As a listener, Icarus was hanging from her words, nodding and blinking at the parts that were explaining a lot about her character. "That explains a lot." he finally said with a smile about her childhood. He felt as he had made her reveal things about herself that she wouldn't really say to anyone that she had just met. "Wow and I though I was the adventurous here. That makes my childhood and my journey sound minimal." he continued, recognising now the source of her wilderness. He couldn't help but think of her biological family, who could be and why they had to leave her in the end. Now that he had finally spread his wings as an adult, he had that appetite for adventures as well the time to dedicate to that. As she was talking more and more about her childhood, his curiosity was like a huge ball of fire, increasing more and more in size. He decided however, not to refer anymore to that subject for now and focus on the topic that had won her interest. "Honestly I can't remember how many times I used that curse. I was panicked and in the end I made the things worse. Just imagine half of those heads spitting fire and half of them spitting ice." he said as he was either way bad at calculations and maths but he had indeed back then blacked out not say knocked out. "Chimera is really fierce but if you know that you have first to confront the serpent tale, then the lion and last the goat then you have an advantage. Still both the lion and the goat heads are flamethrowers of great range and depending the animals left its stance and the way it attacks change llike human changing their strategy." he revealed in the end. "I'm quite sure though you won't face creatures like that here so don't worry." he wasn't sure whether she would be worried or disappointed as he would have felt some kind of disappointment if he was in her position. |

Briar was glad that Icarus listened as she explained herself without interrupting, just nodding in understanding. "I guess it does. it was great, i sometimes miss the forest, but i have over the years taken the running through the trees and focused that energy on flying." she chuckled after his comment. it certainly explained why she spent most of her time outside, and wasn't scared of the forrest. "I bet you have had some pretty exiting adventures too." she said winking at him. she was pretty sure that if they were to compare he may have had less, but they would probably be better. except for perhaps the night last summer, but that was just terrifying, to much so co be called an adventure, it was more of an emotional strength test. briar nodded she knew that sometimes pressure messed with your mind, and made you forget things. and remember irrelevant things. "that does sound scary. having both fire and ice shooting at you. how did you get away?" she asked a little awed. she had never faced anything that ferocious, and the werewolf somehow got scared, or it could have ended a lot nastier than it had. when he explained how to tackle the Chimera she nodded. she would remember that in case she ever had to meet one. "that does sound like quite a fight. shame i wont see one in the near future, but they sound impressive, maybe some time i will get to face one" she said she was pretty sure that she would be able to find one if she wanted to, but currently there was already one beastly creature in her life and that was enough, for now.

Icarus remained silent as he thought carefuly the girl's words. He instantly turned his eyes on the forbidden forest, located somewhere in the darkness of the distance. "I guess you would have been tempted several times to enter inside the forest here. I know it isn't the same like the one you were brought up but it must be giving you the same feeling." he said regretting the fact that he might just had advised her to visit the forbidden forest. "I came across some rainforests through india during my journey. Different form this one but mysteriously inviting as well." he admitted as he often had the urge to vanish behind the dark green curtain of this forest. The young professor shook his head several times and bit his lips as he had just remembered something that could have possibly cost his life. "I managed in the end to focus and remain calm. So I started cutting off each head. Some of them needed more than one tries to be decapitated as the dragon was swift and the new necks were thicker. As soon as they were cut off, before more were going to sprout, I used a fire spell to sear the severed parts of the necks. This prevented the growth of more heads and eventually the hydra passed out." he explained, realising quite early that he had described with too much details the fall of the dragon. "Sorry for being so descriptive." he rushed to say as his details were quite hideous and barbaric. "The hydra survived. It just had to wait 24 hours for its heads to regrow." he said, feeling quite bad for the creature. He left a short laughed as the girl wished to face one of those creatures in the future. "Okay. that's something you don't usually hear from a sixteen years old girl." he grinned as he was strking with his slender finger the cool grass around him. He liked its smell, it was a familiar and welcoming scent. "So miss Rowan, any other hobbies apart from quidditch and the appetite of facing deathly beasts?" he asked her. |

Briar blinked s Icarus said that she may have been tempted to enter the forest. "I have been tempted a few times, and may have been in it a couple of times" she said. in reality sue went in every other day or theres about, as she often ran around the grounds, and her usual path lead her into the forest. "rainforests in india, they sound like they will be full with all sorts of things, certainly different but just as interesting I would think" she said, before stifling back a yawn, she realised that it was indeed getting late and she had been up at five that morning burning off energy and going for a jog. she listened as he described how he had taken action against the hydra. "that sounds impressive" she said before he had time to apologise. "there is no need to apologise, I can stomach pretty tough stuff. not your typical girl, but i'm glad it survived, it would have been a shame for it to die purely for sport" she said, she had killed creatures before but it was for food, not sport and that was a big difference. "trust me I'm not your typical sixteen year old girl, I am far from normal" she said before yawning again. "other than quidditch and enjoying facing creatures, I enjoy sport, mainly runs around the grounds. there is not much else that i do, I have prefect duties and work and quidditch that take up at lot of time during the term, but in the holidays i usually go camping. How about you, what else do you enjoy doing?" she asked. a little while later she yawned again. "i think i need to get back to the castle. you are actually right professor it is getting late" she said standing up. "it was nice meeting you, I am sure i will see you down here some other time, and maybe it will be a little earlier." she said shouldering her broom and standing. before slowly heading off the pitch and towards the castle, she wondered if he would be heading to the castle too.

A smile melted on his face as the girl was stating that she wasn't the typical sixteen year old girl. The truth was that she was quite different and that had stolen Icarus' attention. Even her hobbies weren't the typical one for a girl of her age. Icarus loved camping and the outdoors but his last girlfriend didn't really enjoy it as she had an issue with insects. "Well apart from flying obviously, I have a passion for photography and for some reason I prefer muggles'. Other than that, I sometimes enjoy cooking, especially when I do it for someone else and of course surfing during summer." he answered her question promptly. The truth was that he had a variety of different muggle and wizard's cameras in his office and he was spending some of his free time by the cliff for some captions of the lake. He was not usually bothered to cook. Great hall was providing more than he could imagine and if he had to prepare something extra, that would be a chicken salad sandwich. However, when he had visitors or friends at his place, he was using the chef in him. About surfing, he had missed that sport as the sea was miles away both from his new home and Hogwarts. However, he had thought numerous times to create magically waves on the lake and ride a surf there. As he was thinking of all that, the girl had finally realised that it was indeed too late for her to be out. But by that time, Icarus was unwilling to let her go. In the end, he decided to keep his professor profile. "Oh yeah, we don't want you to get into trouble, do we?" he said as he was standing up as well, a bit frustated that she called him professor. "The pleasure was mine. Take care!" he said as she was leaving the pitch with her broom on her shoulder. Icarus decided to keep an eye on her as she was returning back to castle, by flying stealthy above her. When he made sure that she had safely entered the castle's gates, he flew for his office's window. |
