The adventures from love and life

by coco29

It is my first Harry Potter story. Will be Harry/Multi (Harem) and probably Neville/Multi. It will start at the beginning of the third year. Slow build-up. A smarter Harry and more friends. Earlier real friends with Neville and Ginny. Can be long between updates. Bashing RW/AD/?. We have reached the fourth year how will the earlier changes change the tournament and relationships?

19. Out of the hospital wing and Buckbeak th

Chapter 19 Finally out of the hospital wing and Buckbeak, the friend

6th September 1993, Hospital wing, Hogwarts

Everybody left Madam Pomfrey's office after Madam Pomfrey asked Harry to take a seat on his bed. The first to speak was Amelia "Harry it's go..."

At that moment the hospital wing swung open and revealed Hagrid with a big smile. Hagrid saw Harry sitting in his bed and immediately walked towards Harry. "Harry, how are yeh doin'?"

Harry smiled seeing his first friend and said: "I'm fine Hagrid."

Harry saw the look from Hermione, Ginny, Katie and Madam Pomfrey around his bed and added quickly "a little tired and some muscles hurt but nothing else. The wounds don't hurt anymore and are already closed so I am fine."

Hagrid smiled and patted Harry on his back, almost pushing Harry out of his bed. Hagrid didn't notice the pained expression when Hagrid patted him. Hermione, Ginny, Katie, and Madam Pomfrey, however, saw the expression but didn't want to make Hagrid feel bad and said nothing.

Hagrid said "I need to go, Harry, need to care of the creatures. Can I talk ter yeh after the yer nex' care o' magical creatures class? I think Buckbeak wants ter apologize fer ter yeh."

Harry smiled and said "sure Hagrid that would be no problem. See you soon."

Hagrid smiled and quickly leaves the hospital wing. Susan walked towards Harry's bed a stood next to Katie. Daphne, Astoria, and Tracey stood behind Jacob and Isabel. Daphne wanted to talk to Harry but not with so many people around them.

Madam Pomfrey cast diagnostic spells and after a few minutes Madam Pomfrey said: "okay Mr. Potter you are better than this morning so you are free to go."

Madam Pomfrey turns around to face Hermione, Ginny, Susan, and Katie. Madam Pomfrey whisper so only the girls can hear that if Harry looks sick or not feeling well to bring him here. The girls smile and gave a short nod that only Neville, Amelia and Professor McGonagall see.

Amelia decided to talk to Harry now. Amelia said, "Harry I wanted to let you know that Hagrid will get a retrial on the 18th of September."

Harry smiled and said "thank you Madam Bones. I really appreciated it."

Everybody in the hospital wing sees that Harry is very happy with the retrial for Hagrid. Again the hospital wing swung doors open. Dumbledore stood in the open doorway and said "Madam Bones, Lord Greengrass and Lady Greengrass I heard you were in the castle. If you please follow me to my office we could get a drink and we can talk about why you are in the castle."

Dumbledore wanted to turn around when Jacob said: "with all due respect Professor Dumbledore, but my wife and I are here to talk with Mr. Potter about house business."

Dumbledore's smile faded but replied, "be that as it may I still ask to first talk in my office before we bother Mr. Potter with the important house business of the ancient and most noble House of Greengrass."

Jacob, Isabel, and Amelia knew that Professor Dumbledore could legally demand them to leave Hogwarts, so they reluctantly followed Dumbledore to his office and leaving Harry, Hermione, Susan, Ginny, Neville, Ron, Daphne, Astoria, Tracey, Madam Pomfrey, and Professor McGonagall behind in the hospital wing.

Madam Pomfrey gave Harry a dreamless sleep potion so Harry could sleep without a problem. Madam Pomfrey hoped that a good night's sleep will recover Harry's magical core.

Madam Pomfrey said "Mr. Potter let me give you a dreamless sleep potion. With the potion, you can have a good rest this night."

Harry said, "I don't need it Madam Pomfrey I am feeling fine."

Madam Pomfrey said, "you take it before you go to sleep or you stay another night here Mr. Potter."

Madam Pomfrey knew that Harry didn't want to stay in the hospital wing longer than necessary. Harry reluctantly grabbed the vial with the potion and put it in his pocket from his school robe.

Madam Pomfrey said, "Miss Granger, Miss Bell, and Miss Weasley make sure he drinks it before he goes to bed."

Hermione, Katie and Ginny answered in unison "yes Madam Pomfrey."

Harry heard that and groaned knowing he probably couldn't go to bed before drinking the potion. Harry was doubting if staying in the hospital was the smarter choice but 'eventually' decided that he want to sleep in his own bed and dorm.

Madam Pomfrey turned back to Harry and said: "then Mr. Potter you are free to go and I don't want to see you here for an injury before Christmas."

Harry gave a small smile and said: "believe me Madam Pomfrey I also hope this is my only injury this year but I do want to keep my personal bed with your excellent care."

Madam Pomfrey turned towards Professor McGonagall with a scowl which quickly turned into a small smile when Professor McGonagall avoided looking at Madam Pomfrey from embarrassment. Professor McGonagall still felt some guilt that Harry got hurt the first year even when he warned her about someone trying to get the stone and just a few months ago with the chamber. It always looked like Harry knew things the Professor didn't. Again Professor McGonagall vowed to do better so if Harry suspected something he would tell her because he trusted her and she would help him. However, Professor McGonagall knew it would take time before Harry would trust and do that again.

When she finally looked up when she didn't feel Madam Pomfrey's eyes burn in her anymore she saw that she was alone but the door to Madam Pomfrey's office was open almost like an invite so she stepped inside and closed the door behind her before taking a seat and the tea that waited for her.

6th September 1993, outside Hospital wing, Hogwarts

Daphne, Astoria, and Tracey walked past everybody and walked towards the grand staircase to return to their common room. Astoria wanted to stay but Daphne said before the school year to follow her lead when they were together. Daphne really wanted to talk but even without her parents, there were too many people especially the Weasel, Ron. Daphne didn't have a problem with Ginny at least she didn't glare at her as Ron did, but she did glare though it just was not the same as the Weasel.

After that Hermione, Ginny, Neville, Katie, and Harry said goodbye to Susan before heading toward the common room. Ron said nothing but only gave a low groan when they were saying goodbye which meant they were later in the common room even though it may only take a minute.

Nothing was said between Harry, Ron, Neville, Ginny, Katie, and Hermione on the way back. Harry was thinking about the new classes he missed and remembered he needed to do some homework. Harry was also thinking about when he should go to the chamber of secrets and when to visit Dobby.

Hermione was thinking about classes she had and already planning a schedule to pass the exams at Christmas and the end of the year.

Ginny was also thinking about her classes but decided which books she needed to reread from the first year because she didn't remember most of her classes after February last school year. Ginny was hoping she could practice Quidditch this year, hoping in a few years she could play in the Gryffindor house team.

Katie thought about her classes which a few she needed help with. She forgot the lessons she had Friday afternoon she heard during lunch that Harry was in the hospital wing very wounded. She just couldn't focus on her classes. Katie also thought about Quidditch practice she had learned some new moves with Angelina and Alicia a few days ago.

Neville was thinking about what he forgot and suddenly it came to him, with Harry in the hospital wing and reading for some classes he forgot to do the actual homework and suppressed a groan.

Ron was thinking about food and how to get some, Quidditch, Chudley Cannons and how long he could still skiff off his homework before he needed to do it and groaned a bit when he needed to do homework before tomorrow and hadn't started yet.

All the girls and Neville were hoping Harry wouldn't end up in the hospital wing soon, but somehow they felt except Ron Harry will not be so lucky. Ron was looking around in wonder thinking about how to do as little work on his homework as possible hoping Hermione would do most of it.

6th September 1993, Gryffindor common room, Hogwarts

When they opened the portrait and walk inside Harry was welcomed by Fred and George like he was her for the first time before they got slapped on their back and called prats by Angelina and Alicia.

Harry wanted to go upstairs but before he could disappear, Hermione, grabbed him and forced him to sit. First, she told him about the homework he needed to do before the next classes and gave him a few parchments where she had already written some lines to help Harry. Everyone but Snape gave him an extension. Snape took points away from Gryffindor and gave him a zero but that was expected. Harry still needed to hand that in the next lesson including the new homework.

After almost three hours of completing almost everything for the next day, Harry was exhausted just like Ron who waited just long enough before beginning with his homework and Neville who just forgot what the homework was.

They wanted to head upstairs when Hermione who wasn't tired at all grabbed Harry again and pushed him back to the chair and grabbed the vail out of Harry's robe. Hermione put the vial on the table in front of him and said: "drink it."

Harry tried to look for help but saw Hermione's, Katie's and Ginny's determined faces and knew that arguing was useless. When he drank it Hermione fell in her seat next to Ginny with a sigh. Ginny was reading the charms textbook for the first years while the third years were working on their homework. Katie was done and went upstairs after Harry drank it.

When Ginny saw that she thought 'Hermione is probably just working ahead or she still needed to do something because of all the electives, normally she would be done before everybody else started.'

Harry was already becoming sleepy and almost stumbled but Neville and Ron helped him upstairs and into bed.

6th September 1993, Dumbledore's office, Hogwarts

Meanwhile, in Dumbledore's office, Professor Dumbledore said behind his desk. Amelia, Jacob, and Isabel said in the chair across from Professor Dumbledore after declining a lemon drop. A house-elf brought them tea but before they could grab it another house-elf popped. "No" was all that the house-elf said before popping away with the teapot and bringing another teapot one a second later.

Dumbledore looked a bit surprised but didn't let it show just like Amelia and Jacob. Isabel, however, was looking in astonishment. Everyone but Dumbledore was wondering why the second house-elf brought another teapot. Amelia, Jacob, and Isabel got the feeling they know the second elf but they didn't know from where.

Nobody knew what to say finally Dumbledore said: "well that was interesting."

Fawkes sang a disappointed tune and flamed out. Dumbledore continued with "please take some tea and then we can talk."

After everybody took a cup of tea Amelia started "Professor Dumbledore I am not here as director of the DMLE but as a concerned parent. Susan was lucky Ha- Mr. Potter saved her or she could have been seriously hurt if not worse. I am here as Madam Bones, regent of the most ancient and most noble house of Bones."

Professor Dumbledore nodded and looked at Jacob and Isabel.

Jacob said "my wife and I are also here as a concerned parents. Daphne was also lucky and we wanted to know how Daphne was coping with the attack where Mr. Potter got hurt. Daphne is after all the primary heiress for the ancient and most noble house of Greengrass."

Isabel continued after her husband "the girls are only 13. We wanted to be here if they needed to talk to a parent or anything else. However, both Daphne and Susan are the primary heiress of their house. Because the (primary) heir of house Potter saved our girls, we as members of the sacred twenty-eight or I rather say twenty-nine because the Potters have the right to be in it."

Jacob interrupted his wife who was losing track of what she wanted to say. Isabel was always mad when the sacred twenty-eight came up, Lily was after all one of her best friends.

"What my wife wanted to say is Mr. Potter saved the lives without causing the threat, without looking out for own harm and to what we heard without expecting something in return. In fact, my daughter and Madam Bones' niece owns a debt and House Greengrass always pays their debt I guess House Bones also does, but because Mr. Potter saved the primary heiresses not only our house but also the heiresses themselves own Mr. Potter a debt. That was what we wanted to talk about."

Dumbledore knew the traditions well, he was a great upholding in keeping the tradition. Fortunately, the wizengamot was almost unanimous about keeping the tradition.

Dumbledore said "I know the traditions very well also what needs to be done. However, Harry will not collect any time soon I assure you and because of that, I don't see the reason you need to speak to Harry. Also as his magical guardian, I will tell him when I think the time is right."

Jacob had noticed Harry didn't have his heir ring on his hand. 'Normally you will get it when you were older but because he is the last of House Potter. If his parents were still alive they choose if he would wear it before he becomes of age but unfortunately his parents are gone' Jacob thought.

Jacob asked Dumbledore "Professor Dumbledore why doesn't Mr. Potter wear his heir ring. I know he is underage but as the last of House Potter and certainly because House Potter is a most ancient and most noble house Mr. Potter is almost required to wear his ring. Mr. Potter should be called Heir Potter unless in a class setting."

Dumbledore looked to Jacob and said "as his magical guardian I deem that Harry is too young and immature at the moment. Harry shouldn't be burdened with his House and therefore advised Harry to not wear his Heir ring. Harry first needs to learn magic before he can accept his place in our society and I told the staff to not bring up his House as that would lead to pain because he never knew his parents and grandparents."

Dumbledore took a sip from his tea before he continued "I told Harry enough about his House and ancestry but Harry doesn't want to talk about it just like he doesn't like people talking to him befriending him because he is the-boy-who-lived. Harry wants friends for him, not his fame or the (political) power of his house."

Amelia thought 'so Harry knows about his house but doesn't want to talk about it. I can understand that Susie was the same a couple of years back when I wanted to talk about it. I would make talking to Susie a bit more difficult this Christmas but she needs to know."

While Amelia was thinking that Jacob and Isabel were looking at each other like they were having a silent conversation before Jacob gave reluctantly a very small nod. Isabel gave a smile she knew she won this battle.

Amelia, Jacob, and Isabel weren't sure if Dumbledore took the right way but Dumbledore is Harry's guardian while he is at school and therefore has the right especially if Harry agreed. Dumbledore said Harry did so Amelia, Jacob and Isabel decided it was better if they left.

Jacob and Isabel were offered to use the headmaster's floo. Amelia said, "Professor Dumbledore have you already informed Hagrid of his retrial on the 18th?"

Dumbledore said "unfortunately not I was very busy and it just slips my mind. I assume you want to tell him?"

Amelia said, "I think that would be best because I need to see the hippogriff that hurt H- Mr. Potter, anyway."

Dumbledore gave Amelia a fake smile. 'Amelia was doing too much to gain Harry's trust, that wasn't good. Harry needs to trust me and only me, it is for the greater good after all' Dumbledore thought.

Dumbledore continued the thought with 'I need to keep a close eye on Harry especially when girls get involved and he started to notice them. The wrong choice isn't good for the greater good.'

Amelia stood up while Dumbledore was thinking. Amelia waited for Dumbledore to say something. A few minutes passed but nothing was said. Amelia finally said "now if you will excuse me I will go to Mr. Hagrid and after that, I will head home. I will ask Professor McGonagall to use her floo so I don't have to bother you. Good day headmaster."

Dumbledore replied, "and a good day to you Madam Bones."

Dumbledore didn't think it was a good idea to antagonize Amelia at this moment. 'Freeing Hagrid could work for the greater good and if not, Hagrid trust me completely so the chance it would be bad for the greater good is small' Dumbledore thought when Amelia closed the door.

6th September 1993, Hogwarts Castle

Amelia walked until she reached the great hall, it was already after curfew. She didn't see anyone. She walked through the door and looked for the trail that would lead to Hagrid's cabin and the Forbidden Forest.

Normally there still would be light but the Dementors on the Hogwarts border made it look like it was night already. She found the trail and was saw the cabin with the lights on. When she neared the cabin she saw a hippogriff in the pumpkin garden. Amelia knocked on the door and heard a dog barking on the inside. Amelia heard a loud voice saying "shut it, Fang."

The door opened and in front of her was Hagrid the groundkeeper of Hogwarts, half-giant. Hagrid said "Madam Bones wha' can I do fer yeh? Weren't yeh here just fer Harry? Yeh was in the hospital wing ter see 'im righ'?"

Amelia first said "Hello Mr. Hagrid" before she would answered the questions.

Hagrid immediately interrupted her " 's just Hagrid Madam Bones."

Amelia smiled and said "okay then Hagrid. I am here to tell you that you have a court date before the wizengamot on 18th September. The time is not known yet but that will be decided in the next couple of days, I will make sure that you will get the right time."

Hagrid started sobbing "I didn' think Malfoy was tha' fast. Even tha' I need ter appear fer the wizeng'mot beca'se o' Bucky. Bucky didn' want ter do it is just how he is and let me assure yeh tha' he isn't dangerous Madam Bones."

Amelia put her hand up making Hagrid stop talking. "Hagrid I am not here because of the hippogriff but I want to see Buckbeak if that is possible, but before doing that I will explain why you need to appear for the full wizengamot."

"Please come in, Madam Bones. Care fer some tea?"

Madam Bones walked and even though it was small it seems very homely and cosy. She took a seat and said, "tea would be wonderful thank you."

Hagrid asked, "an' some rock cake?"

Amelia saw the rock cake. It looked just like that, rocks and she politely declined the rock cake. She got her tea and took a sip. It tasted wonderful she never tasted tea like that before. After Amelia took another sip she got ready for the explanation.

Amelia said "Hagrid I heard this summer that last school year the chamber of secrets was reopened. Later I heard that you were sent to Azkaban without a trial. I know that you got a trial almost 50 years ago and were convicted but because you were underaged only your wand privilege was taken from you. Dumbledore offered you this job if I am correct?"

Hagrid nodded but didn't say anything.

"However this time the attacks did not stop and someone has evidence that will prove your innocence. I managed to get you a retrial to give you your wands privilege back and of course compensation for the injustice that has been done to you. I must say that if you get convicted then there is a chance that you will still go to Azkaban but that chance is small because you already were convicted for the crimes and there is no evidence that you had anything to do with the chamber of secrets being reopened this year" Amelia said.

Amelia took a big breath before continuing. "Hagrid I have gathered support and with the gathered support we got enough votes to give you a retrial like I already said. I believe that with the evidence I collected and support from members we can prove your innocence. I think we got a very good case with evidence that will show that your creature wasn't the creature that attacked and killed the muggleborn witch Myrtle Warren. The case notices mentioned that the creature you had was an Acromantula named Aragog right?"

Amelia remembered the name Aragog from Harry's memories. Hagrid clearly said Aragog is not the monster.

Hagrid said, "tha' is righ'."

Amelia needed to ask "Hagrid and you are sure Aragog didn't attack any students or even killed students?"

Hagrid said, "I am sure tha' Aragog didn' attack students or any staff fer tha matter and certainly didn' kill any student or staff."

Amelia smiled and said, "okay Hagrid just needed to be sure."

Hagrid gave a smile. Amelia grabbed a few documents out of her robe and put them on the table.

Amelia said "Hagrid here are a few documents that I think you would need. This first one is about how a trial or in your case and a retrial will develop. The next one is how to act inside a courtroom for the full wizengamot mostly for muggleborns or muggle raised but I think you will benefit from it. The last document contains a list of law wizards that may want to take your case."

Hagrid grabbed the documents but said "I don' have money ter afford a law wizard. I don' have much money most I need I get from Hogwarts. I get paid some money as gamekeeper an' now as a Professor but tha' would be nowhere near enough."

Amelia understands Hagrid's position. However, there was one person that will represent him if I drop Harry's name. She was the law witch for the old alliance, but she is also a mediwitch. She got her law witch license during the rise of You-Know-Who she was already a mediwitch when she got her law witch license. Her husband Ted Tonks was in America for the next few weeks to learn how and help American law wizards do their job within the muggle world.

Amelia smiled at Hagride and said "Hagrid if you want I can look for a law wizard or witch. I got already have someone in mind that would probably want to take your case."

Hagrid wanted to protest again, but Amelia put up her hand and said "the money is no problem at the moment. That can be taken care of at a later date. Of course, you can defend yourself Hagrid but that would not be wise."

Hagrid replied, "but I am innocent yer said so yourself Madam Bones."

Amelia sighed and thought 'why is he making a problem about this?'

"Hagrid believes me I do, but we need to convince other members that you didn't do it. If possible I would represent you but after consideration, I have more power if I sit in the wizengamot as director of the DMLE and regent of house Bones. I got an extra vote during trials like this."

"Hagrid how about this, I got a meeting the night for your trial why don't you come and I invite a law witch that would happily take your case. You can talk to her and decide after. How do you think about that?"

Hagrid thought about it for a few minutes. Hagrid saw Amelia waiting but getting impatient.

Hagrid said "okay Madam Bones if yeh think tha' is a good idea I agree. I need someway ter get ter yer house Madam Bones. I can' apparate an' the most fireplaces are too small. Madam Rosmerta from the Three Broomsticks an' Tom from the Leaky Cauldron in London has expanded the fireplaces tha' are connected ter the floo so I can floo in or out but houses don' have tha', which is underst'ndable."

Hagrid sighed "even if yer had Madam Bones. With the dementors at the border, I can' reach Hogsmeade if I wanted ter. While normally I go at least three times a week on me own ter enjoy a butterbeer or firewhiskey."

Amelia said "no problem Hagrid, I provide your travel to and from here. I will owl you but don't tell anyone but Professor McGonagall of Madam Pomfrey. If we surprise Headmaster Dumbledore that means we surprise the darker families that we can use in our advance to make sure you are innocent."

"Are you sure Madam Bones? Headmaster Dumbledore, the good man helped me all those years ago I don' want ter betray 'im" Hagrid said narrowing his eyes a bit.

Madam Bones noticed the facial expression of anger and distrust. Amelia didn't let it show but how Hagrid looked was almost very scary. Amelia said, "yes I am sure Hagrid and you don't betray Professor Dumbledore trust me."

Hagrid still looked angry with distrust at Amelia. Amelia decided to say the name that Hagrid also trust.

"Hagrid I talked with Harry yesterday and today, he heard that you will get a retrial. I don't know how but I am sure that he would want you to be cleared. A law wizard and the surprise could help us. Harry trust me, can you do to?"

Hagrid gave a smile and said what Amelia suspected "if Harry trusts yeh so do I."

Amelia smiled. Amelia said "that is great Hagrid. Now about Buckbeak, is that the hippogriff that is outside?"

Hagrid said "yes. I wanted ter put 'im back with the other hippogriffs but he refused. I think he first wan' ter see tha' Harry is okay before he will return to his herd."

Amelia smiled while thinking 'it seems most people and creatures like Harry.'

Amelia said, "is he calm?"

Hagrid smiled "yes if yeh treat him like yeh suppose ter treat hippogriffs."

Amelia tried to remember how to treat them and she remembered. Amelia wanted to know if Hagrid learned his students the right things and said: "I think I forgot can you help me?"

Hagrid smiled "of course tha' is no problem."

They walked outside and went towards Buckbeak. Hagrid said, "Madam Bones I guess yeh know tha' hippogriffs are very proud an' immensely dangerous if yeh don' handle them correctly."

Amelia nodded and Hagrid grabbed Buckbeak's leash and patted him.

"Madam Bones when ye approach a hippogriff yeh need show proper etiquette. Now, firs' thing yeh gotta know abou' hippogriffs is they're proud. Easily offended, hippogriffs are. Yeh walks towards him, and yeh bow, an' yeh wait. When yeh bow yeh must maintain eye contact without a single blink. If he bows back, yeh're allowed to touch him. If he doesn' bow back well yeh need to retreat while maintaining eye contact."

Amelia did what Hagrid said because it was what she learned many years ago. Buckbeak almost immediately bows back and Amelia walks towards him and pats him. After that Hagrid throws a ferret in the air and Buckbeak grabs the ferret to eat it.

Amelia turned to Hagrid and said "it seems that you are right Buckbeak is like a hippogriff should be. He also seems very friendly."

Amelia almost jumped in the air when Buckbeak pushes his head against her shoulder wanting another pat for her. Amelia complied and said "I need to go. It is getting late. Hagrid I will send you an owl with the information about your trials time and the time for the meeting in Bones Manor including the way to travel there."

Hagrid said "thank yeh Madam Bones. I will see yeh the 17th September than at Bones Manor."

Amelia said "goodbye Hagrid."

What both of them didn't see was a large black dog sitting at the edge of the forbidden forest intently what happened while giving a little whine while looking at Amelia. Because it was now dark outside the black dog was almost invisible because it was cloudy so no light from the moon.

When Amelia was out of sight, the black dog turned the other way and walked towards the Whomping Willow using the dark as cover.

Amelia walks back to the castle to use the floo. When she walks in she sees Professor McGonagall just leaving the great hall.

Amelia said "Professor McGonagall can I use your office's floo to go home?"

Professor McGonagall says "of course, it is on my patrolling route anyway."

On the way back Professor McGonagall asked how the talk with Hagrid went. Amelia told Professor McGonagall a summary of the talk just when she was done they reached her office. Amelia immediately flooed home after saying goodbye and Professor McGonagall controlled patrolling.

7th September 1993, the edge of the forbidden forest right after the fourth period

Harry was talking with Hermione, Ron, and Neville while following Hagrid. Hagrid kept Buckbeak out of sight when the class approached. This morning Professor McGonagall asked Hagrid if he has something less dangerous for the third and fourth-year students? While Hagrid learned the fifth year students about hippogriffs he would be extra careful.

Hagrid reluctantly said he didn't prepare something else but he could before the second period when he would teach the fifth years and postpone the hippogriff lesson for later in the year.

Ron said "couldn't we do this later it is lunchtime. We do need to eat."

Hermione rolls her eyes. Neville thinks 'why does he want to eat now. This is important for Harry, Hagrid, and Buckbeak.'

Harry replies and said, "Ron if you want to get lunch you can go, you don't need to be here if you don't want to."

Ron looks happily and said "okay" and walks away without saying to get lunch in the great hall.

Hermione again rolls her eyes before saying "come on Hagrid has probably already retrieved Buckbeak and I don't want to be late for the next class."

Harry nods to Hermione and Hermione walks towards Hagrid's cabin followed by Harry and Neville.

Neville said, "but Hermione we got Herbology after this that is close from Hagrid's cabin even if we lunch in the great hall."

Harry said, "Hermione, Neville is right."

Hermione turns around and says "I want to go to the library before going to Herbology."

Harry says "if you want to go to the library, you can go you don't have to be here if you don't want to."

Hermione thinks for not more than a second before continuing to walk toward Hagrid's cabin.

Harry follows Hermione with Neville right behind Harry with a smile on his face thinking 'like Hermione would leave Harry go alone while she knows it is important to Harry in some way. Not to mention important for Hagrid and Buckbeak.'

They reached Hagrid's Cabin and already see Hagrid patting Buckbeak. Buckbeak looks past Hagrid and walks quickly past him. Buckbeak stands about 60 feet away from Harry, Hermione, and Neville.

Hermione didn't expect this and took a few steps back. Harry took a few steps forward. When Harry and Buckbeak look into each other eyes. Before Harry gets a chance to bow Buckbeak bows and walks toward Harry.

Harry is stunned. Hagrid said that the hippogriffs are proudful creatures and that you should bow but now Buckbeak did it before Harry. Hagrid also looks stunned. Buckbeak is only a few feet away and is coming closer. Only a few seconds later Buckbeak pushes his head against Harry's head and mindlessly Harry starts to pat Buckbeak over his head and beak.

Hagrid looks a bit lost and walks towards Harry and Buckbeak. Neville has a smile on his face while Hermione is looking almost in awe.

Hermione said when Hagrid approached "Hagrid didn't you say that hippogriffs are proudful" and Hagrid nods.

Hermione continues "I read that they never bow before a human bow, but Harry didn't bow yet."

Hagrid said, "well Hermione I have never seen it before, until now."

Harry gave a sly smile and Hermione gave him a slap saying "prat."

Buckbeak sees this and gave Hermione an angry screech. Hermione looks in fear at the hippogriff. Harry pats Buckbeak and said "easy their boy she didn't mean it, she didn't hurt me… much. She doesn't mean to hurt me."

It looks like Buckbeak understands Harry and Buckbeak thought 'I liked this human almost just as much as the large human.' Buckbeak gave a screech that looks like he is sorry.

Harry suddenly hears a know hoot and sees Hedwig fly down towards him. She lands on Harry's shoulder before bumping her head against Harry. Harry is now patting a hippogriff and his owl at the same time.

Hedwig hoots something at Buckbeak. Buckbeak screeches something back and steps away from Harry and locks eyes with Hermione. Hagrid says "Hermione bow."

Hermione quickly does what Hagrid says while keeping her eyes looking at Buckbeak. After what felt like an entirety Buckbeak bows. Hermione slowly approaches Buckbeak to pat him and Buckbeak pushes his head in her hand for a pat.

After keep saying to Neville to also try to pat him for about 15 minutes Neville reluctantly agrees to do it. Buckbeak bows around the same time as Hermione needed. Neville pats him. Buckbeak quickly goes back to Harry after Hermione and Neville pat him. They both think 'it seems that Buckbeak likes Harry a lot."

Hagrid gives 25 points to Gryffindor. Harry gets 15 points for bravely facing the creature that hurt you badly. Both Neville a Hermione get 5 points for learning about hippogriff in their free time.

Half an hour after arriving they left. Buckbeak bends her head once more for a pat and Harry, Hermione and Neville agree to pat Buckbeak.

They reached the great hall with Hedwig still on Harry's shoulder they took a seat halfway off the table. They see Ron but Hermione dragged Harry away with Neville following and decided to sit with Ginny who is happily talking with a few from her year. When Harry sees that he got a big smile, it seems that after last year everything went right for her now.

Ron was eating as his life depended on it. Harry, Hermione, and Neville first wanted to sit with him, but Hermione had dragged Harry away with Neville following them. Ron was eating like a pig again but. Hermione was looking with disgust in her eyes at him. It was probably that this morning Ron again accused Hermione that Crookshanks ate Scabbers wasn't it that he found Scabbers a few minutes later on the table in the common room and didn't apologize to Hermione. That including his eating habits seems to be too much for Hermione right now.

Harry, Hermione, and Neville took a seat. Harry grabbed some for himself and grabbed some water for Hedwig. Unfortunately, there weren't bacon strips for Hedwig. Harry took a few sausages and cut the sausage into pieces and feed them to Hedwig. Hedwig tastes them she hoots.

Harry says "sorry Hedwig they didn't have bacon right now. I know you like that very much but the sausage isn't bad right?"

Hedwig hoot again. Harry sighed and just said, "I know, girl." Harry suddenly feels something in his lap and sees a bag of owl treats with bacon flavour. It is a new bag the one he has is already open. He grabs the bag and open it and gave her a few treats.

After Hedwig eats a handful of treats she nibs his ear and bumps her head against his, Harry gave her a scratch and Hedwig nibs his finger before taking off back to the owlery.

Harry puts the owl treats next to him on the table when Hermione said 'where did you get those from Harry?"

Harry said "I don't know but I just suddenly got it. I didn't trust it but the bag was closed so no problem I thought."

Harry thought about the same and suddenly he knew 'I must have been Dobby just like with my clothes this morning and yesterday morning.'

Harry really needs to thank Dobby he thought. Neville asked Ginny "Ginny how are you doing today?"

Ginny smiled and said, "I am doing good although we just had double potions."

Harry groaned and said, "how bad was it?"

Ginny said, "not so bad, we only lost 20 points today."

Neville said "only 20, good job."

Hermione was glaring at all three of them. Professor Snape is still a teacher that needed to be respected. Harry saw that and said, "Hermione how do you find the classes this year?"

Hermione's glare transformed into a smile and started talking about all the new interesting subjects. Harry was trying to listen but was distracted.

After Harry was done eating he stood up and said that he needed to go to the Gryffindor tower to get his books for the rest of the day. When he left the great hall with Neville who also needed to get his books he felt many pairs of eyes on him and Neville from every table even Slytherin.

On the way to the tower, Neville was talking about herbology. Harry listened but was thinking about trying to really start running in the morning or evening. The morning was better but the last few days he wasn't able to really start. He was in the hospital wing and this morning he woke up when breakfast already started because of the dreamless sleep potion though.

Harry decided to do it immediately after dinner and then tomorrow morning if he woke up early again, he almost always does mostly from nightmares though. But when he is with his relatives he never wakes up after 6.

When they had their books they returned just in time to see Hermione and Ron waiting for them but Hermione clearly wanted to ignore Ron. While Ron was holding Scabbers and giving him scraps. Ron said when Harry and Neville came close "I am not going to let you get eaten by that monster Crookshanks."

Ron noticed Harry and Neville "come on let's go."

Harry gave Ron a bag and noticed that it was his bag with his books. Ron looks confused and said, "why did you get my bag and brought the books?"

"Because you need them with the following classes!" Harry replied.

Ron said "Nah that wasn't needed Herbology is practical and we got a free period before muggle studies. If we needed a book for Herbology I will just use the book my partner brought. So Harry partners?"

Harry didn't want to work with Ron and said: "no sorry Ron I am partnering up with Neville."

"Great than Hermione can with Nev-…." Ron looks angry.

"WHAT YOU ARE GOING WITH LONGBOTTOM? Well, Hermione, I think we can partner up then." Ron said somewhat more happily knowing that Hermione will do most of the work.

Hermione said in a bitter tone "I ask Fay to partner up yesterday."

Ron looks confused and angrily walks away. Hermione didn't ask but she thought that Fay would probably work with her. Fay was the girl she best gets along with in her dorm. Right at that moment Lavender, Parvati, and Fay walk out of the great hall laughing.

"Hey, Fay do you want to be my partner in herbology?" Hermione almost hesitantly asked.

Fay looked surprised she wasn't good in herbology and Hermione was one of the best. Because she wasn't good nobody wanted to pair up with her in herbology. Fay was planning if she didn't improve to ask Hermione to help her or even pair up with her. She didn't know that someone was better than Hermione even just. (A/N she doesn't know about Neville not really friends ... yet)

Fay happily said, "yes Hermione I would love to."

The group walks towards herbology greenhouses.

Let's end here. I hope you like it. I hope you already read my second story if not please check it out.

The next chapter will contain Harry hearing about his death from students that follow divination and the meeting. If the words allow it then we got a part of Hermione's birthday.
