Muirgen smiled brightly as Barny came over to her and high!fived!! him! She couldn't help but chuckle at the mascot as he dramatically ducked to avoid the bludger, though she didn't let the entertainment make her miss the bludger smashing the target!! "Ohhhh, amaziiin'!!" Muirgen beamed at the young woman. She turned to the little adorable family. "Mummy's got a priiize, yaaaaaay!!!" She exclaimed happily to the babies as she herself bounced up and down with her arms up in the air. The Beater chuckled as Barny hid behind her and turned back to the blonde, smiling. "You can choose whatever you want from that table by there!" The redhead gestured towards where the plushies, posters and badges were.

"There, there, Barny, it's gone now." The Welsh beater chuckled again as she patted the bat's head, but her eyes were already back on the little girl. "Nice to meet you, Dylan! I'm Muirgen!" She held out a hand as she smiled. "How are you likin' this day so far??" Her sing-song accent only made her sound even happier!

There had been the reply she’d expected. If Robert had argued that Dylan actually had needed to butter them up to get anything, Elizabeth would have argued right back. Honestly, that was another of the rather amusing pastimes, considering they never argued about anything particularly important. Their daughter certainly was important, but that was besides the point. It was the downside to both having been Ravenclaws, maybe. Debates were amusing, but right now, unnecessary. He’d admitted that she had him wrapped around her finger, and the hilarity of listening to him go on to continue to convince her they should go on vacation was rather distracting anyhow. Along with keeping an eye on Dylan to make sure she didn’t get hit by any of the bludgers.

“Have we ever gone on vacation?,” she mused. They’d sort of gone away when they’d gotten married, only so it was easier for him to avoid dealing with his father, but he’d had Quidditch all the time. Any real vacations were few and far between. She couldn’t remember any they’d gone on as a family, but that wasn’t what he was suggesting. She’d only shaken her head as the inevitable response happened. The season always took precedence, but she also believed him when he’d said her cousin could handle the kids. Dylan was old enough to help, anyway. As he had continued trying to sell the idea to her, she’d grinned. She knew exactly what was on his mind there. “Every need, huh?,” she replied.

The bat was silly. He’d made Dylan smile, anyway, with all the high fives, funny dancing, and even the dramatics related to the bludger. Especially the hiding behind the woman who had spoken to her but was now talking to the other woman who had hit said bludger toward the target. The costume had to provide some sort of protection. More than any of them had just standing there, but she knew she was good at ducking if any got too close. Either that, or she’d try her hardest to hit it away from her. She knew both her parents were watching her, too. She had to prove herself.

She had smiled gain when the woman had turned back to her, though. “That’s a pretty name,” she said thoughtfully. It was more interesting than hers, anyway, even though she knew hers wasn’t exactly normal compared to either of her parents’. The accent was still fascinating her, too, and she’d taken her hand easily. She felt a little like an adult, which was nice. Not just a little kid. “I’m having fun. There’s lots to look at here,” she’d answered, adding a nod for good measure. Lots to do, too, but the best part was getting to spend time with her dad when they weren’t at home or at a Quidditch match.

Ethan turned his eyes back to Minerva again as the bludger came back, grinning as she hit this one a bit harder. "There.. you got it!" Hit the target and everything, he knew she could do this. "Did you see Mommy hit the ball?" he asked Gunnar, bending down near the stroller, as he heard the boy's excitement. Hmm? He glanced up at Min, hearing her words about the cat. Oh.. Of course Gunnar was looking for that Elise and he couldn't help but to chuckle.

"Sure, sure, whatever you say, Elise," he laughed. She could believe that if she wanted, but they all knew the truth. He got that cat before he even knew Elise. But it had made for some pretty funny misunderstandings back when they were all in school together. Oh she wanted to hold Chloe? Well, who wouldn't.. and he thought that would be okay. "Sure.." he started, walking back around to the front of the stroller to gently pull her out of her seat while Min readied herself for the next bludger.

Cradling his infant daughter in his arms, he held her out for Elise to take as he listened to her speak. "Oh that's great.. not surprised though," he said with a grin. "You always were a pretty fantastic beater." That lifestyle was never for him though and he chuckled when she guessed what he was doing. "Yeah, I work in the Environmental Department with Herbology at the German Ministry." He guessed that wasn't all that surprising either but he did enjoy his job.

He turned his green eyes on the beater lady that was tending to Min as she exclaimed about a prize. "Did you hear that, Gunnar?" He looked down at his son. "Mommy's going to get a prize.." For him, he would assume as she mentioned that in the beginning and those mascot plushies were just begging for a kid to pick them up.. he wondered which he would like best. "Here comes another!" He should have known the boy would love to watch his mom hitting the iron balls.

He didn't see Elise anywhere but Gunnar soon forgot all about that because the ball was coming again. Blue eyes snapped to it as he watched Mommy hit it again, and again he squealed and clapped his hands. That was exciting! Maybe he could play with the ball too? He was still pretty excited and he bounced in his seat a bit, grinning at the excited lady (Muirgen).

Mommy, Daddy, and the other lady (Elise) were talking and he watched them for a moment, his eyes following Daddy as he got Chloe out of the stroller. Where was he taking her? Gunnar wanted out of the stroller too and he reached his body that way. "Ah.. AH.." he babbled, soon stopping when he saw the big cat thing (Barny). His eyes wide when he ruffled his hair, Gunnar stared at him for a moment till he saw another ball coming. OH!

Minerva was feeling pretty good about hitting that bludger. It felt good to have her bat in her hand again. She missed playing, not that she would have went pro, no she wasn’t that good, but still she enjoyed the game. Grinning towards Muirgen she looked at the table of prizes. “Gunnar want to help mommy pick one out?” Did that mean she was done? Not that she couldn’t be done, but it was so much fun to hit the bludgers. Seeing the bat come near them and hide behind the professional, Minerva laughed, “Oh you better watch, I’m so dangerous with this thing.” She was joking of course, Minerva McCarthy with a bat was as scary as a pygmy puff going to attack.

Noticing a little girl Min waved towards her as well. She was listening to Elise as well and heard she was a beater for the Pride, which was awesome. “That’s great Elise, see much better than I ever could be.” Grinning as she wanted to hold Chloe, which was totally fine. “We should try to get together sometime.” Merlin knew it would be nice to hang out with some friends again.

Hearing Ethan she turned just in time to see the bludger coming back at her, well she did have a bat. So she swung hitting it again, this time she didn’t wait to see if it even hit the target. She handed the bat back over, “This was great thank you.” Then walked towards the stroller. “It really is great seeing you today Elise.” She leaned down and picked up Gunnar. “Let’s see which team is going to be your first favorite based on the mascot.” She grinned and walked him over to the prizes. As she went over she looked towards Barny, “Once he picks out a prize would you mind getting a picture with him and my daughter?” She couldn’t resist the pictures. They would be so cute.

Ah and there was one of her team's beaters! She could always ask for pointers from Elise if her aim was completely off. Amelia had a distinct feeling that the Portree team would be shocked to learn that their team's healer actually KNEW how to play the sport (and was quite skilled at it too).

Waving over at the beater, who seemed preoccupied talking with a couple and their children, she wondered if Elise would even notice her.

Picking up one of the bats at the station, Amelia held it for a moment or two, reminiscing as she felt the weight of it in her hand. It seemed no flying necessary. Just wait, swing, hit, win. Easy enough.

ooc: yes, we're assuming they know each other even though Amelia is like way older, considering Amelia is the Pride of Portree team healer ;D. Feel free to ask me if you want more details <3
