“Maddi look!” Molly said in shock.
"It’s an egg, I’ll take it to a Diagon alley lost and found,” I whispered.
There was my horse. It wasn’t ordinary, it was Pegasus.
It was a long flight about an hour. We landed. Very luckily, we broke no buildings. “Hmm wands pets aha!” I whispered.
“Damn it, it’s closed!" I yelled.
“Well I guess you have to keep it,” Jack whispered.
“Jack don’t scare me,” I angrily said to Jack.
“Sorry Hagrid wants us,” Jack said seriously.
“Can I go on your Pegasus?” asked Jack.
“Sure” I said.
“Wahoo!” Jack laughed.
“Jack is that your dragon?” I asked.
“Um no!” Jack said she shivering with fear.
The egg got bigger! The egg burned, it was a phoenix. Not a baby, an adult. Pegasus landed.
“Maddi a dragon's attacking Hogwarts,” Hagrid said in fright. The dragon roared. The phoenix was furious, it caught on fire. It was so hot, we felt skin melting. The battle was contagious. I heard Molly scream.
“No Molly!” I screamed and a skull rolled up to my foot. For some reason the dragon exploded. The celebration was wild.
“Worst year ever!” I yelled.
