Better just to play it safe, even if playing it safe had Mo putting an arm firmly around Lex so she didn't fall out of the carriage.
It was a really sharp turn. "Careful. Try not to hex off my nose. If I don't get to play Quidditch after school, I'm obviously going to have to live off my looks." Or not. Mo let go of Lex and picked up the reins again with both hands, redirecting the Abraxan to the original path. "Keep your eyes peeled."
At the moment she couldn't tell whether Mo was steering the Abaraxan or the Abraxan was taking them on a joy ride but it was clear Mo was trying to get a handle on it again as the carriage rushed across the slippery snow. Just up ahead, she could see a snow mound, one they'd be heading for unless Mo could get the thing to turn and she got her wand set to blast in case it didn't happen but they did turn, so sharply in fact that if Mo hadn't been hanging on to her she might have been dangling from the carriage. Wouldn't
that have been an interesting ride?
She burst out laughing at Mo's announcement that his face may be his only source of living if Quidditch didn't happen. She could see it working for him but laughing was better than admitting, obviously.
"Lucky for you I happen to have brilliant aim." Though with the way this carriage was jerking about, it was a wonder she hadn't hexed another carriage on accident.
She gave him a two fingered salute after he'd let her go then turned to see what else might be trying to get them killed. Just up ahead there was what looked like another pile of snow.
"Reckon we could get him to jump?" She asked, indulging in the idea of how epic it would be for just a moment before lazily flicking her wand, no rush with it still a little ways off,
"Bombarda!" Why couldn't all their classes deal with explosions?
