Regina chuckled at the mention of the history of the place. "Oh, yes, I think she might be more excited than any of the kids." This was exactly the sort of thing her mother loved.

Regina turned her eyes toward the hill Ruby was talking about. "Probably well-founded concern," she agreed with a chuckle. That hill did look like it could pose some trouble. But hopefully people would be careful enough not to trip over themselves or each other.

She, too, would have no ability to play if this game were about physical prowess or strength, so it was lucky that the organizers had chosen magical ways to participate. Otherwise, she would have been remaining on the sidelines to watch the much stronger people attempt it. Which, to be fair, might have also been interesting and impressive to watch. "Do you want to go first?" Since it seemed their turn was quickly coming up. She pulled out her wand as well, so that she was ready whenever her chance came.


Her mum felt much the same way as Aunt Vashti did. Trixie was an only child, she of course had her husband’s sister who had 6 children - Ruby’s cousins, but she herself had longed for a sibling of her own throughout her childhood and so Vashti and her offspring had filled that gap. “I wish we were able to see each other more. It’s rather unfortunate that adulthood presents the need to work and therefore reduces our free time to socialise.” It made those occasions where both families were able to come together even more special however. “You must meet Tabitha’s babies!” She was hoping that both her sisters would make an appearance at some point but it didn’t seem likely. The twins wouldn’t be seen dead at such an event unless their mother had somehow appealed to their better nature. “Did she dress up? I imagine she took the theme even more seriously than me.” she laughed.

A decision that she was really starting to regret. The dress might have been beautiful but it was restricting, the sleeves were a hindrance and it was a little over-the-top for the usually quite mundane woman. She wasn’t fond of standing out from the crowd.

“I’m only a little concerned I’m going to embarrass myself” she chuckled, stepping forward to the line and withdrawing her wand from its holster. “Wingardium Leviosa” she swished and flicked before the caber began to levitate before her. “Depulso!” The caber flew through the air and settled a decent distance across the field.
