I feel like I'm just finally getting this pro Quidditch lifestyle and schedule figured out, so I think I'm going to be able to be more consistent on that now." As in... at least sending an owl once a month or something.
Keefer chuckled. "Yeah, so I guess it's not all that lame, then, huh?" This pleased him. He'd thought that he would have the absolute worst costume there. Then again, there was a guy walking around in a dinosaur costume, so in hindsight he need not have worried. "I wish Lewis had made it up for this." He threw a glance at Kurumi. Maybe he'd ask her where that guy had gotten off to. Oh, but back to Treyen. "Oh right! Yeah, I love a good mystery!" And... "You could totally pull off the handlebar mustache and bubble-blowing pipe thing, dude." Because he was Treyen Lockhart and that was enough reason.
"Kurumi!" He flashed her a big smile before asking, "Where's my man Lewis?" Then he flashed her an apologetic smile. Obviously they weren't attached at the hip or anything, but... Lewis was definitely his closer friend. She would understand that, though. "I'm doing well! Loving playing for Montrose!" With an eye roll, he continued. "Except it's making me realize how atrociously horrid I was at Keeping when I was at Hogwarts. I had terrible form.." Aaaaand she didn't care, probably. She'd had that incident awhile back and was sort of afraid of flying, right? Then, with a knowing twinkle in his eye, he broached the topic he knew she'd want to hear about. "But it doesn't leave me much time for a social life, unfortunately. This is the first time I've really hung out with anyone outside the team for quite a long time." From that statement he hoped she would infer that he wasn't exactly seeing a lot of Kate. Because... he'd rather not have to say it ALOUD.
"Ah, yeah, I know. Sorry about that. But I hear that Mancini kid was pretty good, too! Hadley's nephew or something, right?" He tried to pull the dusty facts from the back of his brain. It'd been awhile since he had met up with the crew on that Hogsmeade weekend and asked about it. "Anyways, this past season has made me realize how actually rotten I was back in school. Yeah, the training is so much more intense than at Hogwarts." But that was to be expected, after all. Then he remembered something. "But you won the Cup last year! Congrats!" And that also sort of meant... "So you'll have no problem getting on this year. I've seen you play, Ells. Any Captain would be CRAZY cut you." And he wasn't just being nice. It was TRUE.
Smiling, he nodded at her recognition. That had been a fun night. "I can't believe you still call him 'Sir' after all this time!" Not that there was anything wrong with that, but it was just endearing. There were many things about Ella that were endearing.
A look of surprise appeared on his face but then passed quickly. "Aww, sorry to hear that! Hopefully it's all sorted out now." The family stuff, that is. "I'd hate to miss the first bit of school. You'd have to just start in the middle of lessons and miss a bunch of stuff." So everyone else would've gotten all the summer cobwebs out and be in full throttle while you're stuck trying to tread water. Not ideal. "But I bet you were a stellar announcer. You're pretty knowledgeable about the game, at least. More than I can say for a few other announcers I've heard in my day." Like the one for Pride of Portree last season. Ridiculously bad. "But that's a good thing. Always nice to have a backup plan!"
"New with me? Eh, not much. Still playing for Montrose. But no, there's not any love news, Min." He winked at her. Minerva always had been a bit too interested in his love life for Keefer's liking.
Minerva shrugged, "It was no big deal. I jumped right back into classes. You know me.. When it comes to books and classes I blend in well." It wasn't unknown she was a bit on the nerdish side when it came to classes. She was over trying to pretend she wasn't. As for the family things, "Yes, I think finally after a few years I can say the family things are sorted out. I am living with my muggle grandparents now, which has been a good change."
Minerva's eyes brightened talking about announcing, "Oh it was fun, Professor Vindictius wanted me to pull in the stands with the game. So some didn't like hearing their names or who they were coupled with on the mic, but it was for the entertainment. They got over it..." Minerva shrugged it off and laughed, it was so much fun and she didn't mind doing it again if she didn't make the team. Shaking her head she smiled, "Well one of these days there will be something new in that love life of yours.."Someone as cute as him would not be single long, Minerva knew he avoided it in school, but it wasn't going to last much longer she was sure. SPOILER!!: Ethan Quote:

Seemed like there was quite a few alumni here and they were unfamiliar. He was just about to head in towards the auction area when he caught sight of someone walking towards him.
Chuckling as she spoke, Ethan tilted his head to take in her appearance. "Min.. is that you?" Of course it was.. just took him a second to recognize her. "Thanks," he said with a grin. "I like yours too.. Who's your character? I'm not sure I'm familiar with her.." Cute though. Mariel had been a bit hesitant to step back into the corridors of Hogwarts. It had been a number of years since she graced the castle with her presence and she was certain she'd feel out of place in a school full of new people. But when she heard of the fundraiser to help rebuild one of her favorite spots at school, she knew she had to go. Shaking off the slight apprehension, the brunette stepped into the library dressed as one of her favorite childhood literary figures, Mary Poppins.
Not willing to spare any of her own books, Mariel deposited the galleons at the table and took a cursory glance around the room. Quite a few people there already.. and she wasn't really surprised to not see anyone that she recognized.. though she had sort of hoped deep down that one of her old school friends might have made an appearance. She spotted her nephew and his girlfriend, and gave them a nod and smile as she walked past, looking for someone her own age to mingle with. They had their own friends anyway.
The young woman started to walk into the auction area when her green eyes landed on a head of blonde hair that was all at once very familiar. Was it..? Yes, she thought, as she slowly grinned. She'd recognize that shock of blonde anywhere. "Nia?" she called to the other woman as she slightly pulled up on her swishy skirt to rush over to her. "Nia Newtington! Is that really you?"
Minerva smiled and did a little twirl for Ethan to take in her costume, "It's Judy B. Jones, one of my favorite characters as a child. She is always into things and getting into trouble. I always secretly wanted to be able to do that kind of stuff, but I was never one that liked being in trouble." Looking around, "There are so many people here. This is great for the library." She still couldn't believe she missed the fire last term, but it was for the best that she didn't know. "So are you having fun? You look cute by the way."
Then looking around she noticed someone, "Is that your cousin over there?" She had only met her once over the summer, but she couldn't be wrong and it might not be the same person, since everyone was dressed up, could be a mistake.
