After the audience had gotten over Felix's award, Talon spoke over the loud cheers of the audience. "So you're probably wondering what could beat that, right? Well, I suppose this is the part on the list where I reveal Firefox's own super-celebrity. I'm not surprised at all, and you're - well, you voted him! - not either. This man has won two awards all on his own...and well earned!
I proudly present the Cleverest Ravenclaw and Most Original Character awards to...Head Boy Sparky Cobalt!"

Sparky had come to the award ceremony for one reason, and one reason only: to occupy himself. Well, he had also wanted to enjoy himself a tiny bit as well, so I guess that's not really one reason at all, no matter how definite I tried to make it sound. He'd wanted to distract himself from all of the crazy things that had happened to him (the least of which was the GAY, of course), and this sort of extravagant ceremony was just the thing he (probably) needed. After all, the winners were almost certain to come up with some sort of inspiring speech or two, accompanied with fireworks or something similar. He remembered fondly the firework-manticore that had launched itself into the feasting hall all those years ago, frightening new students and old alike. Ah, Hayzie Roberts... Where'd she gone, anyway?
That thought put aside, Sparky watched the ceremony from his usual aloof position in the not-front-but-not-back-either seat of his table. He clapped politely for this Ambiguous Panda person, and their rather... unique award. All through the ceremony he remained pretty neutral, clapping lightly for the Gryffindor boy as well. He was wondering who'd be winning Ravenclaw--Teagan, perhaps?--when he heard those terrible, terrible words.
"...the Cleverest Ravenclaw and Most Original Character awards to...Head Boy Sparky Cobalt!"
"What." His eyes were wide, and his hand slowly rose up to his mouth. The word had slipped out in his extreme amount of surprise. "Wh-wha... what is this... I don't even..."
He was completely--and literally--dumbfounded. Slowly, robotically, he walked up to where the good headmaster was, trying to remain as inconspicuous as possible as he felt eyes turn from everywhere around him onto him. Original Character? What the fuck did that mean? And... Cleverest Ravenclaw? He couldn't even brew a proper potion, while Teagan could out-curse probably anyone in the castle besides the Professors and the overpowered noobs here and there. Who did they think they were? Dante's Inferno?!
Ah well.
Shaking with nervousness and his face blushing hardcore, the poor Ravenclaw boy arrived at the Headmaster's feet. He accepted the awards from the blonde, older man. Quivering, he turned towards his audience, staring at his feet and struggling to make himself vocalize anything.
"I-I... Uh..."
He swallowed, half of his face hidden behind his hair as he looked directly at the ground. He felt completely underdressed, as he had panicked before the ceremony, worrying that if he dressed too well (his idea of 'too well' was clothes that haven't been worn to grayness yet) he would drag attention away from the winners and then he'd be so embarrassed and everyone would call him a jerk and snobby and he really wasn't he just thought it'd be good to wear clothes that were nice to a nice occasion but he shouldn't anymore because then everyone would hate him and so-
He had only dressed semi-well, as in, these clothes were on their way to being gray but were still a little darker than his worst clothes. He wore a zip-up hoodie and some regular jeans, along with a small outdoor cloak over it just in case it started snowing or raining or blooding or something you never know.
He spoke, cheeks red and eyes shut.
"Th-thank you v-very much and I um I will trytostaycleveriguessandoriginalandnotletyoudowneventhough" -he took a breath-
"eventhoughiprobablywillandohmygoodness I am s-so surprised and uh." His breathing was getting faster and faster.
He turned back towards the Headmaster, and bowed his head a small amount to him.
"Th-thank you Headmaster Windwaltz for making this possible."
And with that, the morbidly obese embarrassed boy ran, ran as fast as he could (which actually wasn't all that fast, plus he shuffles) out of the ceremony, struggling to breathe.
