Toshi walked into the common room wearing a big grin.
He walked over to the team and patted their backs. "It was a great game! Very well done!" he said, still grinning.

Then he spotted Rachel, ran over toward her and hugged her tightly. "The game was awesome, wasn`t it?"

Rachel was just about to take the final bite of her sandwich when it suddenly fell to the floor and she found herself enveloped in a tight hug. Toshi... See, that's why I love him!
She giggled and hugged him back as well. Letting go, she pouted as she looked down at her last bit. "Ahh... That's always the tastiest," she said with a comical sigh. Grinning again, she looked up at her boyfriend and nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, it was absolutely fantastic!"

"Yeah, it was! Im so glad we won!"
Then he noticed that Rachel`s sandwich had fallen down onto the floor.
"Oh I´m sorry!", he picked the sandwich up from the floor and pointed his wand at it. "Tergeo!"
Then he handed it back to her and sat down onto a chair on Rachel`s side.

Ryan jerked around in surprise. He thought he was the only one there, but Elizabeth had appeared! His mouth was filled to the brim with sandwiches, but he momentarily forgot and spat out a "hewwo." Utterly embarrassed by the fact that he spoke with his mouth full, he quickly chewed and swallowed his food before adding, "Great job today! You were brilliant out there!"

OOC: I totally lawled at your food talking.

BIC: Ryan couldn't help but laugh at Nigel. This kid was starting to turn into Ryan! It was both endearing...and kind of scary to see what he was like.

"My little protege!" he shouted as he ran over to the kid to lightly punch him on the arm. "You! You were fantastic out there for your first year! Where did you learn to fly like that? I sure didn't teach you."

"No you," he began, "were brilliant. That is some of the best seeking I've ever seen." They were coming from all sides now! AHHHhh!!! If only he could just give them all a giant group hug like he wanted to. These were some of his best friends, and now they were even MORE his best friends for winning the cup a second time.

Ryan had gone back to eating and wasn't expecting a flying tackle at all. He was politely ba-chomp. ba-chomp, ba-chuey chuey chomping on his new sandwich, which was almost gone. BAM! He was blindsided by little Becca. "Oomf," he gasped as the wind was forced out of his diaphragm. "You're squeezing me too hard! He was gasping for air (dramatizing the situation, as usual) and kind of laughing.

"Yes, we did, Becca!" he said smiling at her. "And it was glorious! I just wish you could have shared it with us." Then he looked around and remembered that, in fact, she was sharing it with him. "Oh."

Ryan chuckled when his old friend Jezz came streaming into the party. "Thanks," he said when she complimented him? The team? Whoever she was complimenting...he thanked her for them.

"Uhh....well, sort of? I met her last year. This little Mighty Mite here subbed for me in the championship match last year and smashed it! She's quite the feisty little beater."

Jezz laughed. She had played quidditch with the girl the term before. "I was referring to her uhm proximity." She giggled. Tackle-pouncing people had always been her job. "Have you seen Twone anywhere?" She asked, searching for her disappearing boyfriend.

Nigel grabbed a glass of juice and downed it in 1 gulp, washing to excess food the rest of the way down his throat. He gave a slight cough and determined that he wasn't going to be sick.

"Where did I learn to fly like that you ask?" Nigel had several interesting stories that went through his head that he could lie about and say that they had done that instead (the most interesting of which involved a broomstick kidnapping in which he took on 3 full grown wizards and stole on of there brooms 2 summers ago). In the end he decided he was better off telling the truth. "My older brother and me used to play in the summer before he went off on his travels," he missed his brother he was a good guy.

"Nice keeping skills today though Ryan!" he commented happily. He grinned a bit at the end as he added, "I also noticed that their captain couldn't keep her eyes off you," and with a final smirk added, "And vica versa."

She smiled and took the sandwich. "Thanks, but I prefer them fresh," she said and threw it into the bin. She sat back down next to Toshi and put her head on his shoulder. "But thanks for trying anyway," she said with a soft smile and put her hand on his cheek. She contemplated summoning another sandwich, but then discarded the idea as it could mean trouble for people in it's path. After all, I learned it from a book not a class...

Becca beamed from ear to ear at her new hero. "I know what you meant," she replied upon his hesitation. "I would have loved to play, too. Last term was a blast." Their celebratory party was one of the most exciting times she had experienced at Hogwarts.

As some Ravenclaw girl approached them, Becca then realized she was still on Ryan, and she quickly rolled off. Her face flushed a light red and she smiled proudly as he boasted about her. "Dang right. Glad you know it," she smirked. Yeah - she knew she totally rocked it last term. "Of course, I could never have as much skill as Ryan here," she told the older girl. "He's the best Quidditch player ever." She sighed adoringly and realized... she might just be in love. o.O

Late as usual, and trying to be sneaky about it, Willow poked her head inside the common room before allowing the rest of her body to do so. Well, this place was rather packed, was it not? But of course it was. This was a party, due to the fact that they had won the Quidditch Cup for the second time in a row. They had beat the Badgers for the third time in a row! HA!.

And... was that music? Her large forest green eyes opened wide or a second. Was that even aloud? Wasn't having music inside the common room against the rules? She certainly hoped it wasn't, because Ravenclaw was way too behind in the Quiddicth cup. Not that it matter much--the term was basically over, and it seemed they would end up in last place this term.

Well, at least they had the Quidditch cup. Which was a good thing. A seriously good one.

Beaming widely --which wasn't a common thing, for her smile was normally half smile or a snicker-- the not exactly tall fourth year practically prance her way towards the food table, and grabbed a sandwich. Turning to look at Ryan who had Rebecca clinging to him, Willow patted his shoulder awkwardly --bare with her, touching people was not something she did often-- before saying, "We did again, captain! We beat the Badgers again!" Take that, Weird Boy. And Rapunzel.

Good thing she kept that comment to herself. Willow was certain Ryan would not have liked the last part of it.

"We won!" Cale came running through the room tooting on a rather large noise maker and tossing Confetti around. "We won! You hear that?"
He grabbed Ryan by the shoulder and shook him totally oblivious in his excitement to the fact that it was indeed Ryan who he was shaking so vigorously. "Wooo" A shower of confetti rained down over Ryan's head as Cale went running off tooting on his horn again.

Patricia passed through, grabbing a couple of sandwiches and some pumpkin juice, not feeling that festive. Fine they had won the Quidditch cup...but what happened to the Ravenclaws with their school work? Patricia had worked herself into a frazzle, trying to keep up with the bloody workload. The ravvies had been 1st or 2nd place for a long while. And now they were 4th? By nearly 3000 points???? She was really confused by now. The teachers didn't help her state. They kept putting up their homework assignments in different places. Why couldn't they just have one place to put it up anyway. She had missed a few assignments for that very reason.

She looked over her shoulder, happy for the Quidditch team... but disappointed in her House. Rather than be downer for everyone celebrating, she crept up to her sleeping quarters, ready for a bit of sleep.

Ludo entered the Common Room, smiling.
"Excellent, a party!" he thought.

He'd hoped something like this would happen. Ravenclaw had kept the Cup for the second year in a row!
Ludo made his way around the crowd, glancing up at the ceiling.
"Professor Vindictus' work no doubt." he thought.

As he stood amongst the crowd, his ears perked towards the WWN playing a Weird Sisters song. Bobbing his head slightly, his mind was cleared of the stress of O.W.L.s that had nearly ended. He'd found a lime green rose petal in his robes just that morning after his Charms practical, having to summon flowers with the Orchideous Charm and then add a Color-Change Charm on them all. Ludo couldn't glean anything from the official who'd conducted his exam, but he wasn't concerned.

It was time to celebrate.

Jenn laughed. "Yep!!!"she exclaimed.

Jenn looked up and giggled. "No really?"she said sarcastically. She smiled. "I'm great. You?"

Liz walks over to the table, and grabs a sandwich. Looking around she spots her teammates, talking, but she feels more like being alone. She takes a very small piece of the cake, and goes to sit by the fire.

"I'm great too. Excited as well..." she said eagerly, her cheeks still flushed from cheering and running to the common room. "So, what have you been up to during the last days of the term?" she asked as she sat back down, signaling to Jenn to sit down too.

Jenn smiled and sat down next to her. "Not much. Just reading and such. Nothing exciting."she said, sighing.

"Yeah, me too. Did you enjoy the game?" she asked, a little more calm now. She looked a little worried as Jenn sighed. Don't tell me it's Biff again... I'm going to kill that guy. She wondered whether it would be the all right to ask what was wrong. Then again, she said she's great so I guess that means that whatever it is, she doesn't want to tell me. She made a little sigh of her own and looked at Jenn, waiting for her to reply.

She nodded. "Ya. It was good. Did you?"she asked. Jenn watched Rachel closely. She sighed again. "How are things with Toshi?"she asked.

Ryan chuckled a bit before telling the girl that he had not, in fact, seen her....apparent boyfriend around. Man...he had really been out of it this term doing all that studying! It had paid off, though.

"Well," Ryan began jubilantly, clapping his hand on the boy's shoulder, "Tell your brother thank you for giving me such a fantastic flier!" If only he had had a brother like the one Nigel had....he might be even better!

"Thank you," he responded, smiling brightly. "I was a bit off my game today, as I'm sure the whole team could see....what with playing against my girlfriend and all. I haven't actually been in direct competition with her in a match since my first term on the team when we were both seekers. I'm not going to lie - it was a bit nerve-racking."

He almost snorted his drink. "What can I say? She's a knock-out!"

"I can see a very bright future in quidditch for you," he said to the second year. "You have the potential to be even better than me in no time!" It was too bad he would never see that day, what with him graduating next year and all. But he didn't want to think about that. It was time to party!

In response to her compliment, Ryan said, "Well.....I would disagree with saying the 'best,' but I know I'm good." He smirked. There really wasn't much else he could do. He was totally smug.

"Everyone!" Ryan shouted to the crowd when he saw his ferocious beater sneak in. "Willow's here! Now we can start the real party!" He smiled her a sneaky smile before telling her what a great job she had done in the match. She had sure saved his butt many-a-time.

"We sure did!" he shouted, so excited that his voice cracked. "I believe a threepeat is in order," To that, he raised his cup o' punch as a toast and took a swig. Mmmm. Punch.

Before he could defend himself, Ryan was almost shaken to death by the prefect, with whom he had had much less interaction than he would have liked. This kid was a little strange....Ryan liked strange. Ryan laughed and relished in the confetti that was now falling on his face and in his hair. This moment could not get any better. Well...it could if a certain someone was there. He hoped she wasn't too bitter.

"Yes, it was amazing! And things are ok. We don't really get to see each other very often, but when we do it's great. So how about you? Are you over the idiot?" she asked, feeling a little bad for bringing it up. Although, it sometimes help to talk about it. She smiled encouragingly, hoping Jenn wouldn't go bitter over this

Rian smiled as Rachel and Jenn talked, looking around the room. She caught sight of Liz, who was looking sort of lonely. "Guys?" she murmured to Rach and Jenn, "I'll be right back, kay?"

She smiled as seh walked over to her cousin. "Hey Liz! Congrats on the cup!" she said, hugging the girl lightly. "Mind if I sit?" she asked, and sat down next to her.

Jenn smiled. "That's great. You to are so cute."she said, smiling again. Jenn giggled. "Ya. Well, I guess. I mean it's kinda hard. I mean sometimes I feel like I'm worthless."she admitted, smiling sheepishly. "I mean, me and him are friends now, but now I think he feels kinda bad, and so he keeps on trying to get me a boy. He's trying to get me with Chris Kaplan? I can't remember his last name. It's something like that. I think though me and him, Chris, are just going to be friends, which is just fine with me. He's a nice guy though."she said, blushing.

Jenn smiled and nodded. "Okay. Don't be long!"she said, watching Rian walk off.

Rachel nodded and laughed. "Really? So now he's like your official personal matchmaker? Nice," she joked, her expression amused. "But who's this Chris Kaplan guy? I don't think I know him... Wait, it's not Kairi's Chris, right?" she asked suddenly, slightly worried. If this Chris was the same one as Kairi's Chris, and Jenn might be his future girlfriend, then we're in for a whole lot of drama next term... She chuckled darkly to herself, really glad that her relationship with Toshi was simple and straightforward.

Rachel's eyes averted to Rian as she departed. "Okay, go and have fun!" she said lightly, grinning as she watched her go. Her smiled faded as she turned back to Jenn, a slightly worried expression on her face now.

Jenn laughed. "I guess you could put it that way."she said, chuckling still. Jenn laughed and put her hands up. "Oh no. He's not. That Chris and I are just friends."she said quickly. She laughed again and then took a bit of her sandwich.

Rachel relaxed and grinned. "So what do you think about this Chris? Do you like him?" she asked and waggled her eyebrows, laughing. She reached out her hand and grabbed another sandwich, careful not to drop it this time. Grinning, she bit into it and relished the taste; I love Hogwarts food!
