Okay, so although
Cy really didn't know it, Anna Greingoth was about to cave in. She was getting tired...restless...annoyed...you name it. Besides, in actuality, the Hufflepuff boy would probably rather stay in this ice until he nearly froze to death rather than pay Anna a compliment. Especially paying her a compliment in the manner in which she requested of him....'
Call out loudly across the Great Hall that Anna Greingoth is the greatest girl ever'. That did it. She was caving in. She was going to give up, release him from the ice, then carry on about her daily endeavors. She rolled her eyes and raised her wand, intent on using
diffindo to cut a circle around Cy, then a hot air charm to melt the ice. A second later, though, that Gryffindor first year
Mat came slipping and sliding right into the assembled group, and just like that...Anna became distracted. She put her wand away, then bent to give the little boy a helping hand.
It seemed she was doing a lot of helping others up, though, as
Fyo was currently making a stand using the arm she hadn't extended to Mat. "Go for it, Fyo. I say skate like your life depends on it!" she replied, giving him a wink and a thumbs up. Fyo had turned to talk to
Naomi, though, so Anna focused her attention on the girl, as well. "Oh, yeah, the more the merrier, of course," she said, giving the girl a polite smile. She waved at
Via as she, too, approached the table. "We're actually not really sure," she told her. "We think it's the works of that mysterious flood, though. It just...appeared...then froze over."
...but then...then she heard it...yes,
IT! The sentence she'd been trying to pry out of
Cy for quite some time now had just been spoken. She hadn't expected that of him...really, honestly. She supposed people would do anything in certain circumstances, though. She gasped in delight and turned to him with such a pleased expression. "Ohhh,
you actually did it! Did you hear that people? Cyrus Andrus thinks I'm the greatest Sheila to walk this planet," she said, obviously carrying on with the joke. She wasn't that vain as to actually take that much delight in a moment like this. She just wanted to give Cy as much of a hard time as possible...in a joking way, of course. She'd never tell him, that, though.
She smirked, then reached deep down into her pockets. A few moments later, a handful of chocolate frogs appeared, and she held them out for Cy to see. One by one...and as slowly as possible...she laid them in a neat row on the table. "For you, Cy. Well-earned, too," she said. "Now then, I do believe my half of the deal is needed." She raised the wand she was still carrying and aimed it towards the ice around Cy's feet. Using
diffindo, she cut a circle around the boy, so as not to separate him from the ice. When diffindo was done, she used a hot air charm on the ice blocks around his feet. Done. Done, done, done. She didn't stop to actually examine the situation and see if he'd gotten out, though...
"RUUUUUUNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!"
...she yelled to
Reese, her partner-in-crime in this little situation. She took off running around the ice, then made a dart for the door, going out of it in record speed. She wasn't going to stick around after that little prank.
OOC: Sorry, Cat. I was typing this post as you were typing the one above, and I didn't see you'd told Cy to say something nice about Reese, too. PM if you want, and I can edit.
