Then, a moment later, the familiar cry of a hippogriff, shortly followed by Sirius's barking laugh.
"Hallo the street! Gang way, everyone! Keep your distance, there's an intelligent group of people."
Sirius Black. Was flying a hippogriff. In front of muggles. In the middle of a city. In broad daylight. AND HE WAS SMILING LIKE HE THOUGHT HE WAS CLEVER.
In his own mind, he'd gone so native that it didn't even occur to him that she might think this behavior...odd.

But, upon hearing Sirius's laughter, she looked up at the sky, her expression turning to one of shock.
"Sirius, what are you doing?!" she glanced around at the Muggles awkwardly, "Get down here!"
Any attention he was attracting couldn't be good. Yet, that wasn't what was bothering her most. Was he going to take her for a ride on Buckbeak? She had just gotten off a dragon! And her fear of heights hadn't lessened much since her Third Year.

The crowd is...happy to just 'go round a bit'. And snap pictures with their camera phones. Sirius swings off Buckbeak and comes forward to give her a hug.
"You've grown! ...And you're terrified."

The moment he dismounted, she closed the distance between them unsteadily. Bellatrix's boots were going to be the death of her. Now she understood why Achilles had been downed by a shot to the foot. But, never mind that. A hug was definitely in order. She wasted no time in wrapping her arms around him warmly.
"J-Just a bit!" she laughed, pulling back to examine him, "It was my bright idea to jump on the back of a dragon."

"A dragon? And in heels? ...Merlin's beard, Harry doesn't know what he has in you."
Congratulations, Hermione, you have made a Marauder raise his eyebrows. He holds a hand out to Buckbeak, just assuming the hippogriff will trot over, and lo and behold it does. Animals tended to like Sirius, and he rubs the massive beak.
"And all I've brought is a hippogriff. I'm going to have to step up my game, clearly.

Glancing up, she grimaced.
"I'll be changing my clothes as soon as possible."
Especially after Professor - no, Headmaster - Snape's remarks. He enjoyed putting her down for some reason. But she couldn't linger on those thoughts for long. As soon as she saw Buckbeak, she patted his beak weakly.
"I'm sorry. I don't have any nice dead ferrets on me." she then gave Sirius a sharp look, "A Hippogriff is...m-much preferable to a dragon. Though I was glad she got out."
