He walked passed each stall and patted the heads of each winged horse that stuck its head out to greet. "Hello you handsome creatures. I'm Sander and I'll be here to groom and clean up your stalls. Yes you can call me your horse servant." Sander introduced himself to the winged creatures. Even though they were merely creatures, he believed that they were smarter than everyone thought they were. It hadn't been proven yet that these magnificent creatures didn't understand the spoken language. Until such proof was provided, Sander would continue to belief that they did indeed understand him.

He just hoped the young Ravenclaw didn't think he was crazy talking to them like he was doing now. Sander continued moving along the stalls and was surprised to see a Hippogriff in one of them. Looking down at the golden name plate, he read the name "Henry".

"Well hello Henry.Sander bowed to the Hippogriff, even as he maintained eye contact with it. He didn't expect the Hippogriff to accept him just yet, but he still wanted to show this creature the respect it deserved.

Moving on down the stalls, Sander finally found what he was looking for. The Thestrals. The same winged creatures that had pulled his carriage up to the castle on the day he arrived at Hogwarts.

"Ah there you are? I just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten about you." Sander whispered to them. "I don't expect you get many visitors on account of the fact that not many people can see you. But since I can, I promise to take special care of you. I'll be right back."

Sander walked over to the supply cabinet and picked out a grooming brush and a towel. Then he walked back to the Thestral's stall, slowly opened its gated door so as not to scare the creature and then stuck out his hand for the Thestral to smell it.

When the Thestral didn't shy away from him and stood nobly as Sander approached it, Sander began making clicking sounds with his tongue as he started gently brushing the Thestral's hide. He started with its head, moving down its chest and forelegs and then up along its mane. Sander brushed with even strokes along its back and then down its rump and hind quarters. He took great care when he brushed its leathery wings, not wanting to accidentally hurt it for this creature's anatomy was more skeletal than flesh.

Once he had brushed off all the hay and dirt off the Thestral's hide, Sander took out the towel and began wiping down the creature until the Thestral's leathery hide gleamed in the light.

Sander stepped back and smiled. "There you go. All nice and handsome again. Let me do the same for your other friends and then I'll come back and clean your stall." Sander informed the Thestral before exiting the stall and securely shutting the gated door behind him.

Alex headed down to the stables to meet Sander. She had promised to help him care for the animals and she didn't want to be late. When she arrived at the stables she peered into each stall and gazed at the animals. After all this time, Alex still had a hard time getting used to the magical animals.

First Alex passed the winged horses that really were quite beautiful. Then she encountered Henry the Hippogriff who was special enough to have his name engraved on a plate in his stall. She continued walking to the area where she knew she'd likely find Sander. Sure enough, she spotted him just up ahead tending to the thestrals. Alex smiled as she got closer and could hear Sander softly talking to the thestrals. He was carefully brushing and wiping down the animals and they appeared to respond to his TLC.

She quietly walked up behind Sander and said, "I thought I might find you here.". "Need some help? What would you like me to do first boss?". Alex gave him a big smile as she waited for her instructions.
