Drew blushed bright red at Tamsin's praise and hug. "Aw...thanks, Tams," he said, shyly ducking his head.
"Yeah but your's is way cooler. Plus you can fly, dude. You're bad arse man, bad arse."
"Butterflies can fly too," Drew reminded Magnus with a smile. "Both of yours are cool in their own way and have good points."
((haha Drew's not gonna convince him it cool. He loathes it and what it means. That is so girly and is more deep meaning than a lot of patronuses. Literally everything Drew said about it are things he hates about it lmao.))
"I 'ate it. Don't matter what anyone says I 'ate it. And I wouldn't wanna turn into one for sure. And it don't do me any good anyway cos every time I've tried to do the spell with a fake dementor around I can't."
Merlin couldn't stop laughing, Drew was right butterflies could fly too, just not as fast as a dragon, but they could definitely fly. "I love being a dragon, even if I can't fit into small places because I want to be out in the open sky. Feeling the wind against your face, the rain or the mist is simply the most wonderful thing. Plus you can look at the world from a different perspective and hang out with dragons...well hopefully they won't attack you."
Merlin grins. "Yes I can, it is pretty scary thou. Worse is, sometimes I cough smoke especially if I somehow lost control of my anger - you saw it in the woods. Lee petrified me."
"Yeah, I saw that. Knew what you were turning into as well. Wasn't me secret to tell though. But man that's sooooo freaking cool."
"It is cool, but first time I was coughing smoke I was scared! Also first time I breathe fire I had a sore throat for a week, but not anymore. I don't like doing it much because I don't have good control of it and can burn things I don't want to..but I'm practicing."
((lol that's okay, Drew's just awed by it period. He's good with Mags hating it...just thinks it's cool to be able to do it))
Drew shook his head at Magnus' rejection of his patronus and then grinned and nudged his friend. "Hate it all you want at least you can do one, even if it is when you're not threatened. If I even do one, mine will probably be a snail or something."
He looked over at Merlin and said, "Yeah, that was a bit scary when you coughed out smoke. But once you started changing...well...I wanted to see you transform. And it was amazing when you did!"
((I need to call it night, guys. Haven't been getting enough sleep lately...I wonder why?!))
(Sleep well you twoo Night) "I'm sure you can practice at the dragon farm cos theres lots o' clear space and all."
"Nah, you'd probly be a 'orse of some kind... I mean you're a thestral whisperer after all. And there's loads of things I can't do."
Drew couldn't help but smile. He loved the term thestral whisperer even though he was sure some people would find it creepy. "You think so?" he commented. "I really hope it turns out to be some kind of horse. That would be so cool." He smiled at Magnus, Merlin, and Tamsin. "I've been a horse lover all my life and it's just natural to me to talk to them...and even understand them to a certain extent. Without this little adventure I never would have known that it would work with any sort of equine being."
"Why not?" he asked, "you can set up with the ministry and try ta see about becoming an animagus. To be 'onest I aven't been around many 'orses or orse like creatures."
Merlin smiled at Drew. "You know I was very scared you may all be scared of me and reject me. I guess I was a fool." He then nods to Magnus. "Yeah, I hope I can practice there, are we allowed to transform outside school? It's still magic. Stupid rules." He pouts.
Merlin listened to Magnus call Drew a thestral whisperer and thought it was a really cool nickname. "You may turn into a kind of horse, look at me I've been in love with dragons since I'm a baby and I transformed into one!"
Tamsin hated to interrupt them but she had to. "Merls, we didn't come this way when we left."
"It is easier to go up this other way, even when it is a bit more walking." Tamsin rolled her eyes. "It's like ten minutes from the castle now, stop being so dramatic. We are all tired and we are almost there!"
"I'll see who is dramatic when we finally arrive and get some real food."
"I'm not hungry now, I ate a bit remember?"
"Right...." Tamsin looked at the Paul balloon and the remaining students and nods. "Almost there guys, hang on."
"I'm gonna miss you Tams," Magnus said. He followed her gaze to Paul. "I'll go to the owlery and send 'is wife a note..." She said he was just sleeping after all...her gaze was just probably genuine concern despite knowing he was fine.
Tamsin looks at Magnus. "I will appreciate that, I really don't know her so it would be better if it comes from a friend." She then sighs. "After we arrive and take all those in need to the hospital wing, I must report to the headmistress and go - if she doesn't kill me before I can." She laughs. "I would like to say goodbye to you guys before I take off, if that's ok."
"Yeah, i can do that and meet you, er somewhere? I ope she isnt mad at you?"
Tamsin looked at Magnus, Merlin, and Drew and said. "I would love you all to go."
Merlin shook his head. "Why would I say goodbye? We will meet in Hogsmade soon, right? You promised us butterbeer. So I will say, till next time."
"Exactly, till next time. I will owl you three to plan our meeting." She smiled, the castle lights were at sight and soon they will all be safe inside the castle. "I missed this view, there is no place like Hogwarts... I think everyone miss it forever."
