After all, the particular dementor she'd faced had somehow managed to rebuff her fully corporeal patronus. Levi hadn't known that was possible. So he was left with no choice but to wonder if what she'd cast was just the illusion of a patronus as opposed to a real one. Surely that was the only feasible explanation.
"I thought it was deplorable," he said, candidly, offering a one shoulder shrug as he watched her do the opposite of what her words said, and sat. "As was Dora's and Jesus'. But Brent and Aurora aside," at this point, he frowned, recalling their perfectly carefree attitudes after the challenge. Levi had been torn between rolling his eyes, asking if they were aliens or flinging them off the stands. "I think we were all a bit tense and confused. Myself included."
His words elicited a giggle (yes, giggle) that left her lips curled in an amused smile. She felt little remorse when she reflected on what had transpired, the only instance particularly standing out in her mind being the lingering look of disapproval Jesus had left her with, and where she to have done anything differently she would have ensure that her hex actually hit Madelyn. There was nothing redeeming about cheering on a task like that one. Nothing. "
Many actions that day were deplorable," she concurred.
The actions of Dora had intrigued the Wampus to say the least. Another of the Hogwarts champions she had been meaning to seek out, although experience was telling her that that particular blonde was more of a rabid beast at the moment and would not hesitate to bit if approached. But the sixteen year old had seen her poster imploring champions to consider donating their reward rather than keep it in excess. It was
intriguing to say the least.
"
Aurora is an aside," she stated firmly as a growing sense of unease eating at her insides at the ease of which she found herself speaking with Levi Kenning.
Unnerving. Which was why she found herself proceeding with more caution, omitting her opinion aloud about Brenton's subjection of all in the stands to his reenactment of a No-Maj teen romance film.
"
Some not nearly as much as they should have been," she retorted cooly. Her grey eyes focused intently on his chocolate ones, perhaps searching for a confirmation of kindred spirits she had felt in the stands that day. "
I heard your mutterings to that schoolmate of yours. The young girl who did not complete the task," she commented, her tone crystal clear with approval. "
Cassandra, I believe is her name." Valerie could not recall for sure in this moment, but the younger girl had been knocked out of the competition regardless. Therefore making such information superfluous to the Wampus.
