Fiyero was sooo ready for this! He'd done pretty well in the first part of the Charms Challenge, but still not as well as he would've liked, so he was eager to prove himself this time around. As he approached the door, he heard screams, just like the screaming toys from the first challenge. Surely he didn't have to do that challenge again, did he? As he glanced over the directions on the door, he realized that the screaming came from pixies this time. Okay, then, that made things a little different!

He wasted no time in drawing his wand and pointing it at the doorknob. "Alohomora!" he said as confidently as he could. A faint click told him he'd succeeded in unlocking the door. There, so far so good. at least he hadn't messed up on the first spell!

The Gryffindor boy had barely enough time to let himself inside before he was ambushed. A mob of pixies flew right at him, and he had to cover his head with his arms to keep from being dive-bombed. Merlin's beard, these things were annoying! He took a moment to consider which spell to use in rounding them up, but it was difficult tho think straight with all those pixies whizzing around him. He knew more than one spell that might work, but which one had the best chances? Aha, he had it!

"Immobulus!" he cried, pointing his wand at the pixie nearest him, but it darted out of the way just in time, blowing a taunting raspberry at him. Alright, you little pests, you asked for it! "Immobulus," he said again. This time his spell hit a pixie square in the stomach, and it floated motionless in front of him. There, one down... but he still had several more to go.

Fiyero repeated that same spell a few more times until all ten pixies had been immobilized. Now he just had to get them back into their cage... and fast, since he didn't know when that spell would wear off. He reached up and grabbed the pixies two, sometimes three at a time, quickly stuffing them into their cage. When the last pixie had been caught, he slammed the cage door shut. Was he supposed to lock the cage? The directions hadn't said, but better safe than sorry, right? Besides, he didn't have enough time left to catch all those pixies again if they got out! "Colloportus," he said, aiming his wand at the cage door.

There, now all he had left to do was put the cage in the middle of the room, and he knew just the spell to do it. "Windargium leviosa!" The cage rose into the air, and he gently guided it with his wand toward the center of the room. Now to make sure it stayed there... but what spell should he use?! The Stickfast Hex? No, that was for gluing people's shoes to the floor... he didn't think it would work on cages. Oh, yeah! He knew what to do now!

Fiyero pointed his wand at the base of the cage. "Epoximise," he said; nothing happened. "Expoimise!" he repeated, this time a little louder. Still nothing... He was beginning to get frustrated! He took a deep breath. Here's hoping third time's the charm (literally)! "Epoximise!" This time the cage became glued to the floor, and not a moment too soon! His earlier spell was starting to wear off, and some of the pixies were already rattling the bars of the cage. Not this time guys, he thought, glancing back at the pixies with a triumphant smirk as he left the room.

He didn't remember the directions saying anything about locking the door back, so he just contented himself with making sure it closed firmly behind him. Having completed the assigned task, he turned to the viewing area with a deep bow and wand twirl, just like the last time. Hey, showmanship never hurt, right?
