Woohoo! I have a tons of new ideas! Maybe it's from getting my head clear from being on vacation...
Yes, I went on vacation and couldn't work on my stories. Sorry for not saying anything.


I waved good-bye to my new friends. I loved this. This was awesome! I finally had friends. Now to hide them from Max and the others. If they found out that I had made humans friends, I knew that Max already was angry that Iggy had made friends with Luna, I didn't want to know how angry she would be with me! I was friends with her rival! What would Max think of me! I started into the wet dew of the grass. I couldn't believe it was still wet! It was late in the afternoon!

The Beauxbatons had invited me to lunch, and I had accepted. Now all I had to worry about was what the flock may have thought I had done when I didn't show up for breakfast or lunch. But I attended dinner. I groaned, thinking of my stupid mistake.

I ran across the field, wishing for the feel of wind under my wings. But I knew that I had to keep up the act. Max would kill me if she ever knew bout this! I screamed in my mind over and over again. I mean, she said that she was already going to kill Iggy, about telling Luna that we had wings! I didn't want to be on the that list! Maybe if I could convince Angel to help me...

My thoughts were interrupted as something bolted into my side. I screamed, but a hand covered my mouth. It was disgusting! I closed my mouth, and was dragged across the lawn, but I couldn't see who it was dragging me. I didn't struggle, because I wanted to know who it was. Max would kill them for me! I knew she would.

"I saw your wings." the voice muttered. My eyes grew wide against my will. The voice was cold and evil, but not that of a robot. I twisted, but I couldn't move to far. "And I'll tell everyone."

I moved, so that my mouth was above the thick hand. "You won't be able to."

"Really, and why not?" a voice laughed. I twisted my head around. There stood three boys. Two looked incredibly stupid, they were fat, but strong. Of course I could get out of their grip easily, but I didn't want to. I had to act normal, for the moment. The other boy, the one who spoke to me, had white blond hair. He was ugly!

"Trust me. Now, get away!" I snarled, tossing myself around. I didn't want to seem stronger than them, which I was, because they would keep going after me! "And what do you mean, wings? You mean like bird wings?! I wish I could be a bird. I want to fly, and touch the clouds. But I here you can use brooms for that. Something called Quiddyifich? I don't know. But maybe-"

"Crabbe, shut her up!" the ugly boy snarled. The hand moved over my mouth. I closed it, and was silent. "Don't act dumb girly, I saw your wings. When that glass fell, I looked up, and saw you and that group of kids flying! With wings."

I struggled, and got my mouth only slightly above this huge thumb! It had to be as big as a pickle! A fat pickle! "You're just as dumb as you are ugly, aren't you? People don't have wings!"

"But wizards can, if they use a haywire spell. Is that what happened to you, mudblood? Did you use a spell? Do you need to go and be locked up in St. Mungos?"

"What's St. Mungo's? I have no idea what you're talking about! Let me go!" I shouted.

"No, not until you show us your wings!"

"Max!" I yelled, before Crabbe moved his hand over my mouth again. I struggled, and his arms gave way for one second. I broke free, and got threw forward. I landed on my knees, and started to run. But I couldn't go to fast. The other boy who had been with the ugly boy's gang dove and grabbed my legs. I was dragged down, and started to move toward them. "Fang! Iggy! Angel! Gazzy!" I cried, trying to not blow my cover. But nobody came. "Anybody! Help!" I howled before Crabbe had his hand over my mouth again.

"Good going Goyle, now tell me about your wings." he snarled, drawing his wand, and putting it to my vulnerable neck. I screamed into the hand, thrashing around. I was having a fight in my mind. Give up our cover? Or beg that somebody comes to save me!

"Leave 'er alone!" a booming voice shouted. I looked over and saw a giant man rushing over. "Malfoy, get away from 'er! Or I'll give yer a detention!" The boy who had me, and the other boy started running away. I dropped to the ground with a grunt, and watched as they ran away. The ugly boy followed as well.

"My father will hear about this!"

"Fine!" I shouted back, twisting to get to an upright position.

"Yer alri' there?" the bearded man asked me, holding out his hand toward me.

"Yeah, thanks. Hagrid, wasn't it?" I asked, taking his huge hand. He helped me up.

"Yeah, yer welcom'. Wha' you do ter make them get ya like that?" has asked as I dusted off my knees.

"Dunno. I was walked toward the castle, when they ambushed me. I better be going, thanks again Hagrid!" I smiled, and started walked toward the castle.

"Wha' 'ouse are ya in? Wha's yer name?"

"I'm Nudge, Nudge from Hufflepuff!" I cried behind me as I dashed for the castle. The huge man smiled, and I ran into the Great Hall.


After getting my ear chewed out from Max about how worried she was about me. How I should have said something, I ended back in my dormitory. The girls didn't say anything, they just ignored me. I sighed and laid down on my bed. When suddenly I heard a knocking from the window. I turned to see Maskerada.

I jumped out of bed and toward the window, upon opening it my owl jumped out to greet me. I smiled, and looked down to its leg, where a small note was attached. I unrolled it, hoping that it wasn't from Max, coming to yell at me even more. But surprisingly it wasn't from her, it was from the huge bearded man, Hagrid.

Dear Nudge,
I know we've only just met,
But I wanted you ter meet
some friends of mine that I
think y
ou
'll like. Come by tomorrow
fer some tea to meet them 'round
5. Hope ter see you then.
Hagrid

I smiled at the note. Alright, I guess I could go. I'd just have to tell Max so she doesn't kill me if I don't arrive.


"You what!" Max shouted, she looked ready to strangle me. It was late in the afternoon, I had accepted the letter from Hagrid, he was just being friendly after all. I doubted that he was going to do anything to me. But Max wasn't convinced, and she was keeping me back, when I knew that it was almost five.

"It's okay Max! He was the one who saved me from those bullies. He just wants to invite me for tea, and he wants me to meet friends. I'll scream if something goes wrong, and his cabin isn't to far from Angel's and Gazzy's. Plus, he was the one who built their cabin, so wouldn't he have left some sort of trap for them? It's just tea, nothing to worry about." I pleaded.

Max sighed and looked to Fang, who just starred at her. "Fine, but if I hear or see one thing out of the ordinary happening, you're going to have to explain."

"Thank's Max!" I screamed, and started running toward Hagrid's hut.

I stopped moments before smacking into the door. That would have been embarrassing. I knocked on the door gently, and listened as the voices scrambled. I saw a girl's head in the window next to me, and then the wooden door opened. "Um, hello?" she said. I recognized her as Hermione, the girl who was always hanging out with the other boys. Max always told me she was annoying.

"Hi," I said. "Um, Hagrid asked me to come."

"Hagrid, you asked a first year to come?" I heard one of the boys say. I frowned.

"Ron, you might as well be nice," Hermione said, turning around to look at the boy who had spoken.

"Well, sorry." I heard Hagrid say. "Nudge seemed nice, and I thought you would like 'er."

"Well, come on in," Hermione sighed, and I stood into the doorway. It was small, around the same size as Angel's and Gazzy's.

"Thank's for inviting me Hagrid." I said, looking over toward the giant.

"Yer welcom'," he responded. I looked over toward the other three. They were older, much older. Then I noticed that the black-haired boy with glasses was one of the champions. I forgot his name, Larry, Perry, something like that.

"Ron, I'm telling you, she has wings! She's one of those kids." the black-haired boy whispered quietly.

"For the last time Harry, nobody has wings. Are you sure you didn't dream it?" Ron muttered. I stared at them.

"If Hagrid asks if you want anything, say no," Hermione whispered in my ear. I nodded, and smiled.

"So, um, what's been happening with you three?" I asked, mostly because after a few moments of complete silence I had no idea what to say.

"Oh, uh, things have been fine." Harry said, I looked at him, and smiled.

"Oh, oh, yeah. Great," Ron said.

"How have you been doing in school?" Hermione asked.

"Pretty good," I said, I really didn't want to talk about that. "And you?" I said, even though behind Hermione, Ron and Harry were making movements to not ask that. But as soon as I did Harry smacked his head, and Ron groaned.

"Oh, well, I've been doing excellent according to my teachers. Though I think I can improve my grade so it's much better in Defense Against the Dark Arts. But I think Professor Moody knows that I-"

"Okay! Okay!" I shouted. "I get it, you're a super genius!" Harry and Ron snickered. Hermione blinked in surprise. I think I even heard Hagrid give a quick chuckle.

After the ice had been broken, we began talking more and more. The fourth-year Gryffindor's were really nice. I told them about the Hufflepuffs, and everything. Hagrid was being extremely nice as well.

As six approached, we started to head back. "Um, Nudge, can I ask you something raelly quick?" Harry asked, I turned to look at him.

"What Harry?"

"I, don't call me crazy, but I saw your friend, Max, with a little girl. The were in a tree, with wings." he said. I blinked, and started to think on my feet, which I never really was good at.

"Well, I, uh, are you sure you weren't just hallucinating. I mean, people don't have wings. Or wizards. Nope, wizards definitely don't have wings. I mean, they might, but I would really doubt that." I said, backing up. "I mean, have you ever heard of such nonsense. Nope, definitely not me. I mean, that's crazy." I said, and started to walk forward again.

I couldn't believe it. He knew about us.
