Just as he had promised Mr. Katharos, Airey arrived in the stands wearing an obnoxious green suit and carried a Slytherin flag in his right hand. He held an even bigger Hufflepuff one in the other hand - since he was secretly rooting for that house - and promptly made his way to the same seat he had been in the previous match. Once he sat down, he gave a quick wave to the flatulent asking Ravenclaw boy and the Head Boy. "Good afternoon," he grinned at both boys before adjusting his tie and turning his attention to the pitch.

Hopefully Miss Wisteria would forgive his attire if he cheered for her loudly...because the astronomer really DID want Hufflepuff to win. He was rather attached to his duck and and, well, despised losing. Especially when that lost was paired with a bet.

The teams first game, Cassia dressed early had some food and immediately headed to the stands. Of course like each and every match she was going early and she was going to cheer and shout her team's names at the top of her lungs as they would be flying awesomely and kicking flying quafflles and bludgers. Though the snake was hoping that none of the team, especially HER friends get hurt. Since it had become a habit last term as both Theo and West ended up in the hospital wing. But that was last term. This one should be different! Or so she hoped.

Skipping up she chose herself a good seat to be able to see clearly down the field. Cassia plopped herself down. She of course doesn't sit during games bit the game hadn't started yet so she was allowed to. Looking around her she noticed that not many students have arrived except a couple, the snake nodded in acknowledgement and smile at the Head Boy. The Professor earned a nod and a big grin as well but she sat away so he wouldn't hear her if she said anything. And so she started rubbing her hands together. IT was chilly! But she guessed she'd feel warm once the match started and she got on her feet! MHhm.

Of course she also was waiting for her friends to arrive, she surely wasn't going to sit here alone. Pffft. Boring! Quidditch matches were a people-event. And the seats around her were all vacant so friends would occupy once they got here. Lex shouldn't be late, though the girl was surely rooting for the Huffies, Cassia still saved her a seat. It'd only be awkward when the lions played against the snakes. The third-year would be cheering for her house team but her bestie as well. Though she had done it before and cheered for Blue when the ravenclaws played against the Snakes. So all should be good.

Shifting in her cold seat, the thirteen-years old peered down checking if the players have emerged from the lockers or not yet. Hmm…No yet.

Anastasia had done a ... semi-poor job of paying attention at the last match, but she was determined to do a much better job at this one. This was her House's time to shine! So naturally, she dressed for the part.

Well, sort of. She was wearing a long, warm coat since it was wintertime, but underneath the coat, rest assured that she had a yellow dress on. And several other layers. And a Hufflepuff pin on the outside of her coat, so there was no mistaking who she was rooting for.

The redhead climbed into the still-empty stands and made her way over to a seat above the man in the green suit. "Hello, you two," she greeted the Ravenclaw with the two flags, and the little Slytherin also sitting in the stands. "Hello, Gary," she also greeted the Head Boy, and then finally sat down directly behind Flamsteed. Yes, she was going to watch the back of his head this entire match. No funny business from him, since he seemed to be such a... mischievous sort.

"Lovely suit you're wearing, Airey," she said just loud enough for the Astronomy professor to hear. "Where ever did you get it?" From the rubbish bin that housed Oscar the Grouch, or was it a genuine movie collectable from that film with the Riddler?

He had unfortunately been forced to miss the first Quidditch match. But he sure wasn't going to miss this one! Alistaire had come to cheer for Hufflepuff. Despite their recent encounter in the Forbidden Forest, he had taken a liking to that Lotus girl. When he heard she was on the team, that had made it all that much easier to cheer for the yellow and black. He had always been partial to them in his own school days, with many of his friends coming from that house. Since Gryffindor wasn't playing today, he felt no shame in supporting the Badgers. And speaking of classmates and Gryffindor...

There was Airey! They had been at Hogwarts together for a few years. Three, I think. Seeing no other professor present, he figured he may as well chat up the Astronomy professor for awhile. "Airey," he said, taking in the man's very green appearance, "I see yeh're rootin' fer the Snakes today?" Although, the man did have a banner for both houses... well this was just confusing.

And of course, he would be very rude indeed if he did not greet the Headmistress, who had just arrived as well. "Mornin', Annie. Who're yeh supportin' today?" That coat was a nice neutral color. Suitable for the Headmistress, of course.

Text Cut: we approved his attire <3

Sipping his latte, the Head Boy still waited for the match started. And where are the other spectators? Well, maybe they would be here soon. They didn't want to miss this game, did they? Maybe the weather was rather cold and chilly, but he did believe that watching Quidditch could warm them up. He didn't feel very cold here, thanks for the coat and the coffee tumbler. They're responsible to keep himself warm and didn't die freezing here.

His blue eyes spotted a man with green suit. Heh, it was Professor Flamsteed! So, today he's on the green side? "Professor! Good afternoon." said him politely. "Nice suit, sir." he complimented and sipping back his drink. He noticed that Flamsteed did not ONLY wear a green suit but he also had Slytherin flag in his hand. Not to mention that he also had a Hufflepuff one. "So, what team do you support, Sir?" casually he asked.

Oh, more people came! Gary spotted a familiar Slytherin girl (Cassia) who smiled to him. He smiled back to her. He did hear someone's greeted him. Oh, that's Headmistress Truebridge. "Hello, Headmistress." he greeted her back. Speaking of, Lafay would not miss the match, would her?

Evelyn, having heard that her former house would be playing in today's quidditch match, had made it to the stands, eager to find a good seat. Merlin, she'd heard Vinny had retired from his positions as well. It was kind of hard to believe he'd ever do so. She had the thought in her head that he'd end up staying until his final breath.

Whatever the reasons, nothing could spoil this moment of potentially watching the Snakes beat the Badgers in a nice, satisfying game of Hogwarts student quidditch. Seriously though...the snakes better win. Speaking of Slytherin house, a seat near them would be best.

She was supporting her old house and all, if anyone couldn't have guessed.

With two lines of paint on her cheeks, one green and one yellow, Medea made her way up the stands to find a good seat for the match. As usual, she was rooting for both sides equally, though hoping there were as little fatal accidents as possible. Yet, on her search for an empty seat, she somehow had found herself nearby the astronomy professor, like a fly attracted to a bright light. His suit. It was just so...Green.

Should have brought a can of yellow paint. If only for a little scare.

"Good day, Headmistress." Medea greeted with her usual warm smile upon noticing the woman, just behind Airey. Honestly, she was surprised she could take her gaze away from the bright suit. Oh! And look who else was here. "Hello, Alistaire.......... Airey." Ahem.

It had been years since Amelia had been back to Hogwarts, but as her children were now nine coupled with the fact that she had a free weekend, she figured now was as good as any to take Chel to her first quidditch game! Of course the fact that it was her former house playing may have played some part too in her making the journey to Hogwarts on the blistering cold afternoon. Adjusting her scarf around her neck, she wished Tancred would have been able to come. She glanced down at her daughter and smiled, holding her hand tightly. "You ready?"

The nine year old shuffled along, wondering what was so important that her mother had to drag her out in the cold. Of course she knew the importance quidditch played to her parents, but still. "I guess so. Is this going to be just like when you played, mommy?" Chel asked, bright-eyed and curious.

"Better, hopefully," Mia said, amused by her daughter's interest and reluctance, as she led the way toward a pair of empty seats.

**************

Josephina made her way out to the stands for the second time that year. It was cold, but there was no doubts in her mind that she would be supporting her Hufflepuffs. So she bundled up in her long black pea-coat, with a small Hufflepuff pin adorning the collar, as the Arithmancy Professor made her way up to the stands.

Hufflepuff versus Slytherin. The Snakes were hungry for a win, she knew and they were brutal when it came to Quidditch, which had her worried for her badgers, but she also had faith in her badgers. They were tough and rabid and she knew that they would try their best out there.

Spying the Headmistress, she made her way over to sit near the other former Hufflepuff and smiled at the redhead. "Blistering cold out here today, isn't it?" Couldn't they cancel a game due to possible frostbite occurring?

Hecate adored quidditch having been a player herself. She always took Lucille, her beater's bat, with her to the games.

She sat in the stands and waited to cheer on her team.

Jory was all bundled up for the cold weather. All bundled up in everything yellow and black! He also had two Puff flags. He was one hundred percent behind his House, win or loose. They were the best.

On his way to find a seat he passed lots of familiar faces. "Hello, Headmistress,'' the excited badger greeted the woman. It was very obvious which Team she was supporting. "Hello, Professors Romanos, Flamsteed, Lafay and Hadley.'' And there was the groundskeeper. "Hi Mr. Firth!'' And who was this lady with the kid? "Hi, there,'' he told them both.

Oakey stomped up to the stands. He wasn't wearing any Hufflepuff colors, and wasn't carrying anything to help him cheer (no charmed toy megaphone). In fact he should have been out there playing today with his team! He was perfectly fit, no injuries. He was dumb to think that Healer Tillstorm would give him advice on the bruises he received in Astronomy class. A class he didn't even like or understand!
Damn, did that visit backfire on him! Hopefully the Healer won't show. Which was a dumb wish, she had to be present during a Quidditch Match, someone always get's hurt.
He looked over to the side and spotted both Professor Hadley, and Head Mistress Truebridge. If the worst came to pass maybe the former Hufflepuffs could get him out of his unfair, uncalled for, and totally house biased punishment.

What an awful day, today was.

Second match of the term and she found herself up in the stands. This was where she watched just about half the matches last term. Only half because she'd miss the first couple. This year she was determined to be at all of them and so far she was doing a pretty good job!



Entering the stands the first person she noticed was Shouter Boy. She felt a little guilty knowing that in the match she played against his team she was being such a bad sport, which she naturally was--but only because he didn't bother rubbing it in and he was being super nice about it. Not at all like some other Claw she could mention who thought it was his JOB to go yelling that they'd won, as if the whole stadium hadn't seen. Ahem. Wasn't like she was bitter or anything. Nope.

"Hey Shouter Boy!" GRIN. He'd told her his name during the Quidditch Championships Party last term but she preferred the name she gave to him because the boy was in fact shouting the first time they met. She caught sigh of his yellow AND green flags. Somehow this seemed a bit expected. "Are you rooting for any player in particular?" She knew she was.



Just then, her eyes caught sight of something overly green. She stared agape at the Professor who was all decked out in green, clearly not amused. "Professor! Why???" Was all she managed to ask. He was...he was wearing that colour.

Lex had found that with each day she spent at Hogwarts she had a growing dislike for that colour. There were, of course people in that house that she liked but in general she'd had enough of the lot of them. They needed to get a lesson or two in people skills before they were allowed to mingle with the rest of the population.

Quickly she reached into her pocket and pulled out a yellow ribbon. "Here you go Professor. I'll need you to tie this to your suit or find a tuft of your hair that it can be tied around please because we should all be supporting Hufflepuff while shouting occasionally for certain members on the snake team." She held the ribbon even closer then. For you, go ahead.



Oh and she found Cassia!!!

"Cassia!" She called, drawing attention to herself so her bestie would see that she did make it to the match. At the moment she didn't have a drop of green on her and she figured her friend would notice but she didn't particularly care because she was NOT dressing to support Slytherin. She didn't want them to win and in fact she wanted half of them injured. Nothing serious obviously but enough to make her happy.

She plopped down next to her with a wide grin. "I would have been here sooner but I had to rummage through my trunk for something that had absolutely no hint of green on it." If it had a green button it was automatically OUT.

"And this is for you!" She said with a wide smile as she dipped into her pocket and pulled out another yellow ribbon. Better than paint, right? "Tie this in your hair, mmkay?"



A bunch of hi's and hello's caught her ears and she turned to see none other than the Headmistress--and she was all yellowed out!

Well duh, the woman was once a puffer, right? That's what she heard and as hard as it was to believe she'd go along with it because she couldn't prove otherwise. "Hello Headmistress!" BEAM. Even though the woman hadn't greeted her she felt she should still go ahead and say hi because well...she wanted to...? Yeah. That was it.

Fishing through her pocket again she pulled out two yellow ribbons and extended them to her with a wide smile. "Have some ribbons in support of Hufflepuff! You can tie them in your hair--or on your suit--or your hand too, it doesn't matter." Last term no one wanted to paint their faces. She was hoping they wouldn't all be against ribbons too.



Mr. Not-Shiny Ground's Keeper was here too!

She gave him a wave that stopped prematurely when she caught sight of his green flag. Yeah he had a yellow one too but the yellow one was really all he needed. The green one should be discarded or something because the snakes wouldn't win and Hair Boy would catch all the snitches and the world would be a happy place.

Once she was done convincing herself of this she was able to smile at him before pulling out another yellow ribbon--she came prepared okay??? and handing it to him. "In support of Hufflepuff." She explained. "And also, hello sir!" GRIN.



Another Professor!

One that she remembered also not wanting her face painted last term. People were so particular when it came to what they put on their faces. It was only paint, jeez.

This time, however, she was sure she had something the woman wouldn't refuse. Reaching into her pocket she pulled out two yellow ribbons and offered them to her by extending her hand questioningly. "Hello Professor, decent weather for a match right? I have some yellow ribbons so you can fully support Hufflepuff today." Because in her mind everyone should support Hufflepuff but certain people on the snake team needed rooting for as well. "I can tie them into your hair for you."



Oh?

There was an upset Oakey storming onto the stands. He didn't have that sour lemon look on his face which helped her take the situation a bit more seriously. He was upset...but why--heeeeey, wasn't he on the team??? What was he doing in the stands--

OHHHHH!

That might have had something to do with his mood. She gave him a light jab in the side to get his attention and that's when she noticed his lack of Hufflepuff anything! GASP! She would have to give him a ribbon too!!! She stuck her hand into her pocket and pulled out THREE because he neeeeeeeded them, then placed them on his lap with a small smile. "What's wrong...?" Wear them Gunter.

Marie was extremely excited to be back at Hogwarts. Not only was she there with one of her She-Snake sisters, but the match they were going to see today was between her and her husband's former houses. Of course anyone that knew her knew she would be cheering for the snakes to win.

Sitting down she looked around for familiar faces in the stands. "Oh look over there Evelyn. It's Professor Lafay. Maybe we should say hi to her." Marie hadn't talked to the woman in a couple of years. Not since her ex head of house (and her family) had attended her wedding. "You think Sierra is still playing quidditch?" She was still a student right? Marie hadn't missed the girls graduation had she?

Today was going to be a perfect day for the healer. Not only was she going to get to see her favorite former house team show those rodents badgers who was the best team in the school, she was also going to get to witness a certain puffer prefect cheer for the better team. That's right, Mr. Gunter would be cheering on Slytherin house today... even if he didn't like it. And just to make sure he followed through with his little punishment here, she was going to sit right next to him during the whole match.

"Prefect Gunter," she greeted him as she sat down right nest to him. "I do hope your bruises are healing nicely for you. If you're lucky maybe you'll be able to play in the next match." Today though he was staying right here in the stands... NOT cheering on his own team.

What's this? Miss Cambridge was giving out YELLOW ribbons? Well that just wasn't going to do. Pointing her wand at the ribbons that were now on Oakey's lap Cece cast a quick, non-verbal color changing spell changing the ribbons from that hideous yellow, to the most awesome color in the universe... Slytherin Green. No, Oakey would not be showing any Hufflepuff spirit today. Today he was all about cheering for Slytherin. Slipping her wand back up her sleeve before anyone had a chance to see she had it out, she turned to the young lion. "Hello Alexa, what makes you think there's something wrong with Oakey today?"

Asher wished he was it the locker room right about now. But he wasn't so this was the next best place for the fourth year to be. Being a team player on and off the pitch. Just because he wasn't playing he wasn't going to sulk in the common room day. In fact Asher made made a sign this morning for his younger teammates known as the Terror Twins.

He carried his sign happily to the pitch. He waved and said "Hello Professor Flamsteed" As he passed him. On up the stands he passed his Head of House, Professor Lafay. He smiled, "Hey Professor Lafay. I see your ready for the match." As always she had her beaters bat with her for the match.

He moved through the stands to the middle section of the Snake side. He waved his sign around, And shouted,

"LET'S GO SLYTHERIN!!!!"

--------------------------------

It had seem like it had been forever since she had been here. Caroline and Kita were going to have a girls day at the quidditch pitch. It was fitting since this is were they became friends and their old houses were playing each other today. Plus her brother was on the team now, again, maybe he would see him play today.

Walking into the stands the first person she seen was Evelyn Flores a former Slytherin like herself. They played for Slytherin together. They really didn't talk that much. She gave her a little wave. "Hey Evelyn." as she past the former Slytherin.

She hoped that they place where Her and Kita sat at during that match where they became friends were empty. Yes that were. She walked up to the seats. She caught a glance of one of her favorite Professors when she was here. "Professor Lafay. Its good to see you."

She sat down. Dang, it was weird being back here.

Josephina was just settling in to her seat in the stands, as she watched her Prefect stomping up to the stands. He looked completely unhappy, which reminded her that she needed to speak with him on the subject of his Herbology fears. Tilting her head, she watched as the Healer took a seat next to him. Now why would a former Snake Healer want to sit next to HER prefect during a Hufflepuff / Slytherin match?

And why was Oakey not showing his support of Hufflepuff in his attire today? He had some of the most Hufflepuff pride out of anyone she knew.

"Prefect Gunter. Healer Tillstorm." She greeted politely, taking the seat on the other side of the sixth year. "Is everything okay?" Did he need her to change the color of his robes? Because she would totally do that.

Now see... this was a bummer. The first two Quidditch games of the term, and Mo hadn't been able to sit with West at either of them. Granted... he'd played in the first and West was playing today, but it was still like a thing that the two of them went to Quidditch matches together.

Still... yay, West, right? Mo was decked out in green, because he was super-loyal, and he climbed into the stands eagerly. Who did he know? Professors, but it was uncool to sit with them. Lex, but sitting with her would really upset West. But Cassia was sitting with Lex, and she was on West's list of people to be friends with, so Mo plopped down on the other side of the girl. "Good day for a game, eh?"

It was Quidditch time, which meant a lot of things, but mostly that she got to sit out in the cold and watch two teams go at it. And, being a Quidditch fiend herself, she really loved days like this- minus the cold. Oh yeah, she could TOTALLY live without the cold, okay? If Quidditch was always played on a brisk spring day she would not complain at all. But she supposed, since next year she would be playing Professionally for the Harpies, she had better get used to just dealing with the cold.

AHEM, the Harpies. Yeah. That was exactly why Selina was wearing green today. It had nothing to do with a personal preference of who should win the game today because she was not going to flat out just root for one group of people over the other. She liked people on both teams. Cough. So no personal preference on her end even IF her best friend was the captain of the Slytherin team.

Settling into her seat on the stands, she yanked down on her beanie to keep some of the cold off of her face. Bloody wind. Well, at least the weather for the game would keep things interesting. Now all she had to do was just wait. Maybe she could count all of the flags while she wait? Eh, it was SOMETHING.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

She was here! BACK at Hogwarts to watch a game with her very best friend! And BOY was she excited! SQUEEEEE! Quidditch! Her beloved ex-house was playing today! And her darling unbiological younger sister was Captaining! Not to mention the fact that her other unbiological younger sister was playing as well. Yes? Yes. SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Kita crossed her arms across her chest as she headed on up towards the Stands. Her eyes scanned the stands a little and OH OH OH! Familiar faces! SQUEEEEEEEEEE! "Hi Professor Hadley!" she squealed, waving excitedly at the woman. Was she still meant to call her Professor? ... Probably. She wouldn't dream of calling the woman by her first name!

Also, CAROLINEWASHEREALREADYSQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

"CAROLINE!" And will you look at that! She was sitting in the same place where, unless the girl was mistaken, the two had met for the very first time! GIGGLE. It was as if the two were going to sit there and have a nice girly chat about Carter once again. "Hi Caroline!" she squealed, moving her bag to her front and sitting down right next to the former Slytherin.

Chocolate cake? Yes? No?

Christmas made her way up to the stands ready for today's game and she had put her hair back in pigtails with green and silver ribbons to show who she was supporting and basically she hoped that she would make some more friends while watching the game

Wearing his Gryffindor scarf and a neutral-colored shirt, Jake made his way into the stands. He had absolutely no idea who he was cheering for today, so he wasn't going to show any favoritism in his appearance. He'd probably just cheer for whoever scored and caught the snitch or made a good move or ANYTHING good because that seemed like a good thing to do.

So... he'd probably have to watch who he sat by, yeah? Some people weren't too keen on the cheer-for-anybody idea. So, standing at the bottom of the stands, Jake looked around for somebody he could sit with.

So there she was, having happy thoughts about the puffers winning and handing out nifty yellow ribbons when her sight was assaulted by a sudden gush of green. She scowled at this insult to her but the scowl sort of left when she realized it was Mo. Now she was just disappointed but what could she expect when the guy he worshiped was playing for the green team? She eyed him curiously as he made his way towards her and Cassia. Would he sit with them seeing as she was there?

He would!

Well, he would sit next to Cassia anyway. How rude.

She would pretend he was talking to her because she thought West was being rather selfish to tell him not to speak to her. Not even she would do that--and she was the QUEEN of selfish. It was second nature to her but you didn't see her being all dominant dictator. "Yup! Definitely! Hopefully it stays this way!" GRIN. Oh and since she WAS going to talk to him because she WANTED to. "Here, have a ribbon." She said, fishing a yellow one from her pocket. "Cheer for Hufflepuff too because they have good players."

And there was Jake! She waved over at him, signalling for him to come over. He could sit with them if he wanted to. Or he could just wave at her and she'd be happy with that.

"Hai Jake!!!"

And before she forgot...yup, he was getting a ribbon too. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a yellow one for the boy who seemed like he wasn't supporting anybody. This meant he wouldn't mind taking the ribbon...right. "Here, this is for you." BEAM.

She was marveling at her yellow ribbons. Yellow wasn't a colour she particularly liked but it was better than green so it was all good.

She gave a wary look when the Healer showed up. The woman was intimidating, okay????but so far all was good. The woman was talking to Oakey who was plenty upset even if he said he wasn't. Suddenly she saw the woman take out her wand and the next thing she knew the ribbons were green. What the kneazle?!?!?

JKFBCFKVG!!!

NO!

She stared all wide eyed at the woman, unable to believe that the woman had made her ribbons hideous but of course she couldn't protest because...yeah...so she just STARED. "My...my ribbons..." She finally said with a wibble. They were GREEN!!!! EWWWW!! Pout. "And I think he's upset because he looks upset and he isn't wearing yellow even though his house is playing...."

Nolan couldn't help but head down to the stands to cheer on his old house--boy, he missed Quidditch! He had never been a player himself and had always preferred muggle sports to flying around on a broom, it sure was exciting.

As he headed to the stands, his eyes fell upon his former colleague and former housemate, Josephina Hadley. He grinned and immediately made his way through the stands to her. OOOOH and she was talking to students...time to do some campaigning maybe? Hehehe.

"Hadley!" he called as he made his way through the crowd, plopping down next to her. "Good to see a familiar face around here! Hello, Nolan Reynolds, Board Candidate," he added, turning around and introducing himself to the students she was addressing.

Oakey looked down in fear at the Yellow ribbons resting on his lap. Dear Merlin, Healer Tillstorm would surely berate him if she saw these on his lap. "Everything's fine." Oakey lied to Alexa, the ickle Gryffindor girl should know he was lying too. He wasn't very good at it, and Alexa was always first to pick up on them.
Speak of the dementor herself! Here came Healer Tillstorm marching her way across the stands. "Bruises are almost gone." Oakey said quietly, so long as I don't run into you before then, I think I'll be able to play. Yeah he thought that one to himself. He was done talking back to Healer Tillstorm, she made him angry during his visit just to check on some bruises. Now looks what he was belittled too.
He picked up his now green ribbons that the Healer had no doubt changed through a non-verbal spell and gripped them tightly in his fist. He was going to have to wear these wasn't he. Not even looking at her, Oakey slipped the first green ribbon around his forehead and tied it in a knot, how awful. he held the other two in opposite hands, no more please.
He looked on as Tillstorm questioned Alexa why she thought there was something wrong with him. "There's nothing wrong with me. Alexa why don't you go give some more of those ribbons out I don't think Professor Hadley got any from you yet."

Speaking of which her she came now to save him from this nightmare! No, everything is wrong Professor, Healer Tillstorm is abusing me, forcing me to miss the match and cheer for her former house! SAVE ME HADLEY, SAVE ME MAMMA PUFF! Is what he would be freaking out to his Head of House with about now if the Healer wasn't sitting beside him. "I-I'm fine, Ma'am. J-just thought I'd show house unity and also cheer for Slytherin some. Dylan's a best friend of mine."
Oh lookie here! Now another familiar face...well just the face at least. The guys name was...Roland Nerolds? Ah well, Oakey recognized him as one of the Candidates. Quick make a statement about how you'll crack down on House Biased punishments or something! Scare the Healer, come on!
Noooooo He wanted nothing more than to scream from the top of his lungs
GO HUFFLEPUFF KICKS THOSE SNAKE'S TAILS!
save him, reduce his punishment, make him sit away from Evil Healer!

"I'm considering this Dylan's try-out," Vivi dropped into a seat next to Selina and gave the girl a broad grin. Was she sort of a sick person because she got so much pleasure from just showing up places and surprising Selina? Yes... yes, she was. But she'd missed the Claw-Gryff game, which was a battle of epic proportions - best friend vs. little brother.

Now she was just here to get a Quidditch fix and hang out with Selina. "Like... if he plays well, he can live with us after graduation. If he doesn't, he's an embarrassment and we cannot be seen with him."

Mo took the ribbon without a word and tied it around his head so that the little bow dangled against his forehead. There now... he was still obviously playing favorites, but he was a bit more balanced. Good show.

And heeey, he heard Vivi. Mo turned in his seat and gave her a wave and grin (both ignored quite cheerfully) before he turned back to face the pitch. "Might snow later, but so long as it doesn't rain, I think it'll be perfect weather for Quidditch. All weather is perfect weather for Quidditch, though." Who knew who he was talking to, anyway.

It felt strange to be back at the school sitting in the stands ready to watch her first School Quidditch game in a long time. Trixie knew none of the players but was dressed ready to be loyal to her old house and cheer them on in the game. It hadn't been her idea to come to the match, she probably would've spent that afternoon at home looking after her children but Oliver, whom she had only recently reconciled with invited her to join him in watching today's proceedings.

And the Head Girl inside of her just couldn't refuse.

She found a seat towards the middle of the stands knowing fully well that Oliver wouldn't have arrived yet. As she looked around she spotted a couple of familiar faces in the crowd, mainly the professors who had taught whilst she had been here. She flashed a quick smile to anyone who noticed.

A slight winter chill was in the air and the Blonde woman pulled her jacket tighter around her body. She had almost forgotten just how cold it could get in the remote reaches of Scotland, a significant difference to the sunny weather that frequented Cornwall. She relaxed backwards and continued to look around the stands and over to the pitch. She could sympathise with the players, the nerves could become overwhelming and be a distraction before the match started. If she was allowed, she would've given them all a hug but it would probably take quite a few of them aback.

The woman looked back down at the pitch and waited for either the former Head Boy to arrive or the game to start.

It was finally time!

This ex Falmouth Falcon and ex Slytherin Quidditch player was back home: the pitch. Along with his wife, Ursulla, Xavier walked them over to what he deemed 'comfortable spots'. His wife had to tug at his hand in order to sit down.

He was just too EXCITED! It wasn't JUST a Slytherin match, but his baby's FIRST match with the team. They've both been dreaming of this day. Xavier almost resented not sending Peyton to Hogwarts since the beginning, but it was for the best considering what happened last term. Ahem.

A smile still plastered on his face, Xavier took a green and gray flag from the inside of his coat and waved it a bit. "GO SLYTHERIN!!" AND HIS BABY!
