After being forced to play that silly grindylow game, Zaire got away from the booth with the creepy carnie as quickly as he could. He was contemplating just leaving the carnival all together when he came upon a booth on the other end with the sign above it saying "Boggart Hunt". Now that sounded interesting... He didn't see anyone at the booth as he approached. Were people to afraid the booth out? He sure wasn't. He found himself interested in knowing if they were actually using real boggarts or not and if that was why there was no one at the booth. He looked up at the carnie expectantly, watching as they approached. They told him the token price and he was satisfied that this carnie wasn't nearly as creepy as the previous one. He reached into his pocket, gave the carnie three tokens and walked up closer to the counter. Holding his wand at the ready and brow lowering in concentration, he waited for something to happen and just before the first target popped up, the carnie told him that he needed to use Aguamenti to fight the boggarts. He raised an eyebrow and the target popped up a few feet away. Great. More toys.

Following the apple bob game, Scorpius was prepared for the more magical kinds of games. His nostalgia for muggle carnivals had been satiated for the time being, though that could change at any moment if he came up on another game or ride that he remembered from his childhood experiences. The stand he was at now though was completely unique to the magical world though. Boggart Hunt. Shoot targets shaped like boggarts with augamenti. That was simple enough. Scorpius always enjoyed having a go at blasting targets away. Tossing his coins at the carnie, Scorpius pulled his wand from his pocket and prepared for the go ahead to start hitting the targets.

Zita was feeling just as excited as she had been the first time she arrived at the carnival. She was ready to win more tickets with the coins she had been given when she entered today. She would save riding any rides for later when she met up with a few of her friends because she always thought riding rides was fun when you were with someone. So now she was stalking the games area to figure out when game she wanted to try first. She was feeling lucky but she wasn't feeling lucky enough to try something where she didn't have any control over the odds. She spotted the Boggart Hunt game and knew that it would be a perfect start to her ticket roll. There was a few people in line but she didn't think it would take too long for them to get through their games. She waiting patiently and moved with the line while she watched the other carnival motions around her. When it was finally her turn, she approached the ledge and handed over her tokens to the kind carnie running the game. She readied her wand, her focus immediate just like before a game of quidditch started and once the bell rang signalling the targets, she shot off her spells to hit the targets.

Apparently, throwing pies at someone else’s face was extremely therapeutic, because after finishing at the booth where she got to throw pumpkin pasties at people, Georgie felt tremendously better. Of course, no amount of flung pastries could cure the fact that her mother had left again, but Georgie was trying her best not to think about that particular reality. Of course, it just so happened that she was walking by a game that involved shooting boggarts (Georgie’s boggart being, of course, someone leaving her). It wasn’t really the same, since the boggart couldn’t, and wouldn’t, take the form of her greatest fear, but Georgie was hoping that playing some more games would help her in the way throwing pasties had. She was told to shoot Aguamenti at the targets, and Georgie rolled her eyes. She had expected this to be fun, not like another class at school! She had already given over her tokens, though, so she was going to do her best to hit as many of the shapeless blobs as she could.

Royal had already done quite a bit of damage – to himself and to various items at the carnival – but his destructive streak was still running strong, which meant that he needed something to hit. Sadly, it seemed like most of the games that involved hitting had disappeared into the labyrinth that was the carnival, so Royal was left looking for substitutes. Luckily enough for him, there was a game that allowed him use his wand… to shoot fake boggarts? Well, it wasn’t something that he would have thought of himself, but Royal was itching for something to do, so he didn’t complain about the fake boggarts… much. Mostly he was just confused as to why the carnival thought it was a good idea to remind people of their greatest fear when they were trying to have fun. Then again, they did let clowns wander around unhindered, and to some people, that was about as bad as it was going to get. Royal levelled his wand at the various targets, and waited for a signal before continuing.

Destruction was calling Lily Potter's name. She had already tossed food at a carnie, and now she was on to the next game. This one though was just as fun, though a little more tame than the last. Blasting boggarts with augamenti? Easy. Except that there was a giant line for it, for whatever reason. Did people really harbor that many negative emotions towards these dudes? It was pretty easy to get rid of them. Or maybe that was just her. Laughing her pants off at everything held secret benefits sometimes, and knocking out pesky boggarts hiding in her wardrobe with a couple solid chuckles was one of her favorite past times. They needed to learn to lay off.

After a few minutes of waiting, the line finally moved forward, albeit slowly. She would get there eventually. Her fingers were twitching to blast water at the targets. This was the kind of energy that she needed to blow off every day to become something of a functioning human being. Usually running around the grounds a few times sufficed. And then it was her turn! Wand out, Lily fired away wildly.

Zita had had a relatively easy going day today, she'd gotten some homework done so to relax she'd thought she'd go out to the carnival to have a bit of fun and try to rack up on more tickets. So with the complementary tokens they'd given her at the gate she was wandering around the carnival for the Boggart Hung game in particular. She'd had a bit of success the last time she'd played it wanted to see if she could get more tickets from it. She'd already proven she was good at it, she just needed a repeat performance. That is if she could find the darn booth. After too many minutes of stalking she finally came upon the game and luckily enough the line wasn't too long so soon enough her turn came up. She handed the carnie her tokens before she readied her wand. With a deep breath, the bell sounded and the fake boggarts appeared.

Liona was standing in line waiting to play of the games she'd passed that had captured her interest. The Boggart Hunt game had a decent enough line but she'd been curious to see what the interest in the game was because the line had been long when she'd first seen it. Clearly carnival goers had deemed it worthy. She didn't expect the boggarts to be real, of course, that would just be idiotic and negligent with so many kids wanding around but she wanted to try the game for herself and see if she could find any enjoyment in it. The line was moving a bit slow and she was successfully maintaining her patience as she looked around the rest of the carnival to see what she would do next. She hadn't ridden many rides so she would try that out after she played. Soon the line grew shorter and shorter until it was her turn. She approached the booth, held up her wand to take aim and soon the bell went off. The boggarts popped up and she had to keep her laughter to herself at how phony the boggarts looked. She shouldn't have expected anything better. Having them look realistic may have frightened the children.
