Hermione's POV
(1993-1994)
'Poor Hagrid' I thought. How can anyone like Hagrid have to go through this? He doesn't deserve it and Malfoy brings it up at any point he can. He was definitely milking his arm, it wasn't that badly hurt! Yes, I was concerned for him when it happened, but Madam Pomfrey would have been able to fix it up in a second, so we all knew it wasn't as bad as he made it out to be.
Harry, Ron and I decided that we would go to see Hagrid before the execution took place; he needed to see some friendly faces beforehand. We got there with about 2 minutes to spare before the executioner would arrive. We comforted Hagrid as much as we could, what more could we do? He loved buckbeak terribly, but there were no other options. It would have to happen.
As soon as the executioner arrived, we ran out of the back door, running right round to a hill near the front door. Unfortunately Malfoy decided to turn up with his two 'Goons'.
"What do you want Malfoy?" I snarled. I can't believe I actually snarled at him!
"Well." He said "I didn't want to miss the show did I"
I couldn't believe what he was actually saying. He liked the fact that Buckbeak was getting executed. It was like a funfair to him. He got actual pleasure out of this! I walked over to him, pinning him to the wall, with my wand at his neck. Thankfully I got the reaction I wanted out of him. He started squirming about and whimpering. If I hadn't been deadly serious I could have started laughing at how pathetic he looked.
"You foul evil loathsome cockroach!" I said, making my voice sound as menacing as possible. Deciding that I had seen enough of him squirming about, I let go. Unfortunately he decided to act all cocky, being all big and arrogant at the fact I let him go, so I turned back and punched him right in the nose.
I don't know what happened to me! One minute I was upset for Hagrid, and then I was angry at Malfoy, and then punching him! I have to admit it felt good. That would teach him to mess with me.
It may sound strange, but when he got hurt, I felt a lot of worry, tingles in my stomach. The same thing happened when I punched him. My hand was still tingling from it. Did I? No! Did I have feelings for Draco Malfoy?
