Buckbeak was going to be executed today. Harry and his friends with Ron, Hermione and Neville who had been working on Buckbeak's appeal sneaked out of the castle to go see Hagrid before it happened. As they were making their way there each of them felt a sense of hopelessness and thoughts of the fact they couldn't do anything to help Hagrid. They made it to see Hagrid patting Buckbeak and talking to him while crying. Each of them felt sympathy for him and especially Buckbeak, he didn't deserve this.

They made there way inside to have a chat when suddenly a rock was thrown and connected with the back of Harry's head. Harry looked around for the source to see the minister, the headmaster and a ministry worker who would be executing Buckbeak. They all quickly left through the back door, they hid behind some pumpkins and waited til the minister had seen Buckbeak and go inside. When he did they ran over to Buckbeak, untied him, baited him with dead ferrets and then ran him into the forbidden forest. They tied him around a tree and then left to run all the way up to the top of the hill. All they saw was an axe being swung down and birds flying around, they saved Buckbeak.

Suddenly Scabbers bit Ron's finger and ran away, with Ron chasing after him. They all chased after Ron, eventually they found him holding Scabbers. Ron looked up to see a big black dog growling at him, he shouted out but the dog had already jumped over them and was now dragging him away by the leg.

Harry, Hermione and Katie all made it down because they got into the tunnel before the Whomping Willow could attack them. They considered going back to help the others but they had to get Ron first, god knows what's happened with that dog. They made it through the tunnel eventually coming out to a building. It was the shrieking Shack. They ran into a room to see Ron laying down gripping his leg like his life depended on it.

He then raised his hand which was trembling and pointed it back at the door. There standing behind it was Sirius Black. Katie jumped in front of Harry.

"If you want to kill Harry, you'll have to kill me first."She said.

"No only one will die tonight." Black said.

"And it will be you." Harry yelled in anger, he pushed Katie aside so he could attack Black. He dragged him to the ground and pulled out his wand.

"Wait, wait Harry. Listen to me."

"Why should I!" Harry seethed in anger.

"Because you'll regret it." He said.

"You killed my parents! I won't regret it!"

"No, no listen..." He was cut off by Professor Lupin barging in, he disarmed Harry and then moved towards Black.

"Where is he Sirius?"He asked.

"The kids holding him." He replied.

"Wait, what is going on." Harry asked as Lupin strode over to Ron.

He ignored Harry and talked to Ron. "Ron, may I have a look at that rat." He asked.

"W-why?" he asked.

"I can explain in just one second, please." So Ron did as asked and handed him the rat. The rat was squirming and thrashing around trying to get out of Lupin's hold.

"Harry, this is not a rat." He said.

"What?" All four of us said.

Then Black spoke up. "It's a wizard, by the name of Peter Pettigrew.

"No, no. That..that's impossible. He's dead."Harry said.

"No Harry, the map showed him perfectly."

"Map..you know how to read the map?"

"Yes, I helped write it. I'm Moony, Sirius is Padfoot, Peter is Wormtail and your Father was prongs. " He said waving his hand impatiently.

"But,,but..." He cut Harry off.

"Look, we can prove it to you." Remus then embraced Black like a brother.

"What are you doing?" Harry yelled.

"You, what are you talking about? Hermione asked.

"Harry, Hermione, Sirius is innocent. Remember, he was charged for killing Pettigrew." He said.

"What about the 12 muggles?" He asked.

"Sirius, could you please tell your story."

Sirius looked depressed at the thought but spoke anyway.

"When you and your parents went into hiding, they wanted to make me secret keeper but I thought it would be obvious. Of course they would make James's best friend the secret keeper so I told them they should use Peter instead. On the night of your parents...murder"He said the word just barely. "I went to find Peter to see that it was clean, just fine. I ran out to the street to see him at the end of the road. I yelled out to him what happened? But then he yelled at me' Lily and James, how could you Sirius' he pulled out his wand, blew up half the street killing the twelve muggles and then transformed into his animagus form, the rat." He pointed at the rat which was still thrashing.

"Please Harry, I loved your parents. I-..I never would have done it." He croaked out just barely

"Now we will show you the proof." Lupin said. He and Black then cast a spell on the rat which then dropped to the floor. Suddenly a body appeared where the rat had been and Harry knew that Sirius was innocent and Wormtail was the traitor.

Harry walked over to Sirius and smiled at him and took his wand. He aimed it at Wormtail Restringunt
The spell made Wormtail drop to the floor and look to be paralyzed.

"Harry, what did you just do?" He asked worried.

"Don't worry, he's just paralyzed."I said.

"Where are the others?" Katie asked.

"I sent them to collect the Minister and the Headmaster after I saw Wormtail in your company. Let's meet them out there shall we?" Yes. Lupin then levitated Wormtail while Sirius and I picked Ron up and helped him along, we just made it out of the tunnel to see Snape there with his wand out.

"BLACK!" He yelled.

"WAIT! He's innocent! Stop!" Harry yelled.

"Get out of the way Potter!"He yelled.

"Severus, it's true. The real traitor was Peter Pettigrew. We've got him right here." Lupin said emerging from the tunnel.

Snape just ignored them and continued to point his wand at Black.

"Oh we don't have time for this! Expelliarmus" Snape's wand flew out of his hand and into mine.

"Potter!" He yelled. They were then shown in the new light that had just come from out of the clouds, a fool moon. Harry then heard ragged breathing. He looked behind him to see Lupin go stiff and breathing heavily.

"Professor." Harry said. He stepped forward but was pushed back by Hermione.

"Harry, he's a werewolf. We need to get out of here." Harry and Katie gasped. He knew some spells but didn't think it would do all that good against a werewolf.

"We can't Ron's got a broken leg and Wormtail is paralyzed we need him." They were stopped, they couldn't run but they couldn't stay.

Lareth!

Young Dragonlord

Do you have any experience with Werewolves.

Well I have defeated many and extracted a few.

Extracted?

The process of extracting the infection from the saliva and blood.

How do I do that.

You can't or at least not right now. Just then Sirius transformed into his dog animagus form. The werewolf and dog collided with each other while rest of us just watched.

How do I hurt it?

Point your wand at him and say Te Agminis

Sirius distracts Lupin and chases him further into the forest. Harry throws Snape his wand then follows while the others guard Wormtail. He makes it just as Lupin throws Sirius into a rock. He aims his wand and says Te Agminis. A beam of gold light shot from the wand and attacked the werewolf. Lupin took one look at it and ran, I then go to Sirius who is laying down unconscious.

"Sirius, Sirius!" Just then Harry felt a sense of dread and depression. No! Not now!

I look up to see at least a hundred of them, I pull out my wand. I'm going to live with my Godfather! I'm leaving the Dursley's! EXPECTO PATRONUM! From Harry's wand burst a blind dazzling Stag. The stag dominated and drove away the dementors before facing back to Harry.

"Prongs." He whispered before the stag disintegrated. Harry then hardly having anymore energy, collapsed and fell unconscious.


Dumbledore and Fudge made there way down with Fred, George, Neville, Megan, Oliver and Adam. They had informed them that they needed to see something vitally important and they would explain when they got there. Fudge tried many times to see what they were talking about but to no avail. They finally reached the destination, the Whomping Willow which looked very calm unlike it's normal behavior.

They saw Ron and his broken leg, next Snape holding his wand who looked to be on guard about something, next was Katie who was doing the same thing then finally Hermione who had her wand in hand pointing it down at a body.

"What is the meaning of this?" Fudge asked.

Katie then stepped forward to talk because Snape was to busy on the look out.

"Sir, you need to see this." She led them over to the body. Lumos The light was shown to reveal Peter Pettigrew.

Fudge and Dumbledore gasped.

"Wha...How...What...What happened?" Fudge asked after stuttering many times.

So they explained what happened with a little bit of deception. Katie explained that Peter Pettigrew was an illegal animagus and kept running away so they placed a tracking charm on him. When they found his missing he lead them over here. Then Sirius Black showed up along with Remus Lupin who proved it was Pettigrew by switching him back.

Fudge asked where Sirius, Lupin and Harry were to which they answered they didn't know but then Snape had to be Snape and let slip that Lupin was a werewolf. Fudge gasped and rounded on Dumbledore demanding questions. Dumbledore dismissed him until later and then left with Snape to go look for them. The students then accompanied the minister back to the castle.
