((Yes, don't let me hold the thread up for you two. I will reply when I'm around to, but Jasper always has permission to mod the raptor anyway.))
The raptor had been being steadily lulled to sleep by the feel of Jasper's cold fingers moving over his scales, but the very soft whoosh of a bottle flying through the air caused him to jerk awake with a hiss of alarm. He sat taller and looked for the source of the noise, and there was a dull thump from his lashing tail striking a leg of the coffee table.
Magic was not a completely foreign concept to him; he'd been at Hogwarts for a few years, and there was also all the oddities he'd lately observed Jasper doing with and without a wand. He soon grasped what had happened when he saw the floating glasses moving to join the bottle on the table, so lazily resettled his head back in Jasper's lap. This magic wasn't something he had to fear or defend against. Let's be grateful he wasn't able to wedge his snout between Jasper's legs in the way dogs were prone to do, because he definitely would have. And he did try to, briefly, but gave up with another of his content, rumbling growls, his eyes losing focus again.
