What's that interrupting some of the castles beloved stairways? Are those the sound of engines roaring? Why, is that a GO-KART TRACK?! Oh, yes, it is! The track created by your Prefects has surrounded the Hogwarts staircases, floor by floor, and top to bottom and back to top again. Beginning up on the seventh floor, a bright banner confirms that you have indeed arrived at the grand “Go-Kart Race” of 2084.
The start line has a bunch of strategically placed karts for you to jump in and ZOOOOOOM off in, so long as you buckle yourself in and don't turn into a maniac behind the wheel. The karts are all identical in their features, some have a little more leg room for students on the lanky side, and some with less for those on the shorter side. (Equally accommodating, aren't we?) You have ONE lap to overtake your fellow students in this need for speed.
Alas, if you thought this would be a simple ride, you can go elsewhere: the track has a handful of obstacles in your way. Will your wheels get stuck in one of the sticking spells in your way? However will you get out? How about that puddle on the fifth floor? How deep do you think that is? And how about the fake finish line on your way back up to the seventh floor that disappears JUST as you cross the line? The screaming group of fans on the second floor could be as much an ego boost as it is could distract you!
Will the black and white checkered flag confirm YOUR cross over the finish line?

Naturally, as Head of House, Josephina had to make an appearance at the Prefect Event even if she'd never been much of a sporty person or even a plant-loving person. The chilling out area would have probably been the place she'd have spent most of the time supervising the students had this little track hadn't caught her attention in her periphery. Go-Karts. And she had to wonder if her lesson on muggle transportation last term been inspiration for this event....
Making her way over towards the Go-Kart area, she nodded politely at several of her students, but directed her attention at her Prefect mostly (and Cassie too technically, by default_ "So Miss Robertser, this Go-Kart thing? Am I too late to join in your race?" She totally could do this with her eyes closed.

Of course he was winning. The boy had lived for Mario Kart so he had all his techniques down. How to manuever, when to put lots of gas or back off from it. Granted this wasn't a video game but it was close to it.
At last though, Grayson had caught up to Tag and he shook his head angrily. First he'd managed to pass him by when Tag had gone crazy driving, but then managed to catch up to Tag, even though the blonde had cut him off at the turn. This wasn't supposed to happen. This wasn't supposed to be a close even race. Something had to happen to Grayson to set him back.
"I know the race isn't over..." said the not so short anymore Gryffindor, his eyes dead straight in front of him, you know, not getting distracted and focusing on the course. "If only I could use use my wand." But it was prohibited.
Then Tag saw it, up ahead, because he was focused on the corridor than Grayson, that water puddle. This time he made a wide turn, completely missing it, but when he looked over his shoulder he saw Grayson had driven right into it and was dripping in water. Tag smirked to himself, even let out a short, "Ahahaha", but in his short moment of crazy turning, and being distracted by Grayson, the blonde slammed in between the legs of a stone bench against the wall of the corridor. The boy tried to go in reverse but his tires were somewhat stuck within the little space of the legs, the tires gently nudging against them, in whichever direction Tag turned them.
He was hoping he'd get out of his misfortune before Grayson did.
If only he could use magic? SNORT. "YEAH! It would be dead useful to use some magic for this. Would get is out of a lot of sticky situations, I bet." Like the one they were currently in. Or the one HE was in because he didn't care about whatever was happening over with the blonde one. HE was the one who had water dropping from his hair. Grayson reached up a hand and tried to wipe at his eyes to see what was--
OH FOR MERLIN'S SAKE. Why was the go-kart going downwards instead of forwards? How DEEP was this body of water, anyways? The laughter from the Gryffindor rang in his ears, making him scowl. Jeez, if it was someone he got along with, he wouldn't mind what was happening to him. But no! Oh noooOOOOooooo! It had to be this--
LOOOOOOOOOOOOL!
Oh man! OH MAN! Now it was his turn to laugh. "Looks like some of us have got themselves into a sticky situation." LOLOLOL! He was oh-so-Whitty. The fourth year shook his head and tried to drive forwards but all the wheels of his go-kart were spinning round and round without accelerating. Or not accelerating by much. Come ON, he had a sassy person to beat!
Moving......... slowly............ very very slowly..........
"Yo!" Tag or Hopscotch or whatever. "You sure we can't use magic?" And if they did, would anyone find out? HMMMMM?

"Yo!" Tag or Hopscotch or whatever. "You sure we can't use magic?" And if they did, would anyone find out? HMMMMM?
"Yeah, I bet." Tag said from where he was stuck. Still trying to go in reverse but not being very successful due to his go kart being as stubborn as a hippogriff and not giving Tag a break. C'mon go kart! Didn't it know Tag had a race to breeze through and win to brag off to Grayson Shirt Boy? It should.
The blonde was too busy to notice what had stalled Grayson. Getting out of water seemed easier than the situation Tag had gotten himself into, but to this very second Tag had not seen Grayson pass him yet. Good, that means, ironically enough, that the race was still fair. Tag began to wonder if getting up to move his kart and free it would be considered as 'cheating'. But, what if he got it out from the bench and placed it directly where he had crashed? Facing the corridor obviously, but that was the idea, set it up evenly to the spot he'd crashed.
All right. He was risking it. The boy got off his kart and pulled it away from the bench and tried to align it straight as best as he could from where he had crashed. There, now his kart was facing the corridor. During Tag's time of fixing up his kart he looked behind himself and saw that Grayson was pretty much drowning. No, that was an exaggeration, but he was deep in that water. Yep, Tag laughed though. No pun though, but, "Seems like someone's relationship is sinking faster than the iceberg and the Titanic." Ba-dum PSH! "It wasn't a sticky situation. It was a no escape situation." Literal Tag was literal.
"No. We can't. So hurry up. I'll wait on you. Even to be fair with this race." said Tag. So like, hurry up, yeah? Also, he got back into his go kart but waited there, for Grayson. Yeah, he was keeping this race fair.

Biting at her lower lip once again she looked over at Dylan as he was trying to tell her they were safe. Josie couldn't help but admit, it did look like everyone else was having fun on the track. What was the worst that could happen? Of course, aside from the fact that something could go wrong with the go-kart like it could possibly blow up or something? But aside from that, yes it did look like fun. Once he finished speaking she couldn't help but feel a little relived to hear him say that they could go together. She pursed her lips a little bit before nodding twice, "T-That would be okay...I-If you wanted to I mean..You d-don't have to, if you don't want to.."
Dylan smiled, waving a hand. "Don't be silly, Josie. I'd be more than happy to take you." He told her with a firm nod. It was true, he didn't wanna go out there alone...and who else better to have go with than Josie? "C'mon then, let's go see if we can find a kart." he then told her as he led her closer to where the karts were.

The Hufflepuff immediately berated himself for his thoughts just in time for Ethan to mention Ella.
Ella.
Just like that, Toby's face split into a wide grin and he glanced at the parchment Ethan was waving around. A letter? Probably.
"Ella, huh?" the fifteen year old practically beamed at the mention of the older girl, his basically-big-sister. "She told you about me?" Ella, bringing people together even when she wasn't even here. That made sense on so many levels. "Sure, we're definitely friends," Toby said enthusiastically. Any friend of Ella's, after all. "You can call me Tobias, I don't mind at all."
Oh yeah, racing. Got a little bit distracted there, as per usual. Toby looked around at the other students in Go-Karts, the prefects in particular, and wondered if perhaps they would explain when they were to set off, or it they could go whenever.
"I'm not sure," he said thoughtfully, looking back to Ethan again and giving a shrug as his fingers tapped rhythmically on his steering wheel. "I suppose we'll know if they start driving," Toby added, gesturing his head towards the prefects and that one professor.
“Yeah she did. She sent me a green scarf. She knows about this extra cold weather we’re having.” Ethan nodded as he fixed the scarf Ella gave him. “You guys are close too? She’s awesome yeah? I’ve known her since I was nine.” The Slytherin tilted his head and rested his hand on the wheel. “All right-o. Tobias it is. I really wish my parents named me with a cooler name…” he smiled and was distracted by the roar of the engines.
Wait whaaaaaaat. O____________O
They’re starting! Ethan caught sight of Grayson racing after some older student. Also Simon and Adi! The Slytherin fumbled with the engine switch, let his own engine roar and gave Toby an excited/panicked smile. “The game is ooooooooooooooooonnnnnn!!!!!” Ethan accidentally stepped on the throttle pedal and his kart went off with great speed.
“TOBIIIIAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!”

What could he do now?
Before he time to answer that question, his blue eyes widened when he saw the whole floor up ahead glistened with water and a little bit of ice?
SWEET MOTHER OF MERLIN--- !
"ADI! ADI! ICE," he shouted and broke a little, hoping that Adi would hear his cries.
OH YEAH! Adi was catching up with new bud Simon. Not even that puddle had slowed him down. Could this thing go faster? He floored the gas pedal a bit more and the kart shot forward a little. Cool! LOOK OUT, SIMON! The lead was about to become the Hufflepuff's! Hehe.
But-but- what? Was someone shouting? Was it Simon? Over the roar of engines it was difficult to tell but he could definitely hear shouting. Adi squinted at Simon. Yep. The dude's mouth was moving. Why and what in the world was that all about? O_o
Without realising what he was doing, Adi slowed his cart by stepping on the brake. He could hear his name. And what was that? Mice? "MICE?" he shouted back at the Slytherin? What were mice doing there?

And Adi was almost right next to him. Simon continued to slow down a bit further but Adi kept on going faster. He scrunched his nose and furrowed his brows when Adi shouted back at him. He didn't really quite catch it over the noises that the engines were making. Wait. What had Adi said? Had his Hufflepuff mate said 'Nice?' "NO! ICE's NOT NICE! IT'S HORRIBLE!!" he shouted back but his voice was consumed by the growling of the engine. He tried again. "ICE!!!! I. C. E. SLIPPERY STUFF!"
By the time he had said the last sentence, Simon felt the bumper car lose traction and he was sliding a little bit over to the right wall. The boy started to flail about until he realized that he really couldn't do anything at all. "ICE!" he yelled one last time. "ISA!" Maybe saying the Ancient Rune would help? He was hoping that Adi would get that.
Stop. Panicking.
Simon held the wheel lightly and continued zooming across the ice. He was in for one interesting go kart ride...
Too nice? Wait.. what? Too nice for cake? “Too nice for cake?” Józsua was puzzled. “How can you be too nice for cake. Nice people deserve cake.” Surely. Where was the logic there, Olly? He wrinkled his nose at the strong stomach comment. So much for that plan.
Ahh.. See Olly was a true Hufflepuff at heart. Sharing food was one of the nicest things you could do, Józsua thought. He opened his mouth as instructed and took a nice big bite. Chewing, he smiled at Olly. Yummy.“That is good cake.” He said with his mouth full.
..Why had they left the food to do this again?
He guessed the sooner they got in the go-karts, the sooner they could be back to the food. He tapped Olly on the shoulder, getting her attention and silently telling her that he wanted to race now. He selected a go-kart and hopped in.
"Come on, Olly.”
Nice people deserve cake.
Józsua should've had THAT tattooed on his body somewhere. It sounded very wise. And accurate. Not that she was agreeing with him. Not verbally anyway. Plus, it was beside the point she was trying to make. "No, not too nice for cake. You're just too nice. Period." To certain people. Like Cassia. People who didn't deserve it.
"Take it from a Hufflepuff." They were supposed to be the nice ones, or so she'd heard.
Maybe she really WAS a true Hufflepuff though, seeing as the next thing she did was give him some of her cake. She nodded, agreeing with his statement as she divided the rest of her piece of cake into two - more or less - equal parts. Without prior warning she shoved one half of the cake into Józsua's mouth. IF he'd had the presence of mind to open his mouth. If he hadn't, then it was now in his face.
Finishing off the cake, Olly's gaze had briefly drifted off to the other people around them but was soon back on the Slytherin boy next to her when he tapped her shoulder. Right. Go-karts. She followed him over to the start line, selected the one next to Józsua's, put on her seatbelt and.......just drove off. "Come on, Józsua!" She echoed his words with smirk on her lips, turning her head to look over her shoulder.

He bet. He bet alright. Grayson was RIGHT, of course. If they could use magic, they wouldn't be in this predicament for much longer. One swish and ZOOOOOOOOOOOM, they'd be away. But NO.
............. Wait. What?
WHAT?
WHAT IN THE FREAKING NAME OF MERLIN?!
"Are you even ALLOWED to do that?" Get out from his kart to get his kart away from the obstacle he had been in? Not that Grayson would blab, of course. He wasn't a snitch. He wouldn't tell on the boy, which was something that the boy should APPRECIATE, thank you. This one could have gone and told someone and he would had to back out of the race. But, of course, that'd mean that Grayson wouldn't have anyone to race with and he didn't want that. Besides, this was actually fun.
If the sassy blonde one could read minds, he should keep whatever he had just read to HIMSELF, thank you.
And he WAS drowning. HMPH. The water couldn't get enough of him, it seemed. The fourth year shot the seventh year a LOOK at his words. "Oh HAR HAR! Iceberg. Titanic. Sinking! You think you're soooOOOOooo funny, don't you?" Freaking dancing Gryffindor. He was going to use this as MOTIVATION to SHOW this kid that he wasn't going to give up and sink. Nuh uh. SO, being smart, Grayson used his hands to try and swim towards the edge of the water while his feet pulled his kart along. It was a long journey and he was getting tired before he had even made it very far. This was trickier than it looked, you know?
When he DID come out, Grayson tried his best to look cool about it. He was soaked and everything from the hair to his toes were wet but he didn't care. He. Looked. COOL. Got it, Hopscotch?
And speaking of Hopscotch, the Slytherin got into his kart once again and drove up to where the Gryffindor was. "Nice of you to be fair about this. Thank you." Pause.
More pausing.
"YOU SNOOZE, YOU LOSE!" he belted before pressing down on the pedal and zooooooooooooooming off again.

"YOU SNOOZE, YOU LOSE!" he belted before pressing down on the pedal and zooooooooooooooming off again.
Tag simply shrugged at Grayson's words. Was he allowed to do that? No one knew, to be honest. But at least Tag was being nice and not going forward and leaving Grayson in the dust while he tried to free himself of the water. "I don't know. I do what I want. I go by nobody's rules. Not even my own." was Tag's reply. Not true though, he usually followed rules. But, in a moment like this, it just sounded smart and cool to say, especially in front of Grayson shirt boy. Someone needed to tell him bopping collars wasn't COOL.
The blonde watched Grayson make comments about Tag's humor. "Of course I'm funny. Thank you!" BEAM! If Grayson wanted to bring Tag's mood down or something he would need to try a little bit harder. Then... Grayson was doing things. At long last. Tag let out a sigh, but watched Grayson slowly return from the depths of the water. Very. Very. Very. Slowly.
Finally. The race could continue once again. "You're welcome." Tag simply said. Never in a million years did he think he'd have to say 'you're welcome' to a Slytherin. Correction, male slytherin. More correction, Mr. Shirt boy over here. And then... of course. It was too good to be true.
Sighing, Tag said, "There's still a lot of the race left!" before he pressed his foot on the pedal and sped after Grayson.
It seemed that Tag's collision had really damaged his kart because he was really really behind Grayson. Like, the Slytherin almost looked like a big dot to Tag from where he was racing. You know what would be perfect right now? A banana to throw in front of Grayson. Or one of those red shells that followed the go-karts. Or, even that lightening bolt that made the racers little for a minute or two....
Wait... Oh, this wasn't Mario Kart. This was magic go-kart racing. You know, without being able to use any magic at all.

Er, excuse me but just WHAT?! The goody two shoes was a RULE BREAKER? Was he freaking serious right now? Because according to this fourth year, the Gryffindor was someone who played by the rules at all times because that was the right thing to do and prevents people from getting hurt or whatever. And he lived to please people. But THIS?! "Didn't peg you as the type to be a rule breaker." SMIRK. "And are you always this sassy or is today a special day?" Swear to Merlin, Grayson wouldn't be surprised if this kid even had a sassy walk to match that sassy demeanour of his.
That wasn't a GOOD thing. HELLO?! Whatever. He could let the boy believe what it is he wanted to believe. "You're welcome. Maybe you should consider a job in stand up comedy." It was certainly a good way to entertain people. And he could do a special number where he danced for the public, too.
Oh Grayson, you smart boy.
There was still a lot of the race left? PSH. He knew that. But right now, Grayson was the one who was winning so SUCKS FOR YOU, HOPSCOTCH. Turning around in his seat, he SMIRKED at the distance between the two of them. HA! Look who was behind! "Come on, give me a bit of competition. Suuuuuurely, you could do better than that!" He was baiting the kid, of course. Because Grayson DID like a bit of competition. One were he could win, obviously.
Having been looking at Tag the entire time, Grayson hadn't been paying attention to where his kart was going. Hadn't anticipated that it was flying straight towards a wall. Nope. He had been entirely set on mocking the blonde seventh year so..............
OOMPH!
"NOOOOOOOOO!" he cried as his kart started spinning round and round and completely out of his control. He turned his attention back towards the front, mumbling a few choice words here and there while he tried to get his kart to STOP FREAKING SPINNING.
“Yeah she did. She sent me a green scarf. She knows about this extra cold weather we’re having.” Ethan nodded as he fixed the scarf Ella gave him. “You guys are close too? She’s awesome yeah? I’ve known her since I was nine.” The Slytherin tilted his head and rested his hand on the wheel. “All right-o. Tobias it is. I really wish my parents named me with a cooler name…” he smiled and was distracted by the roar of the engines.
Wait whaaaaaaat. O____________O
They’re starting! Ethan caught sight of Grayson racing after some older student. Also Simon and Adi! The Slytherin fumbled with the engine switch, let his own engine roar and gave Toby an excited/panicked smile. “The game is ooooooooooooooooonnnnnn!!!!!” Ethan accidentally stepped on the throttle pedal and his kart went off with great speed.
“TOBIIIIAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!”
"Yeah, we're close," Toby grinned. "She's basically my big sister." Not literally, of course. But in everything but blood. There was something super awesome about now meeting someone who'd known her for so long, too, but Toby couldn't place it. What he DID know, however, was that someone who was so close to Ella was definitely good in his books.
As for his name? Toby let out a little laugh. "If you think that's interesting, you should hear my full name."
But there was no time for that. No sooner had Ethan fumbled for his own ignition switch than had Toby scrambled to do the same. He met his new friend's smile with a grin of his own, but not for long, as soon Ethan was going, going... still going, and at rapid speed.
It was hard to hold back a childish giggle as Toby, in turn, slammed down his own accelarator pedal and shot off only a few seconds later.
Wow, these things WERE fast. But at this point, at least, Toby just wanted to catch up with Ethan and make sure he wasn't, y'know, about to die or anything. It took a few seconds of weaving down the corridor, gently picking up speed, for Tobias to get used to the controls.
"Y'alright, buddy?" the Hufflepuff called over the roaring of all the engines in the race. He still hadn't managed to catch up with Ethan, but he was hopefully getting there.

"C'mon then, let's go see if we can find a kart." he then told her as he led her closer to where the karts were.
Josie smiled feeling slightly more relieved when he'd said he'd be happy to take. That way at least she wouldn't have to worry about crashing these loud go-karts or something. In response she nodded to his statement as they started looking for an open go-kart. She gasped pointing to one as she spoke softly, "I-I think I see an open one.."
Without thinking, she began to shuffle her feet in the direction of the open go-kart.
Kace was excited to do go-karting! This is one of the events he was looking forward to. His adrenaline was kicking in. He was smiling and grinning non stop. He heard the karts engines and was prepared for this. As he looked towards his right, he noticed a girl was standing there by her lonesome. She was still walking up the stairs. Man there were a lot of stairs. He tried to keep up with the girl and asked her, "Do you need someone to race with?"
One hundred and what was it now? OH right. She didn't care she just wanted to reach the LAST one thank you very much for the gazillion stairs. ALMOST there and with some company apparently? Alrighty.
A beam was worn at the older fourth year, Kace was it? She'd heard about him before. "Yeah sure, why not. Let's see what you got?" Her GAME face was totally at it's best.
No was he ready to get beaten like a boss?
The third year eventually made it to the last stair and then gazed about at the cars. Now, now. Eyes, eyes on my face which is the best go kart in this race? ...Um...well which one would make her look most BOSS then? HMMMM?

There was this one place where she hadn't dropped by. After everyone joined that is, she's seen the place when it was set and all. But curiosity got the better of her and she was eager to see how was the part of the even. That was one reason, though. The other one was so simple. Go-karts!
And she wasn't here alone, she walked with Lex to the staircases where the track was. In the way, students were heading from and to the track. It was good seeing people having fun and all. She was having fun herself.
Once they got to the track, the snake nodded approvingly and glanced at Alexa, "Let's picks us some decent karts," Though as far as she knew they were all the same. But you know, making a deal out of it.
Walking over to one of the karts, Cassia passed her fellow prefects and flashed them a smile. "T'sup, guys," And into the kart she went. She straightened and gripped the wheel squinting ahead. This was going to be fun.
Did Lex choose a go-kart yet?

Kace was glad the girl accepted his request. "The name is Kace.." he said holding out his hand for her to shake his hand. It would be a friendly match that is for sure. As he made it to the last stair and gazed at all the go karts. It was amazing. He saw some of them had been extended for leg room. He needed one of those. As he picked out his cart and tried it out and felt good, he felt for his wand in his robes. He needed his wand incase for the obstacle course.
He got into his go kart and started it up. He looked over to the girl and asked over all the roaring of the racing go karts, "YOU READY!?"

Not that Elodie noticed, because she'd gotten into the habit of stress cleaning recently. She offered Dora one of the sandwiches and set the rest aside, trusting the Ravenclaw to use her wand against any rugrat that tried to get in on their food and stuff. "More pumpkin juice for me then.."
Getting herself into one of the karts, Els nodded. "Kick butt, Dora." That was her stamp of approval in beating the kids up. "Eat sandwiches, too."
See? This was why she was glad to have been paired with Elodie. She joined in on her fun of messing with the younger ones. "Our dorm is packed with all sorts of food." Since the walk to get some was killer. Though Dora did prefer to use the house elves.
"I've got something to drink in my dorm." She'd just grab that later when she was bored with this. Which wouldn't be right now since Elodie and Theo were going to race the professor. She grinned at Elodie and saluted her with the sandwhich. "I will." Literally. "You too." On beating the professor. Merlin knew she wouldn't be able to stand it if that woman won.

Alrighty then.....
She got up out of the kart carefully with her heels and made her way over to the wall of the corridor. “Miss Miroslava, I wasn’t asking you to watch my purse, my kitties are very capable of watching themselves and I’ve had no visions stating otherwise. What I’m very shocked by is a student leader who is being a bit rude towards a professor, you would think with a house in last place someone of your leadership would be showing respect to their peers as well as their professors. Random points have been given out for effort and wouldn’t it have been nice to gain them for being helpful. We always want to lead by example, not by words.” She smiled sweetly at the girl as she sent the purse down out of the way. Turning and heading back towards the Kart she gave yet another glance towards the prefect, “And last I knew Ravenclaws were always very helpful and not really the pyro types, but it might be something I will have to question Mr. Kitridge about later on, or possibly the Headmistress just to make sure things are fireproof for you.”
With a bit of a giggle Cassie moved back over towards the Go Kart she got settled back into it. Now how did you work it again? Looking up hearing another voice she grinned at the Hufflepuff prefect, “I’m not sure I can promise anything, I’ve never done this before, but I’m all for a friendly race for fun.” She snapped with excitement. Looking to both Theo and Elodie she took her hand to the wheel. “Are we ready?” She was at least ready to try.
Was the professor aware, that by her asking her to watch the purse, she was by extension asking her to watch the contents it contained? Otherwise there'd be no purpose of watching said purse.
Dora didn't voice this, mostly because talking to this woman was not high on her list of things to do today. Or ever.
"I wasn't being rude, professor. Just stating facts."Helpful even, she should be grateful. And house point guilt? Seriously? The prefect was very amused by this and eyed the woman over her sandwich. "We're less focused on the house points race in Ravenclaw, Professor, and more so on assisting each other on furthering our magical knowledge." Not bloody worthless house points. "I'm helpful when it's absolutely necessary." And not a moment more.
Taking a bite out of her sandwich, she shrugged unconcerned, eyes drifting to more interesting people that were arriving, like Olly and Józsua. They got a wave. "I can assure you that my entire common room in fireproof thanks to myself and other upperclassmen. As we all share the misfortune of being stuck in this castle thanks to the blizzard. And a constant fire is needed to keep warm." Her eyes slowly drifted back to the woman, watching her and wondering when she'd leave. "But please, do feel free to inform them both." She obviously wasn't bothered by it.

Did Lex choose a go-kart yet?
The Gryffindor was covered from head to toe in paint and she'd never felt more alive than now. Was it possible to sweat in this cold weather? She didn't know but she could feel the beginnings of perspiration at the tip of her forehead where her hairline began. Proof she'd just spent the better half of a couple hours active and out there and shooting people to her hearts content. Now it was racing with Cassia. Perfect this night was perfect.
Despite her joints that were getting a little sore from all the shots and dives and crawling she did, Lex did her best to keep pace with Cassia. She could rest later when the event was over and they were back to moping about the castle with nothing better to do. This was one night only.
At the top of the seven floors they finally got to the starting point where Elodie and Dora looked busy enough. She gave them both waves, kinda like a 'sup, just having a go with these' before following Cassia over to the karts and picking one for herself. Lex slipped into hers, watching the track before them. Already knowing the rules and setup saved on time.
"We going on my count or...?" How did Cassia wanna start the race?

IT'S HORRIBLE!!" he shouted back but his voice was consumed by the growling of the engine. He tried again. "ICE!!!! I. C. E. SLIPPERY STUFF!"
By the time he had said the last sentence, Simon felt the bumper car lose traction and he was sliding a little bit over to the right wall. The boy started to flail about until he realized that he really couldn't do anything at all. "ICE!" he yelled one last time. "ISA!" Maybe saying the Ancient Rune would help? He was hoping that Adi would get that.
Stop. Panicking.
Simon held the wheel lightly and continued zooming across the ice. He was in for one interesting go kart ride...
Adi was realllly close to Simon's Kart now. Yet, he couldn't quite understand what the boy was saying. Drat all this noise! Maybe he should slow down...Adi did just that. Ah, yes. Less noise. Now, what was that Simon was YELLING? Ice? Nice? O_O
But at that exact moment, the Hufflepuff saw Simon's kart sliiiide. OH! That's what his Slytherin friend was trying to warn him about. Ice! Yes, there was confirmation. Isa.
Adi held his breath. Simon would come out of this in one piece, right? Right?

And he lived to please people. But THIS?! "Didn't peg you as the type to be a rule breaker." SMIRK. "And are you always this sassy or is today a special day?" Swear to Merlin, Grayson wouldn't be surprised if this kid even had a sassy walk to match that sassy demeanour of his.
That wasn't a GOOD thing. HELLO?! Whatever. He could let the boy believe what it is he wanted to believe. "You're welcome. Maybe you should consider a job in stand up comedy." It was certainly a good way to entertain people. And he could do a special number where he danced for the public, too.
Oh Grayson, you smart boy.
There was still a lot of the race left? PSH. He knew that. But right now, Grayson was the one who was winning so SUCKS FOR YOU, HOPSCOTCH. Turning around in his seat, he SMIRKED at the distance between the two of them. HA! Look who was behind! "Come on, give me a bit of competition. Suuuuuurely, you could do better than that!" He was baiting the kid, of course. Because Grayson DID like a bit of competition. One were he could win, obviously.
Having been looking at Tag the entire time, Grayson hadn't been paying attention to where his kart was going. Hadn't anticipated that it was flying straight towards a wall. Nope. He had been entirely set on mocking the blonde seventh year so..............
OOMPH!
"NOOOOOOOOO!" he cried as his kart started spinning round and round and completely out of his control. He turned his attention back towards the front, mumbling a few choice words here and there while he tried to get his kart to STOP FREAKING SPINNING.
Foot to the gas. Foot to the gas. There, now Tag had caught up to Grayson a bit better, more at level with him. Rule breaker. Yep, that definitely wasn't Tag. But he wasn't going to let Grayson know that. No comments would be said about the rule breaker. Just let Grayson think whatever he wanted. Though, that sassy remark, Tag keeping his eye on the corridor and Grayson for just a split second, laughed. "No. Always sassy. But, you're easy to sass, so you usually get extra sassed." TRUTH.
"I'm bad at setting up jokes, actually." Truth again. Tag needed one of those 'how to tell a joke for dummies' type of books for a present. Someone should get it for him. Besides, his jokes never usually got him very far.
Competition? Tag was definitely going to be giving Grayson some competition. This race would've been bothering if there wasn't any. Thankfully Tag had chosen a worthy person to race again. "I am. I am!" The blonde said, pressing his foot even harder on the gas and zooming past Grayson with great speed.
And, what in merlin's beard had happened to Grayson's kart? He was spinning around like a lunatic. What in the world? Maybe Tag had thrown an imaginary banana or something. Because this was priceless. "Have fun getting yourself back on track, Shirt Boy!" Tag cackled, not giving Grayson a glance as he continued zooming forward through the corridors.

"We going on my count or...?" How did Cassia wanna start the race?
Now that she looked closely at Lex who settled in her kart, she couldn't help not think that her bestfriend looked both ridiculous and great. Covered in paint and all. The first thing the snake did once she left the tent was use a cleaning spell. Her new shirt was not going to stay stained with paint for long. Nope. She would stop functioning just feeling the smeared paint on it. But it was fun seeing Lex like that. That was a proof that someone just had a blast.
Counting, right. They needed this to start off and all. "We'll count together," so that no one can complain that they were off guard. Though, Cassia was going to complain anyway if she lost. Surely Lex was aware of that.
"One....two," One hand gripped the wheel while the other settled on the brake. "THREE!" And they were off!
And boy was this car FAST!
Cassia felt her head jerk back due to the force at the beginning but then she re-positioned her head after shaking out the bangs out of her eyes. She probably should have dealt with those before starting. Too late now, there was no way she could release the wheel or park on the side of the track or something.
Speaking of, where was she? On which floor? Maybe she won already? Nah. Didn't look like it.

Now Adi was very close and the Hufflepuff still looked at Simon like a silly person? Huh? Hadn't he heard him. Then as his kart was sliding, he glanced at Benny and saw that the boy had understood what he was saying. "Phew!" he muttered and gripped the steering wheel tighter as he slid towards the wall. He held his breath. Once he couldn't hear the crunching of the tires on the ice, he quickly turned the wheel and pulled away from the wall. Then he exhaled out and slowed down.
"Be careful of the ice," he said with a chuckle as he tried to catch his breath and lower his rapid heart rate.

Speaking of, where was she? On which floor? Maybe she won already? Nah. Didn't look like it.
Admittedly, going on their count did sound fair but Lex knew better than to think it would make a difference. If she got back here first there was no doubt Cassia would have something to say about it, in which case they'd have a best 2 out of 3 and go another two rounds. The Gryffindor wouldn't have minded at all. This was promised to be epic. She had been here during setup and had already decided one race wouldn't do.
"THREE!" Lex called in unison with the snake as her foot slammed hard against the peddle propelling her forward with a sudden thrust. Powerful engine. Brilliant.
Lex's stomach did a dip at the sudden drop that took her down the stairs of the seventh floor. The cold air of the castle whipped against her face in such a way that it was blinding from the rush descent but it was thrilling all the same as proven by the shout of the Gryffindor. This was what feeling alive was like. "Hey Cass! I guess I'll be seeing you at the finish line, huh? I'll wait as long as I can, I promise!" Said right before speeding on ahead, the course twisting and contorting further down.
Pity there were rules against road rage. She still wanted to know what that was like. Then again she wouldn't have tried on Cassia...in case it didn't end well....

Ice! Why you be in Simon and Adi's path? Darn you! Adi had to take his eyes off Simon and his Kart for a few seconds so he could avoid zooming into the ice himself. He yanked on the steering wheel, narrowly avoiding it.
Clearing the ice, Adi looked back up. It looked like Simon made it safely too. Phew! The Hufflepuff braked beside the Slytherin. "Thanks for the warning, dude.'' He grinned gratefully.
"So. Shall we get this race back on? I don't think we've got that far more to go.'' Adi was itching for victory.
Józsua should've had THAT tattooed on his body somewhere. It sounded very wise. And accurate. Not that she was agreeing with him. Not verbally anyway. Plus, it was beside the point she was trying to make. "No, not too nice for cake. You're just too nice. Period." To certain people. Like Cassia. People who didn't deserve it.
"Take it from a Hufflepuff." They were supposed to be the nice ones, or so she'd heard.
Maybe she really WAS a true Hufflepuff though, seeing as the next thing she did was give him some of her cake. She nodded, agreeing with his statement as she divided the rest of her piece of cake into two - more or less - equal parts. Without prior warning she shoved one half of the cake into Józsua's mouth. IF he'd had the presence of mind to open his mouth. If he hadn't, then it was now in his face.
Finishing off the cake, Olly's gaze had briefly drifted off to the other people around them but was soon back on the Slytherin boy next to her when he tapped her shoulder. Right. Go-karts. She followed him over to the start line, selected the one next to Józsua's, put on her seatbelt and.......just drove off. "Come on, Józsua!" She echoed his words with smirk on her lips, turning her head to look over her shoulder.
Oh. Well that made more sense, Józsua guessed.. except... “How can anyone be too nice?” Was this because he was friendly towards Cassia? “What have you got against her anyway?” Cassia, that was. Józsua had actually been impressed surprised today that sweet Head Girl had claws... or fangs.. which she wasn't afraid to show when needs be.
“You think the hat got you an me confused during the sorting?” He teased the Hufflepuff and playfully nudged her. So many questions... He was about to ask yet another, when a piece of cake was shoved unceremoniously in his mouth. Smiling, nodding and chewing.. whatever he wanted to ask was forgotten..
Still chewing, he spotted Dora from his Go-Kart and sent a smile and wave her way..
And Olly was off!
“No fair!” He yelled after her, followed by a laugh. He swallowed the piece of cake, put his foot down and sped off after her. Yea... maybe the hat had got the pair of them confused.
He caught her up and sent a smirk her way, tempted to bump her, but resisted... for now.
