The next morning I get up extra early to be at hagrids. I love mornings, the birds chirping, the frosted grass, the sunrise. It all just makes me happy.
When I get to Hagrids, he introduces me to buck beak. She's a beautiful creature, I go up to her a bow like Hagrid instructed to me earlier. She coos as I pet her. The feeling of her soft feather in my hands, I already know we are going to be best friends. I give her a fish and laugh as she swallows it whole.
"You ever rode a hippogriff before?" Hagrid asks.
I shake my head. "
"Well today is yer lucky day!" He exclaims. "Buckbeak takes well with other females. So she's gonna really like you"
"I'm nervous" I shake. "
"No reason ter be nervous. As long as ya don't spook her"
I nod and he teaches me how to get on her. So I gently go on her. She looks at me and coos.
"Up Buckbeak up!" He says and before I know it I'm heading towards the sky.
She rides around the school. In awe of how enchanting Hogwarts looks at such a height I take everything in. I feel so free and happy that I can feel the cool morning air hit my face. I take the beautiful sunset in and admire it as it's a painting.
She heads back down and I laugh. "Well how was yer ride ?" Hagrid smiles.
I smile so big "that's a better wake up call than tea, thank you!"
"Yer welcome to it any time" he says. "I'll probably do a class on her today. Let others experience it too"
"Good idea!" I say.

I head to breakfast and sit amongst my friends. I tell them all about how amazing It was to fly Buckbeak. "Hagrids going to do a class on her today" I squeal. They all look delighted.
The mail comes in and I got a letter from dad. He sent me a picture of a siren he studied in the Dominican Republic. "Wow she's beautiful" Ron says. "But she's very dangerous. Sometimes sirens use their beauty to lure people into the water." Hermione intercedes. "I can't wait to study these magical creatures" I dream.
"Uh Aurelia, don't look now but Diggory keeps staring at you" Ginny points out.
I look over at him and he looks up. He gives me a smirk that makes me wanna explode. I smirk back.
"He's so into you" Hermione says. I sure hope he is

When it becomes time for magical creatures class I get their extra early. I love looking at buck beak and admiring her beauty. I see people flutter in and then I see Malfoy, he's wearing a bruised eye and a cut on his head. "You're looking extra nice today" I tease Malfoy.
"Hahahah so funny. Thank your brother for me. He's making me look really tough"
"You wish" I say under my breath.
"Ok class. This is buck beak. My beautiful hippogriff. You do not want to insult her, it might be the last thing you do now who wants to try"
I step up.
"All ya gotta do is bow and see if she takes your bow" Hagrid explains.
I bow, (I already did it this morning but wanted to show off)
Buckbeak bowed back and ate the fish I fed her.
"Perfect!" Hagrid exclaimed.  I smile "teachers pet" I heard Draco say. "Sucking up to this beast. It's ugly i don't see the appeal in it at all."
Buck beak starts to growl. "Oh no. Ya shouldn't have said that." Hagrid says.
"Why it's not like it's going to hurt me" Draco laughs.
Buck beak starts flying and getting angry. She swoops in the air and comes back down. "Ya better run" Hagrid says.
I start sprinting away but Draco doesn't. She comes down and hits Draco in the face.
I try my hardest not to laugh.
He runs away. "OW! wait till my father hears about this"
