"F-Fred, G-George, th-this isn't f-funny."
"We'd like to say that we're behind this," George said.
"But we're not," Fred went on. The dragon stepped closer, breathing its hot air on the faces of the students. Everyone huddled around each other, trying to stay as far away from the ugly, green dragon as possible. The dragon looked fiercely into everybody's eyes, making them all shaking with fear. Everybody, including Snape, started to hate Draco for running off and not having anything to do with the dragon. He was the one who got everyone in this mess, he should have at least been there in fear with the rest of them.
Snape looked around and breathed out one simple word. "Run." Everyone obeyed, turning and running as fast as they can. Loud thumping was heard from behind them, knowing that the dragon was following after the helpless runners. After thirty seconds of running, the dragon breathed fire. Though nobody was harmed, Ryan was forced to throw off his robes before he himself could catch on fire. "I didn't like that robe anyways," he breathed out while running as fast as he could, which was very fast.
Nobody knew how long they ran, but it did to seem to drag on forever. Until, finally, a large man appeared in front of the dragon, holding his hands out in front of him. "Alphie," Hagrid said in a calming voice. "Down boy. Down Alphie." Suddenly, the dragon sat down, stuck its tongue out, and wagged its tail, acting like a dog. Everyone turned around slowly, hair wild, breathing heavily, and looked angry.
"Hagrid?" Harry asked. "What are you doing?"
"O'im taking care of Alphie," Hagrid replied.
"You NAMED it?" Ron asked.
"Yeah."
"WHY?" Snape asked.
"The same reason I named Fluffy. He's mine."
"You mean you have a Hungarian Horntail as a PET?" Blair asked.
"Yeah. I was going to teach it at our next lesson."
"Hungarian Horntails are dangerous, Hagrid," Hermione said.
"Not Alphie."
"That dragon nearly killed us!" Ali yelled in anger.
"Nah. That's his way of saying hello."
"His way of saying hello is to chase us and nearly set us on FIRE?" Ryan asked impatiently.
"He didn't set you guys on fire."
"I nearly did because he set fire to my robes!"
"Oh...I guess I'm going to have to teach him about that."
"Damn right!" Blair yelled.
"Watch your mouth!" Trelawney and Snape yelled at the same time.
"Aw, don't they make a cute couple?" Ryan asked with an evil grin spread across his face. Suddenly, Ryan was found sprawled on the ground, with the two teachers pointing their wands at him with green sparks flying out.
"You got off easy!" Snape yelled at Ryan.
"Does Dumbledore approve of you owning a Hungarian Horntail?" Zoe asked, acting like the whole scene with the teachers attacking the student hadn't happened.
"Course he does!" Hagrid replied. "Why else would I have a dangerous animal?"
"It would be the first time," Snape muttered under his breath.
"What was that?" Hagrid asked.
"I didn't say anything!" Blair lent out a hand and helped Ryan up from the muddy ground. Ryan was covered in mud and fallen leaves.
"Lesson learned," Ryan said. "Never mess with professors who have wands when you don't."
"Why don't you have a wand?" Harry asked.
"I do. It's just that the loving couple attacked me so fast..." Ryan was found again on the ground, with the two professors pointing their wands at him.
"You're not allowed to attack students!" Hermione pleaded.
"Nobody has to know!" Trelawney yelled.
"This...coming from YOU?" Blair asked.
"What, just because I'm some freak doesn't mean I have a right to defend myself? Okay, I used to be a Slytherin. I should have been in Ravenclaw, but noooo, the Sorting Hat thought that I was so evil..."
"You are," Ryan groaned from the ground, making Blair jump and yet again help him up.
"Quiet! Do you want to be attacked again?"
"No thank you."
"You were in Slytherin?" Snape asked, making eye contact with Trelawney.
"Yes," she replied. "Not many people would believe it, but everyone except for the people in Slytherin hated my guts."
"Kind of like me."
"Can you guys please have your romance somewhere else?" Ryan asked. "And if you attack me, I'll force Hermione and Ron to report you two to Dumbledore!"
"Let's go, Alphie," Hagrid said to his dragon. The dragon and the large man went back into the dark forest.
"I still can't believe he named that thing," Ron said. The group started back to the Hogwarts grounds, when Zoe realized something.
"Hey, where's Fred and George?"
"I'm sure that they Apparated somewhere," Ron said.
"That's not possible," Blair replied. "We would have heard them if they Apparated."
"No. They invented some kind of silencer, where you can't hear anything that the person who holds it says or do."
"Why am I not surprised?" All of a sudden, a sudden yell of fear was heard from within the group. Everyone turned to see Ryan wide-eyed and staring at the blank ground.
"What's wrong?" Hermione asked quickly.
"Uh n-nothing," Ryan said. "I-I thought I saw a huge spider. They scare me to death."
"I don't blame you," Ron replied. Everyone started to walk, but Blair grabbed Ryan's shoulder and dragged him to the back of the group.
"What did you see?" Blair asked.
"The scariest thing in the world," Ryan replied. "I'm not sure if my glasses were messed up or something, but I think I saw Snape and Trelawney...holding hands."
