Her dark eyes flicked from screen to screen watching each champion in turn but her eyes always found their way back to screens showing her fellow students, detached as she felt from it all, there was some apprehension bubbling in lower belly. Did they know? they were walking into a trap.
the crowd was cheering, Aslan kept her thoughts to herself. The Americans had no senses of self-preservation or self-control and treated the task at hand like some playful jaunt in the park, aslan knew very well it was meant to entertain but the fact of the matter remained the same this wasn't a game of Quidditch or Quodpot.
The Gryffindor leaned forward in her seat, arms resting on her knees and the Levi flag still held loosely in hand. Keen? Eager? more like, fascinated but that wasn't quite it ether- she dipped into her bag of chips and swallowed up the last one, washing it now with a gulp of cool butterbeer. Messy eater, she was licking the lick from her fingers when Will.... What was his last name? She couldn't recall him mentioning it but she was certain it existed in the same way she was certain of the blood in her veins and the cool October wind.
in answer, she gave the little flag a wave. "Levi Kenning, I suppose... and Dora Umbridge, but i wouldn't say I was rooting for ether." rooting implied something like enthusiasm and a personal stake, she had neither. She raised an unruly brow, expression mild but questioning. "that's a large assumption to make." She didn't sit back, a glance told her his arm was settled comfortably around her seat and Aslan wasn't sure if it she felt indifferent to it or not.
Oookay. Will shrugged and pulled his arm back, propping his elbows against his knees. It wasn't a new situation to be treated with indifference by a pretty girl. The odds were that he struck out more often than not, but there was that occasional home run where the pretty girl smiled back. Or at least didn't shrug him off. Both were a win.
He eyed the screens of her particular favorites and shrugged again. At this point, it was hard to distinguish anyone above the others. "I guess I'm rooting for the two Wampii, although I suppose I don't have a real favorite." Will glanced at his own classmates. Another shrug. He was a boss shrugger.
"I make large assumptions. You know what they say about assumptions? 'Specially true about large ones."
The water seemed to help somewhat, just like one of the licorice wands Daisy had gotten out of her bag as The American did his thing. She was trying to focus on what was happening on the screens but her free hand was rapidly writing down on an enchanted piece of parchment, words occasionally appearing of their own accord. Yes, I am hydrating, don’t worry about that. Her lips twitched amusedly despite the sense of dread that was filling her with every scream that was heard on the screens.
What the hell was going on out there?
After one last sip of water, she threw the now empty bottle back into her bag and cast the Sonorus charm again. “Well, Maddox, you should probably ask Moxley since she has just arrived.” The former Headmistress’ presence was, as always, impossible to miss. The use of ‘pal’ to refer to her didn’t annoy her half as much as the jab at Levi’s name and Daisy picked up the empty, previously discarded, water bottle and threw it at the boy’s head. “His name is Levi. Memorise it, please.” That was probably the wrong thing to do but the nerves were getting to her now. Sixteen competitors, sixteen terrifying, chilling screams. How people were still cheering after all, she did not understand. But … bold move?? “Who is Cotton?? Is that a nickname?”
And he was calling her biased. At least she wasn’t using nicknames for people. Anyway.
She sent the American a tight smile but rolled her eyes as soon as she looked away. “Let me stop you right there, pal, so we can return to what really matters and leave you and your friends to your cheering while your classmates face potential danger.” She could understand being excited and wanting your school to win because those screams did not bode well. At all. Her free hand moved to clutch at the sleeve of her oversized sweater and she cleared her throat, trying to steady her voice. “Alright, Hogwarts. Let’s see where we are. After a slow start, Cassandra seems to be making some progress, casting the by now usual Lumos and making her way through the forest. Wish her luck, guys. Tejashree seems to be trying to find out whether the screams are human or not, I suppose and Brent is possibly trying to impress the Headmistress with some very impressive rune work. He totally learned that at Hogwarts, by the way.” No matter what Maddox had been trying to say, hmpf. “OH! Looks like Mason got a bit of a fright at that scream which is weird coming from the boy dating Dora Umbridge. I say he’s a possible champion, given how he has managed to survive that girl without getting set on fire.” Not that she had any complaints of Dora but the girl really was too fast on those destructive spells. Maybe it was a good sign for her in the competition. If only she could set fire to those screams.
“Speaking of which, Dora is walking slowly but surely through the forest, you got to give it to her. Oh, where did she go? Good use of the disillusionment charm, I used it last year myself to hide from the monster. Handy charm, that is.” And then run to the Hospital Wing with Healer Reed to hide. “The new Hufflepuff Prefect seems very nervous but has finally decided to cast lumos … oh! Etta, that’s just a branch, girl. Why is she leaning against the tree now? Etta, you have to move …. oh, now Levi stopped too! Maybe someone is gluing them to the floor? No, he’s moving again, we’re cool.” And if the relief in her voice was audible it was because she simply didn’t care enough to hide it. “Good use of the Ventus jinx to blow away the fog, there as he walks towards the screams.” Because of course he does. The second Daisy heard those, she knew he would do that. He would do that even if there was no competition.
As she spoke, her blue eyes continued fixed on the screen where the fog seemed to be dissipating and showing … was that? The Slytherin audibly gasped. “Teddy found a girl! That’s who was screaming. Is that …” No, it couldn’t be. She looked at the staff members present, then at Declan who seemed to be as restless as she had ever seen him and her hand grabbed her self inking quill to write down one simple word. DEMENTOR Her gaze returned to the screen and when she spoke again her voice sounded tight and clipped and, internally, she wished for the challenges to be different for each competitor. “That appears to be a Dementor. I suppose we know what they have to fight to get a scholarship now.” A DEMENTOR!!! The thought that maybe this wasn’t real, because bringing sixteen Dementors to school would be insane never even crossed her mind. “Tejashree appears to be trying to gain herself some time by using the Baubillious Charm, possibly as a distraction. Mason is clearly showing his Ravenclaw traits, marking his way out of that forest, very wise.” And there was the Dementor. “I’m not sure what the Impervius Charm is supposed to do but he’s trying very hard to save that man. Maybe think of saving yourself too, eh Mason? OH! And we have our first Hogwarts Patronus. I would’ve guessed Dora would have a lion as a Patronus but if it works, it doesn’t matter.” Her eyes moved quickly to the next screen. “Etta, Etta! Putting yourself in front of the girl isn’t going to help. … That Glacius Tria might! Run, girl, run! Let’s hope the crying girl can run too!” She was about to get a Dementor’s Kiss, right? Probably she couldn’t run that well.
Because that appeared to be the task,right? Save someone -- a man, a woman, a teenager -- from getting a kiss from a Dementor and to say Daisy was terrified as her eyes found Levi’s screen it would not be an exaggeration. It was almost impossible to breathe and for a few minutes she didn’t say anything, simply staring at the screen and at the face of her best friend as he appeared to -- “Levi, no!” He was falling over, or almost falling over, and there was a Dementor nearby and he was crying. Suddenly, Daisy didn’t want to be here at all and her eyes found Declan’s figure again and she visibly grimaced. She wanted this to stop, right now, and for someone to go get Levi, right now. All of them, but mostly Levi, because he was crying. But maybe with the help of all that overthinking and overanalyzing he did, something must have helped because there was the hint of a smile and he was casting a cheering charm on himself and Daisy became aware that somehow she was now standing. Well. That could work. “Uhmmm … Levi Kenning seems to be … “ She couldn’t finish, because she was too caught up on what he was doing, anyway. She couldn’t say he was ‘fine’ because he wasn’t, none of them were, so she turned to the staff once more.
“I mean, it’s fine, right? The Hogwarts and Ilvermorny staff wouldn’t risk innocent people’s lives just for a scholarship, right?” Her eyes found Healer Reed and Professor Hirsch in particular, because out of all of them, they were the ones she trusted the most. Professor Myers too but -- She laughed nervously as she Deputy Headmaster went away to puke; that was a terrible sign, a horrible sign. “I suppose Professor Myers had too many hotdogs, eh?”
Or maybe he was nervous, and this was dangerous and she needed to sit down again.
A smile crossed the lioness's face when the boy's moved over and she plopped down into the seat and unbeknownst to her separated the two Astor boys. “Thank you, I'm Sam” she said turning her smile one Mr American Boy. He'd better cherish this smile, who knew the next time it would show up. “Oh, no, I don't need anything,” She told Ace. She leaned down and pulled out two thermoses. They were both charmed with an extension charm, and to keep beverages at the exact right temperature. “I brought tea, and cinnamon cocoa. You can have some if you want. And you too.” She said offering her beverages to their odd little group. “Didn't bring food though.”
From down the row on the other side of the Hogwarts girl, Mae grinned, and leaned forward to look at him. “Always my Dear Deo, always.” she said blowing him a kiss. “Oh, man, you know what sounds really good? Sweet tea. I haven't any good tea in ages. Here, want some fries?” she asked, holding the container out for those down the row. “So boy's, who are ya'll pulling for?” Obviously their Ilvermorny peeps, but you know, who out of them? "Oh yeah, I'm Maegan," She said shoving some fries into her face

Healy.
Will Healy removed his arm and took the choice and weight altogether, a move that left her confused. She had given no indication of being for or against the contact and yet when she had remained quiet on the matter, rather than wait he had proactively moved away. Was he so concerned? Or just impatient? The question lingered in the Gryffindor's mind as she finally sat back in her seat.
He was an interesting boy in the way he shifted and changed with each meeting. What had he said before? Something about putting on a show in front of the other boys and although Aslan felt this conversation was a private one there was no doubt of it being fairly public. She took a draught of her butterbeer, the cold glass numbing her naked fingers. "You know, I always wondered about the plural for Wampus. Wampii sounds... like something a child would say." Aslan said, licking the excess drink from her lips. The houses, that was something she'd like to ask him about, what they meant and how they all related to one another if they did at all. She made a mental note, but Aslan was sure to forget.
............ "I don't think I know the saying." The gryffindor wrapped an arm loosely around her waist. "But I'll assume it's not favorable." there was a tinge there, a curve to her lips that bespoke a quiet amusement and curiosity- it didn't stay, Daisy's words caught her attention, or rather one word had.
Dementor.
She blinked, surprise completely erupting across her features. "... I don't believe it." She muttered, dark eyes searching the faces of the staff nearby.

She was Moxley, the ferocious mama bear headmistress and she was armed with pom poms which she waved between snacks, much to the displeasure of those around her, she was sure. She miiiiight've even whacked her companions a time or two but she was in the zone, yeah? One really couldn't blame her. Just like they couldn't blame her for her constant insistence that she can't watch...only to peek through her fingers to do just that.
Snack. Cheer. Repeat. Snack. Cheer. Repeat.
This was going to be a long day.
Armed with a Slytherin flag and a pumpkin juice, Junia navigated through the crowd and found herself a seat. Her eyes took on a more green hue today, appropriate considering, and they searched the screen for any sign of those she knew and cared for. They were the ones she'd be cheering on today. They were the ones she was setting aside her jealousy for. Although she still wished it was her out there, okay?
Her eyes widened suddenly as the competitors advanced and the commentators only served to heighten the things she was feeling. "Come on, Etta. Come on. You got this." The Slytherin willed her friend forward, chewing on her lip.
Noelle's mouth was moving as she whispered into her quill, telling it exactly what notes to take from the competition. Only, she was incredibly nervous because the competition had started. There was screaming. There was running. There were smart moves. There were.... scary moves.
Why hadn't she brought her licorice wands??
They always seemed to help her when she needed a stress reliever. Seeing Headmistress Moxley, Noelle scooted down a bit and tapped her on the shoulder. "Hi, do you happen to have any licorice wands?"
The stress was real.
Just imagine if you were out there.
SPOILER!!: Wifey (Ava)

She saw Noelle was sitting not too far from her spot and decided to move next to her but first.. She needed some refreshments. After getting two cups of butterbeer, Ava took a seat beside the prefect and offered the butterbeer. "For you." Because butterbeer was such a perfect companion for a cold day like this.
Feeling a tap after she asked Moxley for a licorice wand, Noelle breathed in relief as Ava, her wifey, handed her a butterbeer. "Howd you know I needed this?" She asked before Daisy's thoughts came into focus. She was standing ...
Noelle held the mug tight in her hands and stood to watch what was going on in the competition. "COME ON LEVI!! COME ON ETTA!!!" Could they hear her?? She had no idea. She wasn't even nearly as loud as Daisy but she urged them on. Despite that she was head to toe in Gryffindor gear, Etta was still her friend.
"Someone will save them if..." She didn't finish because her eyes traveled over to Professor Myers as he started throwing up.....
Okay, that wasn't a good sign.

She still had people worth cheering for, which is why she had donned a hufflepuff scarf for today's event.
Trudging up the stairs, her eyes lit up as she saw her best friend, and then her eyes fell on the person next to them. Well, she wasn't going to let that bother her today. Shuffling over to them “Uhhh...” No, she wasn't going to sit down there. “Would you guys mind sliding down a bit?” Nice American boys she'd like to sit with her cousin please.
The fifteen year old girl was a little late getting up into the stands, because holy unicorn poo, it was cold out here. Maybe not as cold at it got back at Mount Greylock, but this southern girl had always found the temperatures there way too cold too. After taking the time to find the perfect fluffy scarf to bundle up in, she had stopped by the concession stand, because Yasssssss, they had all the good food. Pizza, and nachos, and cheese burgers. After buying way too much food, she made her way up to the stands, keeping her eyes peeled for any of her friends.
Seeing both Deo and Evan, along with one of the girls from their welcoming banquet,(Mel) she worked her way over to them, calling out “Evan, Deo!” she got to them just in time to hear Deo wanting food. She laughed merrily as she grabbed her foil wrapped burger and dropped it in his lap, as if she was santa, delivering gifts. “Thought you'd want that. You good Evan?” She asked seeing this drink. “Hey, I remember you. Is it okay if I sit here?” she asked sitting down in the empty seat beside her.

Speaking of cousins, he heard his other one, asking to make room "Hey Sam! Sure--" nudge nudge Deo mooooove "--you want anything? Deo's about to get sumthin to eat."
???????????
Whut?? How the heck did he end up being the errand boy here when it was he who brought up the idea of food in the first place? His cousin is so incredibly DENSE. Or unbelievably cunning. But he's sticking with dense.
It was then that Evan joined them "No Evan please have a seat." always has room for one who brings food. Puuuuush cousin aside to make room for his housemate. Or housemates as Mae bounced in to join them. And talk about blessings falling from the sky and landing on his lap! "Thank you both!" See his crew has FOOD. He wasnt sure whats the score down there in the competition, but in the Awesome Audience Arena, Ilvermorny is WINNING.

Evan grinned as he joined Deo and his cousin. "Thanks." The boy plopped his butt to the seating next to his fellow horned serpent. "Hi, Tenacius, you want some snacks?" He greeted the Gryffindor prefect and offered him nachos. He also had sriracha if he wanted some kick to their food. Evan Park had never left without a bottle of sriracha on him, you know?
Oh look, that's Meagan joining them! And also a Hogwarts girl that she did not know of (Sam), perhaps she was a friend of Tenacius. "Ah, okay." He said to her and slide a bit to give her some space to sit. "Nachos?" Evan offered to the girls. Yeah, he did get the nachos to share with others while the horned serpent boy got herself a cheeseburger. Adding some sriracha to his food, he refused Meagan's offer because he already got some with him. "I am good, Mea."

YOU CAN FACE THIS!" The Gryffindor shouted to support her fellow lion. He probably won't hear the cheering from the stands but well, showing her support to him would be great, right? There were so many things happened and she just hoped that he could do it. Goodness, now what'd happened with him?
Did she just hear someone threw up? Goodness, it was the Herbology professor. Merlin.

The groundskeeper/flying instructor/GOTTA KEEP THEM ILVERMORNY'S AWAY FROM THE FOREST-man was late. Very late. He glanced at the wide screen and then up at the stands as he made his way there. Lots of people. LOTS of people.
"Excuse me, yes, yes, sorry, yes..." He grumbled as he made his way through the crowd. He recognized the Hogwarts students, the ones he passed got a pat on the head.
Daisy, Tenacius, young Théodore and little Kyle, Head Boy Bronwyn, Henry Whittebrook all got a fond pat and a 'Hello'. Never mind that he blocked the view of the big screen, they were his flyers, he had to pat their heads.
He saw professor Myers run away, looking nauseous but Haraldur continued up towards the rest of staff. He wiggled himself down next to them and finally looked up at the big screen.
"WELLLLLLLLL, how are the kids doing?" The Hogwarts kids. Obviously.
“OH! Looks like Mason got a bit of a fright at that scream which is weird coming from the boy dating Dora Umbridge. I say he’s a possible champion, given how he has managed to survive that girl without getting set on fire.” Not that she had any complaints of Dora but the girl really was too fast on those destructive spells. Maybe it was a good sign for her in the competition. If only she could set fire to those screams.
“Speaking of which, Dora is walking slowly but surely through the forest, you got to give it to her. Oh, where did she go? Good use of the disillusionment charm, I used it last year myself to hide from the monster. Handy charm, that is.” And then run to the Hospital Wing with Healer Reed to hide. “The new Hufflepuff Prefect seems very nervous but has finally decided to cast lumos … oh! Etta, that’s just a branch, girl. Why is she leaning against the tree now? Etta, you have to move …. oh, now Levi stopped too! Maybe someone is gluing them to the floor? No, he’s moving again, we’re cool.” And if the relief in her voice was audible it was because she simply didn’t care enough to hide it. “Good use of the Ventus jinx to blow away the fog, there as he walks towards the screams.” Because of course he does. The second Daisy heard those, she knew he would do that. He would do that even if there was no competition.
Sam glanced across to the screen with Mason as the commentary checked in on him, although soon found herself staring at disbelief at Daisy.
THE BOY DATING DORA UMBRIDGE?!
Oh, c'mon. Seriously? That was pretty much the dumbest thing she'd heard. How was it even a thing? It was like a tragic repeat of Rooney at the feast all over again, and Sam practically growled at the girl. If she was a bit closer to the commentary box, she'd have probably have gone storming over there on her bestie's behalf. But sadly she wasn't, so she shouted back instead.
"Wrong Ravenclaw! Dora Umbridge is dating Casper Greenwood, you nincompoop!"
Apparently some of the lioness had rubbed off on her too over the last five years. Sorry, Casper.
And in defending her bestie, she nearly missed the CUTEST and AWESOMEST THING EVER on screen, aka Dora's marble fox patronus. Look at it go, shining in the dark forest! Anger, momentarily forgotten, Sam grinned broadly. She'd seen it several times as the Gryffindor practiced, but seeing her produce it first time in these circumstances, Sam couldn't be more excited and proud.
He would rather not actually ask Moxley that so he was just going to ignore that. Maddox knew it was a losing battle there. Moxley would probably not even answer him anyway and it would get him looks for other professors. So NO. Why did he have to remember it he already knew now he was named after a brand of jeans. HEY WATCH IT. YOU SEE THIS MOXLEY AND BAEGINA SHE THREW A WATER BOTTLE AT HIM. IT WAS AN ATTACK. NEW PARTNER, PAL, BUDDY, FRIEND NEEDED FOR THIS.
"HEY NO THROWING THINGS. OKAY OKAY LEVI JEANS, I GET IT"
It was empty but still. THERE WAS INTENT. Wait she did not get the reference. Well, it was a really really really old one. But it was a classic. Did she not like horrible old comedy movies. Geez girls at this schooL. Some people just did not know how to have fun. Cough Her Cough. Bottle throwing hot person. Well, he was just going to finish his burger and let her continue. He watched the screens. This was better than a movie.
Dementors????
Dude. This was getting serious. Glad he was not chosen. Well, something seems to be going on with Levi Jeans since she is standing on. Well, he will let her just do whatever. It was her friend and well whatever. Well way to distract everyone from Levi with the Professor Poncho puking. Way to go Partner.
"AND IF YOU TURN YOUR ATTENTION FROM PROFESSOR PONCHO BACK TO TO WHATS GOING ON WHOA WHOA WHOA WHAT IS IN FRONT OF JESUS. A MAN AND A DEMENTOR!!!!!!. DUDE ITS A DEMENTOR COME ON JESUS WHERE IS THE PATRONUS. WELL NICE TRY EVEN IF IT DID NOT SEEM TO WORK NOR THE SECOND SPELL. COME ON JESUS AND THERE IT KIND OF IS. MORE SMOKE THAN ANYTHING ELSE. BUT IT WORKED. WAY TO GO JESUS!!!" That was more than enough excitement to last him the rest of the day. Way to go Jesus. See look what Jesus can do. Never doubt the man. Look at Lachlan not caring for the weather here. Maddox complained about it every second he could find. "FOR ONE LACHLAN WINS THE COSTUMES AWARD IF WE HAD ONE AND TWO HE IS OUTSHINING EVERYONE ELSE'S LUMOS WITH A LUMOS MAXIMA IN THE END. IM STILL A FAN OF THE BLUE BELL. BUT ITS PERSONAL CHOICE KEEP RUNNING LACHLAN. DONT BE AFRAID OF THE SCREAM. JUST DONT RUN AWAY." Would you fail right away if you ran out of the forest? Things to think. Since none of them have. Which is kinda of nice. Well with the crowd and everything well it would make you an embrassment and nobody wanted to be one of those in front of the entire school. Lets be Real. "LOUISE PATRONUS SEEMS TO HAVE LEAD THEM TO AN OLD WOMAN AND A DEMENTOR!!!. WATCH OUT LOUISE. OOOOO THAT IS A BRIGHT PATRONUS AND ITS A BIRD. LOOK AT IT WORK ITS MAGIC. THE DEMENTOR HAS RETREATED. I GUESS. NOW SHE SEEMS TO TRYING TO HELP THE OLD LADY. GOOD GOING LOUISE!!" Hope the dementor did not come back. But well she had the old woman to worry about now. "THE HARD TO SEE KYLE SEEMS TO HAVE FOUND HIS WAY TO THE WOMAN AND DEMENTOR. GOOD THING THEY CANT SEE HIM. GIVES HIM SOME TIME TO THINK. OOOO NOW HIS BLUEBELL FLAMES ARE IN THE AIR AND OOOO NOW THAT IS SOME COOL SPELLWORK. THOUGH THAT GIANT FIREBALL JUST SEEMS TO MAKE IT ANNOYED BUT HIS PATRONUS DOES THE TRICK. I GOT TO REMEMBER THAT FIREBALL COMBO. PRETTY COOL. NOW, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO HANDLE THE WOMAN KYLE. WELL, DISIULLIONING HELPS AND A BLANKET MIGHT HELP TOO???? UHHHH SOMEONE IS ABOUT TO LOSE SOME CHOCOLATE SADLY" Well glad he had no chocolate on him. He kind of wanted to see where it would come from. Amusing thought. "LOOK AT IRENE RUNNING AND SHE RUNS RIGHT INTO A GIRL AND A DEMENTOR. WELL, SHE CERTAINLY RAN HEAD FIRST IN DANGER. AND BAM A PATRONUS MAKES IT RETREAT. GOOD GOOD IRENE TALK TO THE KID. JUST DONT SCARE HER MORE." okay he had to stop for another sec. So much has just happened and he wasn't even done. This was insane and not really fun if those things are really dementors. Anyway, he had to continue and with the last sip of his iced tea. Back to the action " VALERIE WATCH OUT SOMEONE SMASHED INTO YOU. A BOY???? AND SOMETHING IS CHASING HIM. LUCKY HE RAN INTO YOU. SHE GOES FOR A PATRONUS AND DID IT WORK....NOPE ITS BACK. COME ON VALERIE. OOOH SHE IS TRYING AGAIN" Well that was interesting. One patronus not being enough. Maybe her's was not good enough. "AIDEN SEEMS TO HAVE FOUND A BOY AND ANOTHER DEMENTOR CLOSING IN ON THE BOY. DO SOMETHING AIDEN. AND BOOM BANG POW THE DEMENTOR RUNS. WELL, IT CANT REALLY RUN SO I GUESS GLIDE WOULD BE THE BETTER WORD. AHEM GLIDES AWAY. WELL, THAT IS ONE WAY OF GETTING HIM INTO YOUR ARMS. NICE WORK AIDEN. WHOA AURORA THAT IS SOMEONE YELLING. IT SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM THAT LITTLE GIRL. DONT BE SCARED AURORA YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO. YES THERE YOU GO PATRONUS!!!"
Could they have a break to go get something more to drink or maybe someone should give Professor Poncho a drink? Or was he okay now. He was not really paying attention. More cheering for Hogwarts he was hearing. So his partner was probably happy.
And above all else. He was sad the bottle she threw at him was empty.

Noelle's mouth was moving as she whispered into her quill, telling it exactly what notes to take from the competition. Only, she was incredibly nervous because the competition had started. There was screaming. There was running. There were smart moves. There were.... scary moves.
Why hadn't she brought her licorice wands??
They always seemed to help her when she needed a stress reliever. Seeing Headmistress Moxley, Noelle scooted down a bit and tapped her on the shoulder. "Hi, do you happen to have any licorice wands?"
The stress was real.
Just imagine if you were out there.
Feeling a tap after she asked Moxley for a licorice wand, Noelle breathed in relief as Ava, her wifey, handed her a butterbeer. "Howd you know I needed this?" She asked before Daisy's thoughts came into focus. She was standing ...
Noelle held the mug tight in her hands and stood to watch what was going on in the competition. "COME ON LEVI!! COME ON ETTA!!!" Could they hear her?? She had no idea. She wasn't even nearly as loud as Daisy but she urged them on. Despite that she was head to toe in Gryffindor gear, Etta was still her friend.
"Someone will save them if..." She didn't finish because her eyes traveled over to Professor Myers as he started throwing up.....
Okay, that wasn't a good sign.
Sean was late to this whole champion shin dig.. What was he doing? How did he miss this? It might have been nap related. In fact it was 100% a nap. What kind of sick, twisted liar would say they didn't love a good nap? Anyway he knew he spotted Will, he seemed to be talking up one of the Hogwarts chicks. Good for him.
He was looking for a seat when he noticed Noelle. He liked her so far.. or at least what he knew of her. Which wasn't a lot mind you. But Sean always claimed to be a good judge of character, while he was often wrong he assumed he knew about whether someone was good or bad within moments of meeting him. His internal scanner deemed her 'Good.'
"Hello, Ms. Prefect." The words floating lazily from his smug face as his eyes searched hers for how she might feel about seeing him. "Can i sit with you?" He wasn't really into... 'cheering' for anyone. Sports that didn't have teams and mascots and cheerleaders were a bit boring to him.
Ahh Cheerleaders..
Melbourne was nearly rocking back and forth when she watched Ava hand off the drink to Noelle and knew…she knew she would have to run off and grab something for herself in a bit…a water, a bucket of mint or merlin even just a bucket to vomit into…was…WAS THAT A DEMENTOR? Mel’s eyes were wild when she heard a new voice entering the mix and looked over at Evan.
”y-you…” was all she stammered out when Tenacius and Deo welcomed him over. She just gave him a wary smile her cheeks paling by the minute. ”Hi…Evan I’m Mel,” she muttered out and glanced around at the screens…Dementor.
”…I think I’m going to be sick” she hissed out and glanced over to Sammy when she arrived. HUFFLEPUFF….she was wearing a Hufflepuff scarf this got a grin from Mel…a fleeting panicked grin. ”I’m supporting hufflepuff too” she grinned as she flashed Sammy her little badger pin.
”Hey Maegan! Come join us” she smiled when she saw her feeding Deo…”…whoaaa” Mel tried to laugh when Deo shoved Ace down the line to make room for Mae and Sammy…what was up with that? Did Ace just make Deo get food? Her eyes widened when she heard Daisy’s comments….Dementor…it was a dementor.
”………” what was that noise? Nope…no she was making her usual weird nervous squeaking sound when she turned to look at Tenacius and Sammy in turn…”don’t die” she cried out at the screen as her eyes were transfixed on Carl’s white blonde hair…he was going to die and she was going to be sitting here watching it. She didn’t want to see him die. Nope. He was…He didn’t deserve that. Looking up she spotted the groundskeeper and sent him a smile as he had sent Ace a smile…oh…god she couldn’t see anything that was better. Her eyes were panicked and wide as she looked to at Professor Baldvinsson…”Carl’s going to diiiiiiiiiiieeee” the Gryffindor girl whimpered out as her eyes looked watery and full of terror.
”Professor…they won’t DIE right? They can’t…we won’t let them right?” she asked in panic and really didn’t wait for an answer as she looked over to Tenacius and everyone else and just plucked her feet off of the ground in front of her and wrapped her cloak over her face. She couldn’t watch but she couldn’t leave she was frozen in fear watching one of her best friends stand there and leaning her head against Tenacius looking more like a cocooned bug forming its chrysalis she spoke….”Ace…d-do you want to go with me to Hogsmeade next time we have a weekend?” she asked her words a hushed whisper as she looked over at him through the tiny gap at the top of her cloak chrysalis she even leaned her head on him so she could see his reaction more clearly.

A bit of sensory overload was happening, and the dark-eyed Serpentine lad fell silent for a moment. First there were screams coming from the competition arena, then there was mention of DEMENTORS (!!!) and Deo just froze. "For real?" he mumbled, both dumbstruck and doubtful at the possibility that a real Dementor was being used in the competition. Ok so maybe it was a good idea that he wasnt chosen as the Horned Serpent's champion, he couldnt even do a pathetic silvery wisp of a Patronus.
So instead he turned to Sam and smiled shyly "Yeah I'll have tea thanks." distraction is needed to keep the anxiety at bay. Oh was that Meagan blowing him a kiss? More shy smiling with a healthy shade of blushing. "Supporting Kyle and Aurora of course." he replied. He's supporting all of Ilvermorny naturally, but since his housemates were still in the running, thats who his support belongs to....
Then he saw from the corner of his eye something that just took away his appetite-- did that Hogwarts Professor just puke? Gross! Grimacing, Deo shoves the unfinished burger to his cousin. Have at it bottomless pit.
There was a lot of things going on innit? First the Flying Professor has joined them, feeling that pat on his head, and returning a bright smile his way. Then the sound of someone retching-- what a great combination to one eating eh eh? Yup. Sympathies for you Professor Plantman, forgive the leonine lad for not looking your way, unless you suddenly want a duet of this mornings' breakfast across peoples' heads.
But given how he had avoided that, watch this boy stuff his face in "Thanks Evan!" he warbled between mouthfuls of nachos. Oh! he'd like some cinnamon cocoa. Sure it doesnt match the food he's eating but he doesnt care. "Mmm!" he signaled at Sam as he pointed at the cocoa. Yep one for him please?.... and eh whats this? His cousin his giving him his burger? "You're lookin' a little green Deo." a chuckle escaped his full mouth before grabbing the offered burger.
Yes exciting things happening down there. But paying special attention to his fellow Lions, because just as Dora seems to breeze past the Dementor, she seems to run in trouble with the dude she's trying to save. She didnt hurt him unnecessarily did she? And as for Levi-- YIKES! Knee jerk reaction from the Gryffindor Ace was to send out his own patronus across the stands and towards Levi's Dementor. Corporeal Patronus? Quite achievable. Controlled Corporeal Patronus? Well thats something else. Still a work in progress....
And among all this chaos, a squeaking bestie in the form of TacoMel. Who seems to be talking about something Hogsmeade.... "W-Whut?" Ace blurted confused. He could barely hear her despite her leaning onto him, what with the chaos and excitement and then she's all burrito'd up like that. "What happened at Hogsmeade?" the timing could be better, but if she brings it up he figured it was something important.

It was fair to say that Daisy was fully regretting having accepted the invitation to commentate the first challenge. Truth be told, she had expected to be nervous about Levi but never had she expected Dementors to be included in the challenge. Whenever she had thought about what the tasks might involve, never had she considered Dementors; the only way to effectively stop them was with a Patronus charm, as far as she knew and that was definitely advanced magic. There were fifteen year olds down there, would they even be able to cast a Patronus charm? Noelle and Ava’s cheering for Levi brought her back to reality, as did Professor Baldvinsson’s pat, and she incoherently mumbled a greeting to the man before looking at the two Gryffindors and feeling her lips twitch upwards.
Those screams, she knew, would probably not even reach Levi but it was a strange sort of comfort, to know he had that much support.
The Ravenclaw girl screaming baby words at her only got an eyeroll. Was Dora really not dating Mason? Uhm, how weird. Anyway, it was her mistake.
“I think that’s enough about Ilvermorny, don’t you think?” She said as soon as she cast the Patronus charm, her booming voice echoing across the stands, serious and worried and not particularly steady. “And, for the benefit of our listeners, I should say I threw an empty water bottle at my colleague, nothing harmful.” But if he continued making fun of Levi’s name, she probably would. So be warned, American. Her eyes found the screen once more and she sighed; guess it was time to check how people were risking their lives facing a Dementor to win a scholarship.
“Brent Westwood has now found the dementor and its victim. He … appears to be lost in his thoughts, Brent do someth -- oh, is that chocolate?? I thought chocolate was meant to be used after …. yup, it attracted the Dementor, Brent get out of there!” The Dementor had him be the throat! Her blue eyes looked towards the staff once more; they were going to stop this, right? Because Brent was fifteen and -- another sigh. “Tejashree’s lighting bolt seems to have distracted the Dementor but not enough to get the victim away. Can she do a Patr -- yes, she can! So it’s gone and now she’s transfigurating a rock into chocolate -- ... is that even possible? I guess not everyone got the same memo as Brent.” Or maybe Brent just carried chocolate around everywhere he went, who even knew with that boy?
Brent who was currently being held by a Dementor about to perform to Kiss for a scholarship while people watched and chatted, but the screen showed Carl now. “Uhm .. Carl seems to have been a bit frightened by the screams, let’s hope he hangs in there … there it is, the Dementor … oh, that poor woman is about to .. Carl, do something!!” Innocents. There were innocents in there. What the hell was even going on? “Mason’s strategy is slowing down time to not get hit --- OOOOH, definitely didn’t work. There he goes, rolling around on the ground. Are those twigs in his hair?? He looks serious, I wonder if the Ravenclaw, who is NOT dating Dora Umbridge as I’ve been informed, is about to attempt -- yes, it’s not corporeal but it seems to be enough. Good, Mason!”
“And now for his Dora Umbridge, dating Casper Greenwood.” Another eyeroll at the girl. Honestly, what had she called her? If Daisy wasn’t too busy watching her classmates possibly become soulless, she would ask but as it were, there were other things that were more important. “That silver fox pushed the Dementor back and yet she casts more, along with protection shields. Better safe than sorry, I suppose. Wait … is the man blaming Dora for this?” She squinted her eyes at the screen as if that was going to enable her to listen better, a tiny gasp escaping against her will. “He asked her what she is. Why would he do that? These victims don’t seem to realise what they were faci --- Muggles. Are those Muggles?” She wasn’t sitting down anymore; instead she was standing up again and looking at the staff members present in disbelief. Why would the victims be blaming the competitors? Someone even asked Aurora what that stick was! “You brought in Muggles to be attacked by Dementors?”
Hogwarts, ladies and gentlemen. Take a bow. They truly outdid themselves.
More screams were heard coming from the screen and her attention shifted once more, this time to see Etta trying to run away from a Dementor and trying to save a Muggle. “Etta, no! Screaming at it won’t help, do something! Fast … is it … IS THAT GIRL GETTING HER SOUL SUCKED OUT OF HER?!” For a scholarship?! WHAT? She was moving then, because disrespect or loss of points or detention did not matter right now, not when innocent Muggles were being attacked by Dementors for sport, and if she had to shake some sense into the staff she would, consequences be damned. But then the screen changed again, and showed Levi. Levi, and the Dementor turning to him, gliding towards him and all she could do was watch as her best friend stood there and the creature wrapped his revolting hand around his neck. If Mason’s attempt to slow down time hadn’t worked, something about that image had, and she only realised she was clutching the railing once the her brain became aware of the cold. The Dementor was opening its mouth, right next to Levi’s face and she realised then that her best friend was about to lose his soul to that creature as she stood and watched and people cheered. Suddenly, things started moving again.
“STOP.”
Despite not wanting to tear her eyes away from the screen, Daisy forced herself to and ended the Sonorus charm. Levi’s whimpers were playing on her mind and she pushed through the people on the stands to stand right in front of the staff. The thing is, she didn’t trust any of them. She supposed the trusted Professor Baldvinsson enough but it was too early to tell, so Reed and Hirsch continued to be the only ones who had her trust. So she faced them, hands clinging at the shirt with Levi’s face on it to stop herself from shaking, her wand having been discarded somewhere on the way there. “This is stupid. Stop it now. Bring him -- them out. Stop this. He’s going to die. Bring him out. Now.” She was slightly aware that she very much looked like a toddler throwing a tantrum, in front of the adults with her hands balled into fists and tears in her eyes, but it did not matter because Levi was going to die. He was talking and the words would’ve caused her to smile if the circumstances weren’t this serious, if he wasn’t about to lose his soul unless he managed to cast a Patronus. He was going to die. Maybe the others too, but. She had never been able to hide her bias. But Hirsch could go in there; he could probably cast a Patronus capable of getting rid of all sixteen Dementors in that forest but -- mainly Levi’s.
“Please bring him out. This is not worth it. Please.”
Kyle listened to the announcers and watched the screens. "Brent, a patronus! Now! Come on!" But it's not like he could hear. So many others had cast patronuses. And then the announcer stopped. Kyle looked back wondering what was going on, and when he checked the screens he saw the attacks on the students by dementors. No! Were the students going to die? Were the teachers going to do anything about this? What was going on? Surely nearly dying was not worth getting a scholarship!
Let your light shine || Be the sun || You're important. Always.
Mel got a little wave when Noelle's eyes tore away from the competition for a moment. Reaching for Ava's hand, she held it tight and sipped her butterbeer before her eyes went right back to the competition. Come on...
There were dementors out there. Real. Life. Dementors. It was making Noelle increasingly nervous. Especially since those dementors were getting way too close to her friends. Were they real for real though? Or bogarts??
"They are too close!" Noelle yelled to no one in particular as the dementors inched closer. One had Levi. Etta was screaming. Did they have to produce a real life patronus?? Did whoever made these matches not realize that patronus was an advanced magic skill???? Some couldn't do it. Most couldn't do it. Heck, she couldn't do it.
Noelle clenched Ava's hand until a voice invaded her thoughts. Sean. Only, the voice seemed to startle her like she was watching a scary movie, only this was real life. The butterbeer she had in her free hand went flying as her hand went waving. "Merlin's beard, Sean" When she turned her head to look at him, it looked like her butterbeer had accidentally flew on him. Opps. "Merlin... Im sorry... are you okay??"
Hearing Daisy say stop, Noelle looked away form Sean and back at the competition. She watched Daisy look to some of the professors for help in stopping the competition. Noelle was a moment away from backing her up when her eyes went back to the competition.
Levi had his wand in the dementors face. Did he just do a patronus???
"YYES!!!! GO LEVI!!!!" Noelle yelled and jumped up and down. Take that! Now...
Lowering her voice, she looked at Hirsch too. "Daisy's right professor. This is too much. Dementors?? most wizards cant produce patronus'. We have to help!"

Lucy had so many mixed feelings about attending today, about the tournament in general. It was...heartless that the staff invited an entire school to theirs this year, given everything that happened last. Acting like nothing happened last year. No apologies, no mentions. Then acting like their school was safe enough to hold twice the amount of students and have them compete. She didn't want to show her support of it. Because she had none.
However, she had a couple of friends competing. They, at least, deserved her support. So here she was.
Only to be proven completely right as the task grew increasingly dangerous. And her eyes filled with empathetic tears for the competitors....and then for Daisy.
Oh, Daisy.
Not wanting to intrude, the fifth year watched the girl from her spot, ready to offer...anything.

Ohhhh this was so exciting, but were they screaming? OH MY GOSH why were they screaming? Her eyes widened as she watched them all. This was so nerve wracking. She heard someone doing a cheer with her and turned to see Charlie. That was her cue to get back up, yes it was.
"Jump, shout
Don’t be lazy
You gotta kick those Dementors
And go crazy
Go go crazy, go go crazy"
She shook her pompoms at the stands. Was her Headmistress going to come and cheer with her? These competitors needed their support and it was so scary that they could use all the support they could get.
"GO ILVERMORNY"
Setting her pompoms back down she smiled at the girl next to her (Sam) "Oh just Ilvermorny. I want them all to do well." She was certainly more for school spirit than just one. Though it was getting intense and what was going on with Brent. "Oh gosh, oh gosh, don't hurt him.." She was biting at her nails with nerves watching him. "YOU LEAVE BRENT ALONE DEMENTOR"
She glanced at the girl with a blush before going back to the competitors. He will be okay, they won't let him die, what the hell was she talking about this was Hogwarts and she heard stories!!
She heard Will and he got a smile and a wave. He was cute and the fact that he was helping cheer on the team made her really wish she had room to do some tumbling. Did he have a Hogwarts girlfriend already? She eyed his arm around the girl a few minutes before she grabbed her pompoms again.
" Charge up
Fight to win
Never give up
Never give in "
Shaking her pompoms she did a smaller jump and jumped up and down clapping before her eyes were back on the competitors. What was going on? She listened to the announcers to get the facts. She was so thankful that she hadn't been picked watching this. She would have died! No way would she have gotten through that.
He made his way back into the stands in time to hear Daisy and Noelle lose their MARBLES over the challenge. Still breathing quite heavily, he replied calmly, "Keep watching, dears. Don't freak out just yet."
Honestly.
Did they think he and his colleagues, plus the others involved in this, were that cruel? HE? PAUL MYERS? Certainly not.

A simple nod of her head was returned to Laurel's question about Hogwarts playing host to the Ilvermornians. Of course it was exciting. The competition, seeing old faces once again, it probably was more exciting to her than most. Regina, in spite of all the behind-the-scenes work that had gone into IMPS, felt quite at ease with the Northern Americans roaming about.
As her fellow colleagues arrived one by one, the headmistress gave each of them a courteous nod of her head. She even gave some students a smile as well as they too began to get settled in. ... Then Paul happened. The woman didn't even have time to respond to him because the challenge was beginning on the screen before them and she had more important matters to focus on. She hadn't even noticed him later run off and then return to his seat.
Her eyes shifted across the screen, one after the other, as the self-inking quill in her hand fervently moved from left to right, taking note of those who made a fine use of runes, those who were being so vigilant, and several other things going on that impressed her. The chearing and, at times, screaming of the students (it was amusing how into it they were, considering the competitors were nowhere near the stands) didn't phase her as she watched and wrote. In fact, it gave her the necessary clues of were to flick her eyes at with a neutral appearance. A small smile tugged at her lips, though it went away just as quickly as it appeared. She knew what was coming.
Dementors. As a former Defence professor, she was curious to see how each of the students would react. By this time in their magical career, a Patronus -- even if it wasn't corporeal -- would have proved ones magical ability, and it was those who could do that, in her eyes, that were worthy of being in the competition.
There were times, however, when the commentating and some of the students questions distracted Regina from her note-taking. Needless to say, it took everything in her not to roll her eyes as she went back to making marks on her paper. There were security measures in place, many trained eyes were on location watching the competitors and would jump in when it was truly necessary. No one in the stands could do anything. As for them bringing in Muggles ... well, everyone would find out soon enough. Adults actually did think things through, believe it or not. Children could be such a Dorcus sometimes.
Blue eyes flicked back to the screens, but it didn't take her long to continue scribbling away the moment Brent Westwood's Patronus was revealed to them all even after being grabbed by the foul creature. That small smile of hers snuck onto her face for a brief moment, proud.

Rooney had been pretty quiet the entire time up until now, eating his food and just observing. Maybe judging his peers for their complaining. They understood that those taking part in this competition would face things that tested them, yes? There were staff on standby and enough spectators. Nothing terrible was going to happen. There wasn't going to be nightmares relating back to this on a daily basis. There wasn't going to be therapy needed. They wouldn't doubt their magic when their instincts kicked in and everything went right. They were always going to be remembered as 'those competitors'. Did t they know how lucky they were???
But as quick as his judgement happened, the Head Boy was BAWLING. Bawling tears at Brent Westwood and all of this Skylar stuff. HOW ROMANTIC WAS THAT. SOB.

She had to sit down and bite her nails as she watched the screen. This was so intense, maybe she should do more cheers to get everyone excited. These competitors needed all the sorts of cheering when the gloom seemed to be setting in with the Demntors. She got up and turned to the crowd to start another, but stop and froze.
Brent say what?
She stared at the screen and looked around. That name was from the lake,
the girl that had come over. Her eyes didn't leave the screen when she took her seat. She wasn't dating him, she broke up with him. She had no right to be upset. She clearly as upset though and she placed her pompoms in her lap and sat quietly. She kept her eyes on the screen to make it seem like shew as still watching, but her mind wasn't on cheering them on at the moment.
She'd get back to cheering, but even a cheerleader had to take a minute with the news of the ex getting a new pretty girlfriend.

Levi had his wand in the dementors face. Did he just do a patronus???
"YYES!!!! GO LEVI!!!!" Noelle yelled and jumped up and down. Take that! Now...
Lowering her voice, she looked at Hirsch too. "Daisy's right professor. This is too much. Dementors?? most wizards cant produce patronus'. We have to help!"
Okay, Noelle was nervous. She could feel it because MERLIN'S BEARD SHE GRIPPED HER HAND VERY TIGHT! Ava did see Mel and gave her a small wave but well her eyes could not take off from the screen! Would be any victim fall down on this first round? Hopefully not. Merlin, the Gryffindor could not imagine what would happen on the next rounds.
Also, did Noelle just accidentally threw her hot butterbeer to a dude's (Sean) face? Ava tried not to laugh. "Sorry for her. You need a handkerchief?" She offered
It was a dementor and looked like Levi could cast a patronus, although it's not a corporeal one but it was still a thing, okay??? When Daisy and Noelle asked the professor if they could stop the competition, Ava did not add any comment. She might be a little bit naive but deep down she knew that all the competitors could face this and the professors wouldn't put something too dangerous for them. Moving on to another screen.... Hold on. Ava could not help but pay attention at the Slytherin male champion (Brent) because.... HE JUST ASKED SKYLAR DIGGORY OUT TO BE HIS GIRLFRIEND!
That was one of the most romantic thing that she had ever seen!
Her brown eyes lurked around, where was Skylar? SHE SHOULD SAY YES!! Ahem, Burton. Let's focus back to the competition, shall we?

Kyle gasped as Brent asked Skylar out right before summoning his patronus! And what a cute one, too! He wondered what the girl's reaction would be. Of course, he had never met the girl, so he had no clue who to look for in the stands. But hopefully at the end of the challenge, he would get a yes. Good on him for conjuring up something happy so he could face the dementor!
Mel’s attention had been taken by Daisy’s comments…what in – what was happening? The panic was back, the fear that her friends were going to die that people were going to be hurt was becoming too much. What had people been thinking setting up this stupid event? Sure, school was great and all but really? THEY WERE ENDANGERING PEOPLES LIVES wizard and muggle alike!
From inside of her little chrysalides hiding cloak safe Space Mel was feeling ready to pretend that everything going on around them wasn’t real. ”I should go” the Gryffindor whispered her words were soft and almost inaudible as she began adjusting her cloaks around her. ”Hogsmeade?” she gulped.
So he had heard her.
Adjusting her cloaks around her the Gryffindor heard Daisy’s words and felt her jaw drop. Reality was breaking around her. ”no no no no no” was all she could sputter out before she saw it was true. MUGGLES? What kind of sick joke was this? All she wanted to do was go find Hadley and thank her for not hating wizard kind all together considering how cruel this was…where was she – wait. Hogsmeade.
”I’ll…talk to you about that later we need to get this thing shut down…they’re going to get people killed” Mel’s eyes were welling with tears now and her cloak was settling back into a normal non-burrito cloak. ”th-that could have been y-you or Hadley!...they…they’re using muggles like p-pawns in a g-game of chess” Melbourne’s lip wibbled as tears started streaming down her face. What was she going to do. ”I should have known something was going to go wrong the minute I asked you on a date” she spoke the words with a bit more bite than she had intended as if her question was the reason that muggles and wizards alike were about to have their souls sucked out.
……..”I’ll…bye” she muttered as she tried to get up to leave – ugh…right that was impossible. Muttering excuse me she tried to step past Tenacius and the group. She needed to find her cousin to say she was glad she wasn’t in this competition to say she was glad she wasn’t one of the people she was being forced to watch die….oh…Brent, Mel’s laugh broke out in a strangled way. She was happy he was asking Sky to date him but still, she didn’t want to be stuck watching anyone die.
It wasn't working.
Moving away and leaving wasn't working. It was like the crowds were getting tighter together and she couldn't move.

Clarify all you want you still threw something at him. SO RUDE. He did not even throw anything at her. And it was true her boyfriend or whatever was named after jeans. Just accepted it. Maddox just sat back and watch the screens and well Hogwarts students were entertaining. Wait what was this about muggles. Weird if they actually did bring muggles in. Maddox doubted it but hey anything was possible. Well, almost anything. He wasn't getting another partner for this thing. She really left him in an interesting spot to continue. She was focused on her boyfriend and well considering what was happening he would rather just let her continue.
But oh well.
Time for him to get back to it and keep up the cheering Madelyn and everyone else.
"OK WELL GIVE A HAND TO THE HOGWARTS CHAMPS SO FAR BUT BACK TO ILVERMORNY. LACHLAN HAS CHOSEN NOT TO USE THE PATRONUS AND LOOK AT THAT DIFFINDO. INTERESTING STRAT AND WELL I THINK WE ALL KNEW IT WAS NOT GOING TO WORK IF THE GIANT FLAME BALL DID NOT WORK. PATRONUS LACHLAN PATRONUS." Seriously it seemed to be the only thing working. But well why not try something like that first and if nothing happens. Try a Patronus. It was a hard spell "SEEMS SHE DID NOT LIKE THE WORD LEVITATE LOUISE. ARE THEY REALLY MUGGLES LIKE MY CO-COMMENTATOR THINKS OR I DONT KNOW. OOOO DONT CALL HER A CREATURE. THAT IS NOT A NICE THING TO CALL SOMEONE. WHAT WAS SHE DOING NOW. OOOO LOOKS LIKE SHE IS USING A GALDRS IS THAT RIGHT FOR TWO OF THEM. YEAH LETS GO WITH THAT. STILL CONFUSED ABOUT WHY SHE IS USING RUNES"
Seriously he was.
"OH JESUS DONT PUT YOUR WAND AWAY. OK GOOD HE HAS IT OUT AGAIN. AND WHAT IS HE DOING. WAIT HE SERIOUSLY SPLASHED THE GUYS FACE WITH WATER????? WELL, THAT IS ONE WAY TO WAKE SOMEONE UP AND WHOA THAT IS A LOT OF QUESTIONS. EVEN WITH HIM SO HAPPY. WAY TO PLAY IT COOL JESUS. YES BEST TO GET HIM AWAY AND TOO SAFTEY. WELP NOW VALERIE HAS A DEMENTOR FREE KID. GOOD JOB AND NICE DAYDREAM CHARM. THOUGH I BET THE CHOCOLATE HAD A BETTER EFFECT THAT THAT. THAT. KEEP WITH THE QUESTIONS THOUGH I DONT KNOW ABOUT CALLING YOURSELF A FAIRY THOUGH. MIGHT SCARE THE KID WORSE THAN THE DEMENTOR" If you told Maddox they were a fairy at even that age he would probably laugh in their face. Hope the kid believes her. She looks more like a ghost than a fairy, especially in the dark forest. "ONE SEC IF ANYONE HAS LOST CHOCOLATE RAISE THEIR HAND BECAUSE YOU CAN BLAME KYLE BAKER FOR IT. JUST SAYIN. GOOD CALL ON THE BLANKET KYLE. OOOH KYLE YOU CAN LIE BETTER THAN THAT. STILL NOT AN AWFUL ONE FOR BEING PUT ON THE SPOT." He could have done better but well none of them were doing fantastic so well he was doing ok for being Broody Kyle. Anyway onto Irene Adler Avery. "KEEP THE KID TALKING IRENE. GOOD GOOD. THOUGH BEST NOT BRING UP THE CREATURE. NOT A HAPPY THOUGHT THERE." Irene seemed to be doing good and Maddox was a little proud. "AURORA PINKY PROMISE DO THE PINKY PROMISE. SEE LOOK WHAT PINKY PROMISES CAN DO. NOW ALL THEY NEED TO DO WAS GET OUT OF THE FOREST RIGHT??? AIDEN WHY BRING UP THE MONSTER. IT MIGHT MAKE THE BOY MORE SCARED SEE LOOK AT THOSE TEARS. BRIBING HIM WITH CHOCOLATE IS A GOOD START AND KEEPING HIM THINKING OF SOMETHING ELSE. ALRIGHT"
Was that full water bottles his co-commentator had.
Maddox was just staring at them now......Hmm.....
He was going to have to ask eventually.
