Hogwarts - Forbidden Forest
(Y/n, Harry and Hermione race through the trees as Buckbeak lopes easily behind)
Harry: Now what?
Hermione: We save Sirius.
Y/n: And we do that... how?
Hermione: No idea.
Whomping Willow
(The Whomping Willow is thrashing. Hermione disappears down the hole, then a figure approaches the tree. Lupin)
Hermione: Look. It's Lupin.
(As the Whomping Willow begins to thrash, its violence oddly muted at this distance, Lupin takes a stick, pokes a knot on the trunk. Instantly, the Willow calms)
Y/n: Wait until Fred and George hear about that one.
Hermione: Here comes Snape.
(As Lupin disappears into the gap at the base of the tree, Snape makes his way down the slope)
Harry: And now we wait.
Y/n: Now we wait.
-----Time Skip-----
(The tops of the trees are etched against the darkening sky. Bats fly around when Buckbeak snags one. A tail twitches briefly between his beak, then -- SLURP! -- is gone)
Hermione: 'Least someone's enjoying himself.
Y/n: Let him be, he just got another chance of living.
(Y/n, Harry and Hermione sit together in the lengthening shadows. Y/n snaps off a piece of chocolate, hands it to Hermione)
Harry: Y/n, Hermione...
Hermione: Yes?
Y/n: Hmm?
Harry: Before. Down by the lake. When I was with Sirius... I did see someone... that someone made the Dementors go away...
Hermione: With a Patronus. I heard Snape telling Dumbledore when we were taken to the hospital. According to him, only a really powerful wizard could have conjured it.
Harry: It was my Dad.
(Y/n and Hermione look at Harry)
Harry: It was my Dad who conjured the Patronus.
Hermione: But, Harry, your Dad's...
Harry: Dead. I know. I'm just telling you what I saw.
(Hermione nods, not wanting to press Harry further, Y/n glances beyond the trees, toward the Whomping Willow)
Y/n: Here we come.
(Shadows emerge under a full moon: Black. Harry. Y/n. Pettigrew. Lupin. Hermione. Ron. Sleepwalking Snape... Harry studies himself and Sirius)
Harry: You see Sirius talking to me? He's asking me to come live with him.
Y/n: Really now?
(Harry nods, his voice wistful)
Harry: When we free him, I'll never have to go back to the Dursley's. I'm going to tell him I'd like to live someplace in the country. I think he'd like that, after all those years in Azkaban. We don't need a big place and I can help him...
(A howl pierces the night. Hermione glances toward the Willow)
Hermione: It's happened. Lupin's transformed.
