Apparently the creature professor was down with hippogriff sharing, which was pretty cool on her part. Maybe he would let her ride it. This time she would wait for his okay because weekly detention was threatened over the unicorn incident.

Now for his question. "Isn't a griffin a cross of a lion and eagle? If so, then the eagle appearance will be a major indicator that it isn't a hippogriff." Also, if the griffin always had a mean mug on you could be sure that it was a hippogriff. Hippogriffs were much nicer looking.
