Y/N POV
"Shocking business... shocking.. Miracle none of them died...never heard the like... by thunder, it was lucky you were there, Snape."
"Thank you, Minister."
"Order of Merlin, Second Class, I'd say. First Class, if I can wrangle it!"
"Thank you very much, Minister."
I slowly opened my eyes to find myself in the hospital wing in a bed. Hermione was in the bed facing me and I'm guessing Ron, Harry and Lana are here as well. Hermione was still asleep, I was holding her when I collapsed. Fudge and Snape didn't seem to see me wake up, cause Fudge seemed to be buying the shit Snape was selling him.
"Nasty cut you've got there..." Fudge said. "Black's work, I suppose?"
"As a matter of fact, it was Potter, Weasley, Granger and the Lovegoods, Minister..."
"No!"
"Bullshit!" I said as I shot up from my bed, surprising the both of them.
"Y/N!" Fudge said. "Your mother would be very happy to see you up."
"Yeah, but number one," I said. "You don't call me by my name. At all. And two, you're an idiot. A stupid, biased idiot."
"I am the Minister of Magic, Y/N." Fudge said sternly. "How dare you talk like that to me."
"Yeah, well I don't give two shits what you are." I said. "You lost every ounce of respect I ever had for you."
"And why is that?" He asked.
"Snape's lying." Lana said as she woke up which earned him scowling at her. "Harry, Ron, and Hermione didn't cause that cut. We did."
"Why did you do it?" He asked.
"Snape told Hermione to shut her mouth and called her a stupid girl." I said bluntly. "He clearly doesn't know how to respect women. Give us all Vertisurem, and see who's telling the truth."
'I can't believe you put your personal vendetta here, Severus.' I said in his head. 'And we aren't Grindelwald, so don't ever compare us to him.'
Now that I think about it, Snape didn't even tell Fudge. Fudge still didn't even know about our lineage. Why didn't Snape tell him?
'You should be thanking me.' Snape said. 'This fool doesn't know your secret, and I clearly won't tell him. Black should pay for what he's done.'
"Minister, if you want, I will take you to Professor Dumbledore." Snape said. "They must remain here." He took Fudge out of the room.
"Ugh, what happened?" A sweet voice said next to me as I looked to my right. Hermione had woken up and looked up at me. "How did we get here, Y/N?"
"I'm actually not sure." I said. "But from what I remember, you collapsed and I caught you before you hit the ground. Are you feeling okay?"
She looked down at her arm, which was now in a bandage and looked back. "Fine, I suppose." She said. "But you're always there to save me, aren't you?" She grinned at me.
"Of course I am." I smiled as I heard another groan from Harry from around the room while Madam Pomfrey came in with an enormous chunk of chocolate.
"Oh, you're awake!" Madam Pomfrey said as she broke the chocolate with a hammer.
"How's Ron?" Lana and Harry asked.
"He'll live." She said. "As for you four, you'll be staying here until I'm satisfied you're -- Potter, what do you think you're doing?"
Harry had stood up and placed his glasses on his head and picked up his wand. "I need to see the headmaster." He said.
"Potter," Madam Pomfrey said. "It's all right. They've got Black. He's locked away upstairs. The Dementors will perform the kiss any moment now."
"WHAT?" Harry yelled. I jumped out of my bed along with Hermione and Lana had done the same. Along with that, Fudge and Snape came back with Dumbledore.
"Minister, listen!" Harry said. "Sirius Black's innocent! Peter Pettigrew faked his own death! We saw him tonight! You can't let the Dementors do that thing to Sirius, he's --"
"Harry, Harry, you're very confused, you've been through a dreadful ordeal, lie back down, now, we've got everything under control..."
"YOU HAVEN'T!" Harry yelled. "YOU'VE GOT THE WRONG MAN!"
"Harry, he's not gonna listen." I said. "He only cares about his image in the public eye."
"Minister, listen, please," Hermione said. "I saw him too. It was Ron's rat, he's an Animagus, Pettigrew, I mean, and -"
"You see, Minister?" said Snape. "Confunded, both of them... Black's done a very good job on them..."
"WE'RE NOT CONFUNDED!" Harry yelled.
"Minister! Professors!" Madam Pomfrey. "I must insist that you leave. They are my patients, and they should not be distressed!"
"I'm not distressed, I'm trying to tell them what happened!" Harry said furiously. "If they'd just listen -"
Madam Pomfrey then forced Harry to eat a piece of chocolate in his mouth
"Now, please, Minister, these children need care. Please leave."
"Professor Dumbledore, Sirius Black -"
"My apologies, Poppy, but I need a word with Mr. Potter, Miss Granger and the Lovegoods," said Dumbledore calmly. "I have just been talking to Sirius Black -"
"I suppose he's told you the same fairy tale he's planted in their minds?" spat Snape. "Something about a rat, and Pettigrew being alive -"
"That, indeed, is Black's story,"
"And does my evidence count for nothing? Peter Pettigrew was not in the Shrieking Shack, nor did I see any sign of him on the grounds."
"That was because you were knocked out, Professor!" said Hermione earnestly. "You didn't arrive in time to hear."
"Miss Granger, HOLD YOUR TONGUE!" My eyes flickered as he yelled again.
"Now, Snape," said Fudge, startled, "the young lady is disturbed in her mind, we must make allowances -"
"I would like to speak to Harry, Hermione, Y/N and Lana alone," said Dumbledore abruptly. "Cornelius, Severus, Poppy - please leave us."
"Headmaster!" sputtered Madam Pomfrey. "They need treatment, they need rest -"
"This cannot wait," said Dumbledore. "I must insist."
Madam Pomfrey pursed her lips and strode away into her office at the end of the ward, slamming the door behind her. Fudge consulted the large gold pocket watch dangling from his waistcoat.
"The Dementors should have arrived by now," he said. "I'll go and meet them. Dumbledore, I'll see you upstairs." He then left to greet them.
"You surely don't believe a word of Black's story?" Snape whispered, his eyes fixed on Dumbledore's face. "I wish to speak to them alone," Dumbledore repeated. Snape took a step toward Dumbledore.
"Sirius Black showed he was capable of murder at the age of sixteen," he breathed. "You haven't forgotten that, Headmaster? You haven't forgotten that he once tried to kill me?"
"My memory is as good as it ever was, Severus," said Dumbledore quietly. Snape growled silently and left the room as Dumbledore watched him. He then turned around to us, to find himself bombarded with our voices.
"Professor, Black's telling the truth - we saw Pettigrew - he escaped when Professor Lupin turned into a werewolf -"
"- he's a rat -"
"- Pettigrew's front paw, I mean, finger, he cut it off -"
"- Pettigrew attacked Ron, it wasn't Sirius -"
Dumbledore raised his hand to stop us talking
"There is not a shred of proof to support Black's story, except your word - and the words of three 14 years old wizards and one 13 year old wizard will not convince anybody. A street full of eyewitnesses swore they saw Sirius murder Pettigrew. I myself gave evidence to the Ministry that Sirius had been the Potters' Secret-Keeper."
"Remus can tell you!" Lana and I said in unison.
"Professor Lupin is currently deep in the forest, unable to tell anyone anything. By the time he is human again, it will be too late, Sirius will be worse than dead. I might add that werewolves are so distrusted by most of our kind that his support will count for very little and the fact that he and Sirius are old friends -"
"Listen to me, Harry. It is too late, you understand me? You must see that Professor Snape's version of events is far more convincing than yours."
"He hates Sirius." Hermione said. 'All because of some stupid trick Sirius played on him."
"Sirius has not acted like an innocent man. The attack on the Fat Lady - entering Gryffindor Tower with a knife - without Pettigrew, alive or dead, we have no chance of overturning Sirius's sentence."
"But you believe us?" Lana asked.
"Yes, I do." He said to the four of us. "But I have no power to make other men see the truth, or to overrule the Minister of Magic... But what we need... is more time." He looked at me, Lana and Hermione
Lana and I squinted at first and Hermione was confused.
"But-" Hermione began before she realized. "Oh!"
"You're talking about the -" Lana and I asked.
"Yes." Dumbledore said. "Now, pay attention. Sirius is locked in Professor Flitwick's office on the seventh floor. 13th window from the right of the West Tower. If all goes well, you will be able to save more than one innocent life tonight. But remember this, all four of you. You must not be seen. Y/N, Lana, Miss Granger, you know the law -- you know what is at stake... You -- must-- not-- be -- seen."
We all nodded while Harry stood there in confusion. Dumbledore turned his back and went to the doors. "I am going to lock you in." He said. "It is -- five minutes to midnight. Three turns should do it. Use only two of them. Good luck."
He closed the door and locked it. "Good luck?" Harry asked. "Three turns? What's he talking about? What are we supposed to do?"
I didn't pay any heed to what he was saying as I pulled out my Time Turner and Lana grabbed hers.
"Harry, come here!" Lana said as he did what she asked. She then put the chain around his neck while I did the same for Hermione.
"You ready, sis!" I asked as Hermione took my hand.
"What are we doing?" Harry asked.
"Yep! All good!" Lana said. "On three..."
We both took our hands to the rings and turned it three times. Everything turned into reverse and very fast as well. Suddenly we came back on the ground and we put the Time Turners back into our jackets.
"Y/N, Lana..." Harry said. "What happened?"
"We've gone back in time." Hermione said. "Three hours back."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hermione POV
"Where did you get that hourglass thing?"
"It's called a Time-Turner." I said. "Y/N, Lana and I got them from Professor McGonagall on our first day back. We've been using them to get to our classes all year. She made us swear that we wouldn't tell anyone but ourselves. She had to write all sorts of letters to the Ministry of Magic so we could have one. She told them that we were model students and that Y/N and Lana were being taught by Dumbledore, and that we would never, ever use it for anything but studies... We've been turning it back so we could do hours over again, that's how we've been doing several lessons at once, see?"
"What I don't get is what Dumbledore meant." Lana said, "More than one innocent life can be saved? How's that going to help?"
I thought about it until it dawned on me. "Lana, we're gonna save Buckbeak!"
"But -- how will that help Sirius?" Harry asked.
"Dumbledore said where Sirius was located!" Y/N said. "We have to save Buckbeak and Buckbeak escapes with Sirius!"
As we got ready to leave, we saw past us walking to Malfoy and in a few minutes, how I would smack him in the face.
"You!" Past Hermione said. "You foul, loathsome, evil little cockroach!" I was quite weird hearing me speak when it wasn't even me.
"That's us!" Harry said.
"Ahh, yes." Y/N said sarcastically. "And the floor is made of floor."
Moments later, I had smacked Malfoy in the face and Y/N told him he would tell everyone. "Nice punch." Y/N said. "I never told you that."
I smiled lightly. "Thanks."
His face changed expressions. "Malfoy's coming! Hide!"
Lana and Harry hid behind on the pillars while Y/N and I hid behind another. We were close together so that they wouldn't stop us and our faces were really close together.
"I'm gonna get that jumped-up Mudblood!" Malfoy said. "Mark my words."
"And he better mark mine," Y/N said, "Cause no-one's gonna get you, 'Mione."
I couldn't help but blush madly as I put my head on his chest. As the Slytherins left the hallway, the four of us left for Hagrids, where the past versions of us were.
"Fudge has to see Buckbeak before we steal him." I said. "Otherwise, he'll think Hagrid set him free."
"This is the weirdest thing we've ever done." Harry said.
We kept watch for the right time where Harry said, "Now?"
"No!" Y/N said. "If he steals him now, those Committee people think Hagrid set him free! We've got to wait until they've seen he's tied outside!"
"That's going to give us about sixty seconds," Harry said. "Can't we just grab Pettigrew?"
"Harry, I know those people you live with are bloody stupid, but have they ever shown you time travel movies?" Y/N said. "You can't change time, nobody is!"
"We'd only be seen by ourselves and Hagrid!"
"What would you do if you saw yourself bursting in and grabbing that damn rat?"
"I'd -- I'd think I'd gone mad or I'd think there was some Dark Magic going on--"
"Exactly! You might even attack yourself! Grandma told us what awful thing could have happened when wizards meddled with time... some even ended up killing their past or future selves by mistake!"
"Okay! It was just an idea, I just thought--"
"Wait, one moment." Y/N said as he grabbed two rocks and chucked them. "There, that should work. Ow." He put his hand to his head as I did the same.
"Guys," Lana said. "They're coming!" She was right. Dumbledore, Fudge, the Committee member and Walden Macnair, the executioner were coming down.
"We're about to go out!" I said.
We all ran out to Buckbeak, who chirped quietly as he saw me and Y/N come down. "Hey, Beaky!" He said quietly. "We're gonna get you out of here, okay?"
Buckbeak nodded and followed us as we led him with dead ferrets.
"Hurry up now, Buckbeak, okay?" I said. "Come on, Buckbeak. Come and get the nice dead ferret!"
"Hey, Hermione?" Y/N asked kindly. "Maybe try with a softer tone?"
"Oh, yeah." I said blushing. "That's my bad."
"Don't worry about it." He said. "Let's just get him the hell away from here."
"Let's get this over, please." Fudge said in the distance as we got Buckbeak away.
"All right." Dumbledore said.
"But where is it?" Fudge said. "I saw the beast, just now. Not a moment ago!"
"How extraordinary." Dumbeldore said.
"Hagrid?"
"I don't think the minister's suggesting you had anything to do with this. How could you? You've been with us all the time.
"Right. Well, Well. we must search the grounds."
"Well, search the skies, if you must, minister. Meanwhile, I'd like a nice cup of tea or a large brany. Oh, executioner, your services are no longer required."
We heard the slam of Walden's axe, but this time, we knew he didn't kill Buckbeak. In the meanwhile, we waited until the moment past us walked into the Shack. To pass the time, Y/N and I were talking to each other and Lana and Harry were just laying down. Buckbeak sat down next to us as I cuddled next to Y/N as he wrapped his arm around me.
"Hey, Y/N?" I asked him. "I have something to ask you."
"Yeah, 'Mione?" He said.
"Those dates we had... at Hogsmeade," I said. "I was wondering, do you think we could do those more often after this year?"
"Of course!" He said with a smile. "I loved our dates, I'll never forget them. I'll never forget where we adopted Snuffles."
I smiled a little. I loved our little baby Niffler with all my heart.
"Oh wait..." I said. "We are his parents, how would he understand that we... don't live together..."
His smile sunk a little as he imagined the Niffler's look in his head. "I-I don't know. How are we going to tell him? He's really gonna miss you."
I grabbed his hand with mine and looked at him. "We'll figure something out. Maybe we visit each other in the summer? You come and stay at my place for a bit, then I do the same?"
"That could work." He said. "I would love to get to meet your parents."
"I bet they would love to get to know you." I said as I kissed his cheek.
"Hey guys," Lana said. "There's something I don't understand. There were a lot of Dementors, how did they go away? It's all too fuzzy, but I saw four Patroni."
"But who conjured it?" Harry asked.
"Did you see who it was?" I asked.
"I only recognized two of them." Lana said. "Because they were our patronuses. Y/N's wolf and my eagle."
"Wait, what?" Y/N said. "We cast two of the four? What were the other two?"
Before she could answer, I spotted us coming out of the Shack. "Here we come!" We all stood up and Buckbeak rose from his feet.
Harry was about to move as he looked up at the moon.
"Harry," Y/N said. "We've got to stay put. There's nothing we can do."
"So we're just going to let Pettigrew escape all over again."
"How do you expect to find a rat in the dark!" I snapped. "There's nothing we can do! We came back to help Sirius; we're not supposed to do anything else."
"All right!"
From our view, I saw Y/N leave with Lana to talk to Sirius and Lupin freezing in place, slowly turning into a werewolf.
"There goes Lupin." I said. "He's transforming."
"Guys!" Harry said. "We've got to move!"
"We can't, Harry!" Lana said. "We keep telling you --"
"Not to interfere!" He said. "Lupin's going to run right at us!"
He was right, Lupin was charging at us, well past us and there was only one thing I thought of.
I put my hands to my mouth and howled like a wolf, which seemed to get his attention.
"What are you doing?" Harry said.
"Saving our lives!" I replied.
"Great!" He said. "Now he's coming for us!"
"Yeah, I didn't think about that." I said. "Run!"
"You guys go!" Lana said. "Y/N and I will distract Remus. Meet us at the lake!" She went down to the ground on one knee and changed into an eagle, while Y/N did that same to become a wolf and jumped at Lupin while Lana knocked him on the head with her beak.
Lana POV
As Hermione and Harry ran to the lake, we continued to distract him as Y/N was barking at him and I knocked his head. It was pedious, but Remus was stronger as a werewolf, and he grabbed my leg and threw me to the ground and kicked Y/N.
We both turned back into humans at the moment as Lupin snarled and walked towards us menacingly. "Remus, it's us!" Y/N said in a last ditch effort. "Your godchildren! You know us! You care for us!"
Lupin looked closely at us and eyed us. He grunted, shaking his head as if he was fighting and looked back at us. He pulled us by the arms and raised us up.
"He was in there somewhere." I said in relief. "He just needed to know who it was."
Before Lupin could do anything else, Buckbeak ran into him and knocked him out.
'Are you okay?' Beaky said in our heads.
"Well, we are now, Beaky." I said to him. "He wasn't gonna hurt us."
"We should get to the lake." Y/N said. "Harry and Hermione must be waiting for us."
Moments later, we made it to the lake before the Dementors arrived and where Sirius laid. As Hermione laid her eyes on us, she ran up to us and hugged us tight. After she let go, she looked in Y/N's eyes and hugged him tighter than she did with both of us.
"Are you okay?" She asked. "Are you both okay?"
"Few scratches," Y/N said. "But we'll be fine. Have we come here yet?"
"Not yet." Harry said. "But I reckon we'll be there soon enough."
Soon enough we were. They must have figured out some clues at the least to repeat what we would later do. And just as we did, the Dementors arrived.
They floated down to us like I remembered and for some reason, Harry kept believing his father would be here too. Y/N was talking to Hermione about how to perform the charm correctly since she struggled with it.
"But what if it happened again?" She said. "If I collapse again?"
"It won't." He said. "I'm here with you, 'Mione. Just think of your happiest moments. It can be anything. And I'll be here with you."
Over the years, I noticed how closer they got, especially this year since they had their first kiss. Hopefully, they'll confess to each other sooner or later.
"You lot ready?" I asked as the Dementors got closer.
"Yeah." Y/N said. " Mione, you ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be." She said.
Harry walked up before us and shouted, "EXPECTO PATRONUM!"
"Expecto Patronum!"
"Expecto Patronum!"
"Expecto Patronum!"
We all shouted after Harry as a stag floated down first. A wolf followed the stag, an eagle and an otter, which was Hermione's patronus. The Dementors fled away as our Patronuses lingered for moments. Snape came down and took our bodies to the hospital wing. After he did, Y/N turned to Hermione and hugged her. "You did it! Perfectly!"
She giggled as he hugged her. "Yeah, I guess it did!"
As he let go, we followed him with Buckbeak for the right spot to get Sirius. As we did, I nudged Hermione. "So what did you think of?" I whispered and asked.
She blushed and looked at my brother. "I had a lot of happy memories." She whispered. "But the moments with Y/N... those were the happiest I've ever been. I chose our first kiss together at Hogsmeade. That's when I realized I'm in love with him."
"Well, I'll tell you what." I said. "You and him are so cute together. You are literally perfect for each other."
"Alright, Buckbeak's ready." Y/N said. "Time to fly, Beaky."
"I'll fly after you guys." I said. "Hermione and Harry and you will get on Buckbeak."
"Sounds good." He said.
"Lana!" Hermione said as Harry climbed on and Y/N went after. "I'm afraid of heights!"
"That's why you're going to hold to Y/N!" I said. "Don't worry, he's there." Hermione gulped and let out, "Fine. But only cause it's Y/N."
She stood next to Buckbeak and Y/N helped her climb on into the Hippogriff. She wrapped her arms tightly around his waist and held on for dear life.
"Hey, 'Mione, you okay?" Y/N asked. "You're holding on me really tight."
"Sorry, just afraid of heights." She said as I prepared and turned into an eagle. "Never got over it. I can loosen my arms if you want?"
"Oh, no, It's okay." He assured her. "If you feel comfortable holding on, that's okay."
She held onto him with a smile on her face. Y/N smiled as well and began to nudge Buckbeak on his sides and the Hippogriff took flight as I flew after them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eventually Buckbeak and I landed at Flitwick's office. Harry, Hermione and Y/N dismounted Buckbeak while I turned back into a human. We all made our way towards the cell Sirius was in, and once he saw us, he asked, "What are you doing here?" He asked.
"Isn't it obvious, Uncle Sirius?" Y/N said. "We're rescuing you of course. Hermione, Lana, would you like to do the honors?"
"Oh yes." I said as I withdrew my wand as Hermione did the same. "Bombarda!"
The bars exploded and Sirius was free from his cell. "Come on!" Harry said. "There's not much time. You've got to get out of here -- the Dementors are coming -- Macnair's gone to get them."
We flew up to the West Tower, which would be the highest tower that they could fly from.
"You better go quick, Sirius." I said. "Macnair will probably reach that office any moment."
"What happened to that other boy?" He asked. "Ron, was it?"
"He's gonna be okay." Harry said. "He's still out of it, but Madam Pomfrey says she'll be able to make him better. Quick - go!"
"How can I ever thank --"
"JUST GO!" We all shouted.
Black turned Buckbeak around but still looked at us.
"We'll see each other again," He said. "You are truly your father's son, Harry. And Y/N, Lana? You are definitely my cousin's and Langden's children. Tell your mother I said hello."
He positioned Buckbeak and his wings rose into the air. Buckbeak made a running start and flew off into the night sky. And they were going, going, gone.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We ran back to the hospital wing, where our past selves were getting ready to travel and Dumbledore locked us in. And we seemed to have made it just in time.
Dumbledore looked unfazed as he saw us outside. "Well?" He asked.
"He's free." Harry said. "We did it."
"Did what?" Dumbledore asked before he smiled and waved. "Good night."
"That man's crazy." Y/N said. "I love it."
We entered through the doors where Ron was now there as he had seen us travel. "How did you get there?" He asked wildly. "I just saw you four here... and now you're there."
"What's he talking about, guys?" Hermione asked.
"I don't know." Harry smiled as he shrugged his shoulders.
"Honestly Ron, how can someone be in two places at once?" I asked.
"Maybe the Wrackspurts took over your head?" Y/N said as he grinned.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Y/N POV
A couple of weeks later, the end of our third year came around, but it didn't come with the best of things. Lupin had to resign since Snape revealed that he was a werewolf and parents would soon send owls about him teaching us. However, Remus said he would stop by our place to visit more.
Along with that, Newt and Tina surprised us by saying that they would be staying around to continue teaching us, so that was a plus. Hermione and I did speak with Snuffles, as weird as it sounded, but we were his parents, so it made sense, I suppose? Snuffles did say in his head that he would miss Hermione a lot, but hopefully her parents would allow me to visit.
As we were ready to leave Hogwarts, Hermione told us some good news.
"I went to see Professor McGonagall this morning, just before breakfast." She said. "I've decided to drop those other subjects."
"That's good!" I said. "You don't have to stress yourself out so much."
"Oh, and it's the Quidditch World Cup this summer!" Ron said. "How about it, Harry? Come and stay, and we'll go and see it! Dad can usually get tickets from work. You three too!"
"Sounds good with us." Lana said.
"I can stay at Y/N and Lana's place before the match." Hermione said. "That is, if my parents let me."
"Yeah... I bet the Dursleys'd be pleased to let me come... especially after what I did to Aunt Marge..."
As we boarded the train, we did our usual things, played some games, played with our pets, talked with Luna, Ginny, Fred and George and Neville when they stopped by. Snuffles was sleeping in Hermione's arms since he knew it would be the last time he would be with her for a while.
"Hey, Harry," Hermione said. "What's that thing outside your window?" He looked outside and opened the window and let something in, which was an owl with a letter. He took the letter and saw who it was from. "It's from Sirius!"
"Read it aloud!" Lana and I said.
Dear Harry,
I hope this finds you before you reach your aunt and uncle. I don't know whether they're used to owl post.
Buckbeak and I are in hiding. I won't tell you where, in case this owl falls into the wrong hands. I have some doubt about his reliability, but he is the best I could find, and he did seem eager for the job.
I believe the Dementors are still searching for me, but they haven't a hope of finding me here. I am planning to allow some Muggles to glimpse me soon, a long way from Hogwarts, so that the security on the castle will be lifted.
There is something I never got around to telling you during our brief meeting. It was I who sent you the Firebolt -
"Haha!" Hermione said. "See! We told you it was from him!"
- Crookshanks took the order to the Owl Office for me. I used your name but told them to take the gold from my own Gringotts vault. Please consider it as thirteen birthdays' worth of presents from your godfather. I'm still looking for some for my nephew and niece as well.
"Oh, he doesn't know what we like." Lana said. "It's fine though, we'll see him."
I would also like to apologize for the fright I think I gave you that night last year when you left your uncle's house.
I had only hoped to get a glimpse of you before starting my journey north, but I think the sight of me alarmed you.
I am enclosing something else for you, which I think will make your next year at Hogwarts more enjoyable.
If ever you need me, send word. Your owl will find me.
I'll write again soon.
Sirius
Harry had looked in the envelope, finding a slip of paper saying,
I, Sirius Black, Harry Potter's godfather, hereby give him permission to visit Hogsmeade on weekends.
"That's good enough for Dumbledore!" Harry exclaimed happily. "Hang on, there's a PS..."
I thought your friend Ron might like to keep this owl, as it's my fault he no longer has a rat.
Ron smiled as he took the owl and stroked it. Hermione's head fell onto my shoulders and she had fallen asleep, just as she always does. I smiled and let her sleep until I fell asleep too.
For what seemed like a few moments later, I woke up to see Lana in front of me. "Hey, bro. We're here." She said. "You might want to wake Hermione up."
I looked at her sleeping peacefully and kissed her temple. "Hey, Belle." I said softly. "We're here."
She slowly opened her eyes and Snuffles had woken up too. "Hey..." She said softly. "Wait, did you just call me beautiful in French?"
"Yeah?" I said with a smile. "So what if I think you are?"
She blushed hard and playfully punched me. "You adorable prat."
We left the train with our things in hand while Hermione pulled me to two people we knew. "Hey, Mum, Dad." She greeted them. "This is Y/N Lovegood, the boy I told you about and he wrote a letter to you too?"
"Oh, yes." Hermione's Mum said as she shook my hand. "It's so nice to meet you in person, Y/N. I'm Hermione's mother, but you can call me Monica. This is my husband, Wendell."
"Nice to meet you." Wendell said with a smile as he also shook his hand. "Hermione has talked about you a lot."
I blushed a little as Hermione said, "Dad!"
"All good things, I hope." I said. Her dad was a little intimidating, to be honest. Kids must really listen to their dentist for flossing regularly.
"Oh, they were nothing but good!" Wendell said. "She told us about your first and second year, you've always been there for her. That's good in my book."
"Thank you, sir." I said. "My sister, Lana and I were always there for her. Hermione is an amazing person, I'm so glad to know her."
'Oh, you're too sweet, Y/N." Hermione said with a blush. "Oh, Mum? We had something to ask you."
"What is it, sweetheart?"
"Earlier in October, 'Mione and I found a Niffler at Hogsmeade." I said as Snuffles came in my hands, which Monica fawned over and Wendell stroked his fur. "We've both carried for Snuffles like we were his parents and we were thinking if we could visit Hermione and she could visit us? If that's okay with you both?"
"Oh, of course you can!" Monica said with a smile. "He is so adorable. Just let us know when you'd like to come around."
"We look forward to seeing you soon, Y/N." Wendell said as he shook my hand again.
"Oh, Mum, dad?" Hermione said. "Do you mind if I can say goodbye to Y/N and my friends?"
"Of course, dear."
"It was nice meeting you both!" I said politely as we went back to Lana, Ron, Harry and Luna.
"I'll call about the World Cup!" Ron said before he left with his siblings. Soon enough, the Dursleys came along to take Harry back. Vernon looked down at the sheet in Harry's hand and said, "What's that? If it's another form for me to sign, you've got another--"
"It's not," Harry said with a smile. "It's a letter from my godfather."
"Godfather?" Vernon spat. "You haven't got a godfather."
"Yes, I have." Harry said. "He was my mum and dad's best friend and my best friend's uncle. He's a convicted murderer, but he's broken out of wizard prison and he's on the run. He likes to keep in touch with me, though.. Keep up with my news... check if I'm happy..."
Vernon suddenly looked scared as Harry smirked. "Oh, and my god cousins, is it, are the grandchildren of a very powerful wizard. You remember them, you broke his foot."
Vernon looked at me and Lana and still continued to be scared. "Oh, yeah, Hello." I said as our eyes flickered. "Don't try anything with Harry. We'll know."
Vernon still looked horrified as Harry left and waved to us. Soon it was just us, Luna and Hermione. She hugged Lana, Luna and me and said, "I'm gonna miss you all so much." She still held onto me as Snuffles popped out and whimpered. "Oh, I know you'll miss Mummy, Snuffles." She said. "You'll see me soon. Mummy's gonna miss you too." She gave him a tiny peck on his head as she looked up at me.
"I'm gonna miss you so much, Y/N." She said as she put her at my cheek. "I'll see you soon." Before she left with her parents, she kissed my cheek and hugged me again.
"So, just us again." Lana said as the three of us sat down with Luna in between. "How was your second year, Luna?"
"Good, I'd say." She said. "Cho's a very nice person. Does Harry fancy her?"
"Oh, I bet he does, Lu." I said to her. "I'm definitely gonna egg him about that next year, as long as it's not as crazy."
"Oh, speaking of which," Lana said. 'Y/N, wanna tell Luna about your first kiss with Hermione?"
"Lana!" I said as Luna smiled. "Fine, I'll tell Luna, she's like our little sister anyway."
