For those paying attention to the Hogwarts headmistress (which likely would have been only those sitting near her), they would have noticed her self-inking quill moving nonstop once everyone got to the point of their challenge when they had to face a dementor and save some random poor victim from it. Comments about people getting killed, them allegedly abusing No-Majs for a competition, and the like when unnoticed. Regina wasn't here to pay attention to the dramatics and hysteria of some of those sitting in the stands. It was what was on the screen that mattered to her, knowing that they all would be fine in the end for obvious reasons.

Then it was all over. Competitors started arriving by portkey to the stands one by one, and the woman took that as her signal to stop her note-taking and meet with the judges in their designated room at the stadium. It was going to be a rather interesting conversation, considering many of the competitors performed at such high levels. But, in the end, four had to be eliminated.

But first the woman had death glares for certain students that thought it was appropriate to take out their wands, on the cusp of starting a fight. They got more than just death glares the moment she approached them. "Put your wands away and sit down NOW! Either play nice or kiss your opportunity of having any part in this competition goodbye." Honestly. This was absolutely ridiculous and uncalled for.

Without another word, the woman left to go talk to her follow judges to determine which twelve would be moving on to the second challenge and which four would not. Until their return, the screen would have to keep them preoccupied as it replayed the highlights of the first challenge.

* ____ * ____ * ____* ____ *
Minutes passed by, adding up to a total of roughly twenty minutes. The conversation had been to say the least, very passionate. In the end, however, a consensus had been made, the decision final.

Walking about into the seating area of the stands, Regina walked with an expressionless look on her face. Instead of returning to her seat, she made her way toward the centre of the stands right in front of the screen. She took out her wand, holding it to her neck, and casted a silent Sonorus.

"After much deliberation, the judges and I have come to an agreement on which twelve of our sixteen competitors will be progressing onto the next challenge. Before revealing the results, I would personally like to say that all of our competitors demonstrated great skill in the forest today. We are all proud of you regardless of the outcome for today's challenge."

A was a brief moment of silence occurred while she retrieved a small piece of parchment from her inside robe pocket. Clearing her throat, the woman continued, "For the first challenge, each competitor could earn up to twenty-five points based on the skill they demonstrated. These points will carry over into the next challenge for the twelve competitors who were not eliminated. The four competitors with the lowest amount of points will, sadly, no longer be in the running for the IMPS scholarship.

"The competitors and their point earnings are as follows: Kyle Baker, Ilvermorny, 25 points. Valerie Gray, Ilvermorny, 24 points. Levi Kenning, Hogwarts, 24 points. Jesus Rodriguez, Ilvermorny, 24 points. Brent Westwood, Hogwarts, 24 points. Dora Umbridge, Hogwarts, 24 points. Louise Hamilton, Hogwarts, 23 points. Aiden Jones, Ilvermorny, 23 points. Aurora Chae, Ilvermorny, 23 points. Irene Avery, Ilvermorny, 21 points. Henreitta Kramer, Hogwarts 19 points. Tejashree Peale, Hogwarts, 19 points."

Then it was time for the eliminated: "Lachlan Wheeler, Ilvermorny, 18 points. Mason Winslow, Hogwarts, 18 points. Cassandra McNally, Hogwarts, 18 points. Carl Leonard, Hogwarts 16 points."

An applause was then had for the competitors, all of them, because they all deserved it. Regina waiting for the noise to die down before speaking her departing words.

"Congratulations to the competitors moving onward, and a sincere thank you to those eliminated for giving it your all." That's the way the cookie crumbles. "The second challenge of IMPS will be taking place in January. Before then, however, the Hogwarts Board of Governors will be hosting a social event before the holidays. More details will be posted about this social when December is here." Regina paused for a moment, making sure that she had everything covered. With nothing coming to her mind, she then concluded, "At this time, you all may now return to your designated lodgings for some much-needed relaxation after such an intense evening." No fighting, please!
