She was on a horse and this could serve as a preparation for her dream when she got to ride a Hippogriff.
Now, was Lex up already?
"
No, you won't," Cassia twisted around grinning at her bestie. Knowing Lex, Cassia was sure that if there was a chance for one of them to fall off the lioness would make sure it was herself. Gryffindors were like that. It was kind of stressful to know how much it'd be in Cassia's case. She didn't operate very well under stress. But surely she cared about her bestfriend so she grabbed the reins tightly to assure that both of them will be safe and hopefully won't fall off.
There was also the fact that it kind of tickled to be held around the waste. The fifth-year banished the childish thoughts and ordered herself to act like the fifteen-year old she's supposed to be.
"
Here we go!" She cheerfully announced adding another gentle kick to Lex's. And the horse started trotting forward. "
Okay. A smooth start just till I get the hang of this," she murmured to herself rather than Lex. She was going to need a bit of time before she let the horse go on full speed. That if they ever reached that level with her holding the reins.
Feeling a bit surer, she nudged the horse again with her foor urging it to pick up its pace. Absent-mindedly she chewed on her lower lip and held the reins firmly that her knuckles turned white.
"I would." Lex said, sticking her nose in the air and putting on her best snobbish voice before breaking into a grin of her own. She had to make a conscious effort to not wiggle around too much. Cassia was having some kind of moment with this horse riding thing and she didn't want the possibly distracted girl losing her balance.
For now Lex nodded at Cassia muttering about the slow trotting. As much as Lex wanted to lose her patience she couldn't. If Cassia did get the hang of this they'd both be in for it because
she was the one with the reigns and Lex's only support on this horse happened to be
her.
"You might wanna speed up in a bit. Those rocks won't jump themselves and the granian will have better luck taking it at a run."
Just some helpful advice before she got to her part of this team work. Making sure the runes stayed working by reinforcing them. Lex drew her wand from it's holster once more.
"dagaz dagaz dagaz dh dh dh dh dh dh dh dh dh d d d a a a g g g a a a z z z du da di de do dh dh dh dh dh dh dh dh dh odh edh idh adh udh od ed ud ad ud d d d a a a g g g a a a z z z." Her voice was in a steady hum almost and she watched the glowing runes. Granted, she wasn't sure what this one was doing as opposed to Cassia's but she'd be chanting that one next so it didn't matter.
No really, they could go faster.
