This is a spectator thread for the Hogwarts Race: Hufflepuff v Gryffindor
This was the last of the Hogwarts races, the Hogwarts interhouse races occupied the morning. Following this race, the international races would start. However, these early morning races were of great import to the other schools. The school that houses 'monsters' and dared to call half-breeds true wizards. A danger to civilized wizarding society. A risk to their very way of life. It was true that every school wanted to win, but more than nobody wanted to see Hogwarts win.
House pride marked the stadium in the morning hours but the racers were also subjects of international observation. Solomon Lear, the Headmaster of Hogwarts was making a rare public appearance. Since his mildly publicized 'absence' a few years ago he has kept to himself and out of the public view. The impending Hexwizard tournament had thrust Hogwarts into the limelight yet again. Hogwarts has been the subject of poor press over the past few years for their inclusion of certain 'questionable' wizards such as dhampirs and lycanthropes, alleged 'dangers' to the community. Their successful matriculation meant that one day other schools might follow suit and the 'safety' and 'purity' of wizard schooling and the wizarding community at large might change in coming years. Something was going to need to be done to stop it.
It was early in the day still, the first Hogwarts race had been completed, after this the international games would start. This was the third race of the academic year for Hogwarts, they had allegedly gotten to a 'late' start. The day was hot, it was like sitting in a steam bath just a lot less pleasant. There was previously the question of potential precipitation but the clouds were thinning and only the humidity remained. The spectators were finding ways to cool themselves, the they would not escape the sticky nature of the late morning heat.
