Had that big scrapbook project to maintain and stat sheets to update.
Her violet eyes met his green ones and she bit down hard on her lower lip. "Nothing good," she whispered back. This was going to be really hard to enjoy the match now. Her arm coiled around his, bringing her body against his now as if hoping that Lewis could protect from whatever it was that was going on. She might still be wearing some of her dragonhide clothing, but the weird things at Hogwarts had a way of getting through even the thickest of skin.
Oh, it WAS Professor Bentley. She glanced back at Lewis again, her face neutral while her eyes reflected something completely different. "Good," she smiled, giving Lewis' arm a squeeze as she did. "Everything is set now....will you....still be able to make it?" Because...clearly circumstances were very different now. Was she even allowed to travel?
Seeing as the match had started already, Kurumi eyed the open seats near her former Head of House and gave a quick nod of her head towards them. Here was okay, right? Uncoiling her arm first, she slid into the seat beside Professor Bentley and tugged on Lewis' hand to sit down on her other side. This now gave her the opportunity to take a look around and see, hear rather, that Alec and Ella where the ones commentating. Or...that WAS them, right?
She looked over her shoulder at Lewis again. "Why do they look older than us?" she whispered before turning her attention back towards the commentating pair and waving at them. I HAVE COOKIES! she mouthed so as not to interrupt them. And just in time to miss the first snitch of the game.....grabbed by Slytherin. BOO! She couldn't even cheer properly for the Gryffindor Seeker because she had no clue who he was and shouting the name of someone you didn't know just felt....weird.
Her eyes wandered a bit more in her disappointment and spotted Simon...who didn't look ancient. She waved timidly at him before returning her attention to the pitch...only to find once again that she found someone she knew. THAT GUY! CAM'S GUY!
WHY WAS HE HERE BUT SHE WASN'T?! More disappointment. Sigh.
She would just wave her Gryffindor flag halfheartedly for the time being.
Maybe Alice would bite someone and make things more interesting.
Everything was set?
"Well you didn't waste much time," she managed a chuckle, pleased things were looking up for her former Prefect. Especially after all that business with losing her mother... so sad.
Her hearing wasn't what it used to be, but she was still able to pick up on the hesitency in Kurumi's question.
"Of course... I wouldn't miss it for the world." As if that was ever in question.
Seren had been listening out for the commentators, because Merlin knew they were loud enough, and it pleased her to hear her Lions were fighting back. She'd all but given up on trying to watch the blurred colours flit about, she couldn't make sense of any of it.
"Keep at it Lions!" she encouraged, her voice feeble.
----------------
Alright, maybe he spoke toooooo soon. The Lions were fierce too. And that chaser of theirs was on fiiireeeee.. not in the literal sense thank goodness. "Eeerr... think you're right," he said, turning to park himself next to Emily. "I think I will support both." Because who knew deciding between red and green would be so hard? Snakes were sneaky, but Lions had fight.
With the scores leveling out and both with snitch captures, it was still anybodies game.
And wooooahhh! Lookit them beaters with them bludgers! Gryffindor were still maybe his favourites.. maybe. At the other end of the pitch he watched to see if the Snakes would score, perhaps making him change his mind again but to his surprise, nope. Lady keeper was fierce tooooo!
"Go Go Gryffindor!" he cheered simply because he could.
She noticed he wasn't bouncing with much enthusiasm anymore, but she didn't think he'd return to his seat - he was still short, so standing had its advantages for him if he wanted to watch. Still, she wouldn't complain about the company. "Of course I'm right... just wait, next I'll bring you to a Ravenclaw game." She nodded solemnly, because she was more than happy to introduce her to the blue and bronze way of life.
