Hippogriffs were still stomping around and the students were getting anxious. Javier aimed the Animal Friendship Charm at the two nearest him, one at a time hoping they'll approach him now. Hopefully by now the calmed Hippogriffs could try to persuade the remaining ones that they were okay.

Now what was this about moving snow? The Creature Professor surveyed the ground, not seeing anything other than new tracks made by Hippogriffs. "It looks like it has stopped.." Whatever it was. Oh would you look at that, raised snow trails, as if something was below the snow yet above the ground. "Yes.. tracking them sounds like a good idea." However, one issue still remained, "We'll still need to meet up with Mr. Maclaren and return Henry with his creature mates here. Just in case they manage to get into the forest.. those of age come with Professor Culloden and me and stay close." The line only guarded those under age after all, so he thought.

"Those not 17 years old yet, have a look around for any other clues around here." ..Oh, nearly forgotten, "and later on drop your current sketchpads by my office as well." So there were at least some records could be proven to have been done once they have finished. "This way," Now then... who was staying and going?
