiles at us.
"And you both know it. And for now, that'll do." Sirius explains with a small laugh as he stares at the two of us.
"I expect you're tired of hearing this... but you both look so much like your parents." Sirius mutters fondly as Harry laughs slightly.
"It's cruel that I got to spend so much time with James and lily and you so little. But know this... the ones that love us never really leave us. And you can always find them..." Sirius pauses as he puts a hand to our hearts. "In here."
Sirius then gets up and walks back towards buckbeak, getting up.
"You really are the brightest witch of your age." Sirius laughs as Hermione smiles before backing up.
"And harry, y/n... make sure not to trust dumbledore, no matter what." Sirius explains before he rides off with buckbeak.
I let a small smile cross my face as I stare at him.
Suddenly the bell chimes as hermione and I share a look.
"We have to go." Hermione says to Harry as he nods, running back to the medical wing.
We quickly run up to the medical wing as we watch dumbledore closes the door.
"Well?" He asks as I glare at the man.
"He's free. We did it." Harry says as dumbledore glances between the three of us.
"Did what?" Dumbledore mutters before walking past us with one final wave, "Good night."
We open the doors to the infirmary as Weasel-bee stares in shock.
"How did you get there?" Weasley mutters as he stares at us. "You were... I was talking to you there... and now you're there."
"What on earth is the fool going on about now, y/n?" Hermione asks with a taunting grin.
"Why, I have no idea mione. Honestly, weasel-bee, how can someone be in two places at once?" I tease with a grin as Hermione snickers.
