Alice wasn't late. She wasn't.

The fifteen year old had just been checking all the wrong places for certain people (aka staring at the Mechanical Hippogriff, SHE wanted to right that thing). At the moment, though, she was wandering the street area aimlessly, still looking. Maybe he was at the food area. And if he wasn't.. well. Food was there, too. Win-win situation, yeah?

Was that her grandfather's booth over there?

Had Alice explained everything? That it was okay now? That he'd just been all emotionally overWHELMED and that he was sane again?

He was TORN now. Between COLIN MACKENZIE and feeling all.... awkward and abashed and like slinking away because of circumstances. Not that West was a slinker. He stood up straighter and looked at Mr. Clark. Oh. Something for Alice too? West was gonna ask that.

But in the mean time... West rummaged in his bag an came up with a sheet of parchment (with the Daily Prophet logo on the top) that had all the times of all the Magpies matches, training session, and press interviews over the summer printed neatly upon it. He held it out loosely for Colin Mackenzie to take. He figured it needed an explanation so he didn't look like a crazy stalker, and to prove he had the information for legitimate reasons.

"Could you sign this, sir? I've got this because I'm a Junior Quidditch Correspondent with the Daily Prophet this summer sir," AND A QUIDDITCH FANATIC. BUT NOT A STALKER. "And I play for Slytherin at Hogwarts." And they'd won the Quidditch Cup by a landslide and all the previous term.

Also.... he peeked at Mr. Clark, and sort of mumbled, "Sir, Um.... if... if one of you duplicated this," He couldn't because underage magic and all, "Then maybe Mr Mackenzie could sign one for Alice too." Proper memorabilia then see?

Was that his teams schedule on it? If it hadn’t been for the logo on it, this coach would have been a bit concerned about why and how he had gotten this information.

Shortly after the men handed over their things, Colin set them down on the table, took out his wand, and flicked it twice. The parchment the boy had given him doubled and a quill with magical ink perfect for signing just about anything appeared. Satisfied with his wand work, Colin started doing what he did best (besides all things Quidditch, of course). When he was done, he handed the tie and pieces of parchment back. “Here you go, boys!”

Photos!: West

Photos!: Sherman

Photos!: Alice

That kid.. interned? At the Daily Prophet? With his granddaughter? Funny, because Alice had incidentally forgotten to mention that, and Sherman did not need her spending MORE time with this boy than needed. And that topic would be revisited later, but he had to ignore it for now because.. because...

BECAUSE COLIN MACKENZIE WAS SIGNING HIS TIE. (!!!!!!!!)

Sherman didn't squeal, but if it was professional to make high-pitched, girlish noises, he would have been right then. "Thank you, sir! It was a pleasure meeting you." No, really. It was. He would treasure this experience for the rest of his elderly life, honest.

Beaaaam.

And.. and this day was only getting better, because..

Not that she was particularly drawn to the donation station, but she happened to spot it and, keeping up with her record with the charity events throughout the school year, went to give a few galleons.

"Hey Carter," she greeted the familiar face as she dropped her galleons into the jar.

"You're Eliana Stone. S-seeker for Pride of P-portree." ALL THE PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS AT HIS BOOTH. "Will you... will you sign my.. my... too.... I...?" Sherman nudged his already-signed-by-Colin-MacKenzie zoo tie at the redhead and smiled shyly. Would SHE sign it?

And then would CARTER, as well?

BEST. DAY. EVER. The birth of his granddaughter had been bumped to second.

Jingling the coins, he beamed over at his daughter before sticking alllllllll of it in one of the jars.

Yea, that sound was awesome. They all knew it too.

"Hello, sir! Thank you for your donation! Have a t-shirt!" Sherman was too HAPPY to say anything else, so he pushed one of the Hogwarts tees at the man and just beaaamed. Did he notice the players? Did he want their autographs, too?

He was probably the only one in the area who were making them sign a zoo tie, though.

So HAH.
