As Ludo yelled he caught a few younger Hufflepuff girls roll their eyes at him.
He smirked. "Guess some people just can't get into that spirit. Don't see what the problem is...they're surrounded by cheering people." he thought, rolling the idea of the Sonorus Charm over in his head. He laughed.

Ludo pulled his scarf tighter around his neck as a gust of wind blew through the stands. He turned away from the other stand-sitting students and refocused on the match.

Via almost forgot it's the game between Gryffindor and ravenclaw. She made her way to the stands and searched for an empty seat. It's a little bit hard to find a seat now because the stand was full of screaming Claws and Gryffies along with the Slytherins and HUfflepuffs.

Jillian giggled. "Well, that's one silly bludger then. I mean, who would call something that could possibly hurt them?" Jillian asked. It was obviously a rhetorical question, but then she remembered that time when she was five and they lived in Romania for a while. Her father was studying dragons and she tried to get closer to them. "Oh, wait...y'know what, never mind." The answer was clear. She was that oddball who would most likely get injured by her 'adventures'.

Jillian allowed Daphne to care for her arm. "Wicked." she said, grinning as she gazed upon her slinged arm. "You make a good nurse, Daphne. I hope me arm's still in a sling the next time we play pirates. It'll look authentic." Then her lower li protruded a bit once she realized they'd have to go to the nurse and heal it quickly before the next game. Oh, nifflers!

Jillian saw a Hufflepuff girl walking away. She was talking to Daphne before Jillian came and now Jillian felt a bit guilty. Did this girl leave because Jillian suddenly popped up?

"Hey Daph, who was that girl you were talking to before? Did I make her go away?" she asked her friend. The she turned to the direction of the girl. "Hey, HEY! Erm, Hufflepuff girl!" that sounded idiotic. But then Jillian didn't really know the girl's name. "C'mere for a sec. Did I make you leave? I'm sorry!" Okay, so yelling wasn't very polite, but apologizing was. See? Those mini-etiquette lessons with Daphne were working...sort of.

Jillian smiled as she saw Cale, and those unmistakable sideburns, approach them. "Here she is!" Jillian announced, pushing Daphne forward with her good arm. "And look, she made me a sling for me arm." Jillian showed off her piratey sling. To make herself look even more piratey, she feigned a black eye, winking, and made a hook with her index finger of her good arm.

Jillian nodded and answered the question that wasn't really meant for her. "Oh yeah. Very tough. I got beat up!" Finally realizing that maybe getting beat up wasn't really as much fun as she thought. But then again. "Oh, hey. I'm a real Quidditch player now. I got the bruises and everything!" Haha. Like her mother always says, there was always a silver icing on the cloud cake...or something like that.

Jillian nodded encouragingly towards Cale's direction. Daphne could be social. Jillian had agreed to those etiquette lessons only if Daphne would practice being more social.

Jillian giggled. Daphne had the most...interesting topics to have small talk with. "Well, if we do get frostbite, I'm sure the nurse can cure us faster than you can say merlin's pink polka-dotted pants five times fast. And besides..." she patted her leg "If she can't cure me leg, I'll get a peg leg and look even more piratey! Arg!!!!"

Jillian laughed at Cale's remark. "Hey, you never know. Once you get outta here you might go work for the Ministry and we'll have to call you Mister Newell, Mister Newell." she teased.

"Of course we can handle anything!" Jillian chimed in. "If Vindictus told us right now to get back on those broomsticks, we'd be the first to fly off. Like a few bruises would slow us down. Psh. GO LIONS!" she punched the air with her fist, accidentally using her bad arm. "Ow, ow, ow..." Jillian looked at her arm annoyed, as if it was it's fault, and not the bludger's, that she was impaired. "Stupid arm."

Tia wandered up to the stands and sat down in one of the empty seats she had friends on both teams but wanted gryffindor to do well cause she knew more of the gryffindor team than the ravenclaw team

Daphne lowered her head slightly, smiling crookedly at Cale, her apology for carelessly insinuating he was old. There she had gone and made a mess of things shoving titles on people against their will and going on and on about unpleasant things like loss of limbs and body heat thus causing death of tissue. Thankfully, she had Jillian to fill in the holes of the conversation for her without her even needing to ask for her help.

Her hands were resting against the sides of her neck, her scarf busy now working full time as Jillian's sling. Upon hearing her name called, the blond girl turned her head sideways and smiled gently at Raiden Kururugi. "Christmas Eve," she replied simply, shuffling her feet in the process. She had wanted to reply to Raiden but it seemed now those nearby could hear her answer. It was too late now, however. "It's on Christmas Eve."

It was starting to dawn on Daphne Hopton that Jillian McGuffin had some strange fascination for pirates and she tried to smile amicably even though the thought of Jillian losing a leg wasn't as amusing as her friend made it out to be. "I don't think it would be easy to climb the changing stairs with a peg leg though," was her only reply amongst the ample conversation. Then she just had to do it. "Quit fidgeting. You'll make your arm worse."

Miranda thought this was all the kaos that would be seen during the match, but as soon as she had offered Dominic the chocolate, she noticed that her captain had fallen into a heap of snow. Errr...

Miranda was glad her chocolate was useful for everyone. "Mmmm, melted chocolate" she took one for herself, unwrapped the sticky paper and put it in her mouth. "Is goo' isni?" she said chewing. Delicious.

Miranda had heard the DADA teachers comment. Instantly she felt proud, she had indeed turned in her homework. Turning around to face him with a grin, she instead sat there with a stupid smile on her face. She sighed.

Suddenly she saw some movement in the corner of her eye, she was distracted from her thoughts. Miranda saw that it was Nancy! She waved back, beckoning her to sit on the empty seat beside her. "Why don't you sit over here? C'mon!" she smiled big waving her over.

Jessica didn't have anything better to do than to come and watched the game. She didn't really support any team, she just came to watch. The girl remembered when she herself had played Quidditch at Hogwarts.
"Watching a game is much better than playing it. At least I'm not nervous when viewing." the girl thought.

Oh no. She shouldn't have waved at Miranda. Of course she would invite her to sit next to her. Nancy mentally slapped herself for her not thinking of the consequences her actions might have beforehand. Okay, it was too late now, anyway. Deep breath. Closing her eyes so it would be easier to bear the pain which was about to come she stood up again from her seat. Okay, you can do this, Nancy. Right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot. The distance between her goal, Miranda, and herself became smaller and smaller.
Randomly grabbing shoulders for support so she wouldn't fall headfirst onto the ground Nancy finally managed to arrive at where Miranda was sitting. Inhaling deeply through her nose she conjured a smile onto her face and said, "Yes, I'd love to. So, who are supporting?"

Hugo was cheering. Sure, his team weren't playing...but Willow sure was. So he was totally supporting RAVENCLAW, and showing the Raven pride by wearing his blue and grey striped hoodie. Bwaha. Waving a little flag with the words 'I HEART WILLOW' on it, he grinned. Heh heh. Showing support for his friend; so lovely of him, eh?

Totally.

"WHOOOO GO RAVENCLAW!" Hugo bellowed, his voice echoing across the stands.

Yay! Miranda watched as Nancy came over, it was odd though, she kept touching everyone she passed. Awww I want to have taht many friends too! Miranda also noticed that Nancy seemed like she was struggling, maybe it was this cold! Miranda rubbed her hands together, her gloves were too thin, maybe she should wear her chaser gloves instead.

Miranda thought about Nancy's question. "Well...Im not really sure." she said frowning "Both I guess!" she grinned "Both are really good, its a good chance to see their play, incase we meet them someday" she said. "Chocolate frog?" Miranda offered to Nancy. "Who are you rooting for?"

Meredith had only watched the game and not really looked around at the other people, but now she did. She heard a boy shout "WHOOOO GO RAVENCLAW!" and looked around to see who it was. She saw a boy she'd seen walking around in the school, but she was sure it was a Slytherin. Well, Slytherin wasn't playing, so it wasn't so weird for people of Slytherin or Hufflepuff to support other houses. She thought it was nice of the boy to support Ravenclaw.
She looked around at the other people and saw Nancy taking to another girl. She waved at her, smiling.

Kiri fidgeted around in her seat excitedly. Gryffindor were behind, but she was keeping her eyes on Piper, her hands clenched into fists so tightly that the fingers were white. Come on, she thought to herself, despite the excitement not able to shout it out loud like so many other people. You can do it!

Phew! Miranda obviously hadn't noticed the pain that was almost killing her every time she took another step forward. Gulping Nancy continued to grin at Miranda who was offering her a chocolate frog. "Love to. Thanks." Maybe this was going to ease the pain a bit. Maybe. Carefully streching her right foot since that way it wasn't hurting as much Nancy still tried to be inconspicious about it. She wanted to watch the match after all.

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot. You're on the team, right? Which position are you?" Nancy actually was a bit jealous of Miranda but also felt happy for her. Next year she was going to be on her house team as well. Next year. "Hmm...tough decision, but I'm more for the Ravenclaws, I guess. I don't know that many Gryffindors so..." She trailed off looking to her right she noticed another Slytherin boy who was also obviously, really obviously, supporting Ravenclaw. He even had made a banner. Nancy smiled to herself and then turned back towards Miranda. Nodding towards the boy she whispered with a grin on her face, "I think, he'd be agreeing with me."

Rapunzel had spent a little too much time inside, just trying to get the snow out off her clothes and the STUFF off her scarf. But she bounded back up the steps of the stands, just in time to see her boyfriend block another Gryffie shot.

"WOOOOOT RYAN!" she cheered, wondering if he could even hear her. No matter; 'twas the thought that counted. Punz clapped and then sat down in the first row again, smiling to Miranda and her friend.

Dominic had been watching idly the pitch, hardly noticing all the action around him in the stands. Finally Kayla replied back to his comment of throwing something at her... which was tempting...

Quite tempting. "No Kayla, I am not chaser, but I do have an eye for things," he replied back snidely. Looking nearby, he saw two professors, one being his house modulator, the other of magical creatures. And lots of snow. Hmm....

Without another thought, the fourth year scooped a small amount of the frozen wet stuff and threw it directly at her.



He turned around to look at Professor Myers, smiling again when he said he wouldn't miss it. "Oh no worries, we do plan eat those snakes alive!" Dominic replied quickly. But then his eyes narrowed at a point just above the professors head where something shiny was hovering. The snitch. It distracted him so for a moment, that he completely missed the comment about pride within Badger House, and then him talking with Professor Brooks.

"The snitch." he murmured quietly, pointing above his head.

His distraction faltered as he heard Rapunzel slide into a pile of snow, which gave him a bigger idea. An idea that really started from Kayla and her almost dare to throw something at her. "More dangerous in the stands than on the pitch, it seems," Dominic mused, picking up another small amount of wet frozeness.

"Hey Punz! Look out!" he grimaced, as he threw a snowball at her as well, thus starting the great snowball fight of the stands!


Dominic saw her eat the chocolate, but was slightly curious how it could be melted in this freezing cold. Shaking his head, he decided he better just continue his snowball throwing, ignoring completely the sudden dive of the seekers towards his part of the stands.

"Delicious? How about compared to this?" he smirked, playing delicately with some more snow...

Miranda chuckled at nancys comment. That was cute with his little flag. "Oh yeah, im a chaser" Miranda smiled, she was so scared about Hufflepuffs first match, which coincidentally was against Slytherin. "So our first match is against Slytherin..." she trailed off "Will you still be rooting for me?" she grinned "You promised!" Miranda joked wiggling her eyebrows.

Miranda heard someone cheer, turning around she saw Rapunzel walking back and sitting next to both of them. Ryan? That must be her super fast ferocious friend she was talking about. She gulped.

Turning back to Nancy, Miranda said "Yeah, I dont know many Gryffindors or Ravenclaws either" she shrugged. "But they sure are good..."

Rapunzel was positively beaming now, for the Ravenclaws had WON with that snitch grab, when she felt something hard and and and WET hit the back of her head, effectively knocking off her purple knitted hat.

"Oh. My. MERLIN." She muttered evilly, slowing grabbing a fistful of snow as she turned to see the culprit.

"Oh no you didn, boy. Mmmmuhh WATCH OUT!" Punz narrowed her green eyes at the goof Dominic Denton and launched her snowball right at his smug little head. Heeeehehee. This could be quite fun but who knew that boy had a sense of humor?!

Miranda watched as the Ravenclaw seeker, who seemed faster than lightning, grab the snitch! Wow Miranda started to clap along with the crowd, this was a great game!
She noticed the team flying around cheering and clapping and whatnot, Miranda was grinning, oh and look a Ravenclaw is flying really close to where Miranda was sitting with her team. Hmmm, hes coming closer Errr - "Ouuhchhccchh !" Miranda put a hand on her head, that crazy Ravenclaw almost smacked my head off! Turning she noticed that Rapunzel had been smacked aswell. "Yeah you better fly away..." she called, making a little snowball.

Closing her eyes again Nancy took a bite of the chocolate frog Miranda had given her. Mmh.. It really helped ease the soaring pain in her knee, or at least Nancy tried to talk herself into believing this. Opening her blue eyes again to look towards Miranda smiled. "Wow, Chaser. I prefer playing Seeker, though." Not that she had a lot of experience or anything but she still liked that position somehow.
Miranda's next comment made a smirk appear on Nancy's face. Oooh. That was going to be tough match for the Hufflepuffs. "Well, I'm definitely be here to watch. Well, I'm not sure for whom I'll be cheering, though." Leaning in a bit she added in a whisper, "Well, either way, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. You'll be great." She smiled warmly at Miranda.

Noticing Dominic grabbing some snow with a sly smile on his face Nancy automatically ducked pulling Miranda down along with her. "Whoa, watch out." But the snowball wasn't meant for either of them but for the Hufflepuff Quidditch captain, whos name Nancy had forgotten. Phew.

The crowd started to scream and shout which made Nancy look at the score. "Woooot! Ravenclaw won! They've won!!" Beaming at Miranda Nancy wanted to stand up to join in with the others cheering for Ravenclaw but thought better of it. It wasn't worth another one of those soaring pains from her knee.

Ravenclaw had won, but Dominic didn't care right now. He had a snowball fight on his hands that was far more amusing and required more focus than anything else going on on the pitch right now. Even more interesting than the Gryffindor seeker making snow angels below.

"Yes I did!" he smirked back, but before he could do anything else, a snowball hit him splat in the face. BRR! That was cold. "Oh you..." he scooped up some more snow, looking around for another victim. Two more.

Two snowballs in hand, he chucked one at Miranda, who seemed to have been making one herself to prepare... and then another at the Slytherin girl (Nancy) who was nearby. MWAHA.

Miranda blanked at his comment. What exactly did he mean by that, and why was he doing that to the snow? Mirandas eyes grew wider.

"Wow seeker, that must mean your'e really good" she said in awe. Seekers were afterall the best players. "Awww thankyou" Miranda blushed at Nancys comment, she was so nice! Blegh, how embarrasing if I mess up.

"Go Ravenclaw!" Miranda surprised herself, she wasnt really rooting for them... "But go Gryffindor too!" that's better she thought. Although if you can't beat them, join them. Hopefully though, we would beat them. She grinned to herself.

Miranda was suddenly pulled down, looking to her side she saw Nancy, her knight, err, heroine! Confused, she looked around akwardly and noticed her captain with snow all over the back of her head. "Whoa! thanks!" she said grateful. Hearing a yell she assumed the voice to belong to her captain. Uh oh. "Um Nancy, Im not completely sure, but it think were in the middle of a snowball fight!" she grinned.

Way too occupied with cheering for Ravenclaw Nancy was totally oblivious to her surroundings right now. Which meant totally oblivious to Dominic who was apparently aiming a snowball at her. Half-turning back towards Miranda she noticed the white ball flying towards her but it was too close to dodge it anymore.
"Ouch!" She managed to choke out between the freezing cold stuff that was spread across her face. Using her scarf to get rid of the snow Nancy glared at Dominic. How dare he? Stupid Hufflepuff. As quickly as she could she grabbed some snow from the ground form a snowball in her hands. Nancy was glad to having brought her gloves, they were quite usefull right now. Aiming at the Hufflepuff boy she threw the cold watery mess at him with a smirk on her face. Hopefully it was going to hit him.

"AAaaaiii !!!" Miranda shrieked! It was soooo cold! Spluttering, she wiped the snow off her face. She had a funny taste in her mouth, some of the snow had gotten in her mouth. EEeeew!

Miranda noticed that Nancy had gotten hit too. Well this means WAR !
Scooping up a hanful of snow, she started to make a ball. Hopefully her chaser abilites would help her in covering that Dominic Denton in snow. "AAaaaaaah!" she screamed as she attacked, her snowball flew and hit Dominic on the shoulder. Another one! she thought as she quickly picked up more snow.
"Go Nancy!" she cheered

Rapunzel was still evilglaregrinning at Dominic when her HAIR was now messed up by a random BROOM flying over them.

"OH MYLANTA!" she shouted, turning to shake her fist at the Ravenclaw culprit. He might've been far away by now but she couldn't mistake that mop of curly hari - it was that Tino boy that burst he water balloons in Charms. Hmmph.

Punz rolled up a snowball and tossed it onto the pitch after him. Then she whipped around and rolled up another one, aiming for Dominic again....only she spun too fast and the ball went right for Mr. Masterson's head.

"Oops. Sorry sir!" she muttered, blushing a little. He was the 2nd-cutest professor here and Punz really didn't want to mess up his pretty face.

Jillian whipped her head towards Daphne the moment she announced her birthday. "Wow, Daph. Up until now I didn't even know when your birthday was. I am such a terrible friend." Jillian said pouting. It was a good thing Jillian got over a lot of stuff easily. She was already formulating plots on how to celebrate Daphne's birthday.

Jillian pondered on that. True, it would be difficult to race up the staircases when you were late for class and they started moving. "Well, since I'll be impaired maybe I can get the teachers to allow me a magic carpet! That'd be fun!" Jillian flashed her pearly whites again. "Then I can pretend that's me ship and go ARRGGGGG! all the time. I dun want me a parrot though. I still want me a frog."
