This drabble was written by request for C. Dumbledore's birthday at The Hex Files, who asked that it include the words hood, strap, and wand.
A Noble Sport
"What are these straps for?"
Draco sighed, fumbling with the hood he was trying to remove from the falcon's head. "They're called jesses, Harry. They're like a collar, you attach a leash to them to hold the bird to the perch."
"Oh." Harry tapped his wand impatiently and Draco reached out to pluck it from his fingers before he upset the bird any further. "Why are we doing this again?"
"Because falconry is a noble sport, you git, and you asked what I liked to do in my free time."
"Yeah, but I thought it would be something more... gratifying."
