Sweetie Belle and the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

27

Phineas Malfoy sighed as he relaxed up on a cloud up above Hogwarts. It was a sunny day, with a few conveniently placed clouds here and there, thanks to his own work.

It had taken him some time to figure out how to make a cloud, and now that he could do so in a matter of minutes, he could make himself a nice place to relax pretty much whenever he wanted.

But even then, he was bored.

Sweetie Belle was in detention for some reason, something about stupifying some bully. The details were few and far between, and no one involved was talking about it. So for today, he had no company.

As he relaxed on the cloud, he nearly failed to see a shadow pass overhead...

Glancing up, Phineas gave a startled cry as a large flying creature came barreling down toward him. Barely rolling to the side in time, all he saw was a large brown and white winged creature, with a razor sharp beak and needle sharp talons.

The small pegasus dove through the cloud before the large creature could turn around and come back at him again, but only just barely.

It gave a sound reminiscent of an eagle's cry and the roar of a lion.

A gryphon...

The large monster spun about and dove after the small equine, flying after him and snapping at his tail.

Phineas had never been so terrified in his life as he was now, but he kept that fear in check as he flew for the school below. Thankfully his small size allowed him to fly through an open window, one that was too small for the much larger predator.

But fate was fickle, and before Phineas could stop himself, he crashed into a large pool of water.

There were a lot of girly screams, and as the pony emerged his head from the water, he became aware of a rather frightening fact...

He had flown right into the girl's bath room...







Once again running for his life, though this time for an entirely different reason than the threat of being killed and eaten by a large predator, he burst through the doors of the library. He hoped the herd of angry girls would not come in here, seeing as libraries were supposed to be quiet.

But he had no such luck as a few of the pervert hunters entered and spotted the pony.

“There he is! Get the peeping tom!” One girl rallied the other girls with her call.

Phineas was cornered. There was nowhere to go as the girls approached, many still wrapped in little more than their towels. He was about to take the beating of his life when suddenly something grabbed him from above and lifted him to safety...

No, not safety...

The Gryphon had found him once again...

But the monster didn't stand a chance as a dozen wands all blasted it with an assortment of spells, ranging from stunning to blinding and even a couple sleep spells.

Phineas fell free from the monster's grasp and into the clutches of the girls. He awaited to be beaten, tortured, cursed... anything really.

Rather, he felt no pain or discomfort as he was wrapped in the arms of the girls.

“Oh my gosh! Phineas, are you alright?” One girl asked.

“Is that gryphon the reason why you flew into the girls bathroom?” Another asked.

“I...” Phineas kept his eyes closed, mainly because of the number of inappropriately dressed girls who were now swarming him. “I'm sorry. It attacked me and that window was the first thing I saw that might let me escape it.”

“You're safe now, and we understand why you invaded the bath now.” A third girl comforted the pony.

“How did it even get in here?”

“Look, that window up there is open.”

“It's too dangerous, I'll go get a teacher to take care of it.”

Phineas heard all the girls saying words, but his mind was now shutting down, and to make things easier on him, he fainted.







“Will he be alright?” A familiar, sweet voice reached his clouded mind.

“Yes Sweetie Belle, Phineas will be alright. He had quite the fright when a gryphon attacked him. Their favorite food is equine meat after all.”

“But, I've met gryphons before and sure they were grouchy, but they were not THAT mean.”

Madam Pomphry giggled. “Well, I think the most traumatic part of this was being caught by all the girls.”

Sweetie Belle nodded. “I know what it's like to be chased by a bunch of girls...” She shuddered at the memory. “So, he's going to be alright then?”

“Yes, all he needs is some rest.” She glanced out the window and spotted Hagrid giving the gryphon a stern talking to about trying to eat one of Hogwarts students. Said creature looked really apologetic, hanging its head in shame. The filly felt that there would not be any further attacks, from that gryphon at least.

“Sweetie Belle?” Phineas opened his eyes and saw his friend sitting next to him. He looked around and realized where he was. “I passed out, didn't I?”

“Hug overdose.” Madam Pomphry stated matter of factually. “I've seen it before. You should be just fine now that you've rested.”

Phineas lay his head back and sighed in relief. “Today was filled with experiences I hope to never experience again, ever.”

Sweetie Belle just giggled. “You'll be just fine. Now, I need to go to detention.” Her smile became a pouty face. “I'll see you later.”

“Detention?” Phineas looked over as Sweetie Belle hopped down off the bed. “Wait, what?”

“I zapped somepony who was being a meany to Zwei, and I got in trouble for it.” She gave a weak smile. “Later.”

Phineas just watched as his friend left the room. “Wait a sec. Some-PONY?”







Detention didn't look like it was going to be too bad for the filly as she headed toward a small cottage on the edge of the Dark Forest. She smiled and waved as she spotted the giant of a man as he was chopping wood.

“Prof. Hagrid. I'm here for my detention.”

Said giant shouldered his axe and looked toward the approaching filly. “Why 'ello there Sweetie Belle. You're a bit early. Just come from seeing Phineas?”

Sweetie Belle nodded as she reached one of her favorite teachers. “Yea, and he's going to be alright. He just had a hug overdose.”

Rubius chuckled heartily. “I can bet he did. Now, your detention is going to be to come with me to the village to pick up some supplies I ordered.” He set the axe down on a tool rack and picked up a few sacks. “Got yer saddlebags I see.”

Sweetie Belle nodded, but looked uncertain. “But first years are not allowed to go to Hogsmeade?”

“Special circumstance, and yer not goin' as a wee lil' filly. Prof. Flitwick'll be meetin' us at the school gates.”

The cute little filly looked confused for a moment, but then her eyes lit up. “My necklace?”

“Yer necklace.” Hagrid replied with a wide grin.







Human Sweetie Belle walked next to the still towering Hagrid, though not as towering now that she was wearing the necklace Rarity and Twilight had given and enchanted for her. She could see the village in the distance, just down the road. She sort of wished she was in her 'Scorpius' transmogged human form. Sure she was shorter in that form, but it felt better than this taller human form.

But none of that really mattered as she looked way up at Hagrid. “So what are we picking up?” She asked curiously.

“You'll see when we get there. Just a lil' sumthing we'll need for the second part o' yer detention.”

Sweetie Belle gulped nervously. “Second part?”

“Aye. Step lively. We're nearly there.”

The young girl picked up the pace. She wished she was still a little unicorn so she could ride on his shoulder, rather than having to walk all this way on foot. But she was not complaining. She didn't have to write lines, or do extra homework, or even worse of all, apologize to Diamond Tiara again. Once was enough, after all.

Entering the village, Sweetie Belle took some time to look around, swiveling her head one way and then another as the various sights caught her attention. She'd not been able to get that good a look the last time when that pair of humans had tried to ponynap her.

But this time she finally got to see some of the sights, such as shops with all sorts of goods for sale, including a very familiar candy store. She wanted to go in and see if she could buy something, but this was not a fun visit. This was part of her detention... to be denied SWEETS!!!

Finally, there was a building with a worn-out wooden sign hanging over the door, advertising with a 'wild boar's severed head leaking blood onto the white cloth around it', which seemed to be where they were headed. She recalled hearing about this place from some of the older Gryphondors, but didn't really pay all that much attention. She couldn't really even remember the name. Now she wished she had listened more intently to what they were talking about.

As the pair entered the candle lit interior, all sorts of smells hit her pony senses. Sure, she LOOKED human, but she was still actually a pony in disguise after all. “Eww, what's that smell? It's like apple cider went bad.”

Habrid chuckled heartily. “Welcome t' the Hog's Head Pub, an that, lil lass, is th' smell o fresh brewed ale. Yer a tad bit young to have any.” Though it was obvious he wanted a pint or two, he was on business after all. He approached the counter with the young girl in tow. “Good day t' ya. I'm here for the package I ordered.”

The aging man nodded. “Sure thing Rubius, got your parcel in the back. I'll go fetch it.” He turned and limped out from behind the bar and through an old creaky door. Not even a minute later he returned with a plain paper wrapped box a little larger than Sweetie Belle's head. “And do I even wanna know what you're gonna be doing with that?”

“Hogwart's business Abe, Hogwart's business.” Hagrid nudged Sweetie Belle forward. “Ya can carry it.”

Sweetie Belle nodded and accepted the parcel, and was surprised that it was a little heavier than she'd been expecting. Still, she stayed quiet and kept her curiosity in check.

“Good day to the both of you.” The man Hagrid called Abe waved as he slipped back behind the bar to serve one of the customers.

“An you too.” Hagrid then lead Sweetie Belle back outside. The girl squinted her eyes as sun shone down on them, through a crack in the clouds. She'd not realized how dimly lit it had been in there.

“Prof. Hagrid? You said this is part of my detention. What's the other part?” She knew she shouldn't have asked as she followed the teacher, but her curiosity was getting the better of her.

Hagrid chuckled. “Just a lil something fer a critter in the Dark Forest.”

“Critter?” Sweetie Belle pictured something small, cute and fluffy, like many of Fluttershy's critters. You know, like a mouse or ferret, or maybe even a bunny like Angel. Angel was just so cute and adorable and so full of personality.

“Y'll see lil filly.” Was all Hagrid would say on the matter, no matter how much Sweetie Belle asked, directly or indirectly.
