Field Day Finale | Tug of War PV Finished

You know, the day hadn't been bad. Aurelia had actually quite enjoyed herself while bottle flipping... even though it was a bit childish. But it was refreshing to be able to act carefree and cheerful every now and then, and it's been a while since Aurelia felt free like this. So you know what? The day has been quite alright.

You could say that she had changed a bit over summer. She never really believed that teenagers were actually moody all the time until the tween experienced anxiety and depression for herself. Aurelia was happy that she could go back to Hogwarts, the only place that still feels like home.

Aurelia hastily joined the group of students that were lining up to play Tug of war. She never indulged much in all these muggle games, but you could say that she watched quite a few kids play in her neighbourhood. Her strength wasn't good either, so she preferred games like quidditch, where accuracy was more important.

To her delight, she quickly spotted Scarlett, a good friend of hers who had also participated in bottle flipping, and a not-so-familiar boy, who had also been bottle-flipping and who she vaguely remembered from the slumber party. "Hey Scarlett, and uh- who are you again?" With that said she took a place behind Scarlett and got ready to win this.

Willow was absolutely amazed at everyone that showed up, especially the professors. Sure, Ami and Willow had begged most of them to come, and whoever they didn't beg personally their bright Papa Badger stepped up for them. Their scrambled ideas and blooming friendship helped to bring it all to life, and for them to have fun while doing it. A bubbling sense of pride seemed to overflow when Ami came over to her to rest a hand on a shoulder and invite her to join her on the professor side. She nodded quickly, "For sure. I might... Ope. She's gone." Ami quickly left to go talk to the Professors, and honestly their team was looking kind of sparse. Willow gazed around the field for who else could join them so she grabbed two prefects who both happened to be in Ravenclaw. "Will you two help me on the Professor side? They're kind of sparse and I want to give them a fighting chance." Whether or not they said yes she would already be running over to join them on grabbing the rope. She would shout out to the rest of the mingling crew, "Let's go! Final event of the Field Day! Grab a part of the rope and pull when I say go!"

Being as tiny as she was she stood in front for fear of being trampled if pulled down by the students. There were a couple of latecomers on the Professor side. An adult that she absolutely didn't recognize which worried her. She would say out to anyone around her to hear, "He's not a bad guy right? Just wandering the grounds?" But if none of the other professors seemed worried then her fears would be quickly assuaged. Not to mention a certain Groundskeeper that came and plopped himself on the rope, which was an interesting way to help but a way none the less.

"Ready... set.... go!" The pulling began! Quickly Gargott who was intensely focused on polishing some galleons and definitely wasn't prepared for what was happening around him fully fell and would probably face plant off of the rope. On the other side of the field two people seemed to immediately lose their grip on the rope, Martyna, a first year Willow observed in the potato sack race. Then Amadea, a fourth year, who she thought might have a better handle on this. Literally. No matter, it gave all the people on the Professor team all the advantage they needed to get a good heave to pull the students a bit.

This seemed like it would be a long battle. But a battle she was willing to fight for the people that had taken care of her since she arrived that first September night last year.

Starlee watched as both students and professors joined them. She didn't recognize any of the professors there, only her Head of House, @Hjørdis Jensen, whom she gave a small wave to. 'She probably doesn't even recognize me...' Starlee thought, knowing full well the lady had a lot on her plate. Not only that, but today was even her birthday? She decided not to say anything, her introvert side kicking in.

It was then she caught a flash of purple hair, and her eyes spied a cool looking student. Man, Starlee was glad to have them on her team, they looked pretty strong. Her introvertedness kicked in again, and she thought better of it than to speak to them. Maybe she will get up the courage to talk to them later... She went back to thinking about tug of war strategies. For her first-year size, Starlee could manage to pull her weight when she needed to, but she still wasn't sure she would be helping out that much. However, with their larger team, she figured there was no way they would lose to the professors. Not. A. Chance. 'We've got this in the bag!' she thought.

She stood next to Martyna in the line of students ready to pull with all their might when Willow began with a "Ready... set.... go!" Starlee tightly gripped the rope and pulled with everything she had in her. She felt like she was doing pretty well, but it seemed the students around her just weren't pulling hard enough, and she saw Martyna lose her grip. "Come on Tina, you've got this! Shake it off and get back to pulling!" She hoped that would be enough to get them back on track, but it didn't look good so far.

]The amount of people arriving at the event was a bit overwhelming. True, it wasn't just limited to a single year like with the horseshoes, but it still was a bit unexpected that this many people had showed up. He recognized a couple of them, obviously the professors, but he didn't want to conoodle with the opposing team. On his team, he could recognize Cash and Henry but that was about it.

Everyone got into positions, ready for the tugging to begin, and Nick found a spot between a blonde girl he didn't recognize and Henry. The rope felt coarse around his palms and Nick almost lost his grip even though they weren't even pulling yet. The professor, despite being the "adults" in this situation, were staring daggers at their team down with a lust for victory in their eyes.

The game was set in motion and everyone started tugging madly. He tried his best to help the cause, but the professors were really really strong. The girl in front of him seemed to be pulling her weight a lot, making Nick seem even more weak than he already was. There a valiant fight, but eventually the professors had gained a square, a rough start for their team.

As everyone paused for a moment, the boy behind him chippered up. Nick smirked at Henry's offer for a wager. He always enjoyed raising the stakes on a competition, it made everyone even more competitive which made the game more fun. "How 'bout if we lose, we have tae... we have tae clean the classrooms after school for a week?" Nick pipped in, before whispering to Henry, "Don' give these professors the chance to offer something mate, these guys are col' blooded." He excitedly tugged on the rope harder, eager to win this competition.

"Are you ready for this Tina? Cause I can't wait!"

Tina span around. Starlee! There she was. Despite the very little distance between them, the Hufflepuff girl found herself waving frantically to her Slytherin buddy, a wide grin spreading across her cheeks. The excitement of the day so far had almost been too much, and seeing a friend had her plunging into a moment of eager passion for tug of war! "Of course! We're gonna crush them! Look how many of us there are compared to them!" Tina couldn't help but get a little ahead of herself here. The professors might be physically stronger, but the student team was definitely winning in terms of numbers. Tina did note that her head of house was present, as well as Starlee's, (the girl gave a small wave to Professor Jensen, and Tina found herself copying).

On the other side of Starlee, Tina heard the small voice of another Slytherin, this one a second year boy. He appeared to be talking to one of the older teachers (who taught the 'future predicting' subject, Tina believed) about a reward for the winning team. Tina perked up, looking at Starlee with a cheeky grin. There had been rewards for the potato sack race, but no one mentioned anything about prizes for the tug of war! Before she could voice her agreement, however, another second year Slytherin boy spoke up, offering his thoughts.

"How 'bout if we lose, we have tae... we have tae clean the classrooms after school for a week?"

"Oh my gosh! That would be so bad!" Tina cried before she could stop herself. That was worse than detention! "I mean, we won't lose, so it doesn't matter~!" she chimed, grinning at Starlee. Luckily, the students would soon have a chance to prove this, as Willow was gathering the remaining stragglers, ready to start the competition. Tina tightened her grip on the rope, looking back at Starlee, and the two Slytherin boys. "I hope the teachers find something to do next week! Since we're going to win!"

"Ready... set.... go!"

Immediately, the rope came flying out of Tina's hands, and she fell forwards onto the ground with a thud. Behind her, Star called her support without hesitation. No time to despair about her embarrassment, Tina crawled back to her feet, her hands finding the rope again and getting ready to pull. She snapped her head up, throwing her hair out her face as she did so. "Nnngh! No way am I cleaning the classrooms!" Who knew the teachers could be so... intimidating.

The 'Fits

At the mention of Divination was a bit faulty to the professor that teaches the subject, Cash clamped their mouth. They did not want to riled someone up. Henry for a second year definitely has big talk to back his attitude up. They should have known the fact by now. Did Henry has a death wish or something, that is what the green eyes thought.

Caelan and Henry keep riled up the other side. Cash unconsciously rolled their eyes. Sure most of the students side are tween but with how the other two Slyhterins talked, one of these day the two will bring chaos everywhere they might go. The host for this game, grab two prefects to joined the professor team. Cash position themselves at the end of the rope for the students side.

They become the anchor for this game, again. Last year they played this game and surely Cash has the upper hand how to tackle tug of war and hoping this time around less bloody from the last time they played it. When the host yelled go meaning the start of the game, Cash grab the rough looking rope and tug it as hard as they can.

Their feet dug into the ground, there is no way they will face planted the grassy ground. Just about they think about it, two of the players from the students side fall. Cash heard a single voice belong to one of the first year's student cheered her friend to get back up and focus at the game on hand. Henry then mention how strong Cash is.

"Years of hanging by the tips of your fingers while practice wall climbing will do the trick"Cash explained between their labored breathe. "Less chatting and more pulling, mate"Cash told Henry between their gritted teeth. Inches by inches the students side move into the professors side of territory. Cash has enough with the lack of effort their team mates show.

It is time they speak up and hopefully it enough to amped up the others. "Hey noodles arms people!"Cash hollered from the back of the rope to the bunch of people that stand in front of them. "Put your back and strength to it, will you?"They half screamed so the people that was not near them heard it too. Their Cuban accent seeped out.

"Us in the back are trying here"Cash rasped out. Their voice are raw and their throat are dry because of the screaming. The green eyes felt like dejá vù. The purple haired uttered the same words to Alan last year during the same exact game. During the pulling of rope, Henry offered a friendly wager and Caelan respond to that.

At the end of first round the professors side won and round one of tug o' war ended. Maybe because of those two, their team was lost or maybe it because entirely other reason. When round one was ended, Cash dropped the rope from their hand and shake their reddened hands to lessen the pain. "Seriously?"The questioned their housemates.

"If at the end of this game we did not came out as a victor; good luck cleaning the classrooms for a week, mates"Cash said to both Henry and Caelan. "Count me out"They added and when the pain in their hands subside, they take their position again. Readying themselves for round two.

Cecily stood near the students, poised to grab the rope when a spot opened up. But before the action could begin, she heard a voice behind her, a voice that she had heard prominently more than once throughout the day. She found herself being herded to the other half of the rope-- the Professor's side, sparsely populated by the few Professors who had shown up, Ami, Willow, and now the two Ravenclaw Prefects. Cecily tried to keep the nerves from appearing on her face as she stepped into place on the left side of the rope towards the center, grabbing hold of it firmly with two hands, about a fist apart. She understood, of course, why Willow had chosen her to help out the Professors. Even if the adults were likely much stronger than most of the students, there were still significantly less of them, and they could use some extra hands. Plus, she was a Prefect-- an obvious choice of students to pull on the Professors' side. Nevertheless, it didn't mean she had to enjoy being surrounded by wizards who were taller, stronger, and older than her. Although she considered herself to be one of the older students at the school, the professors still had an air of intimidation-- particularly the newer ones.

Focusing on the match, she planted her feet-- left in front, right in back, with her hips facing the center-- and prepared herself for a mighty tug. She tried to stop herself from staring down the students across the rope, as she could just see them over Willow's head. But as soon as Willow gave the word to start, all thoughts slipped out of her head, replaced with the single command to pull as hard as any rather small fourth-year could. She thought she felt the rope move centimeters in their direction; but then, it could've just been wishful thinking. Cecily put her weight on her back foot and heaved.
