Wiz, Wiz, Wiz!!!

[alt_ron]

Whoa.

They totally raised the stands! That was like climbing up to Gryffindor Tower and then doing it again right away.

How tall do you think the hedges are?

It must have taken loads of spells to get them to grow that high.

[alt_ron]

Yeah, I reckon that's true. Do you think Professor Sprout did it? Or did they bring in other herbologists so there wouldn't be any advantage to Hogwarts?

Funny none of us saw what they were doing out here, either. I heard they put up charms that kept us from looking this way or noticing anything if we did look.

[alt_pansy]

I knew they were doing something with the Quidditch pitch, but I didn't know what. It looks brilliant!

It'll look so plain once it goes back to normal.

Did one of the paths just shift? I think I saw it moving.

[alt_ron]

Yeah. Look! There goes another. Right after Harry passed that spot. The others are going to have to find another way.

[alt_ron]

Oh. That was smart.

Look. Harry's using Point Me. He must have a plan about how to get to the center. He's trying a Northwest path, yeah?

[alt_pansy]

Did you see the Dementor?

Ooooh.

[alt_sally_anne]

They have DEMENTORS in there?

[alt_pansy]

No, it isn't one -- the patronus didn't work.

[alt_padma]

It's a BOGGART!

[alt_ron]

Oooh. Yes!

Ridikkulus!!!

[alt_neville]

So that's what Marvolo's Boggart is? Huh.

I wonder what Diggory's is. Or Krum's.

[alt_padma]

HOW CAN YOU WONDER ABOUT BOGGARTS AT A TIME LIKE THIS?

[alt_gredforge]

We're betting Delacour's is a mirror telling her that she has a spot on her nose.

[alt_sally_anne]

What was that noise? Can you see from the Gryffindor part of the stands? The bang?

[alt_ron]

Yeah.

Diggory just got the hot end of one of those Skrewt things. You know, the Blast-Enders?

Doesn't look good.

[alt_sally_anne]

Ouch.

[alt_zacharias]

Oi, Ced's fine! He's back on his feet. Look at the floating screens.

[alt_ron]

Do you think Delacourt even has a plan? She's just running until she comes to a block and then running another way.

[alt_padma]

The best way to get through a maze is to always turn in one direction, like keep the wall on your right hand.

Of course, it doesn't work when the walls move.

OOH!

Dragon!

[alt_pansy]

It's not a real one. It can't be.

[alt_padma]

It's on the left over near where the Hufflepuff stands usually are.

And yeah. Looks like it's an illusion? But


WHOA! That was real fire, though!

[alt_pansy]

Do you think he got burned? He's holding his arm like he has.

[alt_luna]

I suppose they don't allow the candidates to go under the hedges. Or over. It would be really easy if you were allowed to bring your broom. But then there wouldn't be much point, would there?
