To the side of the Quidditch Stadium, a massive white party tent has been erected. The sign outside the tent makes its purpose very clear:

Meet the professional Quidditch players!

Autograph session will begin shortly after the game.

"Of course you want his autograph," he said, referring to Colin as the conversation switched back to the Quidditch guyyyy. "But you need to get mine, too. Especially if you're getting Torin's." Yupp.

"You've stopped whispering," Fyo pointed out. "Anyone can hear you now." Duh. But Torin had to know, in case he hadn't realized his oh-so-serious mistake of DOOM!

"Oi, lower your voice, mater," Fyo said, as Torin's voice kept growing more and more distant to the state of whisper-dom. "You're going to get yourself into trouble." Which would be prettyyy sad, ya know.

"I'm not going to get in trouble for anything! And I'm not lowering my voice. Just keep the secret."

He didn't care about Reese hearing stuff. He wasn't going to tell her anything that would totally give him away. He wasn't stupid. Reese would stop him from doing this any way possible. She was ruthless like that.

Max kept a safe distance from the horde of autograph-seeking students and overly-flirtatious adults. At least I didn't insult anyone. Equal attention regardless of age, appearance, or gender. AND I SMILED CONTINUOUSLY. His blue eyes kept watch on everyone and he remained expressionless. Oh, Plymouth! Hot Snot! Classic! Do these kids realize that I'm the only experienced professional in this tent? Five. YES, FIVE World Cup appearances. These egotistical novices ZERO. I WIN.

Then he caught the exchange between Colin and Annie. "Professor Bunbury. A word, please?"

Anna Banana · 07-13-2009, 03:44 AM

So pretty much, Anna had decided to just play it cool with one Mr. Colin MacKenzie. She'd sort of made up her mind that he was a little stuck on himself, so she'd hung out at the pitch for a little while before deciding to stroll over to the autograph tent. She really did want his autograph, though. Of course she wanted all their autographs, but Colin...siiigh...he was, as much as she hated to admit, her little crush. As she walked into the tent, she started thinking about how very much she'd like to hold a conversation with him without giggling or stuttering or something silly like that.

Merlin there were a lot of people in this tent, though. Anna first came upon Emma Greene, but she didn't really stop or give the woman a second look. Sure, she wanted her autograph...later, but the woman had pushed Anna in an effort to get the snitch! Psh...meanie. ...and then, she saw him! Colin was hanging out in tent chatting with...Professor Bunbury?!?! But...but...but...was she twirling her hair while talking with him? Anna's little eighteen-year-old heart sank to the ground in defeat. She knew she was just being silly, though. Colin was just...a schoolgirl crush. Not to mention the fact that he was ages older than her, too. She still wanted his autograph, though. He was one of her favorite Quidditch stars ever! She approached the two, but sort of hung back a little so as not to interrupt them. Maybe they'd be done chatting in a minute, and she could ask for that autograph.

"Yes, you are," Fyo insisted. "I'm not letting you do this." Okaiii, so maybe he was. Letting Torin do that, you know. But -- but -- but -- It was just not right! Torin needed to understand that.

"What if she finds out and deducts, like, two thousand points from Hufflepuff?" he asked, crossing his arms against his chest.

Sneakeh Cat · 07-13-2009, 03:47 AM

Reese looked like she was about to cry when Torin didn't take the paper. She looked up at him when he said it wasn't funny. "Fine, if you don't want to sign it. I'll take my paper somewhere else," she told him. She looked at Bunbury and Colin before she turned to Fyo.

"I should get your autograph," Reese said with a smile. She pushed the paper and pen in Fyo's direction and quickly looked back at Torin. What the heck were him and Fyo talking about? She highly doubted she wanted to know.

WhittyBitty · 07-13-2009, 03:50 AM

"I'll sign your paper in a bit, Reese. I promise."

He was just glad she wasn't asking questions.

"Fyo, I won't lose like 2 000 points. And you talking like this in a loud voice is doing more harm than anything." Unlike Fyo, Torin wasn't exclaiming anything potentially criminalizing.

That’s how we ended up playing here. Completely Rex’s idea, I think….”

“Oh, please, call me Colin,” MacKenzie replied, just a few seconds after Miss Redhead had called him Captain. Sure, he was captain and all, but he figured things were to the point on where she could call him Colin – only if she wanted to, of course. “And we all have Twigger Nineties, if I remember correctly. I don’t think they were working properly today, but oh well.” Telling you, the kids were loaded with sugar! “Though, my broomstick is one thing you could have a ride on with me.” He grinned. And they would fly off to a land far, far away, get married, have children together, and live happily ever after. The end.

That crazy Puffapod-hugging kid soon cut off MacKenzie’s daydreaming about him and Miss Redhead. So tempted to make the kid faint like he had done to one of the kids during the match, he simply ignored the fact that the kid had called him ‘Hot Snot’, once again getting his nickname WRONG. Surely the boy needed to be sent to St. Mungo’s straight away!

Turning back to Miss Redhead, who had just finished saying something about how the students shouldn’t be riding anywhere unless it was back to the castle (which he would back her up on one hundred percent if anyone disagreed with her), the thought of that crazy kid calling him ‘Hot Snot’ came back again. A Hogwarts professor could do something about that, right? Maybe, even, ship him off to St. Mungo’s in a matchbox? Hmm, maybe!

“So, erm, is there something wrong with that kid?” he asked her in a light tone, quickly pointing out the kid who had been shouting about how he didn’t know Miss Hopton, not getting his nickname right, saying how unimpressed he was with his hugging techniques, boasting that he could hug the Puffapods better, and obviously insulting him. “I don’t mean to seem rude, but … yeah. Just curious.”

Mmm brothers, eh? Maybe this brother of Max's wasn't married, unlike her colleague. Now that could get interesting. "Well Rex has good ideas, I think, if he brought you here."

Wink wink again. Was Anastasia going over the top today? Maybe just a bit... she hadn't seen Marcus or Ethan around any brooms though, so, what was the harm here?

"Colin, do call me Anastasia," the redhead properly introduced herself and even offered him her hand to ~~kiss~~ shake. "Twigger Nineties, though?" She wrinkled her nose slightly. "Now now, shouldn't you all be on the latest version of the Firebolt?" Or whatever was the best? Nothing but the best for the best, as she liked to say. Regardless, oh yes, Annie definitely would like a ride on his broom sometime.

"I'll have to take you up on that offer, then!" she said cheerfully, ignoring the annoying students crowding closer and talking louder and LOUDER. Obviously Colin was noticing them now too, because he did point out Plymouth Morgan.

"Oh him....." Bunbury turned slightly and resisted rolling her eyes. "He's... well he is talented at my subject, Herbology, but he's also rather... touchy-feely, if you know what I mean. He forms attachments easily." And he doesn't know when to stop hugging.

Speaking of Reese... He didn't take the paper she shoved at him "This isn't funny, Reese! Look at him and Bunbury!" He had suck a hurt look on his face by now. And he didn't care if the Professor heard or not anymore.

And there was another.... interesting.... child, that Torin Kane, who just seemed to be talking louder too. Was this an autograph tent or a shouting match?

Bunbury turned her head at the sound of her name and blinked at the Hufflepuff for a few moments, before slowly shaking her head from left to right. Who knew what he was going on about.

Perhaps Annie felt a bit guilty for flirting so unabashedly with Hottie McScotty, because now she felt certain she was overhearing words that were just trying to make her feel guilty. She smiled weakly at the Ravenclaw and slightly stepped toward Colin's side so the girl could have an autograph from him if she really wanted one.

Annnd then she was busted. Anastasia almost jumped when Max's voice popped up from behind her - ah yeah, she couldn't pretend to not hear that one.

"Professor Vindictus....." she answered him with a nod. "Uh, sure? Excuse me a moment, Colin dear," Bunbury smiled again - ugh, she should stop that, smiling gave you horrible wrinkles - and then weaved her way through the crowd to where Vindictus was standing.

"Is something wrong, Max? And why didn't you tell me you had a brother?" Annie asked quietly, starting to twirl her hair again but this time as a nervous gesture.

Aww, Torin hadn't signed her paper? Fyo was about to poke the guy in the ribs, when Torin went ahead and said he would sign the thing, in a bit. Nice enough of him, so YAY! Giving Reesekitty a smile, Fyo accepted her paper and....

Drew a kitten on it.

"There," he said happily. "That's like.... a Reesekitty."

Really! It was! A cute one, too.

"So - which professional player around here do you like best?" he said, straightening up and trying to change the topic.

Seeker_Seven · 07-13-2009, 03:56 AM

"Make way! Make way! Urgent Quidditch business!" Laden with several glasses of iced tea, punch, cookies, scones, muffins, licorice, and a small cheese platter, Tino elbowed his way back into the autograph tent in search of Drake Warren. Sure, the man had only requested iced tea. But what if he changed his mind later? Or what if his blood sugar got low? Whenever that happened to Tino, his hands shook. You couldn't give a proper autograph with shaky hands! Tino was firmly resolved.

"Here, Mr. Warren! Your tea! And some other--stuff." Tino dumped the lot on the table next to the Beater. "You must try the gouda with the pepper cracker! It's divine. Are your hands getting cramped yet? I do a great hand massage!"

Lissy Longbottom · 07-13-2009, 03:58 AM

Jack had to admit, the autograph tent was very intriguing. Even though he had been bugging Anna about her little fangirl crush allll night at practice, he was ashamed to say that even he had his little fanboy crushes on famous Quidditch stars. He followed her into the tent and was immediately greeted by complete and utter chaos. It was certainly a crowd in here!

He looked around and saw Anna paying attention only to Colin MacKenzie, who stood nearby with...Bunbury? Interesting--yet not TOO surprising, really. All the boys seemed to fancy her, why shouldn't Quidditch stars?

"Awww darn, Bunbury got to him first," Jack teased as he approached Anna. "Looks like you'll have to wait...in the meantime, you can help me figure out who I want to go to first...Ainsley or Greene," he said with a grin, glancing over at the two females. This was like, the HARDEST decision EVER.

*PhoenixRising* · 07-13-2009, 04:05 AM

Dominic probably should have taken something to drink; it would have perhaps distracted him a certain All-Star Seeker who was standing over there by herself. It didn't help anything that their captain, Colin Mackenzie, was totally being swarmed with fan girls. The sixth year convinced himself that after going over to speak with Emma, then he would have to have a little chit chat with Colin over how he does it. Seriously, that Keeper wasn't anymore good-looking or a better quidditch player than he was! Maybe he just needed a catch nickname like 'Hot Shot'. Yes, that was clearly it.

In his distractions though about how to best accommodate the fan girls that he was sure he had, in the smooth ways that Colin was able to deal with them, he completed distracted himself from Emma. Which was probably a good thing in some regards because he did not have any death wishes from that Norwood guy. Nope.

But the bad thing was that now she was attacked with first a fellow Hufflepuff, whom he knew as Melanie Lockhart, since she played in a game or two last term. And then soon after, that annoying young boy, Cameron or something, attacked her. Followed by two more Slytherins, the first he didn't know and the second he knew minimally, but had worked with her in Arithmancy.

Now he would never get to speak with her! To get her autograph or maybe even a hug! Pout. No fair!

But wait... Hadn't she given him a smile!? She noticed him!!! Emma Greene had smiled at HIM!!! And unable to help himself, the sixth year was sure his endorphins responded by creating the slightly warmed feeling on his cheeks. Stupid hormones.

Sighhh. It's now or never, Denton. How do you ever expect to go Pro if you can't even talk to a Professional? You're sixteen years old.

How was he supposed to start this off again?

Approaching the Cannons Seeker cautiously, the sixteen year old gulped as he arrived close enough to her. "Uh... Hello, Ms Emma. Greene?" Why did that come out as a question? Like he wasn't sure that was her name though he totally knew it was. Clearing his throat, he shook his head absently. "Sorry. I just wanted to say you played amazing today," And your lips look sooo enticing right now, he wanted to add, but didn't. He was a prefect after all and there were younger students here. Must set an example for them. "Seeker is a tough position though, as I should I know. I played Seeker on my house team my first term here, my fourth year." Just tell her your whole life story, why don't you, Denton? "Butt... err... yea... You did good!"

He shook his head firmly.

"Daphne Hopton's... been talking to him, hasn't she? Won't he give her her own autograph? If he won't then... well that's not very nice at all."

"Yeah, they weren't real nice. But you know," Plymouth lowered his voice to his "whisper" - but everyone knew that Plymouth's whisper failed, "they aren't all that impressive anyway. It's not like they won. Hehe. Sore losers. I feel bad for them. " Shrug.

Dooby doo. Waiting in line. Waiting waiting. Waiting on an autograph. And stuff.

"Hey you see any corndogs? I promised Daphne one."

Cela grinned. "Yeah tricks! Like I learned from watching Evolette and Willow and the Pink Ladies and Professor Bunbury of course." Cel smiled at the Herbology Professor since she was right there and all.

Celandine lowered her voice. "We can practice them during our other practices." Cel looked around and whispered to Daphne, "Hey... you remember in the hospital wing? Do you remember what Nurse Avalon said about Professor Truebridge?"

Daphne pretended to be properly scandalized by Celandine's forwardness but in the end ruined her seriously shocked face by giggling. Again. Loudly. She shimmied closer towards her best friend, their two blond heads nearly touching as she they chatted in (loud) whispers. "That's very witty!" she chirped. "An autograph in each arm by two beaters. Ha." So Celandine. Cela wasn't telling her about the tricks and Daphne pouted impatiently. Patiieeence. She didn't have it. Nope.

"Which part?" whispered Daphne dramatically, losing at the whole subtle attempt and staring pointedly at Professor BunBunz. "The part about her being taken or the part of her being with Truebridge? Because they're both really important. Avalon and Professor Truebridge. I was almost shocked out of my mind."

SHOCKED. Ha. Made a funny. Because she had just been electrocuted and--Okay, moving on.

He blushed as Bunbury turned her gaze to him and looked at him like he was insane. Yeah, he was a bit too loud there. And she was being taken outside by Max!

He couldn't believe his luck.

Then Fyo dropped the subject. He smiled. "Anyone other than Colin," he stated simply.

Anna Banana · 07-13-2009, 04:12 AM

This. Was. So. Not. Fair. Professor Bunbury had all of Colin's attention! She sighed loudly, hoping maybe her presence would be noticed, but at this point, she wasn't very hopeful. For Merlin's sake, even Cale once had a crush on Professor Bunbury! Hearing her name from someone nearby, Anna glanced over to see that Jack Fritzera had followed her inside. Oh, ugh...and he was joking with her about her crush right in front of Colin (since she had, of course, moved to stand next to him as soon as she'd walked in).

"Shut up, Fritzera," she half-snapped, poking him in the side. "He'll hear! She frowned at her captain, the followed up with a tiny smile so he'd know she wasn't seriously angry with her or somthing like that. "But...but...wait? What if they leave, and I don't end up getting an autograph? Jack, I've really always wanted his autograph, you know!"

Oh. Jack.

Celandine smiled and waved at the Gryffindor. "Hey Jack how's it going?" And then Cela had an idea. She looked at her bare arm, past Jack and....

.... at Professor Vindictus.

Hmmm. "Hey Daphne do you think Professor Vindictus would autograph my arm?"

"Is something wrong, Max? And why didn't you tell me you had a brother?" Annie asked quietly, starting to twirl her hair again but this time as a nervous gesture.

"Stop twirling your hair, Annie," Max said in a hushed voice and pulled Bunbury close to him. "And don't even mention my unfortunate relation to me. Can you please stop your blantant flirting with Colin for ten minutes and allow the students to get autographs?" He pointed at Plymouth and Daphne. "Those two have been here since the game ended in hopes of getting Colin MacKenzie's autograph. It's our job to make sure the kids get to meet these athletes and when its over, I'm sure you can find a bush or tree to hide behind so you can snog the lips off of the so-called Hot Scot." There, he said it! And he sounded like his father.

But for those bystanders who didn't know the two professors, it appeared that Max was having a lover's quarrel with Annie.

Daphne gasped loudly, getting caught up with her imagination. "Do you think so? I think they match each other really well. They'd have adorable children."

Well, they would, wouldn't they? Oh. Daphne nudged Cela's side slightly. "You know him?" Forget Daphne was in the same House as Jack Fritzera. She had spent most of her terms hiding from her fellow housemates. Maybe she needed to remedy that somehow. "Vindictus? I don't see why not. Do you want to go ask him?"

Professor Vindictus was kinda pretty too. Kinda. Speaking of Vindictus he was having some kind of unpleasant talk with Professor BunBury. Appalled, Daphne blushed in BunBunz behalf.

A bush? Snogging?

Her hazel eyes fell back and forth between the two staff members. Just what was going on? Vindictus acted like he was growing tired of BunBury's behavior. Had it happened before?

GASP. SCANDAL!

Fyo's gaze followed Torin's, and he caught the look Professor Bunbury was giving the Hufflepuff. "Oh look, she's paying you attention," he said, clearly sarcastically. "Though," he added, moving away from all the crowd so that they might talk without being heard at all. "I sorta understand how you feel."

He wanted Kizzie.

“Anastasia,” he said, simply letting her first name roll off his tongue. Such a pretty name for a pretty girl. “Well, as far as I know, the brooms we had are the fastest ones out there. However, they do seem to be coming out with faster brooms each and every day lately. So we probably do need another upgrade with our brooms.” He shrugged before speaking up again about that broom ride to that place far, far away. “Splendid! Just-”

But then Max came along, and the whole conversation about that crazy kid sort of slipped through his mind. What was he doing over by them? Obviously, MacKenzie thought, he’s here to steal my Anastasia away from me. NEVERRRRR!!

“C’mon, Maximus,” he said, making sure to say Max’s REAL first name. “Let Miss Bunbury here have a good time. That’s why we’re here right? To have a good time, after playing some good ol’ Quidditch? Why else would Rex ha-”

And Anastasia was gone. NOOOOO!

She better not be gone long, or Max will have to pay.

Anna's little eighteen-year-old heart sank to the ground in defeat. She knew she was just being silly, though. Colin was just...a schoolgirl crush. Not to mention the fact that he was ages older than her, too. She still wanted his autograph, though. He was one of her favorite Quidditch stars ever! She approached the two, but sort of hung back a little so as not to interrupt them. Maybe they'd be done chatting in a minute, and she could ask for that autograph.

For Merlin's sake, even Cale once had a crush on Professor Bunbury! Hearing her name from someone nearby, Anna glanced over to see that Jack Fritzera had followed her inside. Oh, ugh...and he was joking with her about her crush right in front of Colin (since she had, of course, moved to stand next to him as soon as she'd walked in).

"Shut up, Fritzera," she half-snapped, poking him in the side. "He'll hear! She frowned at her captain, the followed up with a tiny smile so he'd know she wasn't seriously angry with her or somthing like that. "But...but...wait? What if they leave, and I don't end up getting an autograph? Jack, I've really always wanted his autograph, you know!"

As Anastasia made her way to have this little chat with Max, Colin then noticed that a sort of line had formed. A familiar face was right in front: Miss Anna Greingoth and some other kid. Ha-ha! That other kid was the one he had scared during the first session when the boy was playing as Chaser. Oh, what fun! “Anna! And … other kid!” he said, motioning for them to come closer to him. “What brings you here?”

Ahh! Such lovely fans. They want a signed autograph from me, of course! Ahh, such patient young ones.

Sure, the man had only requested iced tea. But what if he changed his mind later? Or what if his blood sugar got low? Whenever that happened to Tino, his hands shook. You couldn't give a proper autograph with shaky hands! Tino was firmly resolved.

"Here, Mr. Warren! Your tea! And some other--stuff." Tino dumped the lot on the table next to the Beater. "You must try the gouda with the pepper cracker! It's divine. Are your hands getting cramped yet? I do a great hand massage!"

Drake looked around for his little helper dude and spotted him elbowing his way through the crowd, ladled with food. He couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh as the boy stopped neside him. he was a bit freaky in his own unique way, but it made Drake feel all that much happier knowing somenoe at least seemed to like him. "Thanks sport." he said with a grin as he took the iced tea and took a good long swig from it.

"Gouda eh? I love a good hunk of cheese." he said as he picked up the pepper cracker and gouda taking a bite. "You're right, t is good." he added after swallowing. Giving Tino a quick smile he ruffled the kids hair once more. "My hands are good for now kiddo, perhaps in a few more minutes though." he replied to him as nother student came up and he signed his mane.

He wanted Kizzie.

He ignored the sarcasm. There was no point in replying to it. "So you sorta understand how I feel, huh? Tell me how I feel then."

He didn't like sounding or being annoyed with Fyo, but him pretending he could relate was not cool. Not like there was a hotshot flirting with Kizzie!

Dooby doo. Waiting in line. Waiting waiting. Waiting on an autograph. And stuff.

"Hey you see any corndogs? I promised Daphne one."

"They're sore losers? But they're supposed to be all professional and stuff." Raiden scratched the back of his head. "I'm sure they played as well as they could, but... sore losers are no fun at all."

They weren't. They made games horrible! And denying Daphne Hopton autographs? That just wasn't acceptable. Raiden looked at the little notepad in his hands. If Daphne Hopton wanted an autograph, then he would get one for her, for sure.

"...What... corndog?" Raiden asked, staring at Plymouth Morgan. "They have those here? I didn't... notice."

Reese took her paper back and looked at the kitty that Fyo drew on it. "It's lovely," she stated. "Thanks." She took her eyes off the paper and that's when she saw....

DRAAAAAAAAKE.

"There he is!" She exclaimed.

What was Torin trying to get at?

"You feel like punching Colin in the face, and then whisking Professor Bunbury to a giant, all-to-yourselves castle where you can give her PINK! slippers -- and then get whacked repeatedly by them because, obviously, she doesn't want to be there," he said, a little coolly. "Hehe." Gotcha!

Oooh, Drake! Fyo hadn't gotten an autograph from this one, no.

"Haiii!" he said, bounding off towards the professional quidditch player without even telling Torin where he was going, and coming to a halt right in front of Drake. "Can you, like, gimme an autograph? Please? Pretty please?" And he held out his oh-so-awesome autograph!diary.
