Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER
Chapter 6
October's pov
I phased back and so did Sirius. I looked at Ron's leg and felt sick. "Sirius? What
have you done? Look, it's pretty bad" "Well I was going for the Rat since you couldn't get him" I gasped at him. "Well sorry, but Ron wouldn't let go!" I looked at Ron and he was watching us. "You! You've been helping him all this time! Even after what he did to Harry's parents" I started to protest but Harry and Hermione barged in with cuts and scratches on their faces. "Ron!" "No Harry! It's a trap, he's an animagus!" Harry looked at me then at Sirius. "You betrayed us! You were planning this weren't you? You wanted me dead!" He then lunged at Sirius. "Harry get off!" I ran towards them, but Hermione lunged at me too. Then Lupin came in. "Sirius? You got yourself into trouble once again" He then helped Sirius up and Sirius helped me up. You all betrayed us!" Hermione shouted. "No, listen-" I started calmly, but she cut me off. "Why should I? Here you are, helping Sirius Black, a crazed murderer and he betrayed Harry's-" I cut her off. "You have no proof! Sirius never had a trial and never got to tell his side of the story!" I shouted. Hermione stepped up to me. We were so close, our noses were almost touching. "Muggles so him kill Petigrew, Smith", she said with venom. I stepped back and Sirius put his arm
around me. Tears were escaping. "I didn't betray you..." I trailed off. "Liar! You deserve to go to Azkaban with Lupin and Black. Maybe the Dementors will give you a kiss if were lucky!" Harry shouted. I turned away so they wouldn't see that I was crying silently into my shoulder. "Please let us explain...Sirius is innocent-" but I was cut imediantley. "What?" Ron blurted out. I talked into my shoulder, "Sirius did not betray your parents, Harry. Sirius, James, Remus, and
Petigrew were the best of friends. But it wasn't Sirius. It was-" Harry cut me off. "Who was it then?" Before I could reply Sirius answered for me. "Peter Petigrew! He's in this room...Right now, right there!" He pointed at Ron. "What-me? He's mad, Harry. Don't believe him" Ron said in a rush. "Not you, Ronald, the rat!" I shouted eying the rat. I phased and pounced on him, but to be caught in mid jump. I looked up at who caught me and it was Lupin. "Be patient, October. We'll
have him soon enough" I nodded and he put me down. I phased back and glared at the rat. "Scabber's been in our family for-" "Twelve years! He's missing a toe isn't he?" Sirius shouted. "Oh, lower your tone, Sirius. They can hear you! I certainly can" I rubbed my furry ear. "Sorry-" Ron cut him off. "So what?" "All they could fine of Petigrew was his-" "Finger! The bloody coward cut it to make it look like an accident" Sirius explained. "Show me then" Harry said. I phased,
my tail wagging with excitement. I heard Lupin chuckle. I watched as Sirius wrestled Ron for the rat. The rat then started to run away. I chased it and pounced on it. I barked at it as it squeaked. I bit it and it squeaked in pain as Sirius waved his wand and it transformed into a plump man that did resemble a rat. "Ow, you bite hard. Sirius...Remus...My old friends-" He then ran to the door, but Lupin and Sirius had their gurad up. "You sold Lilly and James to Voldemort
didn't you?" Sirius chased him towards a piano. "I didn't mean to! The dark lord. He possess dark magic. Think to yourself, what would you have done?" Petigrew asked. "I would have died! I would have died then betrayed my friends!" Sirius shouted and then Petigrew was cornered. "If you didn't think Voldemort would kill you, then we would. Together!" Lupin shouted and raised his wand towards Petigrew. "Stop!" Harry shouted. "We'll take him to the castle. Then the
dementors can have him". Lupin tied up Petigrew and Hermione and him dragged Petigrew while Sirius, Harry, and I helped Ron. As soon as we got out I noticed the moon. It was bright and full. "Lupin!" I shouted and he looked towards the moon and he slowly began to shift. Sirius the ran over to him and hugged him. Trying to get him to stay in his human form but wasn't successful. I watched as Lupin crawled towards the trio so I phased and bit his leg. He pinned me down
with one paw, but then a black dog shoved at Lupin causing them to both run down hill. "Smith!" I heard Snape's voice, but I ignored it. I ran and saw Lupin tackle Sirius to the ground. I ran faster but I saw Sirius was lying still. I ran over to him and he was still breathing. I was then being picked up by Lupin and he slamed me down hard on the ground. He then pressed his paw hard against my leg causing a snap sound. I yelped in pain and then heard a howl. I phased back and
Lupin was about to bite me when he noticed the howl. He ran off, then Harry came out of the shadows. I felt cold and high above us fer hundreds of dementors. Then I fainted.
Duh-Duh-Duuunnnn
