Default Out on the grounds (Charms 2 & Transfiguration 2)

_________________________________

After you have left the classroom, you are led to a wide open area on the school grounds. This is where the second portion of the joint lesson will be taking place so don't dilly dally in getting here.

In the sky, there are tiny hoops floating at even distances but those are none of your concern for the time being.

Gather around for the instructions to be handed out once the last of the stragglers have arrived. No worries about the crisp winter morning air as charms have been placed around the area to keep the temperature comfortable. Thoughtful; yes, we know.

There, practice was done, and Balerion hadn’t wandered too far off. Brooklyn had needed to shift around a bit just so her dragon would have to stop, but he hadn’t gotten far. Now, she just had to make him bigger, so he could really be what he was supposed to be. A tiny Balerion was hardly threatening enough. Besides, she was really looking forward to riding him, even if she’d seen Professor Bellaire raise her hand in response to the earlier question of who would tell the headmistress that they were flying. She still wasn’t entirely sure what was wrong with flying, and she’d figured the motion had just been a continuation of what had been happening in the classroom. Obviously professor Bellaire and Professor Quigley didn’t get along. It was interesting, but growing Balerion was more interesting.

“Engorgio!,” she said again, turning her wand in the clockwise unfinished circle in the direction of her dragon. Her eyes narrowed as he grew a little bit, but that was hardly enough. She couldn’t ride a dragon that was barely larger than a dog. “Engorgio!,” she said again, her wand turning a second time. Still nowhere near big enough, and she was starting to get annoyed.

Focusing on an image of Balerion, eight feet long and taller than herself, she pointed her wand at the dragon a third time. Moving it in the unfinished circle, she took a breath before repeating “Engorgio!” Once the spell had been cast, she’d had to dance backward a few steps as her dragon grew, and grew. Stopping at almost the exact size she’d had in her head, and she’d smiled a little. That was better.

Once confident that she would be able to perform the spell with some degree of success the Ravenclaw took a few steps back from the dragon and looked at it. It tilted it’s head back and for a fraction of a second Layla actually considered that it was ‘quite cute’. Magical creatures were not her thing but perhaps she could try and trust this thing.

She still wasn’t getting on it though.

She drew out her wand from its holster and drew an incomplete circle making sure that it was moving in the clockwise direction towards her mini dragon. “Engorgio” she spoke clearly and minus the majority of her accent which quite frankly was pretty difficult to do in the first place. Her south London accent was a part of who she was, she wasn’t changing it for some ‘posh’ school kid who probably wouldn’t be able to understand her. This was the real world, people had accents from all over the place.

To her relief the Dragon slowly grew in size until it was about 7 feet long. She liked it at this length, it wasn’t too big and considering she really didn’t want to fly it anyway it would be a perfect fit for others. She herself was ridiculously tall for a girl and her long lanky legs would dangle off the side stupidly. Hence why there was no way she was ever going to get on a broomstick.

She stood by the beast and waited for further instruction to come.

Austin held his breath as his dragon grew. He was hoping that it wouldn't explode. That was the last thing he wanted. Plus his dragon was his new friend, and he would like to keep his friends. But thankfully the dragon stopped growing, and didn't explode. But he wasn't sure if his friend was 8 ft or not. So, after scratching the dragon on the chin, Austin made his way to the tail of his dragon friend. He lied down so his feet were lined up with the end of his friend's tail. "Yep, you're bigger than me. That should be 8 feet."

So next step would be to ride it. That was the hard part. He got up and walked to the middle of his friend. How was he supposed to get onto him? Now his friend was huge! Maybe he should have gotten on his back as he was growing. "Hey Thrasher, can I get on your back?" Thrasher seemed to understand what he was saying, because he lowered himself for Austin to get on. After some difficulty, he did eventually get on. The Ravenclaw was surprised his friend was patient so long. "Thanks buddy!"

Next: Time to fly

"Firestorm! come out and play you know you want to play with all these other dragons." Angel smiled as the little dragon came out of the cage. "There's a good dragon." Angel beamed, seriously now all she had to do was sort everything out and make the dragon big.

Angel practiced the wand movement a few times before she looked at the dragon. "Here we go then, don't worry Firestorm it won't hurt!" Angel smiled this was going to be an amazing.

"Engorgio!!" Angel waved her wand and concentrated really hard and waited to see what happened, suddenly she saw the dragon getting big, she was getting a bit scary now. "Benny!" Angel sighed. "I'm a bit scared now." Angel wished Benny was nearer to her.


He was ready to fly here Professor.

Elliot seemed to be a bit less antsy then Benny himself but there was a fire in his belly regardless. They just had to wait for the time to come and the fifth year was perfectly content to spend the time alongside the closest thing to a real dragon around.

Hearing his name...his nickname being yelled, he turned to see Angel calling after him. Apparently she wasn't all to calm about her newly grown stone dragon, at least not as comfortable about it as he and Adi were. "Elliot...I need to help. Stay..." Benny said to his dragon before moving closer towards his girlfriend. Elliot didn't exactly listen, nudging him almost playfully from behind causing him to chuckle as he glanced backwards.

Alright...he could follow.

"It'll be alright," he said, trying to assure her. "They aren't nearly as wild and dangerous as the real thing." To demonstate, Benny gave Elliot a scratch on the head.

Forgive him for overestimating this one, however. Apparently it was too much to hope the boy knew something as simple as Ascendio...

Maddox jumped back, not willing to be pulled into the sky with the young Gryffindor and for the briefest moment he held his breath and prayed to Merlin that he wouldn't get fired for this but then miracle of all miracle--the boy LIVED! Nevermind he was currently suspended on a floating hoop, he was still LIVING and this no longer counted as an act of negligence so of course Maddox laughed. Lots of snickers and stifled laughs and at last just outright amused laughing as he lowered the hoop that supported the boy. "Splendid work, Mister Earnest." He said watching the hoop approach the ground. "You can collect those ten galleons when you've got some time." Because that, right there was classic entertainment and a reward was in order. A bet was a bet.

It surprised him that Ezra bothered trying to jump, being a muggle sucked in times like this, you needed fancy pants levitation spells and stuff to get you what you wanted. He was fascinated though that Quigley was letting him do all this. Awesome. Just, AWESOME. "C'mom Ez!" he cheered his bud.

The spell he used was weird, so weird, and he'd never heard of it. Was that a third year thing??? But it was kinda cool at the same time. Zeke watched as the older Gryffindor rose into the air and snagged the hoop.

Cool beans. SOOOO cool.

"Nice one," he offered him with a pat on the back, and expectant looks at the Prof. HE WAS GETTING THE GALLEONS!!! HAHAHAHAHAH ... this was just too cool, he pat Ezra on the back again.
Woooo he had done it, and before their dragon of a Transfiguration Professor had shown up. As he hung there and looked down at Professor Quigley he beamed back as the man began to laugh and told him that he had done a splendid job.

He had done a splendid job, hadn't he? None of the other kids had made it up there not that they had tried but still.

TEN GALLEONS! Mwahahaha. "Thanks Professor, you rock." He said as he was slowly and much more delicately lowered to the ground. Zeke had already clapped him on the back and the third year was walking on air. "Thanks man," he slapped Zeke on the back as well. "I'll buy you something at Hogsmeade this weekend since you believed in me and stuff." Zeke was a bro.

So was the Professor.

"So you all have the basic idea right here. The hoops are too small and too high. There's no way to get to them and even less a way to get through them with your dragon as is. This brings a few questions. How do we fix this? How do we get up there? What do we too about the hoops. Everything can easily be fixed with one spell."

He waved his wand about in the air causing it to create glowing red lines that finally spelled out:

ENGORGIO

"Can you all see this?" He took a step back so he wouldn't be blocking anyone. "Engorgio. This spell makes any object bigger and it's perfect for our current situation. Make the dragons bigger--you can fly them to the hoops. Make the hoops bigger--you can both fly through them." Easy as cake. "Mister Tempus brought up the point that flying isn't allowed anymore. Can I see the hands of the individuals that intend to report this to the Headmistress after we get through here? If so you may be excused. Head to the kitchens or back to your Common Rooms for a nap; whatever makes you happy. You have my expressed permission."

He'd even pause to give them a chance to leave. "As for the rest of you, the wand movement is an incomplete circle in a clockwise motion. Remove your dragons and cast on them. Remember the intent and do remember that enlargening beyond a certain point will cause the object to explode so I'll need you all to really focus. Try for nothing bigger than 8 ft from tip to tail." Did he need to repeat that for anyone? "Go ahead."


So I was meant to post this hours ago, whoops but this is pretty straight forward. Have your charries make their dragons big enough for them to mount and fly--within the limits stipulated by the Professor. It'll take 1-2 posts depending on how good your charrie is, their skill level, etc (I trust you guys with this realism thing). We'll move on to the final activity tomorrow evening.
Yes, back to dragons. He could count his Galleons later.

Safely back on the ground, the Gryffindor stood with the rest of the class and listened and watched intently to the directions being presented. He watched with wide eyes as both Bellaire's and Quigley's stone dragons were enlarged. They were like real life baby dragons now. Coolness.

Right so he wanted to do that now, could they start?? Yeah. Ezra picked up his dragon cage and walked a little bit away from the other students so he had plenty of room to work. Next he opened the tiny cage door and let the even smaller dragon walk timidly out. The Welsh Green looked up at him and snapped his jaws. "Okay Wallace," yes Wallace the Welsh Green dragon, "it's time for you to grow up!"

Ezra pulled out his wand from his front left pocket and pointed at the mini-dragon. Focusing as hard as he could at making Wallace grow larger he said the incantation with an incomplete, clock-wise circle, "Engorgio." The dragon began to swell slightly larger and then about two feet rapidly all of a sudden. Spooked by how fast it had happened, the Gryffindor stopped the spell. "Man, sloooooow down Earnest." he said to himself. He'd have to try and finish it again.

She would eventually get the hang of it, but when that would be is uncertain.

Deciding that she had quite enough of his shenanigans, AJ reached in and pulled the dragon out. "Now where was I?" Ah yes. It was time for her dragon to go from wimpy, wimpy, wimpy to hefty, hefty, hefty. She cleared her throat for good measure.

"Engorgio." Nothing. "Engorgio," she said a little bit louder, but the results were the same. Was she TOO excited to ride a dragon? Possibly, but she needed to concentrate because clearly she couldn't ride him at his current size.


"Nice name,'' Adi commented as he came closer to AJ. "Mine's Toothless.'' He glanced back towards his Opaleye which had its head resting on its front claws. Toothless seemed so relaxed and at ease as though this was something he did daily.

Anywaaay.

"You're still concentrating on me, aren't you?"
Cue the wink. "Now, try to focus that beautiful mind of yours on a bigger dragon... not too big. Remember it must be about eight feet max.'' Adi paused then smirked. "I beat you again. I'm starting to think you've lost your competitiveness.'' Hehe.

Yeah, Heather had been too excited about being outside to pay much attention to what else was going on. Until Quigley mentioned flying the dragons. They were going to be flying them? She wasn't going to tell the Headmistress, but she did have her doubts about this whole thing. It would be nice to be up in the air again. But this was a dragon. It didn't matter that she'd created it and so it would mind her according to the professors. Snoopy seemed a little rebellious, and so....

She let Snoopy out of his cage and pointed her wand at him. "Engorgio." And suddenly, she had an eight foot dragon in front of her. Yikes!

Right so now that Wallace was about three feet tall, Ezra needed to make him him bigger or he'd not even be able to ride him on the ground, very well at least, much less fly. Pointing his wand at the dragon once more, he envisioned the creature growing larger and larger to about the size of Professor Quigley's and the other students' dragons who were already finished.

"Engorgio." he said steadily and held his wand at the end of the incomplete, clockwise circle as the Welsh Green grew...and grew...and grew.

Lowering his wand the Gryffindor now had a roughly eight foot tall and long Welsh Green dragon to ride. "Wallace, how you've grown! I'm so proud!" Ezra shouted with excitement and hopped on the tail of the beast and shimmied up laboriously until he was seated in between the dragon's wings. Wallace gave what Ezra felt was a delighted little roar.

"What's next teach?" The third year said as he sat astride a bloody dragon.

"Nice name,'' Adi commented as he came closer to AJ. "Mine's Toothless.'' He glanced back towards his Opaleye which had its head resting on its front claws. Toothless seemed so relaxed and at ease as though this was something he did daily.

Anywaaay.

"You're still concentrating on me, aren't you?" Cue the wink. "Now, try to focus that beautiful mind of yours on a bigger dragon... not too big. Remember it must be about eight feet max.'' Adi paused then smirked. "I beat you again. I'm starting to think you've lost your competitiveness.'' Hehe.


A smile appeared on her face as soon as she heard his voice. "Thanks," she said without looking up at him just yet. "Toothless? That's wicked." And funny, because dragons totally had teeth.

"How did you know?" She blinked a fast several times pretending to be so infatuated with him. Truth be told she WAS infatuated with him, but that wasn't the reason for her not getting the spell down. At least she was almost certain of that. For a moment guilt washed over her as her mind reminded her what she had been thinking about only moments before. Not now, AJ.

Right. "I was trying that..." She really was trying. She had what? "You can't call it a competition if you don't announce you wanted to race." Rules, Adi. Plus, the thought of her losing her competitive edge was concerning.

Let's see here. "Engorgio!" Nope. Zelda was sill a cute ickle dragon. "Engorgio." More of the same. UGH! AJ really loathed struggling. "ENGORGIO," she cried with authority.

Blink. Blink.

Zelda was not tiny anymore. "YESSSSSSSSSS!" she exclaimed while jumping up and down in place. She was ready to ride him NOW.

Of course she would tell, she was the exception to the hand raising considering he'd already factored her into the equation. The bloody woman was free to go speak with the Headmistress after but as he'd just found out, this was done last term and the bloke still had his job. Let that sink in.

Angel thought whilst she was waiting she decided that she would try and get the dragon out of it's cage, it was going to be cool having a big dragon, but she hoped that they wouldn't fight each other and then she giggled as she thought about what someone would say if they came out of the school now, it would look like they are being invaded by dragons, she wondered if anyone would believe the person if they said anything.


He figured there would be at least one--there was always that one.

Maddox sighed but tried to maintain something of a patient tone, you know, more flies with honey and all that. No exploding yet. He did that first class and it got him nowhere. This was just one of those times when students didn't pay attention and he was obligated to respond anyway for his own peace of mind.

"You really should be paying better attention, Miss Valentine. A similar question was posed by Mister Scabior in class to which Professor Bellaire replied that the dragons would be around for about a day. Unless your spell casting is ridiculously inadequate, I do not see the dragon going to stone from right under you mid-flight." See? Perfectly safe.

Raising her hand, she said, "I'm terrified of heights and flying. Do I have to fly with my dragon? Can I just have it fly through on its own?" He was going to let her do that, right? Forcing her would be mean and she wouldn't be able to do it without Bay.


Oh?

Well that was a right fix now wasn't it? Due to certain extenuating circumstances, the Professor was in no position to push the point with the young Hufflepuff. Heights were nothing to be tussled with and serious things could happen to people with an aversion to heights that were forced to fly.

His expression softened some. "Nothing I can do about that, Miss Carrington. The hoops are currently too small for your dragon to fly through without a rider to enlarge them first. He can't fly without you and I can't force you to fly. The problem is, I didn't plan a back up activity. You'll simply have to sit it out." Sorry? Really he hadn't anticipated this.

"Professor could dragons ride two people at a time?" he asked.


That right there was something he expected from a Gryffindor.

Right then.

"As chivalrous as the thought is, Mister Lecium, I'm not sure and I'm not sure I want you to find out." Noooo, that was a prime example of negligence and Maddox was more subtle than that. "These are not as strong as real dragons and I, personally, don't know their limitations."

Quite plainly, he wasn't sure it was safe and wouldn't be allowing it for that reason.

"Get a room. Somewhere else."

No really, get a room somewhere off the school grounds so he wouldn't have to watch. This was class, not time for winking and thinking about each other. Surely the Prefect could remain focus on the task at hand for the duration of the lesson and he would hate to think that young Miss Valentine spent more time thinking about boys than her academics. This made the second time in one class Mister Rehman had accused her of this and he was getting disturbed. Students these days.

Next?

"Next you fly these brilliant creatures, but we'll wait for the others to catch up before we get into that portion." That was half a warning too for the students he'd seen already mount their dragons. NONE of them better take off yet.

"I don't mean it like that, Professor Quigley,'' Adi explained, totally unabashed. "It's my way of getting her to concentrate faster on her work.'' Yesh! He did it all the time, anyway, and it worked every time.

Anywaaay.

"You're still concentrating on me, aren't you?" Cue the wink. "Now, try to focus that beautiful mind of yours on a bigger dragon... not too big. Remember it must be about eight feet max.'' Adi paused then smirked. "I beat you again. I'm starting to think you've lost your competitiveness.'' Hehe.


A smile appeared on her face as soon as she heard his voice. "Thanks," she said without looking up at him just yet. "Toothless? That's wicked." And funny, because dragons totally had teeth.

"How did you know?" She blinked a fast several times pretending to be so infatuated with him. Truth be told she WAS infatuated with him, but that wasn't the reason for her not getting the spell down. At least she was almost certain of that. For a moment guilt washed over her as her mind reminded her what she had been thinking about only moments before. Not now, AJ.

Right. "I was trying that..." She really was trying. She had what? "You can't call it a competition if you don't announce you wanted to race." Rules, Adi. Plus, the thought of her losing her competitive edge was concerning.

Let's see here. "Engorgio!" Nope. Zelda was sill a cute ickle dragon. "Engorgio." More of the same. UGH! AJ really loathed struggling. "ENGORGIO," she cried with authority.

Blink. Blink.

Zelda was not tiny anymore. "YESSSSSSSSSS!" she exclaimed while jumping up and down in place. She was ready to ride him NOW.


"From the movie How to Train Your Dragon,''
Adi explained to AJ about the name's origin from the SUPER old movie. He grinned as though he had a secret. "I just know.''

"No fair. You said I won in class but now changing the rules?'' he kidded. "I say I won.'' The fifth year watched patiently, ready to rib AJ some more should she need it. Her first few attempts were futile and he was about to encourage her but he paused. Okay, she was giving this another go... annnnnd this time it worked! AWESOMEEE!

"Great! Next time to keep up with the master, will you?"

Mission accomplished!

Make the dragon bigger???? Why in the world would Margo want to make her little Hugo bigger. She love him in all his tiny little glory!! He was absolutely adorable the way he was!!! But Margo supposed she better do as she is told, or else.... maybe she wouldn't be invited back for another lesson if she didn't. Ugh moving on.

Pulling her wand at the ready Margo concentrated with all her might. She could do this! She was sure of it. Her magic had been getting stronger since she arrived at Hogwarts. She could feel it. She was finally beginning to get spells on the first try and she had used ENGORGIO n things before, not with so much luck, but at least she knew what this spell was for. Making her poor cute little Hugo bigger.

So pulling her thoughts in and digging deep down into her soul. Margo stated. "ENGORGIO" Basically shouting it! And Margo watched in amazement as her common welsh green began to grow into a dragon before her very eyes!! Lady luck was on her side, that's for sure.

A snort escaped from deep in her throat before she could stop it. She didn't actually plan on stopping it either... just to be clear. Quigley was a rare breed and that just made him all the more attractive awesome. "Does that mean you give us permission to blow off this lesson?" He was the one that brought it up anyways. She REALLY did want to fly this dragon though. Sass mouthing was something she couldn't really control. If it came to her mind, it usually meant that it was going to come out of her mouth. Sigh.

"Ohhhh." The movie did sound kind of familiar, but she couldn't be sure. Of course Adi and Benny would know all about them since the latter was obsessed with dragons. Was he whining? AJ laughed. "I dunno what you're talking about." Only she did, and she was a sore loser so neener.

More snorting happened. "I hope you aren't referring to yourself." Because there was only one master round these parts, and it was her. Mmmhmm.

She had her dragon the correct size, and was ready to flyyyyy. People who weren't up to speed could just grab a seat by Lux and watch them have fun.

Amur's eyes went between the Professor and the older girl she had extended the offer to, as her dragon crawled off her hand and onto the ground. He had a good point. Maybe the girl should try it on her own. And...oh...there was a little point about not being able to fly with two people. Well, there went that.

She shrugged an apology to the older girl as she tried to focus on the task at hand. Tried being the key word, given that other students were getting the casting right and getting dragons. Real dragons. Maybe not as big as dragons would normally be, but to the firstie, they were big. And everyone looked epic beside, or sitting on, their creatures. Even Professor Bellaire looked rather regal with her dragon curled up close to her.

Practically trembling with excitment, Amur looked down at her little dragon. He was so cute the way he was, but by the way he was looking at the other dragons and his tail was flicking in an almost impatient way, Amur knew that he wanted to be big too.

Taking a deep breath, Amur muttered the incantation, practicing the wand movement between the words. "Engorgio." Incomplete circle, clockwise. "Engorgio." Incomplete circle, clockwise. "Engorgio."

Big-but-not-too-big dragon. She closed her eyes and pictured the size she wanted, and after a moment, decided she was ready. She would not explode her dragon.

Lifting her hand over the creature, Amur cast the spell. "Engorgio." Incomplete circle, clockwise.

Grow dragon, grow!

Big dragon. That sounded cool to Toby, though as he looked around at the other kids in class and the growing (heh) number of large dragons, he couldn't help but feel like he just wasn't as... enthusiastic about this activity as he usually might have been. His excitable bouncing and huge great grin was nowhere to be seen, and instead the boy appeared devoid of emotion as he looked from the other students to the hoops and back to Ella in her cage again. Okay. Big dragon. He could do that. The growing charm thing wasn't too difficult, especially now he was well into his sixth year.

The Hufflepuff removed his dragon from the cage and knelt down on the grassy ground, setting the cage to one side and letting Ella hop down from his hand and onto the grass. Wouldn't make sense to use the charm while the dragon was still in his hand. He raised his wand and aimed.

"Engorgio," Toby said, as determined as he ever was when casting spells. He moved his wand clockwise in a circle, stopping just short of completing the shape, and concentrated as hard as he could on imagining the dragon growing. Slowly, the dragon began to grow, just like magic. The sixth year was slightly nervous about Quigley's comment about... exploding things, so he ended up prematurely cutting off the spell, when the dragon was only about four feet long. That was only half as long as the maximum Quigley had suggested, and though Toby was small, he wasn't sure the transfigured creature would manage to fly him around at its current size. He'd have to size it up some more.

So......she needed him or she couldn't concentrate on her school work...?

That was....quite frankly disturbing and he didn't think he wanted to respond to either of them, especially not with Miss Valentine's question of them actually being allowed to leave. The man simply shrugged and nodded back toward the castle. No questions from him, people could live their lives however they wanted even if it meant not having a functioning brain without each other. He wouldn't judge, 'least not out loud and not while he had a lesson to continue.


Speaking of, Maddox turned to face the rest of the class again. If there were those who still needed to grow their dragons, they would have to do that on their own time but he was moving on. Their time was drawing to a close and there were those who'd completed the task and deserved a ride before he had to end the lesson.

"Now that you have your dragons at a decent size to be ridden, it's time to mount them," if they hadn't already, "and get flying. The hoops are placed in something like a circle and you will each need to complete at least one lap without missing any hoops. Naturally to fly through them you'll have to make them bigger first so, no, your dragon cannot do the mini course without you." In case there had been others outside of Miss Carrington that had been wondering.

"You don't have to participate, but if you don't you're likely to sit here on the ground with me and watch the others getting a better handle on the spell." Not an ultimatum, simply a fact considering he didn't have an alternate plan.

"Before you take off, let me make this clear, you are to fly your dragons through the hoops and NOT off on your own path. I don't want to see any dragon fights either. No funny business. These dragons are under your command as is the nature of the spell so you will be held accountable for your dragon's actions and I won't hesitate to turn your dragon back to stone and levicorpus you back to the ground." Were they clear on that? He could repeat for those who were too awe struck by the dragons to pay much attention.

"The course has a few hoops at each location so I don't expect to see a bunch of students rushing the same hoop when there are two or three others floating next to it. Also," for the lazier bunch among them, "the hoops are charmed to shrink after someone has flown through so everyone will have to make their own way." Fun, yes? "So if there are no more questions, have at it." He would be staying RIGHT HERE on solid ground thank you very much.


Final activity! Thanks for sticking around guys <3 So like Maddox said, the students will have to use the spell to make the hoops big enough for them to fly through them in order to make a lap. Remember that the spell puts the dragons under the characters control so there shouldn't be anything out of control unless the charries orchestrated that themselves. You'll need 4-5 posts and have until Friday at maybe 7 pm GMT -5 to get this done. I do take catch ups so if you haven't made your dragon bigger yet and would like to, go right ahead but label appropriately so I can tell the difference.

~ Rise and Rise Again, Until Lambs become Lions ~

Her dragon did grow. Maybe about a foot each way. And the way in which it did so reminded Amur of that muggle game....Marius? Marion? Mario! After the character ate the mushroom he made that weird woop-woop-woop noise and got bigger than he was before.

Yeah. That. That was her dragon.

At least, he hadn't exploded?

Letting out a steady breath, Amur brought her wand up and paused, listening to the next instructions. Oooh boy this sounded like fun! And she really didn't want to be left on the ground.

Concentrate. Concentrate.

Bigger. A bit bigger. She moved her wand again and cast. "Engorgio."

This time, Rocky Felix grew. Steadily and proportionally, until he was about the size of a small pony. Looking mightily pleased with himself, he unfurled his wings, each which were about twice the length of his body. Oh yeah those were flying wings!

A gurgle of pleasure came from the dragon as it hopped from one set of feet to the other, its neck twisting this way and that as it looked up at the hoops. Amur knew that it knew. Did dragons understand English then? Weird.

Scurrying up to the creature, Amur took a moment to admire it. Despite it being created from stone, it took her breath away. Scales, warmth, breathing, the tremor of muscles. Magic. It really was true magic.

Giving a pat to the side of Rocky's neck, as scratching didn't seem applicable given the scales, Amur clambered up onto the crook of its neck and shoulders. Almost like mounting a horse, except that he was a bit higher off the ground. It involved some hanging from his spines, wiggling and trying to ask the creature to squat a bit before she was up and ready to go. Oh boy oh boy oh boy.

What was the right word for this? Up? Mush? Skyward? Tally-ho?

They were going to fly on there dragons? Actually flying? Penelope did not like the sound of this. Not only was she somewhat afraid of heights, she was also quite accident prone, especially during risky class activities. She rarely made it through any of Professor Flamsteed's activities without getting hurt. Penelope had always thought that if she got seriously hurt in class it would be in astronomy class, but no, she was going to fall off a dragon or something here, far away from Professor Flamsteed and his astronomy class. Enlarging the dragon she could do, but it was unlikely that she would fly on it.

Enlarging the dragon was something that she could do. It was probably not something that she could hurt herself doing. She took the dragon out of the cage. Moving her wand in an incomplete clockwise circle, Penelope said the incantation. "Engorgio." Penelope watched as her dragon grew bigger. Now her dragon was the right size to fly through the hoops, but she wasn't planning on flying the dragon through the hoops. "If we don't want to fly the dragon through the hoops, can we practice the spell on something else?" There were ways to practice the spell that did not involve flying on dragons.

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

Adi had noooo clue what was going on in Quigley's head. Obviously not but he didn't dwell longer on the man. Why? AJ's reply of course. His eyes darted to her. Was it bad that he wanted to laugh at the question? She did remember this was his favourite class, right? So there would be no skipping this lesson for him. "You don't want to do that. I know more than anyone you want to fly that dragon.'' She was AJ, after all. He knew her ways.
....................

"Sure you don't.''
Adi pretended to sulk. "I don't see any other master around here. Do you?" His grin was back but the Charms man was speaking again. This time there were instructions to get on with the flying and what they must do for the activity. YES! THE MOMENT HAD ARRIVED! "Going to beat you this time too, AJ.'' With a smile, he shuffled back to Toothless.

"Okay, buddy,'' the fifth year told his dragon as he patted its head. "We've just got to make it through those hoops. Shouldn't be anything too difficult, right?'' Nah. He and this dragon were going to make the perfect team!

"Just going to climb aboard the Dragon Express now.'' Carefully as he could, Adi climbed onto Toothless's area by the neck and shoulders, his feet dangling on either side. Well then! That was easy seeing as the dragon had already been in a position that allowed Adi to climb up easily.

"Ready?" Yes! The dragon was ready! It lumbered to its feet making Adi reach quickly to hold on tight lest he tumbled off. It wasn't like he would have far to go to reach the ground though. Toothless stretched his wings and a second later, started flapping them...

...annnnnd we have lift off! "Head for the nearest hoop!'' Adi shouted just bit to be heard over the flapping wings and the rush of the wind.

Shoot. They were moving on and Toby's dragon was still way too small to fly with him on it. At least without tiring it out or risking some sort of... engine malfunction. Soooooo he'd be there in just a sec, after he did this spell again.

Right now, just about the only thing that Tobias could drum up an emotion about right now was this dragon. More specifically, worry for the dragon, and hope that he wouldn't... explode it. So he was still cautious when he tried the spell again, not wanting to make the dragon TOO big, but also needing to get it to the right size for both of their sakes. Unless he sat out the activity (tempting even though flying was his favourite thing and creatures a close second, given he wasn't really feeling it, but not something he was about to put forward to either professor, to be honest).

"Engorgio," Toby said again, still holding his wand up, which he now moved in exactly the way he had a few moments ago, making that incomplete clockwise circle. The Hufflepuff focused hard on bringing the dragon up to the right size, keeping a careful eye out to make sure it wasn't about to get too big. Still concentrating on that, he took a couple small steps back to make room for the growing dragon.

It was about 7 feet long when Toby stopped the spell, plenty big enough to fly him around. He smiled at last, and reached out a hand to pat its head, all the while reminding himself not to get too attached, and all the while failing in this totally and absolutely.

Okay. Now he was ready.

"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.
Her eyes darted to the younger girl, a Gryffindor one, and Dot tried to gauge if she was being mocked or the girl was genuinely being helpful. Helpfulness was appreciated, but mockery was NOT. Dot stood and lifted her cage up so that the girl could see her little sleepy dragon.

"I'm calling him Lazybones, and you're willing to fail because you're a Gryffindor and you care more about the process. I'm a Slytherin, so I care about not exploding my dragon and about not looking stupid. I care about the product." So all that to say that motivational stories about stolen cars wouldn't work on her.

"Thanks, but the professor is going to say no. He's very bossy. Doesn't get enough fiber."

Unless she meant there was something else that wasn't safe in which case he'd be forced to agree by virtue of the fact he did many unsafe things in any one day.

"And with the right focus the dragon won't go exploding. Have some confidence in yourself. I'm positive you'll do as well as those who've already succeeded. It's not a tremendously difficult spell, it simply requires focus." So would she give it a try?
Sigh. She KNEW he'd say that. Dot pulled her little dragon out of his cage, all curled up in her hand, and held him up for Q-prof to see. Precious lil thing, and he was HERS. "I'll give it a try because you're the boss, but if he explodes, I'm going to definitely need you to replace my dragon and also turn into a cat to console me because my heart will be broken." Just so he knew what their deal was.

Dot turned her back on the professor so he couldn't watch her as she set the dragon on the ground and prepared to cast the spell. "You won't explode, but you are gonna have to wake up and actually fly. Dunno why you're so... maybe you were a sedimentary rock. Sedentary sedimentary dragon. Wake up, okay? Engorgio!"

Her dragon didn't explode, thankfully, and very soon, Dot had a medium sized Hebridean Black snoring away at her feet. "Lazyboooooones." She poked him with her wand.

Oh, how we drift away from our friends. And the ones back home play remember when

Cilla gulped as she prepared to hop onto Ava's back. Luckily for Cilla, the dragon could sense her nervousness so she made it easy for Cilla to mount her. It took a couple of attempts but soon Cilla was on Ava's back, her arms gently around her neck.

"Okay, Ava...see those hoops over there? Well, I need you to fly through them," Cilla said to the dragon, shakily.

The Common Welsh Green gave a grunt as if it was asking how they were going to fit through the currently small hoops.

"When we get closer to them, I'll use the Enlargement Charm," Cilla replied.

Settling comfortably on her dragon's back, Amur glanced down at the older girl. She leaned forward, enough to peer into the cage and see the sleepy little dragon. Cute.

Wait...Lazybones? Okay, not a cute name really, but she could sympathize. Although, those words...

"I never said anything about failing. Who said anything about failing?" And failing was a Gryffindor thing? That didn't sound good. Amur pulled back a little, trying to process the older girl's words. "I do care about how I get somewhere....but I also cared about not blowing up my dragon." Wasn't that part of the process? And her dragon wasn't exploded, see? So far no failure.

"But I suppose you're right. I don't care about looking stupid. I find it's a waste of time and energy to care about something so subjective and biased." After all, one person's stupid was another person's genius. "If you worry about looking stupid all the time, how are you supposed to actually enjoy what you are doing? How are you supposed to have fun?" Like flying dragons. Common, didn't this girl want to fly?

Maybe her social circle had high expectations of her, so she had to care about how she looked when she did things? That was possible. Amur decided she shouldn't judge. After all, the girl was partially right. They were in different houses. They thought differently. Still....she needed to relax a little. Let loose. Drive a convertible or fly a dragon.

But alas, no partner flying. She shrugged. The Professors rules were the Professors rules. But, not enough fibre? Amur snorted a little at that, covering her mouth with one hand. Alright, so the girl wasn't a complete stickler.

She watched as she set to the task of enlarging her dragon. Really, she wasn't sure what the Slytherin had been so worried about. Her dragon enlarged rather seamlessly. For that, she got a round of applause from Amur. See? Process.

Alright it was time to fly! Before the teacher said anything, he did think about flying off towards the castle to explore. Maybe find Ophelia and pick her up and they could fly over the lake. But then the professor told them that anyone who flew off on their own course would be punished. Punishment didn't matter too much to Austin, he did clean and polish every suit of armor on the second floor. But it was the thought of losing Thrasher. Sure, he knew that they would probably have to turn his beloved dragon back to a stone later. But he wasn't quite ready for that yet. So he chose to stay the path.

"You ready buddy?" Austin patted his friend's neck, to signal that he was ready. By now the Ravenclaw knew that his friend would listen to him, so there was no need to feel worried. Yet the worry still came as Thrasher flapped his wings and rose to the sky. "Just get level with the hoops!" He called out. There were a few people in the air, but not enough for there to be a dragon jam. So he leaned towards an empty set of hoops, and his dragon followed.

He had done a splendid job, hadn't he? None of the other kids had made it up there not that they had tried but still.

TEN GALLEONS! Mwahahaha. "Thanks Professor, you rock." He said as he was slowly and much more delicately lowered to the ground. Zeke had already clapped him on the back and the third year was walking on air. "Thanks man," he slapped Zeke on the back as well. "I'll buy you something at Hogsmeade this weekend since you believed in me and stuff." Zeke was a bro.
Seriously, had he known he was allowed to make money from betting with Professor's, he would have had a very different first year, and a far more lucrative second... nevertheless, there was still time for that. Good things to know. Good things to know.

Ezra's offer was heaps generous, since he did NOTHING aside from cheer him on... and he might have been cheering him on simply for the fun of watching someone make a fool of themselves, but HE was the fool here. "Nah man, you earned it, unless... I 'spose I could go a butterbeer?" He'd accept one of those. Yep. Hehehehe.


SPOILER!!: Profffff Q.

Their time was drawing to a close and there were those who'd completed the task and deserved a ride before he had to end the lesson.

"Now that you have your dragons at a decent size to be ridden, it's time to mount them," if they hadn't already, "and get flying. The hoops are placed in something like a circle and you will each need to complete at least one lap without missing any hoops. Naturally to fly through them you'll have to make them bigger first so, no, your dragon cannot do the mini course without you." In case there had been others outside of Miss Carrington that had been wondering.

"You don't have to participate, but if you don't you're likely to sit here on the ground with me and watch the others getting a better handle on the spell." Not an ultimatum, simply a fact considering he didn't have an alternate plan.

"Before you take off, let me make this clear, you are to fly your dragons through the hoops and NOT off on your own path. I don't want to see any dragon fights either. No funny business. These dragons are under your command as is the nature of the spell so you will be held accountable for your dragon's actions and I won't hesitate to turn your dragon back to stone and levicorpus you back to the ground." Were they clear on that? He could repeat for those who were too awe struck by the dragons to pay much attention.

"The course has a few hoops at each location so I don't expect to see a bunch of students rushing the same hoop when there are two or three others floating next to it. Also," for the lazier bunch among them, "the hoops are charmed to shrink after someone has flown through so everyone will have to make their own way." Fun, yes? "So if there are no more questions, have at it." He would be staying RIGHT HERE on solid ground thank you very much.


Final activity! Thanks for sticking around guys <3 So like Maddox said, the students will have to use the spell to make the hoops big enough for them to fly through them in order to make a lap. Remember that the spell puts the dragons under the characters control so there shouldn't be anything out of control unless the charries orchestrated that themselves. You'll need 4-5 posts and have until Friday at maybe 7 pm GMT -5 to get this done. I do take catch ups so if you haven't made your dragon bigger yet and would like to, go right ahead but label appropriately so I can tell the difference.


And it was GO time!

Since he was already mounted he didn't need to bother with that, and instinctively - as soon as they were given the all clear - Zeke tapped his heels into the dragon's sides and ZZZZZVVRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSHHH! Off they went! "Whhooooooooaaaaaaa-hooooooooo!!!!"

The acceleration was like NOTHING he could have possibly imagined. The dragon beneath him - despite being from a rock - felt like the most amazing thing. It felt REAL... and he supposed it was? Like.. magic made miracles, right? The beast was sheer power beneath him, and the wing was whipping his fringe RIGHT BACK, and a hoop was coming at him... or well, THEY were going at the hoop.

Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! .......

Zeke raised his wand, composing himself and focusing on the hoop itself, visualising the thing getting big enough for them to be able to glide right through.

"Engorgio!" he cast, his wand forming an incomplete clockwise circle in the air in front of him, aimed at the hoop.
