The fourth floor corridor. He knew it was a strange place to practise but whatever. It had been a day since he had tried to teach his gargoyle a few tricks and the deadline of the homework was nearing.

Sitting down under a window the Slytherin looked around. Nice and quiet. He shifted until he sat indian style like they had been doing all those years in defence against the dark arts and took Garly out of his bag.

He inspected the stone gargoyle for a moment as he turned it around. He noticed that there was a slight crack near its feet. How was he supposed to fix that? But, it was small and he didn't think it could do any real harm.

Placing the gargoyle on the stone ground, he waved his wand and said; "Piertotum Locomotor" The stone creature sprung to life and seemed to wait for a command that could he could do. Yes, Garly was a he. Ahem.

"Garly, Jump" At first, the Slytherin Prefect thought that it wasn't going to work the first time again. But he was proved wrong when the gargoyle suddenly jumped and Daichi clapped his hands. "Good good! Now wave" It now stood on the back of its legs and waved to stone arms in the air.

EEEK! he was getting better!

"Thanks Garly, we'll practise the somersault next" he grinned and used the Finite spell.
