Which didnt sit well with him seeing as how he was sitting right beside her,
holding her hand.
Dude
Not to mention Kirk was that his name? Sam had no idea and his girlfriend were there too which kinda made it obvious that Sam and Dana were something... If only Sam could get the courage to ask her out. Properly.
It wouldn't happen right now though. Definitely not in front of everyone.
He was a tomato faced boy right now, trying to shrink into his seat. He wouldn't even look at the screen to see what was happening but could tell from Dana and Kirk's commentating and the noise in the crowd.
As for the water, Sam shook his head. "Don't think that's smart to remove my bubble head charm." She was commentating and hehad to muffle his ears in some way. "M-maybe after.... we c-could get something to eat...
and drink." BEET. RED. Quote:

Maybe that was due to the fact that she had simply read his lips (stared at them…mainly) or the fact that she just knew. Even she felt more comfortable around him right now especially as they were watching the screens ahead of them. Sure, sure he was also commentating but that was only half of it. He had a calming effect on her.
”I’m happy to be here,…besides, I wanted to show my support” she grinned at him even going so far as to lean her head against his shoulder as she settled back into her seat. This was too intense, Mel’s stomach was in knots as she glanced over to Dana and gave her a wavering smile. ”please, take as much as you need,” she practically whispered to the girl – fully intent on properly introducing herself after everything was over.
It happened so quickly. One moment she was busy watching the screens and the next, the next it was over? Oh merlin…that was good she wasn’t ready to watch anyone be eaten by a venomous snake thank you very much. ”You two were wonderful commentators,” she smiled over to Dana and Kirk in turn her smile softening as she looked at Kirk. ”I’m not just saying it” she added and sighed even though she wanted to rest her head against his shoulder again she simply glanced over to Dana and smiled. ”hi! I should have introduced myself earlier but you were…well, commentating? I’m Melbourne!” her smile was bright as she glanced over to Kirk, her hand had at one point in the conversation migrated onto his shoulder where her head had previously rested. ”Kirk’s girlfriend but like…I probably would have come over to offer you guys water even if we weren’t dating I mean…it’s the nice thing to do? Right?” she shrugged and smiled to the two of them – of course her face was starting to turn a bit pink with embarrassment but it was the truth.
She would have given them water either way…besides, before everything Kirk had been her friend…he was still her friend, it was just…now they went on dates…and kissed (in public sometimes!) that…well, had changed since they had begun dating…well, that was months ago but still he was important to her even before they had dated. "You guys were brilliant...i mean, it" and yes, yes she was repeating herself but that was just what she did when she was very nervous.

From what Kirk could see of this match on screen it was all down to who could tame that beast of a Runespoor first. Very cool. Was the match near over yet? It was really all down to getting rid of that as he started back up again. "That is interesting Dana, that charm right there folks is meant to make creatures more trusting of the caster. Uh-oh, looks pretty difficult since it's still coming after Kyle Baker! Ohh now he's making use of a rune and a freezing charm at it, we'll see how that goes.." Next was, "Ah Brent Westwood and are also making use of the runes against it.. It's getting CLOSER to him and Levi Kenning! Meanwhile Valerie Grey's use on the runes didn't seem to pan out but she has another trick up her sleeves with that Orbis Jinx, a nice hit! It looks to be one more shot needed at them..Whoa!" The screen said it all.

So it was over. The charm could be removed from his voice now as the screen portrayed the remainder, "That was a sweet gig. You're pretty good at this." He said to Dana. Aw, he couldn't resist giving Mel a little extra side-hug squeeze from her sweetness. "Thanks Mel, I don't think I could've gone through half of this without them." Even when magnifying his volume it was a bit exhausting with the rapid speech.
Anyways, so it looked like Mel was reaching out to Dana as well. He had a small smile before his blue eyes fell onto the guy right next to Dana. Hmm.. were they in the same boat as him and Mely? The hands seem to say yes. So with that Kirk gave the guy a 'sup' nod. Yeah, he had to be cool as well.

Depth perception was important to motor functions, and his were decidedly warped at the moment. Eventually, however, the piece of caramel found it's way into his mouth. There was a moment of simple enjoyment as he sucked on the candy and glanced around at the rest of the viewing area. Colors were especially bright today, weren't they? Perhaps that's what drew his attention back to Irene Avery. Her cheeks were a vivid shade of red, and he smirked in her direction, the audacity tiptoeing the line between gentlemanly and appalling. No harm meant, of course. She was simply a cute girl, who was blushing in an adorable way. And Lachlan approved of it.
"Valerie won't like that." His attention was pulled back to Jesús, as he laced his fingers together, resting them on top of his stomach. "I predict she'll want a more private setting. Kyle, too." These tasks took their toll. The First one had on him during and immediately after, and the following two hadn't been any kinder to those still in the game. "We'll see what they want to do." He nodded, eyes flicking up towards the one screen that was suddenly filled with the image of the girl they'd just been speaking of. Even chemically altered, Lach found himself...nervous. For her and Kyle. They both had this sorted, there was little doubt in his mind, and would do what was necessary, but at what cost? She'd not come out of the last one quite the same. What would this one take?
Shifting his attention between the different screens, the Wampus found himself laughing as each of those competing progressed. Laughing hilariously, to be frank. Runes. Why couldn't this task have been first? Runes were his strongest subject. Not that he envied anyone currently participating. Newly interested, Lachlan found himself sitting up a bit straighter. "Come on, Val."....Her frustration was evident, but he knew she wouldn't give up. Valerie Gray was every bit a warrior. And Kyle...was artfully layering charms on himself and the surrounding area. Lach clenched his hand into a fist, gnawing at his thumb nail.....What?
He jumped, thanks to Dana's screechy commentating and actually seeing a physical three-headed snake appearing on the different screens. "Oh, look. It's my patronus!" It was said in an excited sort of whisper, but then he froze; his pupils dilating further. No, a living, breathing runespoor was not great...His leg jumping from the stress of the moment, Lach nervously looked to Jesús. In theory, runespoors were the embodiment of the writer, but this was not a theoretical classroom discussion and that creature was huge. His paranoia was accelerated and could not be alleviated....but within the span of a several heart-stopping moments, both his schoolmates had somehow found themselves on the other side of the large beast; standing before government officials. And since his plan had backfired spectacularly, Lachlan was a few degrees below a nervous wreck.....
...."Jesús.......Valerie." The gentle Mississippi boy was already out of his seat, though, racing down towards his housemate, whom he reached within a matter of moments. He didn't quite grab her in time, but...he was there, crumbling to the ground in order to cushion her fall. "Talk to me."
Dana occasionally squeezed Sam's hand whenever the competitor's runespoors made a move, or when one of them decided to lunge towards them. Gosh, did they really make these challenges scary? Well, the first few really weren't that terrible, but the challenge prior to this one was emotionally draining... and now, this. It scared Dana how the organizers of this event thought it would be okay to let a runespoor wild on students. "I'm sorry...." She'd let his hand go if he was disturbed by her hand squeezes. And... oh? Dana smiled at him. "No, that's okay. I understand," she said, nodding as well. "But I like that. Food after this challenge, it is." It's a date? Maybe? Sort of. The blonde liked the idea of simply being with him, so she didn't really mind.
The girl's kind gesture was not going to pass too quickly for this blonde, and Dana smiled at her. She was nice, and it made a good impression on the sixth year. "The offer is greatly appreciated," Dana said. "I'll... uh... get into it in a while." She had some commentating duties to finish up. When Kirk finished off his part, Dana placed the Sonorus charm again on herself and her blue eyes looked back up at the screen. "Things are getting even messier for our competitors since most of their first spells didn't work as planned. Kyle Baker's Animal Fidelis only hit his runespoor's middle head, but the two others are still hissing viciously at him. But... oh, that grass cage worked! Well done!" Yaaaay! At least one of her school mates wouldn't be turning into the runespoor's meal. "Brent Westwood quickly uses Incarcifors on the grass around his runespoor, which worked for him as well." Subdue in nature. Very witty, event organizers, very witty. "Same goes for Levi Kenning, who seems to have used the Take Root spell to trap his beast." Dana was internally glad that they all looked like they were coming out of this successfully. After all, it was the last challenge, and the blonde was secretly glad she didn't have to watch any other student go through this type of stuff. "Valerie Gray has also subdued her creature with the Caught spell. Interesting how all of our competitors used different methods to finish up this task." It didn't matter, though. The only good thing about all this was that they were DONE. DONE WITH THIS CHALLENGE.
And did Lachlan just mention that his patronus was a Runespoor? Cool. Dana still didn't know what animal form her patronus would be, but she smiled at him anyway. "Maybe your patronus isn't as terrifying as those runespoors down there." Oh... she had forgotten that she still had her Sonorus charm on. The blonde turned a little pink before looking back at the screen. Also... was it just Dana, or did Lachlan and Sam look alike in a way? Weeeeird.
Then all four finalists began popping back at the stands, and Dana sighed in relief at the sight of this. Her commentating duty was done now, right? "Looks like all our competitors are back, so well done to all four of you. The results will be in soon, so I say let's all sit back and wait for them." No leaving yet! The winner will soon be revealed. Congrats to him/her! "That's it for our final challenge, intense as expected. The concessions are still available for those who want to grab a snack while waiting for the results... but nevertheless, congratulations to the competitors! Thank you for sticking around! This is Dana Maxwell, one of your commentators for today, now signing off." Dana sent a Finite charm to turn her Sonorus charm off, and gave Kirk a nod if ever he wanted to sign off from commentating duties, too. "Nice work, fellow commentator. You did good as well." He received a smile because they both deserved it.
And they also both deserved a drink, too. Dana took another gulp from her cup, and then looked at the girl beside Kirk. "Thank you," the blonde beamed at her. Yeah, she could say she did well for her first (and last) time. Public speaking was never her thing, so this was all new to Dana. But still, the adrenaline was running in her veins. "Nice to meet you, Melbourne. I'm Dana... but I guess you figured that out?" A sheepish grin formed on her lips. She had said her name out loud to the general public twice.
Oh... and, well, Dana didn't forget that Sam was still beside her. She still had her hand on his, perhaps the entire time she had commentated. "Th-this is Sam," the sixth year introduced him to the two others. He had been a little quiet the entire time, but she didn't want to push him far more than what his introversion could handle. Dana left the title part off purposely. What were they, anyway? Whatever their relationship was, Dana didn't know but one thing was for sure: she really liked him. Nevertheless, she smiled at both Hogwartians and at Sam, who got a gentle and encouraging squeeze from Dana. She quite liked him being here, so there's that.
Dana's attention was immediately caught by Valerie Gray... who FAINTED. The blonde gasped, but wasn't surprised. She would have fainted after facing a runespoor, too. Or if she would ever face one, to point out. Just the sight of it slithering near her would have caused her to fall to the ground in a blink of an eye. Dana wouldn't have been able to handle all that, honestly. However, she was glad that the Hogwarts healer had it covered... but she couldn't help but bite her lower lip. "Is... is she going to be okay?" Please.
