Blue: Buckbeak!

I went over the the Hippogriff who allowed me to approach him in a way. He has grown accustomed to me and sees me as a friend. I pet Buckbeak who clearly liked my touch.

Blue: So they're going to learn about Hippogriffs? Awesome!

Hagrid: Yes but it will also be very dangerous. Buckbeak over here will not like it one bit if one of the students act high and mighty in his presence

Blue: Yeah but don't worry about that, I'll protect them if something goes wrong, you have my word

Hagrid: Okay but don't hurt yourself in the process

Blue: I'll try

We talked for a bit until the 3rd year Gryffindors and Slytherins met up here for Care of Magical Creatures.

Draco: Why do we have to take lessons from this big oaf? Trust me when my father hears about this, he will not like it one bit.

I was annoyed at Draco's comments but I decided that it would be best to ignore them. I watch as Hagrid gave them a book which they struggled to open.

Hagrid: Yer have to stroke them to make it open

Draco: Ah yes stroke them, why didn't I think of that?

He was clearly upset and I understand why, the book had already tried to eat them but damn it's just a bit of banter. I got injected with venom by a Basilisk and I was having a laugh.

Hagrid: I thought it was funny

Blue: Yeah don't worry Hagrid it was hilarious. Can we go and get Buckbeak now?

Hagrid: Okay just hold on a minute

Ron: Buckbeak?

Hermione: Who is that?

Blue: You'll see

Hagrid comes back with Buckbeak and said "Ta da" like it was a surprise. They were all scared but Hagrid reassured them that they don't have to worry.

Hagrid: Now listen here, this is Buckbeak, he is a Hippogriff which is a half-bird half-horse. They are easily offended. Don't ever insult one, cause it might be the last thing yeh do. So who wants to go first?

At first no one wanted to but one boy.

Harry: I'll do it

Harry Goddamn Potter! Well he did it out of respect for Hagrid but Harry Potter!

Harry followed Hagrid's instruction and looked at Buckbeak, he bowed and waited for acceptance from Beckham who happily bowed back. Harry pets Buckbeak but then Hagrid placed him on top of the Hippogriff.

Buckbeak immediately took off and flew towards the lake with Harry on his back.

Hermione: Harry!

Blue: Don't worry Hermione, he is fine
