Bart was excited.. No he was more than excited he was HYPER excited. It showed by the rushing walk he was doing to the stands. Once he got there he turned at the turnstiles and waited for Charely. "COME ON.. COME ON.. We are going to miss Wade... The match is going to start." Gosh he new the man was old, but seriously walk faster and why was Luc taking forever as well. [

Once they had paid to get in Bart hurried up the stands looking around for the best possible seat. This was great.. Hogwarts wasn't his cup of tea since he got his wish to go to Australia, but since he was stuck at home for the moment why not go with Charely to see Wade play. It was going to be great, plus it was his mum's old house so he could cheer them on. Even though he didn't even know who they were play, but who cares it was QUIDDITCH!!

Finally finding the seat he wanted Bart stretched his neck looking at the pitch.

There was a lot of pride going through Charely's mind as he headed to the Stands paying his way in for him, his nephew Luc, and Bart close by. By close by he meant that they were within eyesight in the case of Bart. Yes, it was his old house team, Hufflepuff playing today that got him feeling well.. but most of all important was his son, Wade playing that got his 'Proud Father' feelings going. So after they were situated close to the top of the stands, he waited with them in anticipation.

--

Did his Uncle know how slooooow he was dragging him, aka Luc, and Barty at reaching the top of the stands? Noooope. Luc couldn't help the pouty faces he made on the way.

Finaaallly, they were allowed in, and you know just as soon as his dear Uncle paid the way, Luc rushed up with Bart to sit right at the top. Yep. They get to see EVEEEEEERYTHING now. Luc took out his camera that his parents who so dearfully worked in converting muggle items into wizarding use for him. Poor Vicky was still on bed rest, and she needed to see the action. Hehe. "This is going to be great, Barty!" Luc turned it on to view at the pitch below them.

After the traditional pre-game snogs with his girlfriend, West made his way to the stands. Of course he was here, not just to support Alice, but also because it was important to watch the other teams and take note of their plays and everything. He had a sketchbook with him today even. Serious business, Quidditch.

............... but also loads of fun, and it was always nice to get to watch a game for a change, see it from the outside rather than from on the pitch when you couldn't really look and enjoy it the same as you might otherwise like. Had to focus on your job, not everyone else's after all.

..... also, West checked for fog. Just to be safe. He didn't relax fully until he was confident there was none, and that the chill in the air was just because of the season and no other reason.

Botros was here. He was. He had his extra warm jumper on, and he was wearing some sweat pants and a hoodie even! Totally hip today. Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs were both feirce on the field, he didn't buy or make any signs or pompoms or any of that jazz. He never did, so.

Climbing up the stands, the Ancient Runes professor took his usual seat in the middle bench, not too close to the field and not too far. He could see everything and everyone here, with little risk of getting his hat stolen plucked out of his head.

Kat was here, and she was supposed to commentate for the first ever Quidditch match of the term. Well, pretty big bang for her then. It was her first Quidditch commentating thing too, so experience for her. It would be fun too. Well, hopefully. The Slytherin Head Girl made her way to the Stands, and dropped two galleons in the turnstiles. Was that necessary? They didn't really need to pay for Quidditch anymore, you know. It was sad but whatever. This was her match, as a commentator.

FEW PEOPLE. Hmm. They'd start pouring in later on, because Quidditch was Quidditch and everyone just loved it. And plus, the others were really supportive of their houses too so that was another thing as well. But anyway, she snatched the microphone. TIME TO START THE PARTY, YO.

"Gooooooood day, Hogwarts! Welcome to the FIRST EVER Quidditch match for this term. It's me, Katrina Hudson, and I'll be your commentator throughout the match. " Merlin, this was a lot of talking. Kat was glad she had brought her water bottle. Before going back to the microphone, Kat cleared her throat. "For today's match, we have the LIONS lead by Captain Alice Fischer... and we also have the BADGERS lead by Captain Ella Bishop, she's my blonde!student leader buddy by the way." Because that sort of important information, just saying.

Oh, right. For the roster. Kat took out a piece of parchment from her pocket and squinted at it. Familiar and unfamiliar people, hmm. "Defending their pride of lions, we have Penelope Greenwell as Seeker, resident biter Captain Alice Fischer as Keeper, Tag Kildare and Jake Keller as Chasers, and my pseudo!sister Alexa Cambridge as Beater!" Okay, as for the Hufflepuff roster. So much talking. GOSH. "And defending the badgers' side, we have the resident hair ruffler Alec Summer as Seeker, small but terrible Tobias Tempus as Keeper, accompanied by Captain Ella Bishop, Forrest Charlton and Lotus Wisteria as Chasers, and Minerva Wheatborn and head buddy Wade Potter as Beaters!"

Okay, everything was all good until the match started until SOMEONE SHOVED A PAPER AT HER FACE. "WHAT?" Kat snatched the paper immediately and squinted at it, before getting her microphone again. "There has been a roster change for Gryffindor. Alexa Cambridge will now play as their Keeper, and Captain Alice Fischer as their Beater. That is a penalty of minus ten point for Gryffindor." And then a quick drink from her water bottle. Phew.

The game was gonna start now? Kat could see all the players in the air, as well as their new Quidditch Official. Alright then. Time to get back to commentating. This was... going to be tiring, and she knew it. "The quaffle is released... and the match begins!" Inner!flail. Keeper eyes were watching closely, of course. "Lotus Wisteria grabs the quaffle just SECONDS before Tag Kildare could. Nice one! She makes her way towards the hoops, dodging the Gryffindor defenders with ease. She aims, with Lex having her SERIOUS face on, and... DING! Lotus Wisteria scores the first score of the match!" And... was that her pseudo!sister growling?

HMM. Hmm.

Kat had consulted her water bottle before the game could resume after that Hufflepuff named Lotus had scored a goal. Like, a really quick drink because QUIDDITCH and she needed to be focused and all. Her eyes were now back to the game and she watched the people down. Right, it was quaffle to Gryffindor. And she could get back to her microphone now. Yep.

"Alexa Cambridge throws the quaffle back in the game. The unicorn lover...... I mean, Tag Kildare catches the quaffle and swerves his way towards the other side of the Pitch, avoiding the Hufflepuff defenders. He passes the quaffle to prefect Jake Keller, who nearly dropped it. Good thing he didn't drop it though. He then flies closer to the scoring area. He aims and sc-NO. Tobias Tempus saves! No score change. Still in Hufflepuff's favour. And his best bud, Forrest Charlton, SUUURE looks happy over there. Better not get distracted!" Water, she needed water. Cue another quick water bottle drink!

Okay... the Head Girl took a moment to BREATHE before dragging her attention back to the match. Merlin, this actually was a LOT of effort. "Tobias throws the quaffle back, and Captain Ella catches it. Nice catch, blonde!student leader buddy! She makes her way to the pitch, diving down as one of the Gryffindor defenders speed towards her. That was so close! And she passes to Forrest Charlton. Good thing he's got his head in the game. He aims and.... DING! Forrest Charlton scores for Hufflepuff!" Wait. Hang on. IT WAS A BLUDGER. "The Beaters all position their bats as they see a BLUDGER. But the bludger connects with Wade Potter's bat and CRACK! It hits.... ALICE FISCHER."

Oh boy, that wasn't good. "From now on, I'd stay away from Alice if I were you, Wade." Just saying.

Trying not to be biased had proven to be slightly difficult for the former Gryffindor. Back at his hut he had held both the Gryffindor scarf as well as the Hufflepuff one in his hands, debating which one he would cheer on. In the end, Nick had decided on just a grey sweater and black pants. He could have chosen both scarves but he didn't want to carry all those things around.

So as he walked up the stands, he heard a female voice shouting through out the stadium and he knew the match had began. Ugh, he hated being late. Walking up higher, the Groundskeeper found himself a spot to sit and crossed his arms. He was for Gryffindor but he wasn't going to shout that out loud.


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

A huge sweater, too big for his slim body covered Daichi as he had wrapped himself in it. It was getting colder and colder and the ex-slytherin shivered a little as he made his way up the stairs. He had heard about the first Quidditch match and although it was not Slytherin who had to play he still wanted to come and check it out. After all, he loved Quidditch and really missed it. He also had missed playing it but he didn't want to obey orders from that former idiot Captain Montmorency....ugh. Finding a seat, Daichi sat down and watched.

He should have brought some snacks.

First Quidditch match! She surely was going to be there. She always did. She had to cheer on Lex who was keeping? Cassia couldn't remember exactly what the lioness had told her since she was pretty much excited and babbling about all the things and the snake hated to ask again and interrupt. But look! She was wearing her RED cardigan. Quite obvious for whom she was cheering, right? For Lex. Duh.

The fifth-year looked around then marched up the stands. She thought of waiting for Dora since they were meant to meet but decided to go and reserve a good spot since people were already coming. They needed to have a good view. Both cheering for besties!

Choosing a proper spot, the blond sat down and peered at the field waiting for the match to start and keeping an eye out for Dora to draw her attention once she got here. Ooh. And Kat was commentating! HAI!

...

Players were OUT! MATCH!

Merlin's. Most. Tangled. Beard.

Being a commentator was actually really tiring, but since this was Kat's first try, it wasn't really that. She could still manage a few more minutes. Her water bottle still had water though, which was good. Maybe she'd drank halfway already, but at least it still had water. She could survive a few more. Yep, she could. Now back to the game.

"Alexa throws the quaffle back to the pitch, with a little more force. Tag Kildare grabs the quaffle before a Hufflepuff defender could and swerves towards the scoring area. Nice swerve, you got there. But anyway, he passes the quaffle to Jake Keller. He aims, but... as always, Tobias blocks. Always. Of course." That kid blocked almost every single attempt Gryffindor made. Like, honestly? Giant (but actually short in real-life) Squid in front of those hoops. Hmm. 'kay. "And a happy Charlton. Yeah. Fistpump for you. Woohoo."

But then all the action happened again. Really now? Could they WAIT? "Tobias throws the quaffle back in play, which is caught by no other than Captain Ella Bishop. She makes her way to the scoring area, and swerved and dived away from the Gryffindor defenders. HEY, where were the other Hufflepuff chasers? That didn't really matter because she was now aiming and... DING! Ella Bishop scores! It's okay, Lex!" Kat was about to put the microphone down until she saw something glittery.

"Alec Summers and Penelope Greenwell see the snitch! And it's going... towards... the Quidditch Official? WHAT? WATCH THE HAIR. SHE HAS NICE HAIR. Ahem... anyway. Summers makes an advance, arm stretched out to grab it... but NO. Greenwell gets it! Greenwell grabs the first snitch of the match! That makes it 30-30. It's a tie, for now! One snitch capture for you, Gryffindor! You go, Gryffindor!" And none for Hufflepuff, bye.

Just don't look down, don't look down...looking down would be a poor choice.

Ascanius repeated this mantra over and over again in his head as he shakily made his way up through the stands. His knuckles were white from gripping the guard rails as he made his way up. All he had to do was find a seat and then not look down and MAYBE he would be able to breathe. Maybe.

Finding a seat not too high and not so close that he could see the ground, Ascanius fell into it with a certain level of exhaustion.

Although...when he heard that Pen had scored...his mood improved. Snitch one for the girlfriend.

After a good luck kiss to his girlfriend, Ethan made his way through the stands to find a seat. It was almost surreal to be back in the stands after he hadn't been back to Hogwarts in some time.. even if it had only been a matter of months, but it was good to be back here even if only for a Quidditch match. And it was one he wasn't about to miss, the first one for Minerva to be playing in.

Not many students yet in the stands, it seemed, but green eyes searched the area for any sign of familiarity. Even if he was no longer a current student here, surely there would be someone he knew here. Maybe his cousin?

The first person those green eyes landed on and recognized was not a current student though.. but the former Ravenclaw made his way over to his former fellow prefect. "Daichi!" Ethan called over with a smile as he approached, then took a seat next to him. "Hey.. how have you been?" Nice to see someone from his graduating class.. he was sure he hadn't since end of last term.

He turned his head in the direction of the voice when he heard the announcer begin to speak. Oh.. another familiar face.. Kat was commentating? Ethan raised his hand in a casual wave towards the girl, then turned his eyes out toward the pitch. The Hufflepuff team should be coming out soon, he thought, green eyes searching the pitch. And there they were.. he politely clapped for everyone announced, then cheered extra loud when it was his girlfriend's turn. Go Minerva!

Okay so, Kat screwed her water bottle because she couldn't take her eyes off Quidditch. Though she might have to refill it later but yeah whatever. It was still EYES. ON. THE. GAME. Nothing else. Not even distracting people on the stands. Not to be rude, but this was business to her as much as it was business for her to play Quidditch.

"Quaffle back in the game. Jake Keller catches the quaffle and heads straight towards the scoring area. Apparently, he's been making some strategies with Tag? They're both passing the quaffle to one another, totally not letting the Hufflepuff defenders take it away from them. Tag gets hold of the quaffle and he aims for it. NO. Once again, Tobias acts like a gigantic squid in front of those hoops and blocks the quaffle. No score change." Yeah, okay.

And then... HMM. No eyes off the game. NOPE. "Tobias throws the quaffle back into the game and it is caught by his best bud, Forrest! Great catch! He then passes to Lotus Wisteria, who managed to dodge a Gryffindor defender. She passes to Captain Ella, who aims and... OH, the quaffle didn't get in the hoop. A miss. Too bad. Still the same score. BUT THEN THERE'S A BLUDGER. Alice Fischer was about to hit it, but then WADE hits it instead and send it to... Penelope Greenwell! Ouch. Clearly, someone has been reading the Beater's Bible."

Ascanius would kiss the pain away, right? And... back to her water bottle.

But then back to the game. "Alexa throws the quaffle back in play. Tag Kildare catches the quaffle just before a Hufflepuff defender could place his hands on it. He makes a dive and stays away from the other Hufflepuff defenders as he makes his way to the scoring area. He passed to Jake Keller, who aims and.... DING! Jake Keller scores for Gryffindor!" And then... was that a SNITCH. Golden snitch! And it was in front of KAT'S face. "GET OFF ME. GET OFF ME." The seeker were going towards her too.

O__________________O

UH-oh. Kat immediately ducked. MERLIN'S BEARD, was the Golden Snitch in love with her? Well, of course. They all loved her. Everyone loved and adored Katrina Hudson. Ahem, anyway. Kat then stood up and fixed her hair. "Alec Summer catches the snitch! Thanks a lot for the bad hair, though. Score is 80-30, in favour of the Badgers!"

Dora wasn't wearing so much gold and red as she usually did when she came to support her best friend, but that was only because her mood her her dressing in darker colors that some how managed to match the lion hat atop her head, and the only pair of sneakers she owned. It all somehow managed to work for the fifth year. She stopped by the kitchens to grab a snack, having skipped breakfast and made her way out to the grounds.

Good idea to meet Cassia here rather than in the castle considering how far off their dorms were. She pushed her glasses up on her face when she finally made it, not worried that she was a bit late and immediately spotted out Cassia. West, who was always easily spotted, got a wave as she made her wave over to the female snake and took a seat beside her. "Who's winning?" Gryffindor, right? That's who needed to win.

Pulling out her sandwich, she turned her eyes onto the pitch.

Kat took a moment to get her eyes off the game and wave at her fans friends who were watching the match. YAY. Hello everyone! Hi. I know, she was pretty. They can admire her beauty from afar, you know? I mean, that's what EVERYONE did anyway. In class, in the pitch, everywhere. Ahem. #Conceited. She had a game to watch, okay? Okay.

"Tobias throws the quaffle back in play. And he also got a thumbs up? Was that a thumbs up? I don't know. But his best bud Forrest totally gave him an encouraging hand gesture. Aww, that's cute. Sort of. But anyway... Lotus Wisteria catches the quaffle and performed some sort of offensive strategy thing with Captain Ella. Hey, that looked cool. Ella Bishop aims... but it is blocked by Alexa Cambridge! YOU GO, PSEUDO!SISTER. And... nope, there will be no grumbling allowed in this pitch, Wisteria. No score change." You got sassy finger snaps too.

This was an interesting game. There was TENSION and stuff. So cool. "Tag Kildare catches the quaffle from Alexa. He flies towards the other side of the pitch, where Jake is waiting for him." That sounded like an awkward love story on the pitch. "Jake catches the quaffle from Tag... then he aims and... AW. Another block from Tobias Tempus! Yeah, fistpump for you. Happy Charlton over there as well. Yay. Yay............ yay." He'd missed ONE block though so... hah. "The beaters have spotted the bludger! Alice Fischer prepares her bat, and so is Minerva Wheatborn... but the two girls missed it and Wade Potter hits the bludger! The bludger goes towards... Tag Kildare! Oh Merlin. The leprechauns and the unicorns won't be happy about this. Score is 80-20 in favour of the Badgers!"

Water break. WATER BREAK.

Dylan was here...because he didn't have anything else better to do today. No Pro games, practices...No pressing social engagements. Nothing else important had been going down, basically.

Spying a West, he moved up the stands...and down a ways to casually take a seat. It'd been a while since he'd seen West...and, you know, Dylan missed him. He wasn't even considering his sister and who she was...and all that stuff. What was done was done, right?

"Yo." Casual. Dylan was forever casual these days.

...and "GO PENELOPE!"

Yea, he'd seen that snitch grab. Hugs would be happening later because that's what friends did. HUGS....Not other things.

And finallyyy!! Fina made it up to the commentator's box, where it seemed the Head Girl was doing an alright job of it, but .... ooh, water break. Good thing she was here then, to share the voice calling thing.

"Hi Miss Hudson," she said, smiling politely. "Just here to help." And now eyes onto the game. Casting a quick sonorus on her voice;

"Cambridge puts the ball back into play .... Forrest Charlton enthusiastically catches the quab-ffleee... he makes a pass to his captain, who passes to Wisteria! Lotus shoots ........ She scores! Go Lotus! Who knew you could play like that?! It's a calculating thing. She'd be good with numbers if she gave a shot." Oops... getting side tracked.

"And what are they doing over there....... Merlin, that biter of a Gryffindor Captain... did she just try to attack the bludger .... with her teeth?!? Bad move, Fischer. You have a bat, for that!! You're not supposed to bite the bludger, those things are dangerous!" No seriously. They were. "The bludger swerves away from her ... clearly the teeth are just dangerous."

"And the quaffle is back into play again... 90-20, with the Rabid badgers leading........ but the sneetttchhh grabs are tied!"

While Kat was having her water break, she noticed Professor Hadley. Oh. HEY PROFESSOR. She waved at her, just because. She still wanted her back as the Arithmancy professor though, just saying. "Thanks for helping, Professor. Means a lot." And you should teach Arithmancy because French couldn't teach it to save his life.

Back to the game. KEEPER EYES. Squinting at the players. That's how you do it.

"Tobias throws the quaffle back in the game. Captain Ella catches the quaffle and then makes her way to the other side. She catches sight of Forrest Charlton, who catches the quaffle. For a new player, he's pretty good. And I could see Tobias over there by his hoops cheering and stuff. Distractions though, tsktsk. Forrest passes to Lotus Wisteria who aims... and DING! She scores for Hufflepuff! ... And there will be no teeth-gritting either, Cambridge. Save that for later! And... Beaters see the bludgers once again! They all fly towards the bludger but only Wade Potter's bat connect with it and hits Jake Keller! OUCH." Anya would be there, right? And Dylan? Her former Captain was here. #Jalan "SNITCH! The Seeker have spotted it! The snitch flies nears the stands... HEY! Watch the people! SAVE THE HAIR." Golden Snitches hated hair apparently. Was it jealous it didn't have hair? HMPH. "Alec Summers catches the snitch again! Score if 150-10 for the Badgers!"

But then. Stuff happened again before Kat could take a drink. UGH. Really now? "Alexa throws the quaffle back in play and it is caught by Tag Kildare, who has recovered from his bludger hit earlier. Tag flies towards the scoring area, but then passes to Jake Keller who aims... and DING! Score for Gryffindor! S'okay, Tobias. It was a close one! Score is now 150-20 still for the Badgers!" He'd have encouragement from Forrest at the end anyway.

Cue another water break. Time for Hadley's turn, yeah?

Okay.... since they were being extremely casual apparently... West just gave Dylan a sup!nod of acknowledgement and turned his eyes back to the pitch. He was sketching as he watched... marking out different plays as he saw them, eyes sharp.

And of course cheering for Alice and also Penelope when appropriate, but mostly he was just watching in an intent sort of way.

Cassia's brown eyes kept darting from flying figure to another trying to make out people. It was easier telling who Lex was since she was staying by the hoops guarding...or keeping. As Dora joined, Cassia flashed her a smile turning to look at her for a split second before her eyes returned to the field. IT was hard searching again. "Cool hat." She told the eaglette.

As for he question. "Hufflepuffs got two snitches," That gotta answer it. "Lions are doing quite well," According to Kat's and Professor Hadely's commentating not Cassia's observation, of course. The snake could barely tell people apart.

And Lex DID block a goal! Awesome!

Cassia sniffed and glanced again at Dora noticing she had a sandwich. She didn't bring snacks because her appetite wasn't active lately. She did have candy in her pocket though. She shoved a hand in her pocket and retrieved a chocolate frog. Felt legit to eat it while cheering for Lex. Also! Forrest was doing such a good job out there. Cassia made a mental note to congratulate him later.

"And how're things?" She randomly asked her friend. though it wasn't the best place to converse but a quick check wouldn't hurt.

What had she missed!?

Shoving to the front, Fern made herself a seat by squishing between two people already occupying one of the benches. But no sooner had she sat down, that she was standing up and screaming, "GO ELLA GO FORREST GO LOTUS YES YES! YAY WAAAADE!!!! YES ALEC!!!! NO NO NO GET 'EM TOBY BOOOOOOO GRYFFINDOR!!!!!"

Were they really 130 points in front of the Gryffindors? Fern wasn't surprised; Hufflepuffs were clearly the best. And that loss to Slytherin in Ancient Runes had only been because! Because well! She liked Professor Botros, but obviously there was some favoritism going on in that class.

Taking a water break...... Josephina listened to Kat give the commentary as she watched the plays.... OOPS... nice try there, Tobias; that was a hard miss! BUT ooh, Alec, quite the seeker. And yes. Nice hair for both seekers.... was that a requirement?

Oh. It was her turn again. "And Tobias puts the quaffle back into play, Lotus catches it... She flies towards the other end of the pitch... her fellow chasers right beside her.... Watch out Lotus!!! You've got a staring Lioness with a bat!! OH there! Good, she tosses it to her captain! Nice catch Ella!" Yes, yes. It was. "Oops, carefulllll Ella!!! Oh nevermind she's okay... but okay, throw it to your player, a litttlleee far though, but ooh, no Forrest got it!!! He's got great agility for a new player, yes, yes, he does!!! Nice going, Cambridge is on those hoops like a pro, i think she had too many chocolate frogs today, whatchu think, Hudson? Too much chocolate is NOT a good thing, even before quidditch. No protein in chocolate." She shook her head, for a minute, hoping Charlton got it... but eehhhhhhhhhhhhh gust of wiiinddd!!! "I thought quabblesss we're supposed to be windproof!!! Ah, nice try anyway, Forrest, you'll get the next one!"

Meanwhile, at the middle of the pitch.... "Look outttttttt for the bludgerrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!" Because Alice was on it and she remembered her bat this time. "Fischer's bat has connected with the bludger and it looks like ........" Hadley covered her eyes a moment and then opened them in time to see a falling badger. "That's gotta hurt!!! She's gonna neeeed a healler!" Can they get a timeout or where was that snitch!?! Catch it already! "Come on and catch that snitch soooo i can go seee herrrr"

Flailing head of house here.

Kat cherished her water breaks that, after taking a few gulps, she had finished all the water in her water bottle. HMM... okay. She'd be fine with that now because she was hydrated and ready to commentate. Merlin, why didn't anyone tell her that it was this tiring to be a commentator? Maybe it should've been part of the signup sheet. Kat might've signed it but well, maybe not so enthusiastically. But, hey, it was a fun experience. After her water break, Kat took Professor Hadley's place.

"Alexa Cambridge throws the Quaffle over to Jake Keller, who nearly dropped it. Good thing he didn't! He then swerved pass a few Hufflepuff defenders and dived down to dodge one. He goes nearer the scoring area, but sees nobody there. Where was Tag? No matter. Jake flies a bit closer, aims for it.... and DING! Tobias missing it by a CENTIMETER, Jake Keller scores for Gryffindor!" But then something else had caught Kat's eye. Something GOLD and shiny. "The snitch is back again! Summers and Greenwell are neck and neck, as if they were tied up together... but then. WAIT. I can't see." There was so many robes covering her view. All red and yellow colored robes. "Alec Summers has caught Hufflepuff's third and final snitch! Hufflepuff wins the first game of the term with 190 points!" Yay? Yay. Kat would have to congratulate the Badgers later, and acknowledge the Lions from a great game. It was fun to watch them.

AHEM. "And that's the end of the game. Congratulations, Hufflepuff! See you all, guys, at the next match, Slytherin vs. Ravenclaw. That's right, you'd have to watch me on the pitch this time. Be there, okay? This is Katrina Hudson, now signing off! Have a good day ahead, everyone!" And she was done. YES.

Might have to get a glass of water. Commentating was good but tiring. It almost felt like playing Quidditch, but not exactly the same. Yeah, okay. Good job, Kat. She mentally patted herself on the shoulder. Plus, she'd have to deal with a flailing Hufflepuff Head of House now too. Merlin...

Bart was watching as the players came out. This was so excited and then the announcer Bart stared probably longer than a child should stare at the pretty girl.Anyway.. back to quiddich. He looked around, why wasn't there many in the stands. That was just odd. EVERYONE at his school was in the stands. It made him so nervous that he would screw up. "Look.. Look there's Wade.. He's right there do you see him. Luc.. see him?" Bart jumped to his feet "GO WADE... GO.. ahh what are they called again?" He looked at Charely for help. H really should know this but honestly he knew more about his own school, because that's what was important.

As the game started he never sat back down. "Did you see that.. Oh man that has to hurt." Wade was amazing.. Why didn't anyone tell him he was so amazing. "Luc dude.. are you this good?" He looked at Charely more amazed then he should since he really wanted to still not like the man. "Were you this good?" you know back in the day when the school just opened because he felt Charely was old. Turning his eyes back to the game he couldn't believe how great Wade was. NICE HIT WADE!! AWESOME!" he turned to them again, "Crickey they're good."

Oh look the snitch. It was such a close game and Bart was clapping and screaming so much he thought he might not talk the rest of the day. When that boy on the broom caught the snitch he cheered because it was Wades team that just won. "GREAT JOB WADE" He looked excitedly towards Charely "Can we play some when we get home? Can you teach me to be like that." he pointed towards Wade.

______________________________________________

Once out of the locker room Minerva quickly made her way to the stands. She wouldn't normally go to the stands after just playing, but she had to go to the stands. Ethan was in the stands. A little annoyed she didn't play as well as she wanted to, she tried to look past that. She didn't get hurt. That's all that mattered. No getting hurt this time and she didn't get bit by Captain Biter. Which was a miracle because she was a beater today so she had every chance in the world to nail Min in the arm. She would thank the captain with cookies or something later. Right now her focus was one thing and that was seeing someone that was watching her play.

She felt special right at that moment, something she wasn't use to feeling a lot of the time, but he had come from Uni just to watch her play. He wasn't at school anymore, he could have said he was busy, but no he came to the match and watched and cheered and that meant the world to her. Seeing him she picked up her pace flinging her arms around him and putting him in a big hug. "Hey you" She smiled and kissed his cheek. "Did you have fun today?" She hoped he did at least. Smiling as she saw Daichi sitting next to him. This was great seeing both of them in the stands. It felt more normal to her than the whole term so far.

Words couldn't describe how impressed and proud Charely was of Wade. That's my boy.. It was difficult to remember to look at the other players on how they were doing thanks to the very enthusiastic Bart next to him, "They are Hufflepuffs," Charely gently told him. Though where Wade was looking helped. Hmm.. he's definitely keeping close to Minerva and.. was that Alex? His brows furrowed as he tried to remember all the names from the letters from Wade when he talked about his friends, though Min and Alex did come up more frequent if you exclude Indy, of course.

Ah.. so it was Alec. Thank you commentary, yes, him and the Badger team were very good.. He could see talent in all of the players, actually. Their Captains did a great job in forming the teams. The Lions were definitely not slacking, as he saw them put up a great fight. Right into the very end, making him jump to his feet with the others giving a very heartfilling clap, "Bravo! Excellent match. You got all of the game right, Luc?" Yes, Luc was in charge of that camera, because you know a parent wouldn't dare face it away from their pride and joy. Charely was amused on the boy's excitement, smiling at his question, "Sure thing, Bart, we have all the time now to practice when we get home."

*Zooom in* *Zoom out*

Luc was often readjusting the close ups during the game. Hopefully Victoria didn't get sick just trying to focus on it. Barty, you need to be QUIET! Luc's brain kept repeating as he was sure getting his right earful of the cheers. "Yeah!" Became his response to Barty boy's questions. Sure, he was super proud and amazed of his super cool older cousin Wade, but- HEEEELLLLOOO, this game was more important, yes? Like, look at how cool and hot those girl Quidditch players were flying and showing off their skills. Oh and those commentators? Hope you don't mind the closeups on them, Vicky, hehe.

He made sure to get a couple seconds of their faces before moving back to zooming out to see the game... oh yeah, and on his cousin too because Luc knew that would be getting lots of playbacks from his Uncle Charely... Wait? last snitch? Sorry ladies and Wade, this one HAS to be recorded. Luc closed his other hand that wasn't holding the camera into a fist. "Yes! GO HUGGLEPUFFS!" Erm.. that was what they were, right? Whoopsie if not, Luc didn't go to Hogwarts to know.. Anyways, they wooooon. "That was an awesome game!" To his Uncle Charely, his answer came after ending it, "I suuuure did!" He beamed, can they go greet Wade and his friends now?
