"Good boy." She said with a teasing smile. It was better to keep quiet, lest they scare away anything that was out there. She was honestly curious what sorts of things they could find. Tropical places like this were often filled with creatures since they were still a bit more off putting to both muggle and magic users.
When Ash began to list of the traits of Auguries, Lyra was honestly surprised. "Not bad, sounds like you actually did your homework a bit. Most people cant remember what a hippogriff is half the time, let alone something that we haven't seen in class yet. But sort of. I want to find a subspecies that is supposed to be out here. Brighter plumage, tropical looking by nature in order to hide in the dense flora."
The mention of a real phoenix though immediately drew a small smile to her face before she shook her head. "Phoenixes aren't indigenous to this place. Plus, I want to find a phoenix when I can be considered worthy by one of them. They say there a legend that should a phoenix find you worthy, they will become your familiar."
