Lucas couldn't help but smile widely at Sandhu and her wink. It was encouraging. And she was one of the teachers he would want on his team during something like this. Really. He wouldn't say no. She knew a lot about a lot and would probably give really funny troll answers.

But as it turned out, he did have someone (Cordelia) on his team. He vaguely recognised her from around the Common Room but had he spoken to her? Not really. And if he was being honest with himself, it was making him feel very nervous to be in a team with someone he didn't even know. But they had to work as a team, right? So, with that thought in mind, he moved to sit a little closer to her and offered her a smile. Hello.

Speaking of, the girl was really on a roll. His eyes widened as he watched her slam down on the button - literally SLAM - before giving her answers. But that was forgotten about as soon as she said the five, no, seven C's to potion making.

And the highlight? Crying.

Lucas snorted. Crying. Crying. To him, that might as well be one of the C's of potion making. It was one of the C's to him. But he tried not to think about that as he turned to her and gave her two thumbs up for getting them ten points. This was a probably the weirdest quiz he'd taken part in but he was starting to get the hand of it now.

Now. What destroyed the diadem of Ravenclaw? The third year bit his lip, mostly because he had an answer already and was on the edge of answering. The only thing stopping him was nerves but he felt like he had to. Mostly because he couldn't leave this all on the girl, who was already answering this question as well. He wasn't really the funny type but he had to answer too!

So with that thought in mind, he pressed down on the buzzer as hard as he could and blurted out, "My anxiety."
