Relief of the Sky

Disclaimer: I don't own any characters, blah blah blah.

To see the smudge of brown nestled in a vast green smudge was a welcome relief to the weary travellers, Sirius and James. Both were using Buckbeak the Hippogriff to get around and they had been airborne for the past 3 days, only stopping to feed Buckbeak. In those past three days, there had been no sign of civilazation, except for the random cottage. All that was visible were mountians, an occasional lake and forest. Sometimes there were hills, but they were few. So when they saw the cleared section of forest, the travellers decided to take a rest from the monotany that had been with their journey.

Of course, there were several risks involved going to a village, what if the inhabitors were muggles? Or perhaps they were wizards, but how would they react to forriengors? Sirius led the hippogriff higher into the sky and circled the village, wondering what to do.James offered his advice, " We must land, we need the rest."

"Yes, but what if it's a hostile village? Then what?" Sirius asked anxiously.

"We simply don't tell them." James said and then added, "It's not like you to be wary of people"
Sirius didn't reply as he guided Buckbeak to the nearby forest.

Once they landed, James tied Buckbeak to a nearby tree and conjured a bowl of water, which Buckbeak drank immideatly. Sirius sat down under a tree as he watched James relieve Buckbeak of their bags. "I say you go to the villiage and explore it."Sirius said after some .
"Really? I thought that was your task." James said, stopping to untie his cloak.
"Yes, but I thought you'd like to wonder around for a while, and I'll set up camp."

Excited at the idea of browsing through a new village, James pulled out a small mirror and tidied his windblown hair. Before he left, he sat next to Sirius.

"What's wrong?"Sirius snapped out of his thoughts and looked at his friend. "I don't know. I'm tired and I need to think"
James laughed, "You think?" he asked, hopping to make Sirius laugh, but he only growled. "All right, I'll leave you to your thoughts and I'll explore the villiage."

With that, James got up, put his cloak back on and started to head west, only stopping to look back at his friend who hadn't moved at all.

Auther's note: Short chapter, yes, but I hope you like it. The story gets better, I hope. Don't worry if there's some plotholes, everything will get explained later on.
