Ugh. Why is that Hippogriff not looking??! Hello! Yeah, Mr. Hippogriff? Over here! Ethan tried not to wave and be impatient, because he didn't want that beast to run after him, and make him its chow. No thanks. Instead, the prefect got closer, and...voila! Finally, he got the attention he had been waiting.

Ethan dared not to blink, and slowly...slowly bowed to it without taking his eyes off of it. Staring game? Pssh. He can do it really well now. It was a good thing that they got this part covered from last term, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Ethan waited...and the Hippogriff (somehow) decided to bow down. Probably because it's desperate to be cleaned??? Hehehe. Whichever the case, they both win this time.

Grinning to himself, Ethan straightened up and approached the beast carefully.
