"I know.. Daddy looks pretty silly, doesn't he?" But it made his kid laugh so his mild humiliation was worth it and he figured Chloe was really too little to think any different of it.
But now it was Min's turn with the bat so he got behind the stroller to watch her, smiling a bit as she showed their son the bat. "You got this!" he cheered her on as she swung. Alright, so it didn't hit the target but it was close and he knew it had been a while since she had hit a bludger. "Practice shot.. you'll get the next one," he grinned at her as she turned to look at him.
Another voice had his green eyes snapping up. "Elise?" Ethan grinned at his former and fellow Ravenclaw leader. "Wow.. it's been a while. Come here." Yeah, she wasn't getting away without a hug, even if he knew she wasn't the touch-feely type and he reached over, giving her a one-armed hug from his side of the stroller. He couldn't help but chuckle at her question before beaming with pride over his children. She probably hadn't even known they had any until this moment. "This is Gunnar.. can you say hi to Elise? And this is Chloe." He gestured to his 16 month old son and nearly 2 month old daughter respectively. "We're doing really well.. how about you?" Last he knew she was looking for a professional Quidditch career, but he didn't know any more than that.
Gunnar's giggles slowed a bit, watching the silly mascot dancing, until Daddy joined in too, and he let out a big belly laugh. Funny Daddy! And then.. ohh what did Mommy have? He reached out to grab the bat, but she took it away and his eyes followed her. What was she.. OHH! Blue eyes got very wide as he saw the ball.. and then Mommy hit it with the bat! Gunnar squealed with delight and clapped his hands a few times. He liked the ball!
He watched for the ball again, but then he heard Daddy say his name and his eyes snapped to him first before he saw the lady in front of him. He looked at her for a minute then looked around for their cat when Daddy said her name. "Eese..?" Where was she?

Ethan was being sweet as well and he got a loving smile, plus Gunnar got a little wave. She was just about to say something to Ethan about getting a picture of the kids with the mascot when she heard Muirgen’s warning. Looking back towards the bludger she grinned and lined up and swung hitting it with a bit more force. She felt the pain in her arm, not being used to hitting or swinging in a while, but it felt good. Watching the bludger soar quickly and nailing the target. “Yes” she couldn’t help her own cheer.
Just as she turned, just missing Ethan’s dance moves, she noticed someone talking to them. “Elise” she beamed seeing the former schoolmate. They weren’t that great of friends in the past, but she had come over to cook when Min was pregnant with Gunnar. It had been very sweet and she missed seeing their friends so this was great. She had commented on her shot and the former puff blushed a bit, “Never as good as you were I’m afraid, but thanks.” She watched Ethan hug her and introduce their children. Smiling widely. “We have been doing well, but really what have you been up to?” Was she playing professional?
She couldn’t help but chuckle towards Gunnar, “Oh no honey, not the kitty. This is Elise too.” She knew that look on her sons face as he searched. Her blue eyes snapped back to the targets hearing the bludger coming back towards them again.
Elise wiggled her fingers at the former Ravenclaw as he looked up, eyes crinkling a little as she smiled. "It has. Too long, too," she said, before she was engulfed in a hug. Oh Merlin, she'd missed those hugs. Pulling a face at him, she tried to wriggle out of his grasp. Except, she was stuck between him and the stroller. Well, that was convenient.
She blushed a little at not-so-evil!Puff's compliment, ducking her head a little.
"I'm not that good, though," she protested, before diverting her attention to the BABIES.
"Hello, Gunnar," she grinned, giving the baby a finger wiggle too. Yep, she was greeting the baby the same way she greeted Ethan. It sounded like a pretty good plan.
What on earth was Gunnar looking for, though? Oh, he probably thought Elise was the cat.
"My name's Elise too, Gunnar," she said.
"Your daddy named your kitty after me. Don't let him fool you and tell you otherwise." Well, it was a much better story than naming the cat after a piece that was titled wrongly, at least. And would you just look at Chloe? She was like a little angel. [color=purple]"Hello there, Chloe. You're a very pretty baby, you know?" she said, as though it was a secret before turning to Ethan.
"Can I hold her?" Pleaaaase?
"I've been great," she said, tucking some hair behind her ear.
"I'm beating for Pride of Portree now. I can't imagine my life without quidditch." Even if Chris thought it was a too dangerous, but what was Quidditch if there were no bludgers? Boring, that's what.
"What are you two doing, though? I'm guessing that Ethan's doing some form of Herbology." She remembered how passionate he was about the subject when they were back in school.
Now would you look at THAT shot?
"That one was beautiful," she grinned proudly.
"Good job!"
