Book recommended of the week 1-800-where-r-you!
Harry was a mess we could all see it. He didn't say one word as me made our long journey back to Hogwarts. I could still see the tears etched on his cheeks and I couldn't find anything to say to him and I am sure he just wanted to get away from everyone as fast as he could.
When we made it back we went to the Great Hall. You could see that Hermione and Ron wanted to say something but I gave them the Say-anything-and-I-will-hurt-you stare.
When we got back up the common room he was a mess and he was trying to avoid Fred and George's question so I saw he sneak away to his dorm. As soon as he was gone Hermione, Ron, and I gathered together.
"What are we going to do 'bout Harry?" Ron asked.
"Am not sure, he's a mess and I think we should just let it sink in." Hermione said.
"You don't think he will do anything dangerous do you?" I finally asked the question I thought as soon as I heard what the Professors had to say.
"As in go after Black?" Ron asked.
"Don't be ridiculous Ron, Harry would never do anything like that…" you could see a bit of doubt in her eyes though.
"Hermione what would you do in his position? Or Ron what if it was Mum and Dad?" I questioned trying to get my point across.
"I-I don't know." You could see her going over the pros and cons in her head.
"I would kill him." Ron said simply.
"So would I. It's not like I want him to do it though, I will do anything in my power to stop him but if he does decided to…."
"If he does decide to we won't be able to stop him. He's just as stubborn as you are Iz." Ron finished.
"Exactly." I said then I slapped him arm. "And am not stubborn." I stated matter-of-factly.
"Sure you're not" he muttered rubbing his arm.
"Well am off to bed, tomorrow we'll just have to hear Harry out okay?"
"Sure." Ron said
Hermonie didn't answer she was still thinking. I just shook my head and walked up to the bed.
~*~
I woke up early, got dressed and just sat in the common room just watching as the people who were leaving for the holiday were gathering there items up.
Mostly everyone was leaving except a few including Ron, Hermione, Harry, I and the Cullen's. I haven't spoken to anyone since I have been back but I was sure they knew it was me now. I felt horrible for ignoring Alice, Emmett, and Jasper, they never did anything to hurt me, well jasper tried but it was own fault so it doesn't count. I mean I know they all left me but I am sure Mr. I did it to protect you, but them up to it.
Hermione and Ron joined me after a good ten minutes all dressed for the day. We let Harry sleep in and we went to breakfast. When we were done we came back up and Ron and I played Wizard Chess while Hermione got a "jump" start on her homework.
When Ron crushed me I went over to Hermione and looked at her books she was in so many extra classes that it was unbelievable she could be in all of theses and go to ever class.
"'mione how can you be in divination and Arithmancy there at the same time?" I asked in shock.
"What are you talking about izzy? You can't be in two places at once." She said gently checking her collar. I was about to question it when I saw Harry come down the stairs.
"Harry, you — you look terrible." Hermione gasped
He looked liked he hadn't gone to bed till late or the early morning.
"Where is everyone?" said Harry.
"Gone! It's the first day of the holidays, remember?" said Ron, watching Harry closely. "It's nearly lunchtime; I was going to come and wake you up in a minute."
Harry slumped into a chair next to the fire. Snow was still falling outside the windows. Crookshanks was spread out in front of the fire like a large, ginger rug.
"You really don't look well, you know," Hermione said, peering anxiously into his face.
"I'm fine," said Harry.
"Harry, listen," said Hermione, exchanging a look with me, "you must be really upset about what we heard yesterday. But the thing is you mustn't go doing anything stupid." I knew 'mione could chill for a minute she had to get right down to it as soon as possible.
"Like what?" said Harry.
"Like trying to go after Black," said Ron sharply.
Harry knew we discussed this and rehearsed this while he was still sleeping.
"You won't, will you, Harry?" I asked him calmly
"Because Black's not worth dying for," said Ron.
Harry looked at like we had no idea how wrong Ron was. That he would die trying to kill Black if it meant taking Black out with him.
"D'you know what I see and hear every time a Dementor gets too near me?" he looked directly at Ron and Hermione. They both shook their head "no."
"I hear my mom trying to protect me from Voldemort and getting herself killed in the process. That's not something you forget easily and if you found out someone who was supposed to be a friend of hers betrayed her and sent Voldemort after her —"
"There's nothing you can do!" said Hermione, looking stricken. "The Dementors will catch Black and he'll go back to Azkaban and — and serve him right!"
"You heard what Fudge said. Black isn't affected by Azkaban like normal people are. It's not a punishment for him like it is for the others."
"So what are you saying?" Ron said. "You want to — to kill Black or something?"
"Don't be silly," said Hermione in a panicky voice. "Harry doesn't want to kill anyone, do you, Harry?"
Again, Harry didn't answer.
"Harry I know what you want to do. I know that the idea of doing nothing is hard to stand knowing that Black is out there free." I finally said.
He looked at me as though I just read his mind but quickly changed his expression to confuse so no one noticed it.
"Izzy, you just don't get it he betrayed my parents and got them killed by Voldemort. I was there-"
"And I wasn't? I was there too Harry."
HPOV:
"And I wasn't? I was there to Harry." Izzy said calmly but you could hear the aggravation in it.
"I know that! I can hear her screaming and trying to help us-" again she cut me off.
"And I don't? I. Was. There. Too. Harry." She said looking at me in disbelief. Don't you hate it when you forget something and then after making an ass out of yourself you remember it? Yeah that's when I remembered what Lupin told me. I felt like the biggest idiot! I just forgot because of everything that has happened in the last 24 hours.
"Izzy am so sorry I just haven't been thinking straight." I told her honestly.
"I know and I don't blame you just don't forget you don't have to do everything alone we-she gestured to Ron, Hermione and herself- are always here for you." She said with a smile that melted my heart.
It still didn't change my mind on what I was going to have to do.
"Malfoy knows," I said abruptly. "Remember what he said to me in Potions? 'If it was me, I'd hunt him down myself…I'd want revenge.'"
"You're going to take Malfoy's advice instead of ours?" said Ron furiously. "Listen…you know what Pettigrew's mother got back after Black had finished with him? Dad told me — the Order of Merlin, First Class, and Pettigrew's finger in a box. That was the biggest bit of him they could find. Black's a madman, Harry, and he's dangerous —"
"Malfoy's dad must have told him," I said, ignoring Ron. "He was right in Voldemort's inner circle —"
"Say You-Know-Who, will you?" interjected Ron angrily.
"— so obviously, the Malfoy's knew Black was working for Voldemort —"
"— and Malfoy'd love to see you blown into about a million pieces, like Pettigrew! Get a grip. Malfoy's just hoping you'll get yourself killed before he has to play you at Quidditch."
"Harry, please," said Hermione, her eyes now shining with tears, "Please be sensible. Black did a terrible, terrible thing, but d-don't put yourself in danger, it's what Black wants…Oh, Harry, you'd be playing right into Black's hands if you went looking for him. Your mum and dad wouldn't want you to get hurt, would they? They'd never want you to go looking for Black!"
"I'll never know what they'd have wanted, because thanks to Black, I've never spoken to them," I said shortly.
There was a silence in which Crookshanks stretched luxuriously flexing his claws. Ron's pocket quivered.
"Look," said Ron, obviously casting around for a change of subject, "it's the holidays! It's nearly Christmas! Let's — let's go down and see Hagrid. We haven't visited him for ages!"
"No!" said Hermione quickly. "Harry isn't supposed to leave the castle, Ron —"
"Yeah, let's go," I said, sitting up, "and I can ask him how come he never mentioned Black when he told me all about my parents!"
Further discussion of Sirius Black plainly wasn't what Ron had had in mind.
"Or we could have a game of chess," he said hastily, "or Gobstones. Percy left a set"
"No, let's visit Hagrid," I said firmly.
(I was going to stop her but……………. I decided to be nice =])
IPOV:
Harry ran up and grabbed his father's invisible cloak. Of course we passed Edward and Alice along the way. Edward was giving me a pleading look and Alice just had a smile that told me she didn't blame me. I could feel Harry stiffen but I reassured him about everything.
We all got under it and made our way down to Hagrid's. When we arrived Ron knocked, but there was no answer.
"He's not out, is he?" said Hermione, who was shivering under her cloak.
Ron had his ear to the door.
"There's a weird noise," he said. "Listen — is that Fang?"
Harry and Hermione and I put their ears to the door too. From inside the cabin came a series of low, throbbing moans.
"Think we'd better go and get someone?" said Ron nervously.
"Hagrid!" called Harry, thumping the door. "Hagrid, are you in there?"
There was a sound of heavy footsteps, and then the door creaked open. Hagrid stood there with his eyes red and swollen, tears splashing down the front of his leather vest.
"You've heard?" he bellowed, and he flung himself onto Harry's neck.
After we saved Harry from being crushed by Hagrid Hermione asked Hagrid what was wrong.
I spotted an official-looking letter lying open on the table.
"What's this, Hagrid?"
Hagrid's sobs redoubled, but he shoved the letter toward me, and I read aloud:
Dear Mr. Hagrid,
Further to our inquiry into the attack by a Hippogriff on a student in your class, we have accepted the assurances of Professor Dumbledore that you bear no responsibility for the regrettable incident.
"Well, that's okay then, Hagrid!" said Ron, clapping Hagrid on the shoulder. But Hagrid continued to sob, and waved one of his gigantic hands, inviting me to read on.
However, we must register our concern about the Hippogriff in question. We have decided to uphold the official complaint of Mr. Lucius Malfoy, and this matter will therefore be taken to the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures. The hearing will take place on April 20th, and we ask you to present yourself and your Hippogriff at the Committee's offices in London on that date. In the meantime, the Hippogriff should be kept tethered and isolated.
Yours in fellowship …
There followed a list of the school governors.
"Oh," said Ron. "But you said Buckbeak isn't a bad Hippogriff, Hagrid. I bet he'll get off."
"Yeh don' know them gargoyles at the Committee fer the Disposal o' Dangerous Creatures!" choked Hagrid, wiping his eyes on his sleeve. "They've got it in fer interestin' creatures!"
We looked at one another. We had never seen eye to eye with Hagrid about what he called 'interesting creatures' and other people called 'terrifying monsters.' On the other hand, there didn't seem to be any particular harm in Buckbeak. In fact, by Hagrid's usual standards, he was positively cute.
"You'll have to put up a good strong defense, Hagrid," said Hermione, sitting down and laying a hand on Hagrid's massive forearm. "I'm sure you can prove Buckbeak is safe."
"Won' make no diff'rence!" sobbed Hagrid. "Them Disposal devils, they're all in Lucius Malfoy's pocket! Scared o' him! Ad if I lose the case, Buckbeak —"
Hagrid drew his finger swiftly across his throat, then gave a great wail and lurched forward, his face in his arms.
"What about Dumbledore, Hagrid?" said Harry.
"He's done more'n enough fer me already," groaned Hagrid. "Got enough on his plate what with keepin' them Dementors outta the castle, an' Sirius Black lurkin' around."
We looked at Harry thinking he was going to exploded on Hagrid. But Harry couldn't bring himself to do it, not now that he saw Hagrid so miserable and scared.
"Listen, Hagrid," he said, "you can't give up. Hermione's right, You just need a good defense. You can call us as witnesses —"
"I'm sure I've read about a case of Hippogriff-baiting," said Hermione thoughtfully, "where the Hippogriff got off. I'll look it up for you, Hagrid, and see exactly what happened."
Hagrid howled still more loudly. Harry and Hermione looked at Ron to help them.
"Yer right." Hagrid finally said "I can' afford to go ter pieces. Gotta pull meself together…"
"I've not bin meself lately," said Hagrid, stroking Fang with one hand and mopping his face with the other. "Worried abou' Buckbeak, an' no one likin' me classes —"
"We do like them!" lied Hermione at once.
"Yeah, they're great!" said Ron, crossing his fingers under the table. "Er — how are the flobberworms?"
"Dead," said Hagrid gloomily. "Too much lettuce."
"Oh no!" said Ron, his lip twitching.
"An' them Dementors make me feel ruddy terrible an' all," said Hagrid, with a sudden shudder. "Gotta walk past 'em ev'ry time I want a drink in the Three Broomsticks. 'S like bein' back in Azkaban —"
"Is it awful in there, Hagrid?" I asked after remembering how Hagrid was sent to Azkaban.
"Yeh've no idea," said Hagrid quietly. "Never bin anywhere like it. Thought I was goin' mad. Kep' goin' over horrible stuff in me mind…the day I got expelled from Hogwarts…day me dad died…day I had ter let Norbert go …"
His eyes filled with tears. Norbert was the baby dragon Hagrid had once won in a game of cards. We were there when Norbert was born he was adorable and we all knew how much Hagrid always wanted his own dragon.
"Yeh can' really remember who yeh are after a while. An' yeh can' really see the point o' livin' at all. I used ter hope I'd jus' die in me sleep. When they let me out, it was like bein' born again, ev'rythin' came floodin' back, it was the bes' feelin' in the world. Mind, the Dementors weren't keen on lettin' me go."
"But you were innocent!" said Hermione.
Hagrid snorted.
"Think that matters to them? They don' care. Long as they've got a couple o' hundred humans stuck there with 'em, so they can leech all the happiness out of 'em, they don' give a damn who's guilty an' who's not."
Hagrid went quiet for a moment, staring into his tea. Then he said quietly, "Thought o' jus' letting Buckbeak go …tryin' ter make him fly away…but how d'yeh explain ter a Hippogriff it's gotta go inter hidin'? An' — an' I'm scared o' breakin' the law…" He looked up at them, tears leaking down his face again. "I don' ever want ter go back ter Azkaban."
