Never Thought I Would Fall For You ( A Hogwarts Love Story) ~Year 1-3~

Chapter 54 - Buckbeak

"She has the right to." he said.

I stopped laughing.

"Pansy and I are dating." he said.

Then everything became quiet. But something inside of me...something just shattered.
"Who cares who you're dating." Erika said.

I nudged Erika to stop.

"Come on, Erika. Let it go. Besides...." I said and then looked at Malfoy.

He gulped as I got closer to him.

"He isn't worth it." I finished.

I walked back to Erika, but stopped.

"By the way...you two look great together." I said.

Everyone snickered at that.

Hagrid cleared his throat. We all turned to him.

"Isn't he beautiful? Say hello to Buckbeak."
"Hagris, exactly what is that?" asked Ron.
"That, Ron, is a Hippogriff. First thing you wanna know is they're very proud creatures. Very easily offended. You do not want to insult a hippogriff. It may be the last thing you ever do." said Hagrid. "Now, who'd like to come and say hello?" Everyone backed up, except me and Harry.

"Well done, Harry."

He turned around and looked at the others.
Ron pushed him a little.

"Come on. Now, you have to let him make the first move. Step up and give a nice bow, then you wait and see if he bows back. If he does, you can go and touch him, if not. Well, we'll get to that later." Hagrid said.

Harry bowed. Buckbeak squeaked.
"Back off, Harry. Back off." Hagrid warned him.

Harry back away and accidentally stepped on a twig and it snapped.
I flinched and held onto something...warm.

Harry stood still and Buckbeak bowed back.
"Well done, Harry. Now, you can go and pat him now." Hagrid said.

Harry looked shocked and scared at the same time.

"Come on, don't be shy." Hagrid said.

Harry held out his hand and walked towards Buckbeak, slowly.
Buckbeak squealed a little bit, making me flinch again.

And the grip on my hand, became tighter.
I looked down and noticed I was holding someone's hand.

I looked up and I wish it didn't happen.

I was holding Malfoy's hand.

But, why he didn't shove my hand away? I thought.
I let go and ignored him.

Harry stood still has Hagrid told him to, Buckbeak walked a little closer to him and let Harry pet its head.
"Well done. I think he may let you ride him now." Hagrid said.
"What?" Harry asked, shocked.

Hagrid lift Harry and put him on Buckbeak.
"Hey, Hey, Hey!" said Harry.

"Okay, make sure that you hold on tight. Don't pull out any of this feathers, because he won't thank you for that." said Hagrid.

He slapped Buckbeak's behind to make him go.
"WHOA!!!" Harry shouted.

"GO HARRY!!!" Erika and I shouted.

Harry's so lucky to ride on Buckbeak!

In 3 minutes....Beakbeak and Harry came back.

"Whoa! That was wicked, Harry!" I said.

"Well done, Harry. And Well done Buckbeak." said Hagrid happily.
Hagrid let Harry down and they were talking now.

"I can do that." Malfoy pushed everyone out of the way.
