Chapter 34

�It�s freezing. Will it have any adverse affects on Riley if I use a warming charm on us?�
�No he�ll be fine. But only warm yourself Severus, I put mine on before we set off.�
�Marvellous, you could have told me sooner.� Severus grumbled.
They did not converse much on the long journey up to Scotland. Severus for one was tired, cold, even with the benefit of numerous warming charms, he was hungry, and utterly bored. To cap it all he ached in the most embarrassing places, sitting astride something the size of Riley for such a long period of time made him feel as though he was committing genital suicide. They had been in the air for three hours already.

�How much longer?� He griped.
�Couple of hours, are you alright?�
�No I am not. We should have just apparated back to Hogwarts.�
�If you want we can go down and you can apparate.� Paula offered. She knew Severus was not used to the outdoor life and as such he was not acclimatized to the constant cold along with hours in the saddle. Especially bareback as they were.
�I am so cold I would most likely splinch. Can Riley go any faster?�

�He can go much faster, but it would be much colder and narky.�
�Narky?�

�Risky. You might fall off.�
�Oh! What about a sticking spell? I can thaw when we arrive.�

Paula laughed. �A sticking spell should work. Make it a strong one.�
�Severus applied the strongest sticking charm he knew then wriggled a bit to see if he was secure.
Paula twisted in her seat and gave him a mighty heave.
�Argh! What the hell are you trying to do?� Severus bellowed once he realised he was still seated. She�d scared the living daylights out of him when she shoved him like that.
�Just making sure you wont slip off.�

�And what if I had? I would be dead by now you idiot.� His heart felt ready to pound through his ribs.
�No you wouldn�t. Riley would have caught you. Ready?�
�For what?� He asked gruffly, forgetting all about why he was sticking himself down in the first place.
�This.� She shouted and leaned forward to say something to Riley.
Severus was flung backwards as Riley suddenly rocketed forward.
Paula whooped loudly as Severus laid with his head and shoulders on Riley�s rump, arms flailing wildly at his sides, trying desperately to find something to grasp and knowing that any second now he would fall to his death.
�Isn�t this the most wondrfu � Severus, where are you? Oh.�
Paula sucked hard on her lips to prevent herself from laughing when she realised the predicament Severus was in.

�Grab my hand.� She called, reaching toward him with one hand, her other wrapped tightly in Riley�s mane.
Severus managed to grab it on the third attempt and she pulled him back into a sitting position.
As soon as he was able, Severus pressed her forward with his upper body so he could reach round her and grip onto Riley�s mane himself.

�Of all the bloody, stupid, brainless, ludicrous ideas ever to come about, this has to be the most ��

�Exciting, thrilling, stimulating, fantastic ride of your life. Severus just enjoy it, there are not many things in life that are as intoxicating as flying full speed with Riley. And can you ease up a bit, I am not used to riding on my belly.�
Even in his foul mood, Severus could not help but think that he would love to take her for a ride on her belly. He did not ease up in the slightest.
Half an hour later they were back at Hogwarts and Riley was cantering across the grounds. He stopped outside Paula�s wagon, waited until Paula slid off and Severus half slid, half fell off, then he made his way over to Hagrid�s for a feed and a rub down in the stables.
�Remind me never to accept a ride from you again, at least not on Riley. Goodnight Paula.�

She pressed a hand to her mouth, watching him walk back to the castle with a peculiar gait.
She shut herself in the vurdon before giving in to rip roaring laughter.
Severus ran himself a bath, making sure to add a double measure of muscle ease potion to it and climbed in slowly. The relief was almost immediate and he sighed with blissful contentment as his aches left him and the water warmed him up.
�I really will have to stop letting that woman get me into situations that my body is just not adaptable to. Why do I let her persuade me to do such outrageous things? Why do I let her talk me into doing any of the things I would not normally do?�
A good soak, a bite of supper and two good shots of fire whiskey later and Severus had decided that the ride was not all bad. It was certainly an experience, it was not everyday one got to ride on a Riley. Climbing into bed, he remembered how good she felt beneath him as he pressed against her on the last leg of the ride. He was asleep before his head hit the pillow.
A week later Paula received a letter at the breakfast table.

�Another Ministry letter, now what are they complaining about?�

�Hopefully nothing, if this is what I think it is.�
She pulled a small slip of parchment from the envelope. On it was one word, written in large capital letters.

ARVAH (Yes)

�Yes.� Paula said softly, though she was unable to hide her excitement.

She pulled a further piece of parchment from the envelope, opened it and studied it for a moment or two. Having no idea what it said, but being satisfied that it was what she wanted, Paul slipped it into her pocket and continued with her breakfast.
�Well. Are you going to enlighten me?�

�Not yet, I cant read the document. When I have, I�ll tell you.� She whispered.
�I could read it for you.� He said optimistically.
�Nai. I will tell you when I have nevo.� �News.�
Severus was annoyed at having to sit through morning classes without knowing what Paula was up to. She�d left the hall before he finished eating and headed to her vurdon to use the reading charm. By the time she reappeared, he was on his way to class and did not have time to ask her about it again.
When they did eventually meet after lunch, Paula told him he would find out that weekend. She cleaned her site and walked with him back to the castle.
�Why can you not tell me now?�
�It is better you see when the time comes, besides, first I must speak with kak and make sure the students will be available. Is there a quiddich game this weekend?�

�No, there is not. Which students in particular?�
�The ones we spoke of when you sat in on my classes.�
�Well done Paula. I admit I had my doubts as to whether or not you could persuade the Minister, I am glad to be proven wrong.�
I was a little unsure myself kak, I hoped to hear from him before now. I will begin training them this weekend, there is an area in the wavver that will be ideal for it, well away from prying eyes. Will you speak to the centaurs for me? So far they have left me alone, but I do not think they will be happy about me encroaching on their territory when I will be teaching dark magic.�
