A few hours later Harry and Neville woke up. Hermione was next to Neville and Harry walked over to him.
"I saw your dad. My dad couldn't make a stag patronus." Neville said.
"What?" Harry said. "He and Sirius are in their animagus with uncle Moony."
"But there was a patronus and I know it was him. I'm not strong enough to make one that big." he said.
Hermione opened her mouth but was interrupted by the door.
"Headmaster?" Hermione said.
"What are we going to do? Uncle Wormy got out." Harry said.
"No matter what we do there's no chance of getting him." Neville said.
"I know you three but there's one thing you can do. Mysterious thing time. If you succeed more than one life can be spared." Dumbledore said.
Then he turned around.
"You know the laws Ms. Ganger, you must not be seen. You must be back by midnight. If not then I fear things will go terribly wrong." Then he walked closer. "Three turns should do the tricks."
Then he was gone. Hermione had Neville and Harry get closer. Then she looked at Ron.
"Sorry Ron but we don't have enough space."
Then she took something out of her shirt and put two more on their neck. While she counted to three Harry and Tracey looked around confused. A few seconds later it stopped.
"What just happened?" Harry asked.
"Where's Ron?" Neville asked.
"Come on and we can't be seen." Hermione said waving a hand.
"Hermione!" Harry said while they started running.
While they ran Harry and Neville tried to get Hermione's attention. When they were right outside the school Hermione started to slow down.
"Hermione will you please tell us what it is we're doing." Harry said.
When they stopped they looked outside.
"Is this I time-turner?" Neville asked shocked.
"Yes, this is how I've been getting through my lessons all year." Hermione said. "Clearly there's something Dumbledore wants us to change."
"Ah, coming to see the show!" Malfoy said.
"You! You fowl lower evil little cockroach!" Hermione said taking out her wand.
"Hermione no! It's not worth it." Ron said.
Then they watched her punch him. And Malfoy started running.
"That felt good."
"Not good, brilliant!" Neville said.
"Good punch." Harry said.
"Thanks. Malfoy's coming!" Hermione said.
So they jumped down and walked over to the pumpkins.
"Look, Buckbeak's still alive!" Harry said.
"Of course! Don't you see? More than one life can be spared!" Hermione said.
While they watched what they were doing Harry saw the minister, Dumbledore and executor walking to Hagrid's.
"Here they come, we better hurry." he said.
"Fudge will have to see Buckbeak before we can get him. Otherwise he'll think Hagrid set him free. We can't be seen." Hermione said.
Then Hermione looked at them.
"But we aren't leaving, why aren't we leaving?" she said.
Then she looked down and saw some pebbles. After that she threw one and broke a pot.
"Are you mad?" Harry asked.
Then she threw another one and hit Neville's head.
He sat there and rubbed his head.
"That hurt." he said.
"Sorry." she said. "We're going to the back door, go!"
So they started to move and hide behind a tree.
"Is that really what my hair looks like from the back?" Hermione asked herself.
"Hermione!" Neville whispered.
Then she turned around and heard her earlier self turn around.
"What?" Ron asked.
"Thought I just saw- never mind." she said.
"Let's go." Harry said.
Then they were gone.
"Alright, go Harry, go!" Hermione said.
He headed to Buckbeak and listened to the minister.
"Shall be executed this day."
Harry bent down and Buckbeak did the same thing. He untied it's trap.
"Alright Buckbeak, come on."
"Quick!" Neville said.
Hermione turned around and saw something. So she picked them up and picked one up.
"Come on Buckbeak, come and get the nice dead ferret!" she said waving one in front of him.
Then tossed him one when he stood up.
"Come on, come and get another!"
Then they heard Dumbledore say something and froze. Buckbeak bit Hermione's finger by accident while trying to get a ferret.
"See those pumpkins were here when headmaster Dippit was here." Dumbledore said.
"Ahh." Fudge said.
"And all the strawberries."
"Oh yes indeed indeed."
While they were kept busy Harry, Hermione and Neville headed to the forest.
Then they heard Dumbledore say something.
"Alright."
"But where is it? I saw the beast just now! Not a moment ago!" Fudge said.
"How extraordinary," Dumbledore said.
"Buckbeak." Hagrid muttered.
"Well, we must search the grounds!"
"Search the skies, if you will. . . . Hagrid, I could do with a cup of tea. Or a large brandy." Dumbledore said. "Oh executioner we will no longer need your service. But thank you."
"You'll catch no small glass in my house." Hagrid said.
Then the executioner broke a pumpkin.
After that Harry, Neville and Hermione put Buckbeak down and turned around.
"Now what?" Harry asked.
"We save Sirius." Hermione said.
"How?" Neville asked.
"No idea." Hermione said.
They headed to the other side of the forest and saw Remus, James and Sirius running to the tree.
"Look it's my dad, uncle Moony and uncle Padfoot!" Harry said.
"And now we wait." Hermione said.
"And now we wait." Neville said.
The three of them sat there and waited. Buckbeak was chasing some birds.
"At least someone's enjoying themselves." Hermione said.
"He reminds me of uncle Padfoot." Harry said.
"Yeah." Neville said. "Guys, when I was outside with Sirius, I did see someone."
"Who?" Hermione asked.
"Uncle James. It was him who made the patronus."
"Neville, my dad wasn't with you. And besides, only a really powerful wizard could make a patronus that strong." Harry said.
"You know aunt Lily and uncle James are really strong."
Then Harry thought of something.
'Unless it was me. I have the same patronus as dad and am really strong.' he thought.
"I know but still." Hermione said while Harry put the picture's together.
Then they heard something, Sirius and James get ready.
"Run! Run!"
"Let's go." Hermione said.
While they did that Hermione saw Harry throw his shoe at Remus.
"Ahwooo!" Hermione started.
"What are you doing?" Neville asked.
"Saving your life. Ahwoooo!"
"Thanks." he said while she howled.
Then Remus started to come to them.
"Great now he's coming to us. And we weren't in our form!" Harry said.
"Yeah didn't think about that. Run!" Hermione said.
While they ran Remus started to come. Then they hid behind a tree and heard Remus growl.
Before they could do anything Buckbeak came and jumped in front of them. While he started fighting him Harry and Neville looked at each other.
When he ran away Hermione leaned closer to Harry.
"That was so scary." she whispered.
"Poor uncle Moony is having a really tough night." Harry said.
Then the wind started to get some leaves to go over their feet. And it got colder.
"Come on." he said.
When they got to the lake they stood there and watched the earlier Harry and Sirius getting hit by dementors.
"This is horrible. You'll die, both of you." Hermione said.
"Any minute now, right there. You'll see." Neville said pointing in front of them.
"Neville listen to us, no one's coming." Hermione said.
'It's defiantly me.' Harry thought then started running and taking out his wand.
"Harry!" Neville said.
"EXPECTO PATRONUM!" Harry yelled.
Then a strong stag appeared and fought off the dementors.
"Whoa." Neville said watching his 'brother' make such a big patronus.
They had been considering each other a brother over the years and swore to stick together like they were twins being only a day apart.
When he was done he stood there for a second and then went back to Hermione and Neville.
"Let's go." he said.
Then they hopped on Buckbeak and started to fly.
"You were right guys, it wasn't uncle James who made the patronus. It was Harry! I knew I couldn't make another one because, well I'd already tried to! Does that make sense?" he asked.
"No." Harry and Hermione said together.
"But I don't like flying ahhh!" Hermione yelled.
"Whahoo!" Harry yelled while Neville started laughing.
When they got back to school they got off Buckbeak and watched him fly out to the Forbidden Forest. Then they heard the clock start ticking for twelve.
"We have to go!" Hermione said.
They started running to the door before the hospital wing.
When they got there they jumped over the step and looked at Dumbledore.
"Well?" he said.
"He's free." Harry said.
"We've done it." Neville said.
"Did what?" he said.
Then he smiled and started to wave.
"Good night."
The three of them looked at each other confused but shrugged. Then they headed to Ron and saw a copy of the three.
"How did you get there, when I was just talking to you there? Now you're there!" he said confused.
"What's he talking about Harry, Neville?" Hermione asked.
"I don't know." Harry said.
"Honestly Ron, how three people be in two places at once?" Neville asked.
Then they started laughing.
