Poor Dot. Adi didn't like the fact that she looked like she wanted to cry. But Kyroh! The guy was brave standing up to Airey though Adi could see things from the man's point of view. Rules were there for a reason.

Shifting his answer back to the board because his heart hurt too much for Dot, he focused on adding to his notes. He really wanted to go over and give the Queen a biiiig, squishy hug. Relating to the fact that THREE Puffers had just scored points, Adi raised his hand in a salute to the Admiral as an action of appreciation. GO, HUFFLEPUFFS!

Ohh, practical time! Adi lived for these, yo! He pushed away from his desk (yep, he had checked that his awesome brows were in place) after stashing his writing apparatus back into his bag. He caught the drawstring bag, opening it too peer in. Yep, bright yellow marbles in here. Now to listen to the instructions!

Oh, looky! The sand transformed! Soooo, yessers! Adi got all the instructions. Let's get this show on the road! When they were given the go ahead, he got a yellow marble out, followed Flamsteed's instructions to the letter. "Tikalas!'' The marble at the wand's tip was pulled back at the last three words of the incantation. There was the gold band!

Annnnnnd RELEASEEE!

The Hufflepuff had been aiming to the first planet but at that moment, he lost his balance (darn this anti gravity classroom!) because he hadn't realised he was floating into someone else. He bumped into them, was sent careening in another direction, his marble involuntarily shooting at planet three when his hand jerked, releasing the object.

Adi flapped his hands like a bird out of air to get back to the direction of his aim, calling a hasty apology to the student he crashed into. "SORRY!"
