So he walked on over to where Sophie Brown was and seemed like he was the first or maybe someone already went. Who knows. "Hey Sophie. Seems like you got the fun activity."
Anyway he was not the best at small talk. So he got the three balls he need and turned to face Professor Culldon. Which was sure interesting. Though he might not appreciate the being dunked. Maybe a water proof potion existed by now. He was focused in the target to get him in the water. Dante grinned as evilly as possible and got ready to dunk a Professor.
One Throw, one Miss.
Well it would have been something pretty special if he could have done it on the first throw.
Second Throw, and HIT.
Awesome. One Dunked Professor coming right up. Sophie was making small talk with Culloden and may or may not have been playfully antagonizing him when the FIRST GUEST OF THE DAY ARRIVED. HOORAH.
Was Culloden getting nervous yet? Hehehehe.
"Hi Dante." Her secret santa friend. "For sure. This was my idea, so s'only right that I got stationed here." No one had the bravery to tell her any differently, so HERE SHE WAS.
"Y'get three tries," she let him know with a mischievous sort of grin directed at the Slytherin, then up at the overgrown Slytherin inside the dunk tank as she stepped off to the side, depositing the ball in her hand back inside the blue bucket before she did so and instead opting to hold her wand in her hand.
After Dante's first through, Soph made an, "awww," noise of disappointment, then CACKLED IN TRIUMPH when the second throw hit the target perfectly. "Yaaaas," she laughed, levitating the two thrown baseballs back over into the blue bucket with her wand as she griiiiiinned over at the newly-drenched Culloden over there in the tank.
"Y'all right over there, champ?" HEHEHE. Text Cut: Davie & Flamsteed! Quote:

Therefore, the man had done the only logical thing and attended the event in a lion suit.
Pebbles, naturally, was showing some house pride as well with her crimson red ribbon atop her head.
When it was his turn, Airey waved his wand and left Pebbles floating regally over the top of the dunk tank. Seeing as she was a poor swimmer, it would be unreasonable to hold her while students attempted to dunk him. She would be terrified.
Throwing Pebbles a quick salute, the astronomer faced forward with his serious astronaut face. Bring it on, Hogwarts.
Bring. It. On. Quote:

"Hiiiiiiiiii Professor Flamsteed, Head Girl Sophie, erm, older student person," Davie respectfully greeted everyone at the Dunk Tank as he stepped up in line. "Professor Admiral Sir, I was SO EXCITED to see your name on the list of dunkees today." Know why? The youngest Truebridge positively beamed at the astronomer. "Because I KNOW how much lions looooooove water. The only thing that would make this better would be if Pebbles were, say, HANDCUFFED to your wrist."
Davie smiled as sweetly as possible with that last comment. Oh Flamsteed would get it, yes he would. This was ALL ABOUT THAT TIME OF SUFFERING and now Davie had his turn to get even. It helped that Flamsteed was dressed perfectly for the occasion. Weirdly, yes, but when he thought about it, David actually appreciated the literalness of the House pride outfit. He was a walking mascot, wasn't he? Plus the big yellow suit just made him that easier of a target.
The first year lined up on his mark, aimed his first Muggle base ball --- which was weird, because it didn't look like a chemical base at all to him --- and aimed it for the target. OOOOOOOOOOOP. A miss.
"Don't worry, Admiral!" he assured the professor loudly and cheerfully. "I've got another!" Sophie Brown wanted to eventually take her turn at lion!Flamsteed in the tank, but right now, seeing the look of mischief and determination in little Davie's eyes was MORE THAN ENOUGH fun for one lifetime. Ohhhh Merlin. This was gonna be SO GOOD.
"You're lookin' extra ravishing today, David," came Soph's reply with a biiig ol' grin, then nodded her head down toward his shoes. "Your shoes are awesome." She wanted a pair JUST LIKE THAT.
Ahem. Digressing, though, because Davie was TAUNTING FLAMSTEED which was hilarious, and then he was GETTING READY TO THROW. After customarily letting him know he had three tries, Soph stood off to the side, her wand in hand, ready to levitate the baseballs back to the bucket when necessary and potentially stop any rogue balls that came flying her way ahem. The first throw was a miss, though, and Soph offered an encouraging, "S'okay, you've got this!" His confidence and cheekiness was a HOOT. This kid was the coolest, and SHE BELIEVED IN HIM.
