The day of the first competition.

Noelle was dressed to the nines in Gryffindor apparel. She even had her hair pulled halfway up with a red and yellow bow. She had wanted to get Olly to do her makeup, but they currently weren't speaking at the moment so Noelle had tried her best and had written GO GRYFFINDORS across both cheeks. She even had buttons.

Making her way to the stands, Noelle wasn't much for eating for the past week. She did, however, remember to bring a notepad. Note-taking at a time like this was crucial. Heading to the top of the stands so she could get a clear view.

Noelle's eyes glimpsed the stands for a bit. She waved and said hello to many of the faces that were supporting Hogwarts. Hirsch. That man. He got an extra big grin. She liked his apparel.

Now, note taking time. Noelle wrote all the competitors names down. Then, started to make a list of the spells they were using and what tactics they were acting on. Daisy's commentary was gold. Noelle really admired the competitors. You could only imagine what was going on in their heads. This wasn't like dueling. You were in actual danger with these competitions. It wasn't you against another student. The bravery, skill, training, etc that it took was insane.
