Y/Ns POV

The next morning, our classes began. The four of us walked into the Great Hall for breakfast to find Malfoy entertaining a group of other Slytherins by doing an impression of Harry passing out on the train.

Hilarious.

"Hey Potter! Potter!" Malfoy called from across the tables. "The dementors are coming Potter!" He then dramatically fell into Carolyn Bitterwoods arms as his henchmen laughed. Pansy and a few other Slytherin's didn't seem to think it was funny.

Harry frowned as we made our way over to the Gryffindor table to find a few open seats next to Fred and George.

A/N: Putting a gif of the twins because why not?

"New third year timetables," George said as he handed them over. "What's up with you, Harry?"

"Malfoy." Ron answered for him as we all took a glance over to the Slytherin table just in time to see another impression of Harry's accident.

"Little git." George said. "He wasn't so corky last night when the dementors were down our end of the train. Came running into our compartment, didn't he Fred?"

"Nearly wet himself." Fred said, while rubbing his eyes, faking tears of joy.

"I wasn't too happy myself. They're horrible things, those Dementors..."

"Sort of freeze your insides, don't they."

"I'm sure you didn't pass out though." I said despondently, recalling my accident with the Dementors.

"Just forget it guys." George advised. "Dad had to go out to Azkaban one time, remember Fred? And he said it was the worst place he'd ever been. He came back all weak and shaking....they suck the happiness out of a place, Dementors. Most of the prisoners go mad there."

"Anyways, we'll see how happy Malfoy looks after our first Quidditch match," Fred said. "Gryffindor vs Slytherin, first game of the season."

That made me feel a bit better. We were looking pretty good for Quidditch this year.

Laura's POV

As me and Ashley walked into the Great Hall for breakfast this morning, we noticed that the Hufflepuff table was completely brimmed for some reason, so we would have to find seats at another table.

"You know we could just get food and go back to the common room?" Ashley said. She was always a bit shy around other people. It was her second year, but she was still a bit nervous.

"Don't worry Ash, we'll be fine." I said while scanning the other tables in search of a spot.

Eventually, we found a few spots right at the Gryffindor table. Right next to Y/N L/N, Harry Potter, and the rest of their friends.

Y/Ns POV

Me, Harry, and the Weasleys continued to talk about Quidditch while Hermione pretended to be interested in the conversation. Until we were met with the presence of a familiar face. Laura Bennett.

"Hi Y/N!" Laura said as she sat down with who I assumed was one of her friends. "It's wonderful to see you again."

"It's nice to see you too Laura." I said.

"This is my best friend Ashley Zermeno, she's a second year Hufflepuff."

"H-Hi." Ashley stuttered. "Would you like a cookie?"

She then held out a giant bag of cookies.

"Don't mind if I do." Ron said as he took a few and shoved his face with them.

We continued talking to Laura and Ashley throughout breakfast. I noticed that Ron and Harry could not take their eyes off of her the entire time, Ron especially. He was even blushing and stuttering at the same time.

I think he may fancy her.

After breakfast, we all left the Great Hall and out into the hallway, where me and Hermione broke off from the group and went into a broom closet. She pulled the time turner from her pocket and wrapped it around our necks.

"Ready?" She asked me.

"You bet."

Throughout the day, me and Hermione went back in time by five minutes to go to Divination, Muggle Studies, Ancient Ruins, and Arthmancy. I took the time turner at a separate time to go to my magical training.

Honestly, Dumbledore took it easy on me and just reviewed basic things. Such as, defensive spells, jinxes and all that. After that, I met back up with Hermione and we went forward in time to meet up with Harry and Ron.

"Welcome my children." Professor Trelawney appeared from nowhere. "In this room, you shall explore the noble art of Divination. In this room...you shall discover the sight. I am Professor Trelawney and together, we shall cast ourselves into the future. This term, we'll be focusing on Tasseomancy, the art of reading tea leaves. So please, take the cup of the person sitting opposite of you."

Each of us grabbed a cup that was around us and partnered up. Since I was sitting next to Hermione, she partnered up with me.

"What do you see?" Trelwaney said. "The truth lies buried like a sentence deep within a book, waiting to be read. But first, you must broaden your minds. First you must look beyond!"

"What a load of bullshit." I said to Hermione, which got Harry and Ron's attention as they looked at us.

"Where did you two come from?" Ron asked rashly.

"We've been here the whole time." Hermione said as she smirked at me.

"You, boy." Professor Trelawney said to Neville, who looked with curiosity. "Is your grandmother quite well?"

"I think so?" Neville said.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that." She said to Neville. "Look at your cups! Tell me what you see!"

Hermione nodded at me as i gave her my cup. "According to this." She said as she looked in her book. "You have a skull, which means you'll have some danger in your path.."

Wonderful.

"But there is also a sun, which means great happiness will come in your life. And there's a ring, so you'll be happily married at a young age. You'll be with who you love most." She said as she blushed.

So I guess that means I'll have some danger to overcome before I can live happily. Brilliant.

"Let look at yours." I said as reached for her cup. "Wow, I may be wrong about this, but we have the exact same signs and everything."

"Strange."

Before we could both look into it, Trelawney came over to Harry and Ron. "What do you see?" She asked the two boys.

"Oh, yeah, uh...." Ron said as he looked into Harry's cup. "Well Harry's got a wonky cross. There's trials and suffering. And that there could be the sun and that's happiness. So....you're going to suffer, but.....feel happy about it?"

What?

Trelawney did not look pleased at all with that description. "Give me the cup." She instructed as she took it from Ron. "Oh my dear boy. My dear...you have the Grim!"

"The Grin?" Harry asked. "What's the Grin."

"Not the Grin idiot." Hermione said. "The Grim."

"Taking the form of a giant spectral dog. It's among the darkest omens in our world. It's an omen....of death!" Professor Trelawney said aloud.

Lovely.

———————————————————————————

"You don't think the Grim has anything to do with Sirius Black?" Ron asked as we exited the Astronomy Tower on our way to Hagrid's first lesson.

"Ron it's probably all bullshit." I said. "Minus the skull, I actually liked what I saw in my cups. Trelawney just had to announce a Grim could be after Harry."

Although, the creature me and Harry saw the night we left the Dursley's did look similar to the Grim in the cup...

"Divination is a wooly subject." Hermione said. "Now Ancient Ruins, that's a fascinating subject. Right, Y/N?"

"Agreed Mione."

"Ancient Ruins?" Ron asked. "Exactly how many classes are you two taking?"

"A fair few." Hermione answered.

"That's not possible!" Ron said. "Ancient Ruins is in the same time as Divination! You can't be in two classes at once!"

Me and Hermione smirked at each other. "Ron, don't concern yourself with me and Hermione's lives. We get the work from those classes and make notes on it."

"Broaden your minds." Hermione mocked Trelawney.

"Use the inner eye." I continued swaying my hands around.

As we arrived, the other Gryffindors and Slytherins were already there. Lavender and Pavarti were making very weird looks at me, along with some other girls. Everyone was staring at me so much, which caused Hermione to grab ahold of my arm and pull me out of their sight.

"That's it." Hagrid said as we came closer. "Come on now, you lot. Come closer. Less talking, if you don't mind. I've got a real treat for you today!"

Now I'm really excited for what he's going to show us.

Hermione must have noticed my ebullient behavior. She giggled and took my hand causing both of us to blush.

"Right, you lot." Hagrid continued. "Less chattering. Form a group over there and open your books to page 49."

"How?" Malfoy beckoned.

"Has nobody been able to open their books?" Hagrid asked with a hint of disappointment. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

"Yeh've got tee stroke 'em. Look..."

Hagrid took Harry's book, which was belted shut, took the belt and laid the book down in his hands. He then ran his finger along the spine of the book. The book shivered and laid flat in his hand.

"Oh, how silly we've all been!" Malfoy exclaimed. "We should have stroked them! Why didn't we guess!"

"I...I thought they were funny," Hagrid said with uncertainly.

"They were funny Hagrid." I said as the four of us nodded.

"Oh, tremendously funny! Really witty, giving us books that try and rip our hands off!"

"Shut up Draco." Said a Slytherin with black hair.

"Oh piss off Rosewood." Draco sneered at him.

Rosewood then nodded towards us as if he was saying "don't thank me."

"Righ' then, Hagrid said. "So...so yeh got yer books an'....an'...now yeh need the Magical Creatures. Yeah. So I'll go and get 'em. Hang on..."

Hagrid's first day teaching and of course Malfoy has to ruin it.

"God, this place is going to the dogs." Malfoy said loudly. "That oaf teaching classes, my father will have a fit when I tell him—"

"Shut up Malfoy!" Harry ordered. But instead of listening, Draco and his henchmen started teasing Harry about the train.

"Careful Potter, there's a dementor behind you-"

"Careful Malfoy," I said. "There's some hair conditioner behind you."

The Gryffindors and a few Slytherins along with Rosewood and Pansy roared with laughter as Malfoy turned red with anger.

Hagrid then came out of the woods with an animal, although it wasn't just any animal. It was a Hippogriff. I read about them during my own time and I thought they were fascinating creatures.

"Isn't he beautiful? Say hello to Buckbeak!"

A/N: We also stan Buckbeak

Everyone backed away from Buckbeak for their own safety. Hermione put her hand on my wrist and intertwined our fingers together. I gave her a kind smile as we held hands.

"First thing you wanna know about Hippogriffs is that they're very proud creatures." Hagrid said. "Very easily offended. You do not want to insult a hippogriff. It may be the last thing you ever do. Now, who'd like to come and say hello?"

Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle clearly weren't listening to Hagrid. Most likely planning to distrust the lesson by any means necessary.

Everyone except me and Harry backed away from the Hippogriff. Hermione tried to pull me back towards the class.

"I'll be careful Mione, I promise."

"Please be careful Y/N." She said.

"Always."

As Harry and I were a couple of feet away from Buckbeak. "Now you both have to let him make the first move. It's only polite." Hagrid instructed us as I went first.

Buckbeak took a couple of steps towards me. "So...step up. Give him a nice bow. Then you wait and see if he bows back. If he does, you can go and touch him."

I did exactly what I was supposed to do and Buckbeak came closer to me. I felt his head closer to mine and bowed down.

"Well done Y/N!" Hagrid said as everyone applauded. "Well done!"

I went back towards the class right next to Hermione and held her hand as Harry took his turn with Buckbeak.

Harry's POV

After Y/Ns turn with Buckbeak, I was next in line.

"Easy now, Harry. Yeh've got eye contact, now try not ter blink....Hippogriffs don't trust yeh if yeh blink too much..."

I held back the need to blink. The temptation was real, but I held myself together as I locked eyes with Buckbeak.

"That's it....that's it, Harry....now bow..."

I bowed down low, but to my surprise, the Hippogriff didn't move.

"Ah, right....back away, now, Harry, easy does it..."

I backed away slowly and heard a loud snap beneath my feet.

I had stepped on a twig.

"Stop! Stay still, Harry....do not move..."

Buckbeak then moved towards me and went to the ground in a deep bow.

"Well done, Harry! Well done! Right....yeh can touch him now! Pat his beak, go on."

I moved towards Buckbeak and ran my hand smoothly over his beak. Buckbeak leaned his head into my hand as it closed its eyes.

The class broke out in applause. With Y/N, Hermione, and Ron's being the loudest.

Hagrid looked back at us as I moved back. "How am I doing on me first day?" He asked.

"Brilliant Professor!" I said.

But a certain blonde idiot had to ruin everything. Again.

Y/Ns POV

"Yes, you're not dangerous at all, are you!" Malfoy shouted. "You great, ugly brute."

Literally the one thing you don't want to do to a Hippogriff is insult one.

Before anyone could react, Buckbeak had slashed at Draco knocking him over to the ground. He screamed as Hagrid wrestled Buckbeak to calm him down.

"It's killed me!" Malfoy moaned in pain. "It's killed me!"

"If Buckbeak really killed you then we wouldn't be hearing you bitch." I said. "What a shame."

"Hagrid!" Hermione shouted. "He needs to be taken to the hospital!"

"I'm the teacher. I'll do it. Class dismissed!"

"My father will hear about this!" Malfoy shouted as Hagrid carried him to the Hospital Wing.

Hagrid is in big trouble.

———————————————————————————

The next day at Breakfast, Malfoy seemed to be enjoying the vast amount of attention he was receiving after Hagrid's class.

"Does it hurt terribly Draco?" Carolyn Bitterwood asked him as she was the closest one to him.

"It comes and goes." He said. "Still I consider myself lucky. Madam Pomfrey said another minute and I could've - I could've lost my arm. I can't do homework for weeks."

"Listen to the idiot." Ron said. "He's really laying it on thick, isn't he?"

"At least Hagrid wasn't fired." Harry added.

"Yes but I hear Draco's father is furious." Hermione said.

"This is not going to turn out well." I said.

"He's been sighted!" A student said loudly through the Great Hall. "He's been sighted!"

"Who?" Hermione asked.

"Sirius Black!" He said while throwing us an issue of the Daily Prophet.

"Dufftown?" I said as me and Hermione finished reading it. "That's not far from here. You don't think he'd come to Hogwarts, do you?"

"With the dementors everywhere?" Ron said. "He's done that at Azkaban, what's to say he won't do it again?"

After that, we got ready for classes. Me and Hermione went to classes with the Time Turner ready at every time the class ended. Eventually, it was time for Defense Against the Dark Arts with Professor Lupin. A class I'm pretty excited about. We popped in just before anyone noticed.

Professor Lupin stood in very shabby clothes in front of what looked like a broom closet. "Would anyone like to venture a guess..." He said. "As to what's inside?"

"That's a boggart, that is." Seamus answered.

"Very good, Mr. Finnegan." Professor Lupin said. "Now can anyone tell me what a boggart looks like?"

"No one knows." Me and Hermione answered quickly to Ron and Harry's surprise. "When they'd get here?" Ron asked Harry.

"Don't worry about it." Hermione said.

"Boggart's are shape-shifters." Y/N said. "They take the shape of whatever a person fears the most. That's what makes them so.."

"Terrifying? Yes, yes, yes." Lupin finished. "Let's practice now. Without wands, please. After me. Riddikulus!"

"Riddikulus!" The class repeated.

"This class is ridiculous." Malfoy said from behind me.

"Your face is going to look ridiculous if you don't shut the hell up." I said as I glared at him.

"So much for the easy part." Lupin said. "What finishes a boggart is laughter. You need to force it to assume a shape you find truly amazing. Let me explain. Neville, would you join me please?"

Neville made his way to the front of the class right next to Lupin.

"Hello Neville, what frightens you most of all?"

"Professor Snape." Neville said.

"Professor Snape. Yes frightens all." Lupin said as everyone laughed except a few Slytherins. "You live with your grandmother, yes?"

"I don't want it to turn into her, either."

"No...it won't. I want you to picture her clothes" Lupin said to him. "Only her clothes, very clearly, in your mind."

"She carries a red handbag..."

"We don't need to hear. As long as you see it, we'll see it. Now, when I open that wardrobe...Here's what I want you to do. Imagine Professor Snape in your grandmothers clothes."

This should be good.

"Can you do that?" Lupin asked. "Yes l, wand at the ready." He then made his way to the wardrobe and readied himself. "One, two, three!" He opened up the wardrobe and Professor Snape popped out of the closet, staring Neville in the face with scorn and discontent.

"Riddickulus!" Neville shouted at Snape. Suddenly, Snape jerked backward and instead of his dark robes, he was wearing a green dress, to go a long with a red handbag and a hat with a dead bird on it.

Everyone burst into laughter, including Neville and Lupin, who pushed Snape back into the wardrobe. "Incredible!" Lupin said. "Okay, to the back, Neville. Everyone, form a line!"

Lupin put some music on as Ron went up first in line with his wand ready. Lupin opened the wardrobe to reveal a giant spider staring at him in the face.

"Riddikulus!" Ron shouted. On each of the spiders legs, a roller skate was attached and the spider failed to move properly. It was quite funny to say the least.

I'm not sure what my boggart would be. Maybe my parents saying I'm the reason they're dead and I'm a huge disappointment. But how do I make that funny?

Pavartis boggart turned from Ron's spider to a mummy coming back at her. When she cast "Riddikulus!" The mummy then turned into a jack in the box. Honestly, I would prefer the mummy.

Hermione went next and her boggart was Mum giving her a failing grade. Once she cast, "Riddikulus!" The paper in her hand turned into a better grade.

Only you Hermione. Only you.

Harry went up next and I was right behind him. However, I was still failing to come up with how I can make my boggart funny.

The Jack in the Box began to push back before turning into a dementor. The music began to fade away as the class cowered in fear. Professor Lupin jumped in front of the boggart, which turned into a full moon and shouted, "Riddikulus!" The moon turned into a punctured balloon and flew around the room before Lupin pushed it back into the wardrobe.

"I think that's enough excitement for one day." Lupin said. "Class dismissed."

As we made our way out the door, I wondered why a full moon appeared in front of Professor Lupin. Unless......

———————————————————————————

That night, in the Gryffindor dorms, I couldn't sleep. So I grabbed my Walkman and made my way down to the common room. Where Gracie and Crookshanks were resting by the fire together.

I sat down on the coach and put in my headphones and turned on, "Come Get Your Love." By Redbone.

"Hail (hail)
What's the matter with your head? Yeah
Hail (hail)
What's the matter with your mind
And your sign? And a, oh, oh, oh
Hail (hail)
Nothin' the matter with your head
Baby, find it, come on and find it
Hail, with it, baby
'Cause you're fine
And you're mine, and you look so divine
Come and get your love
Come and get your love
Come and get your love
Come and get your love"

I sat in quiet solitude for about 20 minutes until I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Hermione.

"What are you doing up so late." She yawned as she sat down next to me.

"Just thinking about my boggart and what it could be." I replied.

"What do you think?"

"Probably my parents." I said. "Just them telling me I'm a disappointment, that I'm the reason they died."

Hermione laid her head on my shoulder."They'd be so proud of you Y/N, don't you ever think any different."

"Thanks Mione." I said as we smiled at each other.

We continued to sit in a side hug for a few minutes until I heard soft snores coming next to me. Hermione had fallen asleep on my shoulder.

"Goodnight Mione." I said as I kissed her forehead.
