The Stands
 

Touy scrambled on to the stands looking around for someone she knew. There she spotted Marie. "Hi Marie Touy called can I sit by you?" "I thought I would watch some of the 1st match. Maybe it will calm my nerves. I know you are rooting for Gryffindor in the 1st match. Do you any of the players very well?"

Marie was happy to see Touy. "Off course you can." She hearded was Touy say & answered:" I'm not sure if they're is going to be a match. I have a bad feeling about the first match. For our team i know Serena. She is a wonderfull player. I can't wait to see you play. I'm sure you'll do fantastic.". Marie was trying to help Touy felling a little more relaxed. She knew that Ravenclaw had an awesome teams. This game would be something to watched.

Erinelle walked up to the stands, kitted out in her beaters uniform. Her porcelain face paler than usual. The normal rose blush on her cheeks was no more. Instead she was shaking and so very nervous. She stood, looking out over the stands seeing the crowd that was there and paled further.

She reached in to her pocket and pulled out a ribbon tying her black raven mane back behind her in a pony tail. She turned around and gave a weak smile to the other Gryffindors befor going back to the locker room. Her pale self shaking.

Marie what do you mean there might not be a match? Do you know something? Who is the Gryffindor captian? Touy was so busy wondering about the other match that she was starting to relax. Marie was so nice she alwas made Touy feel comfortable even though they were in different houses.

Torie decided that she would go down to the stands and see what all the fuss about Quidditch was. She had heard that there was to be a match today and that her friend Erinelle was going to be playing. Torie hoped that she wasn't too late to get a good seat.

Wrapping her robes around her, she carefully climbed the stairs to the stands. A few students were already there and she approached them in the hope that they would allow her to sit with them.

"Hello everyone. Mind if I sit here?" Torie asked in a friendly voice.

No Slytherins so far, Zaza thougt. Well, I'm gonna get a good place, even though it would've been funnier to look at the game with your peers. She rummages through her bag to find a banner that said:

!!!!!!!GO SLYTHERIN!!!!!!!
:lep: Neva and Cameron :lep:
:bludger: are gonna beat them all :bludger:
!!!!!!!GO SLYTHERIN!!!!!!!

Marie was a little sad she thought for a second before answering:" Well first of all we didn't have practice before the matches, wich don't means much but could have been good. Second i'm a little worried about my captain she was very busy lately so i'm afraid if she will be able to show up. Her name is Tia Ray. She's very good." Marie was hopping that if Gryffindor wasn't able to win the Quidditch Cup Ravenclaw would win it. "Oh i forgot to say that i'm in the reserve team. So if they're is a match. Let's hope so, if they need help i might play."

O Marie you on the team how wonderful. I hope you get to play. You never know even with out pratice you may do well. O hope you get to play then I could cheer for you.

Erinelle crept back into the stands once more. She was so nervous and she was hoping to talk to a couple of her friends before the match actually started. Besides, it was against so many of her friends. Cameron, Dis...Ally. She sighed, looking about for some one she knew and her saphire orbs spotted Torie.

She smiled, her pale features had a slight green tinge to it from her nerves and she walked over to her slowly.
"Torie," She said quietly, "I'm so nervous, and i can't find Tia, or Chiyo - other members of the team anywhere." She continued, still shaking from her nerves.

Torie hugged Erinelle. "Don't worry," she said. "Everything will be fine! You do splendidly. I'm sure your other teammates will be here shortly, and if not, I know that there is a girl down there who is an extra and would be glad to play."

O Marie you make me blush thank you I wish I really was unbeatable. It is so wonderful to play its terriffing and exciting at the same time. Flying is so freeing. We do have alot of returning players on our team but on any day you never know who will win because there is so much depend on luck.

She smiled weakly in reply and let go of her. "I have to go to the locker room now," She croaked, "I hope she can play!" she exclaimed before fleeing from the stands, her hair her black halo behind her.

Herlucy walked down to the stands and found herself a good seat.She knew that there was going to be a match today and was looking forward to it.

Marie had the feeling that someone had just talking about her. She turn around to see who that was & she recognize one of the girl. She new that she was beater on the team, but she didn't remember her name.

"Let's just say that Ravenclaw have a very good team & teams seems on the roll. I believe that since i'm here at Hogwarts they won every single Quidditch Cup. Ok! I know it's twice, since it's just my third year. But you guys have always deliver a constant & outstanding game. I know you'll be the team to beat. I'll be extremely shock otherwise.". Marie was really speaking with her heart. She knew she wishes that Gryffindor would win, but she had to be realistic about it. She really was hopping that Touy games will go well.

Atmor walked over to the only Slitherin in the stands and looked at her banner "Hey nice banner" she had been to thousands of Quidditch matches but she felt realy excited about is one

Torie shouted good luck at Erinelle's retreating back and decided to sit where she stood, which happened to be next to a couple of Slytherins.

"Hello! I like your banner." she said brightly. "That must have taken a lot of work."

Well Marie things do change we have alwas had the most house points and look at us now in last place. We just are scattered this term I hope we do well in quidditch so we can add to the points but we are in school to learn so we need to pick it up in class as well. I do hope you get to play. I love quidditch to watch it and to play it,

Marie runs back toward Touy & tell her: " I just come back to tell you that i'm going to play for the match so i can be here with you. Wish me luck". She was very nervous about the game tonight. She runs back toward the locker room in order to make sure everybody was ready for the game.

"Hey Ally whats up?" Atmor noticed Ally and want towards her.

"Oh! Hullo!" Zaza replied. "I'm Zaza, who are You?" Zaza said. "Gryffindor don't have a chance. I mean, we've got Neva and Cameron, and they're gonna beat them all!" She pointed at her banner, chuckled at her own joke and rummaged through her pockets to find a bag of sweets.

"Bertie Botts, anyone?"

Marie I hope you catch the snitch early and good luck Touy called to her friend

Bella giggled and walked up the steps of the stands to find a spot to sit. She scooched past some people and sat down, near one of the ends. She was gonna cheer Jesse on. She hoped that they'd do good.

Atmor smiled "Ya sure they're good" Atmor reached out to her and took some.

"GOOO SLITHERIN, WHOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOO " Atmor screamed and jumped up "GO GO SLI-THERIN" Atmor clapped and cheered

"But they are!" Zaza said sure about her thing. "They're the most awesome witches I've met here so far." The girl hadn't introduced herself, which made Zaza a tad annoyed. She forgot all about it when she noticed something was wrong.

"What!?" Zaza shouted. Those weren't Neva and Cameron. As a matter of fact, she'd never seen them before. She folded her banner and cut it so it said only

!!!!!!!GO SLYTHERIN!!!!!!!

Tristen ran down to the stands. He was a little late to see the beginning of the match but hoped he wouldn't have missed anything important. He sat down about halfway up the stands. Just in time to hear the commentator say the score. "Awesome Gryffindor in the lead!" he shouted punching the air.

"Yay!!!" shouted Torie as Gryffindor scored. Points scored were always good, weren't they?

She folded her arms and placed her cold hands under her armpits. 'Should have dressed a bit warmer.' she thought to herself.

Danni walked into the stands decked out in her Slytherin green cape, robes, hat and scarf. She sat down near the commentater, a Slytherin boy named Jacques if she wasnt mistaken. She smiled at him and pulled out her wand, waving it once and conjuring up a huge banner with the words,

"Slytherin for the cup!!!"

in huge green letters. Danni grinned and hoped she wouldnt yell herself hoarse.

"OH ya im Atmor, wats your name" Atmor streached out her hand "Sorry normally I introduce myself first, why did you fold you banner whats wrong?" Atmor asked taking notice of her folded banner.

Jacques smiled at Julia, and taking his eyes off the game, almost missed Racheya score. He was alerted by the cheering coming from the Slytherin crowd.

"Racheya scores for the Slytherin Team - Scores are tied at 10 each!"

Jacques laughed as Professor Pride conjured a massive Slytherin Pride banner.

Torie cheered again. This was starting to be kind of fun! She looked around to see if the other spectators were enjoying this as much as she was. The Slytherins seemed a little downcast. Torie made up her mind to cheer for all the teams when they scored, regardless of which house they belonged to. She also sent warm thoughts of success in Erinelle's direction. Hopefully she was managing her nervousness ok.

Atmor listened to Jacques *great hes ditracted* she rolled her eyes but secretly wished that he was talking about her

"THATS OK ALLY, GOOOOOOOOO SLYTHERIN GOOOOOOO" Atmor screamed and clapped

has anyone see the snitch I think it really Hiding Touy mubbled to the stand

"Serena from Gryffindor scores yet again, the quaffle just out of the grasp of the Slytherin Keeper" Jacques said, before turning to Julia again.

"Serena is doing well, I hope the Slythies pull back though, it'd be too embarrasing if my house lost. And the beautiful girl is you Julia... if i was talking about Professor Pride you would have slapped me already" he said laughing.

Professor Pride raised her eyes at Julia, "I seem to remember Slytherin made mincemeat out of Ravenclaw in my days... or maybe that was because I was Seeker for that year." she said sticking her tongue out teasingly.

When Julia made the comment about Jacques meaning her, Danni giggled and pretended to fix her hair, "Oh yes that would be me." she said with exagerated arrogance.

"COME ON SLYTHERIN LETS GO GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!" she yelled as the gryffindors scored again.

Atmor clapped some more "GOOOOOOO SLYTHERIN COME ON KEEP GOING,YOU CAN DO IT" Atmor looked around and noticed she was the only one cheering "COME ONN, Slytherins cheer them on " Atmor turned back around and cheered some more "GOOOOOOOO" Atmor jumped up and down

Danni grinned as the Ancient Runes professor sat down beside her, "Hello Allegra, please, call me Danni. And yes Slytherin is the house to pull for, I guess house loyalty doesnt disipate with age." she said with a cheeky grin.

All of a sudden she stood up and shrieked, "THE SNITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! THERES THE SNITCH!!! GRAB IT!!!!!!!"

"Alright then Danni. See I didn't go here so I really don't have loyalty to any particular house here. Slytherin does seem to have some good students in it, though. Like Mr. Beaumont over there." Allegra grinned and pointed to the older boy. She raised a brow at the Ravenclaw girl sitting next to him, though. She seemed to not like Slytherin house but Allegra assumed it was because she was in Ravenclaw.

"GO SLYTHERIN GRAB THE SNITCH GOOOOOO GET IT" Atmor felt a rush of excitement run through her veins "GET THE SNITCH, GOOOOOOOO SLYTHERIN!!!"

Oh I think Marie has caught the snitch

You go Marie Yeah

Julia nodded as Jacques spoke. "She sure is. Ohh, yes. Slytherin definitely deserves to win, just because of you," she smiled. "I hope you realize that I'd never smack you, Jacques. Maybe a blue carrot here and there, but..." She winked and shrugged innocently, then turned to Danni.

Julia simply smirked. "And how long ago was that, professor? Thirty years? Things sure have changed since then," she teased, knowing the professor certainly wasn't that old. She didn't even look old enough to be thirty, but she was enjoying having a moment like this with an adult. Most professors wouldn't stand for the things that she was saying, but Julia sensed something different in Professor Pride. What could it be? Maybe a sense of humor.

Danni glanced shiftily at Julia, "Nine years ago was not that long my dear. And I was negative three thirty years ago." she added with a wink.

Niky ran up to the stands. She searched every player with the Gryffindor uniform, and smiled proudly as she found the person she was looking for. She began to cheer for Gryffindor as loud as she could, she so badly wanted them to win this first match. She looked around the stands for Hunter, but wasn't able to find him. She shrugged, and returned to cheering for the team.

"I thought I already said it," Zaza looks confused. "It's usually the first thing I say when meeting new people." She thought the other girl was so excited about the game she had lost it. "I'm Zaza." she re-introduced herself. "Nice to meet you, Atmor!" she said shaking Atmor's hand.

"Whats wrong?" Zaza almost shouted. "I'll tell you what's wrong." She looked at the other girl like she had asked her what to do with their food. "My friends - well they're quite old, but I still consider them my friends - Neva and Cameron are supposed to be the Slytherin beaters. I made this banner especially for them. And now they're replaced by some people I haven't even seen before!" Zaza looks hurt, but calms down soon. "Any more Bertie Botts?" she asks glad that someone manages to get the good ones of those every flavours, like herself.

Emma walked up all confused. "Can anybody help me?" Emma called.

Phoebe wondered if the hufflepuff girl had heard her. She wasn't answering. She decided to leave it. Ever since Nate asked her to be his girlfriend Phoebe had been so happy in her own little world. Wondering what was happening in the game Phoebe leaned over the edge of the stands to get a better look.
Phoebe cheered loudly as Ebong saved yet another shot. She turned her attention away from the game as she heard a confused voice. Looking rpund she saw a gryffindor. "Hi, yeah I can help. What's up?" Ahe asked cheerfully in a reassuring voice. At least she hoped it was.

"Hello!!!" Emma was really scared.

"GOOOOOOOOO SLYTHERIN -GO-GO SLI-THERIN " Atmor looked at Zaza "thanks. hey maybe its for a good reason dont worry" Atmor took some more an popped a blue bean in her mouth

"Hi. I am new and i dont know wat to do." Emma told her.

Emma didnt know wat to do so she left the stands.

Torie sat forward in her seat. The match was really beginning to fly and she was starting to see what all the hype was about. Quidditch really was an exciting game! She looked down at the field. Was that Erinelle?

Emma got up and cheered for Gryffindor. "GO GO GRYFFINDOR!!!" Emma cheered.

Emma sat down with Pheobe. "i hope Gryffindor is winning."

Zaza decided to stop worrying and cheer their team, like Atmor did.

"GO SLYTHERIN!!!!!!!" she shouted.

Sana hurried up towards the grounds as the first match between Gryffindor V Slytherin already starts. She never watched the game before though she's a second year. She's also in the Hufflepuff's Reserve Team.
And she took the convinient seat to watch the match. She spotted her Gryffindor friend Marie who is a seeker of Gryffindor flying very high in air. She got delighted to watch her as a seeker.
The Score board showed Gryffindor 40 and Slytherin 10 at that moment.

"My name is Emma Radsmith. But you can call me Em." Emma told her. "GO GO GRYFFINDOR! GO GO GRYFFINDOR!!" Emma shouted and cheered on Gryffindor.

Atmor smiled when Zaza started cheerin "GOOOOO YOU GOOO SLYTHERIN, GOOOOOOO" Atmor clapped and screamed a deafening scream "SORRY, SO SORRY" She smiled nevously and kept on cheering "GO-GO-SLI-THERIN, COME ON" Atmor clapped

"Losing? How come?" Zaza shouted to the elder student. She had seen the funny looking boy catch the golden ball. "I thought the game was just starting, and didn't we get a snitch, also?" She looked confused. The books had claimed that as soon you get the snitch, your team has probably won. Well, the rules might've been changed, she thought to herself, as the book she read had been 50 years old.

Emma looked at Phoebe. "My Name is Emma Radsmith. But you can call me Em."

Brittany clasped her blue and gold scarf around her neck and cheered with the rest of the crowd. Then her eyes settled on a familiar face- "Hi Niky." Britt said coming up behind the Hufflepuff girl.

Emma kept cheering for Gryffindor. " GO GO GRYFFINDOR GO GO GRYFFINDOR!!"

"HEY TRELANE OVER HERE, I dont know but this isnt like the games I've gone to" She replied to Zaza "Its like we didnt just catch the snitch,maybe Trey can explain.Trey this is Zaza, Zaza, Trey" Atmor introduced the two and smiled

"Someone just claimed we're losing, but it cannot be, since we already got the snitch." She looked at the boy a bit unsurely, since she didn't know much about the rules. "Hello, I'm Zaza, who are you?" she smiled.

Zaza suddenly notices she's been too concentrated on the events on the pitch to notice what her new friend says. "Oh, sorry, I wasn 't listening. Nice to meet you, Trey!" she reached out her hand.
