Oh dear. Nothing left to be done, the horse went still.

Wait...that actually worked???

!!!!

Ivy was beaming at her success and already planning on what she was going to write about in her letter to Mum and Dad later. She'd outsmarted a magical wooden horse on her second try!

Which sounded funny when she put it like that, but that was okay!

What wasn't okay was the wildly dancing horse coming right for her.

She dodged out of the way juuuust in time to avoid being trampled right into the ground. And then the horses disappeared and...they were moving on to another activity. This time with teams and more realistic kelpies.

Neat!

She definitely wanted to join Team Purple because it was her favorite color, buuuut...the Headmaster had said the teams needed to be even, and it looked like that one had lots of people already, so... Green team then? Yeah, green was a good color too!

Text Cut: Team Green

Turning toward Noah she watched as his began to dance and just broke down into another fit of laughter. “guys moooove move don’t get h-hiit,” she was laughing and telling people to move but it was a DANCING HORSE, it was funny.

"anyone wanna team up?" she asked her smile still bright even if hands down, she probably would have died today if not for her horse well...turning off?

K beamed a little to herself, straightening out her robes as the bridle hit it's mark and she had completed the mini task. She turned to head away from the water's edge when another one came... dancing by her. She yelped and jumped backwards into the water splashing up her robes, before the thing also disappeared with the rest. She looked down at herself and sighed slightly, before once again scurrying back to the rest of the group.

Oh. Okay. So now they were going to spread out into teams? Evenly matched teams at that. She could see people already grabbing their spots with different teams, and she watched for a moment quickly calculating the current numbers. Team Green seemed the lowest currently, but thankfully it also had Islay.

Smiling over at the other girl, she nodded at the question. "Would super love to." TEAM GREEN, FOR THE WIN.

Right. No touching. This was not CoMC. But when she heard that there was group work next, Claudine inwardly groaned. Why, Trent, Why? Ugh. There were so many persons she wanted to avoid...A quick recon told her that team Green was best so far so she drifted towards Islay and Kimberly. “Hi. So, do some of us provide a distraction while the others try to get the bridle on?’’ the third year asked, wanting to get this over with ASAP.

I hope you enjoyed the show, you dumb horse, he thought, taking one last look at the wooden horse.

For the first time since class started, Heath felt like he'd done something right. Who would've guessed his approach would be one of the few not getting criticized in front of everyone? He listened intently to the next set of instructions, relieved to learn they wouldn't be facing a real kelpie, though the mention of group work diminished his newly found confidence. Given the choice, he'd take the kelpie! At least he knew what it would do - anything it could to kill him. How a group of strange people would react to him was anyone's guess!

As scared as Heath was of what the other students might do if he tried to join, he was more scared of what Trent would do if he didn't! He looked around, eyes scanning for the group with the fewest people. Team green it is! Okay, Heath, you can do this! he thought, taking a deep breath to steel his nerve as he approached. Don't stammer, don't make any Star Wars references. Just be cool…

"Hey, mind if I join?" he asked the trio of girls (Islay, Kimberly & Claudine). He remembered Claudine, but he'd never talked to the two older girls before. "I'm Heath, by the way," he added.

He nodded approvingly at Claudine's idea. "Good idea," he said, "and I think I know how to distract it." The question was would anybody be willing to listen to him? He was the only boy here, and two of the girls (Islay and Kimberly) were older than him. They might not like being told what to do by a younger student, but it was worth a try! "If one of us acts weak and defenceless, the kelpie may see that person as an easy target and come to us… The rest of us should spread out - it probably won't come if we're all bunched together - and when it comes, sneak up and cover it from the sides and back. Whoever's at the back should try casting the placement charm first, with the people at the sides on standby to cast if the first attempt goes wrong. If we surround it from all sides, odds are at least one of us will be in the right position to guide the bridle…"

Heath blinked in disbelief as his voice trailed off. Had he really just said all that? Look at him, coming up with a plan of attack like a little Resistance general! Part of him was proud of that, but mostly he was worried what the others would think. Would think it was a dumb idea? Or worse, would they be mad at him for speaking up at all? What if they thought he was trying to be bossy? Oh Merlin, he didn't want to find out!

She walked over to the group in time to hear them laying out strategy ideas. And one boy already offering to be the ~~bait~~ distraction.

"I think that sounds like a good plan!" Certainly worth a try at least! Distractions definitely seemed to worked on the wooden horses, so it'd probably be good on keeping the kelpies from avoiding a bridle too. "And don't worry," she added, giving Blake a smile, "I'm sure we'll be able to bridle it, but even if we somehow don't, the Headmaster is here to back us up, yeah?" She was trying to be reassuring, though whether it actually was was up to the Slytherin boy to decide. She thought it was though, 'cause obviously nothing really bad would happen since they weren't real real kelpies. The Headmaster wouldn't let something happen to them during his class anyway, especially on the first day back. That would be embarrassing!
