Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll The crups were going to be there for the rest of the year? Cool!That would give Fiyero plenty of time to visit Glinda in between classes. His face fell when Professor Draper said only fifth years and above cold adopt. That wasn't fair; he wanted to keep Glinda! Hmm, maybe if he wrote home and asked his mother... wait, what was he thinking? His dad would never agree to it. He'd almost had a heart attack when Fiyero brought an owl into the house; he couldn't even begin to imagine his reaction to another magical creature.
Glinda was still snoozing on the towel beside him. He doubted she'd want to wake up for a drink, but it couldn't hurt to offer. "Aguamenti," he said, pointing his wand at the empty bowl. The bowl made a clunk as he set it on the bench beside the sleeping cruppy, and Glinda blinked groggily. "Here, girl. Drink up!"
Once Glinda had her fill of water, Fiyero gathered her in his arms. He immediately began to whine as he set her back in the pen. "It's okay, Glinda," he said, "I'll be back soon, I promise." He gave her one last scratch behind the ears before turning away, and she gave him a goodbye kiss on the hand. "Bye, Professor Draper," Fiyero called, turning back to wave as he reached the door. "Thanks for the lesson - and for keeping the crups around for the year!"
