Which side was winning was already difficult to tell with the purple and cranberry paint everywhere, but either way, she was determined to help Hogwarts win!
Go Hogwarts!
"Pingo Violet!" she cast, aiming for Louise Hamilton.

She watched the globs of cranberry and violet paint flying back and forth. Had her spell worked? Did she take out the Hogwarts girl she'd aimed at earlier? Yes! WHOO! GOT HER! This was so fun! She smiled at the older girl as she joined the Ilvermorny side. Her smile only grew bigger when Louise offered her some advice. "Thanks! I'll keep that in mind," she whispered back. She decided her strategy was going to be sticking close to her housemate for the rest of the game. Although she'd been practicing, her shield charms weren't that good, and there was safety in numbers, right?
Speaking of which, Emma saw a blob of paint headed for her housemate. "Louise, watch out!" Nope, that wasn't happening! Not if she had anything to do with it. "Protego!" she exclaimed, aiming a shield at the older girl. Please let that have worked!
Paint. Paint. Paint. Flying everywhere and Louise had to smile when she spotted her former Defense Professor was playing for the Ilvermorny side. With Hawthorne on their side, there was really no stopping Ilvermorny now; not to mention that the cranberry color was FAR cooler than that violet. Reminded her of Thanksgiving and Family which on some level made the seventh year sad, especially as she thought about how she planned to return to England in the Fall for Wizarding University, instead of to American soil. It was a bittersweet decision she had made only a couple of months ago.
But no time to consider her future, or thinking about the fact that she wished someone else was outside playing, because she had to focus on the present and defending herself against the violet. Like the violet that was sent toward her again, by a badged Slytherin girl.
"Protego!" she shouted, at Emma's warning, even though Emma casted a shield charm as well. And between the two, the violet paint rebounded off, as the Thunderbird scanned the grounds.
Another Hogswartians captured, which meant just the badged snake girl left and Brent? Or was there someone else in hiding? She'd seen Brent's girlfriend attempting an attack with an impressive defensive move but perhaps she help her out? It couldn't hurt getting a double whammy as it seemed to work on the Hogswarts transfiguration Professor.
"Pingo cranberry!" she said, her wand spinning lightly between her fingers, as she casually aimed for fellow competitor.
