Leo's blue eyes widened in pure shock as the runway model of his dreams turned against him, suddenly lashing out and blaming him for this whole fiasco. HOW DAAAAAAARE SHE. How daaaaaare she suggest this fire was caused by his button pressing!? "HEY. How was I supposed to know the cooking box didn't want its buttons pressed!?" he hollered back at her, large eyebrows furrowing in distaste. This would've been an opportune time for the young man to realize Serina wanted no part of him romantically, and yet this bickering only seemed to reaffirm to the young man that they had undeniable chemistry. He entirely ignored her remark about not being 'his love', merely sending an over-exaggerated wink her way as though to say 'Riiiiiight, keep it toned down around the other housemates, goooootcha.'

It was around that point in time that Adam wondered aloud how the fire had even occurred, and just as Leo was formulating a lie, he realized he had revealed himself as the culprit with his last phrase alone. Oops. He sent a guilty smile Adam's way and glanced at Allegra only to find a vicious glare pointed back at him. A soft 'ding!' came from the chalkboard, and a new message arrived.

"Ms. Souza, your intuition and quick-thinking in the event of an emergency have put you at the top of the house -- 15 points for you. Mr. Huntley, your lack of muggle knowledge almost killed yourself and your housemates. I deduct 10 points from your already non-existent score. Students, clean this mess the muggle way, prepare yourselves dinner without magic, and get some rest. Tomorrow, new challenges arise. And perhaps not all of you will prove yourselves worthy to continue... We shall see."


It was on the right side of the board that each of their names and their various scores were displayed, magically changing as Willoughby desired based on points and scores. After his message was complete, Serina's name drifted gracefully to the top of the list, practically glistening with the new label: "15 points". Just below her were Allegra and Adam, side by side, with "5 points" written neatly for each of them. And at the very bottom stood Leo, with a pathetic "-10 points". The standings stood as constant reminder that things had gotten serious.

Serina: 15 points
Adam: 5 points Allegra: 5 points
Leo: -10 points
