[GH] End of Term Feast

[Faye Vedette]

Faye had calmly been eating her peas up until now. She had done her best to ignore the students at the very back of the hall, their shouts hurtling about among mashed potatoes, pasta and desserts. The other teachers too seemed determine to enjoy their last decent meal for the next two months instead of deal with the truants ahead of them.

"I suppose I'll sort this out, shall I?" Faye asked with an amused smile. The other teachers pretended they hadn't heard. "Someone owes me a drink for this..." she said, standing up and moving around the table.

Making her way down between the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff table, Faye flicked her robes back and withdrew her white wand. Mentally she muttered a spell, and all the flying food abruptly stopped in mid air for a moment before landing down upon the tables and floor, and the heads of a few unlucky students.

[Henry Boggleworth]

Boggleworth had been pushing the Ravenclaws back and had been nearing the cup itself, when Vedette interupted. He turned and grimaced at her, then cheekily threw a small clump of mash towards her then began to whistle looking up at the enchanted ceiling which had turned stormy, just what might happen now he thought.

[Lisa Lycott]

Lisa froze with shock at the same time the food did, and the room quited down. She, unfortunately, had suffered a pumpkin pastry to the head, and the gooey substance was slowly dripping down her forehead and ears.

The room was deathly quiet still, until Boggles, that brave soul, decided to include the professor in the small food fight. She gaped, her eyebrows raised as she waited to see what the professor would do.

[Faye Vedette]

Faye gave a small scream as the food pelted towards her, and she ducked just in time, the slimmy concotion passing over her head sharply. "Boggleworth!" Faye snapped indignantly, but then began to laugh. "An eagle or a wolf you wish to be?" she smiled. "I think a squirrel would suit you better, boy!" she waved her wand smoothly, a loud crack filling the Hall.

Students began to laugh and scream as Boggleworth suddenly transfigured into a fat grey squirrel. "Try your antics now." she placed her hands on her hips, smirking.

[Henry Boggleworth]

Boggleworth sniggered as he became a squirrel trust Vedette he thought but I'll show her. Boggleworth now a squirrel obviously felt slightly intimidated by all the big folk around him, he ran underneath a table as a Ravenclaw tried to stamp on him. He then proceeded to scramble up the Ravenclaw's legs to bite his ear, jumping off and landing in a chocolate gateau of all things, Boggleworth continued to race towards the professor. Grabbing some nuts in his tiny claws, he stuffed them into his cheeks then creeping up on Vedette he then sprayed her with nuts firing them with some considerable skill from his mouth.
wow it's kinda cool being a squirrel and I love the tail

[Faye Vedette]

Faye screeched once more, throwing her arms up across her face to ward off the nuts. Oh, trust Boggleworth! she thought frantically to herself.

Quickly she darted away from Boggleworth's line of fire. "Perhaps I should make you less able!" she laughed, aiming her wand at the chocolate covered squirrel. She shouted a spell, and Boggleworth was suddenly flying through the air towards the enchanted ceiling. "Bets on where he lands?" she asked the other students with a raised eyebrow, feeling triumphant.

[Henry Boggleworth]

Boggleworth flew up high into the air but at least he had a head for heights now, luckily for him there was an ancient chandelier/candleholder which he managed to grab hold of and with a sqirrel's agility he scarpered away and began to proceed back down to the ground. This is kinda cool he thought. He was too fast for any to use any spells on him though.
He felt exhilaration flow through his body as he capered around jumping from student to student back towards Vedette, wondering what she would do next.

[Faye Vedette]

Faye's face was deadly serious, but it was only an image. She was laughing happily on the inside. She had not expected the feast to be this eventful. Swiftly she fired mild spells at the scampering rodent, but by the time they reached, he had already escaped their line of fire. Biting her lip, Faye considered what would be most fun. Send food after him? Produce a hungry eagle to chase him? Faye did not want to hurt him...

Raising her wand, Faye aimed her spell a little ahead of Boggleworth's tracks. "I see you are no good as a squirrel either!" she called sternly. Waving her wand, there was another loud crack, and Boggleworth was suddenly stopped in his tracks as a rather slow badger.

[Henry Boggleworth]

Here we go again he thought well at least I still look like a Hufflepuff He stumbled around but then remembered that badgers could be vicious so he charged at Vedette I can always blame it on the badger instincts. so the badger charged at Vedette with it's claws raised.

[Prof. Rainer Freundschaft]

"We have a lot catching up to do, don't we?" Rainer asks quietly as he watches Vedette pass in to the crowd of celebrating students. He prods his food distractedly and, the wards in his skin flickering at how close Erich is, returns his gaze to the length of the hall. Rainer nods his head sudden and fevered reply, completely oblivious to Boggleworth's transformation in to a squirrel or the disturbances that always seem to follow. "But Erich, won't you show me what it is that you have found in the forest?" A long pause. "So that's what's been keeping your attention all along." Rainer smiles to himself; it has proved to be a very long year.

But we have all the time in the world now, Erich answers coolly from where he sits beside the professor. The hall brims with sensation and he can taste each dish, hear each poorly timed joke, feel each longing glance on the back of his own neck. This is always how it seems to go? Hadn't it always been just the same when they were both children, sitting side by side at party after party? Then time happens and it thins out the crowds but new students, new children always seem to find their way back and it goes on. One long conversation, one enduring celebration. You don't have to be scared anymore, mein liebling. The hours and years will lie down for us. We have all the time in the world. And for the first time in a long time, Rainer can hear him say so.

[Girty Hubbles]

As Professor Vedette took charge of the situation Girty picked bits of food out of her ears. She was giggling no stop as she looked at the sate of herself and of Grace.
We walked over to grace and in her reaming mash potato hair wrote her name.
"What a master piece." she laughed and stepped back to admire her work.

[Faye Vedette]

Faye raised her eyebrows at Boggleworth. "I think this has gone on long enough if I am to be bitten..." she said to herself. She waved her wand sharply, and Boggleworth was once again a human student. The Hufflepuff skidded to a hault before Faye, on his hands and knees no less. "You don't have to grovel, dear. I forgive you." she said with a wink.

Stepping over him, Faye began to make her way back towards the teacher's table. She gave a suspicious glance at Rainer, who seemed to be in debate with himself. She had not yet spoken to the man, but she had heard stories about him...

[Helia Ollivander]

After chuckling at the Boggleworth transformations for awhile she turned back to the table. She thoguht about how difficult it might be to get her robes cleaned, and how she quite enjoyed this new Professor Vedette... but then something caught her eye. She looked up at the staff table... there was definatly something fishy going on. Was professsor Freundschaft talking to himself? His lips were definatly moving... but there was no one else at the table talking back to him. 'Grr, if only I were closer, I might be able to read his lips.' she thought about changing her seating arrangment, but after reading some of the newspaper clippings she was slihgtly scared of the professor. She'd just have to deal for now. It was the end of the school year, she'd have all summer to conspire. For now she just needed to let it go.

[Henry Boggleworth]

"We'll get back to the fight then!" laughed Boggleworth though he missed being the squirrel, he had felt quite alive even more than usual amazingly. "And thanks for that Miss!" he called sincerely, he then turned back to his 'troops'.
"come on then lads, that trophy is waiting!" but he found them more reluctant than before so he trotted over to gather more troops from the hufflepuff table.

[Prof Grace Marks]

Grace giggled at Girty and began fingering the mash, gravy, veggies, baked beans, and spaghetti out of her hair. "I've had enough of throwing food, I just want to eat it!" She smiled at Girty and sat down again looking up and down the table for something that had not been handled.
