Here's a cute little Dramione story that takes place in the main characters' third year at Hogwarts. I may be off and on with the posting of chapters because of work and life, so bear with me.

PS: There are elements of the actual Harry Potter story-JK Rowling and the makers of the movie own them, not me. Enjoy and review!


Prologue

Hermione knew this wasn't a good idea. She knew Hagrid was planning on bringing his hippogriff Buckbeak out for the lesson. He went on and on about it the day before when she, Ron and Harry went to visit him. She's read about the horse-bird hybrids some months ago, and learned that they were sensitive, hostile creatures, only to be cared for by experiences wizards and witches. They are far too dangerous to be around any person, let alone a bunch rowdy teenagers. Especially one particular teenager...

"Not so scary are you, you big ugly brute?" Malfoy said as he cantered up to the large hippogriff Buckbeak, his arms flailing as he went.

Hermione's heart nearly stopped. Why does that Malfoy always have to cause trouble?! She about shouted at him, but Hagrid beat her to it.

"Malfoy, no! Malfoy!"

The horse-bird startled and stood up on his hind legs and swiped the blonde-haired boy in the arm with his hoof, making him fall over backwards onto his back. He started whining in pain,

"He's killing me, he's killing me!"

"It's okay," Hagrid said, trying to calm the startled and screaming teens in the forest clearing, "it's just a scratch."

"Hagrid!" Hermione shouted, walking up to him. "He has to be taken to the hospital. His arm could be badly injured!"

"O-okay. I'm the teacher, I'll do it," Hagrid said, and went and picked up a fallen Malfoy still moaning in pain. He clutched his arm with white knuckles, and his head dangled from Hagrid's arm as he was carried away. Malfoy opened his crystal blue eyes for one second and saw Hermione's oval face and wavy light-brown hair. Then he lost consciousness, totally limp in Hagrid's arms.
