"Guess I'll have to wait my turn to hold her, huh?" The nineteen year old looked between Dylish and Ari with a sheepish smile. Also, "You guys look nice." Not as cute as Xaria but hey, life wasn't fair.

Not bothering with whoever else might've been around for signing things, Dylan took Xaria from her arms and immediately snuggled her tiny face. "My little love!" Squish! Goddaughters were fun. He'd been wise to accept the responsibility...Besides, Xaria was always exceptionally behaved for him. Gunter probably hated it.

Dylan, the baby whisperer. It was known.

Cooing some nonsense words into her ear, he beamed at Ella...and then Selina, who had suddenly appeared from wherever she'd gotten lost to. Food. She always followed the food. Dylan should've known.

"Here, Ella." Yes, he usually hogged the godchild...and mostly, he wasn't even the least bit sorry but...he was in a good mood. For reasons...and Sel was about to get it. So, he needed free hands for that. Immediately to Cookie without a backwards glance. PSSH, rude.
D'aww baby girl was the cutest as she leaned out of Ariana's arms and over to Dylan. Usually Ariana would be pouting when she did that but baby girl was getting big and therefore heave and her arms were grateful for the break, yes they were. "teasing, mhm." he was getting eyes, all the eyes and he understood them she knew he did. Smiling.. more like grinning like an idiot she was as she watched Dylan with the baby She almost missed Selena coming in and she noted her touching Xaria ad she watched the baby kick her foot out as a reaction. "Hey Sel." also, it was weird that she just called her 'Ariana' it wasn't something she normally did but she assumed you know professionalism and all that.

Glancing over at the blonde haired girl next to her she smiled and nudged the former hufflepuff in the shoulder with her own. "he's a baby hogger, i know." She barely got to see her kid when Dylan was around but she loved that he loved her so much. made her feel like she had made the perfect choice in choosing him, which of course she did. She was surprised though when Dylan was suddenly passing her off to Ella, "not today though i guess." Today Dylan was sharing, which Dylan never, ever did and if he did it was on very rare occasions. Reaching forward she caught the child's pacifier mid pass between the two as the baby welled up in a big cheeky grin at seeing Ella. Awww, Cute!

He beamed at Xavier, adjusting the changing bag on his shoulder as he was clapped on the shoulder. Ages, yeah.. "Too long! I'm a granddad again." he said, a maaaaaaassive smile on his face as he nodded his head towards Felicity. Though he was pretty sure Xavier would have known that... since Richard had had some time off when she was born. Not the point. He was proud.

"So I heard, congrats!" Xavier beamed. Was Audric ready for it? "I'm a grandad too...again!" Third grandchild, Yvette's to be precise and boy, did it make him feel old! He was still a young lad, you know...around his...that didn't matter. All that did was that he could still get on a broom a whack those bludgers senseless.

"What have you been up to?" he asked, thoroughly curious. Where has one of his best mates hidden all this time?

Though she knew the man well and had sent owls with her job often she had never official met him.

"Mr. Baltazar, I hope you have found everything in order." Keeping her professional tone even though inside she was a ball of nerves and just wanted to ask him a thousand fan questions, but her position as Quidditch Division Manager she couldn't just act like the typical fan. Oh and she hadn't even introduced herself, goodness she was a typical fan wasn't she? "I'm sorry, Victoria Maroon. If you are in need of anything today, please don't hesitate to ask. If I'm checking on other areas, any of my team will be able to assist you." She pointed towards her name badge to show him how to find the Games and Sports employees.


"Miss Maroon--" She was a Miss, yeah? "--why thank you for your hospitality. Everything is wonderful!" he said with his signature dazzling smile. He didn't even have to try for it. It just happened. It was all naturalll. "Why, actually, I was wondering of there were any babysitting services."

... Wait for it.

"I'm just joshing, but is there? Out of curiosity, of course." Because his son wasn't going to stay put. It didn't take a seer to guess Cornelius would wander off at any given moment.

Having picked up a snack along the way, Oliver approached the group that had already formed and took a look around, spotting many a familiar face.. Aurora and her babby, d'aww... Cookie!Girl.. various Hogwarts peeps.. and there was mister-owner-man-dude.

“Hey bossman.. man.” Oliver greeted, sidling up to the old dude who was talking to another old dude (hehe), whom received a beamy smile. This was AWESOME. Like, totally up Oliver's attention seeking street..

All they needed now was the fanz.


There was one of his star players!

Xavier clapped him on the back. "Oliver Greenwood," in case people around didn't know who he was, WHICH they should. And what on Earth was he wearing? Anyway, "Never later, just making an entrance, right." Right! And it didn't matter because he was here.

Where was the rest of his team? It was a perfect event to gain even more fans. More than the several hundred thousands they had. No biggie. Shrug.

Baltazars and their ego.

The blonde refrained from beaming and flagging down Barny the Fruitbat. It was still early, and she really wanted to give attention to her fans. If she had any, any at all.... but it was still early! They would come! Right?!
Savannah had heard through the grapevine that Rapunzel might be making an appearance to this Quidditch thing, and by grapevine she meant Alexis Krum Chosen, and might.. well, Lex had a tendency of starting off a conversation with one bit of news and then it moving rather quickly into something entirely different, until they were both completely side-tracked. But surely, her old friend would be here with her team, wouldn't she?

It never hurt to check, and that's exactily what the former Badger was doing, wandering from the middle of the busy autographing stands with one hand resting lightly on her seven-year-old son's shoulder, guiding him toward the team of orange and black. "Rapunzel!" Savannah greeted brightly, a smile taking over her lips as they neared the table. The blonde was here, and alone. Apparently, they had come at a good time. But where was Ryan and the others?


Tugging at his Magpies jersey once his mum had moved her hand and nearly losing his hold on the quaffle tucked under his arm, Noah adjusted the ball between his elbow and side. The woman, who he not only recognized as one of the Cannon's Chasers - who was totally legendary, by the way, - but as friend of his parents (although it was possible he remembered her by name more so), was offered a grin. His way of saying hello, because he had no idea what to call her.

Kurumi was getting hugs later, okay? She seemed a bit busy at the moment and Ella was vying for Xaria attention but later? Later meant dragon talk and food, hopefully. She knew the older girl was good for both.

Then several things happened. A) Dylan was adorable with a baby, JUST saying. Ella noticed and just yeah, so cute. Could she SQUISH Dylan because sometimes she wanted to (Hufflepuff Problems) but she didn't know if he was the type to allow such things. Did puppy!dog eye work on him or? They certainly worked on Alec. B) Selina said hello to her and Ella silently fangirled because even though she KNEW Selina and WENT to school with her, the older girl was still something of a legend to her. She played for the HARPIES! Just Ella's favorite team since, well, EVER. "Hi Selina!" BEAM! C) Said red head got Dylan to hand over Xaria which was GREAT and also amusing because well, well. BROWS. The nineteen year old gave Ari a questioning look and then shrugged because XARIA time!

"Hello beautiful!" The blonde bounced the baby gently in her arms and grinned because AJHLDJHLS so cute. "She's getting so big, Ari. This shouldn't be allowed."

Know who ELSE was cute? The little Arrows fan? He got smiles TOO! Also, where was MAX? Ella wanted to squish HIM most of all.

Default For Lissy AND Bethany!!

She was late... as usual. But in her defence the prospect of being the ONLY reserve in attendance kind of blew. BLAAAAH.

But whatever. Team unity and whatever.

Standing on her tippy toes Kalla Ogden peered over the crowd in search of Jack or Nia. She could hide behind them, right? Because like... yeah.

Putting his big batty hands up in the air he danced to his own music in his head and in the best batty voice;

"WHO LET THE BATS OUT? FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP WHO LET THE BATS OUT?" Flapping his arms on the flap parts of course!
Barny was, quite simply, hilarious. She should of course be used this by now, but she was usually too focused on her own game before a match to fully appreciate her mascot's antics. Here, right in front of her though...well, Barny had just given her a severe case of the giggles.

She looked away from the flapping momentarily to regain her composure, and there she spotted a familiar face in the crowd. One that shouldn't be in the crowd at all, and needed to be sitting right over here with her and Jack. "Over here!" Nia beckoned, patting the empty seat beside her.

The only reserve team member to turn out. Nia was impressed.

be curious, not judgmental

After having fun with his long lost Ravenclaw friends outside, Maximus James supposed he needed to brave the crowded autograph tent for his team. Despite the four years he had already played as a professional Quidditch player, Max still hadn't gotten used to crowds of people. Crowds of people who knew who he was and were pretty much judging his every move. If he tripped and face-planted into the ground or he sneezed and had a bogey momentarily hanging from his nose, the whole world would likely find out. Really, playing against many of the best Quidditch players in the world? He was pretty comfortable with that. But press events and important fan interactions like today?

Yeah. It was no mistake that Max had started outside with his friends and stayed out there as long as possible.

He tried to slip into the tent unnoticed, not making eye contact with a soul - he was lucky he didn't have to go far as the Arrows table was right on the end. He heaved a sigh when he was situated, then just as he went to nudge Dylan in greeting, there was a little boy peeking up at him with wide eyes.

Text Cut: ZEKE

Zeke could barely contain his excitement, so wide-eyed and grinning, he'd ditched Emily somewhere and almost ran directly to the Arrows table. But there were PEOPLE in his way. Did they not know he LOVED the Arrooooowwsss?! HUH?!

T____________T

On tip toes, he finally managed to see WHO was actually here, and ONE name - or face, rather - stood out. IT WAS JAMESSSSSSS! MAXIMUS! HIM! HIIIIIIIM!

Pushing his was forward to the table, Zeke flopped both hands on the edge in front of him and just STARED at the Keeper for a moment.

............ "HI!" he greeted shortly. He was a fan, clearly, the jersey said it all.
How did these things work? Huh? He was the son of a Department Head, could he like, borrow the Keeper for the day?

It was quite possibly the cutest thing Max had ever seen.

Was that... was the little boy wearing HIS jersey? Merlin. WHERE WAS VIVI? She had to see this.

Could they keep him?

"Hey, little man," Max grinned big, leaning as far forward as he could to greet the kid who was barely high enough to see him over the table and extended a fist out to the boy for a fist-bump. "Cool jersey. What's your name, bud?" If there was anyone else in this tent who wanted his attention, they would have to wait because this little cutie had the Arrows Keeper wrapped around his finger.

She didn't entirely trust the people at the paper to keep as keen an eye on things as she did. She had more of a vested interest whereas they were just in it for the galleons.

"Oh, alright then," she nodded, glancing over her shoulder at the surrounding area and spotting nothing but mascots and the crowd...but not her red headed friend. "You looked good this last match, by the way."

She looked down at her basket that was slightly blocked from view by her tummy. She was tempted to just sneak one of the sandwiches she had in there. Selina wouldn't be able to tell if one of them was missing...


Another glance around the tent told Sierra things were really picking up in here. She felt sort of self-conscious all of the sudden, like she wasn't meant to be signing autographs, but rather going around the tent collecting them. Was this even real?

She turned back to Kurumi once she heard the girl's voice again. "Oh, well...thanks. I hadn't realized you were there," she said. Must have been there to see Selina. This conversation didn't seem real either. She and Kurumi? Just chatting like old friends?

Sierra sighed.

"Look, uhh...I've grown up a bit since Hogwarts. I, uh, apologize about anything and, uh, everything I may have done or said then that wasn't so pleasant," she said. There. That hadn't been so hard. There were just a few uh's around there.

Getting a team picture out of her bag she set it on the table. She had a few perks when it came to her job and getting the team pictures were one of them. "If you don't mind, my son is unable to attend being at school and I know he'd just love your autograph." It wasn't his Warriors, but he's be excited she was pretty sure. [/color]


Oh, heyy! Somebody wanted an autograph!

That still felt kind of weird to Sierra, who saw herself as just an ordinary person still playing a sport she loved. Especially with Kurumi standing nearby--that made it seem just like another day at Hogwarts with the Slytherin Quidditch team. Ahh, good times. Speaking of the Snakes, she suddenly spotted Dylan across the tent and gave him a quick wave before turning back to the woman before her.

"Oh, sure. What's your son's name?" she asked. And what did the woman want autographed?

He seemed okay but Benji found the random greeting weird, then he remembered the badge he was wearing probably drew attention, at least more than his face..

He turned hearing his name, blue eyes focusing on his boss who had only just arrived. "Everything seems to be running smoothly, i need to check the other tent soon. How are things going elsewhere?" He asked and noticed one of the players and a few others fawning over some baby.. He rolled his eyes a little. Children were over-rated. He didn't get the fascination and therefore thought this group were a bit odd, making a fuss about a common baby while in a tent full of quidditch players. He would have mentioned it but he was sure that his boss wouldn't only fuss at him but having children she would disagree.


Victoria's eyes watched all the excitement in the tent, it was just exciting see the fans interact with the players. "That's great to hear. Thank you for keeping up with both tents. I'm here to help as well though." She'd stick around a bit and just make sure he didn't need extra eyes. Plus getting a few things signed for Bart would be a good thing as well. Maybe the boy wouldn't be so mad at her once he saw the gifts.

Her eyes followed his glance and she saw where he was looking. She couldn't help but chuckle. "Something interesting Benji?" As she looked on to the other people around, she noticed a familiar little boy. Grinning and giving a small wave towards Zeke she didn't know if he saw or not, but she was glad he was there. Maybe she'd find Emily later on.


SPOILER!!: Isobel and Sierra

"Thank you," she said, mainly in response to the offer of help but also because she'd help put this together and that deserved recognition and thanks.

She was talking to her, right? This woman wanted her autograph? Alright then. Isobel eyed the team picture, she had one just like it somewhere around her home. "What's your son's name?" She asked the woman? He would probably like if the autograph(s) were personalized, yes?



"Yes," she nodded as the other girl appeared to know her name. Isobel still had not placed how she knew her yet. That is, not until she introduced herself. "Oh Kurumi, hey. It's nice to meet you too, I remember you from Hogwarts." They'd never really talked, but Isobel knew who she was. She'd been Kurumi Hollingberry back then, so she must have gotten married. "How have you been?" She didn't know her well enough to really ask about her life, but she could make friendly conversation.
Oh, heyy! Somebody wanted an autograph!

That still felt kind of weird to Sierra, who saw herself as just an ordinary person still playing a sport she loved.

Please feel free to take breaks and enjoy the day as well. We have plenty of food at the concession. I would think your managers would have given you the free lunch card for a thank you for participating." All the players should have gotten them, she hoped.

Handing over the team photo Vic was happy to at least to this for her son. "His name is Bart, thank you for doing this." Looking around at the other players, she hoped to possibly get theirs as well. Just as she thought it another of the players asked about her sons name. She gave a smile to Sierra, wasn't it? She tried to think of the rosters that sat in front of her and the confirmed list of players that passed her desk a dozen times. "His name is Bart and he would just love an autograph. He's at Hogwarts now so he will enjoy the surprise I think." She paid attention a bit to make sure she knew the players. "I hope you are finding the day well. Like I told your teammate here don't hesitate to ask myself or one of the badged employees for help."

He said her name, well formally he said it. She couldn't help but feel butterflies as she nodded and beamed. "It is our pleasure. My boss and I as well as all of my team have wanted this and are very excited to see the turn out so far. I just hope all of you will take the time to enjoy as well." It was a lovely event and it was just amazing, but so was he and she was speaking to him. EEEP! "Also you can call me Victoria" There was someone else here with the Maroon last name and she wanted nothing to do with being asked if she was related to that Catapults manager.

She looked at him puzzled for a moment. Babysitting? This was a family event he really didn't think they'd have sitting available, but it wouldn't have been a bad idea for at least the players and well owner. He said he was joking, well that's good she supposed, but she still felt awkward. "Oh no, I'm sorry Mr. Baltazar we don't have babysitting today. It's suppose to be a family oriented event so I didn't think.." She wasn't sure how to fix this. Maybe she could find someone, Langen maybe? She'd probably be good for babysitting duties. "If you are in real need of one I could see if one of my workers could be your personal nanny for the day." It was at least an offer.

Also, this JAMES jersey was adorable.

"Hello."...No, he probably wasn't speaking directly to him...but Dylan still felt compelled to respond. "That jersey is nice, man."

Zeke was sure he wasn't temporarily silenced, no, he was convinced he would never be able to talk ever again. SEEKER DUDE WAS TAKING TO HIM! HELLOOO! YES! HI! On the one hand it was super duper cool and he could tell Ashley and make her all jealous... on the other hand, was it awkward that the name on his shirt wasn't Mont-whateverhisnamewas ... it was a long and hard name, give him a break.

"Errr... uuhh... THANKS!" he finally blurted, evidence that he hadn't lost his voice at all. "You play really good, I'll have your shirt one day too... once I'm allowed." Or once he saved his money - and that wasn't going to happen for a LONG time. The pretty lady person with him was nice too, despite his pushing to get to the front. Whooooopsy. "Sorry, you go first," he conceded, though he hoped some soft puppy dog eyes would mean he could keep his spot here, latched to the table. He wasn't moving. Nope.

Instead, he returned his big hazel eyes to the Keeper. The EPIC Keeper, that was super cool and stuff... he was staring again.

Crowds of people who knew who he was and were pretty much judging his every move. If he tripped and face-planted into the ground or he sneezed and had a bogey momentarily hanging from his nose, the whole world would likely find out. Really, playing against many of the best Quidditch players in the world? He was pretty comfortable with that. But press events and important fan interactions like today?

Yeah. It was no mistake that Max had started outside with his friends and stayed out there as long as possible.

He tried to slip into the tent unnoticed, not making eye contact with a soul - he was lucky he didn't have to go far as the Arrows table was right on the end. He heaved a sigh when he was situated, then just as he went to nudge Dylan in greeting, there was a little boy peeking up at him with wide eyes.


It was quite possibly the cutest thing Max had ever seen.

Was that... was the little boy wearing HIS jersey? Merlin. WHERE WAS VIVI? She had to see this.

Could they keep him?

"Hey, little man," Max grinned big, leaning as far forward as he could to greet the kid who was barely high enough to see him over the table and extended a fist out to the boy for a fist-bump. "Cool jersey. What's your name, bud?" If there was anyone else in this tent who wanted his attention, they would have to wait because this little cutie had the Arrows Keeper wrapped around his finger.


LITTLE MAAAANNN?! HE CALLED HIM LITTTLLEEE MAN! He hated when people called him little, he was ten, he was practically a BIG man. Practically... but he didn't care. Not anymore. If JAMES wanted to call him LITTLE MAN, then so be it. On top of that, they were fist bumping. FIIISSSSTTTT BUMPINGGGG!!!! THEY WERE BRO'S! BFF'S! Or at least, that's how he interpreted it.

"Thanks! I got it at your match against the Magpies..." a game he had loved, though he would have gladly forgotten trip home. It was awkward when there was rivalry in the family. "I'm Zeke.. or well, Ezekiel... but people call me Zeke cause it's cooler. Though it's not as cool as Maximus.. that's like THE coolest name, it means strong things, or so I've heard." He didn't actually know, but it sounded like something he was supposed to have learned in History. Speaking of History and stuff..... "How long have you been playing? Did you always want to be a keeper? I heard your mum played too, that true?"

So no, he hadn't lost his voice at all..

He didn't actually know, but it sounded like something he was supposed to have learned in History. Speaking of History and stuff..... "How long have you been playing? Did you always want to be a keeper? I heard your mum played too, that true?"

So no, he hadn't lost his voice at all..

If the boy had objected to anything Max had said to him so far, the Keeper couldn't have suspected a thing. This kid was brilliant. So excited and so sweet and fist-bumping like a pro - Max beamed the whole time.

"So you come to our matches? That's awesome!" That was way cute, and likely meant the boy had a fairly wealthy parent, no doubt... Speaking of which, where was his guardian? Max glanced around at the people nearest to them at the table for someone who looked to be paying special attention to the boy, but he didn't see anyone who fit the bill. Hum. Had he snuck off? Was there a worried parent somewhere? Well... surely the parent would know where to look, since the kid was wearing an Arrows jersey, and Max tried not to worry too much about the possibility of an irate parent yelling at the boy in front of him for sneaking off when he was so precious and so happy in this moment.

"I think Zeke and Ezekiel are both way cool. But Zeke it is," he grinned, offering his nod of approval. "S'a pleasure to meet you, bud." Then, as if he was sharing a secret with him, Max lowered his voice and leaned in just a little more, "Y'know, so far, you're the only person I've seen today wearing a James jersey. I'm pretty sure that makes you my best and biggest fan." He was a modest man, but he knew that if his childhood favorite Quidditch player had told him that, he'd have died and gone to heaven at such an honor, so he was hopeful that would make the kid feel all sorts of special.

Zeke was his new favorite fan, at the very least, and Max wondered if the boy had brought something for him to sign. Or would he want the jersey he was wearing signed? Or could they take a picture together? Awww. Max would want a copy of that one.

How long had he been playing? Merlin. He had to think about it for a second before carefully elaborating, "Y'know, I went to Hogwarts, and I actually didn't even start playing Quidditch till my fourth term, so I was just fourteen. I'd always been a good flyer, even before that, and 'course my mum wanted me to play - she'd been a Chaser for the Arrows for years and years, but..." Was it good or not so much to share the nitty gritty details of his Quidditch career with a kid? Wasn't he supposed to be inspiring him?

He went on, deciding the direction to take with it, "I'd been kind of nervous about it. I was a really shy kid, and, y'know, people were gonna expect great things from me, being a pro's son and all, but my best friend, who was my house's captain, convinced me to try out. I was a natural Keeper, luckily, and even though I was still kind of nervous about playing and maybe not being good enough and letting my teammates down, I found that just having fun and not stressing over being the best or winning was the best thing y'can do. I got better and better and all the work that goes into it doesn't even feel like work with that kind of mindset. And lemme tell ya," Max leaned in again, "my secret for every match, even today? It's still all about having fun and loving the game." Even though the stakes were significantly higher and he had all sorts of higher-ups to please, at the end of the day, he made sure it felt like a hobby more than a job.

"You gonna be a Quidditch player, Zeke?" Important question.

I would think your managers would have given you the free lunch card for a thank you for participating." All the players should have gotten them, she hoped.

Handing over the team photo Vic was happy to at least to this for her son. "His name is Bart, thank you for doing this." Looking around at the other players, she hoped to possibly get theirs as well. Just as she thought it another of the players asked about her sons name. She gave a smile to Sierra, wasn't it? She tried to think of the rosters that sat in front of her and the confirmed list of players that passed her desk a dozen times. "His name is Bart and he would just love an autograph. He's at Hogwarts now so he will enjoy the surprise I think." She paid attention a bit to make sure she knew the players. "I hope you are finding the day well. Like I told your teammate here don't hesitate to ask myself or one of the badged employees for help."


Sierra blinked. Whoa. She played professional Quidditch, because she really loved to play the sport. She hadn't exactly ever sat down and thought deeply about the fan aspect of it. She appreciated it, make no mistake, but she was just still getting used to having all these badged people ready to assist her whenever she needed it. She gave the woman a smile. "Thanks," she said. She nodded about the free lunch card. "Mmhmm, we got one."

Now that's something she could use--lunch. She's stay here just a little longer then head over to the concession.

Sierra accepted the photo that was passed to her then wrote:

To: Bart

Play hard. Play to win.

Best, Sierra Greingoth


Then she passed the photo back to the woman. "Tell Bart I said hello," she said.

"You gonna be a Quidditch player, Zeke?" Important question.


Zeke nodded eagerly, "Most of the time," he added honestly. If it were up to him, he'd be there for EVERY match, but Emily had plans and sometimes that did not involve leaving him at the stadium for its duration. Uuuuggghhh. And speaking of Emily... was James looking for her? He was looking. When adults looked around like that it was because they thought he'd die, or he was in other types of trouble. Was he NOT supposed to touch the table? TOO BAD! "She's not here. I mean, she's here, just not here here... she has work things to do so I left her to it." There was no way she was suckering him into being one of them undercover civilian type security peeps - not that'd she'd have let him, but still, he liked to think she would.

It was quite possible that today was THE best day of his life. Or at least, it seemed that way in this moment. BIIIIGGGGGGG moment here, yep. WAY COOL... his name was WAY cool.. apparently, which WAS cool in itself, coming from James. Wait, no, Maximus, Max? They WERE on a first name basis yes? The Keeper's use of the term BUD indicated that they were. BUDS were on first name bases, duh, everyone knew that. "It is a pleasure, more than a pleasure, to meet YOU." He was grinning and gawking when MAX leaned in closer and lowered his voice. Again, confirming that they were friends, buds, BBFs, bros, homies... cause squirrel business didn't happen between strangers or people that didn't like each other. Zeke was convinced that his logic was flawless. "I aaaaammmm!" he hushed back, a little too quickly. Although, perhaps he wasn't? He didn't go watch all of his matches, and he hadn't sent him a birthday card or a Christmas gift, MAYBE, just maybe, he was a terrible fan disguised as the biggest one? "Just.. don't tell him, yeah?" he added, a shifty glance towards Monty-what'shisface... ahem. Zeke grinned some more, thoroughly enjoying himself and perfectly content with hogging the STAR player.

This was easily better than a History lesson, school was such a bore, he didn't even know why he had to go. It seemed pointless - all things considered. There was so much for him to take in, that he hoped his brain would remember it later in the evening, there would be NO way he was going to forget this. Of the things he learned, first that Max had gone to Hogwarts, second that he didn't start playing until late, and lastly that his mum had been with the club too. "Epiiiiccc! I didn't know you started so late, you're just sooooo good, and I hear some people start when they're like, super young." Which had made him feel like he was behind on it all, but not so much now. All the stuff about being nervous and having fun and not stressing sounded familiar. It sounded like the peptalk he got when he had a test or something coming up. Still, he could relate. HE RELATED TO MAX!

Leaning his head in a little closer too, Zeke nodded, "Fun and loving the game," he would commit that one to memory as best as he could, though it seemed hard not putting wanting to win first. Considering though that he was hearing this from a Pro, he really oughtn't question it AT ALL, and on top of that, it had been a secret. He would KEEP this secret to himself.

"I dunno," he shrugged at Max's question. "I've only flown, haven't tried playing a game yet..." and he had to learn to fly properly first. "I lose control of the broom too much, it goes all wonky and dips and stuff." He could handle the erratic movements, just not when he was flying AT something, which was often the case. "Got any tips?"

Also, is this what people did when they met players? Stood and chatted? He could do this for hours, days even.

Sat at the Falmouth Falcons table, Richard Turner looked around wondering where Aurora could be. He supposed she would come. Of course, she would. He had no reason to doubt that. However, he had been sitting there for a while and still had not seen her.

This day was not going to be a difficult one for all he needed to do was smile at people, be nice, sign things and maybe answer questions. Stuff like that. Still, he wanted Aurora around. Playing with the quill in his hands, the blond man eyed the Holyhead Harpies table a bit with his grey eyes. Well...well...there was not much interesting stuff to stare at around than a full women team. Not that that was super interesting to him.

No? Eh..he supposed not. Not anymore.

But surely, her old friend would be here with her team, wouldn't she?

It never hurt to check, and that's exactily what the former Badger was doing, wandering from the middle of the busy autographing stands with one hand resting lightly on her seven-year-old son's shoulder, guiding him toward the team of orange and black. "Rapunzel!" Savannah greeted brightly, a smile taking over her lips as they neared the table. The blonde was here, and alone. Apparently, they had come at a good time. But where was Ryan and the others?


Tugging at his Magpies jersey once his mum had moved her hand and nearly losing his hold on the quaffle tucked under his arm, Noah adjusted the ball between his elbow and side. The woman, who he not only recognized as one of the Cannon's Chasers - who was totally legendary, by the way, - but as friend of his parents (although it was possible he remembered her by name more so), was offered a grin. His way of saying hello, because he had no idea what to call her.
Rapunzel had taken to doodling snitches on the pad of autograph paper at her table, since it was quite lonely and boring over here, and then decided that snitches flying out of a cannon would really be a better drawing. She was getting quite into the doodling and even thought about charming the paper to REALLY make the snitches fly, when lo and behold... a shadow crossed her paper. Two shadows, actually, one taller than the other.

She looked up and blinked her wide green eyes. "Savannah?" Omg it was not. "VANNAH! What are you doing here?!" She grinned and stood up, of course, to give her oldoldoldoldold school friend a hug. After the hug, she beamed down at Savvy's little boy. "And whoooo is this?!" He was probably wondering the same thing, but it had been a while!

Vivi was trying SO hard to give Max and Selina space before she showed up and fangirled all over them, but it was too much for her nerves. And since she was properly patrolling, it was fine to saunter into the tent and give the bestie a finger wave and a million blown kisses, and to make broad gestures at Kurumi and her wild t-shirt and her basket because sharing was caring.

And then to make her way over to the Arrows. Dylan got a big wink and another blown kiss, but then all of Vivi's attention was for Max. And the mini Max. No, honestly, the young boy wearing a James jersey and eagerly swapping secrets with Max just did something to the stalwart Auror's insides. She felt like she was turning into jelly, and she didn't like feeling like that. Jelly feels were a bit too normal!girl for Vivi tastes.

"I thought I was your biggest fan, but it looks like I've been replaced." Vivi crossed her arms across her chest, across her OWN James jersey, and gave the kid a once over. The stern look only lasted a second before she offered her hand to him with a grin. "It was good while it lasted. Well played, mate. I like your jersey."

Default Esme, Iwin and Barny!
Arts TRANSPONSTER!

Muirgen gave her friend a warm smile because she thought Esme was doing great! For a shy person like her, Murigen guessed it wasn't that easy to deal with this kind of situation.

The Beater beamed at Iwin when he confirmed he was Welsh. "Of course! We're the best!" Caerphilly Catapults FTW!! They were so awesome, just like the Irish. Muirgen wondered when they'd have to face the Irish again and she honestly couldn't WAIT!! It would be a very good day when it happened. She was sure of it!

AWW YIIISSSS!!!! Barny gave her a cwtch tooooo!!! Yaaaaaayyyy!! She hugged the mascot tightly then high fived him right after! "You'rre awesooooome!!" It would be terrible to play against them. Not really. Hehehehehehehe!!

Ohey, it was her turn to sign Iwin's little book thingy. To Iwin, WELSH POWER! Keep it Celtic! Muirgen Tupper. She would sign something related to bludgers and whatnot, but being Welsh was so much better than any of that! "Heur you are!"

Hmmmm, was it time for her to go to the Bludger Blasting areaa??? Hmmmm??? She turned to Esme. "When do you think we're supposed to go'?? Will anyone come call us?"

The blonde refrained from beaming and flagging down Barny the Fruitbat. It was still early, and she really wanted to give attention to her fans. If she had any, any at all.... but it was still early! They would come! Right?!
Barny was making his rounds again, strutting up and down the tent, giving hugs, fist pumps, and batty high five. So when he saw someone different at a table he couldn't resist but to go great them. Did it matter they were from another team, not today! Barny was just having fun with everyone, because who didn't want a dance session with a bat?

He strutted behind the table and started wiggling his bum around. Dancing on each side of her and finally walking up and giving her a big batty hug. Do you feel the love? Do you feel it?

But whatever. Team unity and whatever.

Standing on her tippy toes Kalla Ogden peered over the crowd in search of Jack or Nia. She could hide behind them, right? Because like... yeah.
As he danced to Who let the bat's out. Barny noticed another teammate coming over to the table. This one got excited jumps and wiggles for showing up. He pulled his batty hand up for a fist bump, because she knew she wanted one.

Dancing around and did a few wiggles just for her. Was there room for a cartwheel, because he was feeling up to it at that moment.

She looked away from the flapping momentarily to regain her composure, and there she spotted a familiar face in the crowd. One that shouldn't be in the crowd at all, and needed to be sitting right over here with her and Jack. "Over here!" Nia beckoned, patting the empty seat beside her.

The only reserve team member to turn out. Nia was impressed.
Hearing Nia's giggles Barny continued his dancing. Moving closer to her and taking her hands in his to have her dance a bit as well. See fans look how cool the Bat's were. They weren't embarrassed to dance with their mascot. Nope!

Letting go of her hands he wiggled around a few more times and then put up a hand for another batty high five!

Feeling her hug him tightly, Barny kept his arms around and swayed a bit, getting her to do a form of a slow dance type of thing. Grabbing one of her hands he twirled her around and then did a gentlemen batty bow. Then mocking the Leprechaun style dance with his feet he danced his way to the other side of the table.

Turning back to both ladies for an awesome batty high five!

Playing with the quill in his hands, the blond man eyed the Holyhead Harpies table a bit with his grey eyes. Well...well...there was not much interesting stuff to stare at around than a full women team. Not that that was super interesting to him.

No? Eh..he supposed not. Not anymore.
Aurora had been distracted by Felicity, who was staring at the bat like she couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry... and Rora didn't blame her. It was a bit scary. "Don't worry princess, it a friendly bat." she said, bouncing the baby on her hip. Then she finally saw Richard, after her dad had shifted out of the way to talk to Xavier.

"Hey sweetie." She walked right over and kissed him on the cheek. "Look Felicity, daddy's here!" A distraction, yay! Felicity stopped looking confused at the bat, and gave her daddy the biggest smile, reaching out her hands to him. She wanted him to cuddle her... she was very much a daddy's girl.

Selina was too busy gawking at Kurumi's shirt with her FACE on it to really notice other people. But she had a Vivi radar. Mhmm. It was almost 99% fool proof and she always sensed her roomie's presence. Like right NOW. Hi Vivi.

Even though she had just seen her...she got crazy waves and air kisses.

Could she take those chairs now?

SPOILER!!: Max, Ari, Ella & Dylan

The nineteen year old gave Ari a questioning look and then shrugged because XARIA time!

"Here, Ella." Yes, he usually hogged the godchild...and mostly, he wasn't even the least bit sorry but...he was in a good mood. For reasons...and Sel was about to get it. So, he needed free hands for that. Immediately to Cookie without a backwards glance. PSSH, rude.[/B]


She even followed the path of the Wild Vivi in the tent. Where was she going...? Ah, the boyfriend. Max got waves too. Maybe not blown kisses because those were Vivi exclusive, but she felt it was the thought that counted.

She also noticed that people had said hello to her. Namely Logan and LITTLE ELLA. Who was an adult with her own adult life and adultness and things and when did that HAPPEN? More importantly, when did she get old? Ugh.

They both got nods and waves in their direction too. Yes, even the one married to the alien. Logan got the LOOK. Xaria was fine, though. NO alien blood there.

...she had checked. Ahem.

Last, but not least in that little crowd, although he was pulling a serious pout face, was the Arrows Seeker. What was that face for? They had gotten ready together EARLIER...it wasn't like he hadn't seen her. Pleeeeeease, Dyl.

And she was still a little peeved at him. He had broken like five of her quills. So why was he looking at her like that? Hmm?

Default Nia and Barny!!

Okay. OKAY. She spotted Nia and her shoulders instantly relaxed. Now to make her way over..

OMG. Barny. Hehehe.

The usually cold Ogden girl couldn't help but smile at the sight of her mascot wiggling around her. And yes she definitely gave his fist bumps. Best. Mascot. Ever.

Muirgen was pretty, too. Red hair, pretty eyes...all that fun stuff. He nodded at her question, though, a boyish grin painted across his face quite suddenly. "I'm Welsh, yes...as are you, right, Muirgen?" he asked gently. He would be getting her autograph, next, yep. "Gotta' love th' Welsh, right?" he asked, putting on his accent a little thicker for her. Hehe. He felt smiley now, but he tried to be...cool. Yeah, cool. He couldn't let himself blush again. "I still can't believe I get to--" and the bloody mascot was HUGGING Esme now! Merlin! Iwin eyed the thing and just...coughed. Wow. He could tell poor Esme wasn't having any of this--she seemed to dislike it, actually, and just waved half-heartedly at Barny...and raised an eyebrow at Muirgen.

"So do I get a hug, too? I'm no Fruitbat but..." he shrugged. "I'm decent, right?" he asked, clearly teasing, of course...*brooooows*

And now FINALLY for the autograph! He would bounce more if he was younger--and it was accepted for him to be bouncy. But of course, keep up CHILL appearances, Iwin. He smirked slightly as she tried to catch what she was writing to him, but he would get a proper look once she was all done. Things were sure getting crowded in here, and he thought it made it all the more exciting. The babble of energy around them, even the crazy mascots made this event worth coming to. Not that he had a job to take off from, but if he did, he would have, of course, certainly taken off for it!

Esme was speaking to another Quidditch player..Merlin what was his name? Iwin couldn't remember his name for anything! He smiled and waved at him, though..."After Muirgen gives me her autograph, can I have one of yours?" he asked, super polite and such, you know? He wanted as many as he could get, but he had to get the Catapults' ones first! They were his team!

Moving back once more he danced around and looked towards the other player Muirgen and hugged her as well. See she liked his batty hugs and she got a big batty high five as well!

Moving away from the table he just so happen to hear the fan (Irwin) say about a hug. Of course Barny knew he meant him. Couldn't leave a fan out now could he. So strutting up to the fan he put him in a big batty hug. There you go man got your hug!

Hmmmm, was it time for her to go to the Bludger Blasting areaa??? Hmmmm??? She turned to Esme. "When do you think we're supposed to go'?? Will anyone come call us?"
So this was somewhat embarrassing for the 24 year old though she really tried to play it cool. It was probably a futile attempt as her flushed cheeks gave her away every time. At least Iwin was taking it all in good fun. Esme couldn't help but to blush a little more though when the fan asked for a hug from her as well. "Oh.. well, yes, you're quite decent," she stammered a bit, chuckling a little and trying to not be so awkward. "Of course you could have a hug too.." And apparently Barny thought that meant him as the mascot not only went in for another hug from her but one from the fan as well. She couldn't help but to laugh at the absurdity of the situation.

At least Muirgen enjoyed the Bat's antics and Esme snuck a look at her, allowing a chuckle as she shook her head a bit. "Maybe you'd like a picture too?" she asked Iwin as she turned back to him, coming out from behind her table to indulge him in his hug. "Did you happen to bring a camera?" She thought she had seen someone working here and taking photos but it would probably be easier if he had just brought his own rather than hunt someone down. And maybe Muirgen wanted in the photo as well? She glanced back at her friend as she asked a question and gave her a shrug. "No idea.. I imagine someone would say something, maybe. Or maybe walk around later and see?" She didn't know because she wasn't specifically asked to partake in any of the fan-based activities, but she did intend on looking around at some point.


SPOILER!!: Richard and Aurora.. and Barny the Fruitbat

"Hey sweetie." She walked right over and kissed him on the cheek. "Look Felicity, daddy's here!" A distraction, yay! Felicity stopped looking confused at the bat, and gave her daddy the biggest smile, reaching out her hands to him. She wanted him to cuddle her... she was very much a daddy's girl.
Gunnar was so tired of being in that stroller then even in Daddy's arms. He wanted down and he wanted to explore on his own. And the second that Daddy put him down, he was off! He had seen that big funny-looking thing (Barny) from the other end of the tent and he wanted to go see it. It had taken him a while to figure out what it was when he had seen him before, but Gunnar soon decided it was a weird sort of cat. Running as fast as his little legs would carry him, he maneuvered through the crowd until he found it. "Cat!" he grinned up at it as he pointed. "Cat!" He squealed a little as he started laughing in sheer enjoyment until he was scooped up again. Noooo Daddy!

It was probably a mistake to put Gunnar down on the ground, but man that boy was fidgety. Whiny in his stroller and trying to hang out of it, then throwing his weight towards the ground as he tried to hold him, Ethan thought he could hold his hand next to him but should have known he'd take off the minute he'd put him down. Leaving Min and Chloe down by the Tornados table and letting the know he'd be right back, the 21 year old weaved in and out of people in line, muttering excuse me's as he tried to catch up to his son. Figures he'd be after the bat.

Ethan scooped up his 16 month old son. "Gotta stay with Daddy, buddy." Green eyes glanced over to Barny. "That's a bat.. can you say bat?" He readjusted his hold on Gunnar as the boy got all squirmy in his arms again and he noticed which table he was standing in front of.. Falmouth Falcons. Oh yeah, he knew one of the players and he noticed the man's small family here as well. "Hey, Richard.." he grinned, "Aurora.. Felicity.. nice to see you all.." Yeah, nope.. not getting down again, Gunnar.

SPOILER!!: Oliver Greenwood.. with mention of Victoria, Xavier, and Nia

Having picked up a snack along the way, Oliver approached the group that had already formed and took a look around, spotting many a familiar face.. Aurora and her babby, d'aww... Cookie!Girl.. various Hogwarts peeps.. and there was mister-owner-man-dude.

“Hey bossman.. man.” Oliver greeted, sidling up to the old dude who was talking to another old dude (hehe), whom received a beamy smile. This was AWESOME. Like, totally up Oliver's attention seeking street..

All they needed now was the fanz.
Mariel was still making the rounds, ensuring everything was up to par and running smoothly. Her next stop naturally was the Autograph Tent. Certain to be plenty of people here, it did have the potential for unruly crowds and line-jumping, so she would make sure there would be none of that.

The 29 year old entered the large tent from the middle as it seemed the lines were very long on either end and she found herself first near the Falcons table. She spotted the owner first, speaking to Victoria. "Mr. Baltazar, I trust everything is going well?" She would hope he'd at least know who she was, having worked directly with all the teams for four years in the Quidditch Division before heading up the entire department that regulated the whole league. But she had her nametag in case he had forgotten. And he was speaking to Victoria besides, who she knew had things all under control and she gave her Division Manager an approving smile. If there was anything pressing she was sure they'd say something.

But since she was at the Falcons, she looked for another player that she'd recognize. And she wasn't disappointed.. Green eyes landed on another player she had gone to school with, dressed in something she'd very much expect of him, causing her to chuckle slightly. "Oliver.. so glad you could make it out today," she said with a smile. "How's the family?" Maybe they came too? It was that sort of event.

And then she noticed someone else familiar standing right next to her.. oh her nephews! "Ethan!" she beamed, noticing him talking to another of the players. "How nice of you to come.." Min and possible Chloe must be around somewhere too, right? Oh but she was so pleased to see them. "Let me see that baby." She reached out and took Gunnar from him, holding him on her hip, and planted a kiss on his head. Noticing Nia at the far end of the tent, she gave her friend a wave. She'd have to be down in a minute to go say hello. She was absolutely going to show off her great-nephew.

Glancing over at the blonde haired girl next to her she smiled and nudged the former hufflepuff in the shoulder with her own. "he's a baby hogger, i know." She barely got to see her kid when Dylan was around but she loved that he loved her so much. made her feel like she had made the perfect choice in choosing him, which of course she did. She was surprised though when Dylan was suddenly passing her off to Ella, "not today though i guess." Today Dylan was sharing, which Dylan never, ever did and if he did it was on very rare occasions. Reaching forward she caught the child's pacifier mid pass between the two as the baby welled up in a big cheeky grin at seeing Ella. Awww, Cute!

Could she SQUISH Dylan because sometimes she wanted to (Hufflepuff Problems) but she didn't know if he was the type to allow such things. Did puppy!dog eye work on him or? They certainly worked on Alec. B) Selina said hello to her and Ella silently fangirled because even though she KNEW Selina and WENT to school with her, the older girl was still something of a legend to her.

"Hello beautiful!" The blonde bounced the baby gently in her arms and grinned because AJHLDJHLS so cute. "She's getting so big, Ari. This shouldn't be allowed."

Know who ELSE was cute? The little Arrows fan? He got smiles TOO! Also, where was MAX? Ella wanted to squish HIM most of all.

Yes, Dylan was so generous...sharing the godchild like this.

Before switching his attention from the three ladies, he was reminded of something. "Let me know when I can watch her again."....because he'd thoroughly enjoyed it the last time....EVEN IF he'd had the other two little terrors at the same time. Christopher loved him some Xaria. It was kinda adorable.

After giving Miss Ellaphant a big (careful) hug...because of her holding Xaria, he tickled the baby's tiny foot and stepped around the table. Max had popped up.

SPOILER!!: Max, Zeke, and Vivi!

Crowds of people who knew who he was and were pretty much judging his every move. If he tripped and face-planted into the ground or he sneezed and had a bogey momentarily hanging from his nose, the whole world would likely find out. Really, playing against many of the best Quidditch players in the world? He was pretty comfortable with that. But press events and important fan interactions like today?

Yeah. It was no mistake that Max had started outside with his friends and stayed out there as long as possible.

He tried to slip into the tent unnoticed, not making eye contact with a soul - he was lucky he didn't have to go far as the Arrows table was right on the end. He heaved a sigh when he was situated, then just as he went to nudge Dylan in greeting, there was a little boy peeking up at him with wide eyes.

"Errr... uuhh... THANKS!" he finally blurted, evidence that he hadn't lost his voice at all. "You play really good, I'll have your shirt one day too... once I'm allowed." Or once he saved his money - and that wasn't going to happen for a LONG time. The pretty lady person with him was nice too, despite his pushing to get to the front. Whooooopsy. "Sorry, you go first," he conceded, though he hoped some soft puppy dog eyes would mean he could keep his spot here, latched to the table. He wasn't moving. Nope.

Instead, he returned his big hazel eyes to the Keeper. The EPIC Keeper, that was super cool and stuff... he was staring again.

And then to make her way over to the Arrows. Dylan got a big wink and another blown kiss, but then all of Vivi's attention was for Max. And the mini Max. No, honestly, the young boy wearing a James jersey and eagerly swapping secrets with Max just did something to the stalwart Auror's insides. She felt like she was turning into jelly, and she didn't like feeling like that. Jelly feels were a bit too normal!girl for Vivi tastes.

"I thought I was your biggest fan, but it looks like I've been replaced." Vivi crossed her arms across her chest, across her OWN James jersey, and gave the kid a once over. The stern look only lasted a second before she offered her hand to him with a grin. "It was good while it lasted. Well played, mate. I like your jersey."

After Max's nudge, Dylan grinned because bromance reasons...and then ruffled the kids hair. "I play well because my team keeps the bludgers away. It's hard dodging those bad boys." Yea...it really was. Obviously, he was a professional with his agility...but yea. Bloody difficult all the same...

"I'm a James fan, too. It's all good. Have fun." Nope, he wasn't at all offended that the little man wasn't wearing his name. And....hello, Vivi.

After innocently giving her some appreciative looks...because she was a bombshell and ahem....he left them to it.

SPOILER!!: Selina!

She also noticed that people had said hello to her. Namely Logan and LITTLE ELLA. Who was an adult with her own adult life and adultness and things and when did that HAPPEN? More importantly, when did she get old? Ugh.

They both got nods and waves in their direction too. Yes, even the one married to the alien. Logan got the LOOK. Xaria was fine, though. NO alien blood there.

...she had checked. Ahem.

Last, but not least in that little crowd, although he was pulling a serious pout face, was the Arrows Seeker. What was that face for? They had gotten ready together EARLIER...it wasn't like he hadn't seen her. Pleeeeeease, Dyl.

And she was still a little peeved at him. He had broken like five of her quills. So why was he looking at her like that? Hmm?

Hmph. HMPH

Stepping over to Cookie and Selina...because he hadn't talked to Kurumi in a very long time and it could've been awkward, Dylan dropped a kiss to Sel's forehead. Publicly. Meaning Prophet article or not, no one needed to get ideas. He would retaliate.

"Kurumi, it's nice to see you again." Perfectly polite and friendly, he was. Selina loved her and Dylan was done holding a grudge. "Congratulations on the marriage." He hadn't done so and felt compelled. "...If you ladies will excuse me..."

Winking to Sel...because yes, they had come together and spent most of the day prior...hanging out, he was off to talk to a former housemate.

SPOILER!!: Sierra!

That still felt kind of weird to Sierra, who saw herself as just an ordinary person still playing a sport she loved. Especially with Kurumi standing nearby--that made it seem just like another day at Hogwarts with the Slytherin Quidditch team. Ahh, good times. Speaking of the Snakes, she suddenly spotted Dylan across the tent and gave him a quick wave before turning back to the woman before her.

"Oh, sure. What's your son's name?" she asked. And what did the woman want autographed?

Just a wave? No, ma'am.

Strutting over to the Harpies table, because it was just how he walked, Dylan waited his turn to talk to THE Sierra Greingoth. She looked father fierce today, too...

"I hope you didn't think I wasn't coming over here to see you..." Smirk. Man, it was good to see her.

As her friend spoke to Iwin, Esme glanced again to the table next to theirs, giving Jack a small smile through her blush as he tried to remember her name. "Oh, it's Esme.. and really, no worries. We've never formally met and I've only been on the starting line-up this past season." But of course, people knew who he was. He'd been a star player for years.
Jack grinned. "Well, nice to officially meet you, Esme," he told her. He truly meant it too - it was nice knowing players from the other team. It helped him feel slightly better about beating them because he knew they didn't take it personally that he was just so good at his job. Hehe.

And, yes...she did have a fan.

Barny's fist pumps earnt the mascot a few more cheers from Nia, and she grinned as the Bat came back to give her a big hug. "You're the best, Barny," she said, returning his squeeze. "It wouldn't be the same without ya."

"Oh, no...there's no need to pay," Nia said, as the man reached towards his wallet. "We're here for you as the fans," she added with a smile. "And I meant if you had someone to take the photo. No worry though, I'm sure Jack here won't mind." She looked towards the speaker, a look of 'HELP!' briefly crossing her face. She didn't think she was bad with fans, but this guy's continued silence was, to be quite honest, getting slightly unnerving. She fiddled with her engagement ring, and re-straightened her bangle. The guy did know she was engaged, right?!
"Of course!" Jack said, pipping up right away to once again try to get him to say something, anything, to show that he was like - alive and not having heart failure, you know? Jack would totally play photographer if she wanted.

"Yes, Barny, you caught me--" he teased, his cheeks only blushing a biiit. Thank Merlin he wasn't as shy as he was as a teen. Or this would be incredibly awkward.

Muirgen was pretty, too. Red hair, pretty eyes...all that fun stuff. He nodded at her question, though, a boyish grin painted across his face quite suddenly. "I'm Welsh, yes...as are you, right, Muirgen?" he asked gently. He would be getting her autograph, next, yep. "Gotta' love th' Welsh, right?" he asked, putting on his accent a little thicker for her. Hehe. He felt smiley now, but he tried to be...cool. Yeah, cool. He couldn't let himself blush again. "I still can't believe I get to--" and the bloody mascot was HUGGING Esme now! Merlin! Iwin eyed the thing and just...coughed. Wow. He could tell poor Esme wasn't having any of this--she seemed to dislike it, actually, and just waved half-heartedly at Barny...and raised an eyebrow at Muirgen.

"So do I get a hug, too? I'm no Fruitbat but..." he shrugged. "I'm decent, right?" he asked, clearly teasing, of course...*brooooows*

And now FINALLY for the autograph! He would bounce more if he was younger--and it was accepted for him to be bouncy. But of course, keep up CHILL appearances, Iwin. He smirked slightly as she tried to catch what she was writing to him, but he would get a proper look once she was all done. Things were sure getting crowded in here, and he thought it made it all the more exciting. The babble of energy around them, even the crazy mascots made this event worth coming to. Not that he had a job to take off from, but if he did, he would have, of course, certainly taken off for it!

Esme was speaking to another Quidditch player..Merlin what was his name? Iwin couldn't remember his name for anything! He smiled and waved at him, though..."After Muirgen gives me her autograph, can I have one of yours?" he asked, super polite and such, you know? He wanted as many as he could get, but he had to get the Catapults' ones first! They were his team!
"Of course," Jack said with a smile, happy to be giving an autograph to someone. He had gotten really good at the art of loopy signatures these past few years since his reputation started to really pick up. Big loopy J, big loopy F - that was pretty much all there was to it at that point!

But whatever. Team unity and whatever.

Standing on her tippy toes Kalla Ogden peered over the crowd in search of Jack or Nia. She could hide behind them, right? Because like... yeah.
Oh look! Their last player! Jack waved at her, but she had spotted them and was already heading over. Jack liked Kalla, and hoped she'd be moved from reserves pretty soon. Everyone deserved the chance to play in the big leagues!

"Hello Kalla! Good day for autographs, yeah?" he said with a small chuckle. It was really starting to pick up now...LOTS of people. Lots of fans. Oh boy.

Where was the rest of his team? It was a perfect event to gain even more fans. More than the several hundred thousands they had. No biggie. Shrug.

Baltazars and their ego.
OoFf! Bossman dude didn't know his own strength. Oliver almost stumbled forward thanks to the brute force of that smack on the back.. Which position had the dude played again? Beater? Most likely. He regained his balance and straightened his awesome suit.

Xavier knew Oliver's game. Arriving late to make an entrance. ...'Cept there weren't really enough people here to do that. “That's the idea.” He replied honestly, beaming from ear to ear. "So is the plan just to sit and wait for the fans to arrive?" This was totally awesome, man. Totally awesome. Whoever had come up with the idea for this was awesome.

He took his place next to Rich at the Falcons table, greeting him with a, “Hey, man.” He stretched his arms, then, unable to sit still for all of a second, picked up a marker pen and turned over a poster, doodling a guy on a broom on the back. He added a quaffle and a mop of curly hair. No guesses as to who that was. Hehe.

SPOILER!!: Saff

She'd gotten her parents to take it down off the wall, added even more glitter to his BIG flapping hair and rolled it up.

Waity. Waity. WAITY.

OH THERE HE WAS.

"UNCLE OLIVERRRRRRRRRR!" The seven year old wiggled her head so her hair flapped around a little bit too and she ran in the direction of the table he was sitting at. YADA YADA YADA. She didn't care what team it was or the other sitting with him. They weren't her favourites or her UNCLE.

"Mummy said you'd sign my poster and give me a kiss."

And he wouldn't let her MUMMY down, right? Hands. On. Hips.
But OH OH! FANZ! FANZ WERE ARRIVING!

N'AWW! LOOK WHO IT WAS!

Oliver BEAMED. “Hey, little Saffy Saffron.” He greeted the small girl. He got up out of his seat and went arrrround the other side of the table so he could talk to her, crouching down so he was at her level. “A kiss and a signature.. hmmm..” Oh the hands on the hips were so cute. What a little cute little madam. Bit like her mummy minus the cute. *snort*

“Only if I can have a Saffy hug too.” He bargained with a smile. Lori had the cutest kids. Merrrrlin, how did THAT happen?

SPOILER!!: Mariel

"Oliver.. so glad you could make it out today," she said with a smile. "How's the family?" Maybe they came too? It was that sort of event.
Ah more fanz... only this one wasn't a fan at all. Oliver recognised the woman instantly and BEAMED at her. Not only a fellow Quidditch player, but a former Hogwartarian.

“Hey, Mariel.” He greeted, getting up from the chair he had settled into once again to go and talk with her. “Cam said she'd try and make it with the kids but you know how things are.” Busy. BUSY. That's how things were. “And how are you?” Did she have a family? Was it rude to ask? Maan.. he didn't know.. Best not to ask.. Best not to be the guy who put his foot in. Best not go there.
