Harry, Hermione and Ron were sitting in the Gryffindor Common room, doing their
Transfiguration homework on Animagi. (Wizards that could turn into animals.) Ginny
and the Creevey brothers were trading wizard cards, Fred and George were chatting with
Alicia Spinett, and Katie Bell. Harry was having trouble with his homework, but this was
nothing compared to Ron, "Stupid spell, and my wand is not working right!" He complained.
" I can`t believe you!" Snapped Hermione "You wouldn`t have so much trouble only if you
had paid attention to what Professor Mcgonagall was talking abo-" But a soft Tap. Tap
on the window interrupted her. It was Hedwig. Harry ran across the common room to open
the window and let her in. It was a letter from Sirius, Harry`s godfather:
Dear Harry,
I`m fine. How are you? I`m glad
you like to keep in touch. I noticed
that Buckbeak doesn`t look well at
all. I`m on the cave just above
Hogsmeade. Can you ask Hagrid
if he could meet me outside the
Shrieking Shack, maybe he would
to check him out! You know since
he already knows I`m innocent.
My best to Ron and Hermione.
Sirius

"Oh no!" Gasped Hermione, "But Hagrid would like to see Buckbeak, so I bet he will go!"
Harry took a piece of partchment and wrote to hagrid telling him everything Sirius had
said in the letter. He sent Hedwig back and returned to his homework. "I`m done!"
Said Hermione brightly, "Now I just have to do my potions` homework!"
"Oh great"Ron said, "I forgot my potions` book in the library!" He ran out through
the portrait. Crookshanks came and settle in Hermione`s lap and started purring.
Hermione smiled very sweetly at him. Harry was thinking 'Wow, Hermione is beautiful,
and it`s taken me all this years to notice!' Hermione looked at him puzzled, "What`s
wrong Harry?" She asked "Nothing" He said quickly. 'She is beautiful!'
