He ignored the commotion and continued past Hagrid's hut and finally reached the paddock where Buckbeak rested. As he reached the fence, the large hippogriff immediately trotted in his direction.
Maintaining eye contact, Draco gave the creature a nod of his head and prepared his presents. He had visited the hippogriff that saved his life every morning since the incident and read from the books on how to approach the creature.
Buckbeak nodded back and resumed his approach, eager for the snacks that the wizard brought every morning.
"How are you, Buckbeak?" Draco asked. His escorts stood a dozen feet back, still wary of the powerful beast. With practiced ease, the Slytherin easily slipped through the wooden fence and stroked the hippogriff's beak. After a few moments, he waved a hand to Goyle, who carried the dead ferrets and the boy complied and placed the snacks on top of the fence.
Draco quickly grabbed one and tossed it in the air and watched in admiration as Buckbeak easily caught his snack. "Good boy!"
The Slytherin wondered if he could persuade his father to house his savior in his home, but was conflicted about it since he knew he wouldn't be able to see him while he was still in Hogwarts.
Hippogriffs were awesome in Draco's opinion. They were prideful, demanded respect, and powerful, a good symbol for the purebloods. He imagined riding Buckbeak as he soared through the air and made a mental note to purchase a proper saddle. He couldn't wait to fly on his noble steed.

MACUSA Portkey Arrivals, Las Vegas, Nevada
Nymphadora Tonks suddenly found herself and Kit standing in front of an older witch seated inside a booth.
"Papers. Wand." Tonks quickly passed the waiting MACUSA customs officer her Magical Passport and her wand.
The customs agent nodded and began to examine the documents and placed the wand on a magical scale. Tonks took the time to examine her surroundings and noticed they were inside a large, rectangular room without any windows. The walls were painted white, and she spotted her colleagues standing in front of one of the numerous booths that lined the wall. There were plenty of arrivals as every second, witches and wizards appeared in front of an empty booth with a custom agent waiting.
"Ten inches, made of willow with a core of dragon heartstring." The agent said aloud and handed back her wand. She shifted her gaze to the cat in the auror's arms. "Is that a normal cat?"
"Right, forgot about that." Tonks sheepishly pulled out another set of documents and handed them over. She placed Kit on the desk in front of the agent and the cat merely glanced at the witch before he focused his attention back to his surroundings. His ear twitched every now and then at the sound of portkey arrivals while his tail continued wagging.
"Familiar bond huh?" The impassive customs agent suddenly broke character and gently played with one of Kit's ears with a finger. "He's pretty cute."
"He is." Tonks grinned. "Found Kit on a train when he was still a little kitten."
"He seems to be well-behaved." The MACUSA customs agent cooed and ran a hand down the cat's back. "Who is a well-behaved, smart little guy?"
Kit shivered at the contact but remained sitting. He glanced at the agent and tilted his head. "Meow."
"Uhmm, is there anything else?" Tonks asked.
"Oh right. Do you have anything to declare in your luggage?"
"Just clothes and exercise gear." Tonks replied. The agent merely glanced at the trunk and continued petting her familiar. Kit finally stood up and moved to the edge of the narrow desk attached to the booth and suddenly jumped into the metamorphmagus' arms. His head turned back to the customs agent who was now pouting at being abandoned.
"Well then, welcome to the state of Nevada." The agent swiftly stamped several pages of her magical passport as well as on Kit's document and handed them back. "Enjoy your stay, and bye Kit!"
"Meow!"
"Thank you, we'll be off now." Tonks tried to hide her smile and moved past the booth and the yellow line to the other side of the large room. There were large doors on the other side and when he quickly spotted an empty bench to sit on while he waited for the rest of her group. She realized she was the first one to clear magical customs and ran a hand on her familiar's head. The witch didn't even ask her to open her luggage for inspection, unlike the others.
"I think I'll be taking you along for every international portkey." Tonks told her cat. Kit gave her an amused stare and looked away.
Undeterred Tonks continued to pet Kit. "You have to admit, that went pretty smoothly. You make for a great icebreaker."
"Meow"
"Now don't show me that attitude!" Tonks giggled. "I don't have to worry about portkey travel, it's like you're my express totem."
"HSSSSs"
It took nearly fifteen minutes of waiting until she was approached by her colleagues, Em Vance, Jon Hill, and Kingsley Shacklebolt."Took you guys long enough." Tonks mused. She noticed the disgruntled faces and decided to tease them later, and not in front of a senior auror who looked annoyed at the moment.
"Customs is a pain." Vance complained as the group headed to the exit. "How long have you waited?"
"Ten, fifteen minutes?" Tonks guessed. "I think I got lucky, the witch behind the booth took a liking to Kit."
Emmeline Vance glanced at the black cat comfortably perched around Tonk''s shoulder, and in turn, the cat turned its head and pinned her with a sharp, unblinking stare. It was obvious that the cat remembered the time she and Hestia picked him up from the floor without asking for permission. It continued to give threatening hisses whenever they were near it without Tonks, but it behaved better with the other aurors in the department. It had even allowed itself to be carried by the director, after Amelia Bones asked permission from Tonks.
