Despite the fact that he was having a serious (and sort of confusing) conversation with Skylar, Brent couldn't help but pause and turn toward the Headmistress when she got everyone's attention. This was it! She was announcing the results, and he'd find out for sure how he ranked among all the others. He held his breath and didn't move an inch as he listened.

Kyle...Valerie...Levi...Jesus... He felt his heart start to sink as the names went on. Then he heard it---a tie for second place! Sure, it was a five-way tie for second, but it was second place either way you looked at it. "Duuuude....," was all he could say at first. Then there was the list of the four who wouldn't move on. Man, three Hogwartians and only one from Ilvermorny. That didn't look good for the school, but fair was fair, and Ilvermorny had earned their spots just as well as Hogwarts had. Oh, and his co-Slytherin had made it through, too!

Text Cut: Skylar

"Skylar!" he exclaimed, anxious to share the excitement with her. "Did you hear that? I'm moving on!" He raised his arms to wrap her in a celebratory hug, but then he stopped when he realized she wasn't exactly sharing his excitement. "Skylar, are you genuinely worried about that hug?" he asked her, and then he sighed, because this wasn't exactly going how he'd planned. "I was honestly looking for you and Kane. I was really excited to greet you two as I came out the arena. Only, you two were nowhere to be found. Madelyn greeted me and hugged me, and even though we're not together anymore, she's still a good friend."

"I was really disappointed that you weren't there for me. Where were you?" he asked, because one moment he'd been looking everywhere for her, and the next second, he'd seen her leaving the viewing area. "That question wasn't an impulse, Skylar. Do you know why I asked you that at that very moment? Because as you know, a patronus needs a happy memory. While that dementor was in the process of sucking out my soul, I was trying to remember one of my happiest memories, and I remembered our kiss in the igloo."

But if she thought that was weird, then he guessed this was it. "You would have said yes?" he asked. So now that he'd returned Madelyn's hug, everything was over?

Sneaking mugs of hot cocoa and coffee is proof of that, despite what Daisy said about coffee. Yes, they should go. Feeling Vivian's hand on her arm, she nodded, but then held up one finger to say 'one moment', because the headmistress was speaking. It wasn't that she cared about the results, but the woman was in charge of her schooling for the next three and a half years, so leaving in mid-speech was probably not best practice. She listened as the woman talked and finally, got to the point tallies. Which even though she said she didn't care, she found herself listening anyway and when Brent's name came up, she was internally ecstatic. 24 points!!! He was still in the competition, and she had to admit she was impressed with those Ilvermorny kids; only one had been eliminated. But back to the present situation. "Yes, with Madelyn. Why were you hugging her? I mean, I ... one minute you're in a creepy place, shouting for the entire school to hear, asking me to date you, was that an impulse? Or did you mean it? But now i think it was just impulse, which was weird that you're near death and you're thinking about me..." she paused, *"but then, then ... you hug her."* Of all people to hug, it had to be the ex. Glancing between Vivian and Brent, she sighed, "So yes, we have to go. Congrats making it to the second round." She was about to turn around again, for what was probably the third time, when she paused, realizing she hadn't answered his question. The one from when he was in the forest. "And for the record, I would have said yes." Okay, now they could go. "Skylar!" he exclaimed, anxious to share the excitement with her. "Did you hear that? I'm moving on!" He raised his arms to wrap her in a celebratory hug, but then he stopped when he realized she wasn't exactly sharing his excitement.
