And she had to show her team just how she was sure they would be the ones holding the cup. And so, she shook the pompons. "COME ON, RAVENCLAW!," She yelled with all her might. "YOU CAN DO THIS! EAGLES WERE BORN TO FLY!" Erm, alright, so maybe her cheering wasn't that good, but, well, it was the truth, wasn't it? Erm...

Quickly scanning the crowd around her, her eyes stopped in the figure of no other than her best friend. "Juniiiiii!," She called out, hoping the girl would listen. Perhaps if the two of them shouted together, then the team would hear better and score a few points.

Juniper spun around as she heard her name, her hyacinth nearly falling out of her hair. She barely got her hands up in time to catch the pom-poms that Cela threw at her. The fourth year had never seen a pair of pom-poms... and so she had absolutely no idea what to do with them. She stared at Cela for several moments until she heard her name called again.

Grinning at Melly, Juniper hugged her friend and handed the pom-poms to her. "GOOOO Ravenclaw!" the fourth year shouted with all her might. "You can do it you can do it! Goooo Mariel!"

"Wooo!" Vanessa cheered, really to all of the players as she watched the game. They were all doing so amazing, they all should be proud. If only Hufflepuff could have been in the final. "Go Lions!" She grinned, shouting it out, cheering on the Gryffindors, hoping that they would get victory. Although she knew that if the ydid win, Terry would be blatently bragging for the entirety of the summer, and that would be oh so amazing. Taking in a deep breath, Vannie got read yo shout again, hoping that she wasn't making Dominic deaf or anything.

"GO LIONS SHOW THOSE EAGLES!"

"OOoooh! Ahh! The seekers twitch, GO GO EAGLES, Get that SNITCH!" Cela hollered.

"Go Mariel!" Oh my goodness it was all so close!

Cela jumped up and down and continued cheering, excited now that so many others were getting into the spirit of it all.

The snitch again... there it goes... ohmigosh...
Via kept on Screaming. She was getting hooked with the game and exhaustion was the last word that would popped on her mind right now.

Snitch.... Lions get it....

Too busy to greet her friend properly, Melina simply shoot Juniper a grand beam and squeezed her friend's hand for a couple of seconds before shaking the pompons highly in the air again.

"COME ON RAVENCLAAAAW!," She shouted. "GET THAT SNITCH!"

They HAD to win!

Ooooooh, talk about being distracted!!! Evangeline almost slapped herself in the forehead when she realised she had been daydreaming and therefore and missed part of the match. Jeez, she knew she wasn't interested in Quidditch but come on! "GO GO RAVENCLAW!!!" The Slytherin Prefect cheered, shaking her pom-pom around. "FLY EAGLES!!! SHOW THOSE LIONS WHO IS THE BOOOOSSS!!!"

Ahem. Slytherin was, of course. Snort.

Dominic heard Vanessa cheering loudly for Gryffindor. Both teams were truly playing outstanding today and so he couldn't help but maintain his neutral stance on his own cheering. Despite the bias ones towards Gryffindor or Ravenclaw that he heard from the other supporters.

Ooo... Eagles caught another snitch and now... well the next snitch would determine the winner, cause they were both tied! EEP! Holding his breath, Dom watched nervously as the play continued. He then exhaled sharply before continuing his shouting:

"Chaser, Beater, Keeper, Seeker!!
Let's go players and soar high in the air!
Scoring. Chasing. Bludgers.
It's excitement for one. Excitement for ALL!!!
You're all so fast... all so talented!
Don't give up. Don't let down.
Just keeping on soaring and you will see;
The best is yet to win!!"

Uh-Oh. "Noooo--" she started to say when she noticed who was the one who'd caught the snitch...Not fair, she wanted Winnie to get it...

But there was still one more left...and that one was probably going to be for the Gryffindor crowd...right? Hopefully...

Still, she continued to cheer on the team she was fully supporting...

"COME ON GRYFFINDOR! YOU CAN DO IT!" she exclaimed...well, sure they can do it, 'cause they're not playing against Hufflepuff.

Stopping cheering for a moment, Vanessa turned to Dominic, listening to his poem-y thing, that he was using as a cheer. That was good. Very good. And it wasn't biased towards anyone. "Nice poem." She grinned at him, hoping that he wasn't feeling too angry at her. That wasn't good.

Looking back at the game, she noticed that the Ravenclaws had caught another snitch. "Errmm? Well done Ravvies?" She giggled, not really knowing that to say. She was still going to cheer for Gryffindor anywho.

Go Go Go! Gryffinddorr!!

SQUEEE! The Ravens had caught the snitch! YES! That meant they were tied in number of snitches! They still had a chance to win! They did, they did, they did! Ah, how Melina adored her team.

"GO, GO RAVENCLAAAAW!," The little girl screamed, bouncing with happinesss and shaking the pompons more than ever before. "RAVENCLAW FOR THE WIIIIIN!" They were going to get that cup! She could feel it.

Paris looked over as Dominic started cheering well that was totally unexpected. She jumped up and started cheering with Cela. This was a great game.

Sam grinned. His balloon-lion imitated him before bursting out in a great rumble. "Two snitches on the board,
We fly over your head.
So much so, you'll think you're made of lead." Soon afterward, the lion roared, quite loudly at that. Sam cringed and covered his ears. "I'm trying to watch the game," he mumbled as if the lion was not controlled by him.

Curt had been meandering through the crowd throughtout the stands, visiting with random people. It was really an awesome game, he was all smiles at least. Ah yes, then his grey eyes fell on Kaika. He made his way over, “Insane game, this is.” Curt said, grinning.

“C’MON GRYFFINDOR!! TAKE NO PRISONERS LEXIIII!!!” He wanted the Gryffindor’s to win SO bad, Lexi deserved to go out with a bang like this.

Then Vindictus blew his whistle, something had come up. “What’s going on?” Curt raised a brow at Kaika.

OOOH!! Three whistles!! That had to mean it was over, right? The sixth year shook her pom-pom in the air excitedly. "WELL DONE GUYS!!!! IT WAS A GREAT - " Oh, or not. Bright as a tomato, Evangeline stopped shouting and leant back into her seat once more, acting it cool. Right. She had said nothing and nothing had happened. Nope.

Cough.

She squealed and jumped when a lion roared. She looked around for he culprit. If he wasn't cute she would have popped that balloon, no wait she was trying to be nice and make friends. She giggled when he complained at the lion, and sh tried to return her attention back to the game.

At the sound of the whistle, Melina stopped shouting like a maniac almost instantaneously. What had happened? The match couldn't have ended! Both teams had two snitches, after all. Wasn't it necessary to catch a third? And as far as she was aware, it wasn't time for break, was it? Blinking, she eyed her watch, only to realize that she actually didn't know how long each part of the match lasted.

Decided to find out what had happened, she turned to Juni, whom Melly believed to know exacty what was going on. She played Quidditch, after all. "What's wrong?," She asked, her voice suddenly hoarse. Yep, she had definitely shouted too much.

And her attention from the match was torn, because a much familiar voice was caught by her ears..."CUUUUURT!" she practically yelled, and hugged her Keeper for merely a second, because the game was sooooo worthwhile her attention.

"Yes, pretty insane, huh?" she said, a smile on her face, "Where have you been? NEWTs?" because she knew that if studying for her OWLs required a lot of time, then the NEWTs were considerably worse.

"YES! COME ON GRYFFINDOR!" she exclaimed, happy to know there was another Huffie cheering for the red team.

"The charms worn out...apparently" she shrugged, and watch as Vindictus put the quaffle back into play.

Dominic blinked startled when Vanessa had complimented his poem. "Thanks," he murmured back, keeping his attention on the game.

But wait... what was that? Three whistles? Who won? And suddenly, Vindictus had gone down to get another quaffle because apparently the previous one was bad or something like that. Odd... you'd think one would check to make sure all the balls were in working order before the match started. Shrugging it off, Dom instead continued with his cheering:

"Chaser, Beater, Keeper, Seeker!!
Let's go players and soar high in the air!
Scoring. Chasing. Bludgers.
It's excitement for one. Excitement for ALL!!!
You're all so fast... all so talented!
Don't give up. Don't let down.
Just keeping on soaring and you will see;
The best is yet to win!!"

Curt shook his head in mild frustration, “Yes, NEWTS. It’s killing me, really is. Especially Arithmancy, my head has been spinning for the past month.” But this Quidditch game was of the essense, not school!

Winnie has to get this… she has to. Curt didn’t know the little Gryffie, but he knew that Lexi would made the right appointments for seeker. Curt was on edge. Crossing his arms to try and contain his anxiety, Curt looked back to his cap’n. “Ah, that’s weird.” Curt said with a frown, that had never happened before… as far as he’d known.

It was close, too close. “C’MON GRYFFINDOR! KEEP FIGHTING!!!!” He bursted out of no where, they HAD to win.

Vanessa smiled at Dominic momentarily, before turning back to look at the game. She looked a little confused, as she leaned up on her tiptoes, to see another quaffle being put back into play. That was a little odd, but still the game was back in play now. She shrugged the thoughts off, and continued to cheer. As she did, she noticed Kaika and Curt, who were also cheering for Gryffindor and she waved at the two of them.

GO GRYFFINDOR
LET US HEAR YOU ROAR!

Curt heard yet another familiar voice calling for Gryffindor. And there she was, fellow teammember Vannesa Corbette waving over at him and Kaika. “VANESSA!!” Curt said with a wide grin. He motioned for her to come over and sit with them, Gryffie supporters had to stay together. “Crazy game, huh?” He hollered over the jeering crowd. Game of the year, for sure.

Aha. She nodded, but decided to drop it. Of course, school can sometimes get you pretty, pretty busy, but still...the Quidditch game was still on...

"Tell me about it, this is the first time I've seen something like that happen" Kaika agreed, and her eyes were back on the game, but, wait...isn't that the snitch over there...as a shimmer of something gold was noticed by her...

"GO! GO! GRYFFINDOR!" because they had to win.

Nevermind the game stopping for a moment. They were back on the pitch and MERLIN, wasn't it the most exciting thing she had ever been through? And this time there was no bully Clifford there to ruin it all for her! Ah, she could squeal.

And she did.

The moment Melina saw the seekers from both teams gliding across the pitch at high speed, she knew what had happened. They had spotted the snitch. Bawling banshees. Before she noticed what she was doing, she had brought the pompons to her mouth and bit hard on one of them as she waited to see who caught the snitch. Oh please, please, please, let it be Ravenclaw!

And there was the snitch. And the dive of the seekers towards... OH NO!! They were coming towards the stands again! Apparently the little golden object was attracted to something in the stands. Maybe the noise? Anxiously, Dominic popped another lemondrop into his mouth and cheered again:

"Seekers! Seekers! Feel that breeze! Feel the rush! GO GO AND GET THAT SNITCH!"

Vanessa looked around, as she heard someone shout her name. She giggled, and grinned when saw who it was. "CURRTT!" She She yelled back to him. She hadn't seen him for aaggees! aand he was leaving this term! No Fairrr!
When he motioned for her to come over, she glanced at Dominic, before walking over to Curt, and Kaika. She figured he wouldn't miss her. "Hey guys," She smiled, as she took a seat next to them. "yeah!" She nodded, as she looked back at the game.

"oooh! Lookie there going for the snitch!" She gasped, pointing at the game. COME ON GRYFFINDOR!!
