The former Slytherin didn't care if others joined him or not. It was a proud moment for Hogwarts.

"WAY TO WORK IT OUT, WEST!" Rune buddies, he and the Odessa had been. If there was anyone in the school that could've done a better job, Dylan wanted proof...and even then, he wouldn't have bought it.

Didn't he hear him when he said the boys? Botros corrected him gently, "Professor Elwood and I have never doubted Mr. Odessa's or Mr. Summers' capability." Botros was so proud of his hardworking students!

... oh, now that was unfair and a little insensitive. Ab frowned up at the Slytherin alumnus but quickly heard one of the judges speak in their direction. Uh oh. Ahem. Botros agreed with her, but didn't utter a word. She was one of the judges and if he accidentally got on her bad side... well, it would be disastrous. And unprofessional.

He pulled the former Quidditch captain closer to him and away from the judge in case the young guy felt like... snapping at her or something. "It just isn't the school-spirit a Hogwarts student should possess, son." Even if it was out of pride and excitement.
