POINTS

October 2024 --- Potions Championship Final Task!

Colin felt totally energised as the ashwinder eggs levitated out of the now sandy and damp cabin! Up! Over the walls! And --- plop! plop! fizz! fizz! --- straight into a puddle of water where they could cool off! "FYYYYYRRRRRRE!" Colin sang out over the distance between their trees. "Let's get down and fetch our eggs!" Without even looking, Colin scampered down out of his tree and tore across the little patch of grassy ground that surrounded the cabin.

Potioneering really wasn't Colin's thing, but this more active part of the competition really got him going! He and AngelFyre really made a good team. He brought the energy; she tamed it and set it to purpose. She brought the plans; he set them into chaotic action. Perfect! Plus! They finally got to be outside, and it was raining! What could possibly be better than dashing about in the cool water!?

There, under the rainy clouds that still hovered over the quidditch pitch, two brilliant ashwinder eggs lay cooling in a puddle of fresh rain water. "OWOOOO!" Colin charged the puddle, meeting AngelFyre as she ran from the opposite direction. He jumped and splashed into the puddle, sending a gout of water in every direction! He kicked up some water, making sure the properly splash not only himself but his best mate as well!

"Come on come on come on Fyre!!" Colin danced around AngelFyre. "Let's get these eggs over to Professors Lennox and Regan! Oh! Wait!" Colin almost forgot something important! Colin got out his burn paste and slathered that on. "Ashwinders are really hot! I wonder if that means their eggs are pre-cooked?" Colin looked thoughtful for a moment. "I wonder if we get to keep the eggs! WOOOOO!"

Colin had a good feeling about this competition. With AngelFyre's help, he demonstrated that he could actually brew a potion without ending up in hospital. Of course, these weren't terribly difficult potions, but still! He felt really good about that, and even if they didn't win, he'd take that as a personal victory. And anyway, he got to do this thing with his best friend, and win or lose, that was a total plus!

"Heads up lassie!" Scooping up the eggs from their water bath, Colin tossed one to AngelFyre, then grabbed her hand and tore off towards the judges stand where they could show off their ashwinder eggs. "Come on Fyre! No time to lose!! WOOOOOOO!!"

Main actions: Colin applies burn paste and shows off his egg to the judges.

October 2024 - The International Potions Championship

And before she knew it, it was Mission Accomplished! She and Colin really did work well together. Both cast their levitation spells nearly simultaneously, and followed through perfectly on their extraction plan. Her egg was on fire, and she was amazed at the amount of steam that hissed from it when it made direct contact with the lovely water puddle that would be its new home for the next few minutes.

It had no sooner been nested safely in the puddle to cool off when she heard Colin call out to her across the field. "Let's get down and fetch our eggs!" AngelFyre nodded enthusiastically and gave him a thumbs up which he totally did not see because he was already back tracking on his limb to clamber down. She put Godshall swiftly away and followed quickly after him. She had to giggle as they both reached the clearing and Colin made a point to jump and splash in the puddle before reaching the eggs. AngelFyre was a mud puddler herself from years gone by and joined in with him immediately. Fun as it was, and light of heart as she could tell they both felt, they were still racing against the clock.

Colin beat her to the eggs, and she was relieved to see that he had slathered his burn healing paste on and had put his dragon hide gloves on, just in case they were still hot. He picked them both up and tossed one over to her, just as she had hurriedly, and barely, gotten her own dragon hide gloves on in the nick of time to make an artful catch. "We did it, Woofy! We actually did it!" and she laughed as he was already doing exactly what she knew he would do, and that was to run circles around her while impatiently prodding her with inane repetitions of, "Come on come on come on Fyre!"

"Okay! Okay. Off to the professors we shall go! But I swear to Merlin, Colin Andromeda McCoire...." and she just had to chuckle because that particular middle name of his was still hilarious to her, so much so in fact that her intended threatening demeanor had melted away much as a Boggart would with the casting of Ridiculus. Still, she gave it her best shot under the circumstances, knowing he would not feel in the least threatened by it, "If you even so much as lose yourself for a second and take a nibble of that egg, you can rest assured I shall consider it to be the condemned's last meal."

His eyes just twinkled and and he gave her a fangy grin while ignoring her weak-sauce threat. Grabbing her hand, he happily yanked her out of their staging area and down the field where together they raced to the judge's table to deliver their hard won eggs.

With nary a nibble to be found on either.
