Tonight is meet the teachers night, or as I call it "Meet the Creatures Night" lol.

Chapter 18

Last Time:

After the food fight, Dumbledore waves his wand making sleeping bags appear for everyone to sleep in. Alex quickly crawls into hers and goes straight to sleep.

"Do you think I will get off Albus?" Sirus asks sitting on an armchair that Dumbledore creates.

"I will make sure you do Sirus. If needed I will make sure Alex will go back in time to save you" Sirus nods and smiles.

"You have it all planned out don't you?" Dumbledore smiles innocently which Sirus sees right through.

"Now I see where your daughter gets it from" all the adults chuckles before going to sleep.

Now:

As March arrives, Alex has been able to find out who Pettigrew is. Today is the day that she is going to catch him but he ran off somewhere. Hagrid is in on the plan and sent a message to Alex, who is at breakfast. Just then, Alex sees Snowy fly to her with a letter in her beak. Snowy lands in front of Alex and she grabs the letter.

I catch him, Hagrid

Something so simple means so much to Alex. Alex grins at the four word letter.

"What's up?" Hermione asks Alex. Alex looks up and can't remove the grin.

"Nothing" Alex grabs the quill out of Hermione's hand and writes a few words then sends it off with Snowy. She wrote:

Meet you at your hut after classes, Ally

~H&A~

After classes, Alex runs down the hill to Hagrid's hut, but not sneaky enough because Ron, Hermione and Harry follows her. The three of them hides in the pumpkins.

"I can't believe you caught him" Alex thanks Hagrid, as her three friends listen. Just then, Harry and Hermione see the guy that is coming to kill Buckbeak that night, with Dumbledore and Fudge, the Minister of Magic. They see Alex take something from Hagrid. Hermione groans when she sees that Alex and Hagrid aren't moving, so Hermione grabs a rock and throws it through the open window. The rock smashes that jar and Hermione sends another and it hits Alex in the head, "Oww" Alex rubs her head and looks out the window and Hermione makes signals, telling her to hide.

~H&A~

As Alex looks out the window she sees Dumbledore worried glance. Hagrid looks out as well and Alex signs to her dad in sign language. He catches the message and he distracts the two guys with him. Alex climbs out the window and stuns the rat... or Pettigrew. She puts him in her pocket and runs to her friends. She ducks behind the pumpkins as Dumbledore, Fudge and the guy approaches the door. The four friends' runs up the hill and stares at Hagrid's hut, seeing the guy walk to Buckbeak with the axe. Alex closes her eyes as the guy cuts off Buckbeak's head. Just then Alex feels the rat move in her pocket. She pulls it out as she walks away from her friends secretly and Pettigrew bites her. Alex throws Pettigrew's rat form at the Whomping Willow and the tree hits him. Alex stuns the tree and Pettigrew before grabbing him and disappears into the tunnel, but doesn't see Sirus' dog form follow her and her friends see, and them agreeing to follow to save her.

~H&A~

In the Shrieking Shack, Alex hands Pettigrew over to Sirus, who is in his human form. But before he could grab the squirming rat, they hear Harry, Ron and Hermione's voices.

"Crap" Alex mutters as she sits down on the couch in the corner. The door swings open that Sirus has hide in behind, and her friends run in. Alex starts to squeeze the rat making it turn red at the skin. Alex points her wand at it, but Ron runs over and grabs it.

"Why are you hurting Scabbers?" Ron asks.

"He's Pettigrew" Alex snaps and dives for Pettigrew. Pettigrew bites Ron and runs to the door but Sirus slams it close. Pettigrew stops running and turns to his human form. Alex stuns him and Sirus smirks. Just then Lupin runs in.

"Thank you Alex" Lupin and Sirus says at the same time. Alex rolls her eyes and grins.

"You're welcome" Alex hugs them both and hands her wand to Sirus.

"ALEX!" Alex hears Hermione's shocked voice.

"He killed Harry's parents and my mum by turning their whereabouts to Voldemort" Alex snaps looking at her friends, "he killed them, not Sirus. Sirus is innocent and Harry's godfather. He is only trying to save Harry. Get over it!" Alex turns her back to her friends and walks out the door to the secret tunnel, running into Snape on the way. Snape glares at Alex and grabs her arm, dragging her back up.

I'm sorry it's short, but it needs to be. It's a filler for the next one.
