((I don't think I need to say I do too, right? lol))

"I guess you are right, I don't want to be famous like Potter, just a great wizard." He looks to where Eros was and Leo. "Well I am more worried than excited because I don't know, maybe when I know I'll be excited." He smiles. "I'm not crazy about surprises."

((you do? :o -gasps- haha))

"I don't wanna be famous either. But a great wizard isn't bad. Good goal actually. I'm still worried I won't be able ta be a 'ealer." Magnus smiled, "I'm sure it'll be challenging and that appeals to me. Whatever 'e 'as cooked up 'as to be epic."

Merlin smiles as he listens to Magnus dream. "I'm sure you can be anything you want, you like helping people so a healer seems a great job for you." Merlin nods, it surely will be epic, and hopefully not an epic failure. "Hopefully I will learn something more."

"What if they don't want me cos o' me condition? Or what if I don't like it? What if its too 'ard ta see others 'urting? I've 'eard some muggle type healers don't last cos they cant stand seeing what they see." He sighed voicing the doubts that he'd thought of. "Mum thinks I should go after art or plants or potions." The feature's in the Eros' drawing started taking shape, making it look more like the person he glanced at every so often. "Whatdda wanna do?

"How can you know if you like it or not if you don't try it? I don't think your condition is reason to deny you on the contrary you can know how to treat those like you and hey who knows you may come up with a new cure or something that would work even better than wolfsbane. But it's not up to your mom or dad but to you. So don't give up without trying." Merlin was thoughtful after the question. "Well I would like to work when mom does but not forever since there is so much I want to try. I want to work with magical creatures but I also want to specialize in potions and create spells. Sounds strange since the two don't mix, and I'm also inclined to be an auror. I'm not sure yet, seriously before I came to Hogwarts I only wanted to work with dragons and even when I still do, I also want more things. Do you think it's silly?"

"Yeah, I wanna do it, but I can't 'elp worrying about it at the same time. I ain't giving up, I mean I've got top grades in most o' the classes that I need for being a 'ealer. I can't 'elp worrying all the same. Cos you know...conditions still aren't easy for a werewolf and the ministry knows I'm one." He shrugged, "I think Mum wants me to 'ave a backup, which I guess ain't a bad idea..." He shook his head to Merlin, "I don't think that's silly at all and I don't see 'ow you cant do all o' it. Maybe do the auror for awhile and then switch or something. You could easily talk to Tamsin or Paul about it and I'd say they are both great wizards."

((ooc: another long post, sorry :P))

[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/KTKugF2.png[/img] Eros was sitting alone on the grass with a ham, cheese, and egg sandwich in his hands. He had taken a bit and just stared at his sandwich, not really paying attention to what anyone else was doing. One hand left his sandwich as reached his cheek, but stopped short of touching it. He let his hand fall and continued eating his breakfast, eyes just fixed ahead of him, a stoic look.

[img align=right]http://i.imgur.com/1Q424Wm.png[/img] Meanwhile, Leo was at the edge of the pitch, looking at the current course in the air. "Pft, amateurs," Leo shook his head and pulled out a wand. He waved it and several rings descended to the ground. However, from his backpack, a few small rings shot out and into the sky. They were small at first but gradually expanded in size as they ascended in altitude. While they generally had the same appearance as the previous rings, there was something else to them. The center of these rings radiated and shimmered with auras of blue and red. It appeared to be some kind of force field.

The young man then hopped onto his broom and flew into the air and pointed his wand towards the ground. From it, four rings of increasing size and of a chalky white substance blasted to the muddy ground, creating a giant bullseye target. Leo then turned his attention back to the course, to make sure all the rings were in the proper place. He then flew down lower to the ground towards where the other were sitting.

"Behold, your final course. So you may wonder, why am I here? Well, ya see, I am here to demonstrate a trick that not even Mister Eros has mastered. Prominently used by Seekers, but very useful to shake off anything on your tail. Wronski Feint. Timing is super important for this maneuver to work. As I said, it's normally used by Seekers, not that many has ever tried. Basically, they would pretend to dive after a Snitch, thus making the opponent do into a dive too, but just before hitting the ground, they pull out of the dive, and hopefully, causing the other seeker to crash." Leo paused with and looked around at the group. "Now, we're not all Seekers, but I think the idea can apply too when avoiding bludgers. And this, my friends, will be your next challenge."

Leo landed on the ground and pulled out a box from his backpack. Once again, it started out as a small box but as soon as he placed it on the ground, it grew into a larger box. The golden-haired man opened it to reveal two bludgers chained down, a red and a blue. The inventor unchained them and they both shot into the air. In the box were also two cuff bracelets. One with a ruby gem attached to it and the other one with a sapphire gem.

"The objective in this course is quite easy. Get to the end and have your bludger hit the target on the ground. You'll be going in pairs. Do note, two of the rings are not passable unless you trick the bludger through it first." Leo picked up and the two bracelets and held them up for the students to see. "Each of person in the pair will wear one to these. You will either have a ruby or a sapphire. If you have a ruby gem, the red bludger will be going after you. Trick it through the ring and the red shield will deactivate and you'll be able to pass through if you are wearing the bracelet with the ruby gem. Blue shield will not affect you. Same logic for sapphire and blue shield. Now, once you get to the end of the course, you need to dive down and force the bludger to crash into the target on the ground. Brownie points if you get a bullseye. Remember, timing is important, Pull out of the dive too soon and the bludger will recover before it crashes. Pull out too late and you'll crash since you don't have enough time to turn out. And now, for a quick demo," Leo grinned. He placed the the ruby bracelet back down into the box and got on his broom. The man attached the sapphire bracelet around his wrist and waved at the group.

He flew up into the air and once he was high up, he started diving down at a fast velocity in a perfect vertical line. Behind him, the blue bludger fell after him. He cut through the air with the help of gravity. However, with less than a dozen meters left, the man a sudden curve. The bludger, with no time to slow down, hit the mud with a loud splash in the dead center of the target.

"And that's Wronski Feint, folks," Leo said as he flew back to the ground and hopped off his broom. He removed his bracelet and set it down in the box. "I almost forgot. If your broom hits one of those shield-protected rings before the bludger does, it will decommission your broom for 10 seconds...which means you'll fall. Into mud. Just so you know," he grinned.

Magnus' jaw dropped. The final challenge was indeed epic. A wicked grin crossed the boy's face. "Excellent." Hadn't he just done the faint? True he was more often enjoyed being a chaser but he had learnt other tricks. He'd be going against Eros in the course too.

"No, this was made by my auntie," Paddy replied to Magnus (), "it comes in handy to have wrap some chocolate in, so it doesn't all go mushy in my pocket." As Leo made the changes to the course, Paddy stared in amazement - she'd not been able to complete the previous course without getting her flag taken, so how was she going to complete this one while being tailed by a bludger? And to add in the Wronski Feint as well??

Magnus was looking excited to give the course a try, so Paddy hoped she could pick up some pointers if he was flying first.

"Its really nice," he said sincerely. Magnus noticed Paddy's awe at the course and mistook it. "Brilliant ain't it?"

Paddy laughed at Magnus' eagerness, "brilliantly scary, especially if you've never experienced a bludger heading your way before" she replied, "I'd like to see you and Eros tackle that before I'm brave enough to try!"

The boy gave her a crooked smile and clamped his hand on her shoulder. "You'll be fine. 'Sides, if you do get injured at least is the last course so you won't miss anything whilst in the 'ospital wing recovering." He'd said it so calmly and meant it to be reassuring.

"That really makes me feel better," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm, "as if we haven't seen enough of the hospital wing each month as it is."

Okay, put it that way and she did have a point. Though he got to visit the dungeons. "Sorry, it sounded comforting ta me. But don't worry, I know you can do it."

((OOC: I'm extremely tired today, so I'm not sure how much I can post.))

Merlin listened to the new instructions and looked at the course, then said. "I'm just glad I didn't eat the breakfast!" He grins. "Looks like something I would try, so its cool. Still I would like to see the entire course and 'fall' flied by one of the experts first just to make sure I understood."

[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/KTKugF2.png[/img] Eros got up off the grass and took a couple steps forward. This was his first time seeing the course, too, since left the final course entirely up to the guest. Eros studied it for a moment before grabbing his broom. Wronski Feint, to him, was a game of chicken. It definitely was a test of bravery. He close did he dare to get to the ground before turning out of the dive? Only one way to find out. Eros looked to Magnus () and called to him. "So, I think you promised you a challenge?," he smirked. "Ready to give this a go?," he asked as he mounted his broom.

((ooc: no worries, take it easy! ))

((feel better <3))

"Totally. Shall we wager a bet then?" he asked as he mounted his broom and put his goggles back on his face.

[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/KTKugF2.png[/img] Eros hadn't thought of a wager. He already lost on bet today, he wasn't too sure about making another. However, the sixteen year old nodded. "Sure," Eros nodded. "Kavanagh won the last bet with me, but I'm still keen on attending that Harpies' practice. So I want put that back on the table if I win. And if you win...I don't know. What do you want?," Eros asked as he positioned himself in the air at the start of the course with his broom.

Happily Fade picked a few items and made himself a small plate before returning to the stands to sit, eat, and watch. The demonstration Mr. Lionheart gave them was inspirational, if not a bit intimidating. Of course Fade had read about the move, but reading and seeing were very different from being the one to attempt it. However, he was still feeling a need for speed. Perhaps this last challenge would quench his thirst.

He clapped as Magnus () and Eros () got ready to give it a go. "Good luck!"

Magnus smiled. "Deal." What did he want? Well it was better odds now but still the 12 year old wasn't sure he could win. "If I win, er...you 'ave to practice with me and me friends twice a week for a month during term." He nodded to his friend, "Thanks. I'll do me best."
