So Cat still hadn't figured out why she was basically always late for everything. So far, she'd managed classes on time and that was good enough for her, she wasn't going to try to mess with THAT.

At least she had remembered to wear the red bow in her hair for Alice. That was a good thing, right? She spotted that Ravenclaw boy and just sat down beside him, that seat was for her, wasn't it? Of course it was. She grinned. "I'm late." That was an apology of sorts.

IT WAS TIME TO COMMENTATE! Tobias FLAILED at the microphone as he realised the time. "HERE WE GO HOGWARTS! IT'S TIIIIIIIME!"

Ahem.

Yeah.

"Interesting line up today! ... I think.” Was it interesting? Tobias didn’t know. But the commentators always seemed to say it so it seemed like something he was meant to say SO HE DID. Mainly because of learning from the BUZZERS seminar that should DO WHAT YOU THINK YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO DO. “IIIIIIIIN THE RED CORNER, captain Alice Fischer is playing as chaser today... ooh that IS interesting” FOCUS TOBIAS “alongside Alexa Cambridge, also as a chaser”. WAIT THAT WAS LEX! HI LEX! “Christmas Goldman and Sarah Edwards each take up a beater’s bat today, Melanie Sung is playing Keeper and LAST but DEFINITELY not least is seeker Penelope Greenwell.” Aaaaaaaaaaand pause to allow for cheers.

“And going up against them IN THE GREEEEEN CORNER, theeeere’s chasers West Odessa, Theodore Kinsley and Ascanius Stark. Wow... I like their names.” That was important to note. “Slytherin’s beaters today are Derryth Ferrier and Peyton Baltazar. Katrina Hudson is playing keeper annnnnnnnnnnnnd Slytherin captain Dylan Montmorency is of course playing seeker! Jeeez, you guys have such awesome names.”

Once again Tobias paused for the crowd to do their cheery bit.

“And here they come!” For the teams had started to fly out on to the pitch. Tobias counted out the players juuuuuust to make sure they were all there ‘cause nobody wanted to be left out. “LOOK HOW HAPPY THEY ALL ARE.”

Wow, they sure looked like they were ready for a fun game!

“Professor James is doing the usual talky bit I think. Makes sense. Yeah... okay... okay... here goes... IT’S SO EXCITING.” Okay, the bludgers and snitch were released.

“And there goes the quaffle!” GAME ON

“All the chasers have gone straight for the quaffle... well, obviously... it would be kinda silly if they went for a bludger!” He peered forward into the weird scrimmage. “Oh look, it’s like a team hug before they all play!” ISN’T THAT NICE. “I can’t even see the quaff- OH THERE IT IS!” Tobias was right forward on the edge of his seat and they were only about ten seconds into the game.

“Kinsley flies up and out of the group hug, quaffle in hand. He sees Fischer flying RIGHT AT him and quickly throws the quaffle off to his nearest team mate. Probably a good idea. The nearest teammate just happens to be Stark who snatches the quaffle out of the air. The space ahead is clear and Stark takes advantage of it, and zooms straight for the goal posts. He winds up, aiming for the right hoop... OH BUT IT WAS A FEINT. HE PUTS IT THROUGH THE LEFT! STARK SCORES! The score is 10-0 to Slytherin!”

Tobias moved away from the mic and clapped his hands. YAY WELL DONE.
“Sung quickly retrieves the quaffle and puts it back into play. My New Friend Lex... I mean, uhhh... Cambridge catches it and ZOOOOOMS back into the fray. She ducks and weaves and WOW she’s fast. Must be all that ice cream.” Sugar. Toby knew her game. “Cambridge soon finds her path blocked by Kinsley and passes off the quaffle before it can be stolen. Fischer catches it as she goes by and is heading STRAIGHT FOR THE HOOPS. Well... I guess that’s to be expected. She SHOOTS... HUDSON BLOCKS IT! Score remains 10-0 to Slytherin! It’s okay, Alice! You’ll get it next time!”

"You're late," Mo agreed, scooting over to make room for Cat on the end. She was decked appropriately for house pride... except for the red bow. That was distinctively Gryffindor. He reached up and gave it a poke.

"For Alice?" And then the quaffle was in motion, and Mo jumped to his feet. Game on... where was West?

"Marcus Orion." Dora turned towards the familiar voice and offered him a lazy smile. He was feeding them complements, and she was perfectly okay with that, what with her being in an extra cheerful mood and all. No need to ask who he was cheering for, right? Right.

The Ravenclaw tipped her drink in Cat's direction in greeting when she showed her face before turning back to the field and shouting cheers for her favorite people in between sips of her drink.

"He did bit me or it wasn't really a bite. Just a light tug I think. He's still cute," Mhhmm. She kept patting and caressing his head while his eyes looked at her fingers. Nope, he won't get to nib one again. Nooope. Watch your tongue creature. "Where do you keep him when you go to classes, by the way?" She asked Dora. The snake didn't remember seeing the Jarvey at any class. And it probably wasn't safe to bring him since he might insult a professor and it so happened that most professor's egos were so inflated.

Just then, the snake saw the players up in the air. She smiled, "Here they are," Of course Dora saw them too.


Cass? Barely anyone called her that except for Dora. But she didn't mind. And was he surprised seeing her here? Pfffft. She bet her surprise was bigger. Was he nervous? Probably because he was in another's school stadium and ALONE and also he was twelve. She couldn't blame him. Though she refrained from asking him about HOW he got here and out of his school. She probably enjoyed interrogating her brother but other people's brother's she had no power or right to do the same for. "Oh, I see," She nodded. Like she didn't know he was here for LEx. It was written all over his face. Yup. She could read faces you know. One of her many specialties.

"I hope you enjoy it," She added with a grin. "Oh look the players are up. Here's Lex there! You know her right? Wave she might be able to see you!" Totally chatting casually here. Mhhmm.


Leaving the poor shy kid to himself, Cassia turned her attention to another fellow fourth-year, "Why thank you Mo and hello," She smiled broadly. Well she was just called pretty so such smile was necessary. Compliments were always welcome. Anytime really. Especially with biting Jarvey on her lap shooting all kind of lame insults. Did the creature think she was going to feel offended and let him go? Nope. Never happening.

Seeing that Mo had a companion, the fourth-year offered a wave and a smile to the fellow fourth-year snake. Lots of Fourth-year, cool, huh.

Now her attention was back to the pitch and to the firstie commentating.

Finally. Some scorage for the Slytherins."GOOO SNAKES!" Jayden smiled, cheering along with the green crowd. Jared was going to be so happy.

Wherever he was.

She sighed grumpily, thinking of her significant other lately just made her so... cranky. He was never around and was always holed up in the Slytherin common room. Didn't he know she NEEDED attention? Gosh, she was lacking majorly lately in the attention department, and if there was anything Jayden disliked, it was not having attention.

Suddenly, she was distracted by the faint smell of gummy snackfood products. WHERE IN MERLIN'S PANTS WHERE THEY?

Much need for gummy worms. ASAP.

Oh wow, the boy Forrest would like to be was waving at him! Never mind the fact that he'd forgotten his name--Alexander? Abraham? What? Did it matter much?--or that he didn't know anything about him. He just... some people were like that, y'know? He was deadly intimidated by the older boy, because he looked so cool! He flushed and looked away quickly. He really should acknowledge the wave, but how could he, really?

So. Ignoring. Acting as if he hadn't seen. It would totally work.

But he couldn't ignore the Captain now, could he? She didn't intimidate him as much as the cool boy there, so she got the timidest smile and a wave back. And yes, he'd like to join them. He hated being alone in the crowd--he liked belonging to somewhere, see?--so, he simply got up and walked to her. And kept ignoring the cool boy next to him. And then gasped. What if they were girlfriend-boyfriend and he was bothering them with his presence and--he flushed, eyes all open, and looked between the two Hufflepuffs with utter embarrassment and fear.

"Of course. It was her idea." She'd suggested the red bow and Cat had decided to run with it. She nudged him, "If you mess up my hair, you have to fix it." And then it would probably be even more messed up so this was all around a bad thing for Cat, yes?

Speaking of Alice. Whoops. Blocked. Cat was most definitely cheering for her own house but she had no doubt that Alice would get them.

Cat was getting looks. She smiled at Dora even though Dora had not smiled at her. It was the thought that counted, right? At least she was polite. Cassia got a smile AND a wave back, much better.

Tobias was absolutely RIGHT. This was absolutely the BEST VIEW EVER.

He was absolutely giddy with excitement. Especially since, like, he KNEW who some of these players were. AND COMMENTATING WAS SO FUN.

Okay. Maybe he shouldn't have started on the 5th bag of gummy worms.

...

...

He ate another gummy worm SUPERQUICK before grasping the mic again.

"Hudson throws the quaffle up into the air and PUNCHES it DIRECTLY TOWARDS STARK! That was good aim, wooooooow. Stark makes the catch, but quickly fumbles as Cambridge flies super close to him from his blind side and startles him. Fischer is waiting below and catches the quaffle... hey, neat teamwork!" That was pretty nifty. Tobias proceeded to watch her fly up the pitch before realising HE WAS FORGETTING TO DO HIS JOB. "OH right... so Fischer is headed straight back towards the goalpost to have another go an-... oh.... the quaffle is gone. OH OH OH! KINSLEY HAS IT! That was super sneaky, way to go!" Because Tobias was supporting EVERYONE here. "Kinsley is headed for the goalposts... his teammates are making sure he has a clear path... it's just him and the keeper now, HE SHOOTS... SUNG SAVES IT!"

Suddenly someone flew RIGHT BY THE COMMENTATOR'S section so fast that Tobias' hat was nearly blown off. He caught it and stared after the figure in green who was now raising her bat. "Ferrier looks like she's gonna get back at the Gryffindors for that super neat bit of teamwork. She bats a bludger right at the Gryffindor chasers. Fischer yells out a warning but TOO LATE. LEX is HIT." Nooooooooooooo. Tobias didn't like that. STAHHHP. "Are you okay, Lex? Right in the knee... oucchhhh. I'm sure some ice cream will make you feel better."

Erm... anyway.

"So that was a great bludger hit from Ferrier. Boy, she's strong." He was pretty sure he heard the impact from where he was sitting.

"Back to the quaffle, Sung throws it to Fischer 'cause it looks like Cambridge is a bit preoccupied at the moment. Fischer flies down the pitch going over and under and around and EVERYWHERE. Cambridge is coming up to help but Fischer is already at the goalposts. She doesn't even slow down as she shoots... Hudson dives for it... AND FISCHER SCORES! Told ya you'd do it!"

Tobias leaned back again to take a breath but NOT FOR LONG.

"So the score is still 10-0 to Slytherin."

As the Slytherin keeper looked for a teammate to throw the quaffle into, she looked for a second like she was batting away a pesky fly or something, and a flash of gold glinted by her hand. Probably just some jewelry.

"Hudson LAUNCHES the quaffle back into play and Stark flies up to meet it in the air. He seems to survey the situation around him for a split second before deciding to take the route ABOVE the players and getting to the goal hoops that way. Before he reaches them he passes off to Kinsley who's just managed to escape the block from Fischer. Kinsley keeps the quaffle safe under his arm until he reaches the goalposts. He ducks away from Cambridge, HE SHOOTS... SUNG SAVES IT AGAIN! You'll get it next time Theo!" Tobias' predictions always came true.

"So on with th- WAIT."

!!!!!

“GUYS. NO SERIOUSLY. GUYS. SEEKERS HAVE SEEN THE SNITCH!” Wow, they were FAST. “Both seekers go into a dive headed straight for the bottom of the goalposts! They’re neck and neck.. Oh MERLIN, I can’t watch! Oh right... I have to. Well, fine. They’re still going for it! THEY’RE GOING TO HIT THE POSTS! ... both seekers pull out of the dive, but Montmorency has his fist in the air! He’s caught the snitch for Slytherin! Slytherin lead 60-0."

IN

TENSE

WEEEEE~ Kurumi said hi to him~ Daichi always liked it when he saw Kurumi around the school again. But at the same time he didn't because he knew she was leaving after the match and that made him sad!

Just below him, he noticed Cassia waving to someone in his direction. Was that supposed to be for him...or not? Well, either way , The prefect waved back without thinking too much and licked the ice cream. When the match begun, Daichi jumped a little hearing the LOUD voice of the little commentator...Tobias his name was right? Well, he couldn't really blame him because Daichi would have done the same thing if he had been commentating. Just scream in the mic~

OOOH! Daichi sat at the edge of the seat when the game was at full speed at once. His eyes followed the line of the quaffle each time it was passed and he CHEERED LOUDLY when Slytherin made the first goal. "GOOOOO SLYTHERIIIIIIN~!" Yup yup he was proud!

His eyes then trained on Dylan and Penelope as they both seemed to have found the snitch and Daichi jumped up on his seating place, waving his arms around like crazy. "GO DYLAAAAAAN!" he cheered. "BREAK A LEEEEEEEG!" He knew it was an expression used to give someone good luck but in this sense it was used LITERALLY

*cue evil laughter*

And then he caught the Snitch. Perfect Mr.Captain caught the snitch. Daichi's face fell for a second. JUST A SPILT SECOND before he realized he should be cheering. "YES! WAY THE GO CAPTAIN~!"

MWEH.

Well, here she was...

..At the match.

..Yay?

Did she really want to be? Of course not, she could've been at the Room of Requirment..or maybe at the Butterfly Garden writing a letter to Enre. She knew that she had to write him a letter, because she was desperately missing her stud muffin of man, that she was proud to call her boyfriend. But, Nicola did know that she HAD to be here, because of a certain fourth year wearing the green robes. And it was because of this fourth year that she was here, because all she kept hearing about was how amazing he was at it. So, here she was, for proof of this claim he so proudly happened to make.

With everyone standing and cheering around her, it seemed to be very very frantic all at the same time. It was a bit difficult for the redhead to process it all at once. Enre did try to explain the game to her, but she still didn't fully understand it. But she did make sure to try and pay attention to what the fourth year green boy, who she called No-Name, was doing during the match to see for herself if he was as amazing as he said. She adjusted her blouse a little bit, before she decided to stand up with her fellow classmates. Seeing as to how she wouldn't really be able to see much if she continued sitting, she figured why not stand.

So far...she wasn't that impressed with No-Name (West Odessa)

She wasn't studying? Then what was she- ... OH! Everything suddenly became a lot clearer and Alec let out a small nervous chuckle before responding with, "Got anything interesting so far, Captain?" Or just anything? Except... the game hadn't started, had it?

Also, she had gummy worms? Really? GRIN. "Do you ever go anywhere without a packet of gummy worms?" It was nice, actually. Meant you could always count on her to have some with her. "But yeah please! Have you put some in yours?" Or was that another silly question?

OH HEY HE WAS MISSING THE GAME! ... Or... it had started and, according to Tobias, Slytherins had already scored! Already! By Penelope's Man with the jaw whose name Alec didn't really know. He... should find out one day. Really.

And Slytherin had blocked a shot too! ... This game was going by rather quickly, wasn't it?

Alec's eyes fell on Forrest again who... was ignoring him? Or... maybe he didn't seem to notice the wave? That was probably it. The guy wasn't mean, from what Alec had gathered from their brief meeting down at the Start of Term Feast. Except, this little hiccup did leave the sixteen year old feeling heavily embarrassed and so, naturally, he sat there ruffling his hair.

... DUDE WAS COMING!

Cough. No, really, he was approaching them and a small grin started spreading across Alec's face. "Hey! You enjoying the game?" Also, why did he look so... well... what was with that look? Did Alec have something on his face? Or his hair? ... He hoped not! Especially the hair!

WAIT. WAIT. WAIT. SNITCH?!

The Hufflepuff turned his head sharply to look towards the tiny, walnut-sized golden ball and the two Seekers darting after it. They were going to hit the posts? WAS TOBIAS SERIOU- ... Oh hey! Dylan got it! That was close!

Ella smiled and shook her head. "Nothing interesting just yet." But she had her eyes on the pitch in case she saw anything of interest. Oh and seeing as her hands were occupied with ice cream and note taking, the blonde leaned and placed a kiss on the boy's cheek. BEAM.

"Not really, no." Because what if she needed them and she didn't have them? Gummy worm emergencies were a possibility, y'know, and Ella wanted to be prepared just in case. As she was placing some on top of Alec's ice cream, she grinned and nodded. "Mine is already loaded with them. Tastes much better that way, I think."

And then the game was happened and Ella watched on curiously. Hulk was playing chaser today? Merlin, she was quite good at it. Kat was a good keeper but Hulk was getting close nearly every time to scoring. The blonde clapped for her, a small smile on her face.

And here came little Forrest!

"Hi there!" She greeted cheerfully as the little puff stopped by them. But why...was he gaping like that? "You okay, Forrest?" Was this the gummy worm emergency she'd been thinking about earlier? "How do you feel about sweets?" And she offered the open bag of gummies to him, eyebrows slightly raised.

While she waited for the younger badger to take some, the blonde's green eyes went back to the pitch where lots was happening. Melanie the Clumsier was playing really well as was most of the other players on the pitch. She clapped a bit for Theo too cause friendship and stuff. Yup. Oh and snitch things were happening! O___O Merlin, that was close. Dylish and Penelope were both great, though.

And Tobias? Well he was cracking Ella up. His excitement was contagious and the blonde couldn't help but bounce and beam and get excited too.

Yay Quidditch!

Dora stood up and fist pumped and shouted and acted completely out of character when Alice scored, then sat back down and mellowed out again when Theo missed and Alexa got hurt and all sorts of uninteresting things happened. Theo would score again, though, she was positive.

"He likes to play with clothing," She responded after sipping her drink again, reaching out and giving him an affectionate pet behind the ears. He responding with much kinder insults that were edged with fondness and nibbled on her fingers before going back to tossing out insults to other quietly and pulling on the loose strings of Cassia's clothing. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a pouch, handing it to Cass. "Feed him one of these, frozen pieces of meat. He'll love you for it." Or grow to love her for it.

Either way the jarvey was already alert and eager when he spotted the pouch and her attention was back on the match.

Oh Nigel. "Hey Nigel." That was decent enough hello, yeah? Though she didn't give him a smile or anything. She was just sorta clapping in a slight haze, eyes trained on the blur of red and green. Daaaaaaaaayum. They were good teams.

"I used my muggle gel pens." Blue side glanced at Cassia. "'twas simple really, though I had to cover up this cheek," she pointed at her left one. "with concealer 'cause I kept writing the rawr mirror style." 'Twas a PAIN. A PAIN. "I didn't know who to cheer for. Ya know, Alice and West and Theo reasons. And I didn't wanna be one of those people who showed up in boring regular clothes." Bleugh, no. Not for this girl. "I knoooooooow. I dunno how I managed to scrape together enough for this match." Honestly. "Especially since they're making us PAY for FOOD."

Ridiculous.

Hmppppht.

"'Sup?" Blue repeated, grinning at Dora. It was the cool kid thing to say, therefor Blue would repeat whenever possible. The fourth year touched her headband-slash-scarf and beamed. "It's not mine, obviously. Cassia lent me one." Thank YOU Cassia.

"Hey one of the nicest guys I know." She waved cheerfully at Mo. Compliments were always appreciated so thank you very much!

CAT. She had cake with her, right? Cat always had cake. Cat and cake went hand in hand. That was Cat's THING. That and being very fashionably late. She leaned forward. "CATERINA. Haaaaiiiii." And then leaned back, focusing on the match again.

"RAWR RAWR GRYFFINDOR......GO GO SLYTHERIN." 'Cause HISSSSSS HISSSSS SLYTHERIN kinda sucked. Blue got up and didn't a Mexican wave because WOOOH. Excitement.

Forrest managed to close his mouth and blink away as his eyes got back to their normal size. He nodded shyly when the cool boy asked him that. He didn't know yet whether he was enjoying the game, but who was he to defy the cool boy? He looked at the pitch. Surely it couldn't be so--

"Yes, um, thanks." He forced a smile at Captain as he took a gummy and chewed it slowly while watching the game. He had to admit, it did look cool. It wasn't even close to football of course, but it was on brooms and if bludgers weren't really much of a life-threat--he gasped as Slytherin caught the Snitch. Mweh. His face fell, but at least he was watching the game now.

"D--does it--hurt, much, a bludger?" Avoiding every kind of eye-contact and trying not to giggle at Tobias' commentary as he sat next to Ella.

Quidditch.

Her excuse to break off of studying for a few hours or so. She really needed the break considering she had once again went to bed late and had fallen asleep into one of her textbooks. It was beginning to become a habit and maybe it was time she took things a little slow. Therefore quidditch was a good idea.

Wearing the only red sweater she had, Renesmee made way towards the stands. Not a chance she'd wear green, it wasn't that she hated them but red was just the team she was going for today.

Buuut where to sit? The Hufflepuff looked around with a pout trying to spot anyone she knew, because there wasn't a chance she'd sit on her own..that be odd. Aah and thankfully she wouldn't because soon she spotted her fellow red head. The Durmstrang newbie. She got extra respect cause you know keep the red head legacy going.

"Hey, mind if I sit?" The answer would surely be yes. Red head code, that was all.

As for the match. Who was in the league?

Both girls got a broad grin - even Dora, who insisted on calling him by all his names even when everyone else just called him by two whole letters. Maybe that was their thing and he should call her by all her names.

What were all her names?

"Dora... what's your middle name? So I can return the favor?" He leaned around Cassia to ask, giving the Slytherin girl a wink.

"I know how to fix hair," Mo informed Cat. Quietly, though, since Dora would give him eyes and he didn't need to hear about this later. "I have two sisters and please don't tell anyone because I don't want to spend my mornings coming out the firsties. Just... if I muss you a bit." And he touched her hair again because he could. And hey, there's a game. "Wave for Alice?"

Nigel turned to Cassia and said shrugging. "Yeah. I just want to watch a good match." He did not feel the need to root for either team. But if something awesome happened he would be cheering.

"Just want to see West and Theo score some goals." Nigel said to Dora. Plus Ascanius was also a Chaser for them. That was a good trio. Plus awesome names like the commentator said. Nigel was trying to follow the match.

When another fourth year showed up Mo! Nigel gave Mo the bro nod. He knew what it meant. Plus he was probably meeting somebody here and did not want to be too distracted.

And then the person Mo was waiting for showed up. Cat. Nigel thought her name was. Another fourth year.

This was turning into the Fourth Year Corner. Now to cheer and shout to the people Nigel knew.

Still had no idea what was going on. And honestly she really was trying to understand it. But she did hear the loud Commentator shout out about some Stark kid scoring some points for the green team. She supposed that was a good thing? She didn't actually see that person score, but judging by Commentator and the other students were also wearing green, clearly found this a good ting.

As she was watching them go back & forth...back & forth, her neck was almost starting to hurt a little bit. Nicola was soon becoming a little frustrated with the turning of her neck so much, that she huffed a little bit. She soon reached into her pocket and pulled out a nail file. If there was anything that kept the sixteen year old from freaking out, it was definitely filing her nails, along with brushing her gorgeous locks of course. Come to think of it, Nicola was actually going to brush her hair the moment this match was over! Now she was excited!

Actually.

Why not just leave and go do that instead?

No..

She was just about to get up when she turned her head seeing that redhead she got along with pretty well. Although, she does pout a lot. But anyways, she asked if she could with her? Nicola pondered this thought for a brief moment and then smiled a little, while still filing her nails, "If you want.." She scooted down a little bit giving her some room to sit.

Nothing interesting. Nodnod. "Maybe it'll get interesting..." Well... yeah. It was bound to, right? Because this was Quidditch they were talking about. Quidditch was always interesting in that sense. It was like some-- ... Oh? Cheek!kiss. "I... thanks?" he said, turning to grin at her and ruffle his hair. Could he kiss her in return or did that count as PDA? ... It probably did.

"So people can always count on you to have gummy worms?" That actually sounded kind of cool! And... had he asked her something along these lines before? It felt like it. Alec shook his head and grinned as he looked down at the gummy worm shower over his bowl of ice cream. "Thanks, Ells!" And there was a limey one right there! "Well... it's a great combination!" Ice cream and gummy worms. Nodnod.

So... Forrest dude... didn't seem to talk much. According to Alec, anyways. Some people were just like that, yeah? And Alec just wasn't used to it yet, probably. He smiled at the first year as the boy nodded to his question. At least he had answered. Bright side?

Okay... maybe... he should try and get the boy to speak? But not forcefully because that was just rude. It would be like somebody force feeding him, Alec, spinach. Lots and LOTS of spinach. Blech! ... But... Forrest. "Is there any team you're supporting today?"

Also, was that a LochNessie? GRIN and WAVE!

Commentating was EXHAUSTING. Tobias was pretty sure he'd been on his feet throughout the entire game so far. His co-commentator hadn't shown up, but that was absolutely fine 'cause he was NOT letting go of this microphone. He held it away from his face for a few moments to catch his breath; even HE wasn't used to talking this fast.

Annnnnnnnnnnd back to work.

Hehe... 'work'.

“GUYS THIS IS SUCH A HAPPY GAME, RIGHT?!” Tobias yelled through microphone at everyone. He was now well and truly BOUNCING and saw no reason to stop “I’m really feeling the positive vibes. It’s like-... oh, the match... right.” Kind of the reason he was up here with the microphone of power.

The players had been grappling with the quaffle for a while now... Tobias should probably... commentate.

"So that's Cambridge with the qua- no, wait... now it's Star-... no, now it's Fisch-... no, Kinsley." SIGH. "WILL YOU MAKE UP YOUR MINDS?! YOU'RE MAKING ME DIZZY! ... So, Kinsley with the quaffle and he passes off to Odessa, who has just flown out on to the pitch. I wonder where he's been. But yeah, Fischer comes out of NOWHERE and snatches the quaffle from him before he has a chance to do anything with it. West... West why are you just staring at her?"

What was going on? WAS THERE A WRACKSPURT OUT THERE?! Tobias waved his hands around his own ears just in case there was some kind of infestation. Didn't want to be attacked by a wrackspurt when he had a job to do!

"Oh, sorry... right... YES, that's Fischer again with the Quaffle... she shoots just as she reaches the scoring area, but it looks too short! Stark is ready and grabs the quaffle as it falls short of the goalposts. He wastes no time in flying straight back to his own goalposts where the Gryffindor keeper is waiting. WOAHHHH! Beaters Goldman and Edwards suddenly block his path, bats swinging wildly. HE'S NOT A BLUDGER YOU GUYS, STAHHHHP."

So VIOLENT.

"Stark passes off to Odessa who's mind is back on Quidditch again." The wrackspurt had left him alone. Good. "He sees Kinsley ready by the goalposts and tosses the quaffle to him... wow they must have been practicing that. Anyway, yeah, Kinsley barely has the quaffle for two seconds before HE SHOOTS AND SCORES!"

Tobias was OBVIOUSLY a Seer or something.

He was ABOUT to say the score when he saw it.

A bludger.

Headed for the stands.

"BLUDGERCOMINGSTRAIGHTATMYFACE!" he yelled out, because obviously that was what needed to be done in these circumstances. He needn't have worried though, because suddenly THERE SHE WAS AGAIN. "OH OH OH, Ferrier blasts a bludger STRAIGHT AT GREENWELL! Someone's been reading the beaters' bible, huh." Ferrier flew back into the middle of the pitched and shared a high-five-except-with-bats with fellow beater, Baltazar.

Tobias winced when he saw the bludger make impact. "Oooooh, ouch. Greenwell takes a bludger hit straight to the stomach. Wow... maybe... maybe take a second to catch your breath, Penelope? Score is at 70-minus 10 in favour of Slytherin."

Taking his hands off the microphone because his knuckles were starting to hurt what with gripping it so hard, Tobias scanned the pitch to see if he was missing anything. Nope, still normal.

If anyone cared to watch the official they might notice the little trail of gold about a foot behind her broom.

"Sung puts the quaffle back in play and Cambridge catches it. She starts to fly up the pitch but... oh she looks in pain. Oh noooo. Someone give that girl some ice cream!" STAT. "Cambridge passes to Fischer who takes advantage of the fact that the three Slytherin Chasers were focused on Cambridge. She flies back down the pitch, glancing around to check for obstacles. Ohhh no! Oh, it's okay. Baltazar nearly unseats her, but Fischer manages to avoid that. With a good natured gnash of her teeth she darts around the beater, reaches the goalposts... shoots... FISCHER SCOOORES!"

A sudden movement distracted Tobias and he started bouncing more than ever. "SEEKERS. SNITCH. SEEKERS. SNITCH."

FULL SENTENCES.

NO TIME.

Okay, maybe a little time.

"Montmorency spots the pitch but he's waaaaaaaaaaay over the other side. Where is it? I can't see it! Greenwell is forced to recover from the bludger hit and flies towards the middle of the pitch from the opposite side to Montmorency. THEY'RE FLYING STRAIGHT AT PROFESSOR JAMES! PROFESSOR YOU BETTER RUN... uhh... FLYYYY!"

This was better than TV.

Either Professor James saw the seekers too or she heard Tobias, because she suddenly flew straight up in the air with what sounded like an 'eeeek', revealing the snitch. WHO WAS GOING TO GET IT? "Both seekers are headed straight for the middle of the pitch where the snitch is waiting... they're either going to catch it or crash... WAIT..."

Suddenly they met each other and passed in the middle of the pitch. Tobias looked frantically to see who was victorious. "GREENWELL CATCHES THE SNITCH FOR GRYFFINDOR! Wow, talk about good recovery! She's like the anti-bludger!"

This was gettin' GOODER.

"Slytherin still lead, but Gryffindor are catching up. 70 - 50 to Slytherin!"

BLUEEE.

Cat leaned across Mo sort of using him as a human wall so that she could look at her other favorite Ravenclaw. "HI BLUE!" Though she was distracted by cheering and quickly turned back to the match. Slytherin was rocking the faces off of Gryffindor, and she was a proud little Snake.

"OOOODESSAAAAA!" Just showing some love to a friend and all.

"You do?" Cat grinned about this as she pulled herself back into her own seat and stopped leaning against him. She also patted his arm in a silent apology of sorts. Got excited there, whoops. She made a cross over her heart, "I won't tell, but now you're allowed to mess up my hair." And she'd totally make him fix it and it would be funny.

"Alice." She squinted, trying to pick Alice out of the blurring players. "GOO ALICE!"

So Ella was a bit worried about Alexa and her knee. Merlin, that hit looked like it hurt. She'd probably need loads of ice cream after the match, yeah? Ella would share...add gummy worms to the ice cream too if she wanted. Just saying.

"I think you're probably right." What with all the good players and such. Speaking of, that Derry girl was a bit of a beast, yeah? Ella meant that in a good way, obviously. She was just really a good beater. That was going in her notes. Also, he didn't really need to thank her. "Not a problem." BEAM! And in went some ice cream cause yeah, YUM!

"They certainly can!" Much to the dismay of Oakey who...oddly wasn't here. Not that she cared or anything. She was still cross with the guy but she was curious as to why he wasn't sitting with Ariana. "Welcome!" And she picked up a gummy worm from her own bowl and nommed it happily. "I completely agree." And could she take credit for how awesome these gummy worm ice cream sundaes were?

Forrest wasn't talking to Alec and that made Ella smile a little bit. Was he, Forrest, afraid of Alec? No, it couldn't be that. Maybe...he just didn't know how to act around older boys? Must be a guy thing. Shrug.

"You're welcome," The blonde said as she watched him take a few. She was glad he'd accepted because she totally supported the consumption of gummy worms. Encouraged it, even.

His question? Ella frowned a bit and eyed the pitch thoughtfully. "It does hurt." Honest. "But it's not so bad and it's just a part of the game." Violent sport, Quidditch. "Plus the healer is usually able to heal you up pretty quick if you need it." Brightside? Also, she wasn't blushing for reasons. Bludger bruise reasons. Nope. And she was avoiding eyecontact with Alec for those reasons too.

Speaking of bludgers...Penelope took a hard hit. Merlin. The blonde cringed but was glad when the younger girl shook it off and continued playing. And hey, she got the snitch too?

"Nice one, Penelope!"

Oh and heyyyyyyyy Ness!

"Sup," She responded with a wide grin. Sure all the cool kids said stuff like that. Dora would do if they said it to her first. "I know it's not your's but it STILL looks really good on you." Ravenclaws were capable of pulling off any color. "And I like your face too, it's exceptionally pretty today." Griiin.

"Yelena." She supplied with a widening grin. He was gonna call her by both of her names too? "My name is more of a mouthful than yours." So many more syllables, or at least more difficult to say for some.

She was half sure he wouldn't be able to keep up the charade, but another part of her (the half that was constantly finding out new things about Mo) knew he was all Ravenclaw, and very dedicated to a task if he wanted to be.

So she would see how this went.

"That is a GREAT reason to be here." He got approving nods and smiles from Dora. Those were two reasons she was here in the first place, to cheer on West and Theo. And Alice. Another very big reason right there.

Speaking of West, there he was. She got up on her feet again and cheered for him and Theo while waving around a gryffie flag. See? She was cheering for everyone at once.
