Making her way to the stands after dropping off a box of cookies in the Gryffindor locker room for the team - handing them to Alice and not Selina to ensure their safe delivery - Kurumi found herself completely incapable of not fidgeting with her hands in some way. She was either lacing her fingers together, running them through her long black hair, tugging on her sweater...anything but remaining calm.

Walking past her usual seat, Kurumi made her way towards the rather ominous looking microphone. Oooooooooooh Merlin....

Today was official Lions versus Snakes day, the first match of the Quidditch season that was bound to determine the greater of the two teams. Not choosing a side for the time being, Beezus shuffled her way through the stands, which was empty.

O____________o

Uhh, did Hogwarts not receive the notice that there was a game today? Because the Stands that used to be noisy and hyper every before and after matches was like a ghost town right now. The brunette turned her head around frantically, as if anticipating that this was all a joke. But it wasn't, no one was there yet.

Oh, wait..there was one actually.

"Kurumi!" Beezus called out, jogging off to where the Gryffindor Prefect was. [B"I can't believe it's still so quiet."[/B] ..oh! A microphone?! "...Announcer for the much, eh?" COOLNESS.

With that, the Ravenclaw slumped down to a seat that wasn't too far nor too near from where the action was going to take place. Come on people, show up already!

TODAY IS THE DAY!

He was so much enthusiast about this. Why? Because it was Quidditch match. it became more special because Slytherin would play against Gryffindor! This term actually Gary was on the team, but sadly he wouldn't play for today beause of his injury during the practice. Boo. But maybe it would be better if he watched how their own team play first, then play on the next game.

Tied up his shoelace, buttoned his coat, tightened his scarf and put the Slytherin quidditch badge on his coat, The blonde guy walked to the stands and... *blink*

WHY IT WAS SO QUIET, HUH?

Wait.. They would have a game today, right? Or maybe Vindictus rescheduled the match. No way! Because there's no latest announcement from him about that. Huh. He just took a seat at the front row and saw Beezus was already there too with the Gryffindor prefect. "Hello there." said him cool to them.

Phoenix walked through the stands towards the front, it was the first match of the year, Gryffindor vs Slytherin and Phoenix was along to see if Hufflepuff had a chance of winning this year. That and Quidditch matches were great places to produce some exciting action sketches. She glanced around and was surprised that the stands weren't too full yet, it was still early though... There were a few people here, it would probably pick up soon.

The first Quidditch match of the season was happening on a cold day winter day so Callie was prepared for the weather but not so wrapped up that she wouldn't be able to jump up and cheer for the Gryffindor team when they undoubtedly crushed the Snakes!

She made her way into the Stands dressed in dark jeans, a white sweater under her black fleece coat and a borrowed Gryffindor scarf from Seren; her blonde hair was curled and fell on her shoulders. She starting looking for a seat, waving at the few students already there and then noticed something different...

Walking past her usual seat, Kurumi made her way towards the rather ominous looking microphone. Oooooooooooh Merlin....

"Hello Miss Hollingberry, announcing the game today? That should be Pro-Lion fun. I look forward to your commentary." She patted a gloved hand on her shoulder before sitting just behind her.

Silvia made her way to the stands and found them rather empty. Seemed she was a bit early. Her House wasn't playing this match, but that did not mean she was going to miss it. Sometimes she wished she was athletic and could play herself.

It was a chilly day. Wrapped up in warm clothing, the Ravenclaw soon found a seat. She wasn't sure who to root for, though it would probably be Gryffindor if she rooted for either team at all. She looked around to see who else was here already.

QUIDDITCH. DAY.

This was EXCITING! Which wasn't surprising because this was a Quidditch match and Quidditch matches were always exciting. You know, apart from the Bludgers and all the injuries that could happen in one game.

... Okay, so maybe this was a bit scary as well.

Alec dug his left hand deeper into the pocket of his hoodie as he edged along the seats. His fingers curled around the bag of sweets as a small smile spread across his face. Sweets and watching a Quidditch match... perfect! And he had a flask of hot chocolate so... even more perfect! GRIN.

Wait, where was everyone? BLINK. There were only... some... people here. ... Weird. First he was early to Arithmancy and now he was early to a Quidditch match. Yeah... yeah, this was very weird. And kind of awkward as well. Who was he meant to talk to now?!

Phoenix looked up at a sound to her right and saw a Ravenclaw sit down a couple of seats away from her. So it seemed like she wasn't going to be the only non lion or snake about.
'Hi, I'm Phoenix.' she called over with a warm smile.

Phoenix turned as another sound caught her attention and a Slytherin sat down nearby, brilliant, more people to talk to!
'Hi!' she called brightly.

Ethan walked briskly down to the stands, pulling his cloak tighter around him. It was a cold day... but a perfect day for Quidditch! The fifth year was fairly excited - he hadn't played himself since that bludger accident in his first year, but he was a huge fan. The only thing he was undecided on was who to root for. Gryffindor or Slytherin? If it was Ravenclaw playing, that would be an easy call... but he didn't know any players from either of these two teams. Shrugging to himself, he decided he would cheer on both.. he was sure it would be exciting either way.

As he made his way to the stands, Ethan was a little surprised to see very few students there. Had he gotten the time right? Well, there were at least a few other people there so he decided he couldn't have been wrong.. maybe just a little early. Scanning the crowd for a familiar face, Ethan saw no one he knew.. so he headed for an empty spot near a boy (Alec) wearing a green hoodie. He passed the nutter Divination professor on his way to his seat and gave her a polite nod in greeting. As he sat down, he glanced over at Elwood, wondering who she might be rooting for.. was house would she have belonged to if she was a student here? Weird.. it was weird thinking that she was once a teenage girl roaming the corridors of Hogwarts.

Mentally shaking himself out of those thoughts, he turned to the boy next to him. "Hey, there..." he gave him a nod. "So, rooting for Slytherin today?" he asked, referring to his green clothing - and not noticing the red shoes. Of course the boy could have been in Slytherin for all he knew... and then that would have been a dumb question.

It was finally Quidditch season. Nigel was excited to finally watch some Quidditch. He was more subdued due to it was not his house that was playing . Bit was looking for a good match.

He looks around the stands for some people he would know and sees Beezus and Professor Elwood. He wondered why Elwood was here so early. But whatever, he also sees that Kurumi is doing the commentating. Wow, That is awesome. Nigel wonder how she will do.

Nigel walks by Elwood and say "Hello, Professor Elwood." He then walks to where Beezus is and takes a seat. "Hey Beezus. How are You?"

So seeing as he didn't really know anyone else sitting in the stands and... he was a bit bored, Alec took out his bag of sweets and ripped it open. A gleeful expression spread across his face as he fished out the first, sugar coated gummy worm and placed it into his mouth. Nomnomnom.

And then a bright, cheerful voice started speaking to him. ... Yeah... this was awkward now. Because the girl, whoever she was, had greeted him and he had a mouth full of gummy worms. Great move, Summers. Brilliant. He reached up a hand and awkwardly started patting the back of his beanie, trying to chew the sweet as quickly as possible.

Chew... chew... chew...

SWALLOW. "Hey, I'm Alec!" GRIN. He didn't have some leftover sweets in his teeth, right? "Erm... Alec Summers. Nice to meet you!" ... Oh! And there was that handshake thing, right? Yeah... Alec held out his free, non sugary fingered hand for the girl. Awesome! NEW PERSON!

Wait... where were his manners? "Do you want some sweets?" GRIN.

Tap... tap... tap...

This was taking ages. Why had he even rushed down here in the first place? There was still quite a bit of time left until the game and... well... he could have taken more time to fix his hair have some food! You know, even if the tables in the Great Hall were missing and they had to eat on the floor. Yeah... what was that all about?!

Alec shrugged and started eating some more sweets. At this rate, he was probably going to end up finishing all of these before the match started! Like... like that time when Cerulean let them watch movies in the cinema place and he ended up finishing all of his popcorn before the movie started. He looked down at the bag and curled the top of it up, just so he wasn't tempted to eat some more.

...

NEW PERSON. GRIN. "Hey! I'm Alec! Erm... Alec Summers," ... Even if it was winter right now. Heh. ... Supporting Slytherin? Right! Yeah! Because he was wearing a green hoodie! "I am but... erm..." At this, the fourteen year old lifted his legs and rested his feet on the back of the seat in front of him. He wriggled his feet around a bit before grinning at the dude. Converses! "I'm supporting Gryffindor as well. Who are you supporting?"

QUIDDITCH! BEAM. BEAM. BEAM. It was here! Finally! The first match! Ella lived for this, excitement filling her tiny body from her head to the tips of her toes. This was going to be a great game!

The third year bounced all the way to the stands, looking around for familiar faces as she munched on some gummy worms. She GRINNED when she spotted Kurumi, knowing that the older girl was probably a bit nervous about her first announcing job. The badger gave her a friendly smile and a thumbs up, hoping that might help calm her nerves a bit. Psh. She didn't need to worry, though! She'd do great!

And there was Alec! Grin! He wouldn't mind if she sat with him, right? Not that he really had a choice. She was already headed in his direction and wearing a smile. Plopping herself down, she turned to her friend and BEAMED. "This is SO exciting!" Bounce. Bounce. Bounce. "And so many people we know are playing...which is nice...cause we can cheer for them all!" Which is what Ella had planned on doing anyway. "Oh! And would you like some gummy worms?" But of course he did, yeah?

Elliot was ready...to cheer for her second favorite house. The house of her father's, her family's. And she felt like she HAD to cheer for them...Just because her boyfriend was a Gryffindor didn't mean that she HAD to cheer for them..though, her mother WAS in that house..her father was clearly more important.

Ahem.

She spotted Beezus, and sighed...her face flushed a little bit. She decided she might as well...go talk to her..."Beezus," she nodded at her. Yeah. Elliot couldn't believe she had...told her all that stuff last night. She wished she hadn't...

She spotted Ethan, too. Where were Cora and Hannah, then, hmmm? She smirked at him...and waved. "Hey Ethan!" she said, really starting to like this guy. He was nice...and a bit on the sarcastic side, which always impressed Elliot.

She wondered who she was rooting to get with him..Cora or Hannah? She thought about her options...if Cora got with him, well, she saw Cora more often...you know, in the same house, but...hmm. Hannah was...

ERGH.

This might put Elliot in a REALLY awkward position...

QUIDDITCH TIME.

WOOOOOOOT. Blue was practically tripping over herself as she ran down to the pitch. The only thing she was not so excited about was the fact that Slytherin and Gryffindor were playing against each other. Which meant she had to kinda choose between some of her closest friends. But, in the end, she chose to support SLYTHERIN. Cause Theo'd be angry if she didn't. And nobody likes an angry Theo. Nope.

She hopped down a couple of benches and plopped her self down.

GIGGLE.

Phoenix laughed as Alec frantically tried to finish the sweets he was eating to talk to her and hold out a hand to shake.
'Pheonix, Phoenix Talisman, I'm sorry if I almost made you choke.' she said with a warm smile and shaking his hand.

Her smile brightened when he offered some of his sweets and she shifted her sketchbook so she could take a couple.
'Thank you, gummy worms, one of my favourite sweets!' Phoenix exclaimed, gracing him with yet another smile.

Eleyna was so excited to be at her first game here at Hogwarts. Coming from a cheerleading background, she decided to dress in a cheerleading uniform especially dedicated to the Gryffindor house. She found a decent spot to place her duffle bag and pulled out her pom-poms. Her hair was in a half ponytail as her long red waves hanged loosely down her tall, curvy athletic body. On her face she had some art, on one cheek she had the Gryffindor lion and on the other she had her favorite lucky number #16. She was also wearing some gold and red glitter, just to add a little more spirit. She was ready to cheer for her housemates!

Maxwell walked out to the stands..he really wanted his team to win so he could rub it in people's faces...but if not, the game should be fun anyways.

He spotted Elliot, looking as cute as ever and snuck up behind her, silently. "You're lucky you look good in Green and Silver or i'd be mad you're rooting against me.." He said and kissed her cheek. "Hi..."

He turned to Beezus and Ethan, Ethan whom probably thought he was a jerk but whatever and nodded. "Hey.." He said to both of them.

Alec gulped. He didn't know why, but he was started to grow really worried that he was going to run out of sweets. How was he meant to sit through an entire Quidditch match without sweets? That was ridiculous. No one could do that. Or... well... no one who liked sweets and eating could do that.

Yeah... he needed someone like Ells or Messy to come along.

And speaking of Ells... wasn't that her? Yeah, it had to be! That flock of blonde hair was all too familiar to him. Alec GRINNED WIDELY at the sight of the girl. She was awesome company, Ella was. She liked Quidditch as well and she was bound to have sweets and they could talk about their match the next day and... yeah! That was a lot of awesomeness! GRIN.

The grin on the young Hufflepuff's face grew wider as the girl approached him and sat down next to him. And she seemed so excited! See, he could rely on her to be excited about Quidditch and to have sweets with her! "Yeah! Yeah, we can cheer for everyone who's playing!" GRIN. "And... erm... hopefully Theo won't get hit by any Bludgers. Or Alice... Or Tag..." Bludgers were too dangerous. AND SHE HAD SWEETS! GRIN. "You already know the answer so... thanks Ells!" he said, taking a few worms. PERFECT!



Was that...?

IT WAS! GRIN.

It was a bit weird seeing Bluetiful in green. Alec was used to seeing her in the dark blue of Ravenclaw. But... this meant that she was supporting Theo, right? She had to be otherwise... well... Theo might get mad and start claiming that people were in love again. Or start shouting. Yeah... that wouldn't be good.

"Bluetiful!" GRIN. "Erm... do you want to join us?" They did have sweets, after all. And none of them were chocolate frogs! And... and... they could all just sit and relax and not have to worry about the fact that they were going up against each other the very next day. That would just make things awkward, right?



Alec grinned as the girl laughed at him. It was weird that he was being laughed at because... people didn't really laugh at him. And he wasn't exactly a funny guy. But he had made the girl laugh so... that was awesome! And it made him a bit happier as well.

Phoenix? "Awesome! Nice to meet you, Phoenix!" he said, "Erm... I... you don't have to be sorry! I just... got a bit excited." Who wouldn't be excited about eating sweets? Or eating ice cream? But he shouldn't be worrying about that now. He probably should start thinking of an awesome nickname he can give to the girl. Maybe... Nix? Or... Phoe? No... Nix sounded better. Nodnod.

As Phoenix shifted in her seat, Alec's eyes tore away from her face and... was that... "Erm... you draw?" he asked, nodding down at the sketchbook. Or maybe she liked colouring in? Oh and she was taking some of his sweets! That was always nice, sharing. "Really?" he asked, "That's awesome! You... erm... you have great taste in sweets!" GRIN.

Skipping up the stands Ariana was smiling, she was exciteddddd to say the least, her house was playing. her TEAM was playing, and although she wasnt on the pitch tonight she was still ready to kick some lion butt! She was excited to see her team play and she found it humorous that she knew all their plays but it was game time, All their practicing that Dylan was forcing threatening them too was about to pay off

Tightening her scarf around her neck she took a bench in the front row, of course. she had to have front row to this show. Looking into the stands at who was already there she saw Rush, obviously he wasnt playing tonight either.. a nice smile and nod to him and she saw him talking with bee, she'd avoid that for now.

Scanning the area she saw several players from Hufflepuff & Ravenclaw.. mehh. She could creless about them right now.. but then she saw something that really shocked her Completly.. Max & Elliot.. And Elliot was wearing Green And A LOT of it.. Brownie Points for you Morganzo. Brownie points for you.

Okay, the match could start now.

'You too and I am sorry, I thought I might have to save you from choking, what a way to meet someone.' Phoenix replied with a laugh.

Phoenix blushed as Alec noticed her sketchbook, nibbling on one of the gummy worms to try and hide the fact she was.
'Yeah, I love to draw, one of the main reasons I'm here and to see if us Hufflepuffs have a chance this year.' Pheonix took another bite out of her gummy worm and an idea struck her, she should have picked up that bag of chocolate mice on her way out of the Common Room, she dug around in her pocket for a moment and with a triumphant cry, pulled them out with a flourish.
'As you've given me some gummy worms, have a few chocolate mice.' she said, offering the bag to Alec, he shared with her so she was going to share with him.

Ethan grinned back at the boy. This one was full of enthusiasm which the Ravenclaw found somewhat amusing. He must really love Quidditch.. which was pretty awesome because Ethan felt the same way about the sport.. even if he didn't outwardly display it. "Good to meet you, Alec. I'm Ethan... McCarthy," he returned the greeting, tentatively adding his last name as he always did when someone offered theirs as well.

The Ravenclaw glanced over at Alec's shoes as the other boy propped up his feet. Oh! Green and red! Supporter of both teams.. Ethan nodded as he figured it out just as the boy confirmed it. Only wearing his house colors of blue and bronze, Ethan supposed it didn't look like he had much school spirit.. but only because he wasn't sure which team he wanted to win. But at least he wasn't the only one not rooting for one side or the other. "Oh... both, I guess. I just want to see the game and I don't know any of the players on either team." That would be a good reason to support one side.. right? "I just transferred here this year," he added quickly as an explanation. How pathetic would that be if he had gone to this school the past 4 1/2 years and not known one single Quidditch player?

Ethan turned in the direction of the voice calling his name. Oh, hey.. there was Elliot.. "Hey Elliot," Ethan called over, giving her a smirk of his own. Nice to see she was in a better mood than the other day.. cough. Her gave her an appraising sort of look taking in her chosen attire. "Slytherin fan, huh?" Well, that was a little bit surprising to the boy.. wasn't her boyfriend a Gryffindor? As he noticed that she seemed to be in deep thought as she looked over at him, he mouthed what? to her before chuckling lightly. She really looked zoned out.

And speaking of the Gryffindor boyfriend.. Ethan spotted Maxwell as he came over to Elliot. "Hey.. how's it going?" he replied tentatively to the boy's greeting. He wasn't completely sure what to think of this gut yet. He had a pretty bad first impression.. but if Elliot liked him, then maybe he wouldn't be so quick to judge. She seemed to be a pretty good judge of character.. she was friends with Ethan, after all.

Minerva made her way to the stands. She hoped she hadn't missed the start. It would be horrible to miss the start of the match. She pulled her jacket tighter from the cold and let her newly transfigured green and red (which looked more like pink) hair show. She wanted to support all her friends and figured this was the best way to do it. Walking past the announcers spot she stopped, "Good Luck Kurumi.. I know you'll do just as good as you did at the tryout." she smiled at the holder girl and then headed to find a seat.

Walking along the stands to find some of her friends she set her eyes on two that she would have rather not have seen at all. She was still mad about everything that happened at the party and they were the last two people she wanted to see. Glaring at them she quickly walked past without a word. That's when she froze. She saw Alec her cute little brother, well who she adopted as her little brother was sitting with.... Ethan. Should she go over or should she just stay away. Pushing at her hair one last time before getting over there she smiled, "Hey Alec, mind if I sit near you?" She made her way sitting behind him. "Have you tried the spell out yet?" she knew he would know what she was talking about. Then she smiled shyly at Ethan, "Hey Ethan how are you today?" She smiled probably a bit to long at him and then quickly moved her glance towards the pitch feeling her cheeks blush already..

Harvey was excited about the match, quidditch season had now started!!! He was kinda bummed that he hadn't made the team but it was ok, there had been some pretty good tryoutees this time round so he was not surprised that he hadn't made the team. But that didn't mean that he couldn't come and watch this match and support some teams, and maybe if a certain someone was here they could cheer the teams together? He walked out onto the stands and was surprised to see it so ... soo.. empty? well sure there were a few people here and there, but he had been here four years and he had never seen a stand like his before a match. There had always been activity and people getting ready to cheer for either of the two teams playing. Well he was here now and as he scanned the stands there was no mistaking that blonde haired girl, the one that was perfect for him. He walked over to her and sat down next to her, giving her a kiss on her cheek "Hi Ella, how are you doing?" he said practically smiling like an idiot again. He then turned around as he had noticed that Mins was there but he wanted to kind of sneak up on Ella before he said Hi to everyone. "Hi Mins, how are you? Haven't seen you in a while" he said smiling at her, and wondering why she had a red face... but then he realised that it WAS cold so of course that her face was going to be red. Its not like she was going to be blushing, since there was no-one here to make her blush.

Maxwell looking the opposite of Elliot, decked out in his Gryffindor stuff nodded politely to Ethan. "Sorry if i seemed like a jerk before....I was really only joking...I told Laura i was sorry..." He said feeling a little bad. "I mean don't get me wrong, i'm not telling Minerva i'm sorry, she over-reacted." Max said, no longer calling her Min or Minnie or any other nickname. Nope. She was Minerva now.

Speak of the devil...there she was and glaring at him. Whatever two can play at that game. He glared back. She was laying it on a bit think with Ethan....blushing everywhere...was she this ridiculous with him?
