Hellhound
"Did you hear? Hagrid has a Hellhound down at his display!"
Draco Malfoy sneered at Theo, silently asking how a Slytherin could be so cowardly, before he tossed his golden head.
"Idiot," he said, rolling his eyes. "It's probably just Fang."
"Fang?" Theo asked, his eyebrows furrowing. "Who's Fang?"
"Forgot you didn't take Care of Magical Creatures," he muttered. "Fang is the oaf's dog."
"Oh," Theo visibly relaxed. "That doesn't sound too bad."
"Might as well have a look," Pansy said, tossing her hair over her shoulder. "Could be interesting. I haven't seen one of the outside displays yet."
Draco allowed himself to be led down across the grounds towards the rustic hut. He followed his fellow housemates around the back, to the pumpkin patch.
Draco froze, his eyes widening. Hippogriffs. Hippogriffs everywhere. A cold sweat broke out over his skin as he stared at the one creature he feared the most. He barely noticed the huge, three-headed dog that had his friends petrified.
"Ah, students! Come over, yer can pet the animals!"
With a shared and rather girly scream, worthy of a Hufflepuff, the Slytherins turned as one and fled.
