"Long time no see, huh" George sat next to me. I closed my book and looked at him.

"Actually yes" I said and he slided closer to me.

"How have you been? You seem very remoted lately" he said worried.

"I was just feeling a little sick, that's all. No worries" I reassured him. I am pretty sure he knows what happened between me and Malfoy, Harry can't keep his mouth shut.

"Emily! We need to leave! We have a lesson!" Hagrid said fast and stopped in front of me. I watched him confused and glanced on my watch. The time passed so quickly.

"Yes let's go. See you later Georgie" I waved at him and left with Hagrid.

"We are going to the forest, but not far don't worry" he was walking fast because of his huge size and i was almost running next to him.

"That's nice. I hope you won't loose your tender with us" I said and he laughed a little.

"Me too kiddo. I don't want to admit it to anyone else, but I am a little nervous" he said shy and I smiled. That was so cute, Hagrid being nervous on his first class as a teacher.

"Don't worry, you will do great" he smiled back at me thanking me.

We kept walking a little more and then he stopped under a tree with a flag on the ground next to him.

"I put this here so I don't forget where our lessons are supposed to be, and no one gets lost" he explained showing me the flag. I nodded amazed with his action.

"Where are the rest of the students?" I asked. It was probably the time for our lesson to start.

"They should arrive in anytime. Prefects will bring them here. They know you are with me" he answered and that time I heard noises behind me. I turned around and saw three crowds of people.  All houses were here except for Hufflepuff.

"Hello, students! How are you doing? Please step aside right there" Hagrid said and pushed me gently far from him and the other students followed me too.

"So what are we going to do?" Harry asked.

"For now, waiting" he answered and started moving his body to the front and to the back, waiting.

"Waiting for what?" Hermione asked but that time we all heard a noise from an animal and got scared. Percy was coming towards us (I didn't realize when he left) and he was holding a cord which was around a Pegasus neck!

"I have seen a Pegasus before. It's a really lovely animal" Luna said next to me and I nodded. Actually it is.

"Take it easy buddy" Hagrid caressed the animal to the face because it seemed a little stressed with the amount of people that were staring at it.

"Okay so, we will start with some informations of this beautiful animal. Take notes, if you want" Hagrid said and everyone took out a paper and a pen.

[..]

"Now, after everything you have learnt..." Hagrid started walking among us.

"Who wants to ride it first? With my help of course" he added and some kids gasped. I mean if anyone wanted to ride this animal would be crazy!

"I think I am going to let the animal decide which one he wants to take for a walk" he said and everyone was looking silent, curious for what will happen.

"Pegasus, choose which one you want to ride you!" Hagrid ordered and the animal looked carefully one by one. When it locked eyes with me, I felt he was staring into my soul.

He took a few steps forward to the left, where some Ravenclaw's girls were, including Luna. I was so sure it was going to choose her but when she smiled at the animal it just licked her face and went to the next people. Pegasus next, walked slowly at the Gryffindor kids and the Slytherin ones where behind them. He was looking in Hermione's eyes so hard and everyone thought it chose her.

"Okay! So I think we got our win-" Hagrids line was cut in the middle.

"Stupid animal!" a boy from Slytherin said and he threw at Pegasus a big rock. When it hit him he made a crying sound, his legs being confused and he fell on the ground.

"Pegasus! Are you okay?" Hagrid asked worried and ran to him but the animal didn't want his help.

While he was kicking his legs they got tied with the cord that he was being held before. Without the animal seeing me I ran and very fast untied him even though Hagrid was shouting to me not to. The animal stood on his legs exhausted and took some steps back from everyone. No one was making a sound, everyone was so quiet.

"I am sorry" I whispered to Pegasus, in a tone where no one else could listen.

The animal walked slowly, still shocked in front of me with his big black eyes glazing. I put my hand in the air and placed it on his head, slowly caressing him. Then he bit my hand!

"Ouch!" I screamed and then he put my robe between his teeth throwing me on the air and I landed on his back. Almost before I fell i tucked my fingers on his hair and that time he started flying!

"Hagrid!!!" I screamed with fear as the animal kept going higher in the air.

"Don't worry Emily! Just stay calm and you nothing will happen to you!" he shouted back at me. Then he said something but I couldn't understand because of the wind on my ears.

We were on top of the Hogwarts, flying around. When I relaxed my muscles Pegasus made a happy sound and kept flying with a stable speed. Getting over my fear, I looked down.

I was amazed with the view. We were up from the lake and you could see the fish that were in it. Forbidden forest didn't look so scary now and Hogwarts looked smaller than before. It was time for the sun to dawn, and the sky was a mix of orange and pink colors making the perfect harmony.

I guess I am going to take Pegasus and do some more rides alone with him.

"It's time to go down, buddy" I said to him playing softly with his hair and he turned around, taking us back to where the class is.

"Are you okay, Emily! Have you hurt?" He asked worried and I shook my head saying no.

"It was amazing" was the only thing I said and Hagrids characteristics got calm. He was so stressed about his first lesson, so if I was hurt I wouldn't tell him. At least if it was not something serious. Even though my back hurts a little from the bite but it's just a bruise.

"Oh okay" he exhaled relieved.

"Class is over kids. See you next time" Hagrid waved us and we started leaving.

When students started to leave I was looking for the golden trio or Luna so I could walk with them but as the seconds passed I realized they were already in the front, so I started walking alone. I noticed that only the Slytherins were back so I started walking faster.

"Here are your 3 galleons Blaise" I heard Malfoy saying behind me and everyone laughed.

"I told you she was going to last on there. When you said she wouldn't and she would fall on the first 4 seconds I knew the bet was mine" he said arrogantly and Malfoy growled.

"I mean how did she even managed to not get hurt? It would have been better if she had fallen. No one would give a shit" Malfoy said and I turned around to see him with a look full of hate.

"You never shut your mouth huh?!" I asked and took my wand out. I saw the fear in his eyes and he took his wand out too.
