She had to hold back the snicker that she wanted to let escape when Trent told Aboli that bleeding might be fore realism for her. She turned hearing she had to do whatever necessary to win. Well she’d rather go against a person than a dummy that didn’t maybe have logic. Spotting Heath she pushed her feet through the muck smiling a big sweet grin. “Heath, want to partner up?” If her charms got her the win she didn’t care. She had to fight the urge to yell at the Headmaster to see if they could leave once they won. No need to anger the headmaster for no reason.

Yet, there was Bernie talking about how Gryffindor have chilvary and stuff. She mumbled as quietly as she could “Speak for yourself” She’d do what she had to do so she could be clean and not in a mud filled room with this angry head of house.
Heath had no idea who, if anyone, was going to be his partner, but he secretly hoped he wouldn't have to fight a girl or a first year. His heart sank when Charlie took him up on his offer, though he dared not show any emotion. The thought crossed his mind to turn her down, but as he looked around, he saw that most everyone else had already paired up except… He caught the glare Claudine gave him and returned it with a determined look that said, I have a plan. Fighting another person would most likely mean less serious injury, and if nothing else, it bought him some time to watch the dummies in action and formulate a strategy, in case he had to go up against one later on.

Panic gripped him as he heard Claudine say she’d fight a dummy. No, Claudine! It's a trap! He thought, but it was too late. She could die facing one of those things, and if she did, it would be his fault! But he couldn’t allow himself to wallow in guilt. The best thing he could do for her (and everyone else) now was to win his fight with Charlie and tell Professor Recard what happened the moment he got out of here! He hardly expected her to stop the fighting, but if she knew what was coming, she may be able to stop anyone from dying of their injuries.

“Fine,” Heath said, nodding grimly, his expression impassive in the face of Charlie's smile. His dark eyes surveyed her up and down, as if sizing her up. Although he had no choice but to fight dirty, there was no reason he couldn't fight smart too. Use common sense and strategy, like the headmaster would’ve wanted… you know, before his random face-heel turn. An idea occurred to him. He didn’t want to fight a girl at all, let alone throw the first punch! His all-Gryffindor family would never let him hear the end of it if he did! Chivalry and all that, just like Bernie said…

Maybe he could provoke Charlie into attacking him first… get her on his own terms so he could end this quickly. He picked up a handful of the… substance and threw it at her face. I’m so sorry, Charlie! For that and everything else that’s about to happen, he thought. I’m only doing this to save our lives...
