Hadley had this. Yep. Nothing was gonna prevent her from winning this. Wand in hand the teen approached the door. It was going to be locked right? That had to be the first part of this. A locked, door.
Slipping quietly up to the door, Hads checked it and Yep. It was locked. "Alohomora!" The tell-tale click followed it. Confident, Hadley opened the door and stepped in. Yeah, she had thisoooOOOOH, MERLIN IN MUSTARD!
FIRE!!!!!
THEY SET THE BLOODY ROOM ON FIRE!
And people were trapped in the fire screaming for help. She couldn't see who, though. Hadley was too busy covering her face and mouth from the smoke that...wait. Where was the smoke? Hads stood up straight and looked around curiously. Only one half of the room was on fire. And there were dolls screaming in the middle and...nothing made sense.
There was a note on the door. She should probably read that. Hadley opened the door again and peeked around to the front so she could read the note. She didn't dare actually step outside in case that was grounds for disqualification. Instead she just opened it enough to read the note and...OH!
Well that makes sense.
Extinguish the fire. Save the dolls. Lock the door. Got it.
She actually did have this. There were some spells that Hadley struggled to perform a strong version of. And then there were spells that Hadley had trouble not performing a strong version of. Aguamenti was one of the latter. Which usually resulted in the water ricocheting out of the vessel she was trying to fill with water and drenching her. Sadly, Aqua Erecto was the former. It would have been a bit more useful in this. No worries. "AGUAMENTI!" The force of the jet of water that burst out of her wand nearly ripped Kira, her wand, out of her hand and Hadley had to use both hands to keep a grip on it.
Even then, with that strong of a jet, it still took about 10 minutes to extinguish the fire completely. And Hadley was feeling drained. "Finite!" The powerful jet of water ceased. Water dripped casually from the ceiling and puddles pooled on the floor. But no fire. Success right?
Okay the dolls screams were getting a bit irritating. The fire was out, what were they screaming about. Hadley marched over the dolls and grabbed them by their heads to muffle the screaming. Not that she needed to. The second they were in her hand, the muffled screams stopped. She didn't care and continued to hold them by their head. It was cathartic.
Now for the last bit. Hadley marched over to the door, slipped in a puddle, got up, unceremoniously dumped the dolls on their brooms and exited. "Colloportus!" She checked the door to make sure it locked. It did. And it shouldn't unlock either. At least she hoped. Hadley had spent most of last term practicing her various counter charms. It took practice to get new ones to stick, but she had gotten the old ones, like Alohomora/Colloportus down. So it should stay locked...
Hadley checked it again just to be sure. It was still locked.
She was done. And a bit tired. And a bit hungry.
