 Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - ❄ Lunar Library Lurker ❄ - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror
He had gotten a few bumps with various other cars and Ben was beginning to wonder if what he was feeling was what a pinball felt like in a pinball machine. The second year wasn't even aware of who was hitting him and wasn't all to concerned about knowing. It was all a part of the activity and he'd rather not make anyone feel guilty for the action that was causing him discomfort if he happened to catch sight of them as it happened or in the aftermath. He just wished he was being more successful himself to make it all worth it.
So far there was no Gryffindor red balloons tied up because of him. No Hufflepuff yellow, Ravenclaw blue or Slytherin green balloons tied up even through his actions. Just a handful of failed attempts. Benjamin would much rather have a handful of red string. Just one...that was all he was asking for.
Getting his chair to move again, Ben went in search of a target. There were several options still available and as he neared a group, the second year attempted to drive with one hand, the other out to grab for whatever he could wind up with. Finally he just grabbed for something, nearly holding his breath as he drew it closer, smiling happily when he noticed the color.
"YES!" Now just to get it to the hurdle. With a start, he headed in the direction of the hurdle, finally making a break for it. His luck was holding up at the moment and when he had reached it, leaned over to tie the string of the red balloon tightly around the Gryffindor hurdle.
That's one.
