 Score - 0 (Olivia P, Stasya, Ace mentions) Gryffindor for life Notorious Niffler
Emmeline stared at Professor B as he said they were going to play the crazy-rocks game. What?! As he continued to explain, she let out a breath of relief; they were playing with rubber balls instead. The House colors thing made it feel a competition and Emmeline was always ready to play games that didn't involve certain death. So she was super new to flying correctly; when had that ever stopped her before? Besides, several kids were already playing. Getting excited now, she rushed over to the teetering tower of cauldrons, but she couldn't reach the top one. She could fix that!
"UP!" She mounted her hovering broom and flew to the top of the tower so she could grab two cauldrons off the top; one for her and one for Stasya. She'd seen the Cambridge girl use a spell to get her cauldron, so hopefully the older kids she and Stasya had been sitting with could get their own? 'Cause she couldn't carry more than two of these things. Leaning forward like Professor B had taught them, she managed to land normally. It was harder to go back to where she'd been sitting with two cauldrons AND a broom, but she managed it. As she plopped back down with the group, she handed a cauldron to Stasya. If her friend didn't want to play, one of the other kids could have it.
Still... She glanced up at Miss Olivia and Mr. Ace and the other older kids still on the ground, "Are you guys going to play? How do we only catch red ones in these biig cauldrons?" Because she was small for her age, these seemed just a bit big for her head.
