Defining Family

Glare

A few days passed and Harry was walking to pick Crystal up from Harper's fields when feathers fluttered behind him. He turned around, expecting to see crystal but was shocked to see the Gryffins from before. He persed his lips at the bitter one to let him know that he wasn't plased to see him again, but gave the nice one plesant smile.
"Hello Sir's. Surprised to see you here on this fine day." He greeted.
"Hello to you as well young human.  We were wounder if we might borrow your attention for a time?"
"Of course, however I'm on my way to pick up my Crystal so I regret that it must be brief."

The nice one, who had been talking, shook his head. "Indeed not. We will walk with you." He nodded ahead and so all three walked, the bitter one lagging behind slightly.

"You see, we came to apologise for insulting Crystal. We did not mean to bring down the young Hipogriff for being herself." He said. Harry nodded.
"I see. Well, if you wish to apologise, I ask that your words be directed at the victim of the cruelty by that mouth that inflicted it." He said before slowing his brisk pase.

Harry cassed a cold glance at the bitter creature, who looked slightly offended he before walking into a clearing.
He cupped his hand around his mouth and looked up.

"Auntie Harper! I'm here! I brought guests you can feed!" He yelled. Harper loved to feed everyone, but man was her food shit. It would be funny to see how the bitter one reacted to dead rabbit dipped in maple sap.

Harper came down and almost crashing behind her came Crystal. Harry laughed lightly. "You okay?"
"Yes mama! Check out what Auntie taught me today!!!" She pounced infront of Harry and her face scrunched, showing that she was trying to focused really hard. She opened her wings and closed them and kept doing that untill she got off the ground almost a foot.
Harry smiled with pride and wrapped his arms around her neck.

"I'm so proud of you sweetheart." Until then, she'd have to jump off something to start her off.
The bitter one scoffed behind them. Harry glared and stood in front of his Crystal protectivly.

He obviously wanted to say something but the nice one glared at him too. He growled and rolled his eyes. "I'm sorry I got on you about being prideful. There." He pouted.
Crystal was confused, but smiled. "T-thank you?"

The bitter one nodded, deciding that was over with. "Good. Now, you can't move your wigs like that if you plan on going any higher than a that without help.
We have feathered wigs while this Thestral doesn't. How she flys is different than how we fly. If I'm going to be mentoring you, you'd best remember that." He said in a cold, but not harsh, voice. Crystal nodded, excitment welling inside her.

"Good. We will meet at dawn every day for an hour starting tomorrow. Don't be late." And with that he flew off. The nice one chuckled in amusment.
"Dont mind him, he's excited." He looked to Harper. "I'd love to stay and eat, as this Human has so advertised of us, but I'm afraid I need to anchor my mate for a while. Thanks to you, all we really need to teach Crystal is how to use her feathers to suport her in flight and maybe strengthen her endurance. Thank you." He bowed to them all before taking off.

Crystal looked at Harry with glee filled eyes.
