Sooooo, she might have mistimed her run slightly. But she need nor worry, as Raiden caught her in a tight hug.

She clinged to him, feet dangling beneath her where his extra height had lifted her off the floor. She returned his grin, her eyes wide and twinkling with nerves and anticipation and excitement all at once. This was an awesome hug. She liked it. A lot.

His grip loosened, and Nia took the opportunity to breathe. Her feet were now on tippy toes, not quite enough to support her own weight properly. "Not as bad?" Nia looked at him. She'd have been pretty scared of a cockatrice. Though that did make sense with the rooster and mirror from the first task. "Weasel?" she asked with a chuckle. "You happened across a weasel?" Sure, she knew enough about the cockatrice to know that weasels were meant to be immune to the cockatrice's gaze...but still...did one usually see a weasel when wandering round? And as for it then being useful...

"So-so." Nia replied, almost half-heartedly. More worried and nervous. It was the last (and probably hardest) task, afterall. "I came prepared with my charms textbook," she said with a smile. "Been starting my revision for..." She looked slightly sheepish at the fact she'd been doing school work. But of course he'd know. She was a 'Claw. "ready for NEWTs," she admitted.
