He gave Emmaleigh a sympathetic frown.

He had his cauldron STRAPPED on and everything and it was secure and probably looked EPIC so really, he was set.

Comeoooooon.

OH HE KNEW THIS!

Hand up! "Catching as many rocks as you can!"

What was the purpose of the cauldrons? "To catch rocks." As many as they could.

"Before the game starts, there's a hundred rocks and boulders floating, by charm, a hundred feet in the air. When the horn or drum sounds, all the rocks and boulders start falling to the ground, so you use your cauldron to try and catch them," she said.

Trying not to whimper grumble too loudly Vickers went ahead and secured the LARGEST cauldron he could find. As he busily strapped that pot right sideup on his head he replied "Its to catch the rocks pelting at you Professor. " he said and added mumbling "Isnt this game illegal Sir?"
"That's correct!" exclaimed Vindictus. "Five points to each of you for your intelligent responses. And, er, thanks for reminding us about that, too, Vickers."

"You heard your classmates correctly. Rocks and boulders are going to rain down on you and your task is to catch as many of them in the cauldron that's strapped to your heads!"

Dramatic pause.

"All of you have scrawny necks. They're gonna snap like a twig when the first rock or boulder strikes your cauldron. Hmm... I've got it!" He pointed his wand at the pile of cauldrons and tapped it once, then he pointed it towards the sky and gave it another flick. "CONLESCO!" he said in a firm voice as he drew an invisible line above the heads of the students with his wand in a quick fluid motion. A shower of magenta stars rained down on the students.

"There. The Featherweight Charm should do the trick. Do the cauldrons feel any lighter on your heads?"
