Fluffy's Return

The next day, the Gryffindors and Slytherins were greeted by a huge three-headed dog outside of Hagrid's hut. Neville turned pale as Malfoy sneered up at it. The huge dog took this as a threat and tried to snap at him, while struggling against its chains that held it.

"That's really smart, Malfoy," a gruff voice behind them said, "You should never make direct eye contact, or show your teeth to a dog you don't know." (A/N: This is true you know!) Hagrid said. Harry, Ron, and Hermione turned around and smiled at their friend.

"Harry, Ron, Hermione, I trust that you've met Fluffy before."

They all nodded and turned their attention towards the huge dog that was now sniffing at Zelda's left pocket. She pulled out three pieces of toast from breakfast. She looked over at Hagrid for permission. He nodded, and she threw each piece of toast into the air for each head. They quickly gobbled them down. Now when I say "Gobbled", I mean "inhaled" (My dog frickin' does this all the time.)

The class then noticed that she was completely healed, except for her right hand, which had a bandage around it. Zelda rubbed the dog's middle nose with her good hand when she thought she gained its full trust.

"Well, you've made friends him with quickly." Hagrid said chuckling.

"She has this "thing" with animals." Leo said. "We have this zoo at home consisting of several animals at home. One of them is probably wandering around on the grounds somewhere."

"As long as he returns to the Gryffindor Tower." Zelda said, rubbing Fluffy's belly. The huge dog was turned over and panting happily. The rest of the Gryffindors, even Neville gathered the courage to pet him. The Slytherins hung back as usual.

Hermione and Zelda glanced over at Leo, Draco,and the rest of the Slytherins, rolled their eyes and continued to pet the huge, panting dog.
