As Emma asked if she was ready, the little vengeant blonde at her side gave a nod with playfully narrowed blue eyes. Though she was rarely competitive, the boys had just plain cheated! She and Emma just had to win now! Just moments later the pair of blondes were hopping after the two boys before them, trying their best to catch up to the bromance that seemed to have no shame.

It was then that they caught up to Theo first, though he obviously didn't see them, jogging several yards ahead of them. Alfie's once competitive mindset immediately failed her at the sight of him, her expression softening as she grew distracted by the boy's adorable running. She had slowed down to a walk, her blue eyes large and endeared as they watched the Ravenclaw before them. But it was then that she saw Emma right beside her, and snapped out of it, flashing the girl a sheepish smile and a playfully stern expression as though to say, 'Right. Competition. Grrrr!' "What do we do?" she whispered softly, not wanting Theo to hear them.

Instead of doing the two above, Emma gave her friend a quick smile. Oh Merlin. Theo lurked right ahead of them... The blonde put her finger up to her mouth in a "Shh.." gesture. "Well, we can either attack Theo by jumping on him or tripping him... Or we can run past him and set up more traps," whispered the smirking Emma, narrowing her brown eyes at Theo and brining her hands close together, as if she was going to rub them.

Turning her brown eyes towards Alfie, she gave her friend a cunning smile. "So what do you want to do? It's your choice, unless you have a plan too," offered the blonde. She had to keep her eye on Theodore. Whatever Alfie and her decided, they just had to make sure they did it before Brae came back. Because two shorter girls could overpower one guy but two guys... Might be difficult. Though Emma wasn't going to admit the difficulty of their mission if Braeden showed up. Merlin, that would be bad for the girls. Unless, they found cake canons. But then again, Theo could probably beat them because as we all know, Theo is the King of Cake Canons.

It was like flying, except without the broom! Something which he much preferred, seeing as he was too clumsy for proper broomstick use.

He felt… so powerful. So agile, so light, so flexible. Like he could do everything and anything. Even… climb up the walls!

As he bounced a good eight feet or so into the air, instead of allowing himself to fall back onto the bouncy floor, Braeden threw himself at the nearest bouncy wall and held on to it like a mosquito hitting a night light. BUT THEN. Then he started to climb up the wall with little difficulty, in a most spider-like way. HEHEHE. He wasn't even sure how he had started to do this, if perhaps the walls were just especially made to be climbed like this or if he'd just magically turned into his favourite muggle superhero, but whatever the reason was, Braeden wasn't going to worry about it.

The view from high up in a corner of the castle where he stopped was quite… convenient. He could see the whole city-- castle from here, including those evil little blondes chasing after his precious curly-haired loverboy. HOW DARE THEY. He could see them following closely behind him, plotting. He had a bad feeling they were about to throw themselves at the boy or something - they could seriously injure poor fragile Theo if they did that! He might get a scratch!

And so, crawling closer toward where Theo and the girls were headed, Braeden remained out of sight high up on the walls, stopping only once he was right above an arched entrance leading toward one of the corridors. After Theo ran right through it, Braeden threw himself upon the girls that were passing right at that moment.

"GYAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" !!!

Opening her mouth to reply, her large blue eyes absentmindedly glanced over to Theo who was still jogging up ahead. But before she could actually get any words out, she heard a loud battle cry coming from nowhere.

Eyes widening, she just had time to glance up in the direction the noise was coming from before she was being toppled to the ground alongside Emma, both of the girls easily tumbling beneath the weight of Braeden Stonem. Letting out a loud surprised squeak of sorts as she fell, the little blonde Ravenclaw seemed a bit shaken up as she sat up, a delicate hand coming up to gently hold her head. Ow... Being attacked from straight above by a tall, gangly lion wasn't exactly the least painful of experiences. Blonde eyebrows furrowed, she glanced up only to find that their attacker was none other than Braeden Stonem himself, obviously out to protect the other half of his bromance. "Brae!" Alfie scolded softly, though there was vague amusement still in her soft features.
