A/N: The first little part isn't really from Hermione or Draco's point of view, it's more Ginny's but it ties every thing together. I really haven't had much time to write these but I think they are decent… : ) I know a lot of things might be left out but I cant put in everything, and since its mainly through Hermione's eyes I cant put in some things. Enjoy.

Chapter twelve: Call of the wolf.

Hermione told Ginny who D was later that night. At first she had thought Hermione was crazy but than she grew to not care. It was still a bizarre thought but after hearing about the ice skating incident, Ginny was completely okay with them being friends or what ever they really were.

"Hello Draco." Ginny said as she walked casually up to him in the library. Of course she only did this when she sure that no one else was around.

"Ginny." He acknowledged suspiciously as he continued to look down at the book in front of him. The girl was shocked by the fact shocked that he had actually called her by her first name. Considering that she was usually Weaslette.

"You like her don't you?" Ginny said when the initial shock wore off. When Draco looked up at her she had huge grin on her face, he couldn't help but admire how straight forward she was.

Draco's eyebrow rose, his cheeks were slightly pink, Ginny noticed.

"Ohmymerlin, you do!" She shrieked quietly. "You do like her!" she began to jump up and down with excitement.

"Well I have to, she's my best friend." He said awkwardly.

"You know good and well that's not the kind of 'like' I meant, and you didn't deny it!" She whispered loudly.

"So maybe I do like her as more than a friend. But what's it to you anyways?" He asked in a way that didn't even begin to sound rude. Ginny said nothing else as she turned to leave him with a big grin painting her face.

OoOoOoOoO

"I can't believe they are going to execute Buckbeak!" Hermione said as She, Harry and Ron walked back up to the castle from Hagrid's.

"Malfoy's dad mad a big deal about it." Harry said. "It was his fault, Malfoy's that is." None of them were too happy about the discovery they had made moments ago.

"Well there isn't much we can do now is there." Hermione said losing hope.

"How can you say that? There is always hope. We can, I don't know set him free. They can't kill what they can't find." Harry said concluded after a moment.

"Harry, Then Hagrid will get in trouble. They will think he set Buckbeak free. It's not as simple as that." They had finally reached the common room.

"Hermione, What did you find out from Hagrid?" Ginny asked and Hermione told her.

"That Draco's father is having Buckbeak executed." Hermione said angrily.

"That git!" The girl exploded. "His son totally over reacted and now Buckbeak has to die! That's horrible."

"Tell me about it, I just want to punch the both of them." Hermione stated. "Draco is overdue for a punch." Hermione whispered to where only Ginny could hear her as Harry and Ron went over to the couch and flopped down miserably.

Ginny laughed at Hermione's statement. "You're right Mi, he really is." Hermione just smiled at her and they walked over to a table and started working on some home work.

OoOoOoOoO

"I wish there was something we could do for Buckbeak." Harry said as they walked down to Hagrid's hut on the night of the execution. They were still torn up because they knew that it hadn't been the Hippogriffs fault.

"As far as I can tell, there isn't." Hermione said and then she saw Draco and two of his friends huttleing behind a tree with a pair of omnioculars.

"Oh great what is he doing here?" Ron groaned miserably.

"YOU EVIL LITTLE COCKROACH!" Hermione shouted at him and Draco jumped around only to see an angry Hermione coming towards him with her wand pointed at him. "HOW COULD YOU!" She shouted seeing fear in his eyes. "It's all your fault that an inocent animal is being killed."

"Cant I enjoy the show?" He asked looking at her and as the words had left his lips her wand was at his throat.

"Hermione, Forget it. It's just a waste of magic." Ron said.

"You know Ron, I think your right. It is a terrible waste." She said and then before anything else could be said she balled up her fist and punched him in the nose.

Malfoy screamed as her fist made contact. Ron and Harry both sniggered. "BLOODY HELL!"

"I think we are even now, Draco, you have been way due for that punch." she said grinning at him, but only he saw it. She watched as realization struck him. She wasn't mad at him; it was all part of the charade. He had even told her she could punch him.

"Drake what is she talking about?" Blaise asked in confusion.

"It only matters that he knows what I mean. You know what I mean don't you." She said, not as a question but as a statement.

"Perfectly." He sneered as he played along.

"Good." She said backing away from him and started walking towards Hagrid's Hut with her bag slung over her shoulder.

"Not a word of this to anyone, understood." she heard her best friend say as he and his friends ran into the castle.

"Wow Hermione," Harry and Ron said at the same time. "Who knew you could throw a punch!" Ron finished the sentence.

"The person who told me I could punch him." Hermione said quietly.

"What was that Mione?" Harry asked.

"Nothing." She said and continued to walk.

They finally reached Hagrid's hut a few minuets later and Hermione knocked on the door.

"Yeh shouldn't o' come!" Hagrid roared in distress. He wasn't crying or any thing like that but you could tell that he was torn up about having to execute the creature. "Wan' some tea?" He asked picking up his tea kettle off of the stove.

"No thank you." The three of them said in unison.

They all watched as he poured himself a large mug of tea and sat the kettle back on to the stove. He completely missed and it clattered to the floor, he didn't even bother to clean it up. Hagrid's hand trembled as he sat down.

They didn't really say anything after that, mostly because they didn't know what to say anything to upset him more... Plus they were just as upset as Hagrid was.

"Yeh gotta go," Hagrid said shaking even more "they mustn' find yeh here…Go now…" He said ushering the three to the back door.

Harry, Ron and Hermione Then ran back to the castle. They didn't look back, they were to afraid to. Once they reached the stone circle they stopped and did look back. Hermione burst into tears as she watched the executioner raise his ax and step forward.

They all closed their eyes as he let the ax fall and end with a splat.

"I cant believe the actually did it." Hermione said crying into Harry's shoulder.

OoOoOoOoO

They all went blank with shock. The scene was so horrifying that they wanted to scream. The silence they all shared was painful, they had thought that Hagrid or Dumbledore wouldn't have allowed it to happen but they had.

"OUCH!" Ron shouted, thus breaking the silence. "Scabbers bit me!" Ron ran after the rat who he now noticed was being chased by a big bushy ginger cat.

"Crookshanks!" Hermione scolded her cat as Ron chased the ugly rat. Ron ran all the way to a tree before he caught the rat and fell to the ground.

"RUN!" He screamed seeing something the other two hadn't. " it's the Grim run!" He shouted again.

Hermione spun around with her wand out and sure enough she saw a large scruffy black dog with pale blue eyes. Unable to do anything to stop it, The dog bounded past her and ran straight at Ron.

Both she and Harry started running towards the two when the dog latched its yellowing teeth into Ron's leg, causing the boy to scream in agony. With its jaw locked firmly into place the dog began to drag him towards the Whomping willow like a rag doll, and at a remarkable pace if I might add.

Crookshanks, who had been watching from the side, then chose this moment to act. He ran up to a knot on the base of the monstrous tree and pressed it with his paws. Hermione gasped in shock as the tree froze in place.

"How did he know to do that?" She demanded in horror.

"He's friends with the dog, I saw them walking together a couple of nights ago." Harry told her frantically as they sprinted towards the opening in the tree, they didn't want to be on the wrong side of the tree regained mobility... They had just made it in when Hermione's bag buzzed.

She sighed. "Give me a moment." She said and took out the book and lit her wand.

D: Mi, are you there.

Mi: I really cant talk right now. Ron has just been attacked by a large black dog that carried him into the Whomping willow.

D: Are you okay!

Mi: Drake, I'm fine.

D: Is there any thing I can do?

Mi: Go get Lupin, or even Snape. I don't really care who you get just find somebody quickly!

D: Okay.

She shut the book and stuffed it into her bag again. " He's gonna go get Lupin." she told Harry as the started walking down a tunnel.

"Who's going to go get Lupin?" Harry asked.

"My friend." She said.

"Who is you…" He started.

"Does it really matter Harry! Your best friend is probably bleeding to death as we discuss this!" Harry took off quickly down the tunnel, Hermione's words had worked and she sighed with relief and followed him.

They both came to a trap door a few minuets later and Harry, who didn't hesitate to think about it, pushed it open in one swift movement. Once they had climbed into the room above them they took in their surroundings.

They were in a large room filled with dust covered moth eaten furniture. On the floors, they saw a trail in the dust where Ron had been dragged to the stairs. There were little dots of blood scattered around the floor all the way up the stairs. They slowly climbed the stairs, afraid that with one false move, they would fall threw the rotting floor boards.

When they finally reached the top of the stairs Harry glanced down the narrow hall. They could clearly see a half open door at the end. Both Harry and Hermione crept towards it not making a sound. After what felt like a century they were in front of this door. Harry, whose always daring, pushed it open. They carefully walked into the room.

This room was not unlike the rest of the house. The walls were no longer painted, the floors were covered with dust and the furniture was old, moth eaten and covered in dust. They saw Ron sitting on a mattress clutching his leg in pain.

"RON!" They shouted and ran over to him.

"Are you okay! Where's the dog?" Harry asked.

"It's not a dog! Harry, Hermione you have to run. He's and animagus!" Ron said panicking and then the door behind them began to creek.

The two oblivious teens turned slowly to face the door, fear covering their faces.

Sirius Black stood in front of the three teenagers. His clothes were torn and ragged. He had hair the color of oil, it was long and unkempt. He looked horrible.

"Harry," The man said. "I thought you would come for your friend. James would have done the same for me, you are very much like him." Sirius seemed to be remembering something distant.

"If you want to kill Harry, You can kill us also." Hermione said, she suddenly thought of Draco and how much she didn't want to have to leave him.

"There will only be one murder here tonight." Sirius said.

"Why's that?" Harry asked "Gone soft in Azkaban?"

Black just grinned. Harry dived for his wand that had fallen when he had reached Ron, he managed to get to it. He flew at the man and shoved him to the ground with his wand pointed at his throat.

"Going to kill me Harry" He asked chuckling. "If only you knew the whole story."

"I know all I need…"

"Expelliarmus!" A voice shouted from the door way and Lupin walked in.

"Where is he Sirius?" Lupin asked.

Sirius just pointed at Ron.

"But then… Why hasn't he shown himself to us. " Lupin paused. "Unless he was the one… You switched… With out telling me?" Hermione gasped as Lupin lowered his wand and helped Sirius up off of the floor. They gasped again when the two men hugged each other.

"I DON'T BELIEVE IT!" Hermione shrieked " I TRUSTED YOU!"

"Miss. Granger." Lupin said cautiously.

"I know what you are! I didn't tell any one because I trusted you!" Hermione shouted "If I don't go back he will know, he knows you are here." She said thinking of Draco.

"No, he didn't came find me, He just missed me, he most likely went to professor Snape." Lupin said "Hermione you need to let me explain."

"NO! Why should I listen to a Werewolf!" She shouted and every one fell silent.

"Very clever you are, tell me how do you know that?"

"Snape's Essay." She said looking at him as if he were a monster.

"Snape will be happy to hear, he hoped someone would figure it out." Lupin laughed. "Yes, I think it is no secret that he detests my every fiber."

"Can we get on with this!" Sirius shouted.

"Just one moment Padfoot." Lupin said. "I was studying the map earlier tonight. I saw you walk up from Hagrid's accompanied by someone else."

"No, it was just us!" Harry screamed.

"Let me finish." The man said and continued. "I was shocked, I thought the map was malfunctioning. How could he be with you? Then I saw him drag two of you into the Whomping willow."

"You mean one of us?" Ron asked.

"No, I meant what I said." Lupin said. " Let me finish. Can I have a look at you rat?"

Ron became confused. "What does Scabbers have to do with any thing?"

"That's not a rat! He's a wizard!" Sirius shouted! "A Damn spineless wizard at that.."

"What do you mean? It's a rat! He has a tail and I have had him twelve years." Ron said not wanting to believe the man.

"Oh he's a wizard." Lupin said.

"An Animagus," Sirius amended. "By the name of Peter Pettigrew."

OoOoOoOoO

After that everything was very much a blur. All three students became more trusting of the two men once they transformed Scabbers into a rat like man with a missing finger. It went down hill when Harry attacked Snape. They all focused on getting Ron Back to the hospital wing.

It was when the moon came out, that they realized their situation. It was full. Lupin transformed and Sirius tried to hold him off. Once Harry had gone to help Sirius Hermione Took Ron to the castle.

OoOoOoOoO

"Miss Granger, You know the consequences. You must not be seen, you know what is at stake."

"What are you? OH!" Hermione said realizing what Dumbledore had meant.

"I will lock you in here, Three turns should do the trick." Dumbledore said before leaving.

Hermione pulled out her time turner and pulled on it so that it would extend to fit around both hers and Harry's necks.

"What is this?" He asked reaching out and Hermione slapped his hand away. Everything went fuzzy and different pictures flashed before them. They were standing out side watching as Hermione punched Malfoy but only at a different angle.

"What's with that look on you face?" Harry asked her.

"Um, nothing. I was just happy to have punched him." Harry let it drop at that.

"How is this even possible?" He asked her.

"Harry this is a time turner. It allows me to go back in time. Its how I have been getting to my classes."

"That explains so much." He whispered.

"If only we knew what Dumbledore wants us to do…" Hermione paused. "Oh Merlin!" She said looking down at Hagrid's Hut. "He's still alive."

"You mean… We can still save him and then use Buckbeak to save Sirius." Harry exclaimed and then ran towards the hut.

"Harry! We have to wait until the minister see's him otherwise They will think Hagrid's done it." She told him as the stopped behind a pile of large Pumpkins.

They watched themselves leave and Dumbledore, Fudge and Macnair walked to the door. Once the three were inside Harry and Hermione ran from their hiding place and tried to lure the hippogriff into the woods using dead ferrets. After a few minuets and a few close calls they succeeded.

They walked through the forest and waited near the Whomping willow. They waited as they watched Sirius and Ron, themselves, then Lupin and Finally Snape walk into the tree.

"Here we come." Hermione said as she watched their figure walk from the tree. "He's transforming."

" He's going to come right at us, we have to move." Harry said to her. They suddenly heard a howl.

"OH GOD!" Hermione shrieked when she heard that. Her insides were telling here that it wasn't the call of another werewolf. "No, No not him!" Hermione said panicking. She recognized the voice.

"What are you…" Take Buckbeak and get to somewhere safe. I have to go help him."

"I'm going with you." Harry said.

"NO! Leave me I will be fine." she said and then ran.

HOOWWWWLLLL

She had heard another one. "DRAKE!" She screamed and practically ran into him. They both fell onto the dirt.

"Hermione?" He said scrambling to his feet and pulling her up with him. He then pulled her into an embrace "What… How are you here when your up there?" He asked as he continued to hold her in his arms.

"Time turner, now we have to go Lupin's coming." She said breaking away from him and pulling him by the hand away from the spot they had been in.

" I thought I was going to lose you." He said as the stood hidden behind a tree. They were standing fairly close to each other.

"I thought I had lost you." She said. "could that have been any more stupid of you?" She asked.

"I did that for you. I cant lose you Mione, I have said that before and I mean it." He said leaning his head towards her. Hermione's breath caught when his forehead made contact with hers. "I…" He said leaning a little closer, Hermione let her eyes close.

"Hermione!" they heard Harry's voice call out and jumped apart.

"I had better go. Potty wont want to see me here." He turned and ran away.

"Hermione there you are, I have been looking for you." He said panting.

"I have been here, I had to help him, he saved us, He's my best friend." She rattled on.

"I cast a Patronus, It wasn't my dad I saw. It was me!" He said excitedly totally ignoring what Hermione had said. She remembered Harry telling her about that. She had somehow thought it was him all along. "I have already freed Sirius."

"Really!" She asked astounded.

"Yeah, now we better go before we are missed, It's almost midnight."

OoOoOoOoO

Mi: Ron thought he had gone bonkers. She was telling Draco as she sat on the Hogwarts train. They were going home.

D: I don't blame him, you and Pothead were standing in front of him and then you were at the door.

Mi: I guess you're right.

D: You three are like magnets, you attract danger quite frequently.

Mi: Ha, Tell me about it! All I want is a normal year.

D: Hey but then it wouldn't be so much fun.

Mi: I guess you're right.

D: Oh, I see the station.

Mi: Well I guess I wont see you for a while then, unless of course Ron and the others manage to get tickets to the World cup, then I will see you there.

D: We are in the ministers box.

Mi: Stop bragging! It isn't very nice.

D: Well I guess I will talk to you later then, have a nice summer.

Mi: You to Drake. Bye.

Hermione closed the book and collected her things and waited for the train to stop.

OoOoOoOoO

A/N: I had to write the ending quickly, please excuse any errors. Quidditch world cup is the next chapter. Fun! Lol Hope you enjoyed this chapter the next one will have more Draco in it. : ) Review! ~Taylor.
