It WAS a staring contest?! HOW FUN! Vaguely, Abey wondered if that was how they were starting off the competition thingy that the Ilvermorny people were here; it was one way to kick things off! But not the dangerous sort of tasks he had been expecting.
BUT THAT WAS OKAY because the mention of dangerous tasks had had Abey all sorts of worried.
Looking to Daisy, Abey grinned and nodded his head. Meanest stare? "Got it!"
And then he turned to face the students and staff from that other school, screwed up his face into a MEAN EXPRESSION which was almost comical to see on his own rather soft features - it involved a lot of brow-furrowing, nose-scrunching, breath-holding, and mouth-puckering - and STAAAAAAAAAARED.
No sooner had he started though, than had he heard Levi go into more of an explanation. Abey turned back to look at him again, forgetting to stop making his laughable 'mean face' until after he was facing the older Hogwarts students again.
"Fix it?" The contest? But it looked pretty fun! Especially to THIS little Gryffindor who believed that he tension he was witnessing was actually just a result of DEEP CONCENTRATION. Even so, Abey trusted Levi and the older students, so... he nodded and waited for them to fix... whatever it was that needed fixing, and allowed himself to be shepherded by the older Gryffindor, before standing there with them and looking as smart as he could. "Okay!"
Oh! But!
"But what's that?" he asked, pointing at the BIG RED MACHINE. It looked a lot like a car - Abey had seen cars before, but only the newest models because they were the only ones he was exposed to in passing, and definitely no antiques - but... no, that couldn't be a car... could it?
Ooh, Derf was here too! HI DERF, HI! Abey wanted to GO OVER THERE AND DO THE HUGGING THING but actually right now he was busy being very smart and stuff and standing with the older kids and being a part of their SUPER COOL GROUP.
OH AND LOOK! Younger students had come too! With the Ilvermorny group! For some reason, Abey had assumed that all of the visiting students would be older - only the eligible ages - but some of the people climbing out of the back of the big metal thing were his age too! EXCITING! ABEY WAS BUZZING WITH EXCITEMENT. The volume among both crowds of people was steadily getting louder and louder, but it simply fed Abey's excitement all the more.
"Are they choosing the champions now?" Abey looked behind him and up to address Levi and Daisy and Aslan and the Slytherin prefect whose name he could never remember, as if they were sure to know. Which, actually, they obviously were, because older kids knew more than younger kids. It was a law of nature, or something.
