The entire premise of wrong answers got you points was a little odd for the Slytherin, but it seemed right on point for the Astronomy professor. She was fun and Gunnar appreciated her wicked sense of humor.
But even with the weird way this quiz bowl was being conducted, why was Slytherin in last place with zero points? Especially with Eloise, the queen of nonsense and wrong answers, seeming to represent their house? Like??? What even was a big chungus or a weeb? Ancient pop culture was not his thing for him to even have a clue and he continued to give her odd looks every time she said something bizarre.
Gunnar knew the answer to the next question, but that wasn't apparently how one played this game. Pausing for a moment to compile his answer in his head, he hit the buzzer for his team.
"It allows the drinker to see exactly five years into the future for precisely five minutes." If Simran could read minds, she'd be extremely gratified to hear what Gunnar McCarthy thought of her propensity for chaos and enjoyment of the unusual. She was wicked fun, thank you, and she was inclined to believe that he was as well.
And when he slammed the button, she gave him a smile so bright it could have shone through the Mist downstairs. "Very creative, Master McCarthy. Well done." SPOILER!!: oh its Erik ok Quote:

She didnt necessarily want to answer. She wanted to judge answers like Nina. And really nothing to judge on his since it was boring and wrong. Yawn. See none of her answers were rejected and Sandhu was right it was not ideal and honestly being a weeb did sound worse than the real answer. Maybe Gunter is a weeb. Possible. Not likely tho since he makes a big deal about stupid quidditch.
Maybe she would brew some Pompion Potions for fun and give them to Cora and whoever wanted to use them
Chaos and Fun for all. It was extremely unlikely that Mr McCarthy was a weeb, but Simran wasn't a mind-reader and that was for the best. However, Chaos and Fun were two things she was in full support of, as long as those people who took the potions weren't going to report you to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
Fun was most fun when had with fun people. SPOILER!!: lazykitty Quote:

Crafty-crafty! Or you know, whatever you want to use them for. You do you. Only, don't tell her, she soooo didn't want to know.
And hey, Hufflepuff was in the lead. Yay! "An interesting thing to turn into," she said, smiling to herself as she visualised it. "I wonder what would happen if one was glued to something while being a pompom."
Nothing good, that was certain. SPOILER!!: DuckyLinJi Quote:

His hand went to the button when the Professor rewarded Hufflepuff with new points and when the next question came, the sixth year slammed the button....three time cause excited "When you drink the potion, it will turn your ears in to pumpkins" he said more calmly now than how he felt. Thank Merlin his rambling was over. Believe it or not, Dorian, Simran was proud of your for being a good sport and giving other participants a chance. "Not terrible, Master Katharos," she smiled gently. "But sadly too close to the actual effects of the potion." SPOILER!!: ArianaBlack Quote:

Nina Castillo was absolutely flabbergasted. How could their Professor encourage this kind of behavior??? It was entirely ridiculous and this particular Slytherin was not having any of it. Thankfully she was sat next to Drewett, who kept her from wearing a big frown. He was the only good thing about Quiz Bowl right now.
The young Slytherin nodded, "Do you?" she asked in return. She didn't like the ridiculous answers, but she had been answering with the correct responses in her head each time. And so far, she hadn't missed a single one.
She turned back when she heard Gunnar offer up an answer. It wasn't surprising to see him participate, only because she knew he was competitive. He was one of their strongest Quidditch players, after all. But his answer... Where had he even come up with that?
A Big Chungus was entirely school appropriate and Simran was really quite tempted now to get herself a pet rabbit and name it that. Just so that when Nina Castillo inevitably ended up in her office, she could bring it up really casually.
Nothing malicious, just a little fun with a meme as ancient as she was.
Turning back to the assembly at large, she clapped to get their attention. Was this whole clapping bit going to be a thing? Yes. It had been a thing since forever. "Right, so as many of you likely know, the Pompion Potion turns the drinker into a pumpkin," she said, and flicked her hand at the blackboard for the score to update itself once more. "Congratulations, Slytherin. Point for you for the most interesting potion I've heard of. If any of you develop it, I'd love to hear about it."
"For the next ten points: Who was the longest-serving Headmaster or Headmistress of Hogwarts and how did their term end?"
