Ashlee nodded. "Yeah, I can see it." She tried to hide the sadness that held the secret to why. AJ gently pressed down on Professor Ethelion's shoulder and swung her leg over the Thestral. She let out a sigh and smiled. "Almost like getting on a horse."

"Yes... exactly"
He placed Angelo on her lap gently. Angelo looked into her face, and gently licked her hand.
"Now that you're settled, my turn to get on."
Taking back a step, Professor Ethelion flipped himself onto the horse behind his student. He reached one hand for the mane of the horse, while the other steadied all three of them.
"Ready? Too late."
With that, Ethelion gave the thestral a pat, and it spread its leathery wings and after a quick run, glided into the air.

Ashlee giggled as the Thestral glided up. She held onto Angelo with one arm while the other one was gently rubbing the thestral's neck. AJ closed her eyes as the wind blew thru her hair and smiled.

One hand on the mane of the thestral, his head next to hers as he guided the thestral, he saw her smile.
With his other hand, he reached around her waist to brace her, as without warning, he folded the mane left. The thestral swooshed downward left, checked itself and gracefully looped back to a higher altitude all according to his hand signals and in just over ten seconds. Prof. Ethelion said, "Let's see if you enjoy real flying" as the thestral leveled out.

Out of surprise from the Thestral's movements, Ashlee grabbed onto the hand that was around her. She giggled and gently released the professor's hand as the thestral leveled out. "I enjoy flying all together Professor."

"Good," replied Prof Ethelion as he proceeded to guide the thestral.
During the next series of moments, the thestral dived, swerved, dipped, soared, looped left and right. It played with the winds and the air columns and Angelo barked with fright when all of a sudden, the thestral dived until mere inches above the ground before giving a tremendous pull with its wings and lifted its passengers back into the sky.

As soon as the thestral dived Ashlee closed her eyes, turned her head, and burried her face into the professor's chest. Her body tensed up and she held back a scream. When she felt the body of her carrier glide back up she relaxed and let out a sigh. AJ faced forward and laughed at herself for her childish reaction.

"Well, it's obvious that your mind is occupied... care to talk about it?" asked Professor Ethelion as he guided the thestral in a lazy slow figure eight course around the sky high above the forest.

Ashlee looked at him, a slight look of fear in her eyes. "I-I don't know what you're talking bout Professor." She turned pink and faced foward again. She looked down and softly scratched Angelo.

"Ah well, that's just as well, I suppose. How does this compare with Quidditch flying? Think I would make the cut if I were to apply for a position on your team?" asked Prof. Ethelion laughing.

Ashlee giggled and nodded. "You sure would Professor." she stared out infront of her and sighed. "Professor?" she paused for a moment. "Did you ever feel something for someone, but didn't know how to explain it or tell them?" she hoped it didn't sound too obvious or make him question her further. Ashlee continued to pet Angelo.

"Well... yes. But the only way to get it out is to try and get the mesage across, no?" replied Prof. Ethelion.
He glanced at her, and then his eyes snapped back to guiding the thestral on its flight as he waited for her to respond, or not. A breeze blew by and lifted her hair flying straight back.

Ashlee thought to herself for a moment. maybe I should just tell him. She looked at him, thought of what she should say then looked away again. Why can't I just say it? she thought. She put a smile on her face. He didn't exactly say anthing bout telling them, only giving them the message. she looked at him again and gently kissed his cheek and faced forward. She started twirling her hair and thinking of how he'll react.

Prof. Ethelion tried to keep his features as calm as possible. "I see," he said. He let the thestral have its own way.
"well... that's ... interesting..."
He gently pulled her into him with his arm about her waist. Meanwhile Angelo looked at him and then at her, and made his laughing motion.
"Angelo!" reprimanded Prof. Ethelion.
Recovering himself, he smiled at Ashlee. A moment passed. He reached up with his free hand and tucked a stray strand of hair back behind her ear.

Ashlee giggled at Angelo and patted his head gently. She relaxed against the professor and closed her eyes, listening to the whispers and murmurs of the wind and trees.
