This could not have been any more manic. (She would have said "if they tried", but they seemed to be trying pretty hard so that didn't really apply.)

Sinead's shield had held up for two hits before bowing out of the situation just as a large quantity of mac and cheese (seriously, who chose the food for this thing?) sailed majestically towards her. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Hirsch had been similarly taken unawares, but she was more concerned with her anger at the girl- a Ravenclaw who looked about 13 or 14- who had thrown the stuff. Food fight it may be, but she really hadn't expected to get covered in food. And while Sinead was politely throwing bits of bread, she got nailed by horrible cheesy sauce all over her clean robes? She couldn't take that lying down. This meant war.

She recast her shield with a vengeance, the "Fianto Duri!" rolling off her tongue so that she scarcely even noticed when it seemed to work properly this time. (Except she did notice because, well. Smug much? Even if it was still a bit- very- small, but she had time to work on that later.) Bread didn't really seem appropriate for getting revenge in this situation- something rather messier was called for. Her eyes strayed sideways to the table, falling upon a large bowl of chocolate fondue. This was no time to question why anyone would waste it here- snatching it off the table, she Wingardium Leviosa'd it (her throwing hand definitely didn't have good enough aim for this job) and sent it sailing towards her Ravenclaw assailant, just hoping that her shield wasn't as solid as it looked.

Huh..

For a food fight Leon was actually very clean and actually sort of bored, no good was coming towards him at all, he was just sitting behind his shield as food flew past him..

Ahh well..

Leon picked up a cupcake and while leaning ever so casually on the table, started to eat it..

Hey, he was hungry.. and since nothing seemed to be coming his way.. might as well make use of the food there, yeah? The boy had missed his breakfast.. or rather his second one..

He idly lobbed cheddar biscuits at the left side as he observed what was happening in the class, still munching on his cupcake..

As soon as the food was out of her hands, Cassie moved to recast her shield since it had rather faded once she had moved. “Protego!” she cast first before firmly following up with “Fianto Duri,” and watching the desired effect take place. Which was certainly a good thing as the results of her original throw had come to fruition and she now had a young Slytherin apparently very upset that she had been hit with the cheesy goodness that was mac and cheese. Well she hadn’t been particularly aiming for the girl, she just happened to be where the food had landed.

Except now she was clearly being aimed at. And was that something brown? Something chocolate? Cass wished her shield to hold and in the end it did, the melted chocolate splashing across the surface of her shield before it disintegrated in reaction. Whew! She ‘lived’ to fight another day.

So she was going to try again, careful not to be facing the Slytherin so there was less of a chance of getting her again. Maybe the older housemate who didn’t seem all too interested in the lesson given how weakly he was throwing biscuits. Cass picked up some of the errant pastries and sent them his way, taking better aim then her first shot.

Leon had finished his first cupcake and was now onto his second, he wasn't at all paying attention to the chaos that was erupting around him, because well.. food.

The chocolate cupcake was good, it seemed to be a shame to throw it.

*munch munch* *nibble nibble*

He loooked around and was wondering wha....

.......:

Leon suddenly felt something hit his cheek and the 7th year turned wide eyed towards the source.. his Shield was up, and yet ever so conveniently off to his one side, leaning his right side fully open for attacks!

A half smile crossed his lips as he looked at the younger Ravenclaw girl and he smiled..

That was a good one!

He reached casually behind him, and then picked up a strawberry tart and aimed it right for the left side and Cassie!

Haha! This was more like it

The Gryffindor could tell that something was off today; with the both of them, but before she could question it....or really even consider the possibilities, Rooney was throwing up his version of Protego. Head snapping around to survey the open space of the room, Liv noticed the incoming peas...but between her shield...and the one he'd just successfully conjured, the small green vegetables stood no chances.

They were quite the team, weren't they?

.......It made her heart ache.

"Rooney!" Momentarily worrying that her own magic wouldn't hold up, the blonde maneuvered to the side, eyes wide. Apparently, however, that had been a mistake. Since her shield had vanished, two very solid yellow?....orange?.....somethings collided with her chest. Blinking down at herself, she made a face. At least it wasn't something...gooey? Brushing off the crumbs, she didn't even bother casting the shield again for herself, instead using her magic to lift and throw a chocolate cake. The aim was that older looking Ravenclaw boy (Leon), but... using magic to do this wasn't something Olivia was 100% accurate with, and the cake went wide, flying towards Cassie instead!

Oops, her bad.

Kitty would have loved to have seen whether her grapes had hit Tenacius or whether he had blocked them, but there was much food flying left, right and center that she almost instinctively decided to duck under one of the tables to avoid looking like an open target. And since grapes were not like mashed potatoes, they'd just bounce off him if they had hit. She'd have to ask him later.

Underneath the table was actually quite a nice safe space. Much as she was tempted to preserve her hair and uniform by just enjoying the rest of the battle from under it, she knew Professor Hirsch probably wouldn't be too impressed with one of his prefects ducking out. Besides, food fights were fun! (just so long as you don't get hit with anything wet or slimy)

Nearby she watched as her team members threw food at Leon, her newest friend from the Herbology class. Poor Leon! With a smirk, Kitty reached her hand up over the table and grabbed a few more grapes. Then she ducked out from under it and gently threw them in Leon's direction.

Madness, mayhem and an outburst of teenage energy. That was what this activity was. There was food flying everywhere, some shouts and screams and even trash talk. In short, this was probably turning out to be one of the more amusing activities he's ever had to host.

A few more glances were made at his watch before, finally, Hirsch decided that it was time to stop. Shame, really, he'd gotten much too used to seeing the food flying everywhere. Whipping out his wand, the man struck up a giant shield between the two sides. Any food that hit the shield simply bounced right back and onto the floor.

Had he caught their attention yet?

"And that's a wrap!" he called, loud enough for everyone to hear, "I think it's safe to say that not only have you destroyed my classroom," This was going to be fun to clean. "But you've also gotten yourselves covered with more food than you probably thought you'd be in." At this, Hirsch reached towards his chest and flicked off a random pea amongst the green mash that was sitting there.

"I'm afraid that's it for the lesson," he said, looking back up again with a slightly amused expression on his face, "I hope this lesson has helped you to not only construct and keep your shields up for longer, but to also cast the spell in a short space of time. A necessary skill when you're in dire need of a stronger shield charm that lets you multitask." See? There had been a point to this madness.

"Class dismissed!"

Hit the showers, wash your hair and change out of the food-stained clothes, okay? He didn't want any complaints from the other members of staff.


OOC: THAT'S ALL, FOLKS! I hope you enjoyed that lesson! Thank you so much for taking part. I really appreciate it *loves you all*

I'm going to leave this thread open for a day if you want to post your charrie leaving ^^

Her smirked stayed on her lips as Henry said nice try. "Bring it on." She laughed as her shield was no match for the broccoli. It was gone in one poof. "Maybe next time Henry." She giggled a bit before turning her attention back to Dot, "Okay, I will block you, but make sure that spaghetti doesn't come anywhere near my hair. It will take forever to get out.

Looking towards James, "Oh I don't have to try too hard." She knew her ways worked. It just wasn't going to be now that she would prove because Hirsch was saying that the class was over. Looking back at James she just smirked, "Guess you get off easy." Her shield going away she did a nonverbal cleaning charm to clean up her robes and went to gather her things.

"Thanks for the interesting lesson professor. I'll be stopping by soon." She wanted help with the her patronous.

Oh oh oh he saw them grapes Kitty, and as the grapes hit his shield and disintegrated he laughed a great big laugh "IS THAT ALL YOU GOT HELLO KITTY YOU AINT--"

*CHOKE COUGH COUGH*

There was a grape that made it through the shield! Bullseyeing into his mouth like a rebel pilot shooting into the chimney of the death star....

And thats pretty much all he did, trying to get that grape stuck in his throat until he finally coughed it out so hard he was hoping it would make it back to Kitty-- but alas, Hirsch got the shield up that signaled the end of the fight.

"Thanks Prof!" the Curly Top managed to rasp out a reply and a tired but very joyful smile. Yes time to hit the showers....
