The entire class remained silent, awestruck at what had just transpired.

Hagrid himself wasn't entirely sure what to make of what just happened.

Lucifer stroked Buckbeak's feathers as his eyes returned to normal.

"That was..." Harry lost his words.

"Utterly stupid of him!" Hermione growled angrily, not believing what just happened.

“You could have been seriously injured!” She really wanted to knock some good ol'sense into him.

Hagrid carefully approached Lucifer and Buckbeak and when close enough, stroked him as well.

"Well done, Lucifer," Hagrid said with a smile, "Not at all how I 'spected tha' tae go, but yeh gave us a good show," even chuckled a bit.

He turned to and addressed the crowd of students, "Don' worry, tha' was jus' an isolated case. Everyone, come on up and slowly approach tha Hippogriffs, remember ter bow, and let 'im bow back."

Slowly but surely everyone approached the Hippogriffs, one at a time, so as to not overwhelm and anger them.

Seeing how Lucifer was able to calm the Creatures, they were all less afraid, but still no one was foolish enough to try what he did.

Hermione walked right up to him and began hitting him just like she promised, "How utterly dangerous and stupid of you?!”

"Hey - hey - easy - Hermione!" Lucifer grabbed her shoulders and saw tears in her eyes as she looked at him, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that to you, make you worry..."

"I know... sometimes it just feels like you seek out danger. I know you don't, but the feeling..." she sighed, slowly releasing the air from her lungs.

He patted her shoulders, "I'll try to be more careful, but I can't promise I will be, just that I'll try.”

She managed to smile at him through tear stained cheeks. 

“Why do I think you jus-” Hermione was cut off as Draco began yelling in complete agony.

They both turned to see that Draco Malfoy had been attacked by Buckbeak.

Crimson stained his robes and the grass beside him as Hagrid got control of Buckbeak before going to Malfoy.

"I'm dying!" Malfoy wailed.

"Yer not dyin'," Hagrid hoisted Malfoy up, "Class dismissed," he said and took the injured boy to the Hospital Wing.

Very shaken, the class followed at a walk.

Most of the Slytherins were all shouting about Hagrid, especially Pansy Parkinson, "They should sack him straight away!"

Dean didn't take kindly to that, "It was Malfoy's fault!"

Crabbe and Goyle began to flex their muscles threateningly, before they caught sight of Lucifer giving them both a cold, murderous glare, and backed off.

They all eventually got to the Stone cold steps and made their way into the Entrance Hall, "I'm going to go see if he's okay!" Everyone watched her run up the marble staircase.

"Normally I wouldn't care what happened to Malfoy... but seeing as it was Hagrid's class, his first class..." Lucifer lost the words he was going to say.

“I wish he was seriously injured, but definitely cause trouble for Hagrid.....”
Hermione was now busy solving her inner debate, once they made it past the Fat Lady portrait.

"Leave it to Malfoy to ruin everything," Harry sighed tiredly, wishing if the ferret could just disappear.

"Um, Hermione?"
