"Easy there Cap't. Ye don't want the newbies to think ye'll eat them if they mess up on tryouts," he teased, the excitement of the room adding to his playful behavior from the train and beforehand.
Selina eyed him and pushed him lightly in the shoulder,
"Oh shove off you. You know I was here first. So if anyone went missing it was you." Guitar boy was being cheeky once more. Then again she did not always help with this side of Gideon. She always seemed to raise the stakes when it came to their mischief. If they kept their conversation on the calmer side nothing would ever reach the status of playful teasing like it did. But if they did not treat each other the way that they did they would not be the same friends, the same duo, the same couple.
But her eyes eventually
inevitably left Gideon's face to return her gaze to the box of wonder sitting in Kurumi's hand. She grinned ear to ear at just the thought of the annual cookies that were sitting in that box when Gideon ruined her fun a little,
"I won't eat them at try outs. Eww could you imagine how terrible try outers would taste?" Selina joked.
SPOILER!!: Tasia and Kurumi

Her eyes then widened and she thrust her hand at Selina, pointing at her in an accusing manner, "You actually ate one of THOSE THINGS?!" And by things she clearly meant chocolate frogs. Kurumi had still sworn those things off. Selina was...out of the pride...or something.
Drumming on the top of the box, Kurumi pondered if she had waited long enough to start charming the contents of her box, but she was enjoying teasing Selina and making her face scrunch up like a sour lemon. But she was momentarily distracted when Tasia spoke again.
"I am," she nodded, her cheeks flushing just a bit. "Selina here is the Quidditch Captain." There, talking about Quidditch ought to distract Selina just a little bit longer, right? As for her co-prefect, well, she wasn't sure where they were. They hadn't been on the train either come to think of it.
Her eyebrows rose when Kurumi tried to be coy with her. Everyone and their cousin knew that Kurumi was the cookie girl. She brought the cookies and the cookies had been a recurring theme for Selina since she was a first year. It was an ANNUAL thing so there were cookies in there. She did not even need to say a word. The eyebrow was enough indication that she knew Kurumi was full of dragon dung.
Selina flinched when Kurumi picked up on Selina's mention of the chocolate frog. Merlin, she had meant to keep that a secret! Yes, after three straight years of staying caste of the anti-frog law that was established between herself and Kurumi she had a moment of panic. It was just as revolting going down this time then when they had the episode. But she had bought it and she was not going to waste food. So she ate them.. she but her tongue and ate them.
"I-I-I didn't mean too! You of all people have to understand. I panicked!"
Then she smiled at the older student and nodded,
"I am Captain. Please to meet you... well actually I didn't catch your name." SPOILER!!: Auggie and Kurumi

The fourteen year old walked into the familiar Great Hall and as soon as the candle light hit him a huge smile broke out on his face. This was his home as far as he was concerned at the moment. He was with other kids like him for a change and he had made so many friends last year he would get to see again.
Speaking of friends...August had been searching the Gryffindor table for some of the people he played Quidditch with and saw in the Common Room almost daily. Many of them like Josh and Carter had graduated last term sadly but there were two he recognized from this far off that he was super excited to see.
Plopping down across from the two girls he slammed a hand on the table. "Kurumi, Selina! How are you guys?" he asked genuinely excited to see them. "Miss you on the train I was with...." before he could continue he saw a glint of something metallic just below his eye line and had just expected it to be the shine from Kurumi's prefect badge but found out upon further inspection it was from Selina's badge.
O___o
"NO WAY!" he said, shocked. "Selina! Congradulations! You have Carter's old badge?!" He raised his hand up for a high five.
Yep, he loved his Gryffindor family.

"August!" Kurumi smiled, giving the little lion a quick hug. He was adorable enough that he could slam his hands on the table if he wanted to. "I'm brilliant. How are you?!" She DID notice how he had trailed off just a bit, but didn't have time to say anything since his attention was now drawn to Selina's badge. "Yep, you are going to have to call her Captain this term," Kurumi winked.
Speaking of Captain... "So, Selina, how are you going to go about recruiting new players?" And my replacement. "I can help you make poster or something."
Selina snapped her head when she heard a familiar voice say her name. It was Auggie! Oh Merlin, she had missed him over the summer. The pair were the only two third years on the team last year and they had all gotten pretty close during the Pep Rally which was the best way to end the year in Selina's opinion. Vindictus had better do that every year. She was partial to the facepaint
and her boyfriend the lion.
She gestured for Auggie to come closer and answered,
"I'm great! How about your..." What was he looking at? Did she have something on her robes? No that was impossible because Kurumi was being a butthead and would not share her cookies.
Then he yelled and Selina jumped. Oh it was about her Quidditch Captain badge. She nodded excitedly and replied,
"Yeah I know. And well in my book it is Simon and Carter's old badge. But thanks! You gonna be at try outs Auggie?"
When Kurumi noted the name change Selina squirmed,
"Ew no. That sounds weird to me. Carter and Simon are Captain. I'm just Selina... that's odd..."
A poster...? A bloody poster? Was she out of her mind? No way. They were Gryffindors not some bloody poster people. So she fumbled and reached inside her robe pockets. After a few seconds of flailing about she finally found what she was looking for,
"GRYFFINDOR FACE PAINT!!!"
