Cadence made her way into the stands. There was NO WAY she was going to miss Torin playing Quidditch. She was pumped! She was decked out in Hufflepuff attire, black and gold bandana in her hair, painted jeans, t-shirt and all. Looking around she tried to find someone she knew to sit with. "Ella!" she called, waving to her friend. "Hey, Ella!" she said finally reaching her. "I know we're rooting for opposing teams, but is it okay if I sit with you?" Then she lowered her voice and whispered, "Between you and me, as much as I want Hufflepuff to win, I want Carter to have a good game, too!"

QUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDITCH!

The sun was shining, the weather was hot and all was well in the world because a game of Quidditch was about to take place. And not just any game; a Championship game.. with his favourite Huffie at the helm.

Oliver practically bounced into the stands donning the same t-shirt as last time and his black and yellow converse.. because they were the only yellow things he owned apart from the hat Miranda gave him, and it was too warm for that today.

And he was just in time...

"WOO! ROW-DEH-HENTS!" He turned and leaned forward and bellowed through his hands at the pitch as the teams came out, and then proceeded to whistle a earsplittingly loud whistle through his fingers.

He then bounded up the steps two at a time and found a seat near some Ravenclaw chick. One of the Quidditch team, wasn't she? Meh.

OoooOOoooh.. he was hyper. O_O. Perhaps having that butterbeer before the match was a really baa-haad idea. He sat there looking at the pitch, unable to keep still, with a glint in his eyes and a mischievous smirk on his face.

Oh... dear.

Adrienne had almost just thought she wanted more people to arrive in the stands, as people started to show up. Although as she sat there watching them find seats, she sighed a little as it seemed most of them wanted Gryffindor to win. She had nothing against the Lions, and there were a few who she almost considered her friends. She just didn't want them winning the Quidditch Cup when they were so close to the Ravies in House points as well. She wanted to leave school knowing she'd helped Professor Vindictus keep at least one cup.

At least, as the professor came out onto the pitch to start the match, a couple people arrived who looked to be supporting the Badgers, and as a quite energetic boy came to a stop near her seat, she looked over at him with an eyebrow raised. "I guess you could call them that," she said conversationally at his cheer, "Although I don't think I've ever heard the word have so many syllables." And then she got a better look at him, through all the black and gold he was wearing and his hyper energy, and she grinned a little. Another semi-interloper, house-wise. "You're a Slytherin, right? I think I played against you last match." He needed to find some way to channel that hyperness, or he might explode. She hoped Huffies scored first.

Walking down to the pitch from the castle, Evelyn could see that the game has already started, but she continued at her extremely slow pace to get to the stands. She wasn't really cheering on any team at the match today, and she only came to really get out of the castle. Staying hidden in the girl's dormitory and reading between classes and finals was not healthy for her. Fresh air would do her some good.

Finally making it up in the stands, arms crossed and with a blank expression, she looked around at everyone, trying to see if she could spot someone she knew. No Josh, no Destiny, no Marilyn...but there was Marie. Smiling slightly, she shoved moved her way through the crowd until she was next to the Slytherin. "Hey Marie."

Oliver's foot was a-tappin' out some fast beat as he sat there waiting for Vindictus to get this party started. Ek.. how was he going to sit here through the entire match in this state!? He started biting his thumb to give himself something to focus on. 'Calm it, Greenwood', he told himself. Never again was he going to touch a drop of butterbeer.. because it turned him insane.

Hearing the Ravenclaw next to him speaking, he turned his head and looked at her. AH! Now he recognised her! She was the capy-tain! “Urrh.. It's a bit of an in-joke..” He said with a smirk. “It's like a term of endearment. ..and because their banner looks like it's got a rodent on it.” Like really, how could the badgers not understand that? He chuckled at her joke and nodded to her question. “Yep. I'm a snake.” He said proudly. “I played, yeah. It was a tough game.. pretty close. But the better team won in the end.” Wink, smirk. Heh. “You're the captain, right?” He looked back at the pitch and tugged at the front of the neck of his t-shirt. Maan.. he needed to get rid of some of this excess energy!

Jacob walked towards the stands. He wasnt really sure why he was here. He was still a little depressed by the outcome of their last game. But there was nothing to do about it now. Some might as well have fun, He dudnt have a favorite today so he just going to watch for the game... and the violence, cant have a Quidditch game without someone getting hurt. Jacob reached the top of the stands and looked around. there were a few people already there. He looked around hoping for a good seat.

Jacob walked up to the seats. Then found a perfect spot. He sat down quickly so no one else would take it. Jacob looked towards the field and he could see almost everything. This was a great spot...that is unless someone really tall sits right in front of him. Something which always seems to happen to him.

Marie had been sitting there by herself watching Carter when she heard her name. Looking away from the game she seen Evelyn there next to her. "Hey Evelyn," she said with a smile. "I'm glad you came out to the match." She was really happy to see her friend. She hadn't had a chance to really talk to her since everything happened and she really missed her. She wanted to give her a hug but decided against it...for now. "You got anyone in particular you're cheering for today?"

Nodding in agreement, Evelyn sat down next to the girl, although keeping enough space between herself and everyone else. She was slightly glad as well to be at the match. Quidditch always was able to cheer her up somehow, plus it totally beat being in the dark room of the dungeons.

But, sadly no. She wasn't cheering on anyone in particular today. "No, no one." she said with a shrug of her shoulders before turning to look at Marie. Raising a brow, a small smirk crept onto her lips before she spoke again. "Are you?"

Adrienne was almost finding it hard to focus on the match, even though the Huffies were doing awesome. She just was also hearing the tapping from the Slythie by her, and she started wondering if he was going to explode at some point because of all that bottled-up energy. Glancing at him again, she smiled a little as he responded to her comment about the rodent cheer. "An endearment, huh? Do they see it that way?," she asked, semi-gesturing like she was trying to encompass the Huffies playing. (since there weren't many in the stands.) "And badgers are more accurately related to weasels, not rodents." She couldn't help it, it was the Ravenclaw side of her.

Another amused look crossed her face as he responded to her comment about him being a Slythie, though. "It was a tough game, but I think you'll find a bit of disagreement on that other comment. You're just lucky you're not my brother, cause if you were I might not be as apt to let it slide." Stupid pride of the Slythies, even though she knew she had just as much for Ravenclaw. As the boy started fidgeting again, returning his gaze to the pitch, she grinned. "Yes, I would be the captain. Adrienne Mercer." And beater, but since she'd played against him she figured he knew that. "Yknow, too much bottled-up energy can actually hurt you," she said finally, returning her own attention to the match in time to see torin with his bat zoom past. "GO TORIN!," she yelled out, hoping he could hear her amongst everyone and everything else, momentarily forgetting her other conversation.

Yay, Carter scores.

Marie jumps up and shouts

"WOO HOO! GO CARTER!!"

"Umm yeah, I guess I am," she says smiling at Evelyn. It seemed kind of strange to be sitting there cheering for a Gryffindor but hey.....he was her friend and she wanted him to win.

Shaking her head and laughing a little, Evelyn turned her attention back to the game, apparently missing all the action. Slytherins and Gryffindors being nice to one another. Times really have changed then what her parents have told her about.

Uncrossing her arms, she laid them in her lap as she stared at the match, before turning back to Marie, curiosity practically killing her. "You two are close now?" Seemed like just yesterday she was hanging around Evan, yes she noticed that, and now it's Carter. Marilyn is not going to be too pleased with it, that was for sure. Evelyn would be surprised if the other Slytherin would turn her head away as if she didn't notice anything. But Marie and Carter were just friends right?

Marie was watching the match like her life depended on it. She didn't take her eyes off Carter foe even a second as he made his way towards the scoring area.
"Come on Carter you can...."
Crud, that darn Huffie blocked him.

Looking back at Evelyn she couldn't help but smile again when she asked her about Carter. "Yeah, I guess you could say we are close. He's been a great friend." She thought about all the things he had recently helped her through. "You know, he was the one that helped me look for you and Destiny when.......well you know." she said suddenly looking down at her feet. She didn't want to bring up bad memories but she did want Evelyn to know that she really did do her best to try and find her. She had been worried out of her mind when her friends were missing.

A snort escaped Oliver. “Nah..” He replied honestly. “They just don't share my awesome sense of humour. It's too subtle for them I reckon.” heh. An eyebrow cocked and he looked at the Ravenclaw as she pointed out that badgers were more closely related to weasels. Pfft.. Ravenclaws and those brains of theirs. “That's a minor detail.” He shrugged dismissively. Cos their banner did look like a child's drawing of a rat. “Are you Ravenclaws always such know it alls?” He asked looking back at her. “And I don't get why your house mascot is a bird. What's that about? Cos you lot are hardly bird-brains.” And that was a compliment from the Slytherin boy, believe it or not.

He gave her a look at her next words. She talked funny this one. “Is your brother a Slytherin?” He asked. “What, prey tell, would you do to the poor sod for his... accurate observations?” Ah.. this house pride stuff had been lost on Oliver until he made it onto the Slytherin Quidditch team; he was pretty indifferent about it until it came to Quidditch. “It's a pleasure, Adrienne. I'm Oliver.” He introduced himself.

Back to his fidgeting he went, but her comment made him look at her. He hadn't realised it was so obvious. Maan. “H-hurt you?” He swallowed. “How?” Was this more Ravenclaw brain stuff? Oh man. Why had he drunk that butterbeer knowing what he would do to him.

Torin? He looked at the pitch and screwed up his face. That was the kid that punched him! Right there with a bat in his hand. Guh!

COME ON YOU YELLOWS! He hollered loudly making sure he would be heard by all on the pitch.. and probably deafening those around him. Hehehe.

Hmm so just a friend. It wasn't like it was Evelyn's business or anything to be snooping for information. She was just bored...

She was confused for a moment, on what she was trying to talk about, before she remembered. Well, partly remembered. It seemed like there was a big chunk of her memory gone from her mind, and she couldn't remember anything about that night or, who was there. Was Marie there? Carter too?...Was Josh? "Oh. Well...that's good. I guess. You two becoming friends I mean." she said, watching Gryffindor seeker catch the snitch.

Where was Josh anyways? He wouldn't want to miss his house teams championship game now would he?

With her attention back on the game Marie felt like she was going to explode as she watched Carter. Yes, he had the quaffle again.....

And he scores again.....

She jumped out of her seat once again as she cheered him on.

"Carter, Carter!"

Oh and they got the snitch. WooHoo!

"Go Gryffindor"

Sitting back down she noticed the confused look on Evelyn's face. Maybe she really didn't remember anything about what had happened to her. Well if that was the case then Marie wasn't going to be the one to remind her of what happened. "Yeah, I think it's good too. He helps me get through the day when I'm missing Evan." she said suddenly feeling sad again. 'Stupid football training,' she thinks wishing it was over with already.

She looks up in time to see Carter.......almost fall...

NOOOO, don't let him fall. She held her breath as she wtched him.

Phew...he didn't fall. Marie started to breathe again.

Catching sight of some familiar faces, Ella smiled widely. It was the Championship game, and no one could take that feeling of happiness she was feeling away from here. She saw Jason and ran over to him and enveloped him in a soft hug, and she whispered in his ear with a chuckle, "Who're you supporting?"

It was so thoughtful of him to come over to the Gryffindor stands. Ella was just so very fond of him.

And then there was her friend Cadence coming up there. She gave her a quick hug as well and said, "Nice to see you here! Of course you can sit with me. This is going to be an exciting game!" she said, beaming. Now it was time to CHEEEER.

"GO CARTER!" Ella yelled at the top of her lungs, then hearing a Slytherin yell out the same thing. Squinting, she figured the girl to be Marie. "Hey, Marie," Ella waved with a smile, "Let's hope Carter's got this!" she said cheerfully.

"GO, GO GRYFFINDOR!!"

Ahhh. Life was very good.

Marie was sitting there with her attention totally focused on Carter and the match that she jumped when she heard someone say her name. She knew it wasn't Evelyn because she was sitting right there next to her. Looking around she seen someone waving at her. "Hey Ella," she said hoping that's who she was. Carter had talked about her but he never really said what she looked like. "Yeah, let's hope," she said with a huge smile. She knew he wouldn't be able to hear her yelling and cheering him on but that wasn't going to stop her.

"GO CARTER!"

Marie seemed to be a really great friend cheering for Carter. Well of course she was a great friend! Pfft, Evelyn's mind was messing with her today.

She watched with slight amusement as a bludger came in contact with one of the players, making whoever it was fall to the ground. Too bad it wasn't one of her 'enemies'. Unless it was! Nah, she couldn't get her hopes up too high.

Though she did clap a little bit when Gryffindor scored. Carter was playing rather well today. But, she still had this growing thing about Gryffindors winning. It bugged her. It wasn't better that Hufflepuff had a chance of winning too. Pffft, Slytherin should've been out here playing in the game.

But back to Evan. "Where is he anyways? I haven't seen him in awhile." And only half of that reason was because she hid herself in the dormitory most of the year. Taking a deep breathe, she leaned back in the stands and watched as the players landed to go to their locker rooms. Half time already! Went by fast.

Miles was bouncing up and down and drumming his hands lightly on the rail as he watched the game. He was as wound up as he could possibly have been as he watched the Huffie's and the Gryffie's go at it in the last match of the term. Decked out in his Hufflepuff colours with a splash of blue here and there he cheered on Torin and the Huffie team. "Go Tor!!!!!" He found himself looking around for Fia every once in awhile wondering where she was. He hadn't seen her since that night of his episode. He couldn't remember much of it but he knew she was mad at him for some reason. "COME ON HUFFIES!!!!"

Fia climbed her way into the stands wearing a pair of jeans while the rest of herself was nothing but yellow and black. She carried with her a skinny bag of popcorn as she munched while taking a seat in the stands. There she heard a familiar voice, one that she completely avoided since that faithful night that he made her mad and hurt her feelings. It was as simple as this, SHE was NOT going to speak to him first. There was a game going on that involved her Huffies and second, she was still upset with Miles. Her green eyes looked back and forth as she watched the players on the ground while it was halftime.

Miles kept bouncing up and down not really able to control himself as the game stopped for the half. Looking around he spotted Fia and grinned. He pushed off the rail and headed over toward her, weaving around the people. "FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!" He yelled as he wrapped his arms around her and lifted her up with a laugh. "I missed you, where have you been? Why didn't you come see me in the Hospital Wing?" He kissed her cheek with a grin and stole some popcorn from her bag with a big smile.

It was as if she was lifeless with Miles made his way over to where she was, picked herself AND HER POPCORN UP and twirled them around. Popcorn flew out of her bag and onto the ground around her...and on his shirt: that was not going to go uneaten at least.

"Miles," Fia spoke unamused at the moment. She rolled her eyes as...obviously he'd been to see the nurse for some sort of concoction to make him HYPER AS HECK. And then he finally said it, but not the way she planned.

"Oh! Did you go to the hospital wing because someone else asked you to go? Did you bite off their head too or did you trust their judgment and allow them to kindly take you see the healer?" He would be a JERK! if it was the latter part of the two.

Miles' good mood faltered but he still couldn't stop bouncing around. "No...I...don't remember." He said truthfully and messed up his hair. "I remember waking up in the hospital wing with my hands bandaged but that's it. I don't remember anything before that except talking to you about...no I don't even remember what it was. I just remember you were there"

He leaned against the rail, drumming his fingers uncontrollably on the wood. "Did you know a calming draught has the complete opposite effect on me?" he said with a grin and looked around before looking back at her. "Hey that popcorn is pretty good where'd you get it?"

"Come on Kay" Rex told her. Rex is basically for HufflePuff. He just will not root against Gryffindor. Rex has never forgotten about the way he was treated by the team captain and team. " Gi get them" Rex said to Kay.

Okay! So maybe she should have hexed the poor boy and dragged him up to the healer but she didn't and she could only be mad at herself for that. After all the thoughts began to settle in her head, the drumming of his fingers was pushing it for her and her nerves. Fia reached out and smacked her hand on his with a grin on her face, one that told of a forced smile yet there was nothing calm about it.

"I'm beginning to notice a lot of things about you and medicine," she chimed in as she kept her hand on top of his to stop the twiddling. "And I conjured up the popcorn myself." She reached in her pocket and pulled out a tiny little tablet and grinned for real this time. "There's the popcorn! I forgot dad picked these up on his way home from work. He sent them to me."
