A loud crack of lightning made Penny jump. She looked up to see where Mads was at. She was getting really nervous when she could not find. She covered her eyes with her hand to keep the rain snow ice, whatever it was from blocking her vision.

Melinda walked in into the stands, late, as always. She couldn't find herself with all that rainy snow icy thing going around them. She just hoped not to get sick.

Curt made his way out into the Quidditch Pitch late into the session after he finished scrubbing the bottom of the kitchen toilets. He never knew that it was against school rules to take food out of the kitchens. EVERYONE did it. Now he was missing the game, his fury was scary to behold.

Curt looking up into the sky, tears threatened to fill his eyes as he realized that he was spectating his own team mates playing out there without him. With a lough huff, Curt pulled his scarf tighter and stood along the edge. He was so transfixed it was almost inhuman. "C'MON BADGERS!" Curt screamed at the top of his lungs, "LETS GO PRETZEL, STAY AGREESIVE! YOU'RE DOING GREAT!" he shouted to his captain, knowing good and well that she couldn't hear him. The cheering was probably not loud enough to be heard by the players, but it made him feel better.

Kayla chuckled lightly. "Well great minds do think alike as they say" she raised an eyebrow. "A little looking never hurt anyone, so long as you keep your hands to yourself, then I can't see a problem with it" she shrugged, there was just too much irony in those words.

She looked at the match being played out for a moment before looking back towards Evolette a hint of amusement in her eyes. "Oh Slytherin of course" she joked and laughed along with Evolette.

Kayla studied the girl for a moment still racking her brain on where she had her name before. "I am right in assuming we have never met before right? I only ask because I have heard your name before and I can't place where."

Ryan chuckled. "You know just as well as I do that I would never bench you. You and that beaters bat have become one." Perhaps a genuine compliment would cool the girls nerves off a little.

"Not really," he smirked. "More like Rapunzel. I mean, I guess I'm rooting for Hufflepuff since this is her first match as captain and I want to see her do well, but at the same time, I know they're good. Heck. Both of the teams are good."

Ryan turned around to see a friendly face - Cale...Gryffie Cale. Even though the boy had been Ryan's rival only a week ago, Ryan still considered Cale a good guy, and a friend indeed.

"I'm doing pretty well, thank you. Yourself?" Ryan wanted to congratulate Cale on being the only person to score on him during the match...and twice at that! He wasn't quite sure how to go about it, though. The direct approach was best, he supposed. "Oh, and congratulations for getting past me twice during the match. That takes some made skill. You've got quite the arm there, friendo."

Caleum made his way into the stands a tad late for the game and the first thing he sees are two Seekers racing towards the stands and he knew what it was. The Golden Snitch. He crossed his arms for a moment noticing the Hufflepuff was none other than Dominic and he smiled.

So far the game seemed to be close and seemed to be just the game to watch. He walked up and took a seat in the stands to watch the game this time instead of watching the students. This was a game he was waiting to watch for this year.

Fabulous.
Ice was falling from the sky and pelting her in the head.
Rolling her eyes in annoyance to this new weather development, Mariel pulled her hat down tightly over her ears. She hated the cold.

She was startled to hear a loud crack of lightning. That would not be fun to play in. Falling ice was bad enough, who'd want to get struck by lightning? Glancing over at Jenn, she saw the girl frantically scanning the sky. Was she one of those girls that got terrified by a thunderstorm? Or was it something else?

Cale shrugged modestly and smiled. "Thanks, although I think it was pure luck that I got past you those two times. Didn't do much good in the end but...I'll be rubbing that in your face for the rest of our academic lives, just to let you know. And probably afterwards, we'll have to see," he said with a chuckle.

"So, other than leading your team to another winning season, what's new?" he asked, glancing over at the Hufflepuff prefect and his housemate once more. So far so good. But if he heard shouting he would be over there in a heartbeat.

The seekers dived, and Curt's lungs collapsed. He was hanging on edge for what seemed like eternity until the Gold rose into the air. Curt thrust his arms into the air and jumped up and down seven times. "DOMINIC DENTON!" Curt shouted, the fire in his belly really rumbling now. "THE DOMINATOR EVERYONE ! LOOK OUT!" Curt yelled over his shoulder to the others behind him. This type of behavior was usually not within Curt's personality, Quidditch was the definite exception.

Noticing Caleum Myers walked behind him and sitting down, Curt sprinted over to the Professor. Curt jogged over to the man and sat down next to him, Curt's gleeful expression was so overjoyed that the sheer cold wasn't even fazing him. "Great catch, eh' professor?" Curt said, basically bouncing in his seat. He figured deep down that Professor Myers wanted the Huffie's to pull it out.

In spite of herself, Willow had to admit this game was getting interesting. Just a little bit, though. At least having come all the way from the warm insides of the Ravenclaw common room had been worth it. Sort of.

And then a mass curly dark hair caught the young Ravenclaw’s attention, the same moment that Weird Boy had gotten the snitch. Huh. Hufflepuff and Slytherin were tied in snitch grabs now. “I will take that as a compliment, I think,” she answered, a grin dancing upon her lips. “Well, other than the fact that my short self is freezing, I’m well, thank you. How are you doing?”

And for comments like the one Ryan had just uttered was because Clifford Carden thought of her as a Bone Crusher. Not that she cared much, of course—being feared by an older boy was not a bad thing in the slightest. Heh. “Good. You scared me for a bit there,” she replied, using a joking tone of voice. She was being serious, though.

Not really? Rapunzel would be so not pleased to hear that, Good! Anything that displeased her was good for Willow. “If you ever repeat this, I swear I will hunt you down and smack you with my bat, Ryan,” She gave him a stern look “But I don’t think I want to face Hufflepuff in the Championship.”

Jenn watched in horror as a Hufflepuff chaser crashes and a Slytherin seeker gets hit by some lightning. She looked over at Mariel and Rian. She hears the whistle and sighs in relief. "I thought they weren't going to stop it."she said to them. "So do we come back tomorrow?"she askes. She looks around for Biff and sighs in relief when she sees him. He was in one peace. Good.

"Dear, you should be rooting for Slytherin since I am on the team" Biff told Jennamura. " How is it going Rian?" he asked her. " Biff kissed Jennamura on the cheek. " How did I go? he asked her.

Evolette chuckled as she moved her eyes once more to watch the players whizzing back and forth and everywhere around the pitch. Goodness, this was giving her a headache!

"Slytherin?" She asked, smirking, "Well than it is true. Great minds do think alike." Although, last time she managed to pay attention, her dear house team was not doing so well.

"You know." she started, turning around to better look at the girl, "I have been wondering the same thing, although, I'm sure I would remember meeting you. I do have quite a good memory. Perhaps we have a mutual friend of sorts?"

She chewed on her lip as she thought some more, but nothing came to her.

Hrllo Mariel" Biff told her. ' You doing good?" he asked her.

He couldn't stand it anymore as the Slytherin and Hufflepuff were neck and neck together after the snitch. Caleum stood up from where he sat as his eyes watched in anticipation.

And then he caught it! Dominic caught the snitch! Caleum began clapping with a smirk on his face as his eyes then fell to a student next to him.

"Oh that was the best," he gleamed as he took his seat once more. "I just hate that I was late to the game. I guess better late than never." His eyes glanced around him as students began to walk around. "How has the game been so far?"

Ryan laughed at the boy's comment. So what if it had been luck? He still managed to get the quaffle past Ryan...and that didn't happen often. "Well, either way, you should be proud, and you have the right to rub it in my face for the rest of our lives."

He chuckled again before adding, "Nothing much, really. Just preparing for my NEWTs next year...studying, reading, hanging out with Punz. Typical sixth year stuff, I guess." He shrugged. He had been keeping a rather low profile this term.

"Good. You should be scared," he added, sternly, but still jokingly. There was a slight twinkle in his eyes that gave him away. Darn those eyes.

"Oh, your secret's safe with me. To be honest, I don't want to face them either. Have you seen their keeper? He's a monster!" He emphasized this by stretching his arms up in the air and turning his hands into claws. "A monster, I tell you!....But at the same time, I want to beat Rapunzel. I haven't played against her since my first term on the team when we both were seekers. I'm out for revenge...plus, I want to see her do well, like I said." Then again, not everyone could have as successful a first season as captain as he could.

He turned back to the game, and he watched in horror as Rapunzel crashed. It all happened in slow motion. First she missed the shot, then she couldn't pull out and turn to avoid the goals, then she clipped the hoop, then she went careening into the side stands. He immediately shot up in the stands and ran over to where she had crashed, shouting "RAPUNZEL!" and checking over the barrier the whole way over.

Jenn turned in surprise as she heard Biff. "Biff! Oh good! Your in one peace!"she said hugging him. She kissed him back. "You did wonderful."she said laughing. She let go of and him and giggled. "Your all....wet."she said smiling.

Kayla's eyes flicked towards the game once more. She couldn't tell you who was winning and although she did hope that Hufflepuff won, it was no great loss to her if they didn't.

"Yes perhaps" she murmured still lost in concentration over it. Why couldn't she remember, she never forgot a name or a face. Well that was until her fight with Nico and ever since then she had been totally with it. And then hit her as though she had been struck with a bolt of lightening. "Nicholai" she choked out.

Cale shrugged again. "Yeah, sixth year can be pretty boring like that," he said with a sigh. He had actually had a lot going on up until--last month, when he finally made up with Anna. Now life seemed to be crawling along at snail pace, and sometimes the common room seemed like the land where time stood still. He glanced at the scoreboard--he wasn't even sure who was winning, to be honest.

He turned his attention back to the game as that Rapunzel girl, Huffie captain and Ryan's girlfriend person, crashed horribly. He blinked and his mouth fell open. Ouch, that did NOT look good. He watched Ryan run off and sighed. Poor Rapunzel. It always seemed like the captains seemed to get the worst injuries--and on the Gryffie team, number two catastrophe waiting to happen was himself. "I hope she's alright," he muttered aloud to himself as Ryan made his way over to her crash sight.

"The wetter the better" Biff laughed. " I must smell, too" he told her. " Thanks for worrying about me my rainbow-haired girl" Biff tells Jennamura.

Curt smirked as he saw Professor Myers reaction, of course he was for the Huffie's. Shivering severely, Curt looked up into the dark clouds, hoping that the storm would die down soon. It was getting quite bad. After Curt noticed that Dominic had the snitch, he saw Rapunzel careening downward after she had smacked one of the goal posts. She didn't hit the ground too hard though, he knew she'd be alright. "Tough girl, Punzie is." Curt mused to the Professor, she made an excellent captain.

Indeed the best, Curt smirked. That was an awesome save, in the flash of a lightning bolt. How COOL was that? Greenwood was gonna be alright too, Vindictus was on it, and he knew his stuff. Curt nodded, better late then never seemed to define him as well. "So true." Curt said with a grin, his violent mood of not being in the game being replaced with the glee in which Dominic inspired by catching the second snitch. "Oh, I wasn't here either. I had to scrub the kitchen toilets because I took a few snacks from the kitchen pantry. The elves are a lot stricter this year." Curt said with a slight blush, unfortunately he was missing tomorrows session as well to to dishes. Without magic, Curt sighed at the thought. "But I think Slytherin caught the first snitch. Dominic must've been nervous." Curt shrugged, it was his first Quidditch match at Hogwarts after all.

No sooner did she have the thought about being struck by lightning when one of the players actually was. Eyes widened in horror, she watched the players for a few minutes before realizing that they were alright. Quidditch certainly was a dangerous sport. Is that what made it exciting for her?

She looked over at Jenn in confusion to answer her question as the game was stopped. "Tomorrow? They're only taking a break until the storm subsides. But I think I'm going to head in to warm up a bit." She would be thankful for a reprieve from the ice storm.

Before she could get up from her seat, she was surprised to se Biff coming thier way. Why wasn't he in the locker room with his team? "I'm good Biff, thanks," she answered. "Nice bludger work. Looked like difficult conditions though," she said, eyeing him a bit suspiciously.

Evolette winced as the Hufflepuff captain crashed into the stands. Ow. That has got to hurt. Another reason why Quidditch was not something she enjoyed.

She was distracted again as Kayla started talking. "Nico! Yes!" she said happily, smiling. Wow, that had been a hard one- she couldn't believe she had not thought of that sooner.

Then her smile slipped. Nico. As in this was Kayla. THE Kayla that he had told her about..... oops. "I mean, yeah." she added with a slightly subdued tone. "I'm very sorry about what's happened with the two of you."

Should she have said that?

Turning her eyes back to the pitch, she realized that the match was over. Hopefully Slytherin would do better in the second round.

Jenn laughed. "Now that you mention it, you do smell a bit."she said teasenly. Jenn smiled and hugged him. "Your welcome."she said.

Kayla watched Evolette's facial expressions as she realised that their mutual acquaintance was Nicholai. She wondered what Nico had told Evolette about her because going by her reaction and what she had just said, she definitely knew of her.

"So am I" Kayla responded softly. "You know you have to be the first girl that knows Nico, besides Nikki of course that I actually don't feel threatened by" she shrugged. "I don't know what it is but I feel comfortable with you and know that you're not trying to sink your claws into him. Not that it's any of my business anymore who's trying to sink their claws in" she looked at Evolette and she couldn't speak for the older girl but she had a feeling that they could actually be friends.
