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! The little jump of excitement followed by the show of manners was oddly amusing, yet Lily managed to keep her reaction just to a smile. They had a race to finish, after all, and that meant letting Gray have his reins and run. Of course, that meant it’d likely be more difficult for Ethan to steer. She wasn’t about to suddenly turn around and say he couldn’t do that job, though, not when it risked dashing all his excitement to pieces. She wasn’t about to be responsible for that, especially not when it could be useful in keeping them going. “Why thank you,” she replied, climbing into the carriage and settling in for at least the time being. She figured she’d probably end up moving again once they got going, to really make sure that she eliminated any obstacles, but for now, sitting was fine. Besides, it was at least a tiny bit warmer inside the carriage, especially after Ethan had jumped in next to her and taken the reins.
That had seemed like even more of a good idea as he’d signaled their horse to go, and Gray had jumped forward like a shot. They’d definitely chosen right if they wanted to go for speed. She’d grasped the edge of the carriage as they’d sped forward, making sure she kept hold of her wand as well. It wouldn’t have been very good if she lost that right as they started, since that would have made it difficult to get rid of snow and everything. At least, she wasn’t about to sabotage the other two carriages as they’d pulled up alongside them, and she’d waved as Ethan had greeted those inside.
She was keeping her voice for casting. Power would be good here, especially not knowing what was planned. So far, nothing seemed to be appearing, yet she’d peered ahead as her partner had spoken again. “I see it,” she said, half-standing up as she pointed her wand over Gray’s back. “Bombarda!,” she cast, avoiding hitting their horse as the jet of light zoomed past to collide with the pile of icy snow up ahead. Now it was Ethan’s job to avoid the remnants. She was ready for whatever came next.
