Midspring Celebration

Felix had walked up and down the stairs about a hundred times.
He wasn’t frustrated, but he didn't want to say he was concerned, or worried, because Felix just didn't have such emotions. Whatever he was feeling, it was sure to be associated with the fact that Akemi had not yet arrived. He’d agreed to meet her outside the great hall, where they would go in together. However, she hasn't turned up yet. Felix vaguely wondered what outfit she would be sporting, she hadn't let him know. He himself had dressed up in light-colored dress robes, creamish-white in color. He looked quite handsome, but then again, he always did. Felix stood casually at the entrance of the great hall, resting on the wood of the large doorway, vaguely observing the scenery and the disgusting amount of people who had turned up. He was not looking forward to having to wade through the matrix of bodies in an effort to grab something as simple as a drink. The thought was distressing. Felix let his eyes wander across the hall as he patiently waited for Akemi, timing himself so that he’d go out to look for her again in the next 4, no, 3 minutes.
He’d let himself stare blankly for a few more minutes before he noticed someone startlingly familiar within the crowd. Felix couldn't help the wry grin that came to rest upon his lips. He stayed at a distance, still intent on watching out for Akemi, and noted that the squirrel boy did not seem to be alone. Ah, of course he was with his date, smurfette, and two other unfamiliar pretty faces. So Gem and Kim really had gone to the ball together? Interesting.
Right about now seemed delightfully perfect to arrive at the seam of apparent commotion. However he forced himself to watch from afar, deciding that Akemi was more important than riling up Kim and his companions. Felix watched in mild amusement as one of the girls, the redhead, began to panic frantically, tears spotting up at the corner of her eyes. He could not blame her for crying when she had a biting teacup painfully seizing her nose. How had that even happened?
It was not long however, before Felix's attention was swiftly captured by a different gaggle of students who seemed to be almost shouting over the noise of the collective attendees to the ball. He might have paid them no attention at all, but he couldn't help how his ears perked up at the word ‘games’. There were games? Had Felix even bothered to check out what was going on since arriving? He’d been too captivated in worrying thinking about where Akemi had gone off to, to properly take a look. Despite his hostile less than fond feelings towards interacting with people, Felix was undoubtedly competitive. He wouldn't risk skipping over signing up and miss such an opportunity. He’d come back to find Akemi later- he was sure. But for now, signing up seemed like a priority. He didn't know when the games might start.
He made his way over to where the supposed sign ups were, skimming his eyes over the information lazily before sweeping his hair out of his eyes. Now looking at the selection of games, Felix hadn't a clue what to pick, it was rather difficult to anticipate what each game consisted of. Deciding that he’d randomly pick one and hope for the best, he snatched up a piece of parchment and scrawled his choice onto it. It would have been delightful if Kim was to pick the same one as him, maybe Felix would try to win just to spite him, or purposefully look for ways he could make Kim lose. Yes, that seemed like a plan.

Midspring Celebration
The painted sky darkens into a night sky illuminated by stars outside, while inside music roared and fireworks flashed on the ceiling as the ball continued.
A tale of love was occurring on the floor between three preteens with hearts ablaze. @Levi Drakos heart seem to beat for one girl thay evening and appeared to want nothing more than to avenge her as he aimed his wand but @Winnie Harper heart still beats for multiple guys as she made a move to stop Levi's revenge.
Expelliarmus DC: 10
Wisdom Check: [d20:11]+7=18, Success
Accuracy Check: [d20:15]+7=22
Evasion Check: [d20:6]+8=14, Hit
Does Winnie disarm Levi before he casts: [t!choose yes|no] - yes
Levi's wand would flick from his wrist before the incantation for the knockback jinx could reach his peachy lips and into the grip of Winnie Harper who seem to hold feelings for both lads... but the question is which one will finally win her hand?
@Mathias Pride
Back over at the group of Koldovstoretz students, Edward Smith (@Noah Jupe) had managed to accidentally backfire the Slug Vomiting Charm onto himself, and he was looking to fix the situation.
Finite Incantatem DC: 9
Wisdom Check: [d20:11]+6=17, Success
While Edward had cast a rather well done Finite Incantatem, it was unfortunately not the spell that was a used to nullify the Slug Vomiting Charm, so he was unable to stop the effects. Fortunately though, the spell was actually wearing off anyway, so the boy would be vomiting slugs no more.
Somewhere else in the room, Greta Fransson (@Evelynn Decipio) was battling between her head and her heart, clearly unsure of her feelings. This resulted in the possibly childish action of throwing a bread roll at her potential crush.
Accuracy Check: [d20:6]+12=18
Evasion Check: [d20:7]+8=15, Hit
Her aim would strike true, hitting Theodore Duncain (@Opeila Winters) right in the shoulder. Would this give her the attention it seemed she craved, or would he be upset?
Of course there was never ending drama occurring at this school, and a ball wouldn't be a ball with spells continuously being flung around haphazardly. One such youth, Mikael Halldorson (@Percival Rainwood), would begin with an incendio.
Incendio DC: 9
Wisdom Check: [d20:13]+6=19, Success
Accuracy Check: [d20:6]+10=16
Evasion Check: [d20:12]+13=25, Miss
Duration: [d6: 6], Two rounds
Mikeal's incendio missed Selim so where does it go?
[t!choose potluck | healing tent | ground | Nifler | Arjan | Yefim]
Yefim Rumyantsev (@Flash Holmwood)
Selim's attack in Self-Defense
Accuracy Check: [d20:7]+12=19
Yefim's Bodyblock
Accuracy Check: [d20:11]+10=21, Succeed
Valentin's disarming charm
Wisdom Check: [d20:4]+15=19, Success
Accuracy Check: [d20:12]+11=23
Evasion Check: [d20:15]+13=25, Miss
While Mikael's incendio missed, it still found its target in that of his partner Yefim, who had possibly made himself a target in the first place by blocking and taking the hit of Selim's attack. Valentin Schnell (@Aida Mòrsgor-Ama Ellwood) attempted to stop this from happening at all, but his aim missed.
Yefim now had a punctured Achillese Tendon, along with now being set on fire. This would certainly be quite the spectacle as the champions were to be announced shortly.
It wouldn't be a Hogwarts Ball without a few pranksters roaming about, and one of them was ready, one Hiro Bakugo (@Kim Sato). Hiro had so sneakily stashed an ever-bashing boomerang in his suit pocket, and now certainly seemed like the time to let it loose.
Does Hiro's Boomerang hit anyone?
[t!choose yes|no] - no
It appeared at least for now the guests of the ball were safe from the boomerang as it returned back to Hiro without causing any harm.
However Hiro wasn't the only one attempting to cause some mischief. @Kim Sato had brought quite a few Exploding Bon Bon's that he hoped would explode on people. It was an interesting trick, as Exploding Bon Bon's were candies that one typically ate, but he must have know that liquid could trigger the little buggers into exploding cocoa power upon unsuspecting victims.
Bob bons 1-4: Do the ones near the food table explode when someone is there?
[t!choose yes|no] - yes
[t!choose Phylicia Stanwood | Maximilien de Fostoncy | Selim Faust | Mikael Halldorson | Greta Fransson | Gemima Sable | Clair Fernandez | Edward Smith | Percival Gray | Santario Martin | Lee Ye-jun | Eun-ji LeeHunt]
@ Eun-ji Lee Hunt, @Clair Fernandez, Mikael Halldorson (@Percival Rainwood), @Santario Martin
Bob bon 5: Does a bon bon explod near Lindsey and Henri?
[t!choose yes | no] - no
Bob bon 6: Does the bon bon near the doors explode?
[t!choose yes | no] - no
Bob bon 7: Does the bon bon near the base of the Goblet of Fire explode?
[t!choose yes | no] - no
Bob bon 8: Does the bon bon Near Edward, Clair, Erin, Galton & Jurgen explode?
[t!choose yes | no] - no
Bob bon 9: Does the bon bon out on the dance floor explode?
[t!choose yes | no] - yes
[t!choose Alec Mason | Rose Moon | Lucia Fox | Samantha Salwis]
@Samantha Salwis
Bob bon 10: Does the bon bon near Arjan, Cain, Felix Kolbeck & Henrietta explode?
[t!choose yes | no] - yes
Who does it explode on?
[t!choose Arjan Oberoi | Felix Kolbeck | Cain Corvus | Henrietta]
Felix Kolbeck (@Winnie Harper)
It seemed quite a few of the Bon Bon's would be hit or stepped on, causing a plume of cocoa powder to coat them. Near the potluck table, @Clair Fernandez, Mikael Halldorson (@Percival Rainwood), @Santario Martin would find their lower halves now coated in a chocolatey powder. Luckily, @ Eun-ji Lee Hunt had decided to leave to the Festival, so she made it out unscathed.
The bon bon out on the dance floor was in quite the precarious location, and one @Samantha Salwis would find herself accidentally stepping on it while she was chatting with others.
Finally, the bon bon near the group of international students would explode on an unsuspecting Felix Kolbeck (@Winnie Harper). Hopefully those that were affected wouldn't be too upset and attempt to find the culprit...
Arjan Oberoi (@Serena Towers) would attempt to figure out who had flung food his way.
Arjan observation check (1-25 success)
[d100 : 91]
Unfortunately, he would have no idea who sent that wonderful gift his way, unless they decided to announce themselves that is.
The culprit of the crime, Felix Kolbeck (@Winnie Harper), would find them and their accomplice hiding underneath the potluck table, and he would attempt to cast a fumos to hide themselves further.
Wisdom Check: [d20:7]+9=16, Success
His fumos was accurate, hopefully it would save them from the terror of an angry Durmstrang student.
Finally, much to the chagrin of the party planners and those that brought delicious treats, @Mathias Pride decided that the potluck table was to be no more.
Flipendo DC: 9
Wisdom Check: [d20:9]+5=14, Success
Of course, the table was filled with quite the variety of items that would now come crashing to the ground. From small berries and pastries... to skewers and an entire hotpot. Those that were closest to the table would find themselves drenched, and food would now begin to coat the floor, getting on the bottoms of dresses and coating guests shoes.
However, there would be three unfortunate souls, @Cain Corvus, Rett Montagne (@Levi Drakos) & Felix Kolbeck (@Winnie Harper), who got entirely drenched in soups, hot pots and meat skewers as the table came crashing down upon them.Do those hiding under the potluck get drenched in food?
[t!choose yes | no] - Yes
Champion Selection
The goblet was positioned in the center of room available for all to witness the champion section. The flickering flame, whipping snake-like within the goblet, emitting a hissing sound as the time drew closer. The paintings above faded into the darkness as the fireworks illuminated the hall and the sparks of the flames lit up the courtyard.
During the champion selection for the triwizard all those years ago, it had been the Headmaster of Hogwarts to announce the champions, but, one couldn't help but question if the recent Headmaster of Hogwarts suffering from a case of stage fright? Instead, the Ilvermorny Headmaster was allowed to announce the champions while presenting pride for his school.
It was important to note that changes had been made to the goblet after the disaster of the Triwizard Tournament. Adding one's name to the goblet was no longer a binding contract forcing one into the games, even if they put their name in themselves. After their name was announced, there would be a moment where one could refuse and turn down their entry, although that was something no one expected. Why would one turn down a chance for glory and fame?
Headmaster Plott of Ilvermorny would take his place directly next to the goblet, his hands clapping together quite loudly and a bright smile on his face. Clearly the students were otherwise engaged in their own antics, so he quickly pulled out his wand. Connecting wand to throat to magically enhance his voice, he began to speak, so those in the courtyard could hear as well. A space had also been made in the courtyard where statutes of the selected champions would arise was they were announced.
"Ladies! Gents! And all others! The time has come! Welcome to the official announcement of the Hexwizard Tournament Champions! The first school to be selected shall be that of our wonderful host's this evening, the magnificent Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Let the selection begin!"
The goblet continued to hiss. Flames flicked and twirled. All eyes would be on the goblet as a ripped piece of parchment emerged from the goblet engulfed in flames. Unraveling from the flames, the parchment drifted toward the ground. It was swiftly caught by Headmaster Plott, who cleared his throat, threw his cloak behind himself in an extravagant fashion, and read over the words.
"The champion of Hogwarts is... Howard White! And of course we can't forget, his special person is none other than Falentra Black!"
He would smile out at the crowd, clapping boisterously, perhaps unknowing or completely knowing of the possible drama that could be wrought by announcing the champions special person. Especially with this first 'special person.' Some who know Howard well would know that he is also becoming somewhat romantically interested in one Bloom Silverton... but she was not the name that he put down. Would this cause any immediate drama?
For White himself, there were already rumors in the past about the boy, such as that he bit someone, he was once aligned with a hag coven, and that he has been in perhaps a brawl or two, some of these rumors might resurface due to his being selected. No matter how hard you tried to change from your past, sometimes you just couldn't escape. The Goblet could recognize these efforts however, and many Hufflepuffs would know that the boy's actions help to save their house in the past.
A statue of White would shoot out of the ground in the courtyard, indicating to the students there that the first of the six champions had been chosen.
Continuing from this point on in alphabetical order, aside from saving his own school for last of course, next was the announcement for the Beauxbaton's Champion. He clapped his hands together to grab the attention of the excited students.
"Yes, yes, everyone, let us move on to our next champion, from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic!"
Once again, he turned to the goblet as another burned bit of parchment thundered upward from its depths, Plott yet again catching it quickly.
"The Champion of Beauxbatons is... Angélique de Clairmont! And her special companion is fellow Beauxbaton, Madeline Nakamura!"
He would yet again clap for the selected student, as they would surely be making themselves known. It would be hard not to when a second large statue matching your features exactly comes sprouting up in the courtyard outside. de Clairmont was already an accomplished Broom Racer, first to cross the finish line for the inter-school Broom Race held this past summer. This had to be a large part of the goblets selection, to be sure.
It was fairly well known that de Clairmont was a bit of a flirt, but was she really interested in any of them? Perhaps this was why she ended up selecting a friend instead of a potential significant other. However this wasn't the only rumor to traverse the school; despite her quite petite stature, it was rumored that she could bench press a dining table. Surely another good reason that de Clairmont would be selected for a shot at winning.
However not all rumors were good, as one stood out from the rest; her shot at becoming the next heir of the de Clairmont family had been denied, despite her being the eldest in her family line. It was typical to select the eldest, however in her case she was not pure-blooded, an unspoken requirement. Perhaps this was another reason the petite girl strived to prove herself in multiple facets?
With another champion announced, it was time to continue onward. He once again threw his cape behind him, turning to look at the goblet. Not a moment later, the fiery pits of the goblet shot a small piece of parchment out of its blue depths, and Plott grasped it quickly. Opening it, he read its contents, and then turned to announce them to his ever captive audience.
"Ladies! Gents! And all others! The champion for Durmstrang is...."
A moment of pause to build suspense.
"Yefim Rumyantsev! And his special little lady is Erin Ryan!"
A change of the tides. Was that correct? The Durmstrang student who never seemed to stop wreaking havoc on Hogwarts students had been chosen to represent Durmstrang? It appears so. A champion with a questionable special person.... how would the lad's closest friends respond to the announcement? His most trusted alliances who have been by his side for years and follow him into every bit of trouble that he pulls onto himself, would they still follow him now?
Mikael Halldorson and Valentin Schnell; the two known for being apart of a trio with Yefim. Schoolmates, Quidditch mates to Broom racing partners and now chaos bringers. The three really have seen quite a bit. Not all family is blood but does Yefim see them as more than muscle? He did choose Erin as his special person over them....
In the midst of the announcement, it seemed the food fight was still going on as a dark red pasta sauce was seen flying through the air along with sticky pudding.
Both found their mark. Covering the fabric of Yefim's clothes and tangling with his hair, the food created a sticky surface and a collage of food particles over him right as his name was announced. His statue in the courtyard would remain untouched... for now.
Headmaster Plott turned back toward the goblet, probably pondering who of his Ilvermorny students would be representing them, as the flames flicked and whipped around the goblet. But it was not time for his own alma mater yet.
Another parchment, burned on the edged was sputtered up from the flames. It was sent high into the air, nearly touching the firework illusion in the sky. Drifting down, Headmaster Plott reached up and gasped the parchment. He read it carefully as he once again brought his wand to his throat.
"And next! Students! Beings! And all others! Koldovstoretz! Your Champion is..."
As was typical, Plott paused yet again for dramatic effect.
"Rodion Makarovich! And his special lady belogs to Koldovstoretz as well! Anastasia Prokovdine!"
Who was this selected student from Koldovstoretz? Simply looking at him one could see ambition plastered upon his face, and he certainly seemed to get what he wanted. But... was there something deeper hidden behind his charming façade? Perhaps the rumor that he had been disowned by his own father was something the Koldovstoretz students would be muttering about the moment he was selected... or perhaps even the hints of a hidden sister.
Regardless, he was the one chosen to represent them, and a tall statue of greenery resembling Rodion Makarovich would emerge in the courtyard, although it was difficult to tell if that is Rodion or Nicholas McCowan.
They were now onto the fifth school, and Plott was hoping that this ceremony hadn't lost any of its luster yet. Perhaps trying to make up for this fact, he yet again flung his cape to the side and began to speak with even more bravado than usual.
"And now, for our next school, Mahoutokoro!"
The goblet sputtered for a moment, almost as if its mind had not yet been made. After a few moments of this, the Goblet quickly coughed up a piece of parchment, which Plott barely grasped.
"Their champion shall be... Mathias Pride! And his special lovely lady shall be..."
He scrunched his eyes to try and see from the partially burned parchment. For some odd reason, it appeared that the name for his special partner had been crossed out, but the area directly next to it had been burned, erasing any trace of a different selected person. Could this simply be an accident? In the wizarding world, one couldn't be too sure. Plott managed to make out the name after a moment, and quickly said,
"Winifred Harper!"
There was sure to be drama with this pairing, it seemed drama followed the boy crazy girl just about everywhere. Of course, the drama that was yet to unfold would be that of the name that Plott had just called out for Mathias's special partner. Anyone that was in the know on these sorts of things would know that Matt and Winnie were on a bit of a hiatus, heck she even came to the ball with someone other than Matt. Clearly Matt wasn't handling any of this well, as the Potluck table had just come crashing down around the ball goers moments before the announcement. Was he really the right choice to represent the school?
Headmaster Plott turned back toward the goblet. The one school he have been waiting for was finally about to be announced. Some would say save the best for last... some would.
Flames flick and hissed. Swirling a bit above the goblet before falling and revealing the final parchment floating gracefully to the headmaster's hand who snatched it and connected wand to throat.
"And finally! Girls! Boys! Non Binary! The one we have all waited for! The champion that will be representing Ilvermorny for the Hexwizard Tournament is...."
A final, overdramatic pause for tension...
"Miles Thatcher! Congratulations to him and his special, lovely lady; Olive Adair!"
A final statue will emerge in the courtyard. Miles will represent Ilvermorny and join the others in being a champion, but will the American bring glory to his school or will another achieve it for their own school? Thatcher and his partner were both from the soaring Thunderbird house, where those in it took any opportunity for adventure. The tournament was sure to be fraught with adventure... or would it end up being more danger? The boy certainly wouldn't be one to pass up danger, as he was involved in the ever popular sport of Quidditch. Would that be enough?
Six schools will be competing in the tournament this time and quite literally is anyone's to win.... It was at this time that those who were unwilling to continue would be able to speak out. Would anyone dare to refuse the goblets calling?
"If anyone is now unwilling or unable to enter, speak now or agree to the terms of the Tournament."

He thought he was safe but he should have known better, something told him he should have just stayed in his room and avoided this disaster like the last one. There was suddenly food and spells flying every which way and he did not know how to slow down the chaos or hand out detentions. His vision was further obscured by a sudden fumos spell from his accomplice. An exceedingly pretty girl joined them, kneeling nearby to steal Felix's attention.
"Oh, hello. It's nice to meet you-..." He trailed off before he could correct Felix on his actual name.
A stray exploding bon bon rolled past him and exploded near the blond punk right after he was introducing the young girl. It popped, startling him since he thought it was just some stray candy. "Maybe we should get out of here..." No sooner had he suggested it, the entire table was suddenly flipped towards them, food, plates and cookware cascading onto the floor around them. He couldn't think of anything else to do but stand and move to cover the new girl and Felix and take a majority of the food so it wouldn't hurt them. Touching his wand hadn't occurred to him since he hadn't perfected any of his spells yet.
Unfortunately for him, that meant most of what appeared to be a hot pot spilled over his back, scalding him through his robes. Cain hissed through his teeth and knelt down after the mess hit the floor. A stuffed lion half covered in soup clutched in his hand as he pushed down any urge to yell.
"...Are you two okay?" He peered at them to access the damage. "We... should definitely get out of here, maybe the medical tent would be safe." Definitely no other reason, like painfully burned skin. Nope. He was fine. Everything was fine.

@Kim Sato as Hiro
@Emma Wynn as Luca
@Haley RoseAs Luca and his date Haley introduced themselves, Bailey said hello to Luca as well as to Haley after she joined them. Luca had mentioned that he was going to go to the ball with Haley when they had met, and Bailey was glad they were together.
When Hiro mentioned the activities, Bailey thought about going over but decided to stay where she was. It had looked pretty fun, but she had had enough fun when she and James had gone out there to make flower crowns, one of which was still on her head. Adjusting it so that it was not crooked, Bailey heard Hiro ask Luca if he had been at Holi 2022- which Bailey knew he had. Bailey had been there too, and realized that was why Hiro looked so familiar.
Then she asked Hiro how many people he had met and he sighed, saying that it was harder with strangers. Understanding the feeling she said “Understandable. I can see why that is a problem.”
When he asked what a Cullen skink was, Bailey smiled and answered, saying “It is as a thick soup that was made up of smoked haddock, potatoes, and onions. It was really good- I ate a lot of it.”
Just as she finished saying this, the big crash happened and then Hiro almost fell onto her. He caught the person who fell on him and managed to stay on his feet, but Bailey still ent to check on his. During the crash an ever-bashing boomerang flew out of his pocket and was now rocketing around the room. Hiro said he wished he had put it in his satchel and Bailey replied, saying “True… but there isn’t much we can to to change what happened now. Are you sure you are ok?”Word count: 305 ish

He glanced back over at Bailey as the girl started to speak again.
Smoked haddock and potatoes?
"Oooo, that sounds delicious! Did you bring them? Or were they just somewhere on the table?" Hiro asked, curious. That sounded great and he wanted to taste it.
"Mm. I'm fine. I didn't fall into anything or anyone, so I should count myself lucky!" He told her with a smile. It was then that he heard a familiar voice nearby and Hiro grinned. "Hang on, let me introduce you to my friend, Aryaan!" He told her and rushed over to intercept his fellow Quidditch player and friend. "Aryaan! Hey! You finally got here! I want to introduce you to someone!" Hiro said and tried to drag him over.
If Aryaan allowed himself to be pulled, Hiro would introduce him to Bailey.
If he didn't, Hiro would motion for Bailey to come towards them. "This is Bailey. She's from Hogwarts. This is Aryaan, my friend and Quidditch teammate!" He said.
It was during this time that his boomerang swept around and Hiro quickly reached out to grab it and stuffed it into his suit pocket. "Pretend you didn't see that." The boy said with a blank expression. The last thing he wanted was for Aryaan to think he'd intentionally let his boomerang loose inside an enclosed area inside. It really hadn't been intentional on his part. But would anyone believe him? Come to think of it, where was Akira? Hiro hadn't seen him.

Sophia squeaked in surprise as Kim dragged her to who-knew-where. She normally would have loved this, since she loved assertive friends, but she hadn’t even had time to be mad at Kim for the teacup yet. She owed him a flick on the nose, at the very least.
She grabbed the skirt of her dress out of habit, trying to keep it from tripping her up despite it not quite being long enough. Her other hand was captured by Kim’s deceptively strong hand.
She tried to make conversation with the Gryffindor as he dragged her along, but he seemed intent on his target. So she talked to herself regarding the happenings in the ballroom.
“Those people are casting spe-“ she began, but before she could even finish the thought, her gaze shot all around the room at the small bursts of cocoa-based explosions. What?
“That was chocolate, wasn’t it?” She mused as Kim dragged her just fast enough that her short legs struggled to keep up. She watched the boomerang fly around the room and almost tripped, so she quickly turned her focus to where Kim was leading her.
When they stopped, her attention was drawn to a strange man she didn’t know announcing the participants of the tournament she’d forgotten about until this very night. She recognized a few names from Hogwarts, but most of the people announced were from the other schools. Still, apparently the tournament was a big deal, and Sage had said the last one didn’t go well. This could be a historic moment, and Sophia was here to witness it.
By the time he’d finished talking, Sophia turned her attention back to Kim and noticed he had written her name down next to his for one of the sign up sheets. She squinted at the sheet and paled when she noticed the description of the event.
Firewalking? What the heck?
She turned to Kim and reached a hand up, flicking him on the nose.
“That’s for the teacup.”
She flicked him again.
“And that’s for signing me up for this, you butt.”
She frowned and wondered if it was too late to scribble her name out, but it quickly became apparent that it was too late as the beginning of the games was announced.
Oh no.
Action: reacting to being signed up for masochistic foot mutilation by fire and making her way to the game location

She grabbed the skirt of her dress out of habit, trying to keep it from tripping her up despite it not quite being long enough. Her other hand was captured by Kim’s deceptively strong hand.
She tried to make conversation with the Gryffindor as he dragged her along, but he seemed intent on his target. So she talked to herself regarding the happenings in the ballroom.
“Those people are casting spe-“ she began, but before she could even finish the thought, her gaze shot all around the room at the small bursts of cocoa-based explosions. What?

Midspring Celebration
‿︵‿୨✿୧‿︵‿
Interacting With: @Mathias Pride | @Levi Drakos
Mentioning: @Jack Warren | @Dealla Prince
The table would topple, splattering the surrounding party-goers with the various selections of food the students had brought. The gown that Mathias had given her was destroyed (at least until she could cast several cleaning spells on it), stained with a rainbow of sauces, dips, and other offerings. Despite being drenched in food and likely blood, Winnie could only remain staring at Mathias.
"You already made up your mind, moved on so get on with your damned date with that."
The rage of being ignored, left for months on end, dumped publicly in what was basically the wizarding equivalent of a break up text. Merlin... Oh no... It was boiling over, enveloping her completely until there was no hope of escaping. Winnie Harper saw white. She stormed over the former Slytherin, if he didn't suffer the same fate as her, he was likely smeared in whatever substance Winnie bent down to pick up and smear all over that white suit while she edged him towards the nearest wall, give his shoulders a small push to emphasise each sentence. "No! NO! You don't get to talk like that. You don't get to be jealous or pretend that you still care about me. You left me. You didn't speak to me. FOR MONTHS, MATT. Then, you send a fecking howler, break up with me in front of the ENTIRE DAMN SCHOOL. Send one that makes out with Levi like the two of you are playing some sort of FECKIN' GAME with my heart. That and your stupid coded letter was the only clue you gave me. I followed Levi around to try and figure out what the HELL you were saying. But I couldn't figure it out, so I decided to go to the ball with him, get closer, and stuff just... It happened. Now you're standing here, getting pissed off at me for following that clue and going to Levi to try and figure shit out? Why the HELL are you surprised? WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME, MATT?"
She paused only to take in a much needed breath, her volume lowering for the next part, her voice still firm. "You need to decide what you want. I love you, you... absolute g-gobeshite!" She shouted her confession at the boy. Yes, she had insulted him while also proclaiming her love. What am absolute beautiful confession, surely their story belonged among the great love stories. "I can't keep trying to decipher your mixed messages. So you can decide tonight, because either you want me and we're together, or I..." A hand gestured towards the Great Hall's doorway, "I will walk through those doors, away from you, and maybe... I will move on."
Pushing herself backwards, she straightened her posture as she turned towards Levi. She was losing steam, so the glare she shot him was half-hearted, but she was obviously displeased at the Gryffindor. "A-As for you. If you don't actually like me... If you're just using me to mess with Matt, you can just save us both some time because... I can't deal with someone else who wants to lie and play games."
After making herself clear to the broken prince, she started to storm towards the doorway (unless stopped). Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her brother. She was about to go running to him when she paused. There by his side was Dee, looking dazzling as ever in her gown. If she ran up to Jack their night might be ruined, and as much as she wanted a hug from her brother, as much as she wanted to touch that bald head, she decided against it, opting to continue towards the doorway instead.
She could hear the announcing of the champions behind her, but didn't pause. She didn't recognise any of the champion's names until Mathias' was read. She paused at the door, mouth agape as her name was read along with his as his special person. Her panicked blue eyes swung towards Matt.

Midspring Celebration
Hiro Bakugo (@Kim Sato)
Mentioning: Mandy (@Simon Corbin)-----------------------------------
It seemed Hiro had came to a realization about having to change out of his ripped dress as he bid Pax and Adelaide a quick goodbye before hurrying off. Adelaide muttered a quick goodbye to him before turning back to Pax, "Yeah, he seems nice," she agreed, "I don't think I'd ever dye my hair any wild colors, but that may change in the future," she studied Pax for a few seconds before continuing, "I think you'd be able to pull off pink hair, or dyed hair in general,"
When Pax suggested that they move to the festival together, Adelaide nodded, "Sure, why not? I'd also love to meet your partner if she's there." Admittedly, the Ravenclaw wasn't all that interested in finding out the Champions, and she hadn't bothered to sign up for any of the games, so she didn't mind moving to the festival with Pax - what had she to lose? Plus, she had to admit that she was slightly interested in meeting Pax's partner, Mandy. So, she followed Pax to the festival.
Midspring Celebration
Clair's attention was pulled away from Edward as the American headmaster clapped his hands together.
"Oooh! Do try to keep your puking a little softer for a moment, if you can, I'd love to hear who the Hogwarts Champ is." She said, her voice half teasing. She watched as the first Champion was called,
And it was Hogwarts's Champion, Howard white. Had she met him before? She guessed no, but, nevertheless she would be cheering him on completely, a d most likely losing her voice the whole time that she would be shouting for the Hogwarts team. Clair clapped, happy for Mr. White.
And then the next Champion was announced, Madam de Clairmont, of Beauxbatons, Clair had never heard of her but that did not mean anything, Clair had heard of barely any students from other schools.
and even if she did not know the girl would would be The French School's Champion she clapped.
Yet again Clair had no idea who the Durmstrang Champion was, but she still clapped for them, as she did for all of them.
Once all the Champions were announced Clair looked at Edward, I think I'd like some fresh air, would you like to go to the courtyard? I think there are some things going on out there too."
She looked at him, the poor boy he had just been puking slugs, asked her a question, which she really hoped she had understood correctly, and now she was asking him to move, fresh air might be nice.
And she also wanted to see what the stuff ln her bottom half was, it had been sprayed on, and she was rather curious to see if she could eat it.

Cute chipmunk? "Um, thanks, but rude at the same time." She giggled a bit, then her voice quickly changed to worried as she whispered, "Don't tell them? Please? If you tell them I will die!"
"Safer, that's what. But okay, I'll trust you. Please go to my funeral if I get burnt to death or whatever." Even thinking about it made her heart race. Burning to death? An awful way to die. She had a list of all the ways she wanted to die and that wasn't on there.
"Sorry Trix, you-you pronounced "I am pretty" ...wrong." Mandy sputtered, even though it felt like someone gave her a surprise gift. Trix called her pretty! Was this a dream? She stared at Trix absentmindedly as she wondered, how did she meet a person so wonderful?
Mandy's heart jumped into her throat, Trix had said lots of good thing? Like what? Oh my gosh! She wanted to know, but she was so tongue-tied that she said, "What is good things?"
Okay. one, bad vibes. She didn't want to seem like a sad, miserable person. Two- that was the stupidest response ever. Gosh, where were her brains today? On vacation?
"Irish stew! Mmm! I would totally eat that." She said to the two girls. "Did you bring anything, Emma? I'd love to try it!" If she could fit any. And if it didn't have any lettuce or broccoli. And if it could be eaten with a tiny spoon. And if-
Mandy smiled at Trix and said, "I got her during winter break! There were so many other cats there, i couldn't choose. I settled with her, and I have no regrets." Mandy approached Trix and placed the cat in their lap. "Here! She's generally chill. Harmless. I can't wait for you to get your own cat, Trix!"
If Trix accepted the cat, Mei would turn in circles a few times before settling there for a minute or two.
As they sat at the table, Mandy kept her eyes on Trix. They were just so cute and perfect. So kind.
A crazy thought then occurred to Mandy, which made her heart beat a little faster. What if...maybe after the torch tag...if they were alive... Trix would want to dance with them?
Mandy smiled as she imagined it- just them, dancing, in their (probably charred) clothing. Like a Disney movie. But no kiss, probably. That was too much for Mandy right now.
But how would she ask them? What if Trix said no and everything was all messed up forever? Then Mandy would have to move away to Antartica and live with the penguins forever!
Mandy glanced down and saw her fingers shaking, and she clenched them nervously and tried to calm herself down with some deep breaths. She had time- first, the Flying Torch Tag. Then they would dance. Probably. Hopefully.
"My favourite? Honestly, can't choose. They're all so good! Yum!" Mandy wanted to grab more, but she was stuffed! Any more and she'd barf.
When Mei jumped off Trix's lap, Mandy approached her. "So, it's time to burn. I mean, GO. I meant go to the Flying Torch Tag. Heh." Mandy said like the moron she was. Carefully, she reached her hand out and whispered, "Can I...um, hold your hand? I'm a bit scared. Only a bit."
She then turned towards Emma and asked her, "Um, will we burn to death? Uh, asking for a friend." She giggled nervously.
If Trix accepted, they would soon find out that Mandy, was, in fact scared. Mandy would grab their hand and refuse to let go until they reached the Festival.
