Chapter 1

Feathered Beast

It's the eighth year at Hogwarts and the three friends are still together.

"I hope that Hagrid is still here," Hermione said as she carried the crimson coloured cat, Crookshanks.

The trio were heading towards Hogwarts from the summer break.

"Why not go and see if he's here?" Rob said as he leaned onto Harry's shoulder playfully.

"I'm with Ron. Let's go drop off our stuff then go visit him," Harry said as he opened the doors of Hogwarts.

They dropped off their trunks in the Gryffindor Common Room. Ron, Harry and Hermione headed towards Hagrid's hut. Before they got close to the hut there was a terrible racket going on inside.

"Hagrid! Are you in there!?" Hermione shouted as she pounded the door, over all the racket.

"I'll be right with you, please wait a minute!" Shouted Hagrid. The trio waited in Hagrid's pumpkin patch where Buckbeak was tied up in their third year hear at Hogwarts.

A few minutes later, the door swings open. "Oh, it's you three. Please come in, I have a special treat for you all," Hagrid said as he held the door open for Ron, Harry and Hermione.

Ron noticed that Hagrid's hands were covered in little scratches and his beard had golden brown feathers stuck in it. "What happened to you?" Ron asked as they entered the disaster of a room ahead.

Books, papers and feathers all over the room. The furniture was torn and the curtains were ripped, it looked as if a creature went wild in here.

"I'll show you what happened," Hagrid said as he pulled out a box with a barred door. "When I open the box, I want you to duck or you'll get attacked," Hagrid said as he held the barred door of the box.

"Attacked by what?" Ron asked nervously. "You'll see," Hagrid said, "Now get down!"

Hagrid opened the box and all four of them ducked. There was a crazy moment when the creature went wild and smacked itself in the window and passed out. Hagrid ran over and grabbed the creature by the feet and showed it to the others.

The creature had an eagle's head and wings with a lion's body and tail. And feathers at the end of it's lion tail.

"That's a griffin!" Hermione squealed in delight. "The rarest beast in the forbidden forest. How did you find that one?" Hermione asked.

"I was out on patrol in the forbidden forest and I heard this one yelling in pain. It has been attacked by a dragon but managed to survive the attack so I named him DragonHeart. It's time to say goodbye to the little guy and I might need your help," Hagrid said as he scratched the unconscious griffin's head.

Just then, the griffin cub woke up and bit Hagrid's hand. Hagrid let go of the beast with a howl of pain as the griffin started flying around the hut. Even before anyone could see it, the griffin cub, less than half the size, pushed Hermione into a bookshelf. Hermione hit her head on the bookshelf and went unconscious then fell to the floor. The griffin pounced onto Hermione's limp form and started clawing her.

Hagrid ran over and grabbed the griffin by the wings and the back of its head. "Nasty thing," said Hagrid.

Hermione was laying on the floor, covered in scratches and had a ripped cloak. The worst scratch (although it looks more like a gash than a scratch) on her right shoulder was beginning to bleed.

"Is she okay?" Ron asked as he kneeled down beside Hermione.

Harry stood there. "The brightest witch of her age was taken down by a griffin cub? No. She going to be okay." Harry joked trying to lighten the mood of his best friend who looked close to tears.

"Let me put this little beast away then I'll take a look at her." Said Hagrid as he tacked the griffin back into the box. Hagrid came to check on Hermione. "She'll be okay. We just need to get that scratch bandaged up," said Hagrid as he picked her up. Hermione's left arm dangled while her right arm was resting on her stomach, rising and falling with each breath she took.

Just as Hagrid was about to head to castle of Hogwarts, Harry asked, "Should we stay here and watch the griffin?" Harry looked back at the box which was shaking and jumping.

"Na, he should be fine. If he gets out then he's totally ready for release today. Now come along," said Hagrid. The three of them headed towards Hogwarts with an unconscious Hermione in Hagrid's arms.
