Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters

I am so, so sorry for this taking so long, I was hit with some major writers block. It's now up for you to enjoy (hopefully)
Dumbledore looked around at the sight that beheld him in the hospital wing and then spoke up.
"We must work quickly Sirius has been placed at the top of the charms corridor, and if you do your work tonight, more than one innocent life may be saved as a result."
Micky was glad that Harry also looked confused at his words, but Hermione was looking slightly nervous.
"Sir…"
"Now you know the rules Miss Granger, you must not be seen. 10:30," He said checking his fob watch. "Three turns should do it. I'm going to lock you in now."
And with that he left and shut the doors behind him. Harry and Micky stared at Hermione for a few moments before Harry asked what they were both thinking.
"What was he talking about Hermione?"
"Come here and I'll show you."
She beckoned to both Micky and Harry as she took a chain from around her neck. Micky looked at it impressed.
"A time-turner, cool. Don't tell me, you needed this to get to classes or something."
"Basically yes, I had a full timetable so Prof. McGonagall wrote to the Ministry to allow me to have this."
She said all this while throwing the chain over all three of their necks, she then proceeded to turn it three times and they all started to feel rather disorientated as the last three hours zoomed by them.
When at last they came to a halt it was 7:30 and they were standing in a now empty hospital wing.
"Where were we at 7:30 Harry?" Hermione asked, quite hurriedly.
"Visiting Hagrid weren't we."
"Yes that sounds about right, what about you Micky."
"I was just behind you; I wanted to see the Hippogriff."
"That may make things complicated, if I understood Dumbledore, he wants us to recue Buckbeak as well as Sirius. That may be difficult to if we have to avoid you as well."
"I know my own movements Hermione I can tell you where I am in relation to us."
Instead of answering again, she just nodded and started off, Harry and Micky following her. They made it to the walkway swiftly when Micky stopped them.
"What is it?" Hermione asked.
"Look, you lot have just gone down and are about to meet Malfoy and his goons, I'm hiding next to the exit listening in, which, by the way, great punch."
Hermione blushed slightly before Micky continued.
"Anyway, I know that I had to leap to the side pretty quickly to avoid them so I suggest we stay at this end until they've gone by."
"And after that? Where were you?"
"I was standing on the hill bank until I hear Dumbledore and the Minister coming."
"Great so we can't get by without you seeing us."
"Hermione listen, if, once the goons run by we get down the walkway and down to the right, which can allow us to make it to the forest section near Hagrid's pumpkin patch. Near enough to free the Hippogriff I'd think."
Micky could see Hermione trying to come up with an argument but had none; they hid round the corner just in time to see Malfoy run through with a bloody nose followed by Crabbe and Goyle. Not wanting to chance it, they tore quickly down the walkway and down to the right as Micky had suggested.
They made it to the trees just in time for Harry, Ron and Hermione to come out of Hagrid's hut and run back up the hill. This was their only chance so they untied Buckbeak and coaxed him away from the pumpkin patch. It worked, but only just, the executioner came out and, in anger, plunged his axe into one of the pumpkins.
"I guess we just have to wait now?" Micky asked.
"Yes," Hermione then answered. "Now we wait."
They walked so they could see the Shrieking Shack. They watched as Lupin entered the tree, followed not too long after by Snape. Micky could see out the corner of her eye that seeing those two had triggered the memory of the earlier conversation in the shack in Harry and Hermione.
"Micky, was all that Snape said in there…"
"If either of you utter another word on the subject you can expect pumpkin for a head. I'm not discussing it, in any matter."
Micky said it all with venom that made them both instantly back away. After a long period of waiting, he saw them all exit the from beneath the tree, only for Remus to transform a short time later.
"It's nearly time." Micky muttered as all three of them stood and made ready to move.
The fight between them all was as bloody as Micky had heard from the bank. And it also made her realise what the howling was she heard. Quickly, she turned into a dog and let out her best howl, being a large dog, the sound sounded rather wolfish. She ran a few steps and repeated herself, this time fully catching the werewolf's attention and causing him to run towards the three in the forest.
"You do realise he's coming after us now." Harry asked as Micky turned back into a human.
"Yes, I did give that a moment's thought, now run!"
And run they did, for several minutes before Lupin got the scent of something elsewhere and left them.
"Poor Prof. Lupin's having a really tough night." Harry said form Micky's left.
They then felt the dementors flying overhead, and rushed to see Sirius and Micky near unconscious on the bank and Harry trying and failing to warn them off. Without any conscious thought, both Harry and Micky went forward and summoned a Patronous: Harry's a stag and Micky's a tigress.
As the light from the spells came down they saw Snape, now awake and tending to Micky and Harry while biding Sirius.
Micky had to volunteer to stay out of this next bit. Buckbeak could carry three but after they got Sirius out would make it four and none of them were sure whether the Hippogriff could sustain that much weight. She said she would meet them in the courtyard and, after transforming, ran off to wait for them.
While she was waiting she had a think about what awaited her. Severus was going to kill her, as would Dumbledore probably since he would know by now. And she and Remus would have to end it; there was no way it could continue, even if there was nothing to continue.
She was distracted from her thoughts by a whooshing overhead and looked up to see Buckbeak coming into land.
Micky decided to keep her distance as Sirius said his farewells to Harry, he would be flying Buckbeak away from here and to safety. Soon though, he beckoned Micky over.
"I feel rather bad that I couldn't get to know you. Kathryn was a decent woman and from what I've seen you are so much like her, living by her own rules." He dropped his voice down to a whisper, "Don't let yourself lose Remus, he needs someone and I think you two would be good together."
He then stood up and mounted Buckbeak,
"I'll try and write to you both."
And with that both wanted beings flew off into the night and Harry, Hermione and Micky, having realised the time, raced off back to the hospital wing to be let back in.
They got back just as Dumbledore was closing the doors
"Professor, we did it." Harry declared.
"Did what?" Dumbledore asked smiling. "Good night,"
They all went in shaking their heads at their eccentric head and lay back down. Madame Pomfrey started fussing at them straight away, so they just accepted their chocolate and ate it quietly.
