The Sweet Slytherin

Well that escalated quickly

(Corrine's P.O.V)

I walked to Hagrid's, Bimbo in hand, stroking his little head and back, to comfort him as we made our way across unknown territory, as Bimbo would see it. And I didn't want him to think this area was dangerous. I saw the giant and waved to him.

"Hey Hagrid!" I called.

"Aye, lass. What brings you out 'ere?" He asked.

"I wanted to show you something. I thought you could help me with it." I announced. Hagrid looked at me concerned at first.

"Now lass. If this is about blood-"

"Oh Godrick, No. Get your head out of the gutter, Hagrid. It's about this little guy." I announced, holding Bimbo out to Hagrid, before things got anymore awkward. Hagrid's eyes widened at the site of Bimbo. "I thought, since you were the care for magical creatures teacher, that maybe you might know what he eats and what the living conditions for him might b-"

"Where in the world did you get a white bellied snarzle?!" Hagrid asked, exasperated. I smiled.

"I take it you recognize this species of dragon." I replied.

"Recognize? I know that kind of dragon anywhere. Nearly extinct, and highly valuable. 'unted for their scales and claws. Extremely hard to come by. Where did you find one?" He asked.

"I found him by a tree, in Hogsmede, freezing to death." I shrugged. I looked at Bimbo. "So, Bimbo. You're a white bellied snarzle. Good to know." I announced, with a smile.

"Come again?" Hagrid asked. I laughed.

"Hagrid, this is Bimbo Bambozal. Bimbo, this is Hagrid." I replied, handing Hagrid, Bimbo, carefully. Hagrid smiled. Bimbo looked to me with fear in his eyes. "It's okay, Bimbo. Hagrid loves animals. Go on." I prompted. Bimbos legs shook a little bit, but he still nuzzled up against Hagrid's massive thumb. I squealed in amusement. "Dawwwww. Good boy, Bimbo." I announced.

" 'Hats strange. Dragons, this type especially, aren't normally so nice. You're a very lucky girl 'orrine. Now then as far as food goes. This guy is a vegetarian so make sure he gets plenty of fruits and vegetables. His scales are also very fragile, so make sure he gets a bath or soaks in water at least once a week." Hagrid announced handing Bimbo back to me. I smiled.

"Thanks Hagrid! You're a life saver!" I announced, putting Bimbo in my pocket, and then running off.

"Welcome Lass!" Hagrid shouted after me. I smiled as I approached the doors to the main hall, but lost it immediately when I saw Ben and Linda, dragging a crying Draco behind them. Then the two pushed him forward.

"Tell her." Linda demanded.

"Linda, what's going o-"

"Corrine just listen." Linda replied, cutting me off. "Tell her what you did, Malfoy." Linda Demanded. I looked to Draco in fear.

"Draco, what are they talking about?" I asked.
