Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent Henry listened to all the information but he did not feel the need to write it all down or take notes. Nah, he knew this stuff, or at least some of it. And the other stuff he'd probably remember. Maybe he would. He was much more interested in the practical application anyway, and... they'd be doing that today?
The only thing that he was really surprised by was the mentioning by the professor that Abraxans couldn't drink water at all. He had never heard that and also wondered what they'd be drinking in the wild, like that one girl asked. But maybe the professor would explain. More information about Ministry classification and the like, but Henry kind of zoned out there, his eyes searching the area and his attention distracted. He was just really hoping they'd be able to ride them today, so surely Professor Hernandez was bringing them out for class.
The professor barely had the words out of his mouth when Henry hopped up from his seat and followed him to the other side of the yard. Still no horses, but... oh! YES! Henry grinned as the professor lifted the disillusionment charm to reveal three of the winged horses. He glanced over at Owen who seemed just as excited. "Sweet.. think we'll get to ride them?" he leaned over to whisper to his dorm mate.
His eyes landed on each one as they were named. Oh.. was there a thestral too? Henry would have to take the man's word for it as he couldn't see those types of winged horses, which always sort of made him wonder. Sure he had read the textbook description and had seen the illustrations, but how did he know they weren't completely made up? And yeah, he knew enough about winged horses to know who was which, but as literally a hundred people already answered that question, he didn't feel the need to say it aloud, though he did think the added descriptions Clara provided were pretty cute. Instead, he impatiently waited for class to move on as he watched the three he could see and bounced slightly on the heels of his feet.
