Ooh, french. Fighting the urge to furrow his brows, since he wasn't fluent to respond back in the same language. He kept his smile though saying, "Ah... no ma'am, but my girlfriend Indy Hutchinson did for fifth year. I was at Durmstrang until then." He was pretty glad to have her occasionally speak it to him enough to recognize a few words, like "vous" for "you" and those connecting helped. "Your school sounds wonderful from what she's told me." France was beautiful, after all, so it was only natural.
Later on throughout the first task, things were going great. Wade was the edge of his seat watching West & Alec. "Yes, go you guys!" He hadn't paid much attention to how the other schools were going, things were just getting intense you know. He just wished he could get a little closer.. Hmm.. maybe he ought to get here earlier for the next task whenever it happens. Hey.. was that? Yes! Hogwarts was clear to move on. Wade clapped very enthusiastically for them before pumping his fist. "YEA! Way to go Spiffy Lec and West!"
For the second task, Wade was quite excited to watch. After they all had lunch, and Wade was done with his third BLT+Pickle sandwich, he soon followed making his way for a better view.. Oh, hello there group. He smiled at Min who was with Ethan, Ariana, and Claudette. They got beaming smiles from him too. "Hey.. don't mind if I do." Joining right in the sit with them, "How are you guys doing? It's quite exciting, isn't it?" Now did he know Claudette? "Oh.. yeah," Looking at Claudette, "That stuffed animal of yours still good?" He remembered helping her out some with it.
"Just came back here myself," Grinning, "Yeah, it sure looked tough what they had to do." Well, you know between all the thinking. He knew enough about runes, but with Divination.. yep. Oh yeah, Indy's whereabouts. "She's at an appointment for career advice.. Said she'd be here eventually." Hopefully.. Anyway, now he was looking out towards the arena.... Say, it was the Chocolate lover and his Head Buddy now down there. "Whoa, I think it's starting again soon."

She really did like her cousin's girlfriend and thought of her more than just that.. a friend or family even.. and she felt like she hadn't seen her as much as she thought she might. Of course the other girl had her own friends and she wouldn't expect any more time form her than anyone else, but they could use some girl time. "Library or common room.. got it," she nodded. Neither of those places were ones she really visited, having belonged to a different house and not wanting to pay to get into the library, but she figured she'd still find her around. She thought over the question for a moment and allowed her green eyes to drift between the arenas of two schools. She still wasn't sure. The blonde turned back to Minerva and gave her a small smile and shrug. "Oh.. I don't know.. I'm still a Beauxbatons girl at heart, but it's hard not to want Hogwarts to win too. So.. both?" She chuckled knowing that was a lame answer. "What about you Ethan?" she turned the question on him next. "You went to both schools.. who would you cheer for?"
She looked up briefly as a couple more joined their group. Ariana who got a small, acknowledging wave and Wade who got a smile in addition to the wave. The French girl gave Min a nod.. yes, she did know her fellow prefect. "The unicorn is holding up quite well, thanks," she said, gratefully remembering his help with that attraction. "I ended up with two somehow.." she added with an awkward little shrug. That had been kind of weird, but whatever. Was this task finishing up? She heard a few cheers from the stands and turned her attention back to the arenas.
Ethan let his arm loosely drape around Minerva's waist as he sat next to her, leaning a little closer to hear what she had to say about this competition. He was really proud that she would be competing as well, though not at all surprised. She was one of the top students of the school.
"Oh, I know you'll do great, Min. And you have great time-management skills, you'll handle that just fine.." It wasn't until after break anyway, right? He was sure she had plenty of time. He was just about to ask what subject she would compete in when she asked him to guess.
"Um.. transfiguration?" he guessed after a moment's thought. It was one of her best subjects.. and he remembered her helping him with that subject fondly. That would be a fairly good guess as far as he was concerned.
He glanced over at Claudette as the two girls discussed who they'd be cheering for. It was obvious who Min would want to win, but Claudette? Even Ethan wasn't sure, though he'd figure Beauxbatons if he had to guess.. but apparently even she wasn't sure, he noticed with a chuckle. And when the question was turned on to him, he only needed a moment's thought.
"I'd have to say Hogwarts.. I feel like I know the competitors from this school better." Not to mention he now knew his girlfriend would be competing. He gave her a smile and reached for her hand to give it a squeeze.
He noticed that Ariana had come and sat down next to Min on her other side and he leaned forward slightly to give her a nod in greeting.
"Hey Ariana.. how's it going?" Oh, and there was Wade coming over to join them as well. He got a grin as he sat near their group.
"Hey Wade.." At his words, he glanced back out to the competition areas, wishing he could see a little more.
"It is pretty exciting," he agreed.
"Especially with having the different schools all competing with each other.. though it would be nice if we were closer to the action," he added with a chuckle. He vaguely wondered if that focusing charm Flamsteed taught them last term would help in this situation.
Oh.. was it lunch time? The rumbling in his stomach told him that Minerva was right.
"Sure.. I could probably eat something.." But that was pretty much a given. He could always eat.. especially when it was a meal time.
"I can go with you though.." He came here to see her, he wasn't about to let her go serve him like that when he could take the walk with her.
Minerva smiled at
Wade as he did decide to join them and she was glad he knew Claudette easier that way she felt.
“Doing great” Of course she was doing great didn’t he see Ethan sitting right next to her.. FANTASTIC DAY RIGHT THERE!
“How are you?” She glanced at the arena,
“Yeah I guess it’s exciting. Doesn’t seem like to much going on except them working out problems. We probably should watch closely, maybe learn a few things.” She smile and winked at Wade a bit, they would be down there soon enough so teammates unit and all that jazz.
“Well hopefully she’ll be here soon. I’ve forced you two to spend so much time with me, it feels weird without both of you.” She laughed a bit. Looking down as he said it was starting again Min nudged Ethan,
“This round is Herbology.” That would probably take his focus from her, but oh well she could just enjoy his arm around her.
Min shrugged as
Ari said she ate,
“No that’s fine. I can wait until later unless E or Claudette want something.” She looked to those two when Ethan said he could go.
“Sure we can get something. I can’t let you starve sitting here.” she chuckled knowing he was always hungry unless something had changed while he had been off at Uni. Glancing back at Ari,
“Going to cheer loud for Kat?” did you cheer at these things? Minerva wasn’t even sure.
“She wasn’t too nervous was she?” Terrified sounded about the way Min was going to feel in front of everyone.
Minerva glanced back at Claudette as she tried to decide who she was cheering for,
“Honestly Claudette it really doesn’t matter you don’t have to fret over it.” She didn’t want the girl to think to hard or anything when she saw her glancing back and forth.
“Both sounds great.” She chuckled, but eyed her own boyfriend when the question turned to him. He did go to Beauxbatons for while didn’t he. Min tend to forget that for some reason anymore, he had just fit so nicely into Hogwarts and into her life that she liked thinking he was there the whole time, but plant boy best be saying Hogwarts especially when this blonde was going to be part of it.
“So classes going alright Claudette? Not having any trouble, are you?” She did worry about her friend hoping she was getting along alright. She listened as she talked to Wade, oh the prefect event,
“Did you have fun at least and two, how did you get two?” Had they talked about this, Minerva couldn’t remember.
Moving a bit closer to Ethan she was going to enjoy this time. Anytime was special to her.
“So what do you think they’ll do for the Herbology? I know you are great at it, but if there are evil plants I don’t think I could have sat here watching you do a dangerous task.” She couldn’t help it, those flesh eaters were still horrible in her eyes even if she had made progress with the others. Smiling she leaned kissing him on the cheek,
“Hogwarts was your final school and I’m still here of course you are routing for them.” She laughed jokingly, but not. She beamed at his guess,
“You know me so well, you’re right. I’m actually being paired with Wade, so it should be great.” She glanced at Wade smiling.
She turned her focused on the only one that said about food,
“Well we can go if you want, but I think Kat and Alexa started, so if you want to stay we can wait. I’ll leave that up to you. I’m good either way.” She was content sitting with his arm around her squinting to see whatever was going on down below.
“School going alright?” She figured it was since she usually talked to him in their mirrors, but she figured she would ask anyway.
