From the moment it broke through a part of the Quidditch stands, panic had infected everyone. Harry, Ron and Hermione had attempted to stay on the field, but after a lot of urging they had moved to a safer distance.

The other first-years and several others ran across the field, screaming. The older years stood slightly dumbstruck while the teachers ran up to it. I stood planted firmly on the field facing the beast, wand in one hand and my pen in the other.

"Why is there a lion on the field?" A unknown teacher shouted.

I looked back at the creature and I was perplexed by the strange mix of multiple animals that definitely did not look like a lion. Then it breathed fire. The teachers moved out of the way and I barely dodged it.

I realized a few things in a few seconds. Only a few seemed to see it for what it was and the animal was a Chimera. An angry, unholy, snake-mountain lion-goat, mix from Tartaras.

As I realize those two things, the Chimera pounces at a nearby student. My instincts kick in and I click my pen. I jump in front of the terrified second-year, Riptide fending off the monster.

The second-year ran and the Chimera backed away from the celestial-bronze sword. It's lion head snarles at me and it starts to circle me. Then it swipes and I move back barely missing it's ferocious claws.

One of the teachers, shoots a spell at the Chimera, but I can tell it has little effect on the Chimera. Another spell flies and it nearly hits me. As it passed by, I felt the heat from the spell.

"Stop shooting, it's obviously not working!" I shout at them, not daring to look away from the Chimera, who kept attempting to tear my guts out.

I suddenly had a great idea. An idea that could not be beat. I grabbed my wand from my pocket and put my plan into action.

"Aguamenti!" I shouted. Water flowed out of the tip of my wand and I felt relieved the charm had worked. I dropped Riptide and my wand, and began to bend the water to my will.

I felt the strange tug in my gut as I moved the water around me. The Chimera had stood mesmerized by what I had just done. I felt powerful and I attacked while I had the strength to.

The water suddenly flew towards the Chimera and stabbed at it. The Chimera spewed fire in its defense. I noticed an opening and took it. I grabbed Riptide with water and stabbed it through the mouth.

The monster exploded into a shower of golden dust and I let the water drop and I felt the tug in my gut lessen.

I turned around as I heard cheering. Behind me the entire school stood.

Harry, Hermione and Ron ran towards me and hugged me saying words of praise.
