Feeling kind of bad, though not sure why since it wasn't actually alive, Ethan picked up the gargoyle and moved a little bit away from the study tables to the reference section. Maybe he should get practice flipping that thing without the tables first so he didn't destroy property. He placed the books on the floor again in the see-saw formation.

"Let's try this again." He looked at the gargoyle apologetically and waved his wand. "Piertotum Locomotor." The gargoyle came to attention again and he set him on the end of the book. He tried not to look directly in its eye, feeling bad for its accident.. but then he realized he was being silly and set about continuing his work. He pushed down on the other end of the books while commanding, "Somersault!" His eyes followed the little gargoyle as it tumbled in the air, landing neatly on its feet on the floor. "Bravo!" he grinned and applauded the gargoyle. Now if he could just get it to land up on a table or something.. maybe it was more the force of hitting the book than anything..
