III. YOU AND YOUR BLOODY CHICKEN

"HOLY shit!" Clary screamed, getting behind Draco.

"You're a Slytherin, yet you're scared of snakes?" Draco commented. "Vipera Evcanasca." he casted, pointing his wand at the snake and it soon disappeared.

She huffed and made her way towards Daphne and Adelaide. "He has a point, you know." Daphne said.

"Yeah, the irony is not lost in me." Clary sarcastically replied.

Since their Care for Magical Creatures teacher retired due to old age, Hagrid took over his position. Their first meeting consisted of third year Gryffindors and Slytherins—the most dramatic of houses when put together. They were tasked to go to the Forbidden Forest at a sunny afternoon and on their way, Clary came across a snake—in which she was utterly terrified of.

"Dracy!!" A high-pitched voice squealed. Clary sighed, knowing who it is. "I just left him for a few minutes and now she's making a move already." She said, looking at the pug-faced girl who latched herself onto Draco.

"Wait, are you?—"

"Jealous?" Adelaide continued.

The two looked at her with a knowing look and Clary just shook it off, "You know I don't like him in that way." She said, "In any way, as a matter of fact."

"Maybe things could develop, perhaps?" Adelaide suggested.

"Just forget about it." she dismissed, moving forward, struggling to carry her large book. She took a glance at Pansy who clinged onto Draco as if she were a tarsier. "Look at her." she cringed.

"Relax. You're just jealous." Daphne joked.

"Right you lot, less chattering. Form a group over there. Now turn your books on page 49." Professor Hagrid instructed.

"Exactly how do we do that." Draco rudely asked.

"You just stroke the spine of course." he instructed as if it were obvious.

"Aah!" Neville screamed as he opened the book without stroking the spine.

"Don't be such a wimp, Longbottom." Draco spat.

"I think they're funny." Hermione said.

"Oh yeah, terribly funny. Really witty." Draco piped up. "God, this place is going down with the dogs. Wait 'til my father hears about Dumbledore letting this oaf teach us classes." he said and laughed amongst Crabbe and Goyle.

"Shut up, Malfoy." Harry said.

Clary crossed her arms and watched the scene with Adelaide and Daphne. "This is interesting."

Draco looked at Crabbe and Goyle and smugly gave his bag for Crabbr to hold. He walked over to Harry and looked at him from head to toe. However, he looked behind Harry and staggered back, "Dementor, dementor!" he yelled and all the Gryffindors looked behind them to see nothing.

Laughing amongst his delinquents, Draco pulled on his robes' hood—the others following—and mocked Harry as if they were dementors.

Professor Hagrid cleared his throat, trying to get the attention of the whole class. "Tadarara! Isn't he beautiful? Say hello to Buckbeak." he said.

"Hagrid, exactly what is that?" Ron asked, looking at the foreign creature.

"That, Ron, is a Hippogriff. First thing you want to know about hippogriffs is that they're very proud creatures. Very easily offended. You do not want to insult a hippogriff. That will just be the last thing you wanna do. Now!" he clapped his hands together. "Who wants to say hello?"
