The redhead couldn't help herself, she laughed, "Hello Ella," not being able to help herself she tagged on, "What ARE you doing, might I ask?" Because this was just awkward.
So Ms. Head Girl was laughing at her...and she looked uncomfortable too. WHOOPS! Ella scuffed her toe and smiled sheepishly.
"I...erm sorry! I just didn't think you were a hugger so erm...hence the arm pat." Shuffle.
"I take it that wasn't good either, yeah?" From now on the blonde was going to assume the older girl was more of a look but don't touch type of person. ..Yeah.
”Oh um…and really great season, by the way. You’re a really scary beater.” Oh Merlin, that didn’t exactly sound like a compliment, did it? >.<
”I meant that in the best way, y’know.” Just saying.
SPOILER!!: Kurumi and Airey!

She still wasn't entirely sure it had been the right decision to come - seeing certain things just felt like rubbing salt in the wound - but she needed to just desensitize herself. He already had. "You were great out there today."
And then Kurumi saw the cupcakes on the table and bit down hard on her lower lip. Pull yourself together, Hollingberry.
"Lewis sends his regards, by the way, to all of you. He couldn't make it again because he is busy working." Lewis had been working a lot recently, taking on extra hours. Kurumi had told him that he was working too hard, but he said he needed to save for something important.
Oh look! There was Messer! He got a big wave as well.
*****************
Airey attention turned to the two Hufflepuff Chasers who were insulting his suit in their own subliminal way. Raising en eyebrow, and not noticing that he had a bit of cupcake frosting stuck to his cheek, he eyed the two curiously before Miss Ella spoke. "Thank you, Miss Ella," he grinned while tugging on his jacket a bit.
Well, someone was excited to have won. "Yes, Mr. Yarborough, I did see. Perhaps you should consider a career in Quidditch after Hogwarts?" Because he would love to be able to go to a match and point to a student on the pitch and say that they were once his student. He would feel much better about that sort of thing than he did about astronauts he trained.
He never dreamed of becoming a Quidditch player after all.
And yes, the Professor Space Man received a small chuckle before his attention was drawn elsewhere. Really? Miss Wisteria was subtly insulting his suit as well? Hmph. Weren't Miss Wisteria and Mr. Yarborough were a pair of badger party poopers.
Pair. Heh.
"Yellow does tend to be a bright and warm color," he said with a small wink. "Not the warmest when it comes to stars, however."
Really? Couldn't the man leave the astronomy talk at the door? This was a Quidditch celebration man!
"I always enjoy watching Quidditch, Miss Potter," he exclaimed while grinning from ear to ear. "But I must admit it is more exciting watching these sort of matches since you are all my students. You all seem to take on a completely different persona while on the pitch." Fascinating to watch really.
Oh! Look over there! The Hufflepuff captain and the little Seeker boy. Fresh cupcake in hand, Airey began to walk towards the captain first. "Miss Dixon, congratulations on a well played season and a well trained team," he said with a grin and a quick pat on her shoulder before moving on.
"Mr. Summers!" he man!chirped while ruffling the boy's hair. "Well played! Well played indeed! I don't know too many that can fly like an eagle and not be one." Heh, did the boy get the joke? He was a Hufflepuff after all and sometimes he was unsure of how much wit they could understand. So the boy received some more hair ruffling for good measure. "I'm really glad you're here, Kurumi!" BEAM!
"It's been so long and we missed you around here!" Just saying. And no, not just because of the delicious cookies though Ella missed those too.
"Don't worry, I'm doing my best to keep the yearbook going and erm...hopefully I'm making you proud." And Kurumi thought she'd done a good job today?
"That's um...well I didn't...erm thanks! The team played really well together."
And no Sir Lewis today? FROWN.
"Will you tell him I said hi?" And that his hair and abs were lovely?
...
Airey
"You're welcome, Sir. I appreciate the color choice." Being a Hufflepuff and all. Grin! "Oh and Sir? Erm..." And Ella wiggled her finger for him to come a bit closer and then whispered,
"You've got a bit of frosting on your cheek. Just there." Point. Helpful Ella was helpful.
SPOILER!!: Lex

She kept the grin even as her eyes drifted further down the table. "All this food. I might not have room for my candy!" The thought was supposed to be sad but then she saw all these cupcakes and it suddenly didn't seem as sad anymore. "But look at all this neat stuff! I won't need the candy to get a sugar rush! Have you tried the cupcakes as yet?"
They. Were. Amazing!
"Really, the edge of your seat?" GRIN! That's what Ella liked to hear. She liked to imagine the people watching really enjoying the match. Close ones were the best kind to watch, yeah?
No room for candy?! BLINK.
"I'm sure you'll manage, Lex. You're a candy eating pro practically." And if that was a job, she was sure Alexa would be like the Head of that company.
"Haven't tried the cupcakes yet but I'm definitely going to. I'm starvingggg!" Quidditch would do that to a girl, y'know.
SPOILER!!: Minnie!

Yes, she really didn't miss the bruises and broken bones from being hit by the bludger, but she had missed playing or even announcing. She had to remember to get back into that next term.
"Hey Min!" Grin!
"Oh I'm alright. A bit sore but I guess that's normal, yeah?" Getting hit by a bludger was never exactly a pleasant experience.
"Thanks for checking, though." BEAM!
"Yeah, bludgers aren't the nicest thing but the keep the game...interesting, I guess." Well, as long as they stayed FARRRRR away from Alec. Mhm. Then they were good.
SPOILER!!: Mika and Kaiden!
[QUOTE=McFeisty;11332285][COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"]
Mika glanced up to Ella after the hug thing happened and just raised her eyebrow a bit. Was that a smirk? Oh goodness that made her take a moment to work on her face. Ya know - not be all pink faced would be a good idea. She skrewed up her face a bit and glanced over to Ella as it she knew something was
different.
She was glad that Ella appreciated her caring about her.
"Well seriously if you feel worse tomorrow just let me know...maybe owl me and I'll grab Tilstorm for you if needed." She offered and was glad really her face was no longer hot.
She gave Ella a little sly look as she brought up food.
"thank you" she whispered to Ella and smiled a bit more.
"Food does sound good" she admitted with a laugh.

Yeah I didn’t eat so much this morning, so I yeah, starving.” Nod, Nod, Nod. “We should… Go get some food.” Grabbing hold of both Miks’ and Keeper Lady’s wrists, he pulled them towards the FOOD!!! ”Come on!
Mika…her hair was…did she know it was a bit different now? Ella just sort of raised her eyebrows at her friend and tugged at her own hair, trying to point things out to Mika without making a scene. Stealth, remember?
”Thanks Mika, I’ll keep you posted. I think I’ll be just fine after some rest…and maybe some food.” Preferably a lot of food, the delicious kind mostly.
As for Kaiden, he seemed to only have just noticed she was standing there. Heh. Someone was distracted by someone else and this made Ella smile.
”I didn’t eat much this morning either…nerves and such.” But he was right, they should eat now. Mika seemed to like the idea too and Ella shrugged and smiled when the blonde thanked her.
You’re Welcome she mouthed in reply when Kaiden was looking away.
But…Kaiden kind of ruined the whole talking about Mika thing when he started dragging
both of them towards the food table. Okay…she’d have to speak to him later then?
Wait…did Mika say Alec? ^___^
SPOILER!!: Alec!

And there were quite a few people here already. BLINK.
Alec peeked into the tent and looked around, his eyebrows raising slightly. There had to be food here, right? It was the only way in which so many students could have made it here so early. Or had they been early? He... didn't exactly know since he had spent a good amount of time by himself just... thinking and mentally preparing himself and making sure his hair was ruffled perfectly.
The fifteen year old cleared his throat quietly before moving away from the edge of the tent entrance. Right. He was just going to go in there and... head for the food first. Because Quidditch and not eating very much beforehand thanks to nerves sort of made you ten times hungrier afterwards. Plus, he didn't think any of the Ravenclaws wanted to speak to him at the current time. Maybe later. As for the Hufflepuffs... would they want to be hugged again? Now that they weren't sweaty and as hurt as before?
And the other two teams... yeah... they wouldn't mind getting hugs as well, right? All was good, yeah?
...
Shrugging, the Hufflepuff ruffled his hair again before walking over towards the food tables. A grin started to spread itself across the boy's face as he neared closer and closer towards the table. Cupcakes! And biscuits! AND CANDY! Perfect! The boy grabbed up a yellow cupcake and bit into it.
Nom nom nom...
Boyfriend! BEAM!
Ella let Kaiden drag them over to the table as Alec was already standing there and the blonde just sort of smiled sheepishly at the hair ruffler. Was it too soon for more hugs or?
“Hey Alec!” Grin! Oh and she’d need her hand back now, thank you very much. Removing it gently from Kaiden’s grasp, the fifteen year old smiled at her housemate and then walked over to her boyfriend and nudged him in the arm.
”Cool party, yeah? The food looks nice.” Oh and he did too, in case he didn’t know.
”I really like your shirt.” Nod. It suited him.
“Erm so…how you feeling, seeker?” Because he looked…nervous for some reason? Or maybe that was just the overly ruffled hair…
SPOILER!!: Belle!

As she made her way towards the tent, she noticed it was packed already. Belle saw Alec over by the cupcake table. Typical Alec.....XD. Belle went over and ruffled his hair. "Congrats you little rugrat." she even bear hugged him.
Then Belle went to go find the captain. Once Belle found her, she realized she was being crowded already. She tapped her shoulder. "Congrats Nessie on the win. Good work with your team." she smiled and hugged her.
Belle also went to find Ella. She had to congratulate her too. Belle looked around and tried to find her and the rest of the teammates.
Belle? Ella spotted the older girl looking around and waved at her.
“Hey there!” BEAM!
“How are you, Belle? Did you see the match? It was a really great game, yeah?” Bounce.Bounce.Bounce. Could she tell Ella was a bit excited?
SPOILER!!: Kat!

Obviously, because the Snake Captain is like inseparable from the Lion Head Girl. Plus the two houses sort of just clicked and stuff, because Kat liked some of them namely Alice and Penelope and of course, her pseudo!sister.
Great game. All Quidditch matches were great, generally speaking. Who didn't like Quidditch anyway? That would be... awful. Kat did not want to know who did and did not like the magical sport. Nope, no thanks. "Yeah, it was great," she nodded. "Both the seekers were... really good too." Alec though. That kid was just pure fast and... there wasn't even an appropriate adjective to describe him. The Ravenclaw seeker was good too, able to take a snitch from Alec. It counted as something right?
So uhm. To continue the conversation... "You still playing Quidditch for next term?" she asked. Kind of like a 'you're trying out again right?' thing. Cos Kat was, and she wouldn't want to miss it anyway. But then again, who would?
........
Kat didn't forget to congratulate the Puffers you know. She was such a good sport and she wouldn't want to be thought as someone so bitter about losing the Quidditch cup. The Gobstones cup, Slytherin could have it. At least they got a cup for themselves, right? There's always a bright side to everything. SNORT.
"Congrats on the win, Hufflepuff!" the Slytherin said to no one in particular, but the crowd would surely know who she addressed that to. The Puffers Quidditch team, duuuuuh. Though her friends would get a special congrats... only if they knew her and she knew them too. For reasons.
And then Ella heard someone calling out congratulations and the blonde stood on her tiptoes, spotting Kat.
“Thanks Kat!” BEAM!
“You guys played brilliantly this term as well, y’know.” And she’d cheered for the blonde on multiple occasions. Ella wasn’t as good as Kat keeper-wise but she was working on it and it was definitely something to strive towards.
SPOILER!!: Violet!

It was sort of an almost, "HA WHAT NOW?!" moment that she wished she could scream, but alas being raised as proper & polite young woman, she knew better.
...But it doesn't mean she wasn't thinking it...
..But anyways..
Now here she was, entering the Tent for Celebrating Hufflepuff's win once again! Dressed in a soft yellow collar dress, with flowers adorned in her hair. She couldn't help but feel happier than she had been in the past couple of months. And this celebration was just as thrilling to her as it was last term when she was actually on the team. For she felt like this was a last gift to her emotionally to see her House come out on top once more! But sadly, this did mean that the term was practically over & Violet would going on to better things. It was all still trying to settle in Violet's frantic mind. She was excited for this new adventure, but scared to enter this new world. Happy that she could be pursuing her dream, but sad to leave this happy life at Hogwarts behind her. But she still had a little time before that all would change..
Violet looked around the big tent seeing all of the bright happy faces of her fellow housemates and her other classmates. She smiled at each of them as she walked by them. But she was really searching out the select number of people in her mind. Sadly she wasn't seeing them right away, so she figured she would go and have a little snack before she ventured around the tent to find them.
As she was on her way towards the area where the cupcakes were being served, she had caught sight of Milton Shacklebolt throwing something at someone. She winced her eyes briefly to see what it was being thrown, and suddenly her eyes then widened a little bit when she figured out it was a cookie being thrown. She gasped and shook her head disappointingly and thought to herself how utterly rude to do such a thing. But she decided today was not the day to scold anyone, for this was a day for CELEBRATION!
And this would all happen...as soon as she had a cupcake! Which she didn't take long at all to bite into once she had her hands on one.
VIOLET!
BEAM!
It was Ella's Hufflepuff big sister and she couldn't be happier to see the older girl. The little blonde's lips curved into a smile and she quickly headed over to the older badger, wrapping her up in a hug.
"VI!" GRIN!
"You're here!"
