Third Person POV:

Confidently striding down to Hagrid's hut, Draco Malfoy surrounds himself with his fellow Slytherins, grumbling about this year's new classes.  Copies of The Monster Book of Monsters all growl in their arms, they make their way down the hill, the jaws of the books bound shut tightly by lengths of rope, belts, or haphazardly wrapedSpell-o-Tape.  The Slytherins all grumble, not looking forward to anything to come of third year.

"I can't believe this troll is teaching classes!" Draco hisses maliciously.  "Just you wait!  It's going to be a disaster and he'll be sacked in a flash!  Dumbledore was insane for ever allowing him on the grounds!  I'm sure Dumbledore will be sacked after this class goes up in flames!"

"Oh, Draco," Pansy Parkinson sighs, hanging on his arm, fluttering her fake eyelashes at him.  "You're so, so right!  You could never be wrong!  We're so lucky to have someone as smart as you on our house!"

Draco smirks at her words of validation which have grown to bolster his ego.  Waving his arms, Hagrid calls all the students over for today's class.

"Are yeh ready?" he asks the students.  "I've got a s'prise for yeh today!  Follow me!"

Turning swiftly on his heel, Hagrid turns around, heading around his hut, grabbing two dead ferrets on a rack along the way.  The students all grumble and follow reluctantly.  They all come up to an enclosed pen and the flap of wings and hooves draw attention to the centre where Hagrid now stands.  

"Hagrid?" Ron Weasley asks weakly, pointing to the multicoloured animals who are trotting around in circles.  "What are those?!" 

"These are Hippogriffs, Ron," Hagrid replies proudly, pointing to the half eagle half horses in front of everyone.  The Hippogriffs stop in their positions, surveying their visitors with interest. "Ain't they beautiful?"

Ron nods reluctantly and all the students take a step back.  Draco sighs, uninterested in the lesson.  He pulls out his leftover green apple from breakfast and takes a large bite after surveying it for any dents or blemishes, not listening in to what Hagrid's saying.  His gaze wanders and he tunes out.  Hagrid clears his throat and begins his lesson.

"Now, the first thing that you want to know is that hippogriffs are especially proud creatures.  You should never, ever insult a Hippogriff!  It just might be the last thing yeh ever do...," Hagrid trails off.  The students step back again, now even more uneasy about meeting these animals, let alone being in the same vicinity.   "Now, who would like ta say hello?"

All of the students shy away, but someone raises their hand.  It's y/n y/l/n, who smiles at the new professor.

"I will," she says kindly, setting down her bags and stepping forward, swiftly unlocking the gate and stepping inside.  

Y/n y/l/n has always been in the eyes of the entire student body of Hogwarts.  Ever since first year, she developed the reputation of being one of the most likeable people ever to have gone to Hogwarts.  Many people immediately liked her because of her great personality and sense of humour.  Her habit was to tell jokes during passing period or during potions under her breath so Professor Snape couldn't hear her.  She would also always be willing to assist anyone who needed help with their school work, no matter what their blood status or house is.  Y/n's popularity was also supported by her looks to the point where some students call her "the Hogwarts Beauty".  The whole of Hogwarts would be perfectly inclined to talk about y/n y/l/n on end, wishing they could date or be her.  Y/n would hear all of these things said about her, but she'd ignore, not wanting her to be defined solely by her outward appearance, which only made people like her even more.
