Dorian sat back down at the table after having pushed the button earlier and was frowning. For someone who thought this quizbowl was a joke he realised that he was rather enjoying himself. Not that he would admit this of course.
He looked over at the Slytherin table. None of them had participated yet and honestly, he couldn't blame them. This was pointless anyway.... But the moment the next question was asked he jumped up , reached for the button and slammed it a couple of times in case the button didn't work. "I DID!" he yelled and cleared his throat a second later before speaking more calmly. "With fiendfyre cause the Ravenclaw ghost refused to tell me where the bathroom was. So i snatched it and blew it up as revenge cause why not right?..." he laughed as he sat back down. "Really should have told me where that bathroom was" he added with a mutter.
Merlin's Beard he wasn't going to lose braincells over this was he.....? Nobody was losing braincells, dear Dorian. Goodness, she thought Gryffindor was supposed to be the dramatic house. In fact, she'd argue quite the opposite as generation of ideas sparked different synapses than the recollection of ideas, and when writing your OWLs and NEWTs or in real life when your professor asked you what you were doing out past curfew, when one did not remember what the answer was, what did one do? Precisely, one made it up.
So this could really just be considered practice.
"That's quite a reaction, dear," she said, eyes widening in concern as she nodded.
It was probably as close as she was going to get to someone saying deez knuts, she supposed. SPOILER!!: griffin Quote:

Dia noticed Drew looking at her and flashed her brother a smile as if to say I’m having loads of fun and I’m doing great at this. What happened to the diadem? She actually knew the real answer to that one! Now was not the time to demonstrate her knowledge though. Time to TROLL! ”An elephant sat on it and then a nundu used it as a chew toy.” Anything that a nundu chewed up was sure to be destroyed. The fatal breath of a nundu would probably kill off the horcrux soul fragment inside. Including the elephant was mostly for her own amusement. Honestly, you could brew a potion in a saucepan if you scaled everything correctly, and Simran had genuinely no idea why they still used cauldrons at school. All the potion research labs had moved to glassware when they were not working on potions that would be influenced by the metal of the container.
Cordelia's answer elicited a snort, which she tried quickly to disguise as a cough. "The poor diadem," she said mounfully. "I wonder if the nundu got any smarter from it." SPOILER!!: hermionesclone Quote:

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." "Relatable," she said, before she could stop herself. But oh dear, Master Dakest. Whilst being an entire mood, this was a team event. A team event where it was generally one-answer-per-team. Goodness.
And the worst part was that if just one of them had given the answer, Gryffindor would likely have won the points.
Oh dear, children.
Give her a minute, she had to fan herself. SPOILER!!: oh its Erik ok Quote:

Questions answered and now they onto the diadem one and of course a ravenclaw would get it right away. Though Eloise liked the gryffindor answers even if she didnt understand how you get a elephant and an nundu together. Myserty. But anxiety made her laugh.
Ah, right her turn and sadly Deez Knuts was the last thing on her mind.
"Big Chungus"
Now whoever gets this reference should get 100 points. Because its an ancient meme.
Then it was 100 points to Professor Sandhu, who was, indeed alive for the arrival of Big Chungus as a meme. She was three years old, sure, but she did have a prodigious memory and remembered something of it.
"Big Chungus," she said, nodding sloooooowly. "I like that." SPOILER!!: ArianaBlack Quote:

Her eyes grew bigger and bigger which each utterly incorrect response, and had Dorian not offered up an answer from the Ravenclaw table, Nina may have missed Drewett's invitation to sit. She hesitated for a moment, but decided to quickly make her way over to the end of the Ravenclaw table where he sat quietly by himself. Let it be known that she was only going to sit with him because he was one of her favorite people. And because he likely did not want to draw attention to himself either. It was a safe decision to make.
She leaned into him for a brief moment, hoping that he'd understand the gesture meant 'thank you,' just before she heard Eloise's answer.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????
The Slytherin's entire face went RED. She had no idea what the word 'chungus' meant, but whatever it was she was absolutely sure it was NOT something one should be talking about in class. It sounded inappropriate and Nina was suddenly very uncomfortable????
Well, Miss Castillo. Maybe you'd have a more reasonable and/or appropriate answer if you participated. Just saying.
For now, though, Simran was satisfied that she was sitting - even if it was at the wrong table. SPOILER!!: lazykitty Quote:
Originally Posted by lazykitty Archer had remained silent throughout the first few questions, getting a feel for the ridiculousness. And silently judging some of the answers. Like, when did she go back to grade school? Because these were definitely grade school league answers. But this one, she just had to answer herself. "Eleanor Rigby did it for all the lonely people!" That was a Beatles reference, for the uninitiated. And honestly, it sort of tied into the real story of what happened, since Helena Ravenclaw was kind of a lonely soul, no? Okay, so Simran was old but she wasn't that old. The Beatles? Way before her time. Her time was whatever came after Billie Eilish and Sam Smith. But she nodded nonetheless, an eyebrow raised in consideration as she did. Okay. "You did so well, dears!" she said, hopping a little and clapping her hands together excitedly. It was such a Moment. A Moment of Pride. A Grandmama moment as she beamed at her Memeing Students. A Grandmeme Moment.
"The correct answer," she said. "Is that Ravenclaw's Diadem was destroyed by Fiendfyre during the 1998 Battle of Hogwarts."
"Unfortunately, as Gryffindor couldn't settle on one answer, I cannot give them the point, no matter how much I adore their answers. Please remember, children, that this is a team sport." But, y'know, don't be discouraged. Either answer would have won. She loved them that much. Gryffindor was ON A ROLL and they'd get the next one. She was sure.
"So that's ten points to RAVENCLAW! Congratulations, Master Katharos." And with that, the scoreboard was updated once more. "For the next ten points: What occurs, when a Magical Taboo is broken?" Quote:
