Louis had certainly warmed up to Olivia. The galdr was coming in handy for sure. Maybe she should always carry one with her near magical creatures, huh? That'd be a nice trick to have up her sleeve. As she smiled at Louis, she briefly got lost in thoughts, wondering where this creature was from and what his story was. She laughed when he began pushing his head into her hand. He was nuzzling her hand a lot and Olivia would have forgot that they had a task to accomplish if not for Etta and a few other students leaving for the second part of the activity. Aha... Right. She turned to Louis. "Alright Louis, shall we get started?" she asked. He gave her hand a headbutt which she assumed was a Go for it so Olivia got on his back and readied herself for the possibility of flying.

Oh Merlin.

FLYING?

She gulped and took a deep breath, reminding herself that she needed to remain calm. If she ended up screaming on top of the thestral, that would only scare poor Louis more. She patted the Louis' neck gently before leaning forward to whisper, "Shall we give flying a go? Let's go to where that girl went... over there," she said pointing to the Slytherin girl (Kimothy) by the trees. Louis nodded and began a brief run and then all of a sudden they were....

They were flying!!

A smile tugged on her lips and she took a moment to enjoy the breeze tossing her hair gently as the thestral and her glided through the sky. This was so much better than flying on a broomstick! She brought her arms up into the air and grinned as they flew before bringing them back to rest safely on the thestral as she remembered that she had awful balance and didn't want to incite falling off of Louis. Olivia leaned forward with hands gently on Louis as they came to a soft landing. "That was amazing. Thanks friend," she said with a grin, giving Louis a well deserved pat.

Now to find a tree. She saw the Slytherin girl (Kimothy) eying a tree and decided to head over towards there. Now that looked like a well built tree. Very dense. "Hey! Need a hand?" she offered with a grin as she approached the other girl. Two wands could get the job done easily, right?
