A magical journey that begins in Azkaban

Facing Hagrid's invitation, most students couldn't help but shrink back. Even Harry and Ron felt a twinge of fear.

Buckbeak seemed restless, shaking his head and irritated by the uncomfortable collar around his neck. He even spread his powerful wings, as if to show that he was unwilling to accept such constraints.

The actions of the big monster in front of them made the little wizards even more frightened.

Neville looked at Buckbeak anxiously, his voice trembling: "Hermione, aren't you scared?"

Hermione was stunned for a moment and looked at the monster with fluttering wings. Although he acted ferocious, he didn't feel the slightest fear.

She thought seriously for a moment, maybe it was because she had seen a giant dragon up close. The hippogriff is to the dragon what the ant is to the elephant. The way it flaps its wings, far from frightening her, actually looks a bit cute.

So, Hermione raised her hand and made a little gesture and said, "Well... I'm still a little scared."

Facing the sudden silence, Hagrid was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to do. Seeing that his first lesson was about to fail completely, he asked in pleading words: "Who wants to give it a try?"

No one responded to Hagrid's words, making the situation even more embarrassing. Just when Hagrid was about to despair, he only heard one voice below: "I'll do it!"

At this time, everyone took a look and saw a bald head (crossed out) coming out of the front row.

"Wow, it's Harry."

Harry stood up bravely for his friends.

Ron and Patil couldn't help but take a breath and whispered to him: "Harry, think about your tea prophecy."

Although Professor McGonagall told everyone that Trelawny's unfortunate predictions were just a means to scare students every year. But this is the magical world after all, and any omen means something more or less.

What if, what if Trelawney's prophecy was true? What if Harry's misfortune is due to the big monster in the distance?

Harry ignored his friend's dissuasion, crossed the fence decisively, and walked resolutely towards Hagrid. At this moment, many people looked at Harry with admiration.

Although Harry is always impulsive, if he becomes his friend, Harry will rush over to help regardless of danger, even in the face of danger. Patil's eyes were shining with stars, and his heart was about to melt at the brave Harry.

Roger looked at Harry's back and sighed softly: "What a brave man."

Despite Harry's aura, he couldn't stand up to them. But Rogge never despised their courage, even though in most cases, he thought that courageous behavior was stupid.

"Well done, Harry!" Hagrid shouted, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"Okay, let's see how you and Buckbeak get along." He untied the chain and took off the leather collar around its neck.

Now, this hippogriff has no fear of restraint. It can jump up at any time and kill people with its front legs like eagle claws.

The students in the paddock were stunned and held their breaths one by one. Many people gripped their wands tightly, fearing that the monster in front of them would go crazy.

"Relax, Harry~" Hagrid reminded in a low and friendly voice, "You and him must look at each other. Don't blink or hide."

Hagrid said in the softest voice possible: "Buckbeak is very sensitive. If you blink too hard, he will not trust you..."

Harry tried to open his eyes wide and stared at Buckbeak's eagle head. His eyes were so sore that he wanted to cry, but he never closed them.

Finally, Buckbeak turned his head and stared at Harry with his huge, round orange eyes.

"Bow first..." Hagrid reminded, "Be polite and bow to the end."

Harry took a step back with his left leg and bowed deeply as Hagrid asked. He bent over, exposing the back of his neck to Buckbeak unabashedly.

Buckbeak remained hostile and unmoved by Harry's bow. Fortunately, he did not launch a sneak attack.

"Ah." Hagrid sighed helplessly. Seeing Buckbeak waving his wings in disgust, he said worriedly: "Okay, back off, now!"

Harry was about to step back when he accidentally broke a branch. The snap of a branch breaking echoed through the silent paddock, as if it was an alarm activating Buckbeak.

Buckbeak shook his head and chirped several times. He shook his body as if preparing for an attack.

"Don't move!" Hagrid suddenly shouted.

Harry stopped quickly, still maintaining his bowing posture, and looked up at Buckbeak uneasily.

Just then, to Harry's great surprise, the Hippogriff suddenly bent down and bent its scaly front legs. Then it sank down and bowed to Harry in an obvious gesture.

The scene of a man and an animal bowing to each other seems to be frozen, and it looks somewhat harmonious from the side.

Seeing Harry successfully complete the performance, Malfoy couldn't help but feel angry and angry. He secretly pointed his wand forward, intending to cast a spell on the monster.

Rogge caught a glimpse of his little movement from the corner of his eye and turned to glare at him. Malfoy held his tongue and reluctantly took his wand back.

"Well done, Harry!" Hagrid was ecstatic. Harry's success gave his first lesson a good start.

Harry breathed a sigh of relief and slowly straightened up.

"Yes, you can touch him now! Pat his beak, pat!" Hagrid encouraged loudly.

Harry slowly walked towards Buckbeak and tentatively stretched out his hand. Before Harry could get close, Buckbeak took the initiative to poke his head over.

Harry patted the monster's beak gently, and Buckbeak lazily closed his eyes, enjoying and liking this feeling.

Seeing Harry's success, all the students applauded. Under the leadership of Rogge, Malfoy also reluctantly chirped a few times.

"Why?" He approached Rogge and asked in a low voice.

"This is class," Roger warned, then reminded him: "It's always easy to start, but hard to end."

Rogge tilted his head and explained in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "If you want to cause trouble, or even cause someone to be harmed, then show yourself to protect him."

Malfoy looked at Rogge in confusion, and Rogge had no choice but to explain more clearly: "No wizard is willing to deal with a guy with bad records, and you'd better not have such a reputation."

"Only when the other party thinks you are a friend, will he trust you and give his back to you." Rogge looked at the scene of harmony between humans and animals, and said quietly: "Then, you can do whatever you want."

Roger's eyes crossed Hagrid's huge figure and stayed on Harry. Many years ago, his father James temporarily changed the secret keeper, which triggered a series of tragedies.

The reason? Peter is one of James' most trusted friends, maybe second only to Sirius Black.

James completely opened his back to Peter without reservation, but Pettigrew did not choose to carry the mountain on his back. He was a man who wanted to make James feel deeper and more painful.

So, he decisively launched a backstab, a brutal one.

The Fidelity Charm is a powerful secrecy spell that can hide secrets deep within a person's soul. Unless the secret keeper voluntarily discloses it, no one will know.

By convention, the secret keeper should be the most reliable, loyal, and capable partner. In this way, the secret keeper can be prevented from betraying the protected person after being caught.

But James and Black did the opposite.

In their eyes, the weak and incompetent Peter Pettigrew has no sense of existence. Neither the Order of the Phoenix nor the Death Eaters looked down upon his small role.

In comparison, Sirius attracted too much attention. No one knew that he was James' best friend, and he would definitely be the perfect choice to keep the secret.

But they forget that Peter is also a living wizard. When they regarded Peter as waste and wanted to recycle it. Peter used blood, death, and the art of betrayal to prove that he was worthy of Gryffindor's courage!

Rogue couldn't help but glance at Weasley from the corner of his eye. His Scabbers killed Potter's parents, then framed Sirius, and finally let himself fake his own death to escape.

What a perfect plan, nothing like Gryffindor's work. The only pity is that I didn't go to the scene to make up for it. No one doubts Pettigrew because he is timid and cowardly.

Who would have thought that the cowardly dung swamp would bloom into the beautiful flower of courage.

Rogge sighed inexplicably. Facts once again prove iron-bloodedly that the reason why routine is routine is because it has its reasonable endogenous logic. If you find another way, you will most likely end up in a mess, or even your family will be destroyed.

"Who is to blame?" Rogge said softly.

What made him even more regretful was that Peter's courage seemed to be exhausted in the betrayal. He had been with Harry for more than two years, and he was actually just a mouse with peace of mind.

Malfoy was silent for a long time, looking at Harry riding Buckbeak, and said unwillingly: "We can't be friends."

"So, no matter whether you took action or not. As long as Harry is injured and you are at the scene, you will automatically become the first suspect." Rogge patted Malfoy on the shoulder, and his reputation could no longer be recovered.

Buckbeak carried Harry and rushed towards the cliff excitedly. The twelve-foot wings spread out and flapped violently a second before leaving the cliff, carrying Harry into the air.

"That's great, Harry!" Ron jumped up and cheered.

"Well done!" Hagrid also praised sincerely.

The classmates let out a burst of exclamations and stared at them closely.

Buckbeak and Harry's beautiful flight captured everyone's attention. Even Malfoy couldn't help but cast envious glances.
