Chapter 7

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter but I do own the plot of this story

"Now Children, please sit down with your groups and we'll begin class for today." Said the teacher, she was new, just started here for these friends building classes. She's a nice young woman with long blonde hair and blue/green eyes that stood out on her fair skin. She moved gracefully around the room as we all got into our seats. "Alright now yesterday we didn't get the pleasure to meet face to face for Dumbledore wanted to talk to me so today all we shall do is introduce ourselves and bond a little." She said as she sat in front of the class, "I'll go first. My name is Cassandra Black but I go by Cassie but you all can call me that or Professor Black if you wish. I'm a descendant of the Black family and from the outer family as well. I'm 27 years old and I went here as a student myself, I was a Slytherin. I'm a bit of a writer and my favorite color is black and crimson and navy." She finished up. 'She's part of the Black family? Does that mean we're related?' I wondered I never meet many of my mother's family since she separated from them after marring my father.

"Alright now, I'd like to start here with this young lady and we'll go around the room." She instructed as the girl introduced herself. This class had a mixture of all the houses in it and sadly this was my first class today, I had magical creatures next. I personally had a feeling that today was going to be a long day.

Soon Neville and Ron and a couple others I knew introduced themselves and soon came to our table and my turn. "Ok I'm Draco Malfoy. I'm 17 years old and I am a Slytherin. I like to read and my favorite pass time is potions." I said quickly as I looked at Professor Black as she smiled and nodded and motioned for Harry to go. He was quiet for a few minutes before sighing and began, "Names Harry Potter, I'm 17 years old and I'm in Gryffindor. I like to read and write and fly."

Quick and brief and It seemed to kill him but Professor Black seemed satisfied as Luna piped up next and the Hufflepuff girl who was named Erica went as well and then we waited for Professor Blacks next instructions. "Ok class, we all have our work cut out for us since I noticed that during the introduction, we had snickering and people talking and it wasn't friendly either. That will not be tolerated at all. If you wish to make fun of someone then you will pay the price. This is the reason they made these classes and yes I realize not everyone can get along but it's about being mature enough to simply ignore them and be polite. You guys are 6th years, next year you graduate and do you seriously want to be remember as the biggest dumbest asshole to walk the halls of Hogwarts? Cause if you do then please continue and fail these classes."She lectured as she looked at all of us before nodding, "Alright you have five minutes till your next class, go ahead and go. Tomorrow the real work will begin." She said as she walked into her office.

Slowly everyone got up and headed out, next class was five minutes away and we could take our time getting there. Professor Black was an odd one to say the least. She said she was from the outer family of the Blacks, did she mean the banished side of the family? Was she related to me in anyway? So many questions I wanted answered but would they? Could they ever be answered? "So Dray, what did you think of Professor Black?" asked Pansy as she walked beside me. "I don't know. I've never heard of her and she seems to be alright but…she's related to the Black family. She can't be good news." I said quietly as we headed outside for Magical Creature class.

Pansy hummed beside me as we made our way down the path as we spotted Blaise a few feet away talking to some girl. "I like her. She seems to have a grip on things and stuff but it's kinda easy to see she's got something hidden but like anyone else shell keep in that way. Least from us." Pansy said as adjusted her bad as we joined the group of students in front of Hagrid's home. "Guess we took longer than we thought." Blaise inquired as he came up to stand beside us. "Done flirting with your new challenge?" Pansy sneered. It always annoyed her how Blaise went through women and I couldn't blame her. He had a new girl basically every day and it was sad how easily girls gave it up to him. But I guess if they want it and don't care, who are we to complain about it?

"Challenge? Please that girl will be boucin on me hard tonight and maybe tomorrow night. Depends on how good and how tight." He smirked as he leaned back against the stone wall as Pansy's face began to take a tint of deep red before turning on him angrily. "Remind me again why I put up with you? You stupid sexist pig! Ugh the girls around here must not have a single brain cell in their bloody heads if they keep getting with you!" she growled hatefully as she turned away from him. Another day another fight between the two of them, god I swear they should just fuck and get it over with.

"Ok class, gather around and listen up. I got something extra special for ya today." He said as his huge figure came out of his hut and started toward the woods. We followed him for about a quarter of a mile before we came to a beautiful valley. Looking around there was nothing there but beautiful scenery. "Why are we here?" asked a Gryffindor girl. Hagrid swung around with a huge grin, "We are here because this is where the Pegasus's come and eat. Their herd should be coming this way soon, so relax and take a look around but no wondering off." He said as sat back on a rock and we all took places among the field, lying back in the grass, against trees, just enjoying the raw peace of nature.

Sighing I let a small smile lose as I relaxed back against the grass and let the sun warm my cold body. It had been a long time since I've been able to relax and right now even with all these people around, I felt totally at peace. "Awe Drays smiling! So cute!" Pansy giggled as she lay down beside me and looked at me with a small smile of her own. Turning my head to her I did the most mature thing I could do, stick my tongue out at her which sent her into another giggling fit. "Wow if it had been another universe I would freak from seeing Slytherins show emotion." Came a quiet voice from the right, turning to see who it was, we were surprised to see Hermione and Ginny and Harry with Blaise joining us in the grass. "Whatever Ginny, were humans but we were taught emotions were like the antichrist." Pansy sighed as she relaxed again in the grass as the others got comfortable. We were farther away from everyone else and no one could really see us but still, this was dangerous for us to be so close and I loved it and looking into Pansy's eyes, I could tell she was too.

Pansy's and my family were very strict and both followed the Dark Lord, where Blaises was neutral and wanted nothing to do with either side. It was hard to deal with him at times because of that, he may have had the pure blood up bringing but he had things that we didn't and thus causing huge differences between all of us.

We laid there for awhile, not really caring what was going on around us but just enjoying ourselves when we heard and felt it. The sound of thunder and the rocking of the earth as we all stood up to see what it was. Over the hill in the valley came a herd of Pegasus, all beautiful and strong as they ran together as a one. A mixture of browns and grays and blacks and whites blurring together in a mess of muscle and grace, they continued their way to us and slowed as they enter the area we were in without fear.

"Alright kids pay attention. These amazing beast before you are Pegasus. They aren't aggressive but approach with caution. They are said to have an ability to see into your soul and see what kind of person you are but it's never been proven really. Now carefully go and mingle with them but don't annoy them or they will let you know that they are not pleased." Hagrid said as he ushered us to go and walk among the now grazing Pegasus's. Slowly with Pansy, we walked up to a two Pegasus; one was deep black and the other pure white. Seeing them this close was an amazing thing, you could see the muscles in their bodies and see their long wings curled against their bodies. Slowly I walked up to the black one and stood beside it and watched it for a moment. It seemed not to notice me but I bet it knew I was there but it ignored me and continued to eat.

It was about the size of a normal horse, little bit bigger and seemed to glow a bit in the noon sun. Its long mane and tail moved gently in the breeze as the feathers of its wings ruffled a bit. Looking away to see how everyone else was doing but it seemed no one was getting anywhere. Many of the horses snorted and moved away from them. Only Pansy and Harry and I seemed to be getting anywhere near them. A sudden nudge to my shoulder startled me as my head whipped around to see the Pegasus looking at me with deep brown swirling eyes. We stared into each other's eyes for what seemed to be forever till slowly with realizing it I brought my hand up in front of me and let it hang in the air. The Pegasus looked at it before slowly it brought its nose to rest in the palm of my hand.

Slowly I let my hand trail up to gently brush its fur and it seemed happy to let me and once again a smile creped unchecked across my face. "Stupid flee bitten horse come here!" came an angry voice a little ways away. Both of us turn to see Ron charging at a younger Pegasus before roughly grabbing it as it tried to get away. The Pegasus before me snorted angrily as another Pegasus charged past us and rammed into Ron throwing him several feet back. "Ron!" yelled Hagrid as he ran over to make sure he was alive and the Pegasus didn't continue its attack. "What do you think you were doing lad? Never ever do that to any creature!" Hagrid explained as he picked up the moaning Ron and started back to the castle. "Come along class let's get back to the castle and class is dismissed." He ordered as the students began to shuffle after him.

Slowly I turned to look at my Pegasus and gave it one last brush before sadly following. When I got to the edge of the valley I looked back to see the Pegasus looking at me as well before nodding its head and returning to eating. I didn't know why it did that but it made me feel a little better.

Well theres chapter 8, sorry it took a bit longer to get it up. Classes have held me up a bit but here it is and hopefully chapter 9 will be up within this coming week. Thank you for all your reviews and please more reviews tell me what you think. Don't be shy to tell me what you think of my story. :)
