Anastasia wasn't bothered by the price of admission to this little charity event. She thought it was a great cause and a wonderful idea, so of course Bellaire received many claps from her when she started the fundraiser-lesson off right.

Hehehehe Minerva's gargoyle was pretty funny. Did they all fall over like that? She should have brought Davie along for the show, he always enjoyed laughing at people.

She was already really nervous excited about getting this circus started, it got worse when the adults started arriving. What if the Gargoyle never listened to her--granted she'd blow it up for it's disobedience but yeah, what if it didn't listen or what if the dragon wasn't behaved??

She was looking at her box when something caught her attention. "Mr. Vinteren!" She GRINNED at him. "You've come to see the show as well??" Now she couldn't removed that overly excited look from her face. She'd have to do her best now. He was here, it was like a rule.

Lex stood to the side and waited until the stage was free at which point she placed both the rock and the stone gargoyle on the floor before her. Her wand was aimed at the gargoyle. "Piertotum Locomotor!" And it came to life with a bounce. Next up her dragon! "Draconifors!"

Before she could legit start though, she needed the area set up just for her. With another flick of her wand and casting of spells she had things floating onto the stage and falling into place where they were meant to be. Had to have everything perfect. One wrong thing and it could throw her babies off significantly.

There! Now she could begin!

"And now! Prepare to be amazed!--Or terrified by the appalling manner in which this performance goes...whichever happens first." GRIN. Really, they'd already paid, they might as well enjoy it.

Okay so that first trick was almost a disaster, but it seemed by some laughter she heard that the audience thought it was part of the show. Alright that was awesome. Beaming towards the audience Minerva went behind the circus arena again. "Now for Grumpy's next trick he is going to walk the tightrope." Every circus needed a tight rope, right? She pulled at the string to make sure it was still sticking. Picking up the little made ladder she had done, Minerva waved her wand over the gargoyle. "Piertotum Locomotor" As the Gargoyle came to life Minerva got excited this was actually fun...


"Walk the tightrope Grumpy" Smiling towards the audience and then eyes back on Grumpy as he looked around. Maybe Grumpy didn't know where the tightrope was, but they had practiced.. Come on little buddy you can do this. Grumpy turned and headed to the ladder and Minerva jumped a bit excited he knew where he was going. Oh.. she shouldn't be acting surprised this was her Gargoyle.


As he headed up the ladder he looked like he was going to slip, "Well folks he is not the most graceful gargoyle around." She was really getting into this now. "Is he going to make it or will he fall." She wasn't even sure. As he started across the little rope Minerva watched. She even bit her lip and cringed as it looked like he was going to fall. No.. don't fall.. don't.. oh good the little Gargoyle made it to the end and turned to go back across. As he went back across and headed down the ladder Minerva looked to the audience. "Give Grumpy a hand ladies and gentlemen.. That's not easy when you're made of stone."

"And now, for the first trick of the evening!" She gave the gargoyle a quick nod and watched it fly over to the hoops. After it secured one in it's hands she aimed her wand. "Incendio!" And the hoop lit. Lex nodded next to the dragon who rose and soared over to the hoop. When it turned to stare at her she gave it a look that said 'get on with it' and cleared her throat.

"Not to worry, the flames won't hurt him. I've checked." And no that wasn't a confession to her playing with fire. NOPE. Explosions were her thing.

The dragon swooped through the hoop once, twice, nearly knocked it from the gargoyles hand but caught himself at the last minute on the third. She held her breath and waited for the trickier part of this first stunt. The gargoyle threw the hoop high into the air then both it and the dragon flew through in one swift motion.

Lex grinned as the hoop fell to the ground with a clatter and watched the two land and take a bow.

She let them have that one moment before clapping and sending them into another act. No time to waste. There were others that still needed their turn.

Minus is slight fear of clowns that was still lingering somewhere in the back of his mind from childhood, Airey was looking forward to the student's display and happily paid the required donation...and then some. 2 galleons had so much more equilibrium than 1 galleon and however many sickles.

Feeling 2 galleons lighter, Airey marched towards a seat with Pebbles tucked under his arm. As per recommendation by the Mr. McCarthy, the astronomer had taken a few liberties and transfigured his pet rock for the occasion. One must be festive for this sort of thing, right?

He watched as a few students got things going and suddenly stood up to clap loudly. "BRAVO BRAVO! ENCORE!"

Could Pebbles play too? She was looking rather excited about the prospect of making lots of stoney friends.

The only problem with moving to the next part of the performance was that she temporarily forgot what it was. Lex looked to the little performers, hoping she'd drilled it into their heads sufficiently enough because if not they'd have to improvise. Nothing really wrong with that, mind you, 'cept the dragon took some time to be intimidated, time she didn't have.

She stood to the side and waited.

...

The gargoyle took hold of the dragon by a hand and a foot then began spinning him. OH RIGHT! Noooow she remembered...and was slowly stepping back. Really the gargoyle had shoddy aim and she was no one's target.

After the fourth spin the dragon was suddenly released and went tumbling, mid-air, into the audience stopping only inches from the Headmistress and turning sharply. He flew back to the gargoyle who gave him such a hard kick that he was propelled back into the audience. After another two kicks the dragon sped back. "Finite!" And the gargoyle went rigid. Just before making contact the dragon curled into a ball and knocked it over like a stray bowling pin.

"Hey, you didn't miss this time!" It wasn't easy hitting into something when you couldn't see where you were tumbling. "I mean...nice shot!"

Well little Wheatborn did a pretty good job with her gargoyle, whether or not it was supposed to be funny, so Bunz gave her a small amount of applause. Not nearly as much applause as Mr. Bravo was doing over there. Seriously, what was WRONG with Flamsteed? Did he want to join in or something?

Bunz turned her attention to the next student to perform... and of course it was Cambridge. Of course. Her eyebrows went up as the girl gave a loud SHOUT-out, emphasis on the shouting, to the History professor. Somebody had a little cruuuuuush, huh? Heheheheee.

Her smirks and giggles were quickly put to the side as Cambridge's gargoyle started her routine though. WAS SHE PLAYING WITH FIRE?! Was that even allowed??!! Annie turned her big eyes on Bellaire, with a look that said I HOPE YOU HAVE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER HANDY, before she resumed her focus on Cambridge. Geez! Just in time, too, as a DRAGON....... thing.......! was flying her way.

"This is a bit much," the Headmistress murmured to herself, as she leaned waaaay back in her chair, as far back as she could. First the snitches, now the animated gargoyles were after her....

Make no mistake, the smirk on her face, it was because of the Headmistress' response to the dragon. No one else seemed to overreact when he nearly flew into them, it was just her. And yeah, the shock from the fire, nooooticed as well. Good thing it went out the moment the hoop hit the ground, right? SHE GOT THIS!! She. Was. Prepaaaared.

Speaking of prepared, it was time to begin the next stunt!!

"Piertotum locomotor!" To get the gargoyle back into action. She took another step back to get a better look. The dragon took three streams of ribbons, the gargoyle another three.

Each tied one end to the little hook on the stage then began an intricate dance. With every skip, hop, jump, turn, twirl, the ribbons became more and more entwined until they formed what looked closely like a REALLY colour piece of fabric.

The dragon swooped to the tied end and snipped it with his teeth then handed it to the gargoyle who proceeded to skip with the dragon swooping in and out, without even once disrupting the skipping that was taking place. At the moment they were perfect in sync, just the way she liked it. Merlin new this stunt had taken them a while.

"Grumpy walk back to the X" Minerva watched as her gargoyle moved to the x that she had in the center of the circus arena. "Now ladies and gentlemen Grumpy has a dance for you." How she wish she had mastered that charm for her Ipad, but she hadn't yet, so she was going to have to sing. She knew exactly what song she was singing and what dance Grumpy was doing. "But first Grumpy needs a costume change." She set down the tutu in front of the stoned gargoyle. "Grumpy put on your tutu please." She watched as the gargoyle slipped into the tutu.


"Now ladies and gentlemen let's give Grumpy some encouragement as he dances his way around the arena." Looking at the gargoyle she smiled, "Grumpy dance to the music." Now it was her turn to sing. "Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty, little ball of fur, Sleepy kitty, Happy Kitty, Purr, Purr, Purr." She continued to sing as the Gargoyle did ballet around the arena. She watched as he Plié and Chasséd around the tent arena.


As she stopped singing the Gargoyle slowed to a stop as well and looked up at her. "Finite" She smiled towards the audience. "How about another round of applause for Grumpy."

Her Performance was coming to a close but she still had a bit to do. With a clap of her hands both the dragon and the gargoyle stopped and the streams of ribbons fell to the floor. "Another brilliant performance and now we move into the next! Dragon taming!!! OooooooooooOOOoOOoooo." Yes the excess noise was important. It was for emphasis on how cool the next act would be...er...she was just hoping the dragon didn't hurt her gargoyle again or vice versa. They seemed to take this stunt particularly serious.

Lex tossed the coiled up whip that she'd been holding for sometime out onto the stage and watched the gargoyle claim it.

The dragon instinctively took a few steps back.

CRACK! The whip sounded and the dragon snarled, craning it's neck forward and snapping at its antagonist. The dragon took flight, circling but the gargoyle wouldn't follow suit. She'd already told him that he wasn't allowed. She watched the dragon swoop down but the gargoyle avoided the attack with one swift move and whipped at it again.

The dragon headed for the air again but not before the gargoyle lunged and fixed himself on it's back.

"Oi! What'd I say earlier?!" But it was too late, both collided with the stage, the whip long forgotten. Were they...was this..."Knock it off!" Couldn't they see that Mr. Vinteren was watchiiiiiing? UGH.

She drew the line when the dragon bit the gargoyle. Last time he did that she spent the afternoon trying to piece him together. No really, they had to stop, it was annoying her. They were making her look bad. Finally when it seemed like she would have parts scattered across the stage again. "Expulso!" Both went out with a BOOM. Lex took a heavy sigh and rubbed her temples before finally facing the audience with a grin. Everything could be played off with a grin.

Lex walked to the centre of the stage and took a bow. "Hope you enjoyed the...er...performance!" BEAM. Then she quickly grabbed her things and hurried off the stage.

Oh Merlin, okay, it was Ella's turn to go. The blonde took a deep breath and began setting up her little circus ring, placing Bobby G towards the back so he'd be ready for his entrance. She placed her special rock!dragon off to the side too because she'd be using that later. Y'know, as a sort of finale thing. Yeah, she was sort of winging this. She'd taught Bob the gargoyle all sorts of neat tricks but as for entertaining people, well she wasn't quite sure everyone would be as amused by him as she was. Here's hoping though, yeah?

Ahem.

"Hello everyone, I'm Ella Bishop. Today I'll be showing off the lovely, the talented, BOBBBBBBB the GARGOYLEEEEEEEE!" Dramatic pause for applause and stuff. She even applauded a bit herself to get people going. Come on, guys, enthusiasm! "We've been working really hard to put together a show for you and I hope you're prepared to be dazzled...and not just by Bob's vest! We lint rolled and everything, Professor Airey!" Wink! We see you, Professor! Might as well play to the crowd, yeah? Super-Beamy-Beam face! And with her wand, the blonde made a slight wave and said quietly "Piertotum Locomotor!"

Suddenly, Bob sprung to life and thank goodness! The blonde flashed a relieved smile to the gargoyle before saying, "Welcomeeeee Bob to the ring! ...Roll into the center, Bob." And the little gargoyle somersaulted into the center of the ring with ease. Grin! "Stand up, Bob." And he did that too! Obedient little guy, Bob was.

Now for the first trick...

Yes, Mr. Vinteren was watching. What else would he be doing here in the back? He gave Alexa a nod of support when she started her performance and applauded in all the right places, and for the other performance that had gone before her as well. Bravo, well done, etc.

The best part of the show, though, was when Alexa used the spell he had taught her. Ha ha. He actually smiled broadly to see the gargoyle explode. "Well done," the man mouthed at the Gryffindor. That trick was going to be hard to top...good luck to the Hufflepuff Captain going next.

The people entering weren't really getting much Alice attention paid to the- OH HI PROFESSOR VINTEREN, she tried not to stare, but his face was SO PRETTY. Forcing herself to look away from the eye candy, she searched for a new face to focus on.. Botros! He got enthusiastic waves from her until the stage was free for her turn. Was the pretty professor watching? Was he? Could he SEE her?

Alice didn't want to see him, swooning wasn't really going to help her circus out.

Rock and gargoyle on the floor before her, she started casting her spells. First off was the lil' statue. "Piertotum Locomotor!" And that right there was how making an inanimate object come to life was done, everyone. Next up was her dragon, she got one of those 'cause she was such a good kid, see? Surprising, Alice was still awaiting that muzzle from the professor, not any extra class perks. But still, she'd take it. "Draconifers!"

And then there was a MINI DRAGON GRRRR WERE THEY SCARED? BE SCARED.

"If this performance goes wrong, we can blame it on the faulty materials given to us by our lovely Transfiguration professor." Toothy grin for you, audience folk. "And if it goes right, it was all me, okay?" Totally was.

Professor Bellaire was semi pleased with the turn out. Hmm..she was used to making a lot of money at charity events and this just would not do...perhaps she should have used the Prophet to announce this event.

Maybe that would have been too much...maybe.

The headmistress got a nod and so did the other random viewers and the Bog member. Very nice your presence was well noted.

The students were doing an excellent job too, until Miss Cambridge blew up the gargoyle. She received a frown.

What did Miss Fischer say?

"That will be 30 points from Gryffindor Miss Fischer." And she was dead serious.

Right so.... circus. West hadn't had the chance to practice for a while to be honest, because Quidditch had been the focus but also for girlfriend reasons. ANYWAY he at least had figured all the spells out and whatnot. He was confident in what he could do with it all, even draconifors which technically hadn't been taught in class... he'd just been given a rock. Which... did the professor know you could just go outside and pick up a rock from anywhere? Yes? Good. So anyways, he had a rock. And also A gargoyle. And a circus tent. He was getting ready for his turn, and spent some time double checking all his equipment, including the jester outfit which his gargoyle was wearing. He also had the juggling gear all ready too. Hidden away in the tent. It was ALL hidden in the tent because no peeking until it was showtime and all that.

It was almost time.

And she was just about to start, when..

... thirty points? Thirty? Really?

Someone was obviously still sour about teeth marks and losing to children. Obviously. That was it. The Headmistress was there, right? Did she see that incompetent, GRUDGE-HOLDING instructor? Did she see who she was HIRING to teach her classes? Honestly, if she had a knut for every ounce of dumb in a professor, Alice could buy Hogwarts.

"... it was a joke, professor. My apologies."

She was waiting for her points back before starting. Ahem.

Well? Maybe five. But thirty. Bellaire couldn't be serious.

Marigold walked nervously to the arena. After a quick set up of her props-some balls and other objects-she got ready.

"Piertotum locomotor," she said boldly. Her gargoyle immediately became alive. She turned to the audience. "HI EVERYONE! My first act is to have my gargoyle here-" Pause for dramatic effect. "JUMP ROPE!" She gave her gargoyle a tiny piece of rope, then nodded. The gargoyle started skipping rope, on one foot, two, faster and slower, then turning around. She then pointed. Her gargoyle dropped the rope and went towards the next prop. "Can I have a big hand for my GARGOYLE!" She hoped she earned a little applause.

Minerva took a breather for a few seconds. Getting the gargoyle to do tricks was hard, wasn't it ? She moved the stone creature back in the center and removed the tutu from him. This time placing a handmade gymnast outfit on him. "For his next trick, Grumpy is going to do the balance beam." She moved a paper balance beam that was supported by spoons in front of the circus tent. Yes this would hold Grumpy she had tested it out. She promised she wouldn't hur the gargoyle, not on purpose at least.

Pulling her wand, ""Piertotum Locomotor" She watched as the Gargoyle came to life and looked at her. Always so grumpy looking this one. She smiled down at it. "Grumpy could you please do your balance beam act." She pointed towards the balance beam.

The gargoyle walked over to the balance beam stuck one hand up like at a competition. He then got up on the balance beam a little clumsily. Standing on the beam he walked across, turned, headed back and did a cart wheel landing perfectly. Minerva clapped for him just as excited to see him succeed as she was the first time he did it without falling. He then turned and went to do a back handspring when he crashed onto the table and then to the floor. "NOOOOOOOO" She hurried, "Finite" Picking him up and checking him over.. "Gymnastics can be a horribly dangerous sports ladies and gentlemen, but I think Grumpy will be fine. Let's give him a round of applause just for a great effort."

And it was West's turn.

He went on up to the front with his circus tent and placed it in the center. In silence he gave the top of the tent a tap and the front rolled up neatly, revealing the circus ring which was green around the edges with a pale sawdust appearance in the middle which was actually firm rather than soft, even if it looked to be sawdust. The ring was surrounded by miniature seats. The tent fabric itself was stripey green and silver, with two little flags sprouting at the top.

His gargoyle stood at the ready in the center of the ring, wearing a little vest and most importantly a jester hat which matched its stage. At its feet were several bonbon candies .

He waved his wand, focusing on the gargoyle. "Piertotum Locomotor!" the gargoyle gave a little shudder and then bowed and waited for instructions, the tiny bells on his tiny jester hat jingled and then stilled.

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Pretty much everyone." West addressed the audience. "By now you know what to expect: its a gargoyle, it does stuff."

So yeah.

"So lets watch it do stuff."

Ahem.

"Gargoyle," Because he hadn't named it and had no intentions of naming it, "Juggle three bonbons." The gargoyle straightened up and with a flick of one paw tossed one bonbon in the air, it did the same right away with two more and then as each of the three came back down the gargoyle caught it neatly in its paw and began to juggle, alternating paw to paw with the three bonbons.

Good start.

Okay, okay. It was HIS turn, yes...Dylan was ready to GO! He had stuff and treats in store for the audience as he finally got out of his seat and made his way towards the front of the room. He'd wanted to dress for the occasion...but knew how strict Professor Bellaire was about dress code and forgot about it. It was a shame, really. The Slytherin had acquired a top hat and a lion tamer's coat just for the show.

Anyway.

Once he was in front of everyone, the hefty bag of things in tow...Dylan spoke up. "Ladies and Gentleman! Welcome to the grandest show this side of the North Sea." Adding some grand gestures in there to make it flashy..."Today I've orchestrated an unfortunate series of events for my Gargoyle, appropriately named Gi Abi Goon." He Started setting things up on the table, pulling the grey gargoyle first...and getting him into place...He still wore his cute little vest with the blue buttons Dylan had made for him in the last lesson. "To ensure this will be entertaining....I have duplicated my gargoyle...creating Darth Gargy." Dylan then pulled the second gargoyle that had been charmed black to resemble a Sith Lord, now also dressed in a black cape. He joined the 'Jedi' on the table. "Now...for anyone familiar with muggle things...it might seem obvious what I'm about to orchestrate...BUT FEAR NOT. We have something special joining the pair that should make this very entertaining indeed!" Dylan was using his PUMP UP THE CROWD voice as he pulled the rock from his bag last...setting it behind the two gargoyles.

Then he was whipping out his wand.

"Draconifors!" The Captain slashed his wand down towards the rock, focused and concentrated as it molded and melded into a golden-colored dragon...To add to the effect he was going for, he quickly brought it to life with "Piertotum Locomotor!" The dragon sprung to life...snarling small flames a few times...but otherwise remaining in place and harmless. Good. That's what Dylan wanted...

"Are you READY?!"

Seriously, WHO was stoked?! He was stoked! BAM.

So far so good. West watched the gargoyle juggle, so far he was keeping it nice and simple so that worked. Didn't want to mess up. He had his wand at the ready but so far the spell was lasting and he didn't need to restore it. So yay.

"Gargoyle, add another bonbon and juggle four." He instructed imperiously. The gargoyle flipped a fourth bonbon into the air without missing a beat and continued juggling.

Yeah that's right a stone gargoyle was juggling four bonbons. That was how it was done. Oh he should say that.

"And that's how its done ladies and gentleman! Even gargoyles can juggle! Should we get him to add another?" He cupped his ear as if waiting for someone to yell encouragement. Because... you know, this was so exciting and whatever. West grinned at the audience and waggled his brows. "Oh you twisted my arm, audience. Lets see what he can do."

And see if West's concentration could hold out. This wasn't THAT easy.

"Gargoyle." West ordered it, "Pick up another bonbon and juggle all five." It dipped a little and quickly scooped another bonbon and West watched as it juggled all five of the treats in the air, balancing back on its haunches and using its front paws to quickly pass each bonbon in loops.

So far so good.

First things first...Dylan dipped down into his bag again and pulled out the two mini!light sabers he'd had the gargoyles practice with. Yep...the Captain couldn't really be bothered with silly circus stuff. He'd wanted his show to have REAL entertainment value...In fact, to add to the mood, he'd also set up candles, lighting them with the tip of his wand. It was about to get MORTAL COMBAT up in here...but Jedi!style. Sorta kinda.

Right. He made all the sense.

"If any of you are familiar with Sith Lords and Jedis, you'll know what's about to go down...BUT THIS TIME...these two..." Gi Abi Goon and Garth Gargy..."...will be dodging a FIRE BREATHING DRAGON." RAWWWWWR! To emphasis the point, the dragon...who he was deciding to lovingly name Ragarous...breathed a small flame. Thank you, Ragarous.

He quickly "Piertotum Locomotor!" the two gargoyles, who immediately stood at attention. "Men...take your positions!" The gargoyles grabbed at the two tiny, lighted light-sabers, clutching them tightly in their little gargoyles hands...and then they both walked to opposite ends of the table, but a distance away from the lit candles. The dragon, Ragarous, chilled in between the two, awaiting command...

It was time.

"Goon and Gargy...Fight maneuver ONE." They'd trained for this...and by his command, the two charged one another, the small plastic of the toy light-sabers clinking in an almost pathetic way as they met in the center. He'd been working out things to call different maneuvers and positions so that he could control them...and the dragon at the same time...and be able to safely manage all the things. He didn't want anyone getting hurt...and this was his first time doing anything like this with others physically around. It was a rare sight indeed with Dylan nerded out.

"Ragarous! Take flight." By his word, the golden dragon started working his wings...gaining the power and strength to finally lift himself up in the air. Good dragon! "Attack Goon and Gargy...playfully." Meaning...don't actually try and hurt them...

The two gargoyles continued their pseudo!JEDI fight, but stopped after a few more steps. Right. "Goon...Jedi maneuver white.....Gargy...Sith attack blue." Once again, Dylan had named things for reasons. Gi Abi Goon immediately cut a backflip, his light-saber staying miraculously in hand as Darth Gargy charged again, slashing his own light-saber out and almost cutting across the first gargoyle's middle. Goon backed up, whipping the plastic weapon with Jedi!skill...and Gargy worked his like a baton!

Meanwhile, the dragon remained in flight...darting to and fro, shooting tiny sparks and flames at the unsuspecting gargoyles below...

"Well I don't know about all of you but I'm getting hungry." Hungry for bonbons that was. West lay down on the ground in front of the little tent and gargoyle, and tipped his head back.

"Gargoyle, feed me!" West commanded and opened his mouth. The gargoyle tossed one of the bonbons in a perfect arc through the air... and it landed in West's mouth and he put both fists in the air in celebration, one grasping his wand. Yussss.

He sat up. "Mmmmm that bonbon is GOOD." He said around the mouthful of chewy candy.

"Who will be brave enough to have a go? This gargoyle's got good aim, so open your mouth wide if you want a bonbon!" Any takers? West scanned the audience.

"Fear not you beautiful and lovely audience!...They've been trained in the way of the Jedi...and Sith Lord, if you will." Dylan spoke out to the crowd as the two gargoyles came to rest again...That was the one bad thing about it all. He had to continue giving them orders...and they couldn't just continuous work and do the whole choreographed thing on their own.

Yep, it was TOTES choreographed. That was how the Slytherin Captain rolled.

"Goon...Jedi attack green and Gargy...Sith maneuver gray." He smirked as they switched up...The attacker now being the one on the run. From his position basically backed up against the almost!edge of the table, Gi Abi Goon came out swinging, continuing to work his Jedi!weapon with Jedi!precision. He stepped towards Darth Gargy with purpose as the Gargoyle!Sith Lord continued to go on the defense. He rolled backwards, narrowly missing the saber tip that zipped across his face. Gargy kicked up, catching Goon in the chin...and sending him flying back...His light saber clattering to the table top as he landed hard on his stomach.

"Dun dun dun dun DUN dun...dun DUN dun..." Yep, just providing sounds effects and such to enhance the mood. THE STAR WARS MOOD.

Heh, Dylan was a nerd. All was well.

"Shake that off, Goon. Get up..." He was abusing these gargoyles...but they'd be totally fine. He was convinced. Meanwhile, Ragarous was taking this opportunity to spit tiny flames at the fallen Jedi...Well, it was true what they said. You snooze...you get burned...or something. "Ragarous, focus on Darth Gargy..." So the other dude could get his bearings and back on his feet. Poor Goon.

"Aren't they both Such valiant warriors, folks?!" Excitement colored the Slytherin's voice. He personally thought this was going swimmingly.

Finally, his Jedi had gotten back on his feet and Gargy was running from a dragon attack. Lulz. Dylan took a moment to laugh outright. "Ragarous, that's enough...Go back to focusing on them both...playfully." He was stressing the PLAYFULLY part. He was not condoning violence in the classroom or whatever. DISCLAIMER, you see...

Ahem.

"Can I get some applause for them both?!"

Minerva set the little gargoyle down a bit embarrassed of his last fall. She didn't want the little thing hurt. She had become found of it over the term. She took off the gymnast outfit and gave him a bow tie. His little costume changes were her favorite. Looking up at the audience and giving them a huge smile Minerva did a wand movement, but it wasn't to bring the Gargoyle to life. "Orchideous" A bouquet of flowers appeared out of her wand and she broke it apart so there were single flowers. Laying them on the floor near the table, she stood and smiled.


"Now for Grumpy's next trick, he is going to skip around the room handing out flowers to our wonderful audience to thank all of you for coming." Waving her wand over the little Gargoyle, " Piertotum Locomotor" As Grumpy came to life again Minerva smiled down at the grumpy little thing. "Grumpy fix your tie please." She watched as he straightened his bow tie making sure it was in place. "Oh Grumpy fix your hair." The gargoyle reached up moving the clown wig around.


"Now Grumpy" Minerva walked over and picked up the Gargoyle, who seemed not phased by this from practicing so much. Setting him down on the floor she smiled towards him. "Grumpy I think it's time to thank our audience. Please take the flowers to them." She watched as he picked up one flower and skipped off into the darkness where the audience was. Coming back empty handed she could only assume he gave the flower away. She watched as one by one he picked up the flowers and skipped off. Finally skipping back empty handed for the last time. "Finite" She picked up the stone creature and set him back on the table.
