After changing his tie to his original house colour and put it back on, he glanced towards the ravine below. His eyes grew larger at the thought of climbing down steep,narrow and uneven looking ground.He felt his heartbeat quickening, doubtful if they could make the descend but he trusted Professor Quigley's decision.
He sighed,why couldn't they magically conjure up stairs instead? Or take a broom and fly down. Wouldn't it better by risking your whole body into this? Alright, enough pondering... he needed to train himself to be brave...he would do this again in the future by hunting dragons,right... why not be prepared now or never.
Henric thoughts flew right out of the window as he began to trail carefully behind the others. He needed to put all his concentration fully onto this, he wouldn't want to miscalculate his steps and lose his balance in the process. Merlin...he mustn't look down too, his vision went blurry for a split second upon discovering more jagged rocks lying at the bottom. He quickly grabbed a low lying branch in case his legs decided to give way at any moment. Henric called for llia who was one step ahead of him, "Be careful, there's rocks below!" Well duhh...obviously, there were rocks everywhere, he was stepping on one now. Henric mentally smacked his head, she seemed to be fine...good...but his heart was not. How long further did they have to go?
When his feet finally landed onto soft ground, he couldn't help feeling the relief he got from successfully conquering his mild fear of heights.He was glad he didn't stumble onto his feet or anything like that. Henric glanced back up and immediately regretting it. After their activities over, wouldn't they be climbing back the same route again? Ilia grinned as he chuckled and gave her a thumbs up. She turned her tie back to its original , beautiful green and may as well have gotten a twinkle in her eye at what the professor said next. They were going to march down and play in the ravine? She wondered what he had down there waiting for them.
She didn't balk in the slightest at hiking down the ravine, she lived near deep forests and mountains prior to this and was accustomed to making her way through this sort of terrain. Happily trailing down with the other students she could have walked down as quick as a mountain goat. Henric seemed a bit less comfortable with the idea though......."There are a lot of rocks everywhere. Henric, the rocks won't bite, just don't make eye contact." She smiled back at her best friend. Maybe if he saw how calm she was about it, he would loosen up.
Down ,down, down they went, past trees and shrubs and the concerning rocks. Ilia simply made sure her feet placed soundly and strolled down as easily as if it were a side walk. She did look back frequently to check on Henric though. He seemed to be alright despite his nerves, maybe it looked daunting if you had never done it before. Considering they weren't using protective charms or brooms, it was an indicator that it wasn't that bad as far as she was concerned. They had shot each other in the air through hoops in the last class. Professor Cat might be slightly different in how he did things, but he would still get in trouble if he got them broken.......
Once she made it to the bottom she waited for Henric and stood beside him with a grin. "You made it past the rocks, for a minute I was worried that one would charge and get us by surprise." She teased playfully, smiling at him. Hopefully he wouldn't get mad at her teasing..... |
