The quill was still ferociously writing away, putting the final touches on the thoughts that were running through her mind about the performance of each competitor. The challenge had been. The headmistress herself found herself impressed by each of the competitors to some degree. It wasn't every day one survived a runespoor attack and lived to tell the tale, granted the Ministry officials would have prevented that from happening.

When she made it to the bottom of the stands, the quill stopped writing and simply hovered beside the notepad. The woman continued moving forward, progressing to the location where the judges would be meeting for the final time. She was already assuming the words that would come out of their mouths, and she would bet her galleons that Mox --

There was a scream and murmuring that stopped her in her tracks. Her head whipped around, only to see that Valerie Gray had fainted and people were started to crowd around her. She instantly ran over to the group that was forming, pushing some of the students out of the way because the girl needed space. The quill jotted one last note down about a lack of proper hydration. Her wand was out, though River made quick work of attending to her. So she simply joined the Ilvermorny headmistress in doing crowd control.

And then the Wampus was back, wasting no time to act like her normal self. The moment the glare went her way was the moment Regina walked away toward her original destination. The girl was fine. River was taking care of her. She and Moxely had competitors to score now so a winner could be announced.

* * *The Hogwarts headmistress returned and headed her way toward the centre of the stands after a lengthy conversation about what had been observed in the final challenge. A long eighteen minutes had been spent going back and forth. The final results were, needless to say, close.

"Our final challenge turned up the heat for our competitors -- both figuratively and literally -- by placing them in an African setting and having them go face-to-face with a grown runespoor. This was no easy feat, so all of our competitors have shown great endurance today," she said, her wand pressed gently against her neck. "Thank you to our companions from the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures for being on standby throughout the challenge. And we owe a special thanks to Scamander Zoo for providing for us the four runespoor that were present in this challenge."

A pause then followed, her hand reaching inside for a piece of parchment that had the results of the challenge and the competition as a whole. Suspense filled the area as she silently unfolded the piece of paper and gazed up at the crowd. She purposefully hesitated and then suddenly spoke, "As with the previous challenges, the final four competitors had the potential of earning up to twenty-five points to add to their overall score. As today marks the final challenge in the International Magical Pupil Standoff, no one will be eliminated. Instead only won will be crowned the winner of the competition and will be the recipient of a full-ride scholarship to the university of their choice.

"In fourth place: Brent Westwood, 91 points." The woman paused for a moment to lead the crowd in an applause. Her eyes searched for him amongst the throng of students and then locked on him, giving him a smile. He had done so well.

"In third place: Valerie Gray, 92 points." Another applause was had. The woman's eyes moved from Brent to Valerie. A simple, though proud nonetheless, nod was given to the girl.

The two remaining were Levi Kenning and Kyle Baker. Regina found both of them, her eyes flicking between the two of them and the parchment in her hand. She knew the results, though was pausing for dramatic effect. "Our first and second place competitors over the course of the entire competition scored a 95 and 94 respectively. Please join me in applauding them for this great accomplishment." She led them in another applause, again purposefully dragging things on for the suspense factor.

And then there was total silence until, finally, the woman cleared her throat.

"Our winner of the of the IMPS competition, with a total of 95 points, is --" she said, flicking her wand at the screen behind her. For a moment, the screen went blank and then a name flashed and confetti appeared out of nowhere, falling on everyone in the stands. "Congratulations to Kyle Baker, winner of the International Magical Pupil Standoff!"

With that said, Regina removed her wand from her neck and made her way over to Kyle to shake his hand. "Well done, Kyle. Well done indeed."

And don't go too far, Mr. Kenning. The headmistress had yet to personally congratulate him.

Now, with IMPS being said an done, all that was left of the school year was final exams and the end-of-term feast. Then it would be time for the American school to fly over the Atlantic and the Hogwartians to hop on the train. What a relief. Surely everyone would be able to handle that after all of this excitement.
