Did this mean Sierra could try riding the Hippogriff now? She wasn't keen on riding Hippogriffs. She'd much rather stick to brooms. She could at least give it a try, though, and see what happened. She moved her hand off the Hippogriff, much to the Hippogriff's dismay, and looked at it as she tried to figure out if it would allow her to ride it or not.

How were you supposed to tell that sort of thing anyway? It wasn't like the Hippogriff could talk. How she was supposed to tell whether it was hungry or wanted to go for a ride? She moved her hands to the Hippogriff's neck to see what would happen. When it bent it's head, possibly indicating she could hop on its back, she was taken by surprise.

She hadn't expected that...
