Pyotr was a bundle of nerves, and wanted to just get it overwith already.

Draven had spent the previous night feverishly going over his plan and also the Bubblehead charm he planned to use for the journey under the lake. He also had some hexes he thought he could use if there was anything dangerous under there which might attack him.

Some way or another, Wendy managed to track Draven down. "Hullo, there. You ready for this next thing?" she asked, trying to contain her typical bouncing and mostly succeeding with a visible effort. She knew her hyperactive personality tended to grate on Draven's nerves, so she was attempting to tone it down some.

Pyotr would have appreciated some company, and wondered where Faina was... poor boy didn't realize she'd been taken.

"I'm ready enough. I have to go to the lake in five minutes, so I had better be," Draven replied. He was wondering where Dulce was, as he hadn't seen her at all that day.

"I'll be rooting for you... good luck, though I'm sure you won't need it," she said brightly... while still trying to contain herself. She was tugging at her hair -long, dark blue, and wavy in honor of today's event- in an effort to keep from bobbing about.

"Thanks," Draven said, somewhat surprised; a lot of the Gryffindors were still holding back on supporting him, along with some of the other houses. He walked over to the lake and joined the other Champions.

Professor Dippet began to tell the Champions what their task was; namely, they had one hour to swim to the bottom of the lake and recover what was precious to them. To do this, they could use any charm, potion, herb or spell they desired.

Pyotr had more or less figured this out, thanks to the egg, and was spending his time calming himself, preparing himself.

"You will be given points according to how quickly you perform your task," Professor Dippet said.

"Also, points will be added or deducted depending on your performance completing the task. Professor Jaska, who can speak Mermish, will question the Merfolk as to how each of you did underneath the lake after the task is completed. Failure to complete the task will result in a considerable point deduction.

"Now, if you're ready, you may start."

Pyotr did his transfig spell, a very difficult thing, and very impressive. There was only one thing the undermined the visual success of his spell; the type of dolphin Pyotr had transformed into was, in fact, baby pink.

But of course, Pyotr's eyesight was in black and white int his form, and he didn't really think on appearances; he just dove down deep into the lake, knowing he had plenty of time before his breath ran out.

[Miranda_]

There was a burst of laughter from the spectators as they saw Pyotr transform into a pink dolphin.

Draven didn't bother looking to see what the other competitors were doing; he simply performed the Bubblehead charm, which would enable him to breathe underwater, along with another charm to keep himself warm within the icy waters. Once he was ready, he dived into the lake. It was murky underneath; we'eds floated past, with the bottom obscured by more.
