SPOILER!!: Magical Soul Marco, Fischer, and Barrington were chatting. Nope, no three. Only two. There were students who didn't have partners still, anyway. Botros motioned towards the trio, "Mr. Barrington or Mr. Branxton, I found you a partner." He motioned to the older Ravenclaw girl (SweetPeea). Ab preferred to have them as a girl and a boy on each horse, just in case the girls were too scared to ride alone. You know... like it was the case a hundred years ago.
He put his hand on the Granian he'd been patting. "I've been close to this particular Granian horse, pet them, try and establish a bridge of communication with your horse." Botros caressed the horse's back before he took a step back, and raised his wand. "Mutare fibula," he waved his wand across the horse's back, the wings shrinking and pulled back to slowly mend with its back, the horse kicked the grass and protested a little. The professor patted his back again, trying to calm him down. He repeated the spell on the horse's neck, the hair turning white and growing significantly.
"Remember to keep your intent very clear in your head when you cast the spell. It's the intent that changes those particular part of the Granian horse and doesn't hurt them." Serious looks to everyone.
Moving on. "You see those saddles on the horses? Our groundskeeper has already put those for us, for a faster and safer ride, we're going to stick some of the runestones on them." He stuck his hand inside his pocket and fished out a handful of runestones, "You can pick any runes you think would help you with this. Just be careful to avoid contradictory runes. For example, you can't use Kenaz with Isa. One is fire, the other is ice." Yes? Get it? "You can ask me if you need any help with those."
Botros fixed the runestone to the saddle with his wand, using the glue spell. "I'm using Raidho. To invoke the runes and make them magically effective, you need to chant their Galdrs." He cleared his throat and started, "raidho raidho raidho... r r r r r r r r r... ru ra ri re ro... rudh radh ridh redh... rodh... (rut rat rit ret rot)... or er ir ar ur... r r r r r r r r r..." The runestone immediately glowed, the horse started getting restless and kicked again. "Maybe use something to calm the horse down, too. Too much magic can unsettle them." Botros grabbed another runestone, "Now you all can do the same. Pick a horse, try to reach out to him, use the spell and then fix some runestones on the saddle."
Any questions, come to him of course. Botros started fixing runestones on his saddle.
ooc: - You need 5 posts to get full credit for this activity. (Communicate with the horse, use the spell on them, then start fixing runestones to the saddle & invoking them with the Galdrs).
- Only two people are allowed to work on a horse, if there is any student left, they can partner with Botros. 
- Have fun with this! More creativity = more likely to get full credit + extra credit.
- Any questions you may PM/VM/Tweet me.
- Class will resume to the final activity in 48 hrs.

His housemate, in fact, so he was happy to work with her.
"Hi. Mo," he pointed to himself instructively. Names were learned now. Mo turned his attention to Botros and the Granian, cringing slightly when it became obvious that the winged horse did not like the spell being cast on him. When it was time for them to practice, Mo's hand shot up in the air. "Professor, if the horse doesn't want to lose his wings, can we just make the hair change?"
Mo eyed the Granians again before giving Nicola a nod. "You can choose one. I think we ought to make friends with it, if we can, and maybe then it won't mind so much that we're removing his wings." Nicola redirected her attention towards the Professor as he had practically...nominated a partner for the seventh year. Not that she minded, it was actually very sweet of the man, doing the hard part for her. So she smiled politely towards Professor Botros as a way of a thanks. She almost winked, but refrained, force of habit probably.
Turning her attention towards her partner this time as he offered his hand to shake hers. Nicola smiled as she got a closer look at him, to see him dressed in blue robes like she. Housemates, big plus! She knew he looked kind of familiar! Mo was his name? ...Was it short for something? Who knew, she was sure she'd find out at some point. She nodded in response before she said, "Name's Nicola."
Seeing his eyes travel to the Professor once more, her eyes soon followed to watch the Professor cast the spell in order for the wings of the Granian to shrink. Nicola's eyes winced quickly as she watched the horse become a little agitated briefly, thus only making Nicola want to run to the poor creature & comfort it. Although soon relaxing once the Professor had calmed it down. Clearly noting, that it wouldn't be of the Granian's liking once you cast the spell.
In response to Mo, Nicola replied, "Think I'll choose the Thurisaz rune..And I couldn't agree with you more..I'd find that very important to establish that trust if we're to get anywhere with this majestic creature.." |
