Post 4 - Training Activity (Hoops #3+#4) Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna "That's great Aidan...that's real good," Benny encouraged the dragon as he flew through the rest of the way through the second hoop and nearly halfway towards the third without much coaxing. That really was it. The less times he had to use the fire spell on the creature, the better. At least the better he felt about it. Having an idea, the sixth year turned and fully faced in the direction Aidan was and slowly backed up towards the hoop that was their latest target. "Come on Aidan...come follow me."
It took a little bit of effort and maybe the swinging of an arm or two towards himself in encouragement, but Aidan followed almost obediantly. This could make things even easier! "Good boy!" Benny praised, moving under the hoop once more as the Norwegian Ridgeback flew through it. Except as the Gryffindor moved further, it appeared as if he must have talked, or rather thought too soon.
Aidan ducked down in his flying, moving directly towards him as if wanting to land on him. The boy stopped in place as he registered it. "No Aiden....gotta keep flying ." Benny didn't want to chance trying to get the dragon moving again if he stopped and rested. "Incendio!" he cast, letting the flames almost embrace the dragon lovingly and nudging him back upwards towards the line of hanging hoops.
He'd have to make it up to his charge later if he could. "Incendio!" he cast again, using his earlier technigue of aiming at the back underbelly to inch him in the direction he wanted. Before long, Aiden was flying through hoop number four much to Benny's delight.
11 more to go.
