Deeply engrossed in her new interactive book, Y/N looked up
at the sound of her boyfriend's comical laughter. Draco was apparently saying something funny. He cut his laughter short when he realized that she hasn't been listening after all.

"Haven't you listened to a word I've said?" Draco's eyes flickered from her face to the monster in her lap.

Bloody beasts again? What seemed to be more interesting in foul creatures than him?

"No–I mean no, of course I was listening! It was very amusing really." Draco rolled his eyes and haphazardly threw his half-eaten apple away, hitting Neville and startling him and his book. He registered some laughter from the other students and Y/N smacked his arm in protest.

Draco refused to apologize and starts to entertain Pansy Parkinson instead. "Did you see the look on his face?" He mimicked Neville's reaction, making Pansy and his other friends giggle in response. The girl was getting too physically close to Draco for her liking but she didn't say a word against it. She didn't want to come off as a spoil-sport so she sat there in silence.

When Draco showed no actual response or care of her presence, she closed her book in defeat and walked up to Neville, apologizing for Draco's rude behaviour.

"You have to stroke the spine when it gets irritated," She showed him the proper way of calming down the book of Monsters which was also a monster in and of itself.
"See?" Neville started stroking the spine and naturally, it worked.

"I was too scared to touch it actually. I guess I'm just no good at handling creatures. Thanks again Y/N." He said, giving her a grateful look before strapping the book shut. "Better to be safe than sorry." Neville muttered, making her stifle her laughter.

"Don't worry, it won't wound you physically. As far as it says in... inside it. It'll just eat clothing, mostly cotton..." She trailed, gesturing to his clothes' current state.

Draco who happened to be observing her very closely in his peripheral vision, tore his attention away from Pansy who seemed to be thoroughly enjoying herself. Something had struck a nerve inside of him when he saw Y/N laughing with the whimp, Longbottom.

Everybody was clapping as Harry and Buckbeak landed on the ground. Everyone cheered, along with his girlfriend which was the last straw for his temper. The clapping and cheering was buzzing in his ears like an annoying insect.

"Oh please," Draco stood up from his seat and got rid off Pansy's arms that were slowly snaking around his. He made sure to shove past Longbottom so that Y/N was paying attention to him as well.

He took long strides as he approached the beast with a sneer. "Yeah, so you're not dangerous at all, are you? You great ugly brute."

Oh no. She made a grab for his arm but Draco was already halfway towards Buckbeak.

Y/N incredulously watched his friends that jeered him on, thinking that it was probably their brilliant idea. Everything after that happened so quickly that she could only remember how fast the smirks were wiped off clean on the Slytherins' faces.

The cheering was replaced by screams of terror and panic when Buckbeak reared on it's hind-legs and lashed it's long talons at Draco.
