A/N: Okay, I'm gonna try this again. My second HP fanfic, except this one is a one-shot. This scene is probably my favorite Harmony scene out of all the HP movies!

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. Why would I be on this site if I did?

Harry's POV

We were running. That's all we could really do. Run away from the danger we brought ourselves into. Well, not to point any fingers, but the danger Dumbledore got us into. I know we had to do this, but I mean, I could have just taken the time-turner from Hermione and went by myself. This was my problem, after all. But too late now. She's here, she saved my past life, and now we're running for both our present lives.

All the while, I'm holding her hand, dragging her with me to some place safe. Some place away from Lupin. Anywhere I can keep her out of harm's way.

But sometimes, I find her taking me somewhere safe. She'd be in front of me, making sure I don't trip or leave her side. Whenever I might lose my grip on her hand, she'll tighten it. Every turn we make, she looks back at me to be positive Lupin hasn't caught up to us.

Now, I'm in front of her, pulling us both behind a tree as Lupin comes behind us. I don't think he's seen us yet, but he's close enough so that I could here him breathing. I feel Hermione shivering. I try to hold my breath and make the least amount of sound as possible as we inch around the tree. We wait for a few seconds until I hear what must be Lupin passing by us. Taking a chance, we both step halfway out of our hiding place as Hermione went in front of me.

Wrong move.

Lupin wasn't gone. In fact, he had gotten closer to us. Much, much closer. He growled as he moved toward us, gnashing his teeth together in complete hatred. I couldn't blame him for his actions. He didn't know what he was doing, after all. But that didn't change the fact that he was terrifying, about to kill us, and Hermione was in front of me.

Uh oh. She's in front of me! Lupin would kill her first! No, she can't die! Not after everything I've gotten her into! Just now am I realizing how many times she's saved my life. I can't let this happen to her after all of that!

The next thing I know, I'm pulling her back toward me, forcing her to turn around. I use my body as a shield, protecting her from the monster that would never reach her. I wouldn't let it happen. Then, I hear a raspy screeching sound coming from behind. I glance behind me to see Buckbeak kicking at Lupin. Lupin attempts to fight back, clawing and biting and snapping his teeth, but immediately surrenders once he realizes he has no chance. Whimpering, he ran away from us, deeper into the woods, howling with pain.

I looked up to see Buckbeak staring back at us, and if hippogriffs could smile(in his case, triumphantly), I swear he just did.

I give Hermione a chance to get back to a standing position, but I never let go of her. The second she balanced herself, she embraced me in a bone-crushing hug. I hugged her back.

"That was so scary." she whispered in my ear, which made me hug her tighter. She's shaking, pale, and I can really feel her heart beating. That might just be mine, though.

"Poor professor Lupin's having a really tough night." I say. What? Someone's got to break the tension.

A/N: Was there anything I should have added to this? And if you want me to add Hermione's POV, please review! Or if you don't want me to, review anyway! No flames, it's just a one-shot, and thanks for reading!
