Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium
So his answer hadn't been one of the best. It was alright. Wrong answers led to learning and that's what he was here for. Plus, it could've been much worse. He could've been one of those that wanted to 'ride' the kelpie and get himself eaten. Shaking his head slightly, he listened to Headmaster Trent continue on with the lesson.
The sight of wooden horses appearing suddenly was a bit of a surprise. For several moments his attention was fixed on the horses as they stomped at the ground. Something was telling him already that this was going to be easier said than done.
Slowly pulling his gaze away from the wooden horses and back onto the Headmaster just in time to see him performing the necessary wand movement for 'fixate'. The incantation was easy enough. Not a tongue twister like some of those other incantations were. "Fixate, fixate, fixate..." he repeated over and over again almost like some sort of weird chant while he went to collect a bridle from the bucket.
Turning the bridle over in his hands a few times, he held it up in front of him trying to picture it already in place on the wooden horses head area. It looked right from here. Lowering the bridle again, he pulled his wand out and practiced the wand movement a handful of times. If he didn't get that right along with the incantation he wasn't going to stand a chance.
Now came the hard part. Maybe? Luka wasn't honestly sure. Those wooden horses weren't doing anything more than stomping at the ground right now but his big sisters words rung loud and clear in his head, 'Remember Luka, no matter what's happening whether it's inside Hogwarts or anywhere else, constant vigilance is key. Things aren't always as they seem'. He had been told this for as long as he could remember.
Don't be caught off guard by what the wooden horses looked like...
Maybe it would be smarter to wait a moment and see how everyone else approached the situation before he gave it a try himself.
