Outdoor WADA performances and concerts were true blessings, you know?

Drumming on his thighs a bit while waiting for instructions, he was once again nodding to Serena when she asked about being portkey buddies. "Sounds good to me! Have you ever trave---" But it was a thought that was cut short seeing as they were on a time constraint and, well, the portkeys were activated and WHOOOOOSH away they went and THUNK came his boots to the significantly colder ground of...uh...where were they meant to arrive at again? Didn't REALLY matter considering there was Professor Williamson and there were his peers and no one was lost.

...right?

Right.

Wand out and read for this whole bluebell conjuring potential disaster, he found his way back over to Serena to check on her. She hadn't looked the best when they had landed and, well, they seemed to have sort of buddied up for at least today. May as well commit to the role. "You doing okay there?" he asked with a bit of a boyish grin while ruffling his hair a bit and giving his wand a twirl between his fingers.

Flammae Caeruleum. That was at least moderately easy to say. Surely eh couldn't muck this one up too much. It had been a while since he had last used the spell himself. During a training camp somewhere way up north in Canada.

Crouching down in front of the pile of wood, Josh directed his wand to a piece that was particularly sticking out. "Flammae Caeruleum." The hint of confidence in his voice was beneficial, and not faking it till he made it kind of confidence, as a little burst of brilliant bright blue dripped out of his wand like fresh honey and coated the wood. It eventually took on a more flame-like consistency that reminded him of the time he had accidentally set a ping pong ball on fire.
Serena had been admiring her bluebell flames when she had realized that she had a partner. SHE HAD A PARTNER AND SHE LEFT HIM! She remembered vaguely registering that he had asked how she was when they landed, but she had just been too dizzy from the Portkey to even consider replying. She resisted the urge to smack her forehead at her own empty headedness before whirling around frantically to look for him, and was relieved to find him next to her, conjuring up his own set of flames.

"Hi." She greeted sheepishly. How does one go about greeting her partner, who she had abandoned after landing, even after he had asked how she was. "Sorry 'bout earlier. I was y'know, I little...out of it" Out of it was an understatement.
