There was the wasp again, the Spanish girl beamed and waved at him before heading to a table of players.

"Hola!" in her excitement she forgot to use English and rambled about autographs and pictures and how she loved quidditch. Things that the player probably couldn't even understand, but she bounced and looked eagerly up at him.


Jorge was more than thrilled to see his older sister and his seven year old niece had come to surprise his fiance at her big event. It was the sweetest thing and now he was being pulled around by a seven year old that had him wrapped around her little finger since the day she was born. Jorge hadn't been one that let women walk all over him, but this one, she could do no wrong.

So as they moved into a tent and went up to the first player she saw he chuckled, "Hello, I'm sorry, my niece doesn't speak much English, but she is super excited. Could you sign an autograph for her and a picture possibly?" This could be a good reason to get a quote for the article as well, "I work for the Daily Prophet, wouldn't want to give me a quote about how the days been going would you?" He needed to keep work even if his focus ed moved to fun with Isa.



After seeing their first Professional player and trying to find the best place for a bouncing seven year old, he moved on to the next table. The best part of not really having a favorite team, you could get all the autographs. His niece wanted as many as possible. She was just like her mother, loved the sport, and he was terrified with that. Watching his older sister get injured was enough, but if he had to watch her play one day he would. Once it was their turn in line he gave the man a smile. "Hello, my niece would like a picture and autograph with you. She doesn't speak much English, but she is so excited to see everything and meet all the players." He grinned down at Isa who was bouncing beside him.

Isa's eyes were going all over the place as they waited in the line. She was bouncing trying to see around the adults in front of her. This was an awesome team. She liked the colors and the players looked super friendly. The man had a bat, could she touch it? Looking up at her Uncle she rambled about positions, and teams back home. Then her brown eyes searched the area. "Auntie Mariel?" Was she going to hang with them? Not the she understood that her soon to be Aunt was busy running the entire event. Smiling brightly at the man she listened to words that she could only half understand. "Picture.. please."
"Always working.." Mariel grinned as she walked up behind Jorge, hearing his words to one of the Portree Chasers (Arthur). She wasn't surprised really, in her eyes this was a great opportunity to get an exclusive or some sort of story out of the event. Though she knew he had already planned on doing a follow-up article anyway. And she did appreciate it, especially knowing that this wasn't his typical kind of writing. Making her rounds through the area again to ensure things were running smoothly here as well, she was glad to have caught up to her fiance and his niece again. "I wondered where you two had run off to.. having a good time?" She beamed over at Isa, watching her ramble in Spanish to the players. Mariel had figured their running off had been most likely her doing in her excitement which was just adorable to watch. Even sweeter was watching her uncle tend to her.

As they moved to the Puddlemere table, she smiled softly as she watched Jorge explain to Robert what Isa wanted. "I could take a few pictures if you'd like," she said, reaching for the camera from her bag. "We already have a few good ones of Sting, don't we?" she chuckled, grinning at Isa before giving Jorge a little wink. Things were running smoothly as far as she could see, perhaps she could hang out with them for a little while. Oh and how sweet.. Isa not only got a demonstration but was going to get to hold the bat in the picture as well. "Ready?" she asked as she held up the camera.


SPOILER!!: Min and Chloe, Ella, Alec, Wade

Chloe was being a great baby just looking around and sleeping. She was way to young to even realize things were going on, but she knew the colors and images would give her some simulation. After stopping to feed her and get the rest of the family food and Gunnar a few cookies they made there way into the autograph tents. It was so busy, but she had a certain table she wanted to see.

Her eyes scanning the area and following the alphabet down she found the Tornado's. Smiling she bent towards the stroller, "Gunnar look it's Uncle Alec." There were so many fans near them she wasn't sure if they would get a good chance to see him or not. Spotting Wade as well she got excited to see her friends and of course get a picture with them and the kids. Staying in line and waiting until their turn she grinned once they were at the table. "Hello, I've been a really big fan of you both, honestly I've followed you since you were both Hufflepuff. I was really hoping to get your autograph and maybe a picture with my children." Did she sound like a crazy fan? She was at least trying to in case they hadn't looked up yet to know it was her. She chuckled and then noticed Ella, "Hi Ella." She glanced at Ethan with a big smile. Did he know how much fun she was having? It was a much needed day with her family and seeing old friends.

... "Minnie! Ethan!" GRIN. This was GREAT! Like a little reunion. "You've been a really great support, you know. Even at Hogwarts." Like a pseudo-older sister should be. Nodnod. "How are you two, by the way? Everything okay?" Because he still remembered the accident and he didn't like it one bit.

And did she say CHILDREN?! "Hey Chloe! Hey Gunnar! How's it going?" Of course pictures were going to happen but... could he possibly give them hugs too? Favourite Uncle perks?
Gunnar finished up the last of his cookie as he was being pushed into a place with lots of people, blue eyes taking them all in. Mommy had already taken Chloe out of the stroller, he wanted out too. And as soon as the stroller came to a stop, the 16 month old reached his body forward, trying to climb out. It did not make him very happy that he was strapped in and his efforts were rather futile. "Ahh.. AHHH!" he whined in protest until Mommy bent down and was talking. His eyes locked on to hers for a moment, then he craned his neck to try to see who she was talking to next.

First there was a lady (Ella) waving at him and he gave her a little up and down wave in return, like Mommy taught him how to wave back when people did that. And then.. Uncle Alec? He heard Mommy say that name before and this man looked a little bit familiar. He was smiling big which made Gunnar smile a big toothy grin back at him too. But he still wanted out of this stroller.


There were a couple people Ethan had wanted to say hello to that he thought might be in the Autograph Tent and this table in particular was the obvious first stop, he figured. A couple of their friends who had recently graduated had gotten signed to the Tornados and so they'd go see Alec and Wade first. It did seem that the further they walked, however, the more restless Gunnar became. Tired of being confined in the stroller maybe, but there really were too many people out for him to just be running around. The stroller was the easiest though maybe he'd carry him for a little bit to see if that change might appease him.

"You just want out of there, don't you buddy?" he chuckled as he heard him whining then spotted Gunnar reaching his body over the front of the stroller. Ethan returned Minerva's grin, chuckling a bit as she pretended to be a random avid fan, then he reached down to pull their son out of the stroller, doing his best to balance him on his hip. "Hi Ella," he nodded to her as she greeted them all. "Should have figured we'd see you here," he added with a grin. She and Alec had been pretty inseparable back in school, he wondered if that was still true.

He grinned back at Alec who seemed pretty excited to see them there and he readjusted Gunnar in his arms as the boy reached for the ground. "Hey Alec.. we're doing well.. and yourself?" Of course he'd let Min speak on how she herself was doing after the accident though he knew she had been recovering fine, and it was really nice to ask. Did they have something for them to sign? He kind of glanced at Min wondering if she had thought of that, then looked to the diaper bag at the back of the stroller thinking they had put their camera in there. "You wanted a picture?" He could probably juggle Gunnar a bit to reach it. And Wade in it of course too..
