As far as she was concerned, there was nothing special about Cassidy Winters. She's simply a girl who drinks far too much coffee than she would like to admit and reads books to escape her life as an unwanted orphan. Then, when she appears in a world...

Cassidy's POV:
Hermione snapped her head towards me, "Sid!"
"Sorry! It just slipped out!" I babbled, "I told you that I should have held Scabbers!"
"Scabbers! It's me you idiot! It's Ron!" He hissed at the rat.
Hermione continued to plead Ron to move faster. Peter was squealing wildly and I looked at Ron and yanked the rat out of his hands, holding it tightly in mine.
Ron began to protest until we heard the swish and thud of an axe. Hermione looked as if she may faint.
"They did it! I d-don't believe it! They did it!" she whispered through her tears. She hugged Ron.
They all seemed to have forgotten about the rat while I held it tightly in my left hand, not bothering with whether or not it was hurting. Harry squeezed my hand tighter as we heard Hagrid's crying.
"Hagrid," He muttered. He was about to go back but I pulled on his hand.
"We can't, Harry," I said to him. "He'll just be in more trouble."
We all turned to go back to the castle and I held on tight to Scabbers until he bit me.
"Bloody- Ugh! Stupid rat!" I exclaimed while accidentally dropping Peter.
Then havoc broke loose.
Suddenly Crookshanks was bounding after Scabbers causing Hermione and Harry to try to keep the cat back. The cloak was no longer covering us and we were trying to get Ron to stop chasing Scabbers.
"Gotcha! Get off you stinking cat," Ron yelled as he caught the rat.
I heard the steps of the gigantic paws. Turning my head, I see the black dog over Ron's shoulder.
"Ron, give me Scabbers"
"No!" He argued. "You're insane-"
Sirius sprang towards him. This won't help him look innocent.
Harry and Hermione both yelled, "GUYS!"
Ron was standing up and squeaked as he heard the others call for us.
"Behind you!" They cried.
But Sirius had already grabbed hold of Ron's outstretched arm with his jaw. Harry was about to go forward but I stumbled into him as Padfoot took Ron to the tunnel under the Whomping Willow.
Just as I was regaining my footing, I got him in the stomach. Hard.
My hold on Harry's hand was lost and I fell back, hitting my head to the ground. Stupid tree.
