Forbidden forest
” So what do we do now? There are still two hours to dinner.” Dean said and walked out to the dark Hogsmead.
Cas giggled and grabbed Deans hand.
” Come, I have an idea.”
” You just want to get back at me for jumping out of a cliff, don’t you?” Said Dean suspicious, but let Cas lead him forward.
” You will se.” Cas smirked mischievous.
So Cas and Dean run together, arm in arms, and almost bouncing to a large green field. Just a couple of meters layed the forbidden forest.
” Wow. Aren’t you a bad boy Cas?” Dean chuckled, and ruffled Cas hair. Before he know it Cas swept his feet and playfully pinned Dean on the ground.
” Of course I am.”
Dean breathed heavy and bit his lip. Cas laughed amused when a grine spreed across Deans face.
” So, is this your idea?”
Cas sweatly brushed his mouth at Deans nose.
” No cutie. We have to wait for it.”
”Cas honey, you know I hate waiting.”
Cas giggled happily, when Dean grabbed and flipped him, so he layed on the grass instead.
” Who is the bad boy now, huh Dean?”
They wrestle in the soft grass under the stars and the white moon. Afterwards, they just looked up to the sky.
” Cas?”
” Hmm?”
Cas had slumberd, when he cozy had embeded in his own trenchcoat on Deans arm.
” Do you. Do you want...”
Dean looked up on the moon. Cas gently grabbed Deans hair, so they layed so close, their noses touches.”
” It is alright. You can talk to me about anything.”
A light blush appeared on Deans face, that were lit up by the moon.
” Have you ever thought about coming out?”
Cas blinked and blushed to.
” I, I do not really have anyone to come out to. No one at the orphany really cares about me.”
Dean run his thumb around Cas cheekbone, and looked in his heavenly blue eyes.
” Maybe we can tell Bobby. I know he is not your father or my either. But he is the only family I and Sam got. It would mean alot to me if we could tell him about us.”
Cas got a big dimples smile.
” I would love to.”
Dean loved Cas warm hand in his hair, and moaned out.
” Oh Cas I... No way.”
Dean jumped on his feet, and looked at the majestic hippogriff, walking out of the forbidden forest.
” Wow. It is amazing.” Said Dean, and Cas smiled at Deans twice as big hazel eyes.
” May I introduce Buckbeak. Hagrid showed us him at Care of magical creatures, and at night he use to let him walk freely in the woods.”
The moon lightly landed on Buckbeak, so his feather shined up in a fairytale light way. The creatures big deep black eyes, looked interested on the two boys, who fascinated looked back.
” Can I touch him?” Dean breathed out.
” Sure.” Cas smiled. ” But you got to show him respect. Bow very slowly.”
Cas layed one hand on Dean lower back, and the other on his stomach. With small movement, he lead Dean forward, stopped far from Buckbeak, and made Dean bow just a bit. Buckbeak walked graciously and silent to them, and bowed his head.
” What do I do now Cas?” Said Dean excited.
” Go to him, gently.” Cas smiled with a proud face.
Cas remembered the first lesson when Hagrid had shown the hippogriff. No one in the class had made him bowed to them, as fast as it did for Dean now. Tentative Dean moved, and he was carefully, so he would not go to far. Eventually Dean stopped and let Buckbeak come to him. The feathers were soft and fluffy in his hand.
” Good boy.” Dean whisper and stroke Buckbeak behind his ear.
Dean looked behind him and smiled happily at Cas, but then his smiles faded out, and the eyes became black. Cas turned around and watched Craig walk with his gang. Dean fast got by Cas side.
” Do not be afraid Cas. I will protect you.” Said Dean targeted and stared hateful torwards Craig.
Craig stopped with a evil smirk playing in the corner of his mouth.
” How about that? Is this not fitting? Two monsters side by side.”
Craig looked at Buckbeak and then at Cas. His whole gang laughed pleased at their leaders comment. Cas looked horrified at them and tremble a bit.
” Brave of you to go out this late at night Craig. I thought your courage sunk from the seventh floor, together with your lungs.” Dean said sassy.
” You little...” Craig spat out, and draw out his wand, at the same time his friends did the same thing.
” Gryffindor, the house of the brave! Always ready to fight. As long as they are five against two.” Dean hissed out bitterly, and took out his wand.
” We are not going to fight you Winchester. We just came to teach that freak a lesson” Craig voice bathed in poison, when he pointed at the hippogriff.
” If you touch one inch on Buckbeak, you will regret it.” Cas hissed between his teeth, as he draw his wand.
Craigs eyes went black.
” Leave...now.”
” Never!” Cas said and stretched.
Craig face harden and he pulled his mouth.
” I should had tear your wings apart when I had the chance.”
Dean exploded and the air were filled with light. Both sides cast spells left and right at eachother. Intensively Dean and Cas worked through the wall of magic. Blue, white and yellow light meet like a storm.
” Expelliarmus.” Dean yield and work against Craig and two of his friends, while Cas fought the other two.
Sweating Cas and Dean attacked and the defended themselves like one person. One by one Craigs gang escaped. Craig himself layed on the ground and groaned of pain. In one step Dean stood over Craig and pointed the wand at him. He looked up with fear in his eyes. Dean just shook his head, and put the wand back in his pants.
” I am not going to hurt you, you are not even worth it.”
Craig tried to get up, but Dean kicked his mouth, so he hit the ground.
” Okay, maybe a little.” Dean smirked.
Craig fumbling got up on his feet, and with his mouth dripping of blood, he ran away to the castle.
Dean turned to Cas, whos blue eyes sparkle of fire.
” Wow Cas, I can not belive you stood up to Craig.”
Cas adrenaline started to go off, and instead he shook violently. Dean layed the trenchcoat over Cas shoulders.
” Are you alright, sweetheart?” Dean asked and put one arm around him, and played with his sweaty hair.
” Yes, it is just that I am so afraid of him.” Cas responded honestly and could not look into his eyes.
” Remember what Lupin told us. The most important part is not to stop being afraid. It is to act despise the fear.” Dean softly placed a kiss Cas cheek. ” And you did that just now.”
Cas shook his head.
” I did not meet the boggard, Dean. I did not act then. Lupin have no faith in me. He did not ask me to do it again. He know I am a coward.”
Dean shook his head too.
” I asked Lupin if you avoid meeting the boggard. If you could do something else to make up for it.”
Cas looked up suprised.
” You did that for me?”
Dean cuped Cas face and put all the love he could into his words.
” There is nothing in this world I would not do for you Castiel.”
Then Dean kisses Cas hard on the mouth, who deepen the kiss, with a burning desire.
” Nobody have respect for magical creatures this days!” Hagrid muttering out loud and waved with a lantern, as he run torward Cas and Dean, who immediately stopped to make out.
Dean at once get tense and hissed.
” It were Craig and his gang who was going to harm Buckbeak. Not us. Just because we are in Slytherin it does not mean we are automaticly guilty!”
He took a step forward and looked challenging at Hagrid, who shocked looked back.
” No, no. I never thought that.” Hagrid said and waved dismisall on his big hand, that made the lanter rock back and forth. ” I saw how the Gryffindor boys fought you, and just wanted to thank you for saving Buckbeak.”
” That was nothing.” Cas said quickly.
Hagrid burst out in a huge smile, and once again waved his hand.
” Sure it was. Not many people would do what you just did. Let me invite you for a cup of tea.”
Cas looked warmly at Dean, who soften.
” We would love to.”
The evening got colder, and Dean and Cas welcomed a warm fireplace, and a smooking hot cup of tea. Fang happily jumped in Cas lap and lick him in his face. Cas laughed when the big dog tried to sit in his lap, despice its big size.
Hagrids hut were very small, but every corner were stuffed with potion, scrolls, maps, food, pots, and all kinds of magical items, that were impossible to figure out what is was. A long time they sat in the cozy hut and small talk. Dean looked dreamy at Cas, that had Fang sleeping his head in his lap. Suddenly Cas flew up.
” We have to get back to the castle.”
Dean looked at the old clock.
” Fuck. We never get in time for dinner.”
Hagrid got up and smiling said.
” If you ride on Buckbeak, you will get there in time.”
” Can we?” Dean squeeze, with big eyes.
” Only if Castiel sits at front. That lad is good with animals.”
Cas grabbed Deans hand, called a thanks and they ran out almost jumping. The hippogriff were almost where they had found him first. Both of them did a polite bow, and the got up on Buckbeaks back.
” Lets fly, my angel.” Cas smiled curvy and they flew of.
A starry sky meet their eyes, and a cool wind went through Dean and Cas hair. Everything is so magical from above. Dean thought and leaned his head at Cas back. Smiling Cas looked at Hogwarts that were lit up by millions of torches.
” Did you like my idea?” Cas laughed.
Dean stroke Cas shoulder, and sigh out.
” I loved it.”
