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.

“Eyes on the target, Mordaunt.” Ethan commanded himself mentally as he held on the reins and steered Gray away from the remnants of the ice that was put to smithereens by Lily. “Good shot!” The Slytherin called out and squinted as he tried his best to keep his focus on the carriage that carried Professors Fuller and Thompson. Just like in snowboarding, he’d have to weave through a slope, but should keep his focus on the finish line. In their case, their finish line’s a moving carriage pulled by a thestral.

“Snowballs up ahead! Hang on!” See? Forewarning’s effective and such. Ethan quickly looked to his right to see if there was any carriage coming in, and steered Gray in that direction to avoid the pelted snowballs.

THWACK!

Oh no he didn’t! The Slytherin’s used to snow and snowballs and snow fights okay? But that snowball did hurt his ego a bit. A quick look to his left and steered Gray in that direction, overtaking a carriage. “If I knew there was a race, I would have brought my snow goggles with me.”

“Let’s go, Gray!” Yeeeeeehaaaaw!!!
