Amur grinned broadly at Zeke. It already was awesome. Creating dragons from stones. Classmates making bets. Professors sponsoring bets. Classmates succeeding in winning half a bet. And...AND!

FLYING ON DRAGONS?!

She was excited. Truly she was. Even though she was just standing there, staring at the Professor with her mouth slightly agape, she truly was excited. Too excited to move. Like rolling over while having a good dream would disrupt said good dream. Yeah, this was the same thing. A flinch would destroy this awesome dream.

And then there were people moving. And her cage was rattling.

Blinking, Amur slowly looked down at her dragon. It had climbed up the bars and was trying to claw at her, as if saying 'wake up silly. I want to fly.'

Good. Because she wanted to fly too! And she would not, ever, ever, ever utter a word to any Professor about this. This, was pure Charms-Transfiguration-Class-Secret.

Starting, Amur put her cage down and squatted in front of it. She pulled out her wand and looked between the two. She really didn't want to explode her dragon. The Professor had said intention was key. She looked at her wand again. She was really excited to fly. Not exploding said dragon would be very good, both in being able to fly and well not killing her creation.

Which brought up the question....Did rocks have guts?

So she protested. "Also, if I exploded my dragon, then I wouldn't have one anymore, and I'm attached to this one because I already named it. So I think I'll just ride on someone else's." Any volunteers?
Amur's head came up as another girl voiced her concern about exploding dragons. Wasn't safe?

Her eyes went to the Professor. She didn't think it was supposed to be safe. And well, safe wasn't the point. The experience was.

"I took my dad's girlfriend's car for a joy-ride in the field behind our barn. It was a convertible too." Reaching into her cage, she held her hand out for her dragon, who eagerly hoped aboard. "It wasn't safe, but it was something I'll never forget."

She gave the older girl a grin. "But if you don't want to try with your dragon, you can ride with me." Just saying, if she truly didn't want to try.
