"Very confident! Super confident! Ready! Very Ready!" Don't bounce! Don't bounce! Don't bounce! Remain calm. It was just man-eating plants. No big deal. Nothing to get overly excited about but nothing would dislodge the grin from her face.
She nodded a couple times as the Professor spoke. Sleeping well was relative, she slept enough and candy counted as eating well, yes? No? She wouldn't ask just in case. "Have I missed much? I heard we're leading so far. Would have been here sooner but you know." Lunch time, she was waiting eagerly for lunch time.
Oh LOOKIT!!! Elodie was here now.
"HAI ELS!!" The Hufflepuff was plenty excited and it was making her forget that she was upset at the moment at a certain ex-Hufflepuff. Today was just a really exciting day. This tournaments with their tasks, one of which she would be entering. She was already having trouble trying to remain calm. Merlin, she might just hyperventilate when she actually got down there! Or no, no, she'd have to focus so they could WIN.
Excellent, wonderful, brilliant.. Seren was certain she was grinning from head to toe.
"Good, I'm sure you'll show them what Hogwartian's are made of," she noted condfidently. The foreign students seemed to be quite unusual, very, standoffish and perhaps a little skittish... seemed easily rattled, or at least not very comfortable in their surroundings. Home advantage was great.
"You didn't miss much more than I did," Seren acknowledged with a shrug ,
"but from what I can gather, we're doing very well." Leaps and bounds ahead of the others, the boys were speedy, and Botros taught them well.
SPOILER!!: Karina and Ström

It's better to let her think you are not bothered. the Scandinavian thought to herself in her native Swedish. Finally she could not take it anymore. She turned to flip her hair and "accidentally" caught the woman staring; now she had an excuse to stare back. Lasers practically shot from her eyes, don't mess with me was their clear meaning. She didn't take kindly to enemies, and this woman was quickly becoming one. Look, the woman was even smirking like she thought this was funny; Karina glared.

He caught Karina sneaking a peak over her shoulder at someone and followed her glance over to a woman (Emily) sitting in the row behind them. Watching. Not the task, but themselves, his girlfriend in particular. Not cool, lady. 'Knock it off,' he mouthed to her before turning back around and checking his watch.
Nearly lunchtime.....
Oooooh lookit, the girl was reacting, like a child... how sweet, and positively disgusting. Emily's expression didn't change, the girl didn't make her feel uncomfortable let alone startle, so meh. She'd been about to ask the foreigner if there was a problem, but her attention soon turned to the boy beside her, mouthing a... was that a warning? How cute.
Headstrong. Annoying. Children.
The fact that they were Durmstrang students annoyed her more. She knew this because of their accents, which were clearly not French, and nor was it British... not to say all Hoggies were Brits, but more or less.
Then there was their behaviour and attitude, so much 'tude; it was characteristic, even cliche of them. Emily was almost tempted to converse in tongue to them. It had been a while since she used her Swedish - her mother would be proud, for sure - but her Czech and Russian were quite strong. One of them would surely strike a chord.
"Is there a problem?" she asked innocently enough, making a show of taking a moment to look around the stadium at the other spectators before fixing her gaze back on the pair.
------------ TASK TWO BENTLEY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the second time that day,
Seren returned to the stands to observe the competition, this time, task two... the one she was most nervous and excited about. She knew she had done the right thing in nominating Alexa, and it came as no surprise that the Gryffindor was selected to represent the school. The girls enthusiasm and dedication in her preparation was promising, because if Lex was a whizz at Herbology without completing the assigned reading, without studying the subject in her own time... then this added focus would only increase her capabilities. In addition to that, Alexa seemed the best candidate to support Katrina and complement the Slytherin's skills. Team work, would be critical.
She'd made certain that she wouldn't be late this time, and as a result was present, VERY present for the start. Watching the girls enter the cave gave her goosebumps, and she was anxious to see what their task would be. Hopefully, it would be something they've been prepared for in class. Fingers crossed.
