Harry Potter. Hermione X Male Reader Story

Conspiring Cats and Hideous Hats

(Y/N)'s POV

I turned to Harry, I was shocked he would be willing, Hagrid smiled at both of us and said "Alrigh' then Harry, you go firs' an' (Y/N) after" "As always" I whispered under my breath, Hermione tutted at me, so I nodded reluctantly, content to let Harry go first. He still looked a bit stunned when everyone else backed off, so me and Ron gave him a "gentle" shove.

Hagrid instructed Harry the best he could, Harry took a few tentative steps towards Buckbeak, Lavender Brown whispered "Remember your teacups Harry" from somewhere to my left, if I wasn't trying to be deadly silent, I would have burst out laughing.

There were a few tense moments, at one point Buckbeak seemed to be angry at Harry's approach and he had to back up quickly, Hermione let out a gasp and gripped my wrist, I didn't know what to do, so I just let her hold on. I pretended not to notice, but my heart was beating a bit quicker than normal.

Once Harry had successfully pet Buckbeak, Hagrid got a bit overzealous "Righ' then, Harry," said Hagrid. "I reckon he migh' let yeh ride him!" Harry paled "What!" he said, but before he could protest Hagrid had already picked him up, making him mount Buckbeak, he then patted the creature's hindquarters and it took off.

"Dibs on next" I said aloud, Hermione looked at me like I was a child and rolled her eyes, I normally wouldn't mind but in doing this she released my wrist. After a minute or two Buckbeak circled back, Hagrid pulled Harry from him.

"Well don' Harry, and well don' Buckbeak" clapped Hagrid, we all joined in. Well, almost all of us, Draco was still making jokes in the back, not paying attention.

"(Y/N)?" Hagrid looked over at me, asking if I wanted to try, I nodded quickly and stepped forward. Locking eyes with Buckbeak, I slowly approached and gave him a bow, he returned one, I gave a tentative look at Hagrid who nodded.

I mounted Buckbeak, not needing help like Harry did, the second I gripped on to Buckbeak's feathers Hagrid made him sprint to take off. My whole body lurched back as the creature kicked its powerful legs, as he took off my stomach lurched with me like I was cresting the top of a rollercoaster.

The feeling of flying was, almost indescribable, the wind whipped at my face, it was hard to catch my breath, but when I did it felt cleaner, crisper. I managed to pry my eyes open despite the wind, Buckbeak had taken me over the Black Lake, as we soared above it the sun reflected off the lake to create a truly magnificent scene, like out the pages of a book or a film.

This was a single moment of my life that I knew I would never forget for as long as I lived, this feeling would never be forgotten, this scene before me was something I would look back and smile at on my deathbed. But as they say, all good things must come to an end.

Before I realised it, we had touched down again, there were claps and whoops from the crowd, as I dismounted Buckbeak I took another look into his eyes and smiled, stroking some of his feathers. We were friends now in my book.

"That was amazing" I said as I made it back to the group, flattening my hair out but unable to wipe the smile off my face, everyone else was now much more eager to fly.

Draco Malfoy sauntered over to Buckbeak with confidence, despite Hagrid's protests and warnings. "I bet you're not dangerous at all, are you?" he said to the Hippogriff. "Are you, you great ugly brute?"

I knew what would happen before it did, but I couldn't do anything to stop it, Buckbeak reared back on his hind legs and brought down a powerful talon strike on Malfoys arm, he crumpled to the floor and held his arm in pain, blood poured out of it and onto the forest below.

Hagrid wrestled the hippogriff away and distracted him with a ferret, which Buckbeak promptly ate.

In the next second my body moved entirely on its own, I rushed forward to Malfoy sliding on my knees as I got to him, he was whimpering and crying in pain, I looked at the wound, "Malfoy, keep calm, I'm going to do something to stop the bleeding ok?" he nodded, clearly in too much pain to protest, at least I think he did, it was hard to tell with all the squirming he was doing.
