As he had taken to doing lately, West had his bag with him, and everything he could possibly need for the day loaded up in there thanks to an extension charm. Inside was the box and gargoyle that he'd need to finish his transfiguration homework. West was to meet Dylan to do their work together, as usual, partly because Dylan was always good for helping him out when he needed it.

Speaking of, there he was. West went and joined him at the table. "Hey."

He got his things out, or at least the box and the gargoyle and his wand. The bag went under the table by his feet.

Alright, no harm doing the spell now yes? He waved his wand, focusing on the gargoyle. "Piertotum Locomotor!" It gave a little shudder but West didn't tell it to do things right away.

Now to decide what to actually have the gargoyle do. Was it so bad that he wanted to work that out methodically before actually beginning? He grinned at Dylan and then got up and disappeared into the shelves, only to reappear a few minutes later with a couple of books. What kind of books? One was a circus book, the other was about cruppy training.

Good start. He opened them up and started looking through for inspiration.
