The class seemed to have gone dead silent when he asked who wanted to ride it first. It seemed they were all scared to ride the creature. "Come on now, he won't hurt you." He smiled at the class. As one student stepped up, Jake smiled at her. "Very well Kiara." he said. "And ten points to Gryffindor for being the bravest among your classmates, as to be expected of a Gryffindor." the young Professor said. The hippogriff gave a small nod and shifted again, letting Jake know that the hippogriff wasn't going to give Kiara any trouble while she was on it.
He turned back to the girl and shook his head. "No, that isn't nessesary. You have already proven yourself to the hippogriff." he told her. "Would you like any help getting onto the creature?" he asked her. But the hippogrif beat him to it as it kneeled down in front of Kiara, waiting for her to get on it. "Oh well, never mind then." he gave a short laugh, looking down at the hippogriff who had its eyes trained on the girl. "Okay well, just remember Kiara. Hippogriffs are fast when they're in the air, so make sure you hold on tight and don't let go at all." Professor Collins reminded her quickly. "Now whenever you're ready, just let it know."
