Buckbeak's Execution

*Y/n's POV*

"You what?" Draco did a double take.

"I think I can talk to animals," I repeated.

Draco walked over sitting next to me, "why do you think that?"

"I can speak parseltongue, the language of snakes and no one else in our family can and when I met Buckbeak he came to me, I didn't even bow and he nodded to me when I asked him a question," I explained.

"Wow, you can talk to animals,"

"Yeah," I chuckled, "but we can't tell mother and father, do you know what would happen if-" I stopped taking a shaky breath.

"Come here," Dray opened his arms, and I hugged him tightly taking another deep shaky breath holding in tears, "I know, they won't find out. I promise," we stayed like that for a few minutes, "it's almost curfew, you should get back to your tower," I nodded in agreement and let go of him and standing up off the bed, "I'll see you tomorrow," he kissed the top of my head.

I made it back to the Gryffindor common room and went straight up to my dorm.

"Where did you go?" Ginny asked when I walked in.

"I went to see Draco," I kneeled getting my hoodie and plaid pajama pants out of my trunk.

"How'd that go?" she asked, knowing the exact reason why I went.

"Good, I think he feels kind of bad about doing it, but I don't think he'd ever admit it," I sighed walking into the bathroom got dressed and flopped on my bed.

"Did you guys talk about something other than Buckbeak?"

"What makes you think?" I can't tell her I can talk to all animals until I'm positive, and even then, I'll probably wait.

"You just seem like you have something else on your mind,"

"No, I don't-" I shot up in realization, "I have to go," I started putting on my shoes

"Y/n, it's like 5 minutes till curfew-" I cut her off, "I promised I'd go see Hagrid about something but the whole thing with Draco happened and I forgot, I really have to go," I finished before running out.

"Ah Y/n,"

"Hey, Hagrid, I'm sorry I'm late, something happened,"

"It's okay but we better keep this fast since it's curfew," Hagrid started and I walked into his hut sitting down next to him, "I've been thinking about the connection you have with Buckbeak and I'd like to ask if you've had any other connections with any other types of animals,"

Shoot

"Well," I trailed and didn't know what to say and I'm guessing he could tell because he then said, "it's a safe place Y/n, I won't tell anyone anything you don't want me to,"

"There's something I didn't tell you when I met Buckbeak, but if I tell you, I need you to promise me you won't tell anyone,"

"I promise you, Y/n, no one will know unless you tell them," he reassured me.

"I didn't just have a connection with Buckbeak," I took a deep breath, "I spoke to him,"

"I do that all the time Y/n-" I cut Hagrid off, "no Hagrid, he understood me, he answered me," I saw his eyes widen.

"Has this happened with any other animals?" I stayed silent and I guess he understood, especially when he gasped, "are you a-?"

"Yes, I'm a parselmouth,"
