 Bathes in Maple Syrup | Dancing Lobster | Mrs. Charlie Weasley | Seneca's Beard | That's So Fetch
The YATI raised an eyebrow when he saw that his opponent was no one other than Charlotte Kettleburn. The intimidation vibe that he was more than prepared to give off was clearly not going to work now. They knew each other fairly well, and Frankie was pretty fond of her in comparison to some of the other lions. The girl standing opposite him had that advantage, granted it wasn't much of one.
A chuckle escaped his lips when the girl told him not to scar her and then called him Mr. Paton. He bowed the moment she did, but, before turning away, he replied with a smirk, "Don't make it easy for me to scar you then." He walked a few steps away and then quickly added, "And that's Auror Paton, Char. Mr. Paton is my father." With that said, the adult got into position and waited to see what the fifth year lion had up her sleeve.
When the purple firecrackers started going off, Frankie resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Had he been a first year, that might have worked well enough to distract him. But he was a grown man now, vigilant, and had learned a new thing or two. His shield charms, which he quickly casted nonverbally, were also stronger than ever. The snowballs that were sent his way pelted the shield, having no effect on him whatsoever.
Not taking a moment to hesitate, the blond clicked his wand and shouted, "Avis! Oppugno!" While a flock of yellow birds erupted from the tip of his wand and darted toward Charlotte, he sneakily made use of the Doubling Charm. He hoped that the birds served their purpose as a good distraction because he really wanted to see the look on Charlotte's face when she looked back and saw three of him.
