Fire held no entertainment value for her. In fact it tended to evoke very somber sentiments and memories, so her own attention was already turned away from the flames he seemed so entertained by. Simple pleasures for simple minds.
Oh great. A reminder of her failure. The only consolation was that she respected and admired the two who had defeated her. Had she fallen in fourth behind that Westwood child, Hogwarts would have seen more than a few things explode. She had already taken to the stands after her muggle brother had been used as a pawn in one of the games and let her voice be heard and she had fared well in that task. "Yes. I was," she replied coolly and tucked some of her thin white hair behind her ear. Which now very obviously placed him as one of the students from Hogwarts who she had not bothered to get to know. Her only focus at that time had been getting to know her felling competitors, the majority of which had been sub par at best. Only Levi Kenning had caught her interest and earned her respect. Someone she still kept in casual touch with to this day.
Which now gave him the advantage considering she had been profiled by the school and he had seen what she was capable of, including her animagus form in the hoax that had been that second challenge. Truly, the whole competition had been insulting for one reason or another.
