SPOILER!!: Better than a blanket fort

Erm... grooming? With a confused expression spread across his face, Alec looked up and over at Wade. What did he mean? Were they going to ruffle the horse's hair? Or give it a makeover? Or invite it to one of their blanket forts? ... He... would find out later. Right now, though, he was just going to pat the horse. Pat pat pat...
... And the rune was being invoked! Grinning, Alec kept on patting the horse, trying to calm it down. Because it was moving, slightly. Probably had something to do with the amount of magic, yeah? Yeah... the boy started making shushing noises for the horse to add onto the patting. There there, Granian. It wasn't going to be that bad.
He was done? The seventeen year old looked over at Wade's work and gave him a bro!nod of approval. Awesome job, Curly! Except now... this meant that it was hit turn to invoke his own rune. HEY Sowilo! Alec placed the runestone on the saddle and glued it on using the same spell Botros had used before. Right... Sowilo... Sowilo... this one was positive. And talking about strength in time of trouble. And the horse wasn't going to get hurt, that was important, too!
Taking a deep breath, Alec closed his eyes momentarily, trying to get rid of any other thoughts in there. Opening them again, he touched the runestone one last time before starting with the chant. "Sowilo sowilo sowilo...
s s s s s s s s s... s s s o o o l l l... su sa si se so..." Concentration. LOTS of it! "(sul sal sil sel sol)... us as is es os... si se su sa su... s s s s s s s s s..."
And... the runestone GLOWED! The Hufflepuff looked up at the Head Boy and GRINNED. They made a BRILLIANT team!
"
Hmm.. I'm not sure." Wade's brows furrowed as he tried to think of a good name for the horsie. He gave it a good look over.. Huh. "
Well, I think it's a girl.. how's Nicole sound?" With the exception of Peppy, all his named stuffed animals were boys.
When it came to Alec's turn to carve, "
You can do it, Spiffy!" His fist raised slightly to cheer him on. Watching as it glowed and everything, in between singing sweet lullabies for the horsie and patting her gently. It wasn't easy either, since Wade loved seeing shiny and bright things.
Finally though it ended, and he beamed back at Alec. "
Brilliant work, mate!" Giving him another bro fist pump before facing the horse again, "
You did amazing, thanks for trusting us." Giving it another pat and stroke. So then, what was next?
