hermione had given you and harry her time time-turner as she stayed by rons side in the infirmary. it was how she had been getting to all her classes this past year. confused initially, you understood how to use it pretty quick.

you saw your past selves (you, ron, hermione, and harry) by the whomping willow being guarded by snape as professor lupin, now in his werewolf form, loomed greatly over you all.

desperately searching your mind, trying to cling onto any usual information which will help you, you remembered that werewolves only answer to their own kind. you howled, loudly at that, and then again. harry grabbed at you, attempted to cover your mouth and stop you. shoving him off, not so roughly, you watched to see if lupin would follow the sound.

and he did.

”didn’t think that through.” harry said before snatching your hand and pulling you away as you both ran deeper into the forest being chased.

hiding behind a tree, yours and harry’s hand was intertwined— gripping on as tightly as you both could out of fear. it was no use, he spotted you. lupin lifted up off his hind legs, revealing his 9 foot self, he seemed to be gearing up to attack.

harry held you, his arms wrapping around your body as you hid within him. facing his back to the werewolf, harry tried to hid and protect you with everything he could do. until a whoosh was heard and a big gust of wind which shook you both. it was buckbeak, guarding you both and scaring off lupin.

”that was so scary.” you whispered as you buried your face into harry’s chest, his arms still holding you so tightly.
