Rachel beamed as she ran into the Ravenclaw Common Room, not hindering for a second at the sight that greeted her. Slowing down to avoid a collision with an innocent person, she meandered through the people and made herself look around and appreciate the decoration.
Elves must been pretty busy, setting up this place in less than five minutes must not be the easiest thing to do...
Spotting Rian, she grinned and rushed over to her friend.
"Hey Rian! Great game, right? A little exhausting though... Seriously, I feel like I was the the one up there on those brooms!" she said excitedly, panting a little from exhilaration. Brimming with happiness, she grinned with glee and grabbed a slice of the cake and began nibbling on the edge. Knowing that she was absolutely capable - and willing - to finish the whole cake by herself, she decided to take it easy on the first few bites.
Spotting Willow Kovak engulfed by a sea of people in blue (as to be expected), she realised that abandoning her cake and trying to reach the Willow was probably not the best idea at the moment. Reluctant to wait until later to congratulate the Captain, she grinned as an idea came to her and quickly drew her wand.
"Excuse me one second," she said to Rian and muttered two quick spells under her breath. Pocketing the wand, she raised her head to the air and smiled as she spotted a piece of parchment and a quill zooming towards her.
Preparing herself, she deftly caught them and quickly squatted down next to the table, positioning the parchment in a way that would make it the least uncomfortable for her to write. Biting the back of the quill for a second, she closed her eyes for a second to think of what to write, she smiled and quickly put quill to parchment and wrote, almost forgetting to open her eyes.

To Captain Willow Kovak,
Reaching you right now would not only be a futile attempt, but also a possible suicidal mission so I thought that this was a lot easier.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You guys were AMAZING up there!!! I only saw the second half, but I must confess that - out of all the Quidditch games I've attended - this one was by far the most intense, the most exhausting and the most exhilarating! You and the rest of the team totally deserved to win today, you were absolutely fantastic!!!
I hope to congratulate you in person later tonight, and also to tell you how HAPPY I am that we won for the THIRD YEAR IN A ROW!!! (Can you believe it?!?!)

Grinning, she folded the parchment in two, drew her wand and pointed it at the parchment, quickly muttering a few words. She watched as the folded parchment molded itself in a paper eagle and fly into the air. Blowing on it, she watched as it soared over to the Ravenclaw Captain and land rather ungracefully on top of her head.
Well... At least she'll notice that she had a paper eagle on her head.
