Juniper turned and grinned down at William. "Sit? Sure, I guess," the fourth year chirped. "But I prefer standing. You could stand with us if you want, even." The girl reddened slightly, realizing that she was about to start babbling at the poor boy. "We're cheering for Slytherin!"

It didn't matter that much, she just wanted to show that she had loads of school spirit. And Slytherin would be the obvious choice over Hufflepuff anyway, because Nancy albeit absent today, was normally their beater.

As she sat back down, the second year glanced over at Juniper who seemed to be inching away from her. What was that about? Frowning slightly at first, she immediately grinned as the older girl greeted her. "Hi Juniper," she said, waving cheerfully. "So, you like Slytherin too?" she asked as she tried to inconspiculously point out the green scarf lightly draped across her shoulders. "We should make up a cheer or something. That would totally show Professor V that the Claws have the most spirit in the whole school."

Nodding to herself the approval of her brilliant idea, the 13 year old caught a movement out of the corner of her eye. Turning her head, she saw Willow sliding into the seat next to her. "Hey, Captain," Mariel said, looking appraisingly at the girl for any sign of who she might be supporting. "Are you cheering for Slytherin? Juniper and I are trying to think up some kind of cheer to show everyone that Ravenclaw has the best school spirit." And they obviously were since all the recent games were packed with Claws and few of the other houses.
Juniper scratched her head and nodded at the girl's question. Of course she liked Slytherin. Why else would she be cheering for them? And, after all, green was the color of nature. There was no better reason to cheer for Slytherin than the color of their uniforms. "Gooo Slytherin!" Juniper yelled to demonstrate to Mariel that she was cheering for them.

But... make up a cheer? Juniper was not the creative type, but there was no harm in giving it a try. In fact, anything would be more interesting than repetitively yelling 'Go Slytherin'. As the fourth year began to consider possible cheers, she finally noticed her captain. "Oh! Hello, Willow," she said politely.

And then the perfect cheer came to her.

"Slytherin, Slytherin! We're cheering for Slytherin! Their color, GREEN! is that of the world, their mascot, SNAKES! are all over the world! Snakes can't walk, but slithering their fine! Go Slytherin! You can fly aaaall the time!"

Beaming, Juniper shouted shouted the cheer she had invented, waving a little green flag made from a leaf she had found in her pocket in the air. It did not matter that snakes, as in the animal, could not fly. Slytherin snakes could! And it took a Ravenclaw to think about legless snakes like the ones they had studied in Care of magical creatures once. Oh, the ideas that went through Juniper's mind. Hufflepuff's apparent success could not sway her. She would support Slytherin until the end! Exclamation point!
