Hippogriff in the Corridor

I'm excited to reveal the first of my short stories based on mine and Siobhan's Hogwarts Legacy characters. In collaboration with @wrongcog

Written by me, Art by Siobhan.

Standard disclaimer, all characters belong to their rightful owners.

It's late and the corridors of Hogwarts are barely illuminated by the occasional torch, stretching the shadows into flickering dark monsters, they seem to dance along the floor. The only sound is the footsteps created by Siobhan creeping on the stone beneath her. Her florescent green hair glowing, in hindsight she should have worn a head scarf of something to disguise her appearance, it's way past curfew if she's caught out of bed, she'll surely face detention, and not to mention the other thing.

In hushed tones she speaks "Come on. Come on, we're nearly there just a bit further ... Stop pulling and walk please" She's hunched over to be as stealthy as can be, her stature only slight to begin with and in her hands she tugs an invisible tether behind her.

Up ahead she hears speeding footsteps heading her way, panic rises in her chest. She's in a straight corridor save the bend in front of her where the source of the noise is coming from, there's no where to hide. Siobhan flicks her head all around to find something, anything to hide herself behind. The way she came too far away, she'll be caught before she makes it back, especially with her companion.

Accepting her fate, detention or worse depending on who rounds that corner and carries on walking straight. She blows out a sigh, her mind racing what excuse could she possibly have to be out at this hour that a professor would accept. The footsteps ever closer, she's seconds away from being caught but then a tall figure with a full head of red hair appears, Gryffindor red cloak and even in the dimmed lighting she can see his freckled face. Garreth Weasley. The pair stop dead in their tracks to face each other. "Oh Siobhan, it's just you. Thank goodness! I thought I could hear Moon creeping about, Wait what are you doing?"

"Hi Garreth" she quipped excitedly "Oh you know this and that, funny enough I needed to speak to you"

"I'm in a bit of a rush, can we talk later?" She took him in properly now his arms full of biscuits and pies, he'd obviously just raided the kitchen for snacks. Nodding her head towards his arms she spoke "Nice! I'll be quick, I just wanted to know how long the invisibility potion you made me would last?"

"Oh, erm someone your size, couple of hours easy"

"Cool, Cool.. Wait... My size! You never mentioned size!" her voice an octave higher

"Keep your voice down!" he hissed "why, what's the problem? What size is the person you're making invisible?"

Siobhan looked to the ground kicking an non-existent pebble "oh like maybe five, six times my size?" She glanced up at his face, his brows furrowed darkening his green eyes as he glared at her "You'd get 20 minutes, tops. What are you doing Shiv?"

Shit! There was a whoosh of magic and from behind her a warm huff of air rushed past her ear, Garreth's face dropped into that of terror, she turned to see and confirm what she already knew, the potion had worn off and there was now a fully visible snowy white Hippogriff stood behind her the rope around it's neck still in her hands.

Returning to look at Garreth her face beaming with delight, he was bent over at the waist to show the hippogriff respect, tumbling his haul of biscuits to the ground.

Siobhan was very pleased with herself "Look Garreth I found a new pet, His name is Snow-Wings".
