Thoughts were happening that weren't meant to be shared. Especially with how cold it was. Soon enough it was time for the students to actually begin the activity as Javy lead with Piers to where the Winged Horses waited patiently by the empty carriages.. "Alright, is everyone partnered up?" Waiting until they stood at attention with their own partner, "Good.. If you still don't have a partner, that's fine, just dive into another one's carriage when you're given the chance. They can hold three maximum."

"As Professor Fuller explained, the charm isn't particularily difficult to achieve.." Drawing his wand out, "First make sure to pat the horse, to let them know you're here, rub a little so they know that you're not one to fear." Using his other hand, Javy began patting it a few times before rubbing the Threstal's side. Though to most people it looked like he was petting the air. "Then using the charm, Fixate. You draw over the side of the winged horse's face-" Taking his wand to hover it right over the side of the Threstal's face, "straight from under the ears to the corners of its mouth." Doing just that and.. a bridle was placed. A floating one to those who couldn't see the Threstal. "Not difficult at all.." Next thing they saw was Javy, the creature teacher get into the carriage attached to the Thestral.

"Now, one of you will be the designated driver of the carriage, controlling the reins to steer them.." Remaining blank-faced, "There will be obstacles out there so to protect yourself the other one will be in charge of blasting away the the piles of snow. Don't even think about trying to fly these Winged Horses, they've been trained not to in this situation." Now smiling a little, "First two teams that make it to the end will earn extra points." Taking hold on the reins, waiting until Professor Fuller got on, he tugged on the reins. "Annnnnnd, go!" And they were off. "See you at the finish line."

---
ooc: + Use Fixate charm to place the bridle on the horses.
- Three choices of winged horses: Granian, Abraxan, or Aethonan -

+ Decide on who will take control of reigns and who will be the protector
+ There are obstacles incoming, protector(s) needs to clear way while the other drives
+ Need at least one post of deciding jobs/placing the bridle on the horse, and then five labeled posts minimum to complete the race.
