Mixed feelings about the previous task had been an issue for students and some staff as well. This women had known just like the other staff what all these tasks entailed and that no one was in true danger, they students would be helped right away should something happen. However that didn't help while one had been watching those students struggle and several break down into tears. It had been enough to keep her from wanting to even attend this task but here she was.

The Transfiguration Professor had arrived on time whispering soft 'Hellos' and other greetings as she found herself a seat. Anyone looking at her may be able to see that she was indeed sporting buttons for those still in the competition. Yes, buttons. One for each competitor. There was no favorites. Surely she would love for Hogwarts to win and for Levi to come out victorious as he was representing her form house of Gryffindor but that hadn't kept her from cheering on them all. Each student deserved the same level of respect and to be cheered for during this.

Her eyes were on those screens even as Dana and Kirk spoke about what the competitors were doing. She had no plans on looking away from those screens.

Samara was here and her brother was nowhere to be seen. SIGH. In fact no one she was close with was. Honestly this was turning into a total bummer. The stands were pretty full and it was getting annoying trying to find a decent seat somewhere. A few soft 'hellos' were muttered before she found an empty spot and dropped down into it.

This is what happens when she doesn't walk over here with anyone. It gets hard to spot them. There was no doubt that her brother was here...probably off somewhere with his girlfriend or whatever she was to him now. Slightly grumpy now at being alone she fixed her attention on the screens and pretended like she cared what was happening.
