Professors versus students?

Celeste found herself chuckling at the thought brought up by the Gryffindor seventh year. Though not because she felt as her colleague did, that the student body didn’t stand a chance. The right motivator could help make up for the inexperience of the younger crowd. Like whatever prize Marilyn was asking their host about. She got a nod from Ms. Thanatos and a smile from Ms. Durrand who also inquired if she would be participating.

Hmm decisions….decisions..

She waved back at Ms. Anders and her quiet greeting. “Hello Mr. Anders,” she said, returning the greeting of the elder sibling. “Oh very right,” she agreed with her fellow professor. Watching the fun was bound to be just as amusing. Which was the option Javier seemed to be taking from the get-go as he arrived into the midst of things.

“How about this….I give ye all a head start?” she mused to the assembled who asked if she was playing along. No yes….no outright no. And no one accusing her of cheating right off the bat. The older woman moving off to the side as directed.

Raj raised an eyebrow as Mouse came along, commenting on his hesitance to join in on the fun of the situation. “Oh really…” he mused returning smile for smile…maybe a touch of a smirk. “Care to work together?” he found himself asking his fellow Ravenclaw. Two were always better than one so he opted for that option rather than competing against each other. There was already one professor/student team getting ready, Jude and Keighly pairing off and and Professor Sayre seemed gon-ho to be on her own and beat her students.

And then Professor Carlton was starting them off and the seventh year looked to his would-be partner to see what was what. His mind already thinking back to the class in question to remember the spells they would be using.
