Mika had practically ran all the way to the pitch...and sure, she wasn't a fan of the paying thing because she just didn't think that it would be fun - the whole idea made her nervous that eventually she'd have to pay a pittance for being on the team. That wouldn't be good, and as a reserve she'd feel kind of silly paying because the whole she didn't know if she'd ever get air time.

SPOILER!!: Amara (because its longer)

And here she thought she could just walk in. Silly Amara. The turnstile did materialize out of thin air. She let out a low groan. What? They had to pay for this too? She eyed the sign and it said.....

GOOD LORD MERLIN! IT SAID WHAT?

5 galleons....HEY, 10 for adults.

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

She knew just what they were thinking. YEAH, who wouldn't miss this match? Everyone would come to see it and Hogwarts could just get richer by a single day with all the galleons floating in. Grumbling, she picked 5 galleons from her money bag that she now carried everywhere around the castle. She knew something like this would surely happen and she didn't want the first day experience to repeat itself. Not with no Natasha to come up with the coins.

She inserted the galleons one by one into the turnstiles, cursing as she did. She didn't really want to spend the money she earned with the ashwinder eggs this way. NO, she did not. But what could she do? She wanted to see the match so badly. And now, now. What a brilliant plan, Hogwarts.

After the turnstile disappeared, she walked into the stands with low spirit. She looked around. There wasn't anyone in the vicinity, except a single girl. Had everyone backed off seeing the turnstiles? Were they the only ones stupid enough to make the payment?

Nevertheless, she moved towards the girl. As they did their waiting, they could as well get to talk something. Something to lift her low spirits? She was just hoping the match would be worthy of losing 5 galleons.

"Hello" she said, as she approached the girl. She also kept an eye at the entrance. She was hoping to see a certain Claw girl.

“AMARA!” She practically pounced on the girl when she saw her. Well, really she had just jumped over and given her a hug. “Hey!” She beamed and immediately winced as she heard the microphone screeching in her ear. That wasn’t fun at all. “You ready to cheer?” She asked as she beamed at the young lion girl.

Even after finding the lion girl she glanced around to find other people to sit with. Because well…there might have been a friend she needed to talk to about things pertaining to feet and divinations. She just needed to talk to that person after the game. And, well…telling them hey lets have a chat later sounded like a plan to her.

Oh, there! Mo climbed the stands and seated himself near Professor Botros. They were sort of like best mates now, right? "Hey, Professor. I think you ought to cheer for the students just to win us over. We might be easier to manage in class, you know?"

She beamed at the girl before saying “I’m going to go find a seat if you want to join” she smiled and glanced around. Macabre! She had spotted him. “I’m going to go attack someone quickly” she smiled to Amara before walking the short distance to where Mo was sitting with Professor Botros.

She was standing behind the seat – this wasn’t going to work. As carefully as she could she hopped over the seat and landed a little less than gracefully next to him. “Hey! I think I took a wrong turn but you looked like you needed someone else to sit with!” She beamed.

She did laugh of course when she heard West’s commentating. So he was good at this – and funny, and really…he was making people laugh and she liked that. Turning to Professor Botros she beamed.

“Hello Professor Botros!” She beamed a practically classic Mika smile. Eyes wide and almost manic with happiness. “Points for cheering?” She inquired as she heard what Professor Botros had said. She did laugh a bit at that. “We could cheer for everyone and make it even more confusing because I hear some really good players are out there today” she nodded and glanced up when she heard about Professor Flamsteed.

“Oh…that is interesting” she chuckled as she saw the tie about his head. “I guess think Professor Fancy…er…Flamsteed didn’t want to leave a tie behind for this game” see he had it about his head. Couldn’t that be dangerous and blind him?
