Violet was having little success in getting Ivy out of the mud when it began to rain. Oh great. Violet had pretty much given up and was debating whether to give up and head off on her own before she got caught when the water suddenly turned to ice. Looking over at Ivy, Violet realized there was no rescuing the other girl now, but she had barely turned to find a hiding place when she heard Professor Schmoe end the class. She turned back, thinking to help Ivy out of the mud now that it was just ordinary mud, but she saw that Ivy had already clambered out on her own and headed for the exit. Well, guess that was that, then.

Wet, angry, and covered with mud, Violet stomped (as well as one can stomp in mud) over to retrieve her things. She didn't see the point of the exercise at all, unless it was to make a fool of all the unfortunates on the Muggle team. But then she realized that, although the Wizard team had cast a lot of spells and caused the others a lot of grief, they didn't seem to have actually captured many, if any, of them. And that was the point of the exercise, right? Get caught up in the details and lose sight of the big picture, that was how you failed. So maybe that was the point of the exercise. She hoped the Neo-Alliance would get so caught up in flexing their magic and showing off that they would lose sight of the victory as well.

Picking up her things and retrieving her precious wand, she dawdled on her way over to the line of students going to the Room and used the extra time to cast a quick "Scourgify" and a drying spell on herself. She had no desire to sit for several hours in a cold, dark, damp room with sopping wet shoes and mud all over her hair. Though she wished she had saved a bit of mud to maybe shake off accidentally on one of her escorts. Oh well, probably not a very good idea anyway.
