Gaston listened carefully as River explained how the obstacle course worked. It didn't sound quite as complicated as he thought it might be, which eased his mind a bit, and at least there was no fire! He smiled a little at the healer's joke about the professors needing the students' help, exchanging a knowing look with Rose. It really was no joke, he probably would end up needing a student's help! It wouldn't surprise him at all, given his clumsiness...

His blue eyes widened slightly as giant snow mounds grumbled and turned into... wait, were those yetis? Well, that explained why River called this the Yeti Challenge. Gaston looked back at Rose for a minute. The thought crossed his mind to ask her to team up with him, but then again... he thought the students might need him more (or the other way around!) Sorry, Rose! He hoped she'd understand...

Gaston took off in the direction of the first obstacle. Running in the snow was difficult, but not impossible. It really wasn't so bad once he got used to picking his feet up a little higher than normal. He heard a strange sound behind him and looked back to see one of the yetis chasing him. While his head was turned... OOF! He tripped. He sighed as he got up and dusted the snow off his coat. It was bound to happen sooner or later...

He approached the first obstacle and glanced up to the top of the mount. How in Merlin's pants did River expect him to climb this thing?! There wasn't anything to grab onto! Still he was determined to get to the top. If the students could do it, so could he! He slowly inched his way up until... He made it, finally!

Other students were already running ahead. Knowing that he wouldn't really be able to catchup, but trying to anyway, he started running through the snow. Only it was more like wading. and making ungainly leaps instead of steps to try to get ahead.

Oh, Merlin, if his sisters could see this they would never stop teasing him. He sure hoped everyone else would be too preoccupied with their own progress to notice his.

There was a mountain of snowballs ahead, which looked mildly terrifying as Harvey envisaged it toppling all over them. But not, surely they would be safe. Trying to push such thoughts out of his mind, he began to climb. And climb. And climb.

And then... climb some more.

Until finally - yes - he was was at the top!

And facing a yeti hole. Oh dear.

Once Gaston made it to the top of the first obstacle, he quickly noticed a student stopped near the second one. "Alright there, Mr. Jarvis?" he asked, giving the boy an encouraging smile. He probably wouldn't want a professor for a partner, but he was more than willing to help him if he did.
