Emmeline had literally just gotten attacked, and the Ravenclaw girl looked a lot older than Maddie. Leave it to her to be worried about her opponents. Taking in an unsure breath, Maddie raised her arm and launched a balloon right to Sam.
The balloon towards Eddie had barely left her hand when she spied one coming in her own direction. She ducked to the side, it just missing her shoulder before hitting the ground behind her. That was close! So much for keeping moving to avoid becoming a target.
She hadn't spotted who the balloon had been thrown by, but wasted no time in picking it up from where it lay unburst on the floor and looking for her own next target.
Ronan seemed like a good target, yup.
Keeping her eye on the other nearby black armbands, Sam edged her way round to get a better angle on the Gryffindor. Biding her time, biiiiiiding her time...and then, just as a gap in the crowd cleared between them, she threw the balloon and ducked away to the side.
