Despite their invigilator's tone Elladora's spirits were not to be dampened. She had spent much of the winter tinkering with potions in the blessed peace of Grimmauld Place and this year she had been quite eager to enter the competition: it was also the sort of event that Ursula would not be caught dead at so she was without heckling from the gallery.
A wit-sharpening potion was relatively straightforward and she was done rather quicker than she had anticipated, though she was not the first, and she took the opportunity to glance around the rest of the room to see the efforts of others. It seemed she was in for tough competition.
