Jordan reached Hagrid's hut and saw that a number of students had already gathered there. Even Hagrid himself was stood outside, talking to some of the students. She walked up to him and offered a customary greeting before he had them all walk into the forest. Jordan was quite familiar with the Forbidden Forest. She was a seventh year and a former Latner. She knew the forest like the back of her hand and it was one of the very few places that she could never get lost in even when she let her mind wander. Her feet seemed to know where to head. Perhaps it was some skill of the Latner family. They might have cut her off, but they couldn't take away the traits Jordan had inside her that made her one of them.

Soon enough, the group reached the clearing where Hagrid's creature was. Being a Ravenclaw, Jordan's first reaction was curiosity. The creature was unlike any she'd seen before. Scrubbles, that was what Hagrid named him. Jordan wondered why. Was some skill of Scrubbles' species scrubbing? Or maybe it was just Hagrid's own imagination at work. Jordan smiled to herself. The latter seemed the more plausible. She raised a hand up, ignoring some of the other students' whispers of her being overeager, and asked, "What species is he?"

As she waited for Hagrid's answer, Jordan let her eyes wander. The headmaster and deputy headmaster had yet to arrive. She briefly entertained the idea of them making a flashy entrance, but the deputy headmaster didn't seem like the type. The headmaster, though, seemed like he would enjoy the show. She smiled to herself again before returning her gaze to Hagrid, eyes sparkling with the anticipation for new information.
