The thestral discussion hadn’t gotten much of a reaction, since she couldn’t see it, but knowing it was there, the disappearing apple wasn’t notable. Besides, nothing really could surprise her at Hogwarts. If anything strange had, she knew she would have constantly been in a state of shock. It was easier to just observe and listen, switching over to murmuring the Placement charm as they’d been told to practice. Accents didn’t seem to matter much when it was a basic word. “Fixate. Fixate, fixate, fixate…”
Then, instead of moving on to wand movement and learning the whole charm, they’d been told to partner up and head over to the horses. She’d almost laughed as everyone had suddenly burst into action and paired up, considering the movement had to have warmed them up. She’d almost forgotten about herself, though, and after a moment glanced around to see if anyone else was still partnerless. Worst case scenario, she’d have to work alone. She’d been around horses before. They’d been normal, regular horses, but she figured that the concept was still the same. They were all creatures, and she was okay with creatures.
She’d noticed a boy huddled up near Nigel, however. A little Claw was speaking with the prefect, and she’d boosted herself up of the ground and followed. “Hey. Did you need a partner?,” she asked the boy. A Slytherin, it looked like. “Either that or a hot air charm or two,” she added, smiling a little to show she was joking. Although that wouldn’t have been turned down if anyone had asked her.
Claimed! Yaaaaay!
And seriously, Simon should see this because it proved his theory that girls here in Hogwarts are a lot prettier,
but Josette is the prettiest. Just saying. He wasn’t going to tell the older student that though. Compliments are good, yes, but not right away. He’s not
that stupid.
Ethan looked at the older student and grinned at her.
“Yes I do!” Grins for you miss.
“…and yeah a hot air charm would be nice too.” Ethan hugged himself and shivered a bit.
“I’m Ethan, by the way. Hi!” he got his hand out and waved at the older girl. Shaking hands isn’t a great idea right now since his digits are all cold.
“So…shall we?” he asked and prepped himself to follow Professors Fuller and Thompson.
