He then gave it a simple swish and flick to lift the purple tarps off of the items they were covering.
Two piles of black cauldrons were revealed to the class. In place of handles, each had thick, brown leather straps.
"Each of you needs to grab a cauldron and strap it to the top of your head. Please do this now or risk irreversible brain damage and possible death when we start playing the game."
Smirk.
Woohoooo. West was quick to get up because BOY WAS HE EXCITED FOR THIS! CAULDRON! ON HEAD! On his feet and zooooooming to the cauldrons. He grabbed one that looked like a likely candidate and excitedly ZOOOOOOMED back to his spot, where he'd left the school broom. ARGFSgh;gnksadglnsd ESSITED!
The thirteen year old strapped the cauldron on his head, trying to do it like what he'd seen in a book, and making sure it was secure. It was.... heavier than he expected. He stuck his hand up.
"Do we get to make it like... less heavy, with a lightening charm or something, Professor V?"
He'd barely registered the 'brain damage' and 'possible death' there were more important things to worry about than that. Like winning.
