Gaston was looking a little healthier than he had been in recent weeks, but he was still a bit thin and pale and that sad, haunted look hadn't left his eyes. Truth be told, he wanted nothing more than to skip the evening's festivities - loud noises and crowds made him uncomfortable - but as a head of house, his presence was demanded. He was rooting for all the Hogwarts competitions, but he'd be lying if he said he wasn't hoping for a Gryffindor victory. He was even wearing a red and gold scarf (the only part of his outfit that wasn't black) in support of his champions.

"Good evening, everyone," he said as he approached the other professors, a cup of coffee in one hand and a plate of snacks in the other. He didn't much feel like eating, but he knew he needed to get his strength back so he opted for some of the lighter options. There was a brownie, a churro, and a couple of chocolate frogs on his plate. Speaking of food, his eyes fell to Headmistress Hawthorne's plate as he took his seat. "Are the tacos any good?" he asked her. And by "any good", he meant spicy. He might go back for some tacos if he got hungry later.

Was it just him or did Paul seem... off? "Merlin's beard! Are you alright, Paul?" he asked, eyeing his fellow head of house with concern. "Here, have some of this. You'll feel better..." He offered his snacks to Paul; he seemed to need them a lot more than he did. Besides, he could always just go back for more. He soon saw that Paul wasn't the only one who seemed off, and a sympathetic look was sent at Kalen. He didn't blame him for being nervous; he didn't like noise and crowds himself!

Gaston did a double take as he saw Hirsch. Was he wearing a Gryffindor scarf? "Did you switch houses?" he asked jokingly. "If I'd known, I would've dressed accordingly!" The thought crossed his mind to transfigure his Gryffindor scarf into a Ravenclaw one just to mess with people's heads but decided against it. He couldn't betray his Gryffindors! Okay, joke time was over. Time to watch the challenge...

FINALLY! It was time for the first challenge. Emma had been looking forward to this for days. As she made her way to the stands, she saw that her outfit looked pretty plain compared to what everybody else was wearing. But that was okay with her. She didn't really do crazy outfits. She had her Thunderbird t-shirt, Thunderbird necklace, and a little Thunderbird pennant she'd made herself. She didn't need anything else.

She ordered a cheeseburger, fries, and a cherry soda from the concession stand, plus some jelly slugs for later. They weren't as sour as her favorite gummy worms, but they would do. So where should she sit? She looked around and finally saw Benji and Charlie and some Hogwarts kid who looked about their age (Kyle) with them. She waved to them. Hi, Benji! Hi, Charlie! Hi, other guy!

"Hey, guys!" she said, being extra careful not to drop her food as she ran up to them. She saw that Charlie and the Hogwarts boy (Kyle) had cheeseburgers too and she laughed a little. "Looks like great minds think alike, right?" Then she turned to the Hogwarts boy with a friendly smile. "Hi! My name's Emma," she introduced herself. "What's yours?"

As Emma looked around, she saw a girl about her own age (Isa) sitting nearby.Ooh, time to make a new friend! "Hold on, I'll be right back!" she said to the three boys (Benji, Charlie, and Kyle) and walked up to the other girl (Isa).

"Hi! I'm Emma," she said, smiling. "I like your outfit." It was a little frillier than she liked to wear, but it was still pretty. Then she saw the posters the girl had. "Ooh, those posters are pretty! Did you make them yourself?" Because that would be so cool if she did! She was always interested in handmade artwork.
