Stuck inside with Sirius | *Splish-Splash* | bamBAM | ☁ Spooktacular ☁
Nia smirked at Raiden's choice of words. Lafay? An unstable firework? Hehe. It was quite a fitting description, really. Maybe like a firework in a bubbling potions cauldron - and depending on the potion, anything could happen. From giving out free doughnuts, to detention. Ahem, anywayyyyys...
Nia's face lit up at the mention of riddles. She did love a good puzzle. And her brain was well tuned to the thinking of riddles with being a 'Claw and all. "You obviously figured them out well enough," she replied with a casual shrug. "Logic can play a huge part." She nodded.
...and now he was giving her one? To guess the creature. She grinned. "Assuming the riddles are relevant...way too easy," she answered with a wink. "It was sphinx, right? Not at all good if you happened across the wrong answer. So I'm assuming you did a fantantic job and it let you pass right on through." Hmm, would he remember the riddle? Cos she'd love to give it ago herself. Hehe.
Watching him catch the items, Nia noted his reflexes. Not bad. They should defo meet up for some friendly quidditch over the summer. When it was warm once more. Talking of warm.... She went to pull the hat off her head, to help Raiden stay warm, when his words made her blush. Or at least, made her cheeks feel warmer. Whether or not it would show in the chilly air, remained to be seen. But angel and cute? She shied her head away for a moment, looking at the ground.
It was then Headmaster Tate spoke, saving Nia from hiding her blushes. She slowly glanced across at Raiden, waiting for the result. As she did so, she noticed the runes balances in her hand. Her inquisitive mind might have gone to interpret them if it hadn't been for the first name announced.
"Yayyyyyyyy!" she cheered happily, though she quietened down as Beauxbatons Champion approached. She wasn't really sure what to say to the girl - congratulations didn't seem right. Nor did commiserations. She opted for an encouraging but polite nod, and stepped back slightly, so the Champions could talk.
