Celandine was a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittle late for the game. Just a tad.

BUT thats because she was busy getting READY. Yes, thats right, Cela was dressed up again, this time as what muggles called a cheerleader. How cool was it that muggles had a term for what she was doing?

RIGHT THEN.

Celandine got herself down the front with a box of pom-poms and noisemakers.

"Anyone want some of these you can totally help yourselves! I charmed them to change colours to whichever team you are supporting!"

She beamed out at the game and started to holler.


"Get
back
don’t mess with us!
Ravenclaw is Mar-vel-ous!

We’ve got Bonecrusher Willow
She’ll whomp you!
Straight off your broom!
You’ll need a pillow!
To fall on to!"

Cela flicked her wand, "Risona!" And a blue and bronze ribbon spelt out:

GO RAVENCLAW!

Rhea walked up the many steps to the stands. She was dressed in blue jeans and a black top with a Slytherine scarf wrapped around her neck.

She had nothing against the Claws personally but she really didn't want them to win this year. Slowly she made her way through the crowd until she found a good seat. Reaching into her pocket she pulled out her omniculars and watched the game intently.

Varius wasn't interested in quidditch and his house wasn't even playing, so why he was in the stands he did not know and his puppeteer isn't creative enough at 2.37am to make something up. Anyway, up in the stands he noticed wee Cela making so much NOISEEEE! Maybe she was pining? He had heard about that thing. "CELA!!!" Varius shouted, walking towards the Ravenclaw girl, "Cela, how are you coping?"

Was that people on brooms, what were they doing!?

Lettie rushed up into the stands...it was bad enough being late, and evern worse that she hadn't managed to finish her homework beforehand.

"Excuse me...'scuse me...sorry...pardon me...thanks...". She had to struggle through the crowds to find a seat. No matter what the outcome would be for the match, it sure was fun to watch.
Finally, after finding a space in the large group of students with all different colors to show support for their team. "Come on Slytherin! Lets go!" She clapped her hands over her mouth and shouted over a couple of heads as she went on tiptoe to see better.
'Gosh...it's even faster to watch in person...' Leticia thought as she had to regain her balance after failing to keep herself standing. A few team members zoomed past the stands as Lettie looked out towards the game. It really was fun.

Ugh, too much roasted potatoes. Copernicus rubbed his stomach as he climbed the stands to find a seat near Cela and Tipps. "So how are we doing?" He peered toward the pitch but he was watching Cela in all her enthusiasm as well.

"Did you bring me a poofy thing to wave about, Cel?"

"C'MON SLYTHERIN, YOUR ONLY DOWN BY TEN!!!" Aaron said waving his flag and clapping. Hey then looked up at the what looked like fourth year. He couldn't see his other friends and he needed somebody to cheer with. "Isn't Quidditch amazing?" he said to her. "This is my first game ever!" He was way to excited for a pureblood. How could a pureblood never see Quidditch? Weird.

"FINE!" ooops. "I mean. I'm fine."

Celandine threw Varius some pom-poms. "Wave these around like you just don't care, V!"

"Sure did!" Celandine tossed Copernicus a couple and launched into another set of cheers.

"Go go SEEKER!
FAST AND FAR!
MARIEL MORGAN IS A QUID-DITCH STAR!

GO GO KEEPER!
SAVE THAT GOAL!
DAPHNE JONES IS WON-DER-FUL!

GO GO CHASERS!
SCORE! SCORE! SCORE!
TINO, LIZ AND JACK ARE SU-PER ‘CLAWS!

GO GO BEATERS!
SWING THOSE BATS!
IZZY AND WILLOW GIVE You HEART AT-TACKS!"

"Merlin, Cela," Anna half-fussed. She'd been mere inches away from the Ravenclaw girl when the sudden outburst of support had nearly startled her from the stands. Nevertheless, she had to hand it to the girl. The chants were quite clever. "I'll have you know I fully expect chants and cheers for me when I hit the pitch a few days from now," She laughed lightly, then took a nearby seat.

"Hey, Cope," she added, glancing around and seeing that he, too, was sitting near Cela. Of course he was. Those two were like, attached at the hip or something like that. Times like this, she really missed Cale more than ever. "Go Ravenclaw!"

Cope waved his poms in the hair feebly before leaning over to chat with Anna. "I'll write you a cheer, Anna Bella, but I'm afraid I won't be able to find you. You're already so small, I'll wonder... 'Is that a gnat or is it Anna Bella Greingoth?' And it'll be a gnat." He waved the pom in her face with a laugh.

Lettie gasped and looked to the boy next to her, "Oh yes. I've never seen a game in person before." Turning towards the field and making a funnel around her mouth with her hands she shouted, "Pick it up Slytherin! Keep the fire going!"
Lowering her hands she looked back to the boy next to her, "I'm Lettie Dubois." She introduced herself and held her hand out to shake, "Fourth year, and who might you be?"

"Oh, really? Write a poem about a flying gnat, then. 'Gnat, gnat, on a broom...'," she started, tapping her chin in thought. She'd never been too good at making up poetry on the spot. She laughed at her own silliness, then thought about what could follow that line. Broom, hmm...doom (let's hope not)...zoom (oh, yeah!) "Gnat, gnat, watch her zoom," she finished. "Oh, my...that's terrible. I better leave that up to you."

"Of Course I will, Anna!" Celandine told her with a smile. She turned her head slightly to smile tentatively at Copernicus before cheering again.


"Get
back
don’t mess with us!
Ravenclaw is Mar-vel-ous!"

"You want me to write you a poem?" Copernicus laughed delightedly. What was it with girls at Hogwarts wanting poetry, even if it was Quidditch related? He patted Gnatty-Anna's arm before darting a glance at Cela. Did she mind? Was she supposed to mind? Why would she mind?

"I'll write you the best poem ever, unless you count every cheer Cel writes. She's the artist. I'm just the grasshopper."

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


Celandine watched the game avidly, though she did keep shooting little glances at Copernicus between pom-pom waves.


"Go go SEEKER!
FAST AND FAR!
MARIEL MORGAN IS A QUIDDITCH STAR!"

"Come on Slytherin! You can do!" he shouted as the Snitch was in site!

She's a fourth year and never seen Quidditch? Woah. That's SO COOL! "Hi, Lettie. I'm Aaron. First year." he said shaking her hand. "You may nto believe this, but I ACTUALLY made the reserves for the team. And I've never flowna broom before." he added laughing. He then turned back to the field. "AAAGH, C'MON SNAKES!!! GET THE QUAFFLE!!! ARGH!!!" He then turned back to Lettie. "You've never seen Quidditch? But you're a fourth year. How?" Aaron was very confused.

"Nice to meet you, Aaron...first year." She couldn't help but give a small smile, "You made reserves? Nice job! I'm not coordinated to ride a broom that fast." Lettie tilted her head towards the field and sighed, "I'm more for sailboats actually, and swimming." Turning back to the game she made a funnel again, "Whoooo! Go Slytherin!"

Forcing her eyes to leave the game, she replied to Aaron, "I've seen it before...just not like THIS!" She waved her hands in the air to cheer on her team, "Victory Slytherin! V for Victory!" Her arms stayed up in a 'V' before continuing her discussion with Aaron again, "My uncles and aunts would record the games that they watched on a video recorder, then we would watch it at home. I'm a halfblood you see."

"Oh, cool...yeah. Thanks, Cela," Anna said, pausing in her poem-writing to answer Cela. Maybe she could practice now. Maybe she should just let it all loose like Cela was doing. Maybe it would just come naturally. Maybe, just maybe.

Go Ravenclaw! Score, score, score!
Go Ravenclaw! Get the...erm, the...YEAH!!!!"

...

...

"So, how'd I do?" Anna asked Cope, barely able to hold in her laughter at how awful she'd really done. Oh, well, at least the point had gotten across. No one could be confused as to Anna Greingoth was rooting for. Nope. "Well, a poem...a cheer. Yeah. Something like that. You and Cela can yell it out loud for me when I hit the field in a few days."

"You're just the...what?" Anna asked. Man, that Cope could come up with some things to say. He's the grasshopper. Yeah. Whatever that meant. "Ehhh, you can just call out 'GO ANNA' if you'd like..."

Celandine was about to launch into another cheer and maybe say something encouraging to Anna when the Seekers swooped low and she had to throw herself to the floor to avoid being knocked out of the stands by them.

Eeeeeeeek!

She stood up slowly and rushed to the side of the stands, staring down at...

ZOMG MARIEL GOT THE SNITCH!

AND ZOMG SHE'S FROZEN!

Celandine watched Vindictus carry her off the field with her hand over her mouth.

"I don't think you have a future in it, but you didn't do too badly," Copernicus laughed. "Just... excuse me from my endless ribbing of you for a moment so I can cheer." He popped to his feet.

"Eagles fly, eagles soar!
Come on, Claws! Time to SCORE!"

He shook his pom over his head, but he really... Quidditch wasn't as fun without Plymouth there. It just wasn't. He seated himself next to Anna again, watching Cela and the game in equal measure.

Only... the game had ended in a flourish of flying and... freezing? Cope collapsed backwards on the bench. "It is very dangerous to go to school here. Have you noticed?"

Aaron looked up at her and said, "Yeah, I love boats, too. Anything to do with the sea. It's great. Yet the school is not the place I want a lot of water." he said as a joke because of all the flooding.

He then mocked her and made a V with his hands. "YEAH SLYTHERIN!!! VICTORY!!! he laughed putting them down.

"I've never seen Quidditch, ever. I went to Primary school ina muggle neighborhood, so, NO MAGIC FOR ME!" He then looked at the game. "GAAAH!!! IT'S OVER THERE!!!" he said pointing across the field to where he thought he saw the snitch.

"Yes, same with me." Lettie said as she looked back to the field and did a double-take. 'Wait...huh?'

She went on tip-toe again and peered onto the field, "What's happened to that girl?" Lettie said, now getting a bit worried."Is she frozen? Oh goodness!"

Cayden was sitting below, dressed to impress as a ravenclaw girl was screeching in his ear. Blah Blah Blah blue raw something or other about claws. It would of sounded better if it wasnt all about ravenclaw. He was covered in green and silver paint as he turned his head to spot the girl. He turned back around to spot the ravenclaw catch the snitch. He pouted as it really sucked. Big time. He watched as it seemed that they were taking her off the field for some reason. All the pressure probably sent her into overdrive of shock.

BOOM!

The hiss firework thingy that seth had brought with him shot of another firework, obviously confused on what team it was on. Traitor. It flew into the air as it flew backwards behind him. That ravenclaw girl who had know kayla was looking like the target. Man...this was perfect. Screeching Girl + Snake fireworks= a Show. where was the popcorn. He wondered if their was any house elves going up and down with snacks. He watched as the fire works exploded around the girl and shot off into smaller fire works shaped as snakes. They flew around in the air a few moments until they dissolved into silver and green confetti. It seemed like it was falling on that screeching shouting ravenclaw, the pom pom boy and Anna. That one was meant for when the Slytherin team won the game. He hoped she wasnt afraid of snakes.

Mari sat next to Cayden, actually watching and understanding the game. This was a first, or was it a miracle? At any rate, she was at least enjoying Cela's cheers. She looked over at Cayden, laughing at the way he was dressed.

However, it was then that two things happened: Mariel got the snitch, and then...Mariel froze. Literally. Mari was confused and concerned for Tino; She had seen him go falling earlier and she wanted to know if he was alright. Well, and the frozen girl.
Mari was about to ask Cayden about the game when suddenly something went ...boom. She flinched a bit and watched from around him as a rather intricate display of fireworks went everywhere but where they were supposed to be.

She looked at him. " Did you mean for that to happen?" She asked dryly, watching him as she watched the confetti go flying in the air.

Aaron eyes widend!!! He leaned on the rail. "Woah!!!" She was frozen. YIKES!!! Aaron just stood there in shock. "What the... she... um... uhh...!" He just looked up at Lettie hoping she got the fact that he had no idea what was going on.
