It's not complicated, it's just not readable. Not until my nature claim me. I don't even know which side I am. Am I going to be a light or dark witch?

3 more years... and I'll know

-Buckbeak The Hippogriff-

Y/N P.O.V

Divination Class ends, now we have Care for Magical Creatures. I pack my stuff and sling my bag across my shoulder. Then I walk away with Hermione, Ron, and Harry.

"Why's your leaves like that, Y/N?" I hear Ron said. I turn to look at him and shrug my shoulders. "I don't know. But she was right about one thing. My future IS complicated..." I said. "How so?" Harry asked. "I can't tell you..." I said, sighing softly. They nod their heads, without pressing me any further.

We make it to Hagrid's hut. He gave us books. I just stare at it.

"Why are you looking at the book like that?" Harry said. I turn to look at him to see him chuckling at my reaction. "Nothing... just... this book is a bit creepy" I said. "It's magic school, Y/N. What do you expect?" He said, laughing at my comment. I just laugh nervously.

We come to a stop. "Alright! Everyone gather around the fence! Make sure you can all see! But first, I need you all to open your books!" Hagrid said, turning to look at us.

"And exactly how do we do that?" I hear Draco said. "Just strike the spine of course..." Hagrid said. I look at the book in my hand and start stroke the spine. It starts purring.

"Okay, now it's being cute..." I said, earning a laugh from my three friends. "Well, I think they're funny" Hermione said. In nod my head in agreement.

"Oh yeah... terribly funny" I hear Draco said. I turn my head to look at him. I can feel annoyance starts to build up in me.

"God this place have gone to the dogs! Wait until my father hears that Dumbledore got that Oaf teaching classes..." he said, earning laughter from his goons. I was about to open my mouth to confront him about it. But Harry beats me to it.

"Shut up, Malfoy!" Harry said, walking towards him. "Oooh~" Draco muse. He turns to look at Harry and hands his bag over to Crabbe. Then he saunter over to Harry.

He looks behind Harry and starts to look scared. He points in the sky. "D-Dementor! Dementor!!" He said. We turn around in alert, but there's nothing in the sky. We turn to look at Draco to see him and the others have put their hoods on. They starts to make a sound, mimicking the dementors.

I let out a sigh and walks towards Harry, grabbing his hand. I glare at Draco and pulls Harry with me. "Just ignore him, Harry... he's being a jerk..." I said. He just nods his head and walk along with me.

"Why are you siding him? Your first 2 weeks are as a Slytherin! You should be with us!" I hear Draco said. I scoff and turn to look at him. I walk towards him and stand face to face.

"Like I said before. There are no RULES telling me who I should and shouldn't be around with. So shut your mouth... or I'm going to apply a request to be a Gryffindor, full time..." I said. He instantly close his mouth. I roll my eyes at him and walk back towards Harry and the others.

Draco P.O.V

Potter again... why is always HIM? Why can't she just look my way once. She never stood up for me like that. Why can't she show me her caring self like she did with Potter and the others? Can't she just see how I feel about her?

Y/N... my heart ache painfully, seeing you only care for Potter

Y/N P.O.V

I lean my back against the tree. Hagrid walks back to us. He have ferrets hanging in front of his chest. He looks excited.

"Ta-da!" He said. I turn my head to where he points. There's a half eagle and half horse. "A Hippogriff..." I said, in awe. "Correct! His name is Buckbeak. They are magnificent creatures, aren't they?" Hagrid said. I just smile softly at him.

"They're gentle creatures. But they're easily trigger. So never mess with a Hippogriff..." he said. I just stare at the Hippogriff as he stares back at me.

"Any volunteer?" Hagrid said. I take a look around, but no one seems to step forward. I don't want Hagrid to feel upset, as it is his first class. He will feel discourage.

"Anyone?" Hagrid said again, turning to look at us. I let out a sigh. "I will go, Hagrid" I said, taking a step forward. His eyes gleaming in happiness. "I'll go too" Harry said.

"Ah, Harry and Y/N! Come! Come! Don't be shy..." he said. Harry and I look at each other. I give him a nod and we take a step forward. "Okay... don't be too fast. Before you approach him, you need to bow. If he bows back, then you get to approach him. If he doesn't... well... we'll get to that soon. So... who will go first?" he said, looking at Harry and I. I let out a shaky breath.

"I'll go first, Harry..." I said. "But-" he starts. "It's okay" I said. He lets out a sigh and nod his head. I turn to look at the Buckbeak. I take a few steps to him and bow. He stares at me for a few seconds. Then he bow.

Hagrid claps his hand. "Well done, Y/N! Now you get to approach him" he said. I slowly walk towards Buckbeak. I lift my hand and place it in his head.

Your highness... I hear voice. I furrow my eyebrow in confusion and glance around. I'm right here... the voice said again. I look forward to see Buckbeak.

"Y-You just..." I stuttered out. I can feel everyone's eyes on me. I look around to see them looking at me in confusion. I just clear my throat.

"Good... now you get to ride him..." Hagrid said. "Are you sure this is safe?" I said. "Oh you'll be fine. Just don't pluck out his feathers. He wouldn't like that" Hagrid said, as he picks me up and place me on Buckbeak's back. Then we soar up in the sky.

I made sure we're far away from the others. I turn my head to look forward. "So... why'd you call me, Your Highness??" I said. Because only a true witch can communicate with us... with all the magical creatures... he said. I hesitate for a moment. Then I just choose to ask it.

"Does it have to do with me being a Prime Merlin?" I asked. Yes, your highness. You're now able to talk to the magical creatures, such as me... because the magic in your blood is getting stronger... he said. "But I still don't know which side I'm in... I don't know if I'll ended up as a light or dark witch..." I said. I'm sorry, your highness... but I don't know either... he said. I just sigh and nod my head. He make a turn and we landed on the ground.

Harry pulls me into a hug. "What?" I asked, feeling confused. "I thought you're hurt..." he said. "Well... I'm okay..." I said. He pulls away and smiles at me. I just smile back. "Good luck..." I said, pushing Harry towards Buckbeak. He gulps and walks towards the Hippogriff.

"Just like Y/N... slowly now..." Hagrid said. Harry walks slowly and bow. Be nice to him, Buckbeak... he's my friend... I said, hoping Buckbeak can hear me. Okay, Your highness... he said. Then he bows at Harry. I let out a sigh of relief. Then just like me, Harry get to ride Buckbeak too.

I walk towards Ron and Hermione. Hermione pulls me into a hug. "You made me worried!" She said. I just let out a soft laugh and pat her back. "I'm okay, Mione... don't worry..." I said. I pull away from her and wait for Harry to come back.

Harry soon landed. He have a happy look on his face and I smile. "Having fun?" I asked, grinning at him. "That was awesome!" Harry said. I lift my hand and he give me a high-five.

I hear a scoff next to me and turn my head. Draco push through and walk towards Buckbeak. "You're not so dangerous at all, are ya! You big brute bird!" He said. Buckbeak turns to him and lift his front hind, slamming it down on Draco's arm.

"It's killed me! It's killed me!" Draco whined. I just walk towards him and kneels down. "Let me see your arm" I said. I grab his arm gently and inspect it.

"It's just a scratch!" Hagrid said. I turn to look at him. "He needs to be taken to the hospital!" I said. "I'm the professor... I'll take him. Well... the class is dismissed!" He said.

He picks Draco up and walk away. Draco kept whining along the way. "Oh you're going to regret this... you and your bloody chicken..." he said. I just let out a sigh at Draco's antics.

I'm sorry, your highness... I didn't know what came over me... Buckbeak said, nudging his head softly to my side. It's alright... Draco will be alright... I said, letting his head softly. He just snuggle closer to me.

The only thing bothering my mind now is what Buckbeak told me while we're in the sky... he said the magic in my blood is getting stronger. I'm really scared... what if my nature claimed me as a dark witch. What if I'll ended up hurting my friends or anyone?
