Before he could even think of a thing to say to calm the girl in red’s nerves down the operator was speaking to him.

“Oh yeah that sounds quite fun” he nodded. “I’ll give it a whirl” he nodded. Bragging rights – he heard about that and almost chuckled. Evan was next in line it seemed which was nice. “how fast does this thing go?” He asked the operator.

"Depending on the age and size of the person riding it it has a different setting for each one." he said kindly in response. "For younger students, it'll be slower and gentler, for older students it'll be a little rougher and faster." Did that explain it well enough? Hopefully!

"If you're ready just put your left foot into the stirrup and swing your right foot up over into the saddle. Then hang on to the handles right here." he said showing the boy where to put his feet and how to hang on.

It felt reaaally weird, before he realised he had to move along with it. *ROCK* *ROCK* *ROCK* So, he gradually allowed his lower half to move with it in a pushing motion, up and down, up and down, up and- hey, he was getting the hang of it. Wade rose one hand again before beaming, "Woooo, this is awesome!" If this was as fast as it was going to go, well, this was a piece of cake then.. or pie.. maybe even pickles too. Hm.

"Great job!" he exclaimed watching the older boy able to get the rhythm of the ride and hang on quite easily. Hmmm, was the hippogriff malfunctioning? Or was he really just that good....might want to check it when it ended. Couldn't make it too easy for them. Right?

"Woooo hooooo!'' Adi shouted, thoroughly enjoying himself. "I won't let you throw me off!'' He held on tighter with his left hand and raised his right one above his head, just as he had seen on television. This was soooooo much fun!

A grin appeared as the young boy started talking to the hippogriff. "Great job!" he called, as the boy held on tight, but almost chuckled when he raised one hand above the head. Wanted to be a cowboy as well!

She had never had this much fun and felt this free before in her life.

But soon Petra noticed that it was getting harder to hold on, the hippogriff was bucking wildly, and more fiercely than ever before, and now Petra was concentration on holding on to this hippogriff. She was not going to let go. “Don’t let go... Don’t let go...” Petra’s hand started to get numb and then Petra felt as if she was flying and then had landed on a soft cushion of some sort. Petra opened her eyes and saw the hippogriff she was riding. Well at least I had fun Petra thought. She tried to look at the crowd but they were going in every direction. Petra started to get up and walk off the ring but as soon as she stood up her legs wobbled and she fell back down. Petra tried to stand up again and she fell back down. This time she just laid there waiting for the sky to stop spinning or for a staffer to help her out of the ring. But she will never forget this moment, the first time she had fun.

Heading over to the girl when she landed on the cushioned ground. "Well done!" When she fell back down, he offered his hand to help her up. "Once everything stops spinning we can help you up, how does that sound?" It was hard to walk after bouncing around like that, he knew that much! "How are you feeling?"

Text Cut: Zahra and Mikey

"Nope not at all, it's completely safe. The hippogriff goes by the size and weight of the person for the difficulty level." he responded with a smile turning to the next boy. So far the ride had been a huge hit! The kids were starting to challenge one another!

"Err....with Mikey?" he asked as a young girl approached. "Mikey who?" Had he missed someone? "It's not too easy to hold on to the handles for two people, and there's only one saddle." He winced at the thought of two young kids riding it and then flying off and landed on one another as well. Yes the ring was cushioned but if they rode together and bashed heads or something? OUCH!

"I recommend the two of you take turns rather than go together, you might end up getting hurt..." he said shaking his head. And who was Mikey?

Ohhhhh...that's Mikey! "I still say you two shouldn't ride together." he said shaking his head "You might land on one another, and there isn't four handles to hang onto."

Oh wait what? No prize? “Not even a food coupon or anything?” Bragging rights? “I cant eat bragging rights.” Little miss petite huffed a bit then—full stop. The man thought she went to Hogwarts? More eeeyyyeeeing Mr Game Operator. Is she so obviously young? Huff huff huff. Need to put on more make up to look older. Of course she has the option to... nah. That other option isn’t particularly comfortable.

ANYWAY “Fine. I will go ride it out till the end of the song.” Steals glance at Mr Curly McShady. Whatever he’s up to, she’s certainly not one to back out now. Not that she had a choice.

Oh one other thing. Spins around to Mr Hippogriff Man again “How many tries do we get?” she asks casually. “I mean some of us doesn’t know what its like to be tossed around like parcel before.” Hmmmm?

"I...uhhmmm." he didn't know what to say! Maybe he should have thought of prizes for lasting til the end? Eat bragging rights? Okay well, that was true but.. He was about to try for a response again but she spoke saying she'd ride it out til the end of the song. "Okay, yep let's get you settled then on the..." Wait. What? Like a parcel? Merlin! "You can try as many times as you'd like. You just need to wait in line again if there's others behind you."

And of course the first place he went to was the Mechanical Hippogriff!! He wasn't worried about Z finding him because they thought alike and he knew that this would be the first place she headed to as well. "There's not a height limitation is there?" he asked the man running the show. Quote: Originally Posted by Mad Eye Touz "I'M GOING TO SPEND THE MONEY PLYMOUTH GAVE ME ON A LEASH FOR YOU, TOUSSAINT." He kept RUNNING OFF AND LEAVING HER OKAY GOSH MERLIN HEAVE HO OUT OF BREATH MAAAAAAAN. But basically it was okay because there was ..... A... Mechanical.... Majestic.... Hippogryff.... FOR THEM TO RIDE. Basically, Zahra's life had been leading to this moment. This was the peak. What came after this? Really now,what topped this? "I WANT TO RIDE WITH MIKEY." OKAY? WHO WAS RUNNING THIS THING? SHE WANTED TO RIDE WITH HIM. Quote: Originally Posted by Mell "It's not my fault you can't keep up with me." He looked down at her, not very far but a little. " We should learn how to do a stretching jinx. That way you can be as tall as me." And then she wouldn't get left behind. Mikey was practically bouncing up and down. When could they have a go? He didn't want to have to wait any longer. Of course Zahra wanted to ride with him. Michael looked at the man who was running the ride and grinned. "SHE'S A BIT OF A SCAREDY CAT. I'LL NEED TO HOLD HER HAND." BWAHA!!! "Nope not at all, it's completely safe. The hippogriff goes by the size and weight of the person for the difficulty level." he responded with a smile turning to the next boy. So far the ride had been a huge hit!
