Sophie hurried into the common room and looked around, trying to spot any of the quidditch players. She was still really excited they had won and wanted to congratulate each and every one of them!

Alyssa smiled when she saw Oakey. She was glad that he had been able to play under short notice. "You played really well Oakey, considering the short notice you were given. Thanks for agreeing to play. Nah...I was just lucky with the bat and the bludger today. I just hope that the players that got hit by it aren't too seriously hurt. I didn't even stop to check and ask."
"Thanks again, Nate." Alyssa laughed as she saw him run up to check on his cat. 'His cat must be pretty angry with him if he's so worried that he had to check on it. How much damage can a cat make?'Alyssa thought to herself.
She saw Alyssa and ran in her direction.
"Heey! Congrats, Alyssa! You did really great!" Sophie said happily to the older girl, jumping up and down.

Oakey was nervous that if Charmer saw Nate's cat it would be the end of the world. He was going to rush back into the dorm right behind Nate to make sure his cat was still sleeping soundly on his bed and not...well cat fighting.
But then he felt something brush up against his foot. Oakey looked down to see a black kitten. Charmer. Oakey said rather relieved that his cat had decided to wake up and walk around for a bit. Picking his new good luck charm up into his arms and began petting the little guy.
Right! Luck, that's what it was. Oakey was lucky all through out that game. Aside from Gideon's broom smacking Oakey's beater hand hard (which didn't hurt to much or bruise to badly). He Took a look at Harvey's Quidditch goggles resting around his neck and scratched Charmer behind his ears. These weren't charmed like his rabbit's foot was, but Oakey felt that they played an integral role as good luck charms for him today.
I disagree with you there, Alyssa, It doesn't take luck... at least not for you ...to direct a Bludger at a Gryffindor two years older then you and knock'em right off their broom.
Then their Head of House walked in to join in their small celebration. Again, I really didn't do much. But thank you Professor. Come on downplay his performance, Oakey didn't want the spotlight on himself. If everyone kept quiet about how well he played, Oakey won't speak a word of it anywhere and Harvey would never know that he went against his order not to play Quidditch.
She noticed that Oakey was there too and smiled at him.
"You did great too, Oakey! Good job!" Text Cut: Lewis

Smiling to himself Lewis turned in his seat at the sound of their Head of House's voice. Oh wow. He had never seen her in here. That was definitely a surprise. Now kneeling the wrong way on the couch, with his elbows on the back of it, the 16 year old glanced around the room absently.
This whole winning thing was pretty awesome, actually.
Then she saw a much older boy that she had not officially met yet, but she had seen him playing. She rushed to where he was.
"Hey! You did brilliant in the match!" Sophie exclaimed looking up at him.
"I'm Sophie, by the way." She added smiling.
Where were the otheeers?? Sophie glanced around the Common Room, but couldn't see any of the other players there.
