 Henry Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent
Karleigh's initial excitement of her and her cousin both tossing their names into the goblet and competing in even a mini tournament activity for class quickly turned into disappointment when it was revealed that they would be doing no such thing and that the goblet was for show only. What a bummer. It would have been cool if one person from each house had been selected - her from Gryffindor, Henry from Hufflepuff, and whoever from wherever - but alas.
She tried not to look too crestfallen as she followed the professor, Henry, and the rest of the class through the hedge maze. At least this maze was kind of neat, even if they didn't have to figure out their own way through it. A lot of questions about stuff she didn't know a whole lot about though, and Karleigh half wished she had taken out her notebook as they walked (except not really, she didn't want to take notes). Hopefully the IMPS stuff wouldn't be on the NEWTs. She was kind of impressed with people who knew names and even the houses of people in tournaments from years ago. But it was also hard to follow anyway when another chicken person showed up late too. That kid made it seem like he was doing it on purpose and Karleigh was unimpressed. It really wasn't that funny, well maybe funny in the really weird way. Little kids were weird. She didn't remember ever being that weird when she was 12 or 13 or whatever though. But she would leave that up to the professor to sort out.
Karleigh tried to refocus when Henry offered his knowledge and was even called on by Professor Holden let him expand on the information for a younger student. That was kind of impressive, okay? "Have you ever met her?" she asked him when he was done, noting that Atlas mentioned that Valerie Grey worked in Diagon Alley. That was kind of interesting and she actually never knew that. She wondered if Atlas had ever met her. She kind of wanted to talk to her about it and get a first hand account. Too bad she hadn't known that before summer started since she had a summer job in Diagon Alley herself.
And when it was time to get started on an activity, of course she wanted to work with Henry. "It sure does," she answered with just as bright a smile. "Do you have any ideas?" she asked, willing to hear his thoughts as well as give some of her own. "I don't know a whole lot about IMPS," she admitted quietly, feeling a little embarrassed that she as a 7th year didn't easily know the information that many of her classmates did. Had it been required reading. Clearly she needed to catch up. "Might be kind of cool if we could come up with something that tested a good moral quality along with a magical skill." Because both types of things were important.
