Stop two before the Gryffindor resigned herself to the roasting area. This was yet another thing she figured she'd need to get done today. With all that planning, she'd made a mental list and it would all get done...except the water sports. She didn't fancy getting wet then needing drying spells and the whole nine yards. It just seemed like a lot of effort. Maybe if she got bored enough later before the fireworks happened but yeah...she'd pass on that.

Lex approached the station, keeping a close eye on the Hipporgiffs as she did. They were behaving nicely, see? Thompson had absolutely NOTHING to worry about...unless an idiot showed up and forgot the manners bit...but she wasn't in charge of this station, so it wouldn't have been her problem. Nope.

"Hey Ethan." She said casually as she tried deciding which of the Hippogriffs, she'd be riding. He didn't have to bother getting up. Having led the planning, she knew how this worked. He could save his energy for the one's they been doing all this planning for. Hmmm, maybe the one with chestnut feathers....
