Justin exploded two tacos before finally setting the heating charm on his food properly. He was normally well versed in those charms, having been using them loads during his travels, but he was rushing and could never get that last flick of the wand right when he was in a hurry.

He didn't have a basket, so he flipped an old stool upside down and transfigured it. He had no use for the stool, anyway, since it was about three seconds away from collapsing into firewood.

Checking his watch, purely out of habit since it had been broken for years, he swept up his basket and sprinted out the door. He didn't need a functional timepiece to know that he was late.

Having the slightest suspicion that he forgot something, he apparated directly to the pitch anyway and his eyes widened at the sight. He had no idea that the villagers of Stoatshead had the means to make such a beautiful course. It was already crowded, proof to Justin that he was indeed late and probably shouldn't have overslept. He accidently bumped several people on the way to the pitch.

The race was already starting overhead. Justin jogged over to where everyone else had there baskets and set his own down, thankful to be rid of the weight and berating himself for not charming it lighter. He looked at everyone's bonnets and suddenly remembered what he had forgotten.

"Bollocks," Justin grumbled. He had nothing to substitute for a bonnet and wasn't too keen in transfiguring anything else, so he just removed one of his shoes and slung it up.

Well. Let the games begin.
