If someone was looking at her, it was very likely that it would be threatening, and she would need to take precautionary measures. Using her peripheral vision, she sought out what looked to be... just a spectator. Hmm. Karina was still suspicious; she watched the spectator's eyes roam the crowd and made a mental note keep an eye on her.


A slow start to the round, a bit disappointing really, Emily had hoped there would be beasts, opponents or something combustible... alas, not yet. Yet. Which meant there was hope.

In the meantime she was particularly amused by said little redhead stealing glances at her. We see you. We see you looking whilst making it look like you weren't. Emily smirked, huffing to herself before burning the girl in the back of the head with her gaze. Didn't like to be watched? Well this would be good fun. It only added to her amusement to see the girls little friends... all foreigners by the looks, and sounds.. yes accents carried. Fascinating... not.

Though, she didn't want to miss the action, it was the reason she had come all this way, of course. The good stuff, the problem solving, the pressure, the mild chaos. Beauxbatons looked to be weakest, which didn't surprise her, and the Hogwarts representatives seemed to be doing surprisingly well. Durmstrang, thoughts of her mother aside, would be in for a treat, they were in for a challenge.



SPOILER!!: Alexa

Finally her brain said no more and she was ready to come watch!!! It was gonna be epic. Hogwarts was gonna WIN. Obviously. Obviously they would win. Were the other schools living in some fantasy that they would let them come here and LEAVE with prize money? Oh no, it was staying riiiight hereee.

Alexa entered the stands and tried finding a good enough spot to watch. Hopefully somewhere that had her friends? That would be nice.

While scanning the area she caught sight of a man (Dietrich) pelting people with jelly slugs. Neat! "Hey, Mister Sir? Can I have some of those?" Might as well if he was gonna waste it and just across from him a woman (Enzo) with really nice hair. "Your hair's LOVELY! Has anyone ever told you that? It glistens, I can tell." Lex said, taking a few locks into her hands and admiring them. "Very nice."

Glancing across she spotted Karina with that Mischa boy. They both got a grin and a way. This was all so exciting. With any luck they'd release something life threatening. AND CASSIA!!!! "HAI CASSIA!!!" One did not see their best friend and simply not say hi. "Did I miss anything interesting???" No? Glancing down, it didn't look like it. West and Alec were carving and those other schools were only still discussing. Hehehe Hogwarts kids be SMART!

The next person to catch her attention was none other than Professor Bentley. "Hiiiii Professor! I think I finally got myself fully done and prepared for this thing! Spent most of last night and into this morning trying to read stuff." Her eyes were only burning slightly but she was READY!!! BRING ON THE MAN EATING PLANTS!!!!


Seren was intrigued and excited, keeping mostly to herself and watching the arena like a hawk, hoping the students wouldn't be harmed, and that they'd win. Alec and West were rather impressive, getting right into the thick of things, carving before any of the others... Hogwarts was looking pretty good at this stage. Even though it was early days, it was still exceptionally promising, by boosting morale, they were definitely in a position to win. Not to mention they had home-ground advantage.

"Alexa!" Seren greeted warmly, already thrilled to hear the Lions preparation was going well. As it should too. "Fantastic, feeling confident?" she asked, "Eating, sleeping properly? Remember you need to look after yourself to be at your best."
