 Mrs. Alex Turner *asterisks user* Secret Door
In the end, Professor Myers had been right. It wasn't nearly as harrowing as the first task had been but -- well, it was hard to beat having to fight a Dementor and then being almost forced to obliviate someone's memory. Even if it had been a dummy; she still didn't understand how those dummies are sounded so self-aware but maybe this whole competition was designed to raise questions and have them lose their minds trying to find the answer. Like how they had been able to see what the competitors were dreaming under the effect of the potion and, of course, the ethical discussion that could be raised by asking the champions if they had known what they were taking.
So much fun.
At least Lupin had finally grown some sense and had kept his opinions to himself. Apparently. Still to be proven.
As soon as Hawthorne finished her speech, Daisy stood up from her seat, a flick of her wand sending her messenger bag levitating above her. The fact that Ilvermorny had more students in the competition was not as relevant as the fact that Levi was through -- it was bittersweet. She was, obviously, very proud of him but at the same time, there was a side to her that would simply prefer it if he could be in the stands next to her during the next task. Selfishness wasn't a pretty trait but it was pretty unavoidable.
Just like drama after the tasks, it seemed. The fight that never was before and now Irene was fainting and Dora was apparently rejecting whatever she had eaten. The Slytherin stopped for a second, stared at the two girls before glancing at the retreating back of the Headmistress. Well, if she was allowed to do that... Getting Levi and drag him out of there was much more important at the moment --he had been mighty impressive with his toothy grin, his resourcefulness and an overall brilliance that needed to be acknowledged-- so the girl didn't even stop as she walked past Brent and Skylar, accidentally overhearing the boy's words. Hmm. How much daydream potion had Brent been given?
"Brent, you really should visit Healer Reed. It's January 10th, mate."
Valentine's Day wasn't coming up; Levi's birthday was and Daisy was still not sure of what she was doing for that so, yes. No Valentine's Day for her yet, please.
Maybe next task she wouldn't sit that far back, considering how the champions always seemed to stand right in the front but, at least, she made it into their little circle and tried to smile politely at them. She knew them, of course, knew their faces and their names but it was a bit of a blur in her head and the last thing she needed right now was to accidentally offend Valerie by calling her Aurora or something. She turned to the boyfriend then, offering him her best grin and her hand. "Hogwarts always delivers, doesn't it?" And Ilvermorny was in on it now so, good luck to all of them.
