Were it not for the fact that they were currently discussing stuff she might have been bouncing about the terrace with ideas of what the challenges would be like.

It. Was. LIKELY!! There was this really good chance that at least one part of the challenge would have something man-eating and that just made it even more intriguing. Also, ahem, Professor Bentley just said it required higher skills and especially quick thinking. NOW she was swelling with pride, but only because they thought she could hold her own against a carnivorous plant. She WAS pretty good at staying alive. "I think I'll be able to handle it." She said with a definite nod. "I'm particularly good at not dying." GRIN.
Okay. This was where she needed to be at a normal level of hyper, otherwise everything the Professor said would go right over her head. So! Checking OWLs and NEWTs! She could do that! She'd start by asking Alice who did them last year....and she could ask Vivi too--whoa wait hold on. She wanted her going to the library with the turnstiles even though she didn't make a habit of reading? "I'll...uh...pass on the library unless I absolutely have no other choice." Reading. No.
"Are there rules against sabotage as well?" Just curious.
Seren had high hopes for the Lioness.. very high hopes indeed, and the fact that Alexa was excited about the event, and seemed to be motivated only added to her confidence and enthusiasm. Although... good at not dying, wasn't exactly a phrase that inspired confidence and competence. Merlin.
"Not dying is good, but that would likely only be half of the task.." because there would be a goal or outcome which would need to be achieved.
"A bit of bed time reading and revision wouldn't go astray..." but with that being said, Seren didn't expect Alexa to read, much of anything.
This was only confirmed by her disinterest in visiting the library. No surprise there.
"That's perfectly fine, a practical approach would be more beneficial." Seren was still playing with her keys, mindlessly playing with her keys.
"Should you want to play around in greenhouse eight, just let me know.. I'd be happy to supervise, or arrange for supervision." Because despite Lex being selected as one of their champions, so to speak, Seren wasn't prepared to leave her in a greenhouse full of challenging flora. Flesh-eaters making up a healthy percentage of them, amongst other dangerous, even fatal... plants. Curiosity will not be killing this cat on her watch.
Sabotage?
Seren stopped playing with her keys and leant forward, resting her elbows on the table.
"Well... as with any competition or contest, I would assume that cheating, or sabotage, is unacceptable." Though, what was Alexa thinking? Seren was starting to think the Gryffindor was an evil mastermind in the making... maybe.
"However, I'm sure there will be little opportunity for such things. After all, the task will only be revealed on the day." Ergo, how do you sabotage something you have little to no knowledge of?
