Without flying, which would have made it more nerve-wracking for her. Granted, the carriage was probably safer than a broom, yet she still would rather stay on the ground. Soon enough, though, they’d been released to actually accomplish the activity, and she’d glanced over as she’d heard her partner speak. “Seems like a good idea to me,” she replied, noting that several of the others had seemed to go for size over speed. Granians should be okay with pulling the carriage, as far as she was concerned, and it made them different. Different was good, and maybe it’d give them an advantage.

They definitely had energy to their advantage, as she’d found herself using every inch of her long legs to keep up with Ethan as he’d gone over and claimed one of the Granians for themselves. She’d smiled a little at the slightly uncreative name, anyway, reaching out to stroke the animal’s nose lightly as he’d kept talking. “I’m sure you’ll warm up when you’re allowed to start running,” she murmured to the horse, now apparently dubbed Gray, smiling again as it had nickered a little. It was almost like it was responding, hopefully to the affirmative. She’d glanced back over at Ethan as his comments had been directed toward her again, anyway, continuing to pet the horse as she’d listened. “Of course. Just make sure that you can handle the reins, because we want Gray to really use his speed,” she replied. They wanted to win. If that meant she had to blast snow out of their way, she’d do that.

She’d had to pull her hand away from the Granian’s nose quickly as he’d gone on to cast the Placement charm. She wasn’t planning on doing the blasting while attached to the horse’s nose, after all, but she’d given Gray another stroke after the bridle had been placed. “Okay now. Just another minute or so and then you’ll be able to move,” she whispered, before going over to the carriage and Ethan. “Yep. Did you want to get in first, or should I?” She’d be fine with them both jumping in at the same time, if he’d rather. It would save time, and they’d get going sooner. Mo and Lex had already started moving, so that meant they needed to as well.

She’s giving him the reins??? COOL!

Ethan may have jumped a little in excitement and stepped back to let Lily step in the carriage. Race or not, there was no way he’d forget his manners, hmmkay? Mordred taught him that, and he’d slap himself if ever he forgot. “After you, Miss Lily.” As soon as his partner was settled, Ethan sat beside her and got hold of Gray’s reins. Mad grinning was happening, and he can’t help but fidget a little in his seat. Looking at his left and right, he saw that Mo and Lex got to go first, followed by Adi and Ben. Hey guys! Hi! ‘Sup? The waving and greeting will come after…when they reach the finish line first.

“HOLD ON TIGHT!” Ethan yanked the reins hard and Gray immediately sprang into action! No warm ups for this dude! The Slytherin could swear that if they were riding a normal horse, it’d look like it was trotting…like a light jog if it were a human being. That’s not the case however, with Gray. They were already pacing. And because of its speed, they already caught up with the two teams. “Hello fellas!”

See? Picking a Granian was the best bet for this task. But…is Lily, ready? “I can see an obstacle up ahead, Lily! Ready when you are!” Ethan held Gray’s reins a little tighter, ready to steer their horse away just in case Lily misses it. All yours, Ravenclaw!
