That was a close one. He ignored Islay's chuckles. The boy was too embarrassed that it had to happen like this. He sighed and proceeded to group up with the larger group of students.
So WWW wanted them to split into teams? He heard his housemate whom had been quite friendly at the feast create a team. "Sign me up, Naya! I'm with you."

Nina let out a SHRIEK when the bridle AND the horse came flying her way. Fortunately, it was slow enough that she was able to move out of its path of TOTAL destruction. But it was still very scary. She had nearly died. She needed a better strategy. Clearly. The Slytherin let out a huff, blowing her hair out of her face and flattened her skirt as she tried to think this through. In doing so, there was another wooden horse CHARGING over, aGH!
This was absolute chaos. Nina needed silence to think and she was not getting it! Fortunately (or maybe unfortunately), Headmaster Trent called an end to the activity. She hung her head as their Headmaster lectured them. She had made a few unwise decisions, that itself was quite evident.
When it was time to pick teams, Nina looked around at the sorry group of students gathered around. She needed to strategize. There’d be no way she would join a team with Grantham. She had shared some concerning answers throughout the lesson and Nina did not want to end up Kelpie breakfast today. Orange it was. She walked over to the two already standing together (Noah and Naya).
”I’m Nina,” because they hadn’t formally met yet. ”We’ll need a strategy if we want to win.” Not that she cared about winning, but she would rather spend her time studying for NEWTs than in a safety seminar. So. Maybe she did care about winning today.

That part just brought the WHOLE vibe down.
Looking around for a group once it was time to switch things up, Cecelia decided partnering with some older kids was her best bet. Two of her housemates and an older slytherin with pretty hair were standing nearby, so the blonde headed over to them JUST in time to hear talk of strategy. Hey, she knew a thing or two about strategy! She used it all the TIME in quidditch!
"Hi. Cecelia here. I think we have to be quick, have some sort of distraction, and let the person who is best at spells do the bridle part." She ticked off ALL three things on her fingers and offered the group a smile.
Ok. The group was starting to form. The first to arrive was Naya’s housemate
Noah. He was followed by
Nina,
Cecelia,
Missa and
Ewan.
“Hey guys. I’m Naya”. For those who didn’t know. Looking over her group mates, she wondered if any of them had actually managed to bridle their horse and if so how. She could offer ideas on what not to do. She had a lot of experience with failing the task.
As the others started to talk, Naya listened to their suggestions.
“I think distraction is definitely a good idea. These horses are smart. They are not just going to sit still and wait for the bridle.” When the suggestions were made to spilt into groups, Naya nodded.
“What if both groups have bridles, that way we have a better chance of catching it.” She had learned her lesson about not going after the second bridle.
“This way we always have one group on offense.”
