 Liviana neared the seventh hoop, and found it to be somehow vertically brimming with splashing water. When she drew near, the water shot out and drenched her. Freezing, Liviana said through chattering teeth, "Evanesco!" The water disappeared, as though drained from the hoop. Liviana flew through, and then pointed her wand at her self, murmuring, "Siccaro". Instantly, warm air dried her sopping clothes, and she went off to the next hoop, less cold than she had been previously.

Once again i started casting two more incantations, under my breath, on the remaining hoops that have not been passed through.
One incantation caused a couple of hoops to:
- Become Invisible. The students would have to use a spell to find out where the next hoop is because it has turned itself invisible. (Bedazzling Hex)
Another incantation caused the other hoops to:
- Violently shake the broom. (Once you near the hoop by a meter your broom begins shaking violently purposely trying to throw you off.)

Liviana neared the eighth hoop, one which seemed perfectly normal. However, as she attempted to go through it, her broom gave a sudden lurch, and then behaved as though it had a mind of its own. Holding on for dear life did not seem to work either, for Liviana was knocked clear off, and held onto the shaft with one hand. Gasping, she cried "Finite Incantatum," and waved her other hand, which held her wand. As though having gone through an exorcism, the broom abruptly came to a stop in the air. Liviana climbed back on and shot through the hoop, before another thing could go wrong. She was still shaken as she moved onto the next ring.

Antoinette Machiavelli— Slytherin ; First Year The fifth hoop's interior had shining, though translucent threads.But Antoinette didn't notice. Her eyes were on Scowling-Senior, once again. She's so fast! I wonder what kind of broom she has. Even though there's no way it could be better than mine. She noticed the fifth hoop was coming up and aligned herself within it's center. She turned her head to glance at Scowling-Senior once more when something slimy encompassed her entire body and broom. Then she was ricocheted back brusquely, almost back to the fourth hoop. She stooped before doing so, and sped back towards the fifth hoop. Now that she took a closer look, she saw...spider webs!? Antoinette glanced back down at Professor Kaydot, thinking that he was an evil jackknob. After glaring at him for a few minutes, she pointed her wand at the web-infested hoop and shouted, "Scourgify!" The webs disappeared, and Antoinette quickly flew through the now-clean hoop, cursing Professor Kaydot under her breath.

Antoinette Machiavelli— Slytherin ; First Year Antoinette started to feel irritated. She wasn't catching up with Scowling-Senior, and there was a lot of hoops left to go through, all of which with some sort of irritating trick. She tried to speed up, thus making her chest nearly touch the broom, and then actually sped through the sixth hoop. But she was completely and utterly soaking wet when she came out on the other side. She stopped to look back at the hoop, but saw nothing. She guessed that the hoop would shoot water if someone went through it. She didn't know what spell to use to dry her clothes, irritating her even further. Antoinette just assumed her clothes and more importantly, her hair, would be somewhat dry by the time she finished this, being on a broom with tons of wind and all.

Liviana nimbly moved on to her ninth- wait, where was it? She looked all around, but she could only see eleven of the twelve hoops. 'That can't be right,' she thought. Realizing the hoop must have been hidden, she waved her wand at nothing in particular, crying "Specialis Revelio," hoping the spell would produce the next hoop. Sure enough, the hoop appeared within a few feet of Liviana's broom. She flew through it, and onto the final three hoops!

Liviana's tenth hoop was enormous. It was so huge that she could comfortably fly through it if she wanted. 'And yet,' she thought, 'there had to be a reason why this hoop is here.' She pondered for a brief moment, as she had left many of the other competitors behind, even the young Slytherin who was now likely to freeze to death before completing the task.
Liviana aimed her wand at the giant hoop and said, "Reducio." The hoop changed to a perfectly Liviana-sized ring, and she quickly darted through it. "I suppose this is like that muggle fairy tale about Goldilocks and the Three Bears. It has to be just right to count," she said bemusedly. She sped off to her last couple of hoops.

Antoinette Machiavelli— Slytherin ; First Year Antoinette steadily flew up to the seventh hoop, the winter's cold and the wetness of her clothes were not complementing each other. But she wasn't going to let a little cold, or ruined perm, hinder her. She looked up at the oncoming seventh hoop. Nothing noticeable, again. Antoinette let out an exaggerated groan. She purposefully attempted to fly through it, but was ricocheted, but unlike before. this time it was a gust of wind. A cold gust of wind. Damn you, Kaydot. She pointed her wand at the hoop, and lazily uttered, "Finite." The second time she attempted to go through there was no gust of wind. She bobbed her head in approval of herself and slowly made her way to the eighth hoop.

Meiko noticed that the 6th hoop was sort of missing. It's a good thing that she pointed her wand in different directions and casted the dillusionment charm, which revealed the 6th hoop, located at her right. She said to herself in glee as she passed through the hoop. "Okay, now for the next ones..."
Meiko increased in her speed in flight towards the 7th hoop, but as she was about 10 meters from it, the hoop started to shriek very loudly and irritatingly at her. Meiko almost fell as she was distracted by the awful screaming of the hoop. She gripped on her wand and broom tightly, and said out loud, with her wand pointing at the hoop. "SIlencio!"
The horrible shrieking stopped and Meiko successfully got through the hoop.

Meiko saw that the 8th hoop was covered of cobwebs, so she pointed her wand at it and incanted. "Incendio~"
Meiko used the flame to make a hole in the cobweb, a hole big enough for her to pass through. She successfully passed through the hole and sped up to the next.
The 9th hoop was somewhat weird, for it was moving away. making it hard for Meiko to go through it. She tried a few times to go through it, but it was no use for as she got near it, the hoop hops away from her. She decided to point her wand at it and said. "Petrificus Totalus!"
The hoop stayed very still, for it was petrified. Meiko grinned a she successfully got in the hoop, and quickly flew to where the last hoop was located.

Finally it was the last hoop, Meiko was nervous but kept her cool as she flew towards it. As it was 1 meter away from it, she was startled as her broom started to like trying to shake her off. The broom was wildly flying in circles, succeeding in making her hang helplessly in her broom. Meiko almost teared out, but she got the courage to bring her wand out and said, pointing at the hoop with a shaking hand. "Finite Incantatum~"
The broom was instantly tamed again, and she immediately pulled her self up and sat back onto her broom. She grinned as she swiftly got through the last hoop.
"I-I actually did it..." she said to herself in a surprised tone a she hovered her way down onto the green grass.

Antoinette Machiavelli— Slytherin ; First Year [ Kay, so. I'm just gonna finish up before the New Year.
If I don't, then for the rest of 2o11, I'll be a procrastinator. > A<; ]
The eighth hoop was coming up, and was too small for Antoinette. An easy one. She deemed brashly, with a brash grin to go along. She pointed her hand, and shouted, "Engorgio!" The hoop enlarged way beyond what Antoinette anticipated, but she paid that no mind. She eagerly flew through it, in spite of the heaviness she was beginning to feel in her head.

Antoinette Machiavelli— Slytherin ; First Year The ninth hoop had blue birds circling it. They were there for a reason, she deducted, they'll attack her if she attempts to go through. Oh, how helpful it'd be if she had knew any of the multitude of Shielding spells. But, no. She didn't know any. So instead of blaming the only one at fault, herself, she mentally reproached the Professors of Hogwarts. She decided she would have to stun all of the birds. Of course this would slow her down, and let many others get ahead of her. After stopping, shouting "Stupefy!" thirteen times, she was able to get through the hoop. Her eyebrows were furrowed the most eyebrows could furrow, because of extreme irritation. Her head was getting heavier, and now she was sniffling. This did not pacify Antoinette at all.

Antoinette Machiavelli— Slytherin ; First Year Antoinette's body was starting to ache. She was beginning to get sick, but she shook her head at the realisation, as if shaking her head would make it go away. In fact, it made her feel worse. But she was so close, to victory. But was it really worth it? She thought of Scowling-Senior, and the face she would make when Antoinette won. Though, Antoinette's mind took it too far and imagined Scowling-Senior on her knees, tears in her eyes which were looking up at Antoinette in fear. This thought made Antoinette grin wickedly (though it was impossible it'd be true any time soon.) The tenth hoop had nothing noticeably wrong, like some hoops before it. Thinking the last of the hoops were be easiest, she tried to fly through it. But her broom started shaking, fiercely, before she could get through the hoop. Her grip was loosening, and in an attempt to stay on her broom, wrapped one arm fully around the broom and placed her hand on the tip; making her hug her broom. She used her free arm to hold her wand at the ring, and shouted, "Finite!" Her broom stopped shaking, and the broom dropped a little. Antoinette was slightly counting on the shaking of the broom to control it, not her herself, and her concentration slipped. Still aching, the vigorous shake her broom gave her did not help, she slowly proceeded to the eleventh hoop.
