"Thank you, professor," Kurumi smiled as she accepted her 6 tokens and placed them in her. Now, who should she bet on next. Kurumi was really taken with Tailfeathers, but would he be too tired to perform just as well the next race? Hippogriffs were very proud creatures, so it was possible that the creature would try even harder to keep his title. On the flip side, BECAUSE hippogriffs were very proud creatures it was also possible that Winnerwings, having come in last place, would be very angry and determined to make a name for himself in the next race. She was beginning to wish that she was a hippogriff whisper so that she could understand the pschy of the racing hippogriffs in front of them.

But, her mother had always told her not to put all her eggs in one basket, so Kurumi offered Tailfeathers an appreciative bow and looked back at Professor Williamson. "Three tokens on Winnerwings, please," Kurumi said as she handed over three more tokens from her original ten.
