"It doesn't taste bad,'' Adi said to Henric as he laughed a bit. Yep, he liked mustard. But Henric... he looked like he wanted to barf. "Yo, Henny. You alright? Not trying to make the place smell worse, are you?''
...................

"Yeah, I'll be fine.'' He winced and then nodded at Henric. Thanks for caring, bud. "Just need to walk it off. And I will be.'' And that's what he did after punching the balloon, not really caring for the rebounding it did on his head. Drat you, silver balloon.

At least Henric had better luck. OHHH Maple Syrup! THIS Adi didn't mind getting splashed in and he received a healthy dose of the gooey liquid on his face and clothing. Yeah, yeah, he had given up on trying to protect his hair. So distracted was he by the syrup, he didn't even hear Moxley's reply to Henric's question.

Annnnd there was another POP! Whaaa? Had Henric somehow managed to pop another because Adi hadn't done anything. What nasty- oh. Feathers. Look at it all floating down graciously upon him and Henric. "We're Badgers not chickens,'' he commented in amusement. "Or any kind of birds.''

Look, though! A grey balloon! Adi punched it with ALLLLLL his might, sending feathers that had been attached to his left hand flything. Was it enough?

Henric nodded."Hopefully not mate...I'm good, just a little woozy with all these 'fantastic' smells put together, come on lets pop more balloons,shall we?"he told Adi as he stepped carefully over some more egg yolks on the floor.

B-but....Henric never intended to fight back. Umm... he had a brown belt in Judo, hardly seems fair at all. Even so, he would never raised his fist against his friends unless it was for self-defense. But Adi's fist to his nose was unexpected. He was truly caught off-guard. Henric only asked in hopes they could be let off due to safety reasons. Hehe. Oh well...he tried.

OH WOW! MAPLE SYRUP! Henric yelped as more sticky sweetness dumped on top of his head. He had never been drenched in so much maple syrup in his life! He didn't dare licking any of it with his mouth though, because he was covered layer after layer with other disgusting gooey stuff and fish oil. No way...uh uh...nope.

O_____O

It was raining feathers! How wonderful....NOT. He looked like a bloody chicken for merlin sake."Why are you laughing, its not fun-" He stopped to look back at Adi before collapsing into fits of laughter."WAHAHAA! ADI! Look at you! Look at US!" Flapping his arms. "Do you think we can fly out of here?" Henric was tearing up.

Okay..okay...he was going to finish popping the last of the balloons. He was getting a little exhausted from all the exertion. Come on...Henric...you can do this. He wiped the maple syrup away from his eyes and aimed for the green balloon next! Here comes the chicken badger's attack!!!

The grey balloon bounced away when the Prefect hit it. Was that all he could do? He sure seemed stronger when he went for his buddy before. The green balloon, however, expanded in a comical slow manner before it exploded releasing sticky substance with a yellowish color. What was it? No one knew. Dare to taste it? We wouldn't recommend it.

One more balloon to go!

Adi snorted with laughter and flapped his 'wings'. Yep, his arms were covered with loooooads of feathers. "Uh, nope! I don't think it works, Henny.'' Which was a complete disappointment because flying was SO MUCH fun! Yes, he was referring to flying as a bird, having been one of those before for his Potions homework.
....................

GAH!

MORE YELLOW LIQUID!

Adi covered his face as it all went cascading onto him and Henric. What on earth was that thing? O_O Adi didn't even bother trying to find out. "I think there's one more balloon left!'' he said to Henric. WOOHOO! They were almost done in the infernal dungeon!

Don't mind if he did the honours, Henny.

Adi located the nearest balloon, which happened to be another orange one, them gave it an almighty punch straight in the middle. COME ON! BURST!

Henric laughed."Oh well..one could dream." If only he could have the ability to fly like Superman. The adventures they could have.

"One more?? We left one more? GO GET IT ADI! GO GO!" But out of his excitement, Henric slipped again! This time falling onto his front into more pile of feathers. OOPHH. He spit out the feathers that went inside his mouth.

"Bleeghh..." he groaned. Did Adi got the last balloon yet?

The boys looked like they dipped in a poodle of stench by now. When the Prefect hit the orange balloon, it snapped open at once releasing... air. Nothing but air. It was as if the balloon knew that no more smelly ickiness was needed by now, no one would notice the difference.

"Okay," professor Botros spoke from behind his nose-covering hand. "That's enough." He waved for the boys to come.. a step nearer. No need to kill him and Moxley with how bad they smelled. "The main purpose of this task was to teach how terrible, disgraceful and truly disgusting it is to deal with our problems using our fists. No matter how angry or upset you are, your fists should not be the solution." Yes? Was that clear? "For the next two nights, you will spend your evening studying in here. No specific assignment is required."

Botros looked at Moxley next. "If professor Moxley has nothing else to say, you're free to go tonight." Straight to the bathroom, he assumed.

Aw, they were really done? This had been better than those ridiculous muggle game shows where the families competed crazy tasks for money only she hadn't had to give any rewards at all! Quality entertainment, detention was. Moxley had already decided she'd like to give out more in the future.

Having nodded along solemnly as Abraham explained the reasoning behind what the boys had just done, the brunette considered if she had anything else to add. All the immediate responses were about how humorous it had been to watch and seeing as that wasn't particularly helpful to either badger, she refrained. "No, that'll be all. You two should go get cleaned up." Like, she didn't want the common room smelling like they currently did, okay? Yikes.

Would you look at that. The last balloon had nothing in it. Good! At least he and Henric had nothing to add to their stench. Adi shot a quick grin at his friend. "Not bad, partner. We're done,'' he had time to say before Botros was calling them.

Adi went over, having the feeling they were going to get a bit of talking to. Yep, he was not disappointed. He nodded solemnly. Yes, he understood, Professors. And the other two detention nights weren't going to be so bad. He was grateful. "It won't happen again,'' he said, meaning him punching anyone. He then glanced at Moxley. Alrightey! They could go get cleaned up. The seventh year could barely breathe with all the odors.

"Let's go, Henny. Bye, Professors.''

Adi needed his shower pronto!

The last balloon burst and Henric braced himself for another hit of their dreadful punishment!... Hmm? He opened his eyes. Wait...there was nothing in that orange balloon? Hmph. Sneaky balloon!! Henric got up and returned back the grin towards Adi,"You too,man." Soon,they both standing in front of Headmaster Botros and Professor Moxley with his head hanging low. He nodded as well,"Yes, professors. We won't be using our fist anymore.We learnt our lesson. We'll be here again tomorrow."

Henric smiled a little when they were finally be able to go. SHOWER, HERE HE COMES! He glanced back at Adi,"Yeah,I'm right behind you buddy."
