Norman smiled slightly, nodding in reply to Dhruv. His smile turned to a soft chuckle at the mention of jokes. He could relate; he never got the jokes right away either! As such, he saw no reason to keep everyone waiting for the punchline. “A kneazle has claws at the end of its paws. A comma is a pause at the end of a clause.” Corny joke, right?

His bluish-green eyes scanned the hall. He noticed Thanatos arrive while he was explaining the game rules and gave the girl a nod in greeting. He could already see a few teams beginning to form. Thanatos and Walles had partnered up, and it looked like Atreyu-Rehman, Paton, and Vance were forming a group.

********************************

After a few minutes, he addressed the group as a whole, “Let’s play Jeopardy! Our categories are…” He tapped the grid with his wand, and six category titles appeared in the top square of each column. “Spell Ya Later! for spell trivia; Creature Feature for - you guessed it - creatures; ‘Facts and Figures for history; Now We’re Cookin’! for potions and ingredients; Oh, the Places You’ll Go! For magical transportation and locations; and Pop Goes the Weasel for pop culture, magical and muggle.”

Norman paused a moment to allow the students time to give him their full attention. He tapped the gird with his wand again; the second square in the fourth column lit up. “Here’s the first clue. The category is Now We’re Cookin’! Worth 400 points: ‘Not only an antidote to most sleeping potions, this versatile potion heals injuries and replenishes stamina.’”

OOC: The game has begun! You may continue picking teams if you need to, but don’t forget to indicate which team your character is on in the title of your post. The game rules are in this post; I’ll also put the rules & categories in the top post for easy reference. You have 16-24 HOURS to answer this question!
