 Post 2 (1 green balloon hit) Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll
At first Fiyero was pleased with himself for finally getting his apple to float, but that pride went away when he saw the looks on some of his classmates' face. He really hadn't meant to upstage the older students! He probably couldn't cast that spell again in a million years... he just got lucky this time.
He turned his attention back to the game. Now he had to summon his apple back... which involved another spell he'd never done before. "Accio," he said, pointing his wand at the honeycrisp apple above him; nothing happened. Now that was ironic... he got the complicated anti-gravity spell but was having trouble with a summoning charm. "Accio!" he said again, this time a little louder. This time the apple gently floated back into his waiting hand.
So now what was he supposed to do? Was he supposed to toss his apple each time or guide it with his wand? Most of his classmates seemed to be throwing their apples, so he decided that must be the way to go. He threw his apple as far as he could, hitting a dart. This was fun! It was almost like throwing a quaffle.
There was a loud pop as one of the blue balloons burst, and Fiyero glanced up. Had he done that? No, that wasn't his apple. The dart he'd hit sailed up, narrowly missing a balloon before it vanished. He was sort of glad he hadn't hit a balloon that time. After all, he didn't want his classmates to think he was showing off! Still feeling guilty about casting the spell correctly, he considered throwing the game until...
He saw an older Ravenclaw boy sulking in the corner. He felt a bit sorry for him at first. He would've offered him an encouraging smile or assured him that getting that spell right must've been a fluke, that there were plenty of spells he could do that Fiyero couldn't, but then he saw a couple of girls sidled over to him. He had no idea why, but something about that made him angry. I get the spell right and everybody hates me for it, but Mr. Ravenclaw prefect keeps doing it wrong and everybody fawns over him?! he thought. How's that fair?
Then he heard a Slytherin girl say something about aiming for the Gryffindor balloons. What did she have against Gryffindor? That was it; Fiyero was done being nice! He'd show her... He threw his apple with all his might. It hit a dart square in the center, and a green balloon burst with a loud BANG!
