Hagrid stormed out of the Common Room, leaving the sniggering fifth years behind him. Blood pumping in his ears, he headed toward the grounds passing Tom Riddle and his gang. He was furious: nobody seemed to respect him. Why was it that he was always the butt of the jokes the snooty Slytherins made? Even his own house turned him away! Making his way down the hill, he headed for the Forbidden Forest.
Vision blurred by tears that threatened to destroy his last threads of dignity, he ran deeper and deeper into the treacherous woodland. Throwing himself at the foot of an oak, he let the tears fall. Why did he have to be half-giant? Why did he have to be an outcast? He felt so alone, suffocated by the eerie silence of the forestry surrounding him. Abruptly, a snuffling sound reached his ears. It came from a small patch of bracken to his right. Terror began to press into him from all sides.
Pulling himself up from his position by the tree, he stepped hesitantly toward the undergrowth. "Squawk!" Hagrid leapt back in fright as a baby hippogriff burst with a cry from the shrubbery. Raising his arms to protect his face, he closed his eyes waiting for the imminent attack. But none came. Slowly he inched his eyes open, peering through his fingers he saw his attacker was no bigger than a small dog in fact it looked quite harmless. It sat before him head cocked to one side, big unblinking eyes staring back at Hagrid. It looked quite pretty really: its grey feathers speckled with brown spots and face eliminated by the afternoon sun. Regaining his confidence somewhat, Hagrid waved his long arms at the creature: "Shoo! Go away!" he yelled. Yet the young hippogriff did nothing in response to his demands but tilt his head the other way. Sighing Hagrid pushed himself up and began the long walk back. He failed to notice the grey blur darting through the shadows behind him.

So first chapter done. Sorry it's so short; the next will be longer. We'll try to post once a week, but no promises 'til someone abolishes school!
