I ran around the school trying to find Harry. Finally going into the Gryffindor common room to see him, Hermione and Ron talking." She can't be trusted." I hear Hermione say.I get mad and walk to the group. Glaring at her."Harry, Ron, Granger." She knew I was being hostile towards her."Harry please I need your help."They all just look at each other. I could tell Harry had calmed down from before." He wouldn't hurt you Harry I promise. I haven't seen him for 12 years, imagine getting sent to Azkaban for a crime you didn't commit."I didn't realize I said that until I looked up and saw their reactions. They all looked at each other confused."What do you mean a crime he didn't commit?" Harry asked.They all looked at each other waiting for me to answer. I just ignored it." Harry I need your help to find him. Unc- I mean Professor Lupin won't let me see him. He says it's too dangerous with the dementors out.."They all look at each other."What does this have to do with me," Harry says."It doesn't matter Harry, you can't," Hermione says."No ones talking to you Granger." I blurt out.All I see is her glaring at me and Ron laughing."You have the Marauders map, it'll help me find him."Harry sighs."Are you crazy, Harry no," Hermione says.I glare at her."Don't listen to her y/n, her and her cat are both evils."I just look at them confused, waiting for someone to explain."Ron thinks Hermione's cat killed his rat." Harry finally explains." she did.""Oh shut up Ron."They start to argue."A rat," I say disgusted.Hermione laughs for a moment and begins to show me an attitude again. I look at her confused but continue to speak." Just please think about it Harry, right now the map is the only way u can find him."I get up and leave as they all begin to argue. The last thing I hear is Ron saying"Your just mad she doesn't like you."A couple of days passed. Harry finally comes up to me. "Y/N." He shouts in the hall."Hi, Harry.""Meet me in the common room after class."Before I could say anything else Harry walks away. A couple of hours pass and I make my way back to the common room. I see the trio in their usual spot and go to them. To my surprise, Hermione smiles at me." hello y/n," she says.I smile back, " hi Hermione"" looks like the girls are becoming friends," Ron says in a surprised voice. I begin to laugh, seeing Hermione smile."Why am I here Harry.He hands me a piece of blank parchment, placing his wand above it." I solemnly swear that I am up to no good," he says.The parchment begins to reveal itself. I instantly know what it is." we're trusting you," Harry says.I jump up and hug him thanking him." you know our fathers created this map, Moony is uncle Lupin, Padfoot is my dad, and Prongs is yours."Harry smiles, at the knew known fact."and worm tail." He asks.I look up acting confused, lying saying " I don't know."I opened the map trying to find my dad's name. turned the pages to find something I wasn't expecting... Peter Pettigrew. I looked at everyone else who was watching me smile. I hand Harry back the map and run out the common room." did you know uncle Lupin?"He stares at me with a blank expression on his face."Know what, my child.""That he's alive.""Who?"Uncle looked at me confused. He just stood there waiting for me to answer. I began to get impatient. "Peter Pettigrew."He sighed and looked down, trying to avoid my face."I had my suspicions, but never confirmed, why?""Did you know he's here, at Hogwarts?"He looked up at me. His face turned pale as he turned away from me, he paced back and forth confused, finally looking back at me."That's not possible."He looked as if he was going to be sick."Not according to the marauders' map, according to you it's never wrong.""Where is the map right now?""With Harry, of course, I can't believe that ra-."I looked up at him, my face turning blank."What's the matter?""Was he an animagus?""Yes he was, along with your uncle James, and father, they would always go around transforming."I looked at him and quickly left making my way to Hagrids Hut for his class. I was desperately in search of Ron, luckily, he and the trio were together."Y/N where'd you go?" Asked Harry."Oh umm- Professor Lupin- I remembered he needed something."At that moment I realized uncle Lupin needed me. Tonight was the full moon. When he was 4 Lupin had been afflicted with Lycanthropy after being bitten by Fenrir Greyback, a notorious werewolf who preys on children. Ever since then on a full moon, uncle transforms into one himself. I was too busy to realize that tonight he'd be going through the pain. I was busy seeking for my father I failed to realize the one person who was there for me the most, didn't have me at the moment. The feeling of guilt filled my soul that completely. A sad look filled my face. "Y/N" Hermione said making me lose my train of thought. I immediately looked at Ron."Ron how long have you had your rat. "They all looked at me confused"Umm- I don't know.""RON!" I said irritated"Bloody hell y/n- 12 years I think. That's until Hermione's bloody cat killed him."I started to zone out as Hermione and Ron began to argue. Harry just continued to stare at me as he knew I was hiding something."Why are you asking?" He finally said. They all stared at me waiting for an answer."Umm well, I was just trying to make conversation. Having a rat for 12 years I would've thought he'd be dead already. Plus that's weird."Hermione started laughing, while Ron felt attacked. I just sat there looking down trying to sound as convincing as I could."Oh look a filthy mud blood, two orphans, and a bloody Weasley." I looked up to see Draco Malfoy hovering over us laughing. He tried his best to start problems with everyone he sees."And worst of all a Malfoy." I snapped back. As everyone started laughing. Malfoy just stared at us with a frightened look on his face. He slowly began to back away pointing."DEMENTOR, DEMENTOR!" He screamed. The entire class turned around in fear. But nothing was behind us. Harry and I just stared at each other, until we heard Malfoy and his friends laughing. I turned around directing everyone away from Malfoy mocking him, "let's go before his father hears about this." We walked towards Hagrid and his Hippogriff Buckbeak. Malfoy followed behind us shouting."WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU FILTHY LITTLE ORPHAN." he kept on coming closer in a hostile manner. I warned him off telling him not to come any closer. Buckbeak began to get unsettled. He stood up on his hind legs, plowing into Malfoy, who fell onto the ground crying."He's killed me. He's killed me." Malfoy kept screaming. The class laughing at him."His father will hear about this."*********A couple of weeks had passed since the incident. But knowing the Malfoy family they'd stop at nothing until someone gets blamed."Malfoys a prick, he's blaming it all on me.""What will Professor lupin do," Ron asked."Uncle wouldn't let me get in trouble. But I heard buckbeak- umm- they're going to kill him.""WHAT. Poor Hagrid." Hermione said."We need to go see him."Feeling guilty I felt the urge to go, "can I come?" I asked."Sure."I smiled.We walked down to Hagrids hut. As he opened the door I could tell he was crying." I'm sorry Hagrid I didn't mean for this to happen."He smiled as if what I said was something funny. He placed his hand on my shoulder. "It's not your fault, the Malfoys they ought to be taught a lesson."He turned around facing his cupboard."Ron I have something for you."He reached into a box and pulled out something."SCABBERS," Ron screamed in joy.I stared at the rat intensely unaware of how obvious I was making it."What?" Ron asked.I broke my gaze and stared back up. "Oh, nothing it's jus-."I got cut off to the sound of shattered glass. We all turned around to see the vase on the table to be broken.""OW." He said. Hermione looked out to see Dumbledore coming toward the hut with two other people. We quickly exited through the side doors and hid behind giant pumpkins in front of Hagrid's hut. We watched as Dumbledore entered and they began to speak. Hearing a rustling in the trees Hermione quickly turned around."What?" I asked."Nothing I just thought I saw- never mind.""Let's go," Ron said directing us away from the hut.We went closer to the school ground as we watched a man with an ax hit into the ground, and heard crows crying out flying away. Hermione went into Ron's arms crying, as Harry hugged her. I just stood there looking down. Ron looked outwards to see a man walking in near the woods." Is that Professor Lupin?" He said.We all looked up toward him. The trio looked at me for direction on what to do."Let's follow him."
