Ethan grinned at the kiss on his cheek provided by his girlfriend and he stretched his arm behind her as she leaned into him. "Have you been here long?" he asked as he took a sip of his espresso. He didn't think he was that late, but he did stop off at the kitchen for his drink which he thought was well worth it on a chilly day like today. Looking out towards the pitch, he thought over her question. "Um, students.. I guess," he started slowly. "Or more like, my teammates.. but I think it will be interesting to watch the professors play too." If that made sense. Not like he was rooting for or against them, he just thought it would be a good time all the way around. Though it felt weird to come to that realization. When was the last time he had gone to a Quidditch game and hadn't really wanted one side to win?

He grinned over at Ariana, her enthusiasm somewhat contagious. "I'm pretty excited too. I think it'll be a good time." And as fun as it would be to see students up against the professors, he didn't really think the staff had much of a chance. How long had it been since they had actually played while the student team played regularly. "A couple of your teammates are playing too, right?" Yeah, he was fairly certain there were Slytherin players so he didn't really have to ask who she would be cheering on, especially when he heard her loudly boo the professors when West asked who was rooting for them. Snicker.

He smiled at Eliza as she greeted him and he turned his attention to the pitch as the commentary began. Hearing a comment the younger Claw made about getting tips, he glanced over at her. "That was sort of my idea too," he said, turning slightly towards her as he kept one eye on the game. "Scoping out the competition a little.. getting a few new tips and techniques." He glanced back towards their Keeper. "I guess I'm watching Aidan in particular," he admitted. "He's not usually Keeper, either." So maybe he'd have to talk to the younger boy after the game to see what he thought about playing a different position and if he had any advice before their house team started practicing. Because right now, he was doing pretty awesome..

Ethan glanced away from the pitch as he noticed another person joining their group. "Hi, Susan," he smiled brightly at Minerva's cousin as she approached. She seemed a little tentative towards them.. well, maybe that was a good thing. Maybe she would think twice about playing pranks especially on him, he didn't want to see her get into any more trouble. But he didn't hold grudges, especially for his girlfriend's cousin, and he was over it. He turned to the game for a moment as Min introduced her to everyone, then chuckled as she mentioned water. "Yes, I've already had a shower today, Susan, thanks.." he turned towards her and chuckled. "Cheering for anyone in particular?" Because for some reason, it felt like that for him.. maybe because it was a combination of teams playing for one? He didn't know..

He turned his attention back to the game, specifically watching the two Keepers. Aidan was doing really well and he had to admit he was fairly impressed with Hadley's blocking skills. As he got to his feet to cheer for Beezus as she headed down the pitch, he noticed a familiar face sitting not too far away. "Harvey!" he called over the roar of the crowd. "Come join us!" He could use another bloke around as he hung out with some of his favorite girls. And then apparently it was half time.. He glanced up at West as he mentioned leaving for snacks and the restroom. Hmm, maybe.. but would he have to pay to get back in?
