Great Hall, Hogwarts, 8:00 AM, Y/N's POV
Harry walked up to us and sat next to me. I giggled. "Stop!" Harry said as his cheeks turned a bright red. "What's going on? What are you guys giggling about?" Ron demanded. "Isn't it obvious, Ron? Y/N caught Harry m-" Harry and I glared at Hermione. "Talking to himself." She said, winking at me. I spoke to Harry in Parseltongue, wanting to conceal what I was really saying. 'We can't keep him in the dark about everything. He's your best mate. Why can't we just tell him?'  'Because, I don't think my best mate would fancy a conversation about how you caught me wanking.'  I laughed. "Why are you speaking to each other in Parseltongue? What are you hiding?" "Do you really want to know?" I asked. "Yes. Maybe. I don't know." "Don't tell him!" Harry snapped. "Okay, okay." I caved. "But I want to know!" "Sorry, doctor's orders." I said, leaning my head on Harry's shoulder.

Hogwarts Grounds, Hogwarts, 9:30 AM, Harry's POV

"Beautiful day." Hermione said. "Gorgeous. Unless, of course, you've been ripped to pieces." Ron quipped.  Y/N and I shared a confused glance. "Ripped to pieces? What's he talking about?" I queried. "Ronald has lost his rat." "I haven't lost anything. Your cat killed him!" "Rubbish." I pulled Y/N to the side. Ron looked back at us. "Are you two coming?" "We'll catch up." I looked up at her. "I really want to talk to you about what happened last night." She breathed a sigh of relief. "I do too." She replied. "I really am sorry. I hope this doesn't change anything between us." I said. "It's okay, Harry. I actually feel that way about you too," She said, rubbing the back of her neck. "But don't get any ideas." She laughed. "I want to wait at least a year. We're still so young." "Okay. I agree. Why don't we catch up with Ron and Hermione?" I said, grabbing her hand. We walked down the path until we found Ron and Hermione. "Hey, guys." I greeted them. We strolled until we found the clearing where we knew Hagrid would be.

Hogwarts Grounds, Hogwarts, 9:45 AM, Harry's POV 

"How'd it go, Hagrid? The hearing?" Hermione asked as Hagrid skipped rocks across the lake. "Well, first off, the committee took turns talking about why we were there. And then I got up, id my piece, said how Buckbeak was a good hippogriff. Always cleaned his feathers. And then, Lucius Malfoy got up, you can imagine he said, 'Buckbeak was a deadly and dangerous creature who would kill you as soon as he looked at you.'" "And then?" Y/N asked. "And then he asked for the worst, Lucius. Buckbeak's been sentenced to death." Hagrid began to choke up. "Oh, I'm so sorry, Hagrid. Is there anything we could do?" Y/N asked. "No. They would never listen to a couple of kids like yourselves. Thank you, though, Y/N. You three should get going. You probably have better things to do than sit here and watch me cry." He laughed. "Are you sure? We could stay with you if you want." Hermione suggested. "No, it's alright. Go on." We left the clearing and walked out through the forest. "I'm gonna fucking kill Malfoy." Y/N said through gritted teeth. "Calm down, Y/N. Why don't we go back to the castle and lie down?" I proposed. "Okay. You two fine here? You won't kill each other?" Y/N looked towards Ron and Hermione. "Perhaps. Can't make any promises." Hermione shot a disapproving glance in Ron's direction. "Alright, then. Come on, Y/N." I grabbed her hand and walked her towards the castle.

Girls Dormitories, Hogwarts, 10:00 AM, Y/N's POV

I climbed into the bed with Harry. "You seem really tense lately, Y/N." Harry said as he stroked my hair. "I'm just really stressed about everything. With having to keep us a secret from everybody, and Sirius Black on the loose, and just everything going on, it's just all so much." "Well you don't need to be stressed anymore. I'm here for you, baby." Harry whispered in my ear. "Baby? That's the first time you've called me that." "Do you like it?" "I love it. Baby." I said as I drifted off into slumber.

Hi lovelies! I'm sorry it took me so long to get this chapter out. This chapter was also a bit short, because I'm not coming up with a lot of ideas. I just haven't been able to find much time to write. I don't really have any news for you other than to be patient, because chapters might be coming out at a bit slower rate now. Happy reading!
