He took a half step back and regarded the list in his hands. "It says hippogriff here, it does. What's that one?"

He peered about some more, looking for a hippopotomus amongst the animals, and obviously, finding none.

She had decided to look for an area where larger animals would be kept, deciding that the Hippogriff’s and Thestral’s were probably in the same area being the bigger animals.

Finally finding an area that looked like pens she approached them quietly not wanting to spook the animals that could be in there. She didn’t know if she wanted to collect the Thestral hairs that would mean telling people more than she wanted about herself. After all only the students who’d see death would be able to collect Thestral hairs...right. She decided that she didn’t want them to know that so started looking for a moulted Hippogriff feather.

Noticing other students retrieving feathers which the animal had obviously just moulted, she walked over and picked one up for herself. She didn’t know what type of animal this was but its feathers were a greenish-black colour. Placing it in her back she left the area so as she didn’t disturb the animal. ‘I’ll have to look these up in my book’ she thought ‘I haven’t a clue if this is something I’m meant to be collecting or not.’ She reached into her bag and poled out her book then started flipping through it.

Finally she found a picture of the animal shed seen in the stone building...it was an Augurey! Smiling happily to herself she looked around wondering where to go next she noticed a horse brush sitting next to her still covered in hair from when it was last used. She didn’t know if this was an Abraxan hair or not but decided to take a sample anyway, and placed it along with everything ells in her bag. She’d have to look that up as well but decided to do it at another time.
