Rose could barely lift her head up.

She could hear familiar voices around her head, speaking, and the tapping away of feet running around on the hard wood floor.

She didn't want to, but she began to slowly open her eyes.

She was in the hospital ward. Again.

She was getting far too familiar with being in the hospital ward.

However, there weren't that many people keeping her company this time. She noticed that there was Hermione, Harry, and Professor Dumbledore in the room. That was all.

"Rose!" Hermione said in relief as she Rose sit up her in bed. Slowly, Rose was beginning to remember what happened.

"Oh my God," Rose said aloud, "We saw Sirius Black!"

Hermione quickly tried to hush Rose. Rose was confused until Harry gestured towards another man- it was Cornelius Fudge.

"Mr. Fudge?" Rose asked.

"Hello Ms. Potter," Cornelius Fudge said shortly, "I'm here to find out where Sirius Black is."

"Harry's already told you," Hermione pleaded, "He's innocent!"

"He was waiting for you to wake up Rose," Harry explained, "To get your testimony."

Rose could feel her heart pounding. Sirius Black was innocent and hadn't betrayed her parents.

That didn't mean she necessarily trusted him or liked him. He had just lived in Azkaban for the past twelve years. She looked at Harry and she knew she had to defend Sirius.

"He's innocent sir." She said to Cornelius Fudge. He shook his head in frustration.

"I don't believe you." Cornelius Fudge said. Professor Dumbledore remained silent.

"You can't take him!" Harry yelled and tried to plead with Cornelius Fudge, "All of us have defended him, sir, me, Rose and Hermione and Ron would've too!"

Cornelius Fudge wouldn't budge. "I'm sorry Mr. Potter," He said in a way that indicated he wasn't that sorry, "But if we find Sirius Black we'll have to take him back to Azkaban."

And just like that Cornelius Fudge walked out of the hospital ward. Rose watched him leave and wondered how anyone could be so cruel and egotistical as Cornelius Fudge.

"No!" Harry screamed suddenly crying out of fear of what would happen to Sirius Black. Professor Dumbledore rushed over to Harry to calm him down.

"I believe you three," Professor Dumbledore said. Harry looked up at him in desperation.

"Professor, there must be something we can do." Harry said.

"Anything?" Hermione asked.

Rose remained silent as her feelings towards Sirius Black were still uncertain.

Professor Dumbledore seemed to be thinking. He turned to Rose and she looked taken aback.

"Why don't you ask Rose if she has any ideas?"

Rose shook her head at a loss before it hit her. Professor Lupin reminded her of the time-turner earlier that day.

The same answer seem to hit her and Hermione at the same time.

"Time-turner." They said together.

"What?" Harry said.

"Very good," Professor Dumbledore said he stood up to leave but before he did he turned back to look at Rose and Hermione, "I suggest you use the time-turner to save as many lives as possible tonight, but hurry you don't have much time."

Rose, Harry and Hermione jumped out of their beds and stood together. Hermione fumbled around for her time-turner.

"Can you explain to me- you both know how to use a time-turner?" Harry repeated.

"It's how I've made it to all of my classes this year," Hermione said.

"And how I made it to mine last year," Rose answered.

"You never told me about it?" Harry asked incredulously.

"I was told not to!" Rose said.

"It's true," Hermione defended Rose, "But listen Harry you need to follow me and Rose right now."

Harry turned back to Hermione. He watched as she dialed the time –turner and he felt them move through something like a drop in his stomach while the time was turning.

They were still in the hospital ward and it was the morning.

"Let's go," Rose said and they followed Rose out to the road down by Hagrid's hut. They had to cower behind rocks as they watched Cornelius Fudge enter the hut and the executioner take it's place. The executioner was still in the hut, so they had to hurry.

Hermione pushed ahead of them and led Harry and Rose down to the forested area in front of Hagrid's hut where they could hide behind a rock and peer into the window.

"We need to get Buckbeak," Harry said in a panic.

"Shh!" Rose instructed. She looked at Hermione who nodded and picked up a small stone from the pile of rocks.

She turned back around. Fudge's back was still turned.

She waited. When she was in the clear she threw the rock inside the hut.

"What in the bloody hell was that?" Cornelius Fudge called out.

"Oh, nothing, I don't know!" Hagrid exclaimed.

"Well, let's go have a look," Cornelius Fudge ordered and Hagrid followed him unwillingly outside of his hut, they turned a corner to inspect where the rock had come from and the executioner followed.

"Let's move," Rose said and nudged Harry. "Buckbeak knows you best." She said. Harry nodded and slowly stepped forward as Hagrid had instructed him. He waited for Buckbeak to bow and once she did he took her rope off the post and led her back to where Hermione and Rose were.

"Good!" Rose whispered. "Now, we have to get to the lake."

Harry nodded and they quickly went into the woods from Buckbeak to avoid being caught by Cornelius Fudge. They made it just in time as they had gotten unto Buckbeak's back they could hear the worried voice of Cornelius exclaiming:

"Where did she go?" At Hagrid. Harry got on Buckbeak first, followed by Rose, and then Hermione. He kicked the bird and then they were off flying over the now darkening sky.

Rose held unto Harry tightly as they were flying over the Great Lake.

"Harry," She asked, "Before I passed out, I thought I saw a Patronus- did you?"

"No!" Harry yelled back from the wind, "I didn't conjure it!"

"Then who do you think…" Rose 's voice trailed off for an answer.

"I think it was Dad!" Harry said. Rose was aware of Hermione's silence during this conversation.

"But, Harry, how could it possibly be…." Rose asked. Of course, more than anything she'd wished it was their father's Patronus.

But it just couldn't possibly be true.

Finally, they had flown over the lake and they could start to see the swarm of Dementors at the top of the lake, and they could make out Sirius from the distance.

"Let's wait for him alright?" Harry said referring to James Potter, "He'll come any second now!"

Rose tried to hold still as she'd already realized the truth. She didn't want to break Harry's heart.

She thought that maybe Hermione was staying silent because she knew the truth too.

It wasn't their father who'd conjured the Patronus- it had been Harry.

Or could it have been Rose?

She thought maybe it was starting to hit Harry.

"It was me?" He said to Rose.

"Yes! You don't have much time Harry!" Rose pleaded.

"You try," Harry said to Rose, "Come on what have you got to lose?"

Rose took in a breath but figured she might as well. She reached for her wand. She tried to think of her happiest memory.

Her wand began to light up- and her face turned in delight. She'd never seen her wand so bright before.

Out of the end sputted out the image of a tail- it was long as if from a dog or other furry creature of some sort. She never knew what the full animal of her patronus was though, because just as quickly as her light had sputted out it dimmed.

"Harry!" Hermione yelled, "NOW!"

Rose quickly put away her wand and watched as Harry conjured his Patronus- the image of a stag appeared as it lit up across the lake and made a light circle so vast that the swarm of dementors scattered.

Once the Dementors left Harry instructed Buckbeak to keep flying to Hogwarts.

When they landed they had to run to Professor Dumbledore who greeted them just as calmly as he had in the hospital ward.

"Is the task complete?" He asked the three of them.

"Yes," Hermione answered for Rose and Harry.

Professor Dumbledore nodded in approval before slowly walking down the hall.

"I'm sorry Rose," Harry said quickly when Professor Dumbledore left, "I knew you couldn't produce a Patronus but you got farther than you ever have!"

Rose nodded, but she was disappointed. She still didn't know what shape her Patronus took she could only guess.

"Did you see it had a tail?" Rose said, "It looked like a dog, which is a bit ironic considering everything with Sirius Black."

Harry gave her a small smile, "Yeah, I did notice that."

"It's alright," Rose said, "I'm just happy that Sirius and Buckbeak are saved."

Hermione nodded sensing that Rose and Harry wanted to be alone she said, "I'll see you both later, I've been feeling really tired all of a sudden. Also, I should go find Ron."

When Hermione left Harry and Rose sat down on a bench in the hallway.

"I'm sorry it wasn't Dad." Rose said to Harry and put her hand on his shoulder.

"Yeah, I just thought, I don't know…" Rose gave him a look that indicated she understood, "I know." She answered for him.

"But your Patronus is a stag," Rose said, "And that's so amazing you got to see it and thanks for giving me a chance."

Harry nodded.

"So," She said, "What are you going to do now?"

Harry shrugged, "Did you know school is over in two weeks? We should probably be getting on with exams."

Rose gasped and hung her head, "I can't believe it about exams, I totally forgot I still have four more!"

"And one Dark Arts class to make up right?" Harry asked.

"Yeah," Rose sighed, "From first year and I don't know I'm probably going to have to meet with Cornelius Fudge about it."

"Probably." Harry agreed.

"Do you know when we'll see Sirius again?" Rose asked Harry.

"No idea," He said, "But I'm sure he'll have to hide for a bit if the Ministry still thinks he's guilty."

Rose nodded in disappointment.

They stood up and embraced before walking back to their respective common rooms.
