"Yes, dear... we won.." Silas sounded a little perplexed. No, 'what happened,' no concern about fainting, just quidditch?

And there she was slipping again! Silas adjusted his grip and did his best to both hold her and drop to his knees at the same time, gently lowering her so that she was supported by both him and the ground.

Finally coming to rest on his heels, legs tucked underneath him, he sat with Dora propped up limply against his chest.

Pandora was focusing on the match, trying not to feel akward by the side of the couple as so didn't realise that anything was wrong until Silas shouted for Dora, clearly distressed. Pandora turned just in time to see him catch her. "What happened?" She looked at Silas. When Dora murmured about winning, Pandora looked at her. "That's right, now let's get you sat..." but before she could finish her sentence, Dora slid further through Silas' arms, towards the floor. Thankfully, he supported her all the way to the ground.

Pandora unholstered her wand and pointed it in to her bag. "Accio smelling salts!" she muttered the spell and a small bottle zoomed upwards out of the depths of her bag. She caught it and crouched down, pulled out the stopper and wafted it under Dora's nose. She looked up at Silas, her eyes filled with anxiety, the dark circles below them seeming more like blue bruises. "Has she been ill?"

"If I can get our way," Mina smiled as she glanced over to Jade. "I'll be spending most of my summer with Jade. Apparently, she has planned a trip somewhere in July. SHe hasn't told me where, but has hinted at castles and possible vampires. So I'm excited." she grinned. She was looking forward to getting away for a while too. "Jason also invited me to visit him and Victoria over the summer as well. Plus after going to the wedding of JJ and Katalin, they have offered an invitation to visit their villa if we ever want to get away."

Silas kept one arm behind Dora's back, holding her up, and used his other hand to brush the hair out of her face. He looked up at Pandora gratefully as she retrieved smelling salts.

"Not that she's said, or that I've noticed," he said softly. "Just today, earlier, in the tent." Was something really wrong? Concern etched itself across his face as he considered all the possibilities, looking back down at Dora.

As she wafted the smelling salts, Silas looked back up at Pandora, noticing, but disregarding the circles under eyes. His sole focus was Dora and the idea that he had missed something was gnawing at him.

"Ohh, that sounds exciting. I'm sure if you put that up against spending the summer at a boy's place you're parents would agree to you traveling with Jade." Carter said. He then smirked. "If you need me to I can loudly invite you to spend the summer at my house. We live in the middle of the woods. So it's pretty secluded."

Derfel was annoyed with himself by the time he reached the top of the stairs - wishing he hadn't tackled that boggart before apparating to the office; where he'd seen a notice requesting all employees to attend the match. A whole 2 hours after it had been posted.
His hair was unbound, betraying his mood to any that knew him.
His eyes quickly glanced around the arena, simultaneously looking for trouble and known faces

Pandora saw the care and concern in Silas' face. She looked at Dora bit her lip and started to think about the things that she had said in the tent. Something occured to Pandora and she looked up at Silas sharply, eyes wide with shock. Her usually impassive expression had melted completely in favour of a mixed look of surprise, understanding and concern.

She wafted the smelling salts under Dora's nose again "Come on Dora, darling," she murmured in a tender voice, quite unlike her usual tones, "It's time to get up off the floor."

Mina playfully hit Carter's arm and covered her mouth to hide her laugh. "I think you have a point, but I'm sure they'll be fine with me visiting an boy's place. It's not like it would be the first time one of their daughter did something like that." she glanced over at her sister and then back. "Woods are fun of course though." she laughed. "I'm pretty sure, I'll be traveling a lot though. We'll only be gone for something like ten days in July and then I have the rest of the summer before and after that. I doubt my parents would really mind me doing my own thing anyway. My mother is supposed to go to France for the summer and I think father is going to be busy with work."

Jade leaned over and smiled. "In other words, she's pretty much my responsible this summer. Which isn't all that bad. My place is quite boring and it kind use some excited me and another person there." She still hadn't done anything to the place, but hopefully with Mina around, things could get done. "You know you or any of Mina's friends are always welcome to come over as well. It's right next to Hyde Park and not far some most things in London." she offered before taking to scanning the stands again for familiar faces.

Carter laughed. "That sounds like fun. And you won't have to be with your sisters. I recall you dreading that." he said. "And yeah, I would love to come visit. If you need anything painted or fixed I'm quite the fixer-upper." he said. He had learned to be handy with muggle tools growing up. After all his parents were humanitarians so he got a lot of practice with it when they built houses and such.

Dora could fell Silas lowering her to the ground and could hear a buzzing of voices and ruckus around her but she wasn't ready to wake up yet.

Then things became more defined, she could actually hear Silas and Pandora talking and make out the words.

"Uuuuggghhhhh. I don't feel very well" Dora muttered as she opened her eyes and looked up into Silas' face. "What in Merlin's name just happened?" she said as she looked from one panicked face to the other.

Oh me oh my, what in Merlin's name was going on with Dora?

Not waiting for an answer from either of them she began to put things together in her head. "I suppose I got to hot or excited or both and I had the Firewhisky before. Gah that was idiotic. I think I am okay now though. Help me up?" Dora said slowly as she reached her arms up like a small child waiting to be picked up.

Jade smiled at Carter. "I'll have to keep that in mind. Thank you Carter." He was such a nice young man, she needed to tell Mina to keep him around. Friends like that are rare something, but from the looks of it, maybe she didn't have to tell Mina. Looking at her younger cousin, she laughed to herself and looked back to the stands and the pitch. She wondered if the project she had worked on at the Ministry was actually what the QWC officials wanted. From the looks of how the match had gone, it did appear to have been successful.

Mina smiled and nodded. "A summer without the sisters is a godsend really. If I had my way, I'd stay with Jade every break. It's not like I'll be missed too much at home." she shrugged. She did tend to just blend in at home anyway. One less person at home wouldn't be all that different. "Sisters aren't all that bad. I can stand my younger ones," she laughed. "Anyway, if you do visit you could bring your sister. Hyde Park is very nice this time of year and you can play soccer there with her."

"Shhhh, love." Silas rubbed her back absentmindedly as her eyes opened. "No rush getting up. I think you fainted." They could both sit there a moment, at least.

He brushed his hand through her hair as he watched the stadium buzz with activity. Maybe getting up was a good idea. "Let's get you back to the tent, have a rest and some water, yeah?" His voice was soft.

"Alright, steady now." Silas shifted, supporting Dora from behind. He rose slowly, helping ease Dora to her feet.

Pandora was relieved that Dora had come to. She looked at her friend, waiting to see if she was going to be sick or faint again. She glanced around, notcing that people were starting to make their way out of the stands. As Silas started to lift Dora up, Pandora came and supported her from the other side. "It's a good thing you made it in time Silas, I couldn't have done this on my own." she muttered, looking at Dora to see if she was ok.

Carter laughed. He loved his baby sister. But he assumed having older sisters (and being a girl) would be a completely different story. "She'd love that." he said. He looked around. Some people had already filed out of the stadium. He was still worried about Marilyn. He spent a lot of the summer so far thinking about her (he even got a present for her).

Jade noticed the stadium slowly emptying out and got to her feet. Most of the adults had left already and she did need to talk to her parents and Mina's father. "I'm going to head back to the tent. I'll just meet you back there, JB." she smiled as she used her little nickname for her cousin. "It was really nice to meet you, Carter. Hopefully, I'll be seeing you again." she added as she worked her way to the aisle. Waving a goodbye before she disappeared in the crowd.


Mina smiled and nodded. She wanted to met Carter's baby sister. Hearing Jade, she turned to look at her and nodded. "Okay, East Field. It shouldn't be hard to find. I'll be down later." she replied as she waved bye to Jade. Turning back to Carter, she noticed him looking around again. "You know I'm sure she's probably at the campsite or vendor's row right now." she offered sensing he might be a bit worried. "I'm sure she'll show up soon."

"Bye. Nice meeting you too." Carter said to Jade. "Yeah, I'm sure your right." he said to Mina. Although he couldn't really picture her getting distracted by the vendors enough to miss the game. "Speaking of vendor row, have you been down there? I'm curious. I haven't checked it out yet."

Mina shook her head. "We came straight up here after taking our portkey. We were kind of held up at the security checkpoint with some muggles." she explained. She had been wanting to head down there herself. "I was going to go down and take a look myself. I kind of want some stuff."

Dora let herself be lifted to her feet by Silas and she shook her head. It was kind of fuzzy still but she felt better nonetheless. Putting her hand on her husband to be's cheek she said, "Thank you love."

Looking to Pandora she gave her a weak smile and said, "Can you two help me back to the tent, I think I need to lie down."

Silas nodded and looked over at Pandora as well, giving a nod. He snaked his arm around Dora to help support her and placed her arm around his neck. Stooping just a little so that his height wasn't an issue, he was ready to catch her again if need be.

Indeed, he was ready to just pick her up and carry her if called for.

"We'll go slow," he whispered.

"Shall we head down then?" Carter asked.

Now that Dora was on her feet, Pandora breathed a little bit easier. "Well, leaving you on the floor to get trampled would be a bit of a poor show, wouldn't it?" she said wryly, hoping to draw a smile. She nodded to Silas and wrapped her arm around Dora's waist under his, pulling Dora's arm around her own waist.

"Right, now we're all set up for the six legged race, let's not forget that slow and steady wins the day." She said as they made their way out, only half joking.

"Sure, most of my family is gone. Just let me tell my sisters I'm going." Mina answered as she got up and walked over to Camille. Leaning over to whisper in her older sister's ear, she explained where she was going and she's be back at the tent soon. Camille looked over and nodded, giving her permission of sorts. Smiling, she walked back over. "Free to explore now." she grinned as she quickly checked to see she had her small purse.

Isabella was very gald that she could see the Quidditch World Cup and England winning the cup.she was just so excited.she turned to her mum as they were getting up.
Mum i want to take Emma Greene's Autograph she said.Her mum didnt think that would be the best idea.the players will be surrounded by tight security and it would be difficult she told her but Bella wanted autograph from the English Players and also Austrailian.its not everyday that you get to meet Austrailian players too isnt it?
her mum and brother just walked her down to see if they could do something about the autographs.

Xavier Smiled sweetly as the girl replied and she was joined by her friend. Little by little more people were beginning to fill the stadiums seats. He figured it would look wierd for a grown man to carry on a conversation with two young girls so he decided to part from them. "well ladies, I hope you too have a wonderful experience. Have a nice day" and with that he was off to the other side of the stand section. He hasn't thought to invite anyone and he hadn't much friends. So he sat lonesome. maybe ill make some friends today he thought.

The match euphoria was on...Laura saw Xavier walk to the other side of the stand section.she looked at him and smiled.
Xavier Vindictive?hello she said standing up and putting her hand out for a handshake.she didnt know how well he would remember her from the British Division Seats but she remembered him.
