It was a challenge to stay put and listen to the professor, but Mo was doing his best. Not only to be a good example to his classmates and not be a distraction, but also to get as much information as he could. Maybe he'd encounter a hippogriff someday. It was likely, based on the line of work he wanted to go into.

But this question... Mo raised his hand. "It isn't as if there's anything in the Muggle world that looks remotely like a hippogriff. They'd be immediately aware that there's something wrong and unnatural, to their minds, and would probably freak out. Definite breach of the Statute."
