It was 6 o'clock in the morning, the castle of Hogwarts was filled with silence. The chirping of birds could be heard, the coolness in the air could arouse goosebumps on anyone. The silence seemed like it was indicating the calm before the storm.
But a storm had already been passed last night. Only a few people were the witness to that, and those who witnessed it were now not in their best conditions.
Half of them got a trip to the hospital wing and the other half went to the forbidden forest. Whereas a black cloaked man was running here there in the castle restless. The hospital wing whenever filled was usually a chaotic place but right now it held a tranquil silence.
Madam pomphrey's new patients were sound asleep. She had to keep an eyes on her both patients the whole night who were badly injured due to the incidents that occured last night, which caused her drift into sleep in her desk. On the middle of lane of beds in the room layed Ronald weasley, his leg bandaged, and bushy haired girl who had her head on Ronald's bed and his hand clasped in her hand. One could tell by seeing them this way that they were together, which was not true, yet. On Ronald's left side layed Amelia black.
The bruises of her face recovered a lot but not completely. Her upper body still bandaged. The cool breeze of early december caused the windows to flutter open and let itself in. Everyone in the room shivered and shrank to their positions. Madam pomphrey was awoke by the wind, rubbing her eyes she stood up to look at her patients and close the windows and exited from the door of the hospital wing to maybe have breakfast?
Amelia was still asleep, she tried to stir in her unconscious state because of the cold, to feel some warmth. The tiniest of the movement caused her immense pain, she grunted loudly causing the other two to wake up. She felt extremely cold and shivered with her eyes still closed. Hermione granger been woken up saw what was happening on the other bed. But first she saw where her hand were, blushing she pulled her hands back not bothering to glance at ronald who himself had his cheeks pink. She got up and went towards Amelia's bed and cover her with a duvet. Amelia furrowed her eyebrows in pain still in sleep, hermione granger noticed it and soothed her hair trying to calm her.
" Shh Amelia its okay, up can wake up" Hermione cooed in her morning voice. Amelia tried to stir but couldnt. Upon hearing the sound, she tried to open her eyes slowly. First thing she saw was a high ceiling, it was hospital wing, she instantly got it. She was then hit was the most horrible headache. Moving her hands towards her head, she felt the bones in her hand make cracking sound. That was the worst pain she ever experienced, hermione quickly shoved her hands lightly back.
Amelia saw looking down on herself that she was covered in bandages, and was wearing a ridiculous gown. She moved her eyes beside her and saw ronald his one leg bandaged handing, then she turned her eyes to hermione who had dark circles under her eyes and was extremely pale. 'What the fudge happened' she thought to herself. And then she remembered the events of last night.
" Oh my merlin" she mutter in her raspy voice, hermione dragged her chair between ron and Amelia's bed and sat down.
"Where is Harry?" Ron asked. Both the girl's eyes widened. They remembered Harry went after sirius in the forbidden forest, god knows what happened to him.
" I just hope he didnt die or did anything for getting expelled" hermione said worried. Ron and Amelia rolled their eyes together.
Then the door of the hospital wing opened, the three housemates waited for the person to step in, it was the chosen one. He looked he had to face snape the whole night.
"Congrats Harold you are alive lets see if you are expelled or not" Amelia said with a smirk. The trio glared at her, even with her half broken body she was not leaving her sarcasm.
" Where were you Harry" hermione demanded. Harry explained everything. Soon dumbledore came and they had a little chat. Hermione came up with an idea. She dug into her pockets and took out a pocket watch? No its was a time turner Amelia recognised it immediately as her uncle taught her everything since childhood, she was known to everything in the wizarding world.
" Wait what the heck are you going to do" Amelia asked confused.
" Harry and i are going back in time to make things right" hermione replied to which Harry and Ronald remained oblivious.
" Why only harold and you, i will also come" Amelia said trying to sit up but failed.
" Sorry we cant carry a 90 kg girl on our backs, we have some tasks to do" hermione said annoyed to which Amelia gawked furiously.
" i am just 50 kg and i will go this matter concerns my family and you guys cannot stop me " she said glaring the bushy haired girl
" Listen Amelia you can barely stand i dont think its the right choice you are making" harry said calmly much to everyone's surprise.
" Amelia leave it, they dont want more trouble" ron piped in, causing Amelia to throw glared At him.
" Listen Harold either you take me with you or you wont find you friend ronald still breathing when you return" Amelia threatened to which ron made the most horrified face.
" Take her harry, take her away". Ron gulped and pleaded to which Amelia smirked.
" Help me up and see i can stand and even do gymnastics " Amelia said gesturing them to come over her.
" Stubborn little girl" hermione muttered in her way towards Amelia.
" Who made me wear these awful clothes." She asked disgusted.
" Madam pomphrey" hermione replied.
" Are you seriously going to go with those clothes on" harry asked eyeing her up and down.
" No, ronald take off your jumper" she commanded making ron scowl, harry nodded towards his friends direction. Ron reluctantly gave his jumper to Amelia. Amelia picked her leggings up which were laying besides her bed with a blood stained top. ' i lost too much blood' she thought to herself.
" Dont you have manners to turn around when a lady is changing, you too granger" Amelia huffed, the trio turned around. She quickly wore her leggings but was facing problems with the jumper.
"Do you need help" hermione called from her shoulder, not turning back.
" No thanks, i am capable of doing everything on my own" Amelia replied while struggling with the jumper.
" Stubborn bitch" hermione muttered for her friends to hear, who both had a smirk on their face and giving knowing looks to each other. Hermione granger who never curses was now cursing her heart out in last few days.
" Are you done" harry called inpatient.
" Yes harold" amelia said moving towards them.
They both turned around and hermione quickly put the chain of around the three of them.
" I know how to use, let me do it" Amelia said reaching out for the time turner in hermione's hands with hermione quickly slapped away and said.
" Its mine and only i will do it" hermione hissed with her eyes focused on the time turner in her hand.
"Bitch" Amelia muttered glaring Hermione to which returned with same intensity.
" Be safe" was the last thing they heard from ron when they saw their surrounding changing rapidly. They were still in the hospital wing just in different time. The three ran out towards Hagrid's hut as quickly as possible. They in their way saw the trio talking to draco more like listening him teasing them.
They saw hermione become very furious and smack draco across the face. Amelia felt like she was hallucinating but it was real when she pinched herslef.
" That was really good" harry said complementing Hermione.hermione blushed and turned to see Amelia's reaction, she feared she would smack her right away for punching her cousin. Amelia noticed what she was thinking, so she said
" Dont worry he deserved it" Amelia said to hermione making sure she didnt give the bushy haired girl the satisfaction of complement from her. Amelia had to admit that the punch was awesome but she saved it to herself. After watching the whole scene they marched towards buckbeak, Amelia was feeling immense pain but hse didnt let herself show it.
As dumbledore said an innocent life could be saved, they marched towards buckbeak who was sitting between the large pumpkins still chained waiting to be executed. They hid behind the bushes from where they could see the past Amelia entering Hagrid's hut. Then shortly after they saw the golden trio enter it.
Harry, Hermione and Amelia could see from far away a small crowd coming towards Hagrid's hut. It was dumbledore with the minister and the executioner. They had to bring their other selves out of the hut. Hermione quickly thought of an idea and picked up a small pebble and threw inside the hut from the window which hit Amelia's head.
" It was you, that hurt bitch" Amelia hissed to hermione, to which Harry chuckled.
" What you laughing at? Wait" Amelia glared at harry and then picked up a pebble and threw which hit harry very hard.
" That caused a bump in My head you know" Harry gasped, showing the girls a small bump in the back of his head, causing Amelia to snigger.
" Wait" Harry said finding a small pebble and throwing inside the hut which smashed the vase on the table.
" Aww poor harold missed it, have a bad eyesight do you?" Amelia mocked causing Harry to glare at her more intensely. By the time dumbledore with the other two had come at Hagrid's hut. They saw the four people come out from the back door and his behind the bushes just in front of them.
" Is this really how my hair looks from the back" Hermione said furrowing her eyebrows
" Yes they many times remind me to tell you to carry a comb" Amelia said nodding.
" Yes, i indeed should carry a comb, do you also carry a comb" hermione said curiously.
" No, you can see my hair are perfect, look they are shining and have the perfect volume" Amelia said.
" Yess" hermione said her gaze moving from her hair to Amelia's Hair. Harry who was watching both the girls go completely off the topic muttered 'girls' and rolled his eyes.
Then they saw their other selves and ronald run faraway on the top of the hill. They quickly took it as a chance to go near buckbeak and out chain him.
" Come on buckbeak, lets go" Amelia cooed while patting the hippogriff. Harry was pulling the chain harshly to which buckbeak didnt respond at all, hermione was clapping and waving to gather the creatures attention and bring him towards them. Then amelia got hit with an idea.
"You both are complete idiots" Amelia said bringing dead crows and throwing them one by kne towards buckbeak who got up followed them.
Then when deep inside the forest. Harry remembered what he might be happening on the top of the hill if they didnt rescue buckbeak. Harry shook his head and moved forwards while glancing at Amelia.
" Why is the chosen one blushing, is he in love with buckbeak" Amelia thought to herself curiously.
Then they all reached at the shrieking shack and saw their other selves go inside it. Firstly ronald was dragged by snuffles then harry hermione and Amelia were blown inside by the furiously dancing branches. Then after some time they saw remus lupin go inside followed by snape shortly. Harry said he wanted to show them somthing so he dragged all of them inside the forest again. They reached somewhere near a lake and Harry started explaining what happened to him when he was there last night, he said he saw his father, who dies years ago .
" No Harry this cant be possible" hermione said again and again. Harry lost his temper and bursted out on hermione Amelia was watching the show intently, feeling the absence of popcorn.
" Calm down Harold, lets see what you saw look" Amelia said as they all saw several dementors arise from the lack, sirius black was unconscious on the ground besides him harry was going to get a dementor kiss.
" See now my father will come here and he will cast the patronous charm and save me" Harry said excitedly. But no one came, Harry on the other side of lake seemed like most of life had been sucked out
" No one is going to come Harold, you have to save yourself" Amelia said worried with furrowed brows . Harry nodded realising everything. He casted a patronous charm and a beautiful stag come out of the tip of his wand. The stag emitted so much light that was enough for the dementors to go away.
" Now i get it, it was not my father, it was me myself, " harry said looking down but still a bit happy. They all ran again to find where Amelia's father went.
" Maybe i know hop on" harry said patting on buckbeak gesturing the girls to sit. He seated himself in the front, hermione in the middle and Amelia behind her, hermione's bushy hair flying in Amelia's mouth.
" Tie your bloody hair granger" Amelia hissed.
They all reached god knows where, inside a cave like structure they found sirius black sitting and shivering
" Good lord" Amelia gasped at the sight of her father. Sirius abruptly stood up and went towards them.
" Harry Amelia what are you doing here how you came here" Sirius launched question at them. " Amelia look at yourself, why did you came in this state, you could have gotten hurt sweetie" sirius said examining his daughter causing her to melt right there, but she composed herself and said in a firm to but with soft eyes.
" I came for you" sirius's lips tugged upwards, he ruffled her hair.
" We have a place to take you, where you' ll be safe come " Amelia said bringing her father dragging him towards buckbeak. Sirius widened his eyes
" What-how we will go on this " sirius croaked.
" Yes i know how ride buckbeak" Amelia said proudly. Sirius chuckled.
" Yes i remembered when you told me about it" sirius said patting buckbeak, Amelia made a perplexed face.
" When did i-" Amelia started but then it clicked her when sirius gave her the knowing look. " Yes, yes how could i forget you snuffles" Amelia said laughing followed by sirius's laugh. Both Harry and Hermione held an oblivious look on their faces, Amelia who noticed them answered to their confusion.
" to ease your confusion Harold i must tell you, unknowingly i have been meeting your godfather since few months, in his dog form" Amelia said sarcastically in a posh tone.
" Why i am not surprised" Hermione muttered gaining narrow eyes from Amelia.
" What - now go on, i'll stay here, be quick" Hermione said.
" What you will not come" harry asked hermione.
" Harry this is a hipporgriff not a bus, you three should go" hermione said.
" Okay come on" said sirius, Amelia reluctantly moved forward. Sirius helped her up on buckbeak, behind her sat sirius and harry behind him.
" Are you sure granger you dont want to come, we can make some space for you, its also very spooky here" Amelia said making sure not to show how worried she was to leave hermione there.
" I'll be fine Amelia" Hermione reassured with a slight smile.
" If you say so, you have your wand with you right, and dont go anywhere, stay hidden, wait for us" Amelia rambled. Harry and sirius chuckled at her instincts, whereas Hermione was surprised.
" Okay mom now go" hermione said rolling her eyes, unable to hide her smile.
" They both always have their wands at each other's throats all the time and now look they are behaving like sisters " Harry muttered in sirius's ear earning a chuckle from his godfather.
Leaving Hermione there they all flied to lupin's cottage, Amelia always had the spare key, she wore it in her locket. Lupin's cottage was weary but it was safe as mankind couldnt be anywhere near it. Reaching there they told sirius to that when they reach Hogwarts they will send buckbeak back and he must take care of him.
" Its a goodbye i guess" sirius said looking little said. Bringing both his children in a embrace, much to Amelia's disappointment.
" We will meet soon" Amelia said trying to hold her tears.
" Okay now go before i cry like a baby in front of you both" sirius joked trying to ease the moment making the other two laugh.
Harry and Amelia reached to where they left Hermione, they all fled to hogwarts. Reaching their they told buckbeak to go back to lupin's cottage where sirius was. Buckbeak was an intelligent and obidient animal so there was no difficulty for him go back to sirius. The three gryffindors now ran to their lives back inside the hogwarts castle. Reaching the hospital wing just on time they caught their breaths where they found dumbledore just leaving.
" We did it professor" Harry said happily panting.
" Did what" dumbledore shrugged, the three gryffindors shared looks when dumbledore left like nothing happened. They all shrugged it off and went inside the infirmary.
" Thank god you all came back, i was starting to get worried." Ron said.
" Amelia you should change quick, you dont want madam pomphrey to burst out on you" Hermione said. Amelia nodded and went to change. Hermione and harry took their leaves and ronald drifted to sleep. Wearing hearing awful hospital gown again Amelia felt something in its pocket she reached to take that out. It was a parchment and a chocolate frog. There was something written on it.
~get well soon my fighter plane you have to support me in a match~.

'Support in the match? Who might this be? Oh my gosh! Its him! Did he also see me in this awful gown! You are destroyed Amelia.'. Amelia thought to herself.
