Huh!? When had Simon Simpson decided to show up in the stands and WHY wasn't he out THERE flying?! He was a good flyer; Merlin, Fina even knew that and she was a Quidditch novice! "Why aren't you flying today? Is everything alright?" She asked, concern expression over her face as she looked the fifth year up and down.

"ME? Out there?" Hadley blinked at his own question. "You're joking." She didn't play ... She had just barely gotten over her fear of being on a broom last term.

Simon looked at the Professor, when did he have tell them everything it was so annoying sometimes, them asking everything and what had it to do with Professor Hadley. "Professor I don't think you need to know why I'm not out there flying." Simon was ill but there was something more to it but it had nothing to do with Professor Hadley.

"Yeah Professor, with some training I think you could be a good keeper." Simon smiled then it left his face when he saw how much fun the team was having flying around. "I never joke about thinks like this Professor."

This game was not going well for Ravenclaw. The Badgers already had two snitches. "LETS GO RAVENCLW!!!!" She shouted into her megaphone.

Seren turned to see a young Claw, though her head snapped right back to the game within seconds so she wasn't entirely sure of who it was.
"Yes dear... I always support my old House."
No if's or but's about it.

... but things weren't looking too good now.

Ellie must ahve been having an off game.

"COME ON CLAWS!! RALLY!"

...
"I'd ask if you're enjoying the game... but judging by the way the game is going I suppose you had higher expectations also?"

Minerva's face turned red when she heard the professor say the correct name. How could she be so stupid. "I'm so sorry Professor things around here are starting to become all meshed together. I will get thing right soon. Well I hope you have a nice time." Minerva turned quickly to embarrassed to keep speaking with her. Then Minerva saw Alyssa and smiled. "Alyssa come sit. I am so confused right now this is my first match." Right as she was talking to her hufflepuff group she noticed someone in another group. Harvey she decided to wave. She wasn't sure if he would see her or not, but didn't want to be rude.

:claw:

Harvey thought he had heard a familiar voice shouting out Ravenclaws he looked around to see Professor Bentley stood up and really cheering the team on

"[size="4"HI PROFESSOR BENTLEY, GOOD TO SEE YOU HERE![/size]He yelled over everyone else. He was really enjoying his first ever quidditch match way better than any muggle sports he had to admit. He was happy to be here watching this match.

"GOOD JOB HATEYA!" Tori cheered for her friend, even though it was like, totes obvious that Hufflepuff was going to win now. She didn't want to play her friends in the end anyway. "YOU BEAT DEM BLUDGERS!"


She clapped some more and leaned forward a bit, hazel eyes scanning the arena for any sign of the Golden Snitch.

Alright, something was not well with Simon and Josephina knew it. But she was also not one to press for information, as she knew, he would come and discuss it with her when the time was right. If the time was ever right. "No need for sass, but please Simon, I'm here if you need to talk." That was part of her job as his house head.

A good keeper? The only thing she was a good keeper for was good at keeping her badgers under control. For the most part anyway. Oh and keeping good lessons. She tried anyway. "Thank you for the compliment. So you offering to help train me then?" Nevermind the fact that the idea of her five foot four self flying around after a small golden ball was quite appealing.
Turning back toward Minerva as the girl apologized, she smiled. "No worries. It happens."

Hearing her name being called out, Seren turned her head in the direction of the sound... where was it coming from.

After squinting at the crowd for a good moment her gaze paused on Harvey. AHA! Harvey!

She gave him a wave and a nod. Good lad that one, and it was good to see him cheering on the Eagles as well.

Turning her attention back to the game to tried to catch up with what she had missed... what was happening?

"FLY YOU MIGHTY EAGLES!!!..."..."and attack with your tallons."

:claw:

Harvey beamed a smile and waved very excitedly when he saw Minnie, he grinned he was very very very glad to see her at this match. He was wondering whether he could sit next to her but he was not sure, she was with a load of hufflepuffs would they allow a ravenclaw to sit among them. He just kept looking between her and the match.

Simon looked at Professor Hadley, he was being truthfully, what was it to do with her his problems. "I'll keep that in mind Professor but I doubt that you could help anyway, unless..." Simon stopped, no she couldn't change his father's mind it would take more than a Professor to change that.

Simon sighed. "I would train you but unfortunatly I'm banned from broomsticks, there to dangerous for someone like me." Simon didn't realise he was telling Professor Hadley his problem. "Professor you did that on purpose." Simon sighed, when he realised he told the Professor his problem.

Ah; students always seemed to doubt her ability to help, but the truth was, she didn't help. Not really. She helped them in helping themselves.

Wait, what?!! Banned from broomsticks? Squinting out onto the pitch in search of Max, she frowned and looked back to Simon. Max wouldn't. Right? "Why would you banned from broomsticks? They're dangerous, yes, but Professor Vindictus knows you're a great flyer." Okay, she may have made that last part up, as she didn't know for sure what Max knew, but Max had to know Simon was good.

:claw:

Harvey heard Minnie cheering at he just smiled very broadly at her and then looked back over to the game clapping with his red hands.

She nodded ''Yes it have gone better but we have a good team''

Seren had been watching the game like a hawkeagle... the chasers, the beaters, the keeper and most importantly... the seekers. Ellie... she had to... save them.

The pressure was mounting, and the game just could not end this way. No.. they could claw their way back.

She was even tempted to close her eyes... just becasue it was too suspenseful, but in the end she was glad she didn't.

"WOOOOO ELLIE!"

"That's it Claws! Games not over yet!"

Simon looked at the Professor and smiled. "It wasn't anyone here that banned me." Simon sighed. "My dad found out in the summer I was playing Quidditch, he found a letter of mine from a friend asking if I was trying out this term and he went mental, he told me someone as important as I am to my country should be risking my life on something so stupid as a broomstick and so if I don't stop he's going to stop me coming here to Hogwarts." Simon looked at Professor Hadley and then tried to change the subject. "I think I know someone who can train you though." He gave her a small smile.

:claw:

He waved eagerly at Professor Bentley, it was good to everyone in the same place eagerly watching this game. He was really enjoying this game and he would have to admit that maybe just maybe he may drop the muggles games for quidditch, He Said MAYBE

Josephina fell quiet as Simon explained about his broomstick ban. Oh. That was sad, but she guessed she rather have him here at Hogwarts and not playing, then not here at all. "I'm ..." She was what exactly?

OH! Distracted, she glanced toward the pitch in time to see Ellie catch the first snitch for Ravenclaw. EEP! C'mon Kita she thought, knowing the seventh year could do it.

Turning back to Simon, she smiled. "I'm sure we'll work something out." She'd talk to Max who would talk to Simon's father and then what? That could be worse; Simon could get pulled from Hogwarts. Oh, she had to think about this.

"So who can help train me?" Besides Treyen, because he was already working with her.

Taking a seat at the stands, Scott was intrigued as to how this match would go. So far it seemed that Hufflepuff was crushing the eagles, so he was eager to bring some clout to the game.

"COME ON YOU EAGLES!" He chanted, in a football like manner.

Rose smiled at Minnie. 'I'm good, thanks, you? This is my little sister, Violet! Her twin is somwhere!' Rose smiled, introducing her sister to Minnie.

'Hello! My name's Violet!' Violet smiled at the girl. SHE WAS ALSO IN HUFFLEPUFF! WOOPEE!

"OHMYGOSH RAVENCLAW CAUGHT A SNITCH!" Tori announced to the fans in the stands. "GOOD JOB, CLAWS!"


She shot a glance over at Professor Bentley and, suddenly feeling inspired, let out a "CAW CAWWWWW!" of her own. Heh. That had been fun.


"IT'S NOW TWO SNITCHES TO ONE, WITH HUFFLEPUFF IN THE LEAD!" Well not in points, obviously, seeing as they had just scored their very first goal. "GOOOOOO RAVENCLAW!"

:claw:

As Harvey was watching Minnie he saw her come over to them, he sighed with relief she was coming here. "Hi.... Minnie" he had to stop himself from calling her sweetheart as he remembered their relationship status. "You enjoying the game Minnie?" he then turned to Rose "What about you Rose?" then he mentally said of course you are the team that you support may win.
