Samuel took everything in with several swift looks around. and he was getting a bit angry. He felt Kurt move to be beside him, and the two of them already were prepared. It was not just because of the two Fourth Year Sytherins, but also because of the Sixth year who was whispering to his bunch of cohorts. It was obvious to a number of people that he was stirring up the typical purist mentality that he "by virtue of who he was" that he shouldn't have to compete with others for a position that "should be his by birthright", and It didn't surprise him that a number of other older Sytherin Upperclassmen, with a cluster of those from other Houses who were strangely silent while others were giving verbal retorts of disgust. He didn't miss Alice and her friends dealing with the two Fourth years and it was something that seemed to be coordinated. He got Alice's attention with a gesture, letting her and her friends know they were coming. He also saw Holly Johnson move closer to them, and he overheard what she said. He didn't think it was going to be the end of it, and he spoke to Lorelai with subdued tones and knew she would realize that he was upset as he was must upset when he was subdued like that.
"That is what she is upset about, but that is just part of it. Things are getting very interesting indeed, and we need may need to deal with this now.. both of them."
Sam also saw Nicko moving closer, and he over heard what the First Year male student said. He already liked Nicko, and he could tell he was putting it in a calm but firm manner to the two Creepers. He slowly moved, wondering how much of a problem both spots of interest were going to be as he got closer to where Alice, Ashley, Riku, Katy, Nicko, and Renee were and hoping Lori was with Kurt as he had figured she would be for the moment. He exchanged a look with the judges, letting them know that he hoped their interference would not be needed, but willing to accept it if needed.

Ashely and Renee were both very pleased that others were noticing what was going on, but Nicko and also Professor Holly Johnson had come closer to find out what was going on. Renee didn't want to be the center of attention she had somehow become, and that made her angry as she just wanted to be competing. The two of them relaxed a little, but Renee didn't have a problem with answering the two males Fourth Years.
"Actually, I am merely acknowledging that I am Bellatrix LeStrange's daughter, gentlemen. I am not accepting that I am an heir to anything, as I am my own person. I thank you for your greeting, as I intend to display my own presence here.. not as a herald of someone who has passed on."
Renee put it that way, knowing that everyone who heard how she spoke would understand more about her. She was not seeking the attention she was getting, and she was going to do what she could to avoid that at any cost. She was happy to be at the Uni and to have friends, but she was no one's legacy no matter who her natural parents were.
Ashley smiled, knowing that Alice and Riku most likely could see it. Ashley was pleased with Renee going for the jugular on the matter of who she was, and what she was there for. Renee was there to be her own self, her own woman, and just keeping a name meant nothing. She smiled and nodded to Nicko, very appreciative of his coming to help Renee and the rest of them. She gave Katy an encouraging look and smile, apologizing that he had to come over there. They were not wanting attention on that level they were getting it, and she also looked in Samson's direction with regret. The older male had been showing his magical abilities to others to most likely ease the tensions of the wait on participating in competition and now... well, now this was going on.
Renee smiled at Riku and Alice, wanting the both of them at east like Ashley was at the moment. She looked back to the two Slytherins, waiting on what they had to say to her, Riku, Nicko, AND one of the Professors who already made her presence felt with her inquiry to them.

"Yes, Donovan, we will be keeping our eyes on them... as it is far too convenient they would pick this time for what they are doing. Especially with us debating a possible disqualification on the grounds of poor sportsmanship."
The Sixth year was really laying the purist stuff on thick, McAlistair getting a bit more upset as he did. Dorian was a persistent irritant, and not in the way they had hoped he would be. The Headmistress had told him they had hoped that like sand in the oyster, he would be come a pearl of studious behavior. He was someone that, despite all efforts, was turning into what many fear. He was a leader of the group of young students who were a completely transparent revival of the Death Eaters. James already had his own wand ready, as he was ready for what was needed.
"Be ready, Donovan.. as we may need to help our Prefects tonight."
"Actually, we are not causing any trouble, at least I don't think welcoming someone who has an obvious fate of destiny was a problem?"
The one of the two who had not spoken was speaking to Holly, being polite as the other responded to Nicko, and Renee in that order. His words were very calm and direct, but it could be sensed what he was meaning with everything he said.
"No disrespect is meant, young Mr. Dominique, as we are just expressing our desire and hope to show Ms. LeStrange all of the benefits of having acquaintances that know how to fully appreciate all of who she is."
He smiled a very broad grin, not caring those words could be interpreted in either a sexual or purist way. He didn't correct on that, as he stole a look at Dorian who then turned to the judges, his own words meant to really draw attention to himself.
"Now when are our esteemed judges going to pronounce me the winner of this round... or are they going to admit this is a sham of a competition?"
Dorian waited, hoping that what they were wanting was going to happen now.
