Nebula’s words jolted him out of his thoughts, most of which were about strategy. “You should definitely choose the prettiest marble of the bunch. Like I’d tell your dad, the prettiest marble for the prettiest girl.” And then enjoy watching Mr. Curious’ eyes flash and Grandma Sterope looking like she wanted to hex him into oblivion. But he did mean it when he told Neb she deserved the nice looking marbles. “Ignore you? Please, who can ignore you with your loud mouth?” Laughing, he nudged her with his shoulder. She’d know he was teasing her. “Yup, thanks.’’ Harv did a little hair flip. “You too, maybe more than me.” No one should ever underestimate Nebula Curious. Now he took the time to look around at the hopefuls. There was a lot more now that there had been when he initially showed up at the arena. He flashed them all a chill smile.

And now that he had taken that shot…

Harv was truly unsurprised that he had hit seven. He eyed the three unlucky ones, attempting to brainstorm how he would have possibly hit them all with another shot. True, he’d have to join the line again but still…. maybe the next time he’d have better luck.

Anyway, at least for now while he waited, he’d get to watch the others - particularly Neb and Saina. He knew both girls were keen on moving up from being reserves.

Then, before he knew it, it was his turn again. After selecting another marble, he stepped up to the starting point. Eyes on the prize, the Ravenclaw took another well-aimed go.

Sai had given nervous smiles to the others had joined the group. Yes, she knew they could tell her feelings, just as she recognised the nervousness in some. With the exception of Harvey - who seemed so laidback and confident - and Nebula, whose chattering made her smile.

“Fingers crossed for the both of us,’’ Sai replied to Nebula. In the process she held up a hand, middle and index fingers interlocked. “You ought to teach me your secret about how to not be so nervous.” Because Sai felt like she would pass out right there and then.

For her first attempt, Saina was quite displeased with the pace at which the marble rolled down the line. And even more displeased when she discovered it only hit four of the ten targets. Rude. The second year definitely needed a do over. But first… how did Nebula do? If she was going to have another try, Sai was sticking close to her. And Harvey.
