This was excellent news! "High praise! An' I'm glad ter hear it! I's my favori' spot as well, actually." Besides his own home, obviously. Because... that went without saying. "Bu' listen, I better ge' in there. Have t' find out when i's my turn ter be auctioned and all that." With a genuine smile this time, he walked past the table and into the madness.
Oh no, here comes Cece.
There wasn't much use trying to hide. She'd already spotted him. His plan had failed miserably. "An' why not? I'm jus' observin' people." Or hiding from them. Same thing. What does my outfit have to do with where I stand? Others are wearing far more ridiculous things. Like that dinosaur over there, for instance.
His brain went sort of fuzzy and a touch of color came to his cheeks. That... was not what he was expecting to hear. In another time he may have enjoyed the comment, but now... after Ruby and Ciaran... Things were different. "Well... tha's.. Tha's nice of yeh ter say, Cece." And he should make this message very clear. "Bu' I'm no' really lookin' fer that sort of attention righ' now."
His eyes searched the room for some excuse to leave this conversation. "Erm.. I need ter... go ask when 'm up fer auctioning. Have ter be ready, yeh know." With a polite nod, he ran moved past her and off as far away as possible to the other side of the room.

He smiled and hugged his former teammate right back. "Yeah, of course I am! Couldn't pass up an opportunity to help out my old school, right?" Along with other perks. "Plus I get to see cool people like you, so it's definitely worth the price of admission." And considering he played Quidditch professionally, it wasn't that hard on his Gringotts account, either. "And I'm doing great! Training hard, you know. Yourself?"
"Thanks! It's actually the same one I wore to the Boofire a few terms back, remember?" May as well be honest about it, right? "And yours is pretty cool as well!"
Then he was being hugged from behind. He had expected this. Many of his former players were still here. Plus they're in Hufflepuff, so they hug. "I've been good, Min! Training hard, just like usual. You still on the team?" She had mentioned something about being the announcer way back wehn, but he didn't know if she had followed through with that. "Yeah, definitely! I'd love to hear from you!"
"Where have I been? Where have YOU been, man?" Keefer said, thumping his favorite Chaser-Keeper-Seeker on the back. Looking down, he chuckled. "Yeah, I couldn't resist. Still fits, so why not?" Many of his compatriots couldn't say that about clothes they'd worn in school. "I'm just saying I'm one of the three musketeers." Because that was the only thing that fit, really. Eyeing Treyen, he said, "And who are YOU supposed to be, exactly?"
Minerva laughed, she always seemed to be able to surprise him with her hugs from behind. Maybe she should stop doing that, but what fun would that be. No she wouldn't stop.
"Well that's awesome, glad your doing so well." Oh the team, yeah that had been a hard one this term.
"Well last term I didn't play on the team. Because of family things I didn't get to school until late and missed tryouts. So I became the announcer and it was so much fun. This term I am going out for the team, but there are so many great players, that I just don't know." Shrugging a bit, she smiled,
"If I don't make it I can always announce again, no biggie." She wasn't to worried, either way she would have fun.
"Anyway, what's new with you? Any big career or love news." Of course she would ask her former
crush captain these questions, Minerva was always wanting to know everything.

She laced their fingers together when he took her hand.
........ don't kill him?
........................ she gave him a suspicious look but turned her attention to Kyroh.
"Come on Spiderman, you can choose which paddle we use." And SHE would find out why Dash was worried about possible death.
Minerva was talking and having a good time when something stopped her dead in her tracks. She looked blankly at the two adults not really caring if they saw her or not at the moment. She was shocked... YES SHOCKED at what she saw. Maybe she just was shocked because she didn't want to believe it, no she had saw something wrong. That was it.. W-R-O-N-G... Looking again she saw the hand holding and felt sick. What on earth could Professor Shirmer see in
him.. No personality.. seemed so full of himself and then there was the kid.. WHAT A MINUTE.. that wasn't her kid, no she didn't have a kid with...him. That couldn't be right, she had been in Professor Shirmer's office a few times, there had been no pictures of kids, right. It had been a few years ago, but Min felt she would have remembered that.
She knew that she was just a kid and had no say in any of this and it was none of her business, but she just couldn't stop looking and watching them leave the room. She looked up to Professor Shirmer and this, well this was like a kid being told that candy will make their teeth go bad, or that their favorite story characters weren't actually real. Minerva stood there even after they left trying to make sense of what a smart, nice, great person saw in him.. She really just couldn't figure it out. That wasn't her reasoning for coming back and being part of the board was it? No.. no she would never do that.. Minerva had so many questions, but could she actually be allowed to ask them, probably not..
