Default Magical Horse Shoes!



On the bank next to the Lake a big sign with a giant horse shoe plastered on it has been thrust into the sand. Behind it the professors have staked out 8 different coloured croquet sticks in the sand in a slalom like fashion. Every student gets three horse shoes and attempts to throw it at the coloured sticks. These horse shoes have been charmed so that they are magically banished to the sticks, so please take care when aiming because it would be really unfortunate if one was to go hurling in a random direction and hurt someone. You have 3 attempts to get your shoes stuck to the sticks, so take a deep breathe, relax, aim then FIRE!... or just throw it as hard and as accurately as you can, like a normal person. Accidentally throwing the shoe into the lake won’t score you any points but maybe an angered giant squid that will show his head and flap a tentacle at you.

So if you are feeling lucky, are focused and have a good arm, then try this event for a chance to win commemorative tokens and bragging rights.

Good luck competitors!
SPOILER!!: Prizes

29-42 points: ONE OF a tiny model dragon, time turner necklace , a sugarplums gift bag of candy
15-28 points : ONE OF a book about Quidditch teams of Britain and Ireland, deluxe set of quills
0-14 points: ONE OF set of gloves/mittens/scarf in House colors, gift card to Honeydukes

EVERYONE gets ONE commemorative token for participating

The Rules:
  1. Each student has 3 horse shoes, and therefore three attempts at glory.
  2. You must RP throwing the horse shoes at the sticks. The sticks are coloured blue, green, orange, pink, red, purple, yellow and brown. Take your pick! (Don't forget to tell us which colour stick your horse shoe is banished to!)
  3. You are allowed to throw more than one shoe around the same stick.
  4. You need to RP 3 quality posts to banish all of your horse shoes. By "quality" we mean at least one good sized paragraph, 4 lines of text, and a bit of effort put into the posts.
  5. No pushing, shoving or use of magic to gain an advantage will be tolerated!
  6. The professors will be keeping score and the results will be announced at the end of the game.
  7. Have fun!

Tayla decided to aim for the pink one. Pink was her little sister's favourite colour. She threw her second horse shoe as well as she could, but her wrist made a sudden jerky movement.

"Woops!" Tayla said, as the horse shoe landed at the red stick instead. "Oh well. At least I didn't miss. Red for Gryffindor!"

Vlimia decided to go for green this time, and threw her horseshoe expertly. It fell short of the green one, but landed quite decisively on the blue one she had wanted last throw. Aww... the game was over! Vlim walked away a little sadly, but then spotted another game! Fun!

Alyssa picked up the horseshoes and eyed the color sticks in front of her. There were so many different colored one in front of her that Alyssa wasn't sure which one she should try for first. She balanced the horseshoe in her hand, studying it's weight. She then studied the distance between where the sticks were and where she was standing.

She decided to pick the yellow one first. Swinging the horseshoe back and forth in her hand, focusing on the stick in front of her, Alyssa threw the horseshoe on her third swing and watched it as it sailed across and landed directly on target. Yes!! Yellow for Hufflepuff.

"Okay. Last one," Tayla thought, hoping this time she would get the pink one.

She carefully held the horse shoe and waited until she felt ready to throw. "Come on pink!"

Aiming as well as she could, she threw the horse shoe towards the pink stink.

With a soft clink, it landed just where she wished it would. "Yes!" Tayla said with a big smile.

Alyssa quickly picked up the second horseshoe with her right hand. Bouncing in it in her hand to gauge the weight of it, she then looked over at the sticks at the other end of the field. She leaned her head to one side to see which colored stick she had easier access to. Once she had made her decision, she swung the horse shoe back and forth in her right hand and all the 3rd swing, she threw the horse shoe aiming for the green stick.

The horse shoe flew straight and true and landed right smack around the green stick. "YES" Alyssa raised both her hands in triumph.

A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

Horse shoe throwing...Daichi remembered this game! He used to play it with his muggle friend back home. The Slytherin walked closer to the sign and noticed a couple of other students already playing. He had the feeling that this horse shoe throwing was going to be different than in the muggle world since..well...this IS a magical place right?

Looking at the colours, Daichi wondered which colour he should pick. Should he go with his house colour green? Or...oh! he knew! The orange one since it reminded him of a ducky. Don't ask why.

Picking three horse shoes, Daichi waited until it was his turn to throw and finally walked to the front. He eyed the orange stick as though he was having a staring contest with it. Leaning a little bit forward, he stuck his tongue out a little bit in concentration and threw the horse shoe. He watched as the horse shoe flew in the air before....

"YES~!"

This would be her last attempt at getting her horseshoe around one of the colored sticks. She had been successful with the yellow and the green. Now she just needed to get it around one of the other sticks. Alyssa walked up to the line and looked out the options she had before her. As she looked, she swung her horseshoe back and forth testing it's weight before deciding that she would attempt to throw her horseshoe around the purple stick.

Swinging her horseshoe one last time, she flung it forward keeping an eye on the target. The horse shoe flew across the ground and headed for the sticks....but which one would it land on?? Alyssa crossed her fingers and then leaped in joy when the horseshoe landed right around the purple stick. She was done. She had completed her three tries and Alyssa was now waiting to see what her score was.

Since his first try had been a success, Daichi KNEW he could succeed again.

Holding the two horse shoes in his hands, the Slytherin looked at the orange sticks. Trying to find one that was easy to throw a horse shoe around, he spotted one in the middle. Daichi took his position at the start line and placed one of the horse shoes on the grass. He held the other in his hand and bend a little forward, stretched his arm before letting go of the horse shoe.

For the second time he watched transfixed at the orange stick and horse shoe flying through the air. There was a CLENG sound and Daichi first blinked a few times when he saw he had done it again!

Those Quidditch trainingen and matches had paid off on his aiming~

She got 26 points? Zhenya did a happy air jump and said, "Thanks Professor Roslund."

She had so much fun during the Founding Celebration, why did it have to end?

Hope is the only thing stronger than fear.

"Thirty eight!" Oh my Merlin. Such a high number. Jezz took her Sugarplums gift bag and commemorative token with a great deal of happiness. It was so worth it.
