"Undecided? That's okay, we can do both," Nia replied, clearly unfazed by this fan's reaction, or possible lack thereof. He was obviously just a little star struck, and that was okay. Not everyday you got to mingle with so many Pros in one event - she'd been there in her younger days, even with her Dad already knowing everyone.

With that, Nia pulled a pre-printed photo of herself at the Bats' stadium off of a stack to her left. "Who should I make it out to?"

Edward just nodded when she said both. He was still dumbstruck and quite unsure of what to do or say. Here was Alina (or at least he thought it was Alina) sitting there before him signing autographs. She looked so much younger than the last time he saw her.

She asked him another question and he responded eloquently once again Ummm.... and pointed to himself.

"Great," Nia said with a grin. Poor chap, being so beside himself with excitement that he couldn't speak. And though she could understand that he intended it for himself, that didn't really tell her who to address it to. Sadly, Nia had never been a legilimens...an over-thinker perhaps, but not a mind-reader.

Undeterred, she missed off the 'To...' bit in the short term, and signed it 'All the best, Nia xxx'. "Have you got anyone with you to take the photo?"

As he watched her write on the photo, he was struck by inspiration. He began to pat his waistcoat pockets looking for his billfold. He knew it was in there, though it may be a bit hard to see.

When she asked if he had anyone with him, he looked around confused.

Arrows Table and Heyyy Kurumi!
 

Ella hadn't been herself lately but after thinking about it some, the nineteen year old decided she simply couldn't miss Alec's Quidditch event. She'd said she'd be there for the big stuff, yeah? And a promise was a promise so here she was. Only there had been some younger girl chatting up her boyfriend at the Tornados table when she peeked her head in over there so she figured she'd go back later. It was just...something she'd have to get used to, she guessed. Came with the territory of dating an adorable human with great hair.

Alec wasn't the only Quidditch star Ella was lucky enough to know though, yeah? For example there was one Maximus James, Keeper extraordinaire around this event somewhere. There was also one Dylan Montmorency, her godparent partner in crime (maybe). Ellie and Alice and Wade and Asher were surely here too and Ella really wanted to squish ALL of their faces. Proud Ellaphant was proud of them. Though is one even allowed to just squish the faces of Ellie Lockhart and Dylan Montmorency? Hm. ...Was Treyen here TOO?

Wandering over to the Arrows table, Ella glanced around and grinned when she caught sight of Kurumi. "Hey!" Waaaaaaaving was happening! HI KURUMI HI! Was that a basket that she had? Were there cookies in there? The blonde's stomach grumbled just thinking about it. Kurumi cookies simply couldn't be beat.

Also, where were the handsome men of the Arrows, HM? She'd brought along a t-shirt for them to sign and everything. She might not be in the most social mood these days but she'd definitely come prepared.

Esme, Iwin and Barnyy x)
 

Whoever wants to grab him, have at it. <3
 

Yo Aarows table... and ella.. maybe?
 

Xaria was still whining a bit, letting out a cry anytime Ariana tried to move her from hiding under her hair. She supposed this was a pleasant way for meeting others none the less. "they're all gone." she rubbed the baby's back as she made her way over to the tables where she saw lots of familiar faces around. Suddenly this seemed like a bad idea. Not that she was embarrassed of her daughter, she wasn't she just didn't want people stopping and goggling over her. The mascots were one thing but Xaria also wasn't too fond of strangers lately and she wasn't sure how much more screaming and hair pulling she take today. "I see uncle dyllllannn." she whispered into the childs ear as she neared the table that he seemed to just be getting comfortable at. "and, look aunt ella too." not that they we're related to her OR Oakey in any way but the title was given to them via their relation to the baby and Minerva. really the only aunt's and Uncle the baby had and Ariana was more than okay with that. "are you gonna smile for them?" maybe? possibly? and stop hiding in her hair.

She gave Dylan a soft wave as she came into view of the table more and she was in his view. Would he be up to seeing Xaria in this setting? well, it didn't matter it was happening. yup Xaria always won over anything with Dylan, it was like the child knew that as Ari noticed her head lift off her shoulder.

Dylan was making faces at mascots, currently...but abruptly halted when he caught sight of Ariana Logan and his Godchild; a most welcomed sight!

"Logan, how very lovely it is to see you. Need me to sign something?" SMIRK.

Hehe. "Hand over my god-child." GRABBEH HANDS! Seriously, Dylan wanted her. Give her HERE! He always, ALWAYS had time for Xaria no matter what he was doing, silly mommy.

She was definitely rolling her eyes and shaking her head at the seeker. She was also muttering about how much of an idiot he was under her breath. He knew he was though she she didn't need to verbalize it loudly. "I'm sure i have your autograph.... somewhere.... in a box." heh, Smirk. she could play that. She also didn't need his autograph seeing as how he was in her life all the time anyway. Looking down at Xaria as she peeked through her hair towards the familiar voice she raised an eyebrow. "Only if you teach her manners and not ever to speak like you just did." she said pulling the baby off her. "Xaria, Look." She heard the baby giggle softly and Ariana couldn't help but grin like an idiot. Her child was the best clearly."take her." she was looking at Dylan. "i think the mascots traumatized her on our way over here."

Godparent party
 

"Can't have anyone traumatizing my god-child." Ella shuffled over and approached the little cutie pie, a stupid smile playing on her lips. Was Xaria the cutest ever or what? The blonde might be a little biased but still, adorable little girl was adorable.

"Guess I'll have to wait my turn to hold her, huh?" The nineteen year old looked between Dylish and Ari with a sheepish smile. Also, "You guys look nice." Not as cute as Xaria but hey, life wasn't fair.

Still looking for Selina, her violet eyes fell on the blonde who had just arrive. Something was familiar about her - besides the obvious of her seeing the quidditch player at matches - but she was having a hard time placing her. "Hello," she bowed, her brain going over the Harpies roster and searching for a name.

OH RIGHT!

"Isobel, right?" she asked, setting her basket down on an empty area of the table. "I'm Kurumi Rasting. It's nice to meet you in person instead of just watching you from the stands."
HOLY KNEAZLE LOOK AT THE ADORABLE MASCOT! Could she set a hug too? A gentle one? Please?

OH LOOK THERE WAS AN ELLA!

"Ella!" she shouted back, returning the wave with equal enthusiasm. Of course she should have expected to see Ella here. Merlin it was like a reunion! They should all go get dinner and drinks together afterwords if time allowed. She would be sticking to pumpkin juice, however, although that really wasn't anything out of the ordinary for her.

If Kurumi were not waiting, she would have made her way over towards Ella for some chit chat, but seeing as the aspiring magizoologist was now in conversation with Dylan and...was that Ariana? ... she settled for waving for now. She wanted to hear all about university later though, okay?

Her violet eyes then fell on the baby. Baby. Kurumi rubbed her belly subconsciously. N'aaaaaw.

Kurumi & Dylan & Ariana & Ella :3
 

And she was here! Fiiiiiiiinally. Concession stand had happened and it had been glorious, but all professional snackers had to know when was time the time to be professional other things. In her case a Quidditch player. Though, she would have very happily spent all day near the food.

Maybe she would suggest they give the talent their own food trays for the next signing. They WERE doing another one of these, yes? Because that cupcake had blown her mind. The fear of living without never eating another would plague her dreams for weeks.

Perhaps she should just slip out and eat more for memories sake...

No. Vivi said work needed to happen. Merlin, she hated the logic in that. Dumb professional arrestor person logic.

Walking into the tent where the Harpies would be she scanned the room...for food. AND SAW A BASKET! Better yet, the basket was being held by a Kurumi, which practically guaranteed food. Brilliant. She was estatic.

The redhead beelined for more food. Until she saw something tall, blonde and infuriatingly handsome. Not that she hadn't already seen him all done up today. They'd come together....for travel convenience reasons.

Blush!glare.

She brushed by him and gave quick hellos to Ariana and Ella, "Hey Ariana, Ella." She grabbed Xaria's foot and squeezed it lightly, "And you Xaria." No hellos for Dylan. She was sick of saying his name today.

Then OFF she went to Kurumi. Who was wearing...WHAT WAS SHE WEARING?! Was that HER face?! Oh no. "Give me food, ASAP, Rumi. I miss be hungry because I'm hallucinating you have a SHIRT with my FACE on it!"

Benji continued to walk the tent, making sure nothing was getting out of hand. He wouldn't bother messing with the antics of the mascot, that was the fun of having them around. This was going well so far. He looked as some awkward kid was waving at him. He waved back "Hello." He seemed okay but Benji found the random greeting weird, then he remembered the badge he was wearing probably drew attention, at least more than his face..

He turned hearing his name, blue eyes focusing on his boss who had only just arrived. "Everything seems to be running smoothly, i need to check the other tent soon. How are things going elsewhere?" He asked and noticed one of the players and a few others fawning over some baby.. He rolled his eyes a little. Children were over-rated. He didn't get the fascination and therefore thought this group were a bit odd, making a fuss about a common baby while in a tent full of quidditch players. He would have mentioned it but he was sure that his boss wouldn't only fuss at him but having children she would disagree.

"Hello," Isobel greeted when the woman showed up at their table. She didn't know who she was, but guessed that she was from the Ministry, from Magical Games and Sports to be exact. They were the ones running this whole thing, yes? "Thank you," she said, mainly in response to the offer of help but also because she'd help put this together and that deserved recognition and thanks.

She was talking to her, right? This woman wanted her autograph? Alright then. Isobel eyed the team picture, she had one just like it somewhere around her home. "What's your son's name?" She asked the woman? He would probably like if the autograph(s) were personalized, yes?



"Yes," she nodded as the other girl appeared to know her name. Isobel still had not placed how she knew her yet. That is, not until she introduced herself. "Oh Kurumi, hey. It's nice to meet you too, I remember you from Hogwarts." They'd never really talked, but Isobel knew who she was. She'd been Kurumi Hollingberry back then, so she must have gotten married. "How have you been?" She didn't know her well enough to really ask about her life, but she could make friendly conversation.

Mummy was talking to Daddy over thERE so she could still see her and Corbin had already left them for Uncle Tyler and Nath!poop so Saffron was going to find Uncle OLIPOP. Uncle Olipop and then Auntie Kaia. HER TWO FAVOURITES. Two of the ten anYWAY. She skipped past ALL of the other tables, hands on her hips and poster in need of signing. She'd gotten her parents to take it down off the wall, added even more glitter to his BIG flapping hair and rolled it up.

Waity. Waity. WAITY.

OH THERE HE WAS.

"UNCLE OLIVERRRRRRRRRR!" The seven year old wiggled her head so her hair flapped around a little bit too and she ran in the direction of the table he was sitting at. YADA YADA YADA. She didn't care what team it was or the other sitting with him. They weren't her favourites or her UNCLE.

"Mummy said you'd sign my poster and give me a kiss."

And he wouldn't let her MUMMY down, right? Hands. On. Hips.

"Looks like it's gonna be a busy day..." Nia replied, scanning the crowds already forming. She flexed her fingers lightly, knowing the likely task ahead. "Glad to have some company up here today, but feel free to go for a wander round the other stuff too. It's quite the event."

And, yes...she did have a fan.
Barny's fist pumps earnt the mascot a few more cheers from Nia, and she grinned as the Bat came back to give her a big hug. "You're the best, Barny," she said, returning his squeeze. "It wouldn't be the same without ya."
"Oh, no...there's no need to pay," Nia said, as the man reached towards his wallet. "We're here for you as the fans," she added with a smile. "And I meant if you had someone to take the photo. No worry though, I'm sure Jack here won't mind." She looked towards the speaker, a look of 'HELP!' briefly crossing her face. She didn't think she was bad with fans, but this guy's continued silence was, to be quite honest, getting slightly unnerving. She fiddled with her engagement ring, and re-straightened her bangle. The guy did know she was engaged, right?!

Ariana, Ella, Selina, and mentions of Kurumi/Zeke!
 

Barny, Jack, Esme, Mur! GAAHH. oh my.
 

Iwin was suddenly...eyeing the mascot, dancing all close to them and totally being OBNOXIOUS. It made him smirk slightly, but he just laughed deeply at the little heart gestures. "Yes, Barny, you caught me--" he teased, his cheeks only blushing a biiit. Thank Merlin he wasn't as shy as he was as a teen. Or this would be incredibly awkward.

Muirgen was pretty, too. Red hair, pretty eyes...all that fun stuff. He nodded at her question, though, a boyish grin painted across his face quite suddenly. "I'm Welsh, yes...as are you, right, Muirgen?" he asked gently. He would be getting her autograph, next, yep. "Gotta' love th' Welsh, right?" he asked, putting on his accent a little thicker for her. Hehe. He felt smiley now, but he tried to be...cool. Yeah, cool. He couldn't let himself blush again. "I still can't believe I get to--" and the bloody mascot was HUGGING Esme now! Merlin! Iwin eyed the thing and just...coughed. Wow. He could tell poor Esme wasn't having any of this--she seemed to dislike it, actually, and just waved half-heartedly at Barny...and raised an eyebrow at Muirgen.

"So do I get a hug, too? I'm no Fruitbat but..." he shrugged. "I'm decent, right?" he asked, clearly teasing, of course...*brooooows*

And now FINALLY for the autograph! He would bounce more if he was younger--and it was accepted for him to be bouncy. But of course, keep up CHILL appearances, Iwin. He smirked slightly as she tried to catch what she was writing to him, but he would get a proper look once she was all done. Things were sure getting crowded in here, and he thought it made it all the more exciting. The babble of energy around them, even the crazy mascots made this event worth coming to. Not that he had a job to take off from, but if he did, he would have, of course, certainly taken off for it!

Esme was speaking to another Quidditch player..Merlin what was his name? Iwin couldn't remember his name for anything! He smiled and waved at him, though..."After Muirgen gives me her autograph, can I have one of yours?" he asked, super polite and such, you know? He wanted as many as he could get, but he had to get the Catapults' ones first! They were his team!

Any Cannons fans out there?!! Any at all?!
 

He just knew Esme liked his hug so he gave her another one just so she wouldn't miss his batty mascotness when he moved to another table. Moving back once more he danced around and looked towards the other player Muirgen and hugged her as well. See she liked his batty hugs and she got a big batty high five as well!

Moving away from the table he just so happen to hear the fan (Irwin) say about a hug. Of course Barny knew he meant him. Couldn't leave a fan out now could he. So strutting up to the fan he put him in a big batty hug. There you go man got your hug!

Wiggle wiggle wiggle

Barny wiggled to Nia's words! Awesome players were awesome on the Bat team, but everyone knew that! The fans had to know it. He wiggled around her a bit more before moving to the front of the table and danced around to entertain the fans. Wiggling around he did the moon walk and slid sideways.

Putting his big batty hands up in the air he danced to his own music in his head and in the best batty voice;

"WHO LET THE BATS OUT? FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP WHO LET THE BATS OUT?" Flapping his arms on the flap parts of course!
