Fiyero fidgeted a bit as he waited for his turn in the ever-changing prcatice room. He'd been practicing for months, and hewas so ready for this. Bring it on, Charms Challenge! And to think he'd been so worried about being bad at chsrms at the start of the term that he'd almost not signed up...

As he approached the door, he immediately heard screaming coming from the other side. Uh oh... it sounded like someone was in trouble! He jiggled the doorknob, only to find that it didn't budge. Oh, right... he had to unlock it with a spell (duh!) Hedrew his wand, pointing it at the doorknob. "Alohomora!" he cried, making a backward S shape with his wand. He tried the door again... still locked. He didn't understand. Why didn't it work? He'd done that spell a hundred times before! He decided it was jusr nerves throwing him off (or at least he hoped that was all it was)and tried agsin. "Alohomora!" This time he heard a faint click.

Fiyero opened the door and peered inside, his eyes darting from the fire engulfing the room to the dolls screaming. He did a double take. Was he seeing what he thought he was seeing? Fire, dolls coming to life... what was this, Toy Story? It was a good thing Ariel wasnt here or she would've been freaking out over the dolls about to be burned. He shook his head. He could be weirded out by all this later; right now he had a job to do!

"Hold on, guys! I'll have you out in a minute," Fiyero assured the dolls. He had no idea why... they probably couldn't even hear him over their screams. He knew exactly what spell to use to put out the fire. "Aguamenti," he said confidently, drawing a sideways S with his wand. Maybe setting his cauldron on fire in potions class hadn't been such a bad thing after all. At least it had given him some practice with this spell. Still, he wondered why the wand movement for a water spell looked so much like a crawling worm...

water shot out of the end of his wand and doused about a third of the flames. Hed have to thank Professor Myers for teaching him that spell later. If he won, he might even vite him to the party. "Aguamenti," he said again. "Aguamenti!" The last spell rebounded off one of the walls, showering him in a jet of water. Ugh, he groaned, wringing out his robes. Well, that was one way to put out the fire.

With the fire extinguished and the dolls effectively silenced, Fiyero wondered what he was supposed to do next. Was he allowed to go pick the dolls up now or should he use a Summoning Charm? This was the Charms Challenge,after all, so he decided on the latter. He pointed his wand at the dolls. "Accio dolls," he said, tracing a sort of horseshoe shape.He Really hoped that worked! He'd done that spell a few times in astronomy but otherwise hadn't had much practice with it.

To his relief, the two dolls came flying across the room. He caught them both in his free hand and gently placed them on their little brooms. After taking one last look around the room, just in case there was something he missed, he closed the door behind him. Now all he had to do was lock the door, and then he was done. But what was that spell? WHAT WAS THAT SPELL??? He was starting to panic. Oh yeah, now he remembered! "Colloportus," he said, pointing his wand and drawing an openended P shape. Another click told him the door was locked, but he was going to test it just in case. He jiggled the doorknob... yep, locked.

Fiyero turned to the people in the viewing area, flashing a triumphant smile. He twirled his wand like a baton before putting it back in its holster. "Thank you for your kind attention," he said with a dramatic bow before exiting. Hey, maybe they would give him some extra points for showmanship.
