 CoMC Homework #1 - Post #5 be curious, not judgmental
Getting straight to work, Sophie filled a griffin-sized bathing tub with water using, "Aguamenti." It took a lot longer than she would've liked for it to fill up enough, but she figured it was time Genevieve needed to blow off some energy. Once the bucket was moderately full, Sophie took the small bottle of liquid for shampooing and poured it into the tub, then used her hand to swish the soap around and get it nice and stirred up. It smelled a lot like the stuff they'd used for the hippogriffs and she wondered if it was similar or maybe even the SAME soap. Either way, it smelled good, so... even if bath time ended up being a little messy, Soph didn't mind. She'd just smell good anyway.
With her bath tub full of sudsy water, Sophie went ahead and cast a hot air charm at the water in an attempt to heat it up. She didn't want it to be TOO hot, just nice and warm and comfortable, and fortunately, it didn't take TOO long for the tub's water to warm up.
This was too easy.
She gathered a sponge, then, and dropped it into the tub before finding a towel to set off to the side for drying-off purposes later. Then... that was good and all set, so she just had to brush Genevieve a bit first and... well. Merlin. She had to get Genevieve over to her first.
"Genevieeeeeve," Sophie beckoned, sitting down on the floor beside the tub with the brush in her hand as she patted her knees. "Come, Genevieve! Come!" The griffin didn't seem to know her own name yet, judging by how the griffin didn't respond to her at all. At. All. But eventually, the griffin saw Sophie looking at her, and Sophie went back to calling her name - and THAT is when the griffin scampered over and rammed into Sophie at full force as she sat in her lap.
Griffins these days.
"It's okay, girl. We're just gonna brush you." The Ravenclaw proceeded to do so, using the brush to gently stroke the baby griffin's feathers first, taking care to be light in her strokes before moving down to the lower half where there was fur. Genevieve didn't seem to mind one bit - in fact, she actually seemed to enjoy it.
