"Alright y/n, first day of the class you've been waiting for your whole life!" You say to yourself on your way to Care for Magical Creatures. You clutch your book tightly in hand so to keep it from moving so much.

When you reach the edge of the forest, you meet up with your other classmates.

"Alright everyone gather around!" Your professor calls, "Today we will be learning about the magnificent creature called a hippogriff. Someone hear sure does know a lot about these beasts eh?" The entire class looks around trying to figure out who he was talking about.

"It's fine let's get to it shall we?" The professor claps his hands together, "Follow me!" He goes walking with the class following behind. He leads you all to a clearing where there are several pens with enchantments around them to keep the creatures inside. The half bird half horse creatures ranged from grey to a brilliant gold color.

"Alright now pull out a name and they will be your partner for the next activity. Miss Y/L/N? You first!"
You walk up cautiously to the front of the class and pick a name. It read, 'Newt Scamander'.

"Say it out loud dearie."

"Newt Scamander?" You say trying to sound like you knew.

A boy with wavy auburn hair perks his head up. You hadn't noticed him before but somehow you missed the bright eyed boy.

"There you go then. Pick o' the litter for your hippogriff!" Your teacher pushes you towards the rest of the students and calls them up one by one until everyone's in pairs.

You were both standing by the grey blue hippogriff. The professor walked through the class, "Alright class! I want you to enter the pen, slowly."

You are reaching for the lock but Newt gets there quicker. You kind of stare at him in disbelief. He walks into the pen. He almost has a new aura. He wasn't antisocial or shy but rather walked with a purpose now.

"You have to bow, y/n. Otherwise he'll take your head right off." Newt says cautiously bowing. You follow his moves. The creature bows back. "He'll let you pet him now I think." He says moving towards the beast, "Come on, he's really friendly."

You move next to him. You put your hand on the hippogriff and stroke its head. You feel yourself beginning to smile.
"How is it you know so much about these?" You ask Newt.

"My family and I we breed hippogriffs." He replies, "My parents actually brought them in today."

"Do they have names?" You ask.
Newt smiles, "This one's name is Poseidon, he's one of my favorites."

"I like him too." You say smiling.

"You'd be the first." Newt laughs.

After the lesson you walk up to catch Newt,
"Could you teach me?"

"Teach you?" He asks.

"Yeah, about hippogriffs?"

"Anytime." He smiles.
