Care of Magical Creatures was somewhat better, as Harry learned that Hagrid also believed him. Despite Malfoy’s prattling Harry was in a better mood right up until one of the Skrewts he was handling went off and he kicked it back, starting up a very angry confrontation that resulted in a wrestling match between he and the beast. At least the fight worked out a lot of Harry’s frustration despite the burns he sustained. The Skrewt ended up with a nasty cut on its soft grey shell somehow, and Harry had a feeling that the creature was giving him a dirty look as he walked away after class ended.
