Buckbeak will always be remembered as a halcyon creature who showed forbearance even while Draco Malfoy hectored her. Malfoy's ignominious hubris during class displays the need for mandatory etiquette classes for Slytherin students to avoid such future gaucherie.
halcyon: calm and peaceful
forbearance: patience; willingness to wait
hector: to bully
ignominious: shameful; dishonorable; undignified; disgraceful
