She gave the kid... Vivi? She gave Vivi a nod at her good work so far. Excellent foothold work so far.
"Get on with you, Skylar. Go slow but don't stop. And don't look down." She didn't mean to be especially bossy, but there was a great lack of focus at the moment. Katy turned her attention back to their great stone wall, which was looking much less smooth now that they'd started to attack it with gusto. Another handhold, then? "Labehfactum. Labehfactum. Labehfactum.." Nice. Quote:

Though, well, it was a little hard considering she needed to focus on a certain spot to make sure nobody got hurt. This blonde didn't want that to happen, oh no. So whenever Sky went up, she tried her best to find a convenient spot for her that didn't have to put her at risk of getting injuries.
"Lahbefactum!" She sent another one with the clockwise circle and flick of her wand, just a few inches above Sky's head. Phew! But the more her dorm mate went up higher, the more Vivian got nervous. It met she was higher up the ground and, even if the floor was cushioned and charmed thanks to Professor Hirsch, she still didn't want anyone falling off the rock any time today...or ever.
Hmm. Chill, Vivian. "Labehfactum!" The blonde sent one last hex, making sure Sky had enough deep footholds to reach the middle of the rock, where the male Slytherin -- she heard the older blonde call him 'Lupin', like the wolf -- had his footholds. He wasn't assigned to the middle, yeah? "I... I think that's good enough for my part, at least." She'd just be vigilant to add extra footholds in case accidents happened, so her hand still gripped around her wand.
The blonde bit her lower lip. C'mon, Diggory. Ya got this. Oh, so now she was supposed to get started? Go slow and don't look down. Reaching up, she found herself easily able to grab hold of the first crack and pulled herself up carefully. And sideways glancing up and to the left and right made it easy to see where the rough parts in the rock were, making it easier for the fourth year to reach and stretch to get to the next one ...
... and the next... closing her eyes momentarily when bits of stone crumbled from overhead. Well, that was going to be a lovely look for her hair. Not. But she played quidditch, so bits of rock in hair would be nothing, right?
Just a slight jump to get to the one northeast of her and ..... "Time's up! Please lower your wands and stop casting. If you're in the middle of climbing, start climbing down again." She might have heard the five minute warning, but had sort of tuned that out as she was so focused on climbing and was ALMOST to the top, when she heard the definite "Time's Up!" which for some reason she couldn't tune out. And for some reason she looked down to see if time was really up or if she could make it to the top, but that brief second of looking down and that brief startling of Hirsch's voice, as she reached for the next holding, she misjudged and found herself falling backward ...
... falling until she reached the cushioned floor in which she found herself sprawled on her back. For the brief moment in paralyzed shock, before she smiled and sat up, laughing.
Could she do it again? And no, she didn't want any treats! She was kind of on an adrenaline rush from falling right about now.
