Ian stood in line close to AJ and Adi. He wasn't too sure about this walking up to a Hippogriff and trying to pet it. What if the hippogriff didn't like him? he wondered to himself. Of course he couldn't imagine harming a magical creature that wasn't trying to kill him, but that didn't mean he didn't have a healthy respect for a creature that could rip his eyeballs out.

When it was his turn, he scooted closer, inch by inch, his hand extended waiting to see what would happen.
