AN: New chapter, but I really need you guys to read this authors note.

PLEASE READ: Throughout my stories, I do portray a negative representation of the Marauders, Sirius and Remus mainly, but before I get more hate about this, I would just like to clarify, that in J.K Rowling's works, I love the Marauders, but yet when I am writing fanfiction, I find myself physically unable to write the Marauders well enough to write them at least slightly close to the regular characters. When I start writing new fanfictions, I will try and make the Marauders more pleasant, and at least within character as I have been people watching,trying to work out how men function. Thanks.

Please read and review, and if you like it, recommend it to a friend, maybe?

Chapter ten Harry's Pov

I had just been to visit Hagrid by myself as it had been a while since I had seen him and when I got there he was crying. I had no idea why. I knocked on the door and he let me in.

" Hagrid what's the matter?"

" Do you remember I told ya about the hearing in London?"

" Yeah because of Malfoy's dad."

" Well he talked to them and I tried telling them all the dates I looked up but I kept getting nervous."

" Then what happened?"

" Malfoy stood up and started talking saying Buckbeak is a vicious cruel creature who would kill ya as soon as you looked at him."

" That's not true!"

" I know that and you know that but they ate it up."

" He's bribing them isn't he?"

" That's my bet."

" Can't Dumbledore speak to them?"

" Dumbledores done enough."

" Where is Buckbeak?"

" Outside."

" Can I go and see him?"

" Yeah just walk straight back in."

" Okay Hagrid."

I walked outside and looked and saw Buckbeak sitting in the pumpkin patch. His stormy feathers ruffled in the light breeze. His golden eyes were staring at one of the dead ferrets greedily.

I walked over and bowed to him. He looked at me before bowing his feathered head. I approached and untied a ferret and passed it to him who gulped it down hungrily. I walked up to him and sat down on the ground. I began stroking his feathers.

" Your a beautiful hippogriff you know that?" I asked him.

He snorted.

" I wish there was a way I could save you."

He sighed.

" I will try and think of a way to save you."

He blinked at me.

" Do you think I could pay Malfoy into not killing you."

Buckbeak snorted.

" I know. He already has so much money that it will never work."

Buckbeak butted his beak against my hand. I began stroking his beak.

" I will think up an idea Buckbeak."

He looked hopeful for a hippogriff.

I carried on stroking his feathers. They were smooth and he must have groomed himself a lot. I petted his beak with the other hand. Hesitantly I leant back against Buckbeak but he didn't seem to mind.

" Don't you worry Beaky."

He nuzzled his beak to the side of my face.

" There has to be a way to save you."

He nuzzled me again.

" If I have the will there has to be a way. I know it."

I sighed stroking his feathers.

I curled up into his side stroking his feathers and whispering to Buckbeak. I began to cry into his side at the thought of him dying. Eventually I fell asleep against Buckbeak.

Georges Pov

" Hey Hermione where's Harry?"

" Oh hi George he went to Hagrid's."

" How long ago?"

" Six hours ago."

" Merlin I'm off to find him."

" Alrighty."

I ran from the common room and down the corridors. Down the slope to Hagrids and knocked on the door. I could hear Hagrids thundering snores and I knew he wouldn't hear me. I looked in through the window and saw that Hagrid was alone in their asleep in a chair.

" Squark!"

I looked around to see a Hippogriff in the pumpkin patch all tied up. I smiled at it before turning away wondering where on earth Harry was.

" Squark!"

I turned around again. What did it want? I turned away.

" Squark!"

Was it trying to get me to go to it? I stared at it in its eyes and bowed. His head lowered and I approached him. He turned to face his side. I walked closer to see what he was looking at and I saw Harry was curled up in his side with dired tears on his face.

" Harry?" I whispered.

He stirred slightly but moved closer to the hippogriff.

" Harry?"

I walked up and picked him up.

" Smart hippogriff." I said.

" Squark."

" Thanks for looking after him for me."

" Squark."

" We'll come and visit you."

" Squark."

" Bye."

I cradled Harry to my chest as he sniffled in sleep. I stroked his hair. What had upset him? What had happened? Also how on earth did he end up falling asleep against a hippogriff outside Hagrid's hut. I carried him to the common room and sat down on the sofa with him holding him. He lay his head on my shoulder still asleep.

" Where was he?" Fred asked.

" Asleep against a hippogriff."

" A hippogriff?" He asked.

" Buckbeak." Hermione added.

" How do you know?"

" We met him in our care of magical creatures class."

" When?"

" First term."

" Oh."

" Have any idea why he might have been crying against Buckbeak?" I asked.

She closed her book and looked sad.

" Malfoy baited him and he scratched his arm even after Hagrid specifically said not to insult them. Malfoys dad was furious. He ordered the department of control and regulations for magical creatures to kill him."

" Buckbeak's going to die?" I asked.

" Yeah there's the appeal however it won't go well as they're in Malfoys pocket."

" Oh."

Harry snuffled in sleep before opening his eyes and blinking.

" Georgie? How'd I get here? I was talking to Buckbeak."

" You fell asleep."

" Oh."

" Are you okay Harry?" I asked.

" Yeah I need to do something be right back."

Harry ran up to his dorms but didn't come back down and an hour later I decided to go and see why. Ron was lounging on his own bed flicking through a book that I recognised as flying with the cannons.

" What?" He asked.

" Seen Harry?"

" He went in there and closed his curtains and I heard him muttering to himself a few times."

" Alright thanks."

" No problem."

" Harry?" I asked approaching the curtains.

" One minute."

" What are you up to?"

" Nothing."

He came out looking tired.

" Harry you okay?"

" Just looking for something."

" Did you find it?"

" Not yet."

" Don't give up."

" I won't I need to speak to Dumbledore."

" Want me to come with you?"

" No go and spend some time with Fred pull a prank on someone."

" Will do. See you later."

" Bye." He said before running.

" Things just keep getting weirder and weirder." I muttered to myself.

" Too right." Ron called.

" Damn forgot you were there."

" Thanks."

I left the dorm and Fred and I ran off to find Lee and pull him from his homework and persuaded him to join us in a prank, however we couldn't find him.

Harry's Pov

" Cola bottles?"

" Bertie botts?"

" Liquoirce wands?"

" Droobles best chewing gum?"

" Jelly slugs?"

" Cockroach clusters?"

" Blood pops?"

" Flossing string mints?"

The gargoyle moved out of the way. I smiled and walked up the stairs before knocking on the door.

" Come in."

I walked in and Professor Dumbledore was sat at his desk.

" Ah Harry."

" Hello sir."

" Sherbet Lemon?"

" Thank you." I said taking one.

" Well that is a nice surprise you are the first person to take one in your first year and even in third year you do."

" They're nice Sir."

" I know but I have yet to find many who agree."

" Sad really."

" Rather. Now what can I do for you today Mr Potter?"

" I had an idea to save Buckbeak."

" Ah now what is this idea of yours?"

" Well I am unsure whether it would class as bad magic though sir."

" Oh what is it?"

" If I make a sort of gollum of Buckbeak and make it look as if he died of natural causes and free the real Buckbeak would that be?"

" No not officially I don't think." He said stroking his beard.

" I just thought..."

" No Mr Potter is a good plan."

" Will it be possible?"

" It should be."

" What about Hagrid would we tell him the truth?"

" Ah now that is a difficult decision."

" Yes sir. I think it would be best to tell him however would it be best to let him think he is dead for a while and then when the executioners and everyone leave take him to see the real Buckbeak?"

" Now that Mr Potter is a smart plan."

" Thank you Sir."

" I will think it over. Now before you go do take a handful of lemon drops."

" Thanks sir." I said taking a handful.

" Bye Harry."

" Bye sir."

I left the room happily eating my lemon drops. I made my way back to the common room. I caught a glimpse of a black tail out of the corner of my eye. It was then that I realised it was actually just the prefects cat from Ravenclaw. I inwardly shouted at myself for being a scaredy cat before setting off back to the common room.

" Hey Harry."

" Hi Hermione what are you up to?"

" Not much you?"

" Just went to see Dumbledore."

" What about?"

" Buckbeak."

" What about him?"

" I'm not sure whether I'm supposed to tell you as I spoke to Dumbledore but he never said whether I could tell anyone."

" Are you going to tell George?"

" No way he gets all weird when I do stuff like seeing most of Hagrid's animals."

" Its because he loves you Harry."

" Yeah but I still don't really get why..."

" When you were growing up with your family when they got protective of you and made sure you didn't hurt yourself..."

I blinked. I had forgotten Hermione didn't know.

" Harry?"

" Harry?"

" Harry are you okay?"

" I don't get what you're talking about."

" You live with your Aunt and Uncle don't you."

" Lived. Past tense."

" Why?"

No I couldn't tell her. I had only really told people when there was a reason behind it. Percy because he was worried I would never warm up to his Dad. George had found out through the mixing of memories. Fred was told by George and Dumbledore knew by himself.

" Harry?"

" Harry?"

" Harry?"

" HARRY?!"

I couldn't. There was no way. My mind whirled back and I remembered. Each bit of pain. Each hit. Each push. Each punch. Even the ones when I was older than eight. When I was nine. When I was ten. When I had just reached eleven. However only the bad memories came. No good ones I had been told about. Only bad.

Hermione's Pov

We were talking about his family and he froze up but I had no idea why.

" Harry?"

" Harry?"

" Harry?"

" HARRY?!"

When he started shaking and stopped responding to me when I started talking I started panicking. I had no idea where George was or Fred or Lee so I ran for Percy.

" PERCY!" I shouted banging on his door.

" Hermione what is it?"

" Its Harry you need to come."

He ran out after me. We got back to the common room where Harry had curled into a ball and was crying. He had his arms over his head as if protecting them and was shaking.

" Harry." Percy whispered.

He continued to cry.

" Harry." Percy said.

Percy picked him up causing people to stare and Harry to cry harder.

" Hermione look for the twins. I am taking Harry to my dorm tell them we will be there."

" Okay Percy."

Percy's Pov

I picked him up and told Hermione we would be in my dorms. Oliver looked at me terrified when he saw how Harry was reacting. He ran over.

" Is he okay?"

" No I don't think so."

" Shall I leave?"

" It might make it easier."

" Alright."

I sat back on my bed cradling Harry to my chest. I rocked him from side to side as he shivered and cried. He wouldn't stop and I couldn't get him to speak. He just sobbed into my chest grabbing my t-shirt.

" I want Georgie." He whispered.

" He's coming Harry. Hermione's gone to get him." I told him.

" I want Georgie." He whispered.

" I know Harry. I know."

He continued to cry.

Hermione's Pov

Where were they? I looked in the kitchens and they weren't there. I looked in the hall and they weren't there. Nor were they in the grounds that I could see. Not in the classrooms and I had looked in everyone. Not in any of the bathrooms. Not at the astronomy tower. Not anywhere.

In the end I ran back to Gryffindor tower and yet they weren't there either. I ran to Percy's dorm where he was trying to comfort Harry as best as he could. Harry still hadn't stopped crying and I had been gone an hour.

" Any sign of them?"

" No where and I've looked everywhere."

" Harry needs George badly."

" I don't know but I know something that might help slightly."

" Go ahead." Percy said.

I ran from Percy's dorms and into Fred and Georges and grabbed Liam. He was sat where he normally was on Georges bedside table. I ran up to Percys room with it.

" Harry?"

" 'Mione?"

" Yeah look I have something for you."

He was still crying as he turned to face me.

" Liam." He croaked.

" That's right."

I passed him Liam and he hugged him to his chest crying into Liam's head. For hours Percy and I sat there trying to reassure Harry with no luck until he ran out of tears and just stayed curled into a protective ball clutching Liam to his chest.

" Georgie?" He asked.

" Not yet Harry."

" Okay."
