They saw a strange creature slowly walking towards them through the moonlight.
Its hind legs and tail were that of a horse, but its front legs, wings, and head were that of a griffin; its beak had a steely color and a pair of bright orange eyes.
The claws on its front legs shone like a machete, and it looked like it could easily slit anyone's belly.
"Hagrid, what is that." Harry's voice trembled.
"Hippogriff!" cried Hagrid happily.
"It's beautiful! Isn't it?" Hagrid said excitedly to everyone.
"This." Hermione gasped. She didn't know how to tell Hagrid that this terrifying creature was too dangerous for class.
"You don't have to stay that far! Come closer!" Hagrid urged everyone warmly to get closer to the fence and observe the creature up close.
After getting close, everyone began to observe this strange creature.
Hippogriff had a different kind of beauty.
From the dark gray feathers of the eagle's head to the silver-gray fur of the horse's body.
Seeing a people approaching, this hippogriff was vigilant. It stared at the strangers in front of it with orange eyes.
"Looks like it likes you!" Hagrid said excitedly, rubbing his hands together.
The three looked suspiciously at the hippogriff staring at them, but they didn't think the beast "liked" them much.
"His name is Buckbeak," Hagrid introduced to everyone in a gentle voice.
"The hippogriff is a very prideful animal; don't do anything to provoke it!" Hagrid reminded everyone carefully.
"Yeah! It's beautiful! Let's go!" Ron took two steps back in fear of Buckbeak.
"Don't be so anxious! Do you want to try and touch it?" Hagrid asked excitedly.
"Hagrid! That's not a good idea! XXX's creatures are deadly!
The Ministry of Magic stipulates that only wizards with professional competence and certification will go near them!" Hermione reminded anxiously.
"But he's not dangerous at all!" Hagrid still insisted on using his criteria to judge the danger of magical animals.
Hagrid was legally blind.
"That's it!" Hagrid clapped his hands and made a decision.
Hagrid grabbed Harry by the shoulders and pulled him in front of Buckbeak.
"Harry! You can touch Buckbeak!" said Hagrid.
"Really? Hagrid? I'm not sure that's a good idea!" Harry swallowed.
"Go try it! They're a bunch of friendly creatures!" heencouraged Harry.
Hermione still wanted to persuade Hagrid but stopped when she saw that Hagrid didn't listen.
"Harry! After you stroll towards him, bow to him and wait for him to return your salute. If he returns the salute to you, you can touch!"
Hagrid explained to Harry how to behave towards the hippogriff.
"What if it doesn't return the salute?" Harry asked Hagrid nervously, dry-mouthed.
"Then you have to run," Hagrid said calmly, "but don't worry, Buckbeak is very docile!"
Harry raised his head and gave Buckbeak a careful look. He didn't think there was any docility in this strange bird staring at him.
"Hagrid--I feel either--" Harry was about to flinch, and he tried to reject Hagrid carefully.
But at this time, Hagrid had opened the fence gate and waved at Harry excitedly, motioning for Harry to come over quickly.
Harry sighed helplessly and walked forward.
"That's it! Harry! Go in!" Hagrid shoved Harry into the fence, leaving him alone with the terrifying creature.
Hermione and Ron held their breath nervously, fearing that something would happen to Harry. Ethan stared intently at the giant bird, focusing on its head.
Harry walked towards Buckbeak gently, step by step, for fear that the sound of his footsteps would anger the monster.
"Okay, Harry, you have to look at each other now; remember, don't blink," Hagrid told Harry.
"Hagrid, what if Harry blinked?" Hermione asked nervously.
"If it blinks too hard, it will become nervous because it doesn't trust you very much, and it will become less easy to get along with," Hagrid explained.
Harry's eyes widened when he heard this; even though his eyes were very sour, he still didn't dare to close them.
Buckbeak also stared at Harry with its big orange eyes, one man and one beast staring quietly at each other.
"Okay, Harry! That's a good start—" said Hagrid excitedly.
"Now, bow to it."
Harry immediately bowed deeply to Buckbeak, showed his neck to Buckbeak, and then slowly straightened up.
Buckbeak didn't say anything; it still stared at Harry angrily.
"Okay, Harry, slowly back away now. Remember not to turn your back on it," Hagrid instructed Harry cautiously.
Harry didn't dare to let out the air; he slowly backed away, afraid the beast would suddenly pounce.
Ethan also raised his hand, ready to control Buckbeak with the Axii seal.
Suddenly, Buckbeak stooped down on his scaly front knees and bowed to Harry.
"Great! Harry! Hurry up and touch it!" Hagrid told Harry ecstatically, thinking that his class had succeeded.
Harry listened to Hagrid's words, strolled towards Buckbeak, reached out to it, and patted Buckbeak lightly on the neck.
Buckbeak's feathers were warm and purred comfortably.
"That's a good sign! Harry! You can go and ride it!" Hagrid said excitedly to Harry.
"I'm not sure about Hagrid. Is that okay?" Harry asked nervously.
"No problem. You go up from the back; be careful not to rip off its feathers!" Hagrid told Harry.
Harry put his arms around Buckbeak's neck, tried to climb to it, and constantly looked for leverage in Buckbeak.
Suddenly, Harry seemed to be pulling Buckbeak's feathers, and Buckbeak gave a sharp cry, raised his front, spread his wings, and slapped Harry away.
"Harry, run!" Hagrid shouted, slamming open the gate and charging towards Harry.
Harry was rolled on the ground by Buckbeak's wings, and with Hermione's scream, Harry got up and ran out of the fence.
Buckbeak shrieked sharply, chasing Harry relentlessly, trying to settle the account for this little wizard hurting him.
Hagrid tried to block Harry with his massive body while Ethan raised his right hand and quickly drew a rune.
Buckbeak's eyes quickly flashed a white light and finally fell silent.
