Hermione wrapped the time turner around herself, Aurora and Harry. She twisted the knob in the side three times and went back in time. Only by a few hours but back in time none the less.
Hermione took the time turner back "what just happened?" Harry asked but both Hermione and Aurora ignored him "7:30" Aurora said "where were we at 7:30?"
"Going to Hagrids?" Harry said "come on. And we can't be seen" Hermione told Harry before the two girls dragged him from the infirmary. The trio then went running through Hogwarts.
───･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
"Hermione, Aurora, will you please tell me what it is we're doing?" Harry asked. The three were now at the spot where they had first seen Malfoy.
They heard Hermione exclaim about Draco being a cockroach. Harry wouldn't stop asking questions "you deal with him, I'll keep an eye out" Hermione told Aurora.
Aurora pushed Harry up against a stone wall "that neck was a time turner, Harry. McGonagall gave it to Hermione first term. This is how she's been getting to her lessons all year" she explained
"You mean we've got back in time?" Harry asked "yes" Aurora replied "Dumbledore obviously wanted us to return to this moment. Clearly something happened he wants us to change"
Aurora and Harry turned back to Hermione just in time to watch Aurora punch Malfoy in the face for the fourth time that year. "Good punch" Harry said "thanks, I think it's one of my better ones" Aurora grinned.
"Malfoy's coming" Hermione said and she, Aurora and Harry jumped through a side window and onto the grass, careful not to be seen. They walked in crouched positions until they got to the massive rocks, where they hid. "Buckbean's still alive" harry said
"No shit" Aurora said
"Remember What Dumbledore said?" Hermione asked "if we succeed, more than one innocent life could be spared. Let's go" They ran towards the stack of pumpkins that they hid behind earlier in the day. They saw Dumbledore, fudge and the executioner in the distance once again "here they come. I'd better hurry" Harry said.
Aurora and Hermione pulled Harry down "Fudge has to see Buckbeak before we steal him" Aurora said and Hermione nodded in agreement "otherwise, he'll think Hagrid set him free".
Harry went to get Pettigrew from inside Hagrids hut but Hermione pulled him down once again "Harry, your in Hagrids hut now. If you go bursting in, you'll think you've gone mad. Awful things happen to wizards who meddle with time" Hermione exclaimed "we cant be seen"
The trio turned to look at Dumbledore, Fudge and the executioner "Fudge is coming" Aurora told them, she looked back into the hut "and we aren't leaving?" she questioned "why aren't we leaving?". Hermione looked down onto one of the pumpkins and saw a familiar pebble; it was the one the vase was hit with earlier
Hermione picked it up as Aurora and Harry kept watch. she then hurled it through the window and the three ducked behind the pumpkins "are you mad?" Harry questioned rhetorically. Hermione then threw another pebble and this time it hit the back of Aurora's head. Aurora rubbed the sore spot that had appeared again when the stone hit past her's head.
"That hurt" she told Hermione "sorry" Hermione gave her an apologetic smile. The trio watched as past them exited Hagrid's hut "we're coming out the backdoor. Go!" Aurora ushered her friends into a small forest. There, they hid behind tree's which were relatively close to the pumpkins but far enough away so they wouldn't be seen.
Once past them had gone, the three moved out from behind their trees and back behind the pumpkins. "who's grabbing Buckbeak then?" Aurora asked. Hermione instantly shook her head and Harry avoided her eyes "fine" Aurora rolled her eyes "good luck" Harry whisper-yelled behind her. Aurora stuck her finger up at him and continued walking to Buckbeak.
She kept herself low, trying desperately not to be seen. A crow began attacking her feet "bugger off" she scolded, the crow ignored her "have it your way" she shrugged, she the kicked the crow away from herself, obviously not to hard but hard enough so it would leave her alone.
Aurora bowed to Buckbeak as she inched closer, Buckbeak bowed back. Aurora began undoing Buckbeak's chain. Another crow was pursed on top of the of the post the chain was attached to. It nipped at Aurora's fingers "bloody birds" she hissed.
She pulled the chain from the loop and gently yanked on it "hey, Buckbeak" she began "you need to come with us, now" she pulled harder on his chain but Buckbeak just wouldn't budge. Hermione and Harry were now behind Aurora as she attempted to get Buckbeak to go with them.
Hermione seemed to be the one with the brain in that moment as she gathered a bunch of dead ferrets and lured Buckbeak away fro the hut. Every few steps Buckbeak took, Hermione would throw him a ferret.
Dumbledore, Fudge and the executioner all stepped out of Hagrid's hut. Aurora, Hermione and Harry froze. Hermione snapped out of it and held out a ferret in front of herself to get Buckbeak to continue walking.
The trio watched Fudge tell Dumbledore to search the grounds for Buckbeak. His face was priceless.
It was beginning to get darker as the got further into the forest. Hermione was down to two ferrets so she held them out in front of her whilst Aurora held the chain and Harry followed. Hermione dropped the two ferrets and Aurora let go of Buckbeak's chain "what now?" Harry asked
