Students, staff, alumni, and curious bypassers....all are welcome to join in the fun and have a seat here in the spacious grandstand. You can see all three contest arenas from here: Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, and even Hogwarts. Never mind that all are tiny and far away and the contestants look like shrimps! They're doing great!

You're more than welcome to clap, cheer, hold up signs, and do the wave, but don't be surprised if the contestants can't see or hear you. They are FOCUSED. And they're also enclosed in their own little areas, but it's the thought that counts!

SPOILER!!: Ella, Mischa, Wade, Kat, BUNZ

Minerva glanced at the Ella with a small smile in return. “Yeah, I think we will do well. The first round was great and I look for our teams for each task to do the same this round.” Well she hoped they did at least. She was pretty confident in Wade and her’s team if nothing else. Thought her nerves were starting to make her second guess everything. Glancing back at the arena she couldn’t help but wide eyes at it, was that a snake? No she wasn’t seeing clearly being so far up that had to be. Her focus went back to Ella on her question. “I’m doing pretty good actually, just really really nervous about doing my task later.” Pressure feeling to be on with being the last to go. Talk about all eyes on you.

Blue eyes felt the look and she raised them enough to make eye contact with the Durmstrang boy. Mischa was looking at her and she looked right back. Merlin she couldn’t wait until he was gone, there was just something about him that rubbed her the wrong way. She didn’t break her eye contact for a few moments, no she wasn’t about to let it seems she was uneasy about him around. Seeing his smirk she rolled her eyes and turned her focus back to the arena, but she would glance again he should know that by now.

As she did turn back to the arena and tried to tune out a certain screaming Alexa Min jumped at a voice, “Kitty.. I was wondering when you would show up.” She glanced around, was his dad here. She hadn’t forgotten there talk. Why was she glancing she really didn’t know what the man looked like. That’s when she saw her.. What on earth was Ethan’s aunt doing here. Her stomach did more flips then it had done in the last four weeks. Great now she was even more nervous seeing her at the event. Turning back to Wade and glancing at Kat when she asked about the chocolates, “Yeah he did. She was trying to get me to eat them, saying he told her to pass them out to people or something. “ She fidgeted nervously knowing Ethan already knew this information, but not really wanting to say it again. “Gaston wanted me to show him around at the library. While we were there he tried to hit on me, when I told him I had a very serious relationship. He still asked about kissing me. It was creepy and strange.” She shook her head, “Then when Alexa started acting well.. like this and said the chocolate was from him and that he wanted me to have some. I know there is something in them.. There has to be.” She glanced at the two heads.. Was she nuts or was this something that was really happening?

Just then Kat said hello to the very person she asked about talking too. Min spun in her seat. PERFECT.. well maybe. She had tried once before to talk to the woman about a concern and it got her detention, should she even try again. This time she had others backing her and she had spoken concerns to Professor Romanos. “Hello Headmistress.” She greeted with a small smile, “Umm Headmistress, I’m not sure if you are noticing one of our students, one of our very dedicated to her school, hyper, but never one to cheer for another team students is acting a bit, love crazy over a Beauxbaton’s student.” She glanced at Lex again, yes crazy child wasn’t just sugar happy today. No she was love poisoned happy. “We are a bit concerned by her actions.” Basically could you possibly shush her from cheering for another school and maybe send her to Lafay to stop acting so nuts. She glanced at Wade and Kat, maybe they would want to fill her in more. Min was wanting to say everything, but really wasn’t sure if she would be believed or told she was crazy. If the head boy and girl saw it though.. Maybe Truebridge would pay attention more to them.

Adelaide gave little nods as the group of people around her grew. A lot of them she recognized from classes and such, but not many she had talked to, aside from Kat, who's wave she returned before glancing back down at the arena.

...and then there was Cat, with a C. Gosh. That had to get confusing for the two of them. There really wasn't much difference in there name. Anyways. She giggled and returned the little finger wave.

...and then Cassia was there too. "Hey Cassia." Because she'd said hi. So it was right to do so. Adelaide threw her attention back to what was going on...until she heard someone screaming really, really loudly for one of the French boys.

Adelaide was shocked to see it was a gryffindor girl (Lex) who's name she just couldn't place. Okay. That was a little over the top. Sure, Addi had promised Beau she'd keep an eye out for him and cheer him on, but she wasn't going to that extreme. She gave the girl a slight stare. Obviously everyone else was a little freaked out by this too.

BanaBatGirl · 11-13-2013, 06:13 PM

Clap clap clap clap! "GO HOGWARTS! WOOOO!" the Headmistress shouted out arbitrarily, not being able to see what was actually going on within the trains anymore. She was sure that Hogwarts was winning though. Just sure of it.

The one thing she WASN'T sure of was why Alexa Cambridge was cheering Beauxbatons on? And why so LOUUUUUUUUUUUDLY, Merlin's beard! The redhead shot a glare to the Headmistress of the French school. Clearly it was her fault Alexa was cheering on the wrong school. CLEARLY. There was no one else to blame in the near vicinity, so...

She was probably here to support the other Hogwarts representatives and celebrate their victory once the judges announce that they've won, of course! There was no doubt.

Kat still couldn't see what was happening. So much for the purpose of the audience and the supporters, right?

"Oh, hellllllllo, Head Girl Hudson." That had a nice ring to it, didn't it? Heh. "How are you this fine morning?" It was warming up nicely, wasn't it? The other rounds should be GLORIOUS, from both a weather and a winning standpoint.

The Headmistress went back to clapping and making, "woo!" sounds until her attention was again diverted to a student... a Ms. Wheatborn, to be precise. Hmm. She flicked her eyes over to the girl.

"Are you talking about Alexa?" she leaned in to ask. "I am ALSO concerned by her actions. Frankly, they're quite TRAITOROUS!" She said that with a smile, though. It was a free country and Alexa could, technically, cheer on whoever she wanted... how sweet of Min to be worried though, quite sweet of her.

SPOILER!!: Alexa

Claudette was simply on the edge of her seat, beaming down at perfection personified, otherwise known as Gaston. She couldn't see all that clearly, the arena being kind of far away from their seats, but she was certain that her ideal man was blowing the competition away. And why wouldn't he? He was amazing.

The blonde had gotten the urge to stand up and cheer loudly for him again when a very loud voice assaulted her ears, causing her to whip her head around in that direction. What? This girl was cheering for Gaston? HER Gaston? Oh no, that would not do.. this girl was even louder, what if that beautiful boy couldn't hear Claudette's cheers, being drowned out by another girl's? Then he would not think she loved him as much as she truly did.

Claudette slid over to sit next to Alexa, giving her a knowing smile. "I see you are cheering for my true love." Her eyes darted to the other girl's sign. Drat! Why hadn't she thought of that? Quickly and discreetly, she pulled out her wand, pointing it at the sign. "Geminio." Picking up her duplicated sign, she waved her wand at it, charming some flashing hearts to appear around the words. There. Much better. "Now we can be his cheering section," she added innocently. Though someone as perfect and amazing as Gaston needed more than just two.. where were the rest?

Leaping to her feet, she set the sign down on the seat next to her and got ready to cheer. Loudly.

"G-A-S (clap, clap, clap) T-O-N (clap, clap, clap)
Gaston's the best (clap, clap, clap)
He'll beat the rest! (clap, clap, clap)"

She then took her seat and grabbed her sign, waving it around wildly as she cheered on the Beauxbatons boy. "Gooo Gastoooon! WOOOOOO!!!" Dreamy sigh. She just knew he would hear her and know her devotion. Beat that Gryffindor girl. Bar raised.

SPOILER!!: Victoria, Minerva, Charely, Wade

She worried though as she glanced at the others. Her eyes stopping at Gaston and her thoughts moving to the library and Alexa trying to get her to eat candy. Something was strange and she was worried about it, very worried. Her blue eyes glanced as she saw someone else join them. “Hey Ella. How are you today? “ She gave the captain a small smile still feeling awkward around her. “Hope we do well today.” She figured they would, she just was more concerned with her own performance at the moment. Giving Kat a smile as she said her name she turned, “I don’t know Mo’s partner well. I know her name and that’s about it. Do you know anything about her?” She figured the girl was good or they wouldn’t have picked her to be part of the competition, but it would be nice to know more about her.

Glancing around to see if a certain former claw had showed up yet Minerva’s eyes landed on another boy. One she would have rather not see. Mischa even the name sounded negative in her head. He was certainly one reason she was ready for this competition to be over. Getting him out of her school would be a great relief, she knew he was behind so many of the pranks, but now after the library she wasn’t sure he was the only one with an agenda for Hogwart students. What were these boys playing at, couldn’t they just leave well enough alone and compete fairly. It really made no sense.

Her blue eyes lifted as she heard someone cheering. Looking down in front she was shocked to see Claudette. Well why wouldn’t the Ravenclaw come over and sit with her. Hmmm that was strange, but what was stranger was the name she was cheering for. If it was any other Beauxbaton name Min would have just figured she knew them since that was truly her school, but since it was Gaston’s name a knot went in her stomach. Should she go over to check it out. See if she was acting way to in love with that creep? Just as she was about to tell the others she would be back and get up she felt a kiss on her cheek and she jumped.

So deep in thought she hadn’t even heard his greeting. Looking up as he sat down she gave a sorry smile, “Sorry.. I was thinking and didn’t know you were there.” Her eyes went back to Claudette, now even more worried, because if she was under whatever potion was in the sweets Alexa had Ethan was going to flip. “I.. I’m.. “ She turned to fully face him and leaned in. “Ethan I think Claudette has had those sweets. The ones I told you Alexa had.. I’m not sure, she could just be cheering for her school, but since she said Gaston.. “ Her eyes went back towards his cousin, “Maybe I’m just over thinking and being too paranoid.” She rested her hands in her lap as she heard another voice.

Eyes looking up in horror as she heard Alexa screaming about Gaston. Turning back to Ethan she shook her head, “See what I mean? Something isn’t right.” Alexa would never be going against Hogwarts. She felt she needed to go say something, but at the same time she wasn’t sure how to go about it. There had to be a professor seeing this right? She looked back to Kat, “Kat what should we do? Something is clearly going on.. She kept going on about these sweets and how Gaston gave them to her. I really think something was in them.” Maybe Kat could go talk some sense into the girl or have further thoughts on what they should do.

Victoria was watching this task, it was so interesting from what she could see. How exciting was this really. What a fun day out. She was glad she had come even if she was still a bit out of breath. Maybe Charely would grab some refreshments before he headed up. That would be great, but if not the blonde would deal until she went back down those steps, even though she would not be going anytime soon. Hearing her name she glanced up and smiled. “Mariel.. Hello” She motioned for the brunette to sit down next to her. She thought for a moment, did it not come up when they were talking at the coffee cart, hmmm had they even seen each other lately. She had been so busy with all that had been going on at home and keeping up with work she was afraid she had neglected her friend. “I’m sorry I guess I didn’t really know I was until last minute, but Wade is in the last task, so we had to come cheer him on.”

Victoria’s eyes followed Mariel as she glanced towards the twins. “I’m becoming a house, aren’t I?” At least she felt that way. “I’m doing well though. Everyone is healthy. Maybe if they start getting excited over all the noise you can feel your god daughter’s move.” She chuckled knowing how active they had been recently. “So what brings you here? Is your niece competing for Hogwarts?” She knew her niece had come for a term from what school was it again, she wasn’t sure she remembered.

Merlin, did he not expect to lose track of his love. Charely though glad she was safe, was certainly hoping she had not made the trip up the grandstands all by herself. Especially in her condition, left him quite worried but relived now at the sight of her. Smiling softly at Vic before sitting down beside to kiss her cheek. "There you are, dear. Sorry I took so long, the refreshment and food stand was long." Oh, and she wasn't alone. "Hello Mariel, it's good to see you again." It was good thing he bought plenty of snacks. "Care for anything? I got us some biscuits, sweets and a little bit of everything else they had."

---

Nervous? Eh, it wasn't a term that usually sat well with Wade. He didn't get the jitters until right before a match and expected it to be the same as this. The least he could do was be excited. His friends were here and later on his dad and Vicky too. Sitting close to where Min, Kat, Ethan, Ella, and Nigel where. "Hey you guys.. Exciting isn't it?" Plus, his school needed some good old house spirit.

Just like Lex except you know.. where Hogwarts students cheered for their own side. Though she seemed to have a new love other than chocolate frogs. His brows furrowed at her. "..Lex? I didn't know you were dating Gaston." Wade only met the guy once, and he seemed nice. Hm. Interesting turn of events here.

If the head boy and girl saw it though.. Maybe Truebridge would pay attention more to them.

Mariel glanced down at the three separate competition areas as she slid into the seat next to Victoria, then glanced back at her with a smile as she seemed just as surprised to see her. "Oh, is he?" she replied about Vic's basically step-son. "How nice for you to come and give him some support. Which subject will he be competing in?" She glanced down at Hogwarts arena, but couldn't tell if he was already there or if he would be in an event later in the day. She had never met the boy though she figured she probably wouldn't be able to recognize anyone from that far away anyway. Oh.. but she said last task, so they had some time. Hopefully things would get interesting or entertaining or else they'd be in for a long day. At least she had some company.. and figured Charely would be along soon as well.

She emitted a soft chuckle at Vic's words. "I wouldn't call you a house, no.. but you do have a cute baby bump." With twins, she was past the possibly just fat into the looking pregnant stage, at least as far as Mariel was concerned and it was just endearing in a better you than me kind of way. "Well, that's great that everything is going well.. oh. I might be able to feel a kick?" Well, that might be interesting. She glanced around at some of the other spectators who were extra loud. Her eyes falling on Claudette again as her cheering grew even louder. "Um, no.." she began giving her niece an odd look before turning back at Victoria. "My nephew's girlfriend is competing actually. Real nice girl, thought I'd come for support.. and I knew he'd be coming too so I thought I'd take the three of them out for lunch or dinner while we were here. My niece is that one, cheering very loudly," she said, pointing her out. "I've never seen her make quite a spectacle of herself.." she added slowly, her eyes still fixated on the girl. Maybe a boy she was smitten with?

She had already caught sight of Claudette, she wondered if the other two she had come to see were already here as well. As she glanced around again, she caught sight of Ethan sitting next to Minerva and made eye contact with the girl. She waved and mouthed the words 'good luck,' before turning back to Vic again. She'd go say hello in a few minutes. Oh, and there was a Charely sitting on the other side of her friend now. "Hey there," she greeted her other coworker with a small smile, her eyes falling on the refreshments he had acquired at his offer. "Oh.. no, thanks, I'm good." Too early in the day, really.. though maybe tea or coffee might be good.. once she felt like getting up.

Ethan returned Minerva's smile, soon faltering as he listened to her words. He had been very concerned over a few things she had told him about, but his worries had lain with her and not so much his cousin. His eyes darted around the grandstands until they fell on Claudette, just as she stood, screaming for that Gaston guy. What on earth.. he stared at her for a moment, then his eyes snapped back in horror to his girlfriend's face. "If he really did have sweets laced with a love potion.. that has to be what that is.. I've never known her to make such a fuss over any guy." Where was that bloke anyway? First targeting his girlfriend, then poisoning his cousin.. he was going to hex that guy into next week. He started to stand and look around, but soon realized that he was competing right now. Fine.. he'd find him after the event. "My wand and I will be waiting for him.. he's not going to get away with going after you or Claudette," he informed Minerva, his jaw set.

And Claudette clearly wasn't the only one. Alexa Cambridge was acting just the way Min had told him, clearly out of the ordinary and nothing like he would have expected from the girl. Yep, he would say love potion if he had to guess. He heard another voice join them and he turned his head. "Oh, hey Wade," he said with a smile, though he was slightly distracted by the current situation. "Yeah, it would be.. if one of the competitors wasn't trying to seduce and poison girls," he said with a frown. Two of those girls being people he cared immensely about.. but he would deal with that soon enough. "Good luck with your task.. I'm sure you'll do great," he said, offering another smile. He would cheer him on too.

While Min filled Wade in on the details, Ethan looked back down at his cousin. Wow.. she was acting really off and he was sort of embarrassed for her. And he figured she would be once the potion wore off. "Claudette.." he called down to her. "Claudette.. come sit with us.." Then maybe they could do something for her..

DaniDiNardo · 11-14-2013, 01:30 AM

There were people around her, saying things about her, things she wasn't really paying attention to BECAUSE GASTON WAS BEING PUUUURFECT DOWN THERE HELLO!!!!

Alexa ignored Cassia and continued waving her placard around until this other girl came. Hold UP!!!

"Your true love?? You mean MINE!!!" Alexa Christina Cambridge did NOT share. NO GUUURL, getch'yo OWWWN FRENCH BOY!!! She watched, her mouth hung open as the girl duplicated her placard, HER placard and made it all flashy. No! No no no no holy Merlin, St Kneazle Circe NOOOO!! Alexa whipped out her wand immediately. "INCENDIO!!!" Bye bye placard. Only room for the original here.

"Now BACK OFF GIRLY, You're gonna distract my boy candy! Mooooove!" If she could she would shove her but she was kinda BUSY CHEERING, Ahem. "GO GASTON!!! GO GO GO!!! Beat those Hogwartians and Durmstrangers!! WOO!!" Was this girl still standing here???

As for Wade, she grinned wide. "We aaaaarrreeeee, he's so perfect and amazing and we're gonna be happy together forever. It's all gonna work out, you'll see." BEAM.

Oh, right. Alexa was still flailing over Gaston. Kat sighed. "I didn't know either, but I guess it exists now." Not that she wasn't a fan of a French boy. Cle was French, but she knew that Caleb didn't mean it that way.

"Would it be wrong to accuse Gaston of the Imperius Curse?" Caleb asked with a small smirk. He was MOSTLY kidding. But he wouldn't put it past him after all the hijinks he had pulled on them in classes. He glanced back at the Gryffindor girl again. Eh, she LOOKED ok. But what had suddenly gotten to her to change her stance on him?

"Oh hey! That's Mo! I know him," he added, turning back to the tournament going on in front of them. He was starting to become familiar with everyone in the school, even the OLDER kids. Gah. He was so cool.

Too early in the day, really.. though maybe tea or coffee might be good.. once she felt like getting up.

Victoria smiled at the kiss and looked at Charely, “It’s fine.. I was just trying to watch this first task the best I could when Mariel showed up.” She smiled at her close friend. Hearing what he had brought she turned looking at the food, “Oh I’ll have a biscuit please. That sounds really good.” She wasn’t sure why it just did, so that’s what she as going for. “Mariel is here to watch her nephews girlfriend, what was her name again Mariel. Maybe Charely knows her because of Wade.” Wade had talked about a few friends, which reminded her she wondered which one was the daughter of Charely’s friend. Hmmm. She glanced around spotting Wade she gave him a small wave wondering if he saw or not she wasn’t sure.

She tried to think for a moment, “Oh.. He’s competing in..” She looked to Charely why was her mind not thinking of it. “Charely what is his subject again?” She really should know this. That was embarrassing. She looked at her belly a bump she felt bigger than just a bump, “Well thank you. I guess I’m just feeling bigger than I really am.” Vic smiled putting a hand on her belly again, “I’ve certainly been progressing quicker than I did with Bart, from what I remember, but I guess with two it’s bound to happen.” She nodded, “They are being quiet now, but yes if they start waking up you probably can.” They were pretty easy to find when they wanted to be. Glancing to where Mariel was looking she noticed the blonde being very loud, “I thought you said she was going to Hogwarts, she seems to be cheering for a boy from another school.” Not that it was a horrible thing, just struck her as odd. Oh but the girl came from that school didn’t she. That might explain why she is cheering for him.

SPOILER!!: Headmistress

Minerva glanced back at Alexa just as Claudette started to become louder as well. “Yes I am talking about Alexa.” Good the headmistress was worried as well. “I’m very concerned actually. I know there has been things going on in classes and I thought it was just one Durmstrang boy that I had caught in Defense Against the Dark Arts, but this Gaston that they are cheering for. I think he’s done something to the sweets Alexa was eating from him and she was passing them out. She had tried to get me to eat some saying he had wanted me too, but I didn’t.” Thank Merlin she hadn’t for many reasons. “Since then she has been acting like that and well Alexa doesn’t share sweets and she’s always been against falling in love.” Do you see why Min was so worried, “Claudette that is right there cheering for him as well, she doesn’t do this kind of thing either.” Something was really going on, Can I silence them or something, they really are kind of embarrassing themselves. “ As well as embarrassing their school by cheering for that creepy boy.

SPOILER!!: Ethan

She had already caught sight of Claudette, she wondered if the other two she had come to see were already here as well. As she glanced around again, she caught sight of Ethan sitting next to Minerva and made eye contact with the girl. She waved and mouthed the words 'good luck,' before turning back to Vic again. She'd go say hello in a few minutes. Oh, and there was a Charely sitting on the other side of her friend now. "Hey there," she greeted her other coworker with a small smile, her eyes falling on the refreshments he had acquired at his offer. "Oh.. no, thanks, I'm good." Too early in the day, really.. though maybe tea or coffee might be good.. once she felt like getting up.

Ethan returned Minerva's smile, soon faltering as he listened to her words. He had been very concerned over a few things she had told him about, but his worries had lain with her and not so much his cousin. His eyes darted around the grandstands until they fell on Claudette, just as she stood, screaming for that Gaston guy. What on earth.. he stared at her for a moment, then his eyes snapped back in horror to his girlfriend's face. "If he really did have sweets laced with a love potion.. that has to be what that is.. I've never known her to make such a fuss over any guy." Where was that bloke anyway? First targeting his girlfriend, then poisoning his cousin.. he was going to hex that guy into next week. He started to stand and look around, but soon realized that he was competing right now. Fine.. he'd find him after the event."My wand and I will be waiting for him.. he's not going to get away with going after you or Claudette," he informed Minerva, his jaw set.

And Claudette clearly wasn't the only one. Alexa Cambridge was acting just the way Min had told him, clearly out of the ordinary and nothing like he would have expected from the girl. Yep, he would say love potion if he had to guess. He heard another voice join them and he turned his head. "Oh, hey Wade," he said with a smile, though he was slightly distracted by the current situation. "Yeah, it would be.. if one of the competitors wasn't trying to seduce and poison girls," he said with a frown. Two of those girls being people he cared immensely about.. but he would deal with that soon enough. "Good luck with your task.. I'm sure you'll do great," he said, offering another smile. He would cheer him on too.

While Min filled Wade in on the details, Ethan looked back down at his cousin. Wow.. she was acting really off and he was sort of embarrassed for her. And he figured she would be once the potion wore off. "Claudette.." he called down to her. "Claudette.. come sit with us.." Then maybe they could do something for her..
__________________

Minerva’s eyes widened a bit as she noticed Mariel making eye contact. Giving her a nervous smile she waved and worded ‘Thank you’ and then she turned quickly and leaned into Ethan. “What is Mariel doing here? She is up a few rows.” Yes that made her horribly nervous, she loved Mariel and she just was freaking out a bit. She looked at Claudette again, hopefully the headmistress will step in with these two love crazed girls. “No he did something to those sweets. He had to have done something.” She didn’t feel people believed her, but she knew better. She had to be protective not to eat anything that was poisoned, she learned her lesson last term. Blue eyes frantically went to his face, “Ethan you aren’t going to do anything here.” Thought if the creep came near her she would be fine watching Ethan hex his face off. “Honey…” she put her arms around him, [/b] “Let’s just focus on getting Claudette to calm down and hopefully Gaston will be gone once this competition is over.”[/b] She was hopeful at least.

She listened as Ethan talked to Wade and smiled, “Of course he will do fine, I’m in there with him.” She grinned toward Wade, “Wade knows his stuff, I couldn’t have been given a better partner.” She had all the confidence in the world when it came to Wade doing well. Her own confidence for her own part of the task was beginning to be eaten by nerves. She watched as Ethan tried to get Claudette to come up and sit with them. “Claudette listen to Ethan, come over here. Please. Did you see your Aunt, she’s here. Why don’t you take a break from cheering and go see her.” Or at least stop embarrassing yourself in front of her and everyone else.

He might have been on the train by now but he support was still liked yes? Especially when it seemed no one else was cheering for him. How ruuuude. Couldn't they see how AMAZING he was?

"You can cheer for him too, if you want. I'll duplicate it but don't go trying to TAKE it, okay?" This was her and Gaston's little moment. The cheering while he led his school on to victory--

huh?

She now was NOT looking down on the arena, and really like she could see anything from here, ther concern was the girl who stole Lex's body and was now humiliating her in front of everyone from all schools. Alexa Cambridge was gonna be appalled when she found out.

Did this person just say love. "No, you do NOT love someone I do not approve of or even know!" What if this really was Lex and Cassia did NOT know that her bestfriend had something going on with the French boy. The slytherin was very offended that she wasn't trusted with such info........ Was not he a little bit old fir her though? What the heck was she talking about! Cassia dismissed those ideas and fixed her bestfriend the sternest look. ~~which was likely to be lost on her~~. "And did she just tell the headboy that she and the frenchie were dating??????!!!

...There was Claudette there too..Cassia stared at the Ravenclaw then at Lex and blinked. Really? Were they going to start a cat fight right now.

"Put this stupid sign down, Lex." Cassia pursed her lips. "You're not setting a good example for Venom." The snake may or ma y have not brought her. "And making a fool of yourself!" she hissed reaching out again and grabbing the placard to try and wrestle it out of the grip of the acting-weird teenager. Now didn't Alexa grow muscles since she'd become a beater. Cassia was gonna try and have a talk with Alice about it.

Also... "D'you think Alexa's okay?"

Did not Kat always ask the right questions! Cassia sighed and gave Lex a look before answering the older girl. "I'd like to say so but who would I be fooling." NO ONE! That would be the answer. Although she would have liked it if people were a little bit more stupid around here .For the lioness's sake and nothing else. Except for the people on the arena who were competing right this second. And speaking of.

"How are they doing down there?" she asked her older!Sister!snake pointing in the general direction of the arena. She of course was asking about the hogwartians. The one who m she was cheering for and so should the other hogwartians. Had they been in their right minds of course.

The big day had come and here it was time for round two. He was prepared. Been preparing for a long time and despite round one's results he was not discouraged and he was going to do everything he could.

Unfazed by anything, Sébastien found his headmistress and seated himself next to her. "Bonjoure, Madame," He greeted her nodding his head then peeking at the arena. Both his friends were doing just fine. He wished them luck as well as himself. He'd be going not long after.

He however, could not help not notice the scene the Hogwarts people were causing. Was Alexa cheering for his friend Gaston? Unintentionally the french boy smirked amused at that. Hogwarts might have won the first round but it was obvious that those kids were weird or unpredictable. Even if Sébastien might know about the cause of the two girls shouting his friend's name.

No time to get distracted. His brown eyes shifted from the scene to the field. Threading his fingers together, he supported his chin with his joined hands as he watched with sharp eyes.

O_O

There weren't many times when Lotus Acacia Wisteria grew silent. And one would not expect this to happen at a stand, where you were supposed to be cheering for people, right? Right.

Someone was cheering a bit too much, a bit too loudly, a bit too out of control. That someone was none other than her best friend. Correction, someone posing as her best friend, because that wasn't Lex. It wasn't. Lottie was one hundred percent extra positive that that person wasn't Lex.

And, like, she didn't even know what to say, so she just stared, and kept on staring. Bewildering sight.

It was also a once in a lifetime experience, so she was thankful to witness this, actually, but also worried about the Gryffindor girl cheering for Gaston. You know, Sébastien (was it?) was better looking than Gaston. Juuuuust sayiiiiing. Nothing to see here, except her best friend not being her usual self. Lottie wanted her back ASAP, by the way.

So, staring was happening. Nothing else. We're staring at you, Lex, because we don't know what else to do.

TakemetotheBurrow · 11-14-2013, 10:36 PM

Loud stands were loud. Normally Ella would have been cheering along but considering the loudest cheerer was rooting for someone not from Hogwarts, the blonde remained silent. And curious. And suspicious. And ALL kinds of other things because something was UP with Lex. She didn’t seem the type to lose her head over a pretty boy.

Attention back on Minnie, or mostly back on her cause yelling Gryffindor, Ella nodded in agreement. ”Yeah, I’m sure we’ll do well. We’ve got really great representatives so it’s no surprise.” And she smiled at the badger before squinting again at the happenings below. Speaking of happenings, the older blonde was nervous? ”You’ll do great, yeah? Just try your best and trust your instincts…and your partner.” Nodnod. Seemed legit.

Kat was probably right about the puzzles and such. “Hopefully the train doesn’t tip over or something crazy.” Cause who knew, yeah? These tasks could get crazy and Ella didn’t fancy seeing any Ravenclaws get crushed. ~~Unless it was on the Quidditch pitch, yeah?~~ ”I’m sure they’ve got it under control. They’re both smart.” And hopefully not facing anything too dangerous.

And there was Wade. Ella BEAMED at the curly-haired badger and waved too cause Hiiiiii! ”It is exciting. Some are more excited than others though as you can see.” Looks for Lex. Did Wade see? Would he step in if she got out of hand? He was the head boy, after all.

Or y’know…the headmistress could get involved since Lex just lit the other girl’s, the one who was also in love, sign on fire. O__O UM! “Aguamenti.” At the placard. The one Lex was BURNING. Merlin! Someone help? Anyone? …Lottie! She would help.

…Or not.

”So…on a scale from one to crazy, I’m gonna say your best friend is off the charts.” And she wasn’t trying to be funny, Ella was worried.

"Oh, sometimes Alexa shares sweets," the redhead waved her hand a little bit. At least she did share sweets with Bunz, anyway. "But you're right, this IS unusual. Claudette is usually pretty quiet. Hold on, let me try something here......."

She sneakily got her wand out and pointed it at both Cambridge and Claudette... and their burning sign. "Aqua Eructo!" she whispered, watching as a giant blast of water spurted out all over the two girls. Well that ought to wake them up, eh? Good thing Ella had the fire sign under control, because Bunz's water was focused entirely on cooling down the two girls.

Oooooooookay.

Water. Water was happening. And everywhere, might we add. Granted, one part served to put out the fire Lex had started (no surprise there, if anyone was starting any fire it'd be Lex), but what was the Headmistress doiiiiing?

Also, where was Lafay? Because they'll be needing that Professor soon based on what Lex told her and the way she was acting. You put two and two together, you know? It wasn't that difficult to figure out. Especially not when Lottie knew how Lex felt about certain things.

Thank Merlin for Ella, though. The Captain brought her out of all that staring she was doing and she frowned at Lex while giving Ella a worried look. Never mind if this had been amusing in the beginning, it wasn't amusing now. And she needed her bestie. ~~So selfish.~~ "I know." Worried Lottie equals time to go Lex, we need to fix you.

"But Cassiiiiiaaaaaaa, I am in love! I am, I promise, with the most amazing person in the entire world. I can introduce you if you'd like so long as you remember he's mine and not yours. There's only so many things we can share, you know?" Like clothes whenever they slept at each other's houses and food...candy...notes in History class (because Merlin knew she needed those) but not boys. No. Gaston was aaallll heeeerrrsss. "You shouldn't look so surprized. It's to be expected with how puuurfect he is." Why was she the only one seeing him this way? Well not the only one considering Ms. Duplicates Signs was standing right there but she was not Lex's concern.

Despite her best friend's pleading, she continued to wave the placard about, proudly screaming the Frenchie's name even if he couldn't hear her from inside the train. Man, she just wished everyone else would shut up to make her more easily heard. A sonorus would be in order soon.

"Venom can seeeee her mummy in love, Cass, it's not a crime. One day she'll find love toooooo, won't it be grand?" Her little spider baby in love one day. Too cute. And what was that? Making a fool of herself?? "Nuh-uuuhh!!! She," Lex said, raising an accusing finger to the older Ravenclaw, "is making a fool of herself. Can you believe she thinks my boyfriend it her true love? Pfffft and to think she's meant to be the smart one."

Now please, she had a French boy to support.

Lex couldn't help but hear Min saying Gaston's name. How could she???? But then she heard the Headmistress ask something about him and candy. She whipped around immediately, a wide but goofy grin set in place. "He diiiiiid!! He gave me a bag of them and asked that I give them to specific people then keep the rest but no one wanted any--except Sarah so I kept them because they were from hiiiiim--"

Ohai Lottie!!! The Fourth Year noted her bestie standing somewhere near Ella and turned her smile to her. Was she always here? Was she cheering for Gaston as well?? Ella had put out her fire but not before it ruined the placard. Good. Her placard was to be the only one waving today so he'd notice her and she could get snuggles later. Just a little way off she heard people gasping and turned to look down in the Arena again. That's when it happened. Out of NOWHERE a jet of water, soaking her to the boy.

"Holy kneazle! I'm tryyyying to watch Gaston! Which bloody idiot just did that??" UGH!!! So good she'd learned that drying spell in class and had Alice give her so much practice on close. Lex stomped her foot in annoyance. "Great, just greeeat. I did my hair today--actually brushed it and everything, now this????" Yes, Alexa was fussing about her hair, it was important to look pretty today. No doubt another one of those stupid foreigners and their pranks. Man were those getting old.

"This is just bloody fantastic." She drew her wand. Where would she even begin?

Princesspower · 11-15-2013, 02:08 PM

Sarah had been quiet all along. She was not the type to declare things like that, when she was infatuated with someone she just thought of them and did not show like the others did. She was a princess to the core after all, trying to behave in a the most refined manner possible.
She was still trying to get her mind off him, when she saw Alexa start a fight over something. Gaston. Does that mean that Sarah had good taste if two other people liked the same boy? That was good. Yet Alexa got a bit upset and burnt something, that was when Sarah decided to speak up.
"Alexa don't be like that. You can't own a person, like that. If someone likes the same person as you it means yoou have good taste." Sarah said, repearting her earlier thoughts. Then she added "Besides it is probably just an infatuation" She said that part more for herself, because she was having a hard time internilising it. "and besides, Gaston likes me, after all, he sent me chocolates through you. Furthermore, we are pretty suited for each other as the value in arithmancy of Gaston is 22. The value of Sarah is 20. Then using Arithmancy on Edwards you get 29, which you add digits together getting 11, then add 11 and you get two. So therefore my first name and my last name is 22 as well" That was how she was combining her learning with her thoughts.

Sarah tried to learn more, yet the thoughts kept on coming back. Eventually she decided to turn to outside help for guidance. "can someone help me? I can't stop thinking of someone and I am trying to learn and it is not helping my concentration. Also, I am on for the next task, so I want to have that person off my mmind for a while. Does anyone know what I can do?". If Sarah had a different complexion she would have blushed, yet now she just felt embarressed.

"This is just bloody fantastic." She drew her wand. Where would she even begin?

The more Lex talked the more sure Cassia became that there was something HUGELY wrong. Alexa wouldn't talk like that and certainly not in public! "If only you could hear yourself," she muttered squinting her eyes at the Gryffindor. Not that the boy wasn't handsome, you gotta give it to him. He wasn't hard on the eyes, none of the foreign students were but they haven't done anything to have anyone fall in love with them. Let alone Lex. Claudette too!

Did she just say that Venom was going to find love one day? "Says the girl who didn't let me paint her home in pink!" she gasped! How come falling in love is now allowed while using the color PINK was not! Cassia was going to demand her equal rights. She was the other guardian and she so happened to be older. But this wasn't the time for the regular argument the two bestfriends and co-guardians had about the spider. Ahem. Though she did want to have the rights written down with fingerprints and in the presence of witnesses.

……. Was that water?

The snake stepped back just in time to avoid the surge of water. Several drops did reach her but nothing severe. WHO was it?! Cassia's head whipped around and registering the presence of people she had not noticed before. Mind you the sight of Lex with that placard was a little bit eye catching. But look, Bunz was there talking with the prefect.

Whoever did this meant to …help? Or try a new spell. Or didn't want to get burned down seeing the other burning placard.

As she was poorly analyzing the surroundings she didn't notice Sarah right away. OH COME ON! That girl TOO! Cassia couldn't help not roll her eyes. Really? Three girls pining on one dude. There were other handsome ones. Which means that Gaston dude had done something.

"I heard Gaston has a pretty French girlfriend back at home, sorry girls," she said looking at the three girls in turns. Total lie. Was it gonna help though?

Speaking of help. Wasn't this Lottie? Cassia waved for the hufflepuff girl and shot a worried look at Lex. "Any idea what's happening?"

It was creepy and strange.” She shook her head, “Then when Alexa started acting well.. like this and said the chocolate was from him and that he wanted me to have some. I know there is something in them.. There has to be.” She glanced at the two heads.. Was she nuts or was this something that was really happening?

Oh of course. The chocolate must've had SOMETHING in it that made Alexa be what she is now. Why would she be so drawn towards Gaston after eating chocolates. It couldn't be a spell and... yes, Kat sort of put together the pieces in her head. "If you're saying that the chocolate Gaston gave Alexa made her into what she is now... don't you think it might've been a potion? I'm thinking about a love potion since she seems pretty obsessed with him." Then Kat listened to Min as she told her about what happened in the library between her and Gaston. The Head Girl was wearing the 'are you serious?' face on. She couldn't believe that this Frenchie dude who called her Madame - Kat just realized that Madame was a title for married women - was making a move on Min and had even decided to try kissing her. "Gross," she said. Not that she hasn't done kissing herself... but really? Gaston was pretty but that was so not cool. "He's probably playing and trying to make a move with you." Like what he was probably trying to do with me in the Observatory. Ahem, just saying.

Head Girl Hudson. Nice combo, Kat thought. She would thank the Headmistress about the badge but you know... the redhead probably knew that she was thankful. Maybe. "I'm okay, Headmistress. I'm also very confident about our performance in the quiz bowl." They were going to OWN it. "How about you, Headmistress?" What has Headmistress Truebridge been up to lately? Hmmmmmm.

Then Kat heard Min speak to the Headmistress about Alexa and her unusual behavior. She listened to them have a conversation, of course. Not that she was eavesdropping, but just so that she might be able to support Min's statements to prove that something was definitely going on. "Also, Headmistress, there has been weird things going on in classes ever since the other schools came." Where the other school heads listening? Were they aware of their students' actions? They had every right to know and to discipline them. They were certainly nothing showing the attitude of what student who is the 'best in their school' was. "Crystal balls falling, toenail-growing hexes, and things like that." As the Head Girl, she was indeed concerned about Hogwarts.

But what had suddenly gotten to her to change her stance on him?

"Oh hey! That's Mo! I know him," he added, turning back to the tournament going on in front of them. He was starting to become familiar with everyone in the school, even the OLDER kids. Gah. He was so cool.

Hehe. Caleb was definitely thinking like a Slytherin, Kat thought. Do you see why she liked him, now? "Not wrong at all, but there must be another way though. Gaston seems pretty busy trying to make sure that Beauxbatons doesn't come in third place for this round." SMIRK. Yeah, the Frenchies did come in third place in the previous round which was a bit amusing to Kat. Was that bad? No, never.

"I know Mo too," Kat replied. "He's pretty awesome, both in class and Quidditch." Caleb must've seen him fly, right? That also made Kat think if he had been to the Slytherin matches this term. Just out of curiosity, you know. Slytherin could totally use more supporters since they were such an awesome team so why not? "We're gonna win the Quiz Bowl, don't you agree?"

Even Cassia, who was Alexa's best friend, didn't think that the Gryffindor's attitude was normal. "What do you suppose happened to her?" Kat watched Alexa even more, curious and all. She was concerned of course, both as Alexa's friend and pseudosister. She knew that Alexa was really hardcore when it comes to school spirit, but why would she even have Gaston spirit? It was so weird. The Slytherin tried not to squint much at Lex, because that was rude. She diverted her attention back to the arena.

"I can't be sure. Nobody can see through the train's walls," Kat said. Not like they had x-ray glasses right now. "But I think that they're both doing well, maybe almost finished. Mo and Kendall are Ravenclaws and I would never doubt their abilities." There were no dumb Ravenclaws and even if Kat tried to find out if there was, she was unsuccessful.

They’re both smart.” And hopefully not facing anything too dangerous.

Yes, Kat hoped so too. "But they're nearing a cliff and the train is moving really fast," the Head Girl stared at the train where Mo and Kendall were in. She couldn't help but feel scared and nervous for them. Plus, Hogwarts couldn't afford to let the two Ravenclaws fall into their deaths because of one frickin' round. "I believe in the two of them. Although I wish I could really see what's happening. It makes me curious." Were there creatures there? Riddles? Walls that would crush you in a matter of seconds if you don't escape in time? There were a lot of possibilities.

"Also, we need a super exclusive handshake soon." Kat didn't want to graduate without having to check this off her 'to do before graduation' list. Kind of like her bucket list, but she only had a few months left before she had to say goodbye.

Hey, Cassia! Lottie would smile but she pretty much shared the concern over Lex with the Slytherin, given the worried look she was giving the Hogwartian. Sigh. Truth be told..., "I do have a guess...and I may be right...," because there was no other option to consider. It was simple.

At least that option had a solution, yeah? Yes!

Text Cut: Lex!

All smiles. All smiles. That was Lex.

Until the water happened and...LOL! That bloody idiot was the Headmistress! Who was actually quite a bloody genius if you asked Lottie because her bestie was suddenly focusing on something else, well, this was a good a time as any, so she just stood up and went to Lex. "You should go dry up some other place, what if Gaston suddenly sees you like this?" Yeah, we're whispering, who cares. "I'll help you out, yes? Just follow me?" Somewhere, anywhere, where she might not make a fool of herself even more than she'd already had.

Thankfully, everyone seemed to think there was something wrong with her. That was good. Less embarrassment for the future.

TakemetotheBurrow · 11-15-2013, 11:59 PM

Ells and the headmistress were sort of like a team right now, yeah? While one extinguished the flames on the placard, the other extinguished the flames of love. Or, y’know, cooled down the fire a bit… HOPEFULLY. The blonde simply smiled and let out a relieved sigh when the placard was no longer burning. Not TOO big a smile though cause that would have been mean, y’know? Yeah.

She felt bad for Lottie, y’know? And like she wanted to say something reassuring or helpful but the only thing she could think was that the Gryffindor had lost her gobstones. Or that she’d been poisoned…with Amortentia or something. Actually, that made the most sense. Where was Lafay when you needed her? ”She’ll be okay.” Eventually…hopefully. Yeah.

And then coo-coo bananas was smiling at her and the blonde managed a small smile for Lex in return but she was mostly just worried. Lex was soaking wet now, did she know? Someone get crazy-pants a towel.

BLINK.

What on earth was that Sarah girl talking about? Ella sort of just stared. She was tempted to squirt her with water because apparently that was allowed and not frowned upon but she didn’t. Instead more staring happened. STARE.

Kat seemed to be handling this entire situation well, y’know? That’s probably why she was head girl, she stayed focused around all the craziness. The blonde turned her attention back to her blonde buddy just after seeing Lottie try and get her best friend out of here. Good plan, Lottie.

Frowning. Cliff and Hogwartians and trains and yeah. She didn’t like the sound of that at all. ”They’ll be fine. I mean…they have to be, yeah?” Her voice might have cracked a bit because worried badger over here but still. ”You’d think they’d give us Omnioculars or something.” Y’know, so they could SEE.

Handshake? REALLY? ”I was actually thinking the same thing. It wouldn’t be right now having one before you left.” And she smiled a little before looking down. It was sad when people had to leave. Very sad.

Mell · 11-16-2013, 01:19 AM

It was luck that his friend Forrest had talked so much about this competition thing otherwise Michael would have once more forgotten about it.

He had been going to sit on the other side of the grandstands but he had spotted Alexa sitting on this side so he had started making his way over. He could hear her yelling out but not the exact words she was shouting. It wasn't until his foot was on the bottom step that he heard her cheering on one of the French dudes.

His gaze followed hers and his good mood deflated instantly. So the girl he had a crush on, had a crush on someone else.

Gaston!

Michael pulled a face as he said the name inside his head. What kind of stupid name was that? He didn't bother to go any further up the grandstand instead he just sunk down onto the bench in the front row.

Well this sucked!

DaniDiNardo · 11-16-2013, 02:00 AM

SPOILER!!: Sarah

And then Sarah happened....

*SIGH*

Just how many of these people were gonna walk up thinking they had some kind of claim to her Gaston?? Seriously?? It was annoying and pathetic, like they should have known better, you know? She rolled her eyes as the girl rambled on about numbers and last names. Was she meant to pay attention to any of the garbage? No? She didn't think so.

Lex raised her wand to the girl. "Back off Edwards or I'll add your hair to my burn list. Gaston is mine." WHY was it so hard for people to understand this??? Wasn't the placard enough for them to SEE??

"Now get back to your studying or whatever and quit distracting him before you make him lose." Stupid stupid girl. Siiiigh. Lex couldn't expect her to know any better.

SPOILER!!: Cassia!

He wasn't hard on the eyes, none of the foreign students were but they haven't done anything to have anyone fall in love with them. Let alone Lex. Claudette too!

Did she just say that Venom was going to find love one day? "Says the girl who didn't let me paint her home in pink!" she gasped! How come falling in love is now allowed while using the color PINK was not! Cassia was going to demand her equal rights. She was the other guardian and she so happened to be older. But this wasn't the time for the regular argument the two bestfriends and co-guardians had about the spider. Ahem. Though she did want to have the rights written down with fingerprints and in the presence of witnesses.

……. Was that water?

The snake stepped back just in time to avoid the surge of water. Several drops did reach her but nothing severe. WHO was it?! Cassia's head whipped around and registering the presence of people she had not noticed before. Mind you the sight of Lex with that placard was a little bit eye catching. But look, Bunz was there talking with the prefect.

Whoever did this meant to …help? Or try a new spell. Or didn't want to get burned down seeing the other burning placard.

As she was poorly analyzing the surroundings she didn't notice Sarah right away. OH COME ON! That girl TOO! Cassia couldn't help not roll her eyes. Really? Three girls pining on one dude. There were other handsome ones. Which means that Gaston dude had done something.

"I heard Gaston has a pretty French girlfriend back at home, sorry girls," she said looking at the three girls in turns. Total lie. Was it gonna help though?

Speaking of help. Wasn't this Lottie? Cassia waved for the hufflepuff girl and shot a worried look at Lex. "Any idea what's happening?"

Alexa was gearing up to ignore Cassia as well. The girl wasn't saying anything of value and it was kinda distracting her from Gaston. What did it matter to her if she could hear herself or not? All that mattered was that he could hear her. That sonorus charm would have to happen after she got herself dried. Where was Elodie or Charlie? She could ask them to redo her hair.

"Pink is a fantastic idea. Sooooooo romantic. I think Venom will really like it, don't you?" Why couldn't their darling spider's home be pink? She was a girl spider afterall. Silly Cassia was silly. Hehehe--

EHHH?!

Lex made a face at her friend, trying her hardest not to insult her on the simply virtue that they were best friends and all that. "How's about you stop talking?" That was nice, yes? No insults for Cassia, nope, but she didn't appreciate what she was saying. "The only girlfriend he has is ME and we're super happy together. Don't be getting jealous and trying to make stuff up, it's rude and annoying. I know you know better than that."

Honestly Cassia, jeeeez.

SPOILER!!: Lottie~

Then the next thing she knew Lottie was standing next to her and whispering things. Lex let out an audible sigh of relief. SOMEONE who was actually trying to help her out here.

"Thanks Lottie, you're a life saver. Do you think you can help me get my hair looking good again too. Some idiot got it wet and now it doesn't look as nice." Her other bestie would understand this. Had to look nice and all. She took another glance down into the arenas before nodding.

"Okay lead the way but hurry up, I wanna get back to cheering so they don't get the idea that they've won or something." Come along Lottie, she didn't have all day. She had to a Gaston to return to fangirling.

Alexa ignored Cassia and continued waving her placard around until this other girl came. Hold UP!!!

"Your true love?? You mean MINE!!!" Alexa Christina Cambridge did NOT share. NO GUUURL, getch'yo OWWWN FRENCH BOY!!! She watched, her mouth hung open as the girl duplicated her placard, HER placard and made it all flashy. No! No no no no holy Merlin, St Kneazle Circe NOOOO!! Alexa whipped out her wand immediately. "INCENDIO!!!" Bye bye placard. Only room for the original here.

"Now BACK OFF GIRLY, You're gonna distract my boy candy! Mooooove!" If she could she would shove her but she was kinda BUSY CHEERING, Ahem. "GO GASTON!!! GO GO GO!!! Beat those Hogwartians and Durmstrangers!! WOO!!" Was this girl still standing here???

As for Wade, she grinned wide. "We aaaaarrreeeee, he's so perfect and amazing and we're gonna be happy together forever. It's all gonna work out, you'll see." BEAM.

"Oh, sometimes Alexa shares sweets," the redhead waved her hand a little bit. At least she did share sweets with Bunz, anyway. "But you're right, this IS unusual. Claudette is usually pretty quiet. Hold on, let me try something here......."

She sneakily got her wand out and pointed it at both Cambridge and Claudette... and their burning sign. "Aqua Eructo!" she whispered, watching as a giant blast of water spurted out all over the two girls. Well that ought to wake them up, eh? Good thing Ella had the fire sign under control, because Bunz's water was focused entirely on cooling down the two girls.

She was still trying to get her mind off him, when she saw Alexa start a fight over something. Gaston. Does that mean that Sarah had good taste if two other people liked the same boy? That was good. Yet Alexa got a bit upset and burnt something, that was when Sarah decided to speak up.
"Alexa don't be like that. You can't own a person, like that. If someone likes the same person as you it means yoou have good taste." Sarah said, repearting her earlier thoughts. Then she added "Besides it is probably just an infatuation" She said that part more for herself, because she was having a hard time internilising it. "and besides, Gaston likes me, after all, he sent me chocolates through you. Furthermore, we are pretty suited for each other as the value in arithmancy of Gaston is 22. The value of Sarah is 20. Then using Arithmancy on Edwards you get 29, which you add digits together getting 11, then add 11 and you get two. So therefore my first name and my last name is 22 as well" That was how she was combining her learning with her thoughts.

Sarah tried to learn more, yet the thoughts kept on coming back. Eventually she decided to turn to outside help for guidance. "can someone help me? I can't stop thinking of someone and I am trying to learn and it is not helping my concentration. Also, I am on for the next task, so I want to have that person off my mmind for a while. Does anyone know what I can do?". If Sarah had a different complexion she would have blushed, yet now she just felt embarressed.

Like clothes whenever they slept at each other's houses and food...candy...notes in History class (because Merlin knew she needed those) but not boys. No. Gaston was aaallll heeeerrrsss. "You shouldn't look so surprized. It's to be expected with how puuurfect he is." Why was she the only one seeing him this way? Well not the only one considering Ms. Duplicates Signs was standing right there but she was not Lex's concern.

Despite her best friend's pleading, she continued to wave the placard about, proudly screaming the Frenchie's name even if he couldn't hear her from inside the train. Man, she just wished everyone else would shut up to make her more easily heard. A sonorus would be in order soon.

"Venom can seeeee her mummy in love, Cass, it's not a crime. One day she'll find love toooooo, won't it be grand?" Her little spider baby in love one day. Too cute. And what was that? Making a fool of herself?? "Nuh-uuuhh!!! She," Lex said, raising an accusing finger to the older Ravenclaw, "is making a fool of herself. Can you believe she thinks my boyfriend it her true love? Pfffft and to think she's meant to be the smart one."

Now please, she had a French boy to support.

Lex couldn't help but hear Min saying Gaston's name. How could she???? But then she heard the Headmistress ask something about him and candy. She whipped around immediately, a wide but goofy grin set in place. "He diiiiiid!! He gave me a bag of them and asked that I give them to specific people then keep the rest but no one wanted any--except Sarah so I kept them because they were from hiiiiim--"

Ohai Lottie!!! The Fourth Year noted her bestie standing somewhere near Ella and turned her smile to her. Was she always here? Was she cheering for Gaston as well?? Ella had put out her fire but not before it ruined the placard. Good. Her placard was to be the only one waving today so he'd notice her and she could get snuggles later. Just a little way off she heard people gasping and turned to look down in the Arena again. That's when it happened. Out of NOWHERE a jet of water, soaking her to the boy.

"Holy kneazle! I'm tryyyying to watch Gaston! Which bloody idiot just did that??" UGH!!! So good she'd learned that drying spell in class and had Alice give her so much practice on close. Lex stomped her foot in annoyance. "Great, just greeeat. I did my hair today--actually brushed it and everything, now this????" Yes, Alexa was fussing about her hair, it was important to look pretty today. No doubt another one of those stupid foreigners and their pranks. Man were those getting old.

"This is just bloody fantastic." She drew her wand. Where would she even begin?

Claudette's mouth dropped open in OUTRAGE as the delusional girl set her flashy heart, true love, support for the amazing Gaston sign on fire! She simply stared at it in horror and disbelief for a moment before standing at waving the flaming placard towards the girl. "YOU... YOU.. HOW DARE YOU DESTROY MY TOKEN OF SUPPORT AND AFFECTION FOR MY ONE TRUE LOVE?!" she shrieked at the girl. She obviously couldn't have possibly cared about the boy as much as she did or she would want the huge cheering section for Gaston that Claudette knew he deserved. Back off? BACK OFF?! It was clear this girl was crazy because Claudette was going nowhere.

Her sign still on fire, Claudette started waving it around, determined to cheer even louder than Ms. Delusional. See, from far away her lit sign would be more noticeable. "MY LOVE BURNS FOR YOU GASTOOooon.." The end of her shout came out more like a shriek as she was suddenly doused with a spraying of water. WHAT was that?! Her sign now a soggy, ashen mess, the blonde tossed it to the ground and first cast accusing eyes to Alexa. Jealous and trying to stop her cheering again, wasn't she? But no.. she was just as outraged. Well, the Gryffindor could sort things out. She had to look good for Gaston and didn't have time to worry about water.

Quickly casting a drying charm on herself, Claudette patted down her hair, then glanced in the direction of voices calling her name. Oh.. it was Ethan and Min. She gave them a little wave then shook her head. Take a break from Gaston.. who were they kidding? "Maybe later.. I'm busy cheering," she called towards them with a smile. Yes, it seemed she had to redouble her efforts now, she couldn't possibly stop her support for that perfect boy.

And then she heard some rambling. Claudette turned and gave Sarah and odd look. Some sort of Arithmancy rationale of why she should be the one for Gaston. Silly girl. Claudette simply shook her head and gave a little laugh. "You can cheer over here for him if you want. I'm not that possessive of my boyfriend." Yes, he was her boyfriend now in her mind. "He deserves to have a HUGE cheering section.. just as long as you know that he is my true love for always and forever." So don't even think about making any moves on him, Sarah Edwards. She had her eye on you.

And then she heard it. The voice of Cassia made her whip her head around. "Yes, as a matter of fact he does," she informed the snake with an all-knowing smile. "I am his pretty French girlfriend.." Was this really still an issue up for discussion? "I've gone to school with him for years before I came here," she said simply. It was true. And that should set everyone's doubts to rest. He belonged with her.

THIS. Thank you, Ella. Clearly Lottie needed more encouragement, yeah? And reassurance that everything will be back to how it was, perhaps this will show Lex to cut down her chocolate intake for good. So, the Captain got a nod and a small smile. And the others...

...Oh, Merlin, just how many chocolate frogs had Lex shared??? Well, Lottie was only gonna help her best friend. Everyone else could claim Gaston as their boyfriend for all she cared.

Text Cut: Lex! <33

Life saver. Yeah, you have NO idea, Lex. No idea.

'Some idiot'. Lottie inconspicuously eyed the Headmistress for a second before nodding back at Lex, "How rude, yeah?" Genius. Headmistress is a genius. ~~And a former Hufflepuff, but she was no Airey Flamsteed, so her cool factor was lower.~~ "I have perfect hair all the time, I'll help you out." No, she didn't, those were Alec and Tag, but whatever, no one needs to know. "You have to look your best, after all." Yeah, yeah, let's go.

A nod! The fake!smile on her face lightened up and was actually a real smile this time. Good choice, Lex!

"Yeah, we'll go real quick, come on." A hand was gripping Lex's arm, gently of course, as she walked away from the others and...most importantly, away from the stands.

They needed to fix their bestie. She still had some convincing to do for this.

DaniDiNardo · 11-16-2013, 04:15 AM

SPOILER!!: Lottie!

Alexa wasn't even going to acknowledge that Ravenclaw girl who clearly didn't know what she was talking about. There was no way SHE was Gaston's girlfriend so why even bother arguing it to make it seem real? Lex allowed herself, instead, to be pulled away from the stands by her best friend who would have her nice and dry with lovely hair again then she'd be back in time to see the end of this task. It would all go perfectly.

"We should stop by the kitchen too, to get him something to eat because he'll be hungry after the challenge."

And once again the Fourth Year began rambling on about the Frenchie. Lottie had heard most of this before but that didn't stop Lex from repeating. Where were they even going? Some place close enough with a mirror?

The bathroom would be a good spot.

Oh geez. Fat lot of good that water appeared to be doing. The Headmistress' rosy lips drew together in a firm line of disapproval at these girls. Talk about fangirls... that was certainly ALL the children SURROUNDING Alexa, Claudette, and Sarah seemed capable of talking about! And since poor Sarah seemed hyper-aware of her situation... perhaps she'd take a bit of advice under consideration?

"Sarah, darling," she leaned over to speak to the girl, "I'd suggest getting Professor Lafay to whip you up a mild Hate Potion, or a Love Antidote as your best option. You'd best go NOW if you hope to be cured before your task starts." She gave the girl a fake-sympathetic smile and then leaned back.

Yes, her suspicions had been confirmed by Cambridge herself. This 'lovey dovey' stuff was a direct result of SABOTAGE by the hands of the other competitors. What low down, dirty, sneaky snakes! THE LOT OF THEM! She was going to boil over if she just sat here like this...

Then Kat heard Min speak to the Headmistress about Alexa and her unusual behavior. She listened to them have a conversation, of course. Not that she was eavesdropping, but just so that she might be able to support Min's statements to prove that something was definitely going on. "Also, Headmistress, there has been weird things going on in classes ever since the other schools came." Where the other school heads listening? Were they aware of their students' actions? They had every right to know and to discipline them. They were certainly nothing showing the attitude of what student who is the 'best in their school' was. "Crystal balls falling, toenail-growing hexes, and things like that." As the Head Girl, she was indeed concerned about Hogwarts.

Good thing the Head Girl was talking to her. Bunz NEEDED a distraction like right now. "I am too, dear, I am too," she replied distractedly, focusing her gaze once more on the arena. Too bad she couldn't really SEE anything. Hmmmmmph. "What about me? Huhmhm?"

She turned back to the girl when she mentioned weird things going on in classes. "Whaaaaaaat?" she blinked at Hudson. "They've been sort of... disrupting classes, just for the sake of disrupting them? But why? Haven't we just been PERFECT hosts to them?" They had given them their own beds, for Merlin's sake! That was better than sleeping on the cold stone floor! Pffffffffft!

"How RUDE! I think I should file an official complaint against the EBWE!" This was UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT!
