Slytherin Post 1: SLYTHERIN TANK-1 TOAD CAUGHT

Holy. toads.

Junia's eyes widened slightly as Professor Stewart made many, many, many copies of a toad. Merlin's beard, that was impressive. Also excessive. She decided against trying the spell on her own toad, as how many defiant toads did you really want around during an activity like this? Plus, she was starting to fear that she would end up stepping on the poor things while running around trying to catch them and that-it made her stomach flip-flop. It didn't help that the tall grass and puddles of muddy water where now all over the place. Should've worn her wellies.

Taking her small toad out of its cage, the third year held him in her palm for a moment. "Be fast out there and stick to open areas where people can see you. You don't want to get squished." She paused and then added, "And if you're going to get caught, try to be caught by a Slytherin, okay?" Like, that wasn't too much to ask, right? She set the tiny creature free and then readied her wand. Game on.

Deciding that hanging around the patches of dirt might be her best bet, Junia crouched down and made herself very still. Any sudden movements would surely scare the toads more and she wanted to catch one off guard. That was her plan, anyway. So even when her classmates passed her by, getting mud onto her soft trousers, the thirteen year old didn't make a peep. She simply wrinkled her nose and willed herself to concentrate.

...And all her waiting and concentrating seemed to pay off.

A rather large and slightly intimidating toad hopped right in her path, causing Junia to hold her breath for a moment as she trained her wand. EEP! ""Incarcolvo!" The sound of her voice made the toad jump, but it was too little, too late. Her net closed around the creature, hardening into a cage. It was a victory. A small one, but one nonetheless.

She hurried over to her team's large green tank to deposit the toad, hoping it wouldn't disappear before she got it there. Seemed luck was on her side this time as it didn't, not yet. One down...many, many, many toads to go.
