There was a lot going on, she didn't exactly know what she should be watching...but seeing the two seekers tumble into the mud, Evelyn may have leaned forward just a tad too much on her broom to see who had the snitch.

EEP!

LOLA!? LOLAAAA! The Slytherin had no clue what Kurumi was holding, but Lola was holding that shiny ball of JOY in her hand. Aaron wasn't going to kill her then! She didn't have to hex their team either! Zooooooming down to the ground, she had all intentions of tackling Lola but....mud. So much mud. And now, that just sounded not cool. MEEP! Stop stop stop!

Stopping JUST above the ground near where Lola lay in a hover, Evelyn grinned and gave the girl a thumbs up instead, looking around for the other slythies as well. And of course, the Gryffies as well. HA! Take that mud. Can't touch her. "Nice one Lola." Yes, nice catch.

Everyday I'm tumbling.

NO NO NO NO NO. Her beautiful hair! Why did she even consider trying on this oh-so-fashionable do on one of the most dirtiest Quidditch games she's ever experienced?! "My rollers! MY CLIPS!" she whined, as she held a palm over her eyes to stop the possible tears--but then stopped dead in her tracks when she brought a small, little golden orb to her face. GAAAAAAAAASP. Could it be?! The Golden Snitch?! "Oh, Snitch! I'VE FOUND YOU! MY PRECIOUS!" She was sidetracked over her hair there for a minute when she recapped the last few minutes.

SLYTHERIN WON?!

THEIR FIRST WIN OF THE TEEEEEEERRRMMMM?!

She stopped her squealing as she spotted an equally muddy Kurumi beside her. Her eyes were filled with horror. What happened to her?! Why was her roller in her small, little hands?! WHY MERLIN WHY? "Kurumi?" She gasped again. No no no, that wasn't the correct way to address your master. "MY SISTER? MY FRIEND? MY MASTER?!" She's besmirched the girl with mud and it was all Lola Jones's fault. Perhaps her roller had been in her hands because she was trying to rip her hair out in anger?! She was the most horrible House Elf ever. What now? Lola Jones immediately hugged the girl for forgiveness, begging--PLEADING that she didn't deserve abandonment--"OhpleaseMastahKurumipleaaaaaseI'vegotnowheret oLIVE!" Oh sob! Oh fake sob! Her passionate lock of embracement created more mud on their Quidditch robes and of course, this obviously meant that she wasn't letting go.

"No really, you did AMAZING, daaaaarling! You can keep the curler!"

Because it obviously signified friendship.

...and servitude.

"Flobble flobble."

Then, after long minutes of holding and embracing, Lola realized that she did need to let go of this girl before she would squeeze her to death, and with much thought and love, she eloquently released her. "Wanna make sugar-free cookies tonight?!" She grinned and laughed, giving her another hug before RUNNING OFF TO HER TEAM, PRANCING LIKE THE CURLY PONY SHE WAS, UNLEASHING THE ROLLERS OFF HER HEAD, HAAAAAAAIRFLIPPING TO VICTORY.

"Evelyn! Evelyn, have you seen how shiny this thing is?!" She proceeded to do the hugging procedure as she did with Kurumi before.

What...what was that? They did lose the game? Like Slytherin won? Very well...though he could feel kinda upset about that fact, he also knew this was a quite challenging match. At least he tried to help the team with his best. Maybe...he would practise more the next time and be faster for flying stuff around, both people and Quaffles.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead while sitting on his broom, still keeping his position in front of the hoops, the Gryffindor boy rubbed his eyes for a moment or so then stared at the other people flying around and that was when his dark brown eyes spotted his girlfriend, the Slytherin Captain for this game, flying around her seeker close to the muddy ground. Well...that could only tell him to do one thing...

It was time to GET REVENGE ON THE SNAKES!

Grinning to himself, he narrowed his eyes playfully at his target and directly flew towards her! And once he was close enough and above her, in a good enough distance to reach her broom; the Gryffindor boy simply jumped off his broom right onto the she-snake hovering on hers, hugging her and tackling her right into the mud puddle.

Bwahahahahahaha!

How did that feel, Captain?

Simon wasn't sure what made him fight and compete against the chaser, after all it wasn't exactly his place and he usually played halfway fair. Regardless the girl kept the quaffle in her hold only to miss the shot. His attention turned to Kurumi and the fight for the snitch, hovering for a bit as he winced when the two seekers went through the stands and later tumbled to the ground.

It was with a heavy heart he heard that Slytherin won. Not only did it mean Gryffindor had no more games to play this season, Simon himself had no more games to play...period. Sighing he pulled his broom into position to head back towards the ground. At that moment there seemed to be a snap within him and he zoomed to the ground faster....much faster then he had intended to.

Land!

Simon might have actually kissed it had it been grass and not mud and he had already had a taste of it.

Wait...what?

Since when did he miss the ground after playing? Usually the captain would have prefered to stay up in the air for a little while longer, other then last time when he ached all over and just wanted to feel better. Nevertheless he landed with a squish on the muddy ground as he jumped off his room, standing in place more a moment as he looked around at the group already gathered on the ground as well as everything around him.

Evelyn could be a patient person at times when she wanted to be, but right now...not so much. The question was fine...

The hugging on the other hand...

"Yea, shiny." she muttered, trying to peel herself away from their team's seeker and NOT falling off of her broom at the same time into the mud waiting below. "Lola...LOLA! Let...GO!" Or she WOULD be hexing someone today!

Prying herself away and hovering a little out of Lola's reach now, Evelyn stared down at her somewhat muddy robes now. This could've been a perfect match. A perfect and CLEAN match-

OOMPH!

She felt the contact, and than a split moment of nothing, before she reached the ground. Except it didn't hurt all that much. No. It was squishy.

Stare.

Frowning, the Slytherin scoffed and blinked, taking in DEEP breathes, as she sat up a little. Did someone just run into her? How DARE THEY! Reaching up to wipe a little spot of mud off of her cheek, only to realize she probably made it worse since her hand was covered, Evelyn huffed once more, realizing that it wasn't just her hand that was covered. It was...everything. Except most of her face. Somehow, she managed to avoid that. So everyone could see in plain sight that Evelyn Flores was not a happy Slytherin at the moment.

And who dare do such a thing to her? Her boyfriend. Of course. Yeeaaa, we're staring at you in disbelief mister. YOU are in BIG trouble! Starting with this slap of mud on YOUR face!

Hmph. "That wasn't funny."

Kimalia had been watching the seekers up until she reached the goal post to finally throw the Quaffle.. Oops! It had soared over the goal post. She then heard the whistle before looking around at the ground to see both seekers covered in mud. "Oh please, let it be Lola."

Her heart almost stopped when she saw the Gryffindor seeker stand up all mud and glory to show.. a curler in his hand. Kimalia's eyes and mouth widening looked over at Lola who looked very uncomfortable in the mud but holding out.. the golden snitch. YES! They did it! "WOOOO!" She screamed, though it was silent compared to the roaring she heard from the Slytherin's at the stands. She zoomed towards them to give all her teammates a group hug. "Oh my gosh guys, we did it! We did it!"

Swimming in the mud...

Maybe that was not an experience that would always be considered a happy one yet, Evelyn being in the same scene was totally changin that for the Gryffindor boy. No doubt about that.

Lying in the mud puddle, the Gryffindor laughed loudly eyes on the she-snake as she looked like...annoyed some but...yes there was that 'but' there which he couldn't really describe. Then when the Slytherin girl sat up, Josh attempted to do the same...Yes, attempted because he couldn't really do it feeling that muddy slap at his face which made him kinda froze at the very spot.

Just a moment or so though because he really was not expecting it. Blinking at her a couple of times, slowly a smirk appeared on the boy's face. ''Not funny? Not funny? But it was fun to me!'' he said cheerfully and taking a handful of mud from the puddle, he threw it all at her hair then spread it all over it before cathing her wrist to avoid another muddy slap attack.

Simon shook his head and took a deep breath trying to shake off the melancolly mood and put on a good face of encouragement for his team. They had after all played their hearts out, every last one of them and they deserved to be congradulated or at least happy despite the loss. It had been close up into the very end, the Slytherins had just managed to win out again like last year.

Looking around again he could see at least one member of his team having a bit of fun, the seventh year managing a soft smile at his best friend. Half tempted to tease Josh, he moved a little closer to the rest including the pair of sweethearts on the ground. But with one mis-step sent him of his already muddy shoes and the wet ground, he went slipping instead of walking through the giant mud puddle.

The captain tried to gain his balance but with broom and beater bat in his hands it just wasn't working and he soon found himself half-on his knees and hitting Josh's back. "Umph..."

It felt...REALLY NICE...to have done that to Josh, but she was momentarily distracted by one of the Slytherin teammates.

Whooo was yelling? The firstie. Kimalia. Hehe. Smirking, Evelyn sat up a little more, so should could stand up out of this mud, yet while doing so, she gave the girl a two thumbs up like she had done to Lola. Really, she would've spoken something too, but...

Her mouth would've been full of mud if she'd done so. THUMBS UP though!

Evelyn hadn't seen the smirk, nor had she really acknowledged the short silence because she was looking elsewhere, BUT...at least she noticed the smirk once Josh spoke up. The smirk was alllll she needed to see.

Not good.

"I don't caaare....stooooop!" WHINE. Flinching and trying to cover her head so no more mud....*shudder*...could get into it, the hazel eyed Slytherin SCOWLED and tried to push him away. BUT ALAS! Her wrist was caught in his! EHHHHH. On the other hand...he wasn't holding her other arm. It was still free. It...was still...free.

Scooping up a BIG handful of mud, Evelyn stopped struggling with Josh to get her arm back, and instead flung the mud at hi-

...Simon.

Where did HE come from!?

She could've sworn she was throwing that mud pile at Josh! Yet it hit Simon instead. o____________O "...Sorry." That was Simon right? She couldn't really tell anymore.

Oops?

Selina soared over the skies and watched as all of her team mates seemed to touch the ground. She could not believe that the game had just ended like that. But she put on her happy face and glided down to the ground to meet all of the Slytherins and her own team mates. Once she touched ground the first person she saw was Simon. He had a look on his face that was a mixture of relief and sadness. Then it hit her like a wave of grief-- this was his last game. She would be lying if she said that she did not sorely regret the way this game had turned out, but now with the prospect of it being Simon's last memory of Quidditch her stomach dropped a million times deeper.

So she walked over to Kurumi who was in the mud and outstretched her hand to help her friend up. Consoling Kurumi would give her something to do that would not include confronting loosing Simon. Yes, she had given up her little crush on him, but she still adored him as a friend. It was the saddest thing that she could think of to date.

Kurumi felt something small in her hands and for a moment thought that perhaps her dive into the mud had earned her a reward. Merlin knew that she could use some cheering up right around now. However, as she sat up, it became obvious to her that the object in her hands was much lighter than the object she had been hoping for.

Her heart immediately sank and she was about to curl up into a ball when she felt arms wrap around her like Devil’s Snare. She wouldn’t put it past Professor Vindictus to have some of those plants around to keep people out at night – but she did have to wonder how the plant faired in the morning and afternoon when there was lots of sunlight.

However, all thoughts of the scary plant went away as soon as she heard the voice of the girl who was part flobberworm and part house elf. Kurumi really needed to go speak with Professor MacFusty to ask how this was possible. “L-L-Lola,” Kurumi half squeaked half sobbed as the older Slytherin began fussing over her. She couldn’t manage to get any more words out due to the lack of circulation, but she tried to pat the girl on the arm.

A curler? Kurumi looked down in her hands and sure enough, that is what was there. Sigh.

“M-Maybe some other time?” Kurumi responded when Lola asked about making cookies. Truth was, she really wasn’t in the mood for any baking…who knew if she would even be in such a mood by the end of the term. Not with the way things were going.

Seeing as she was already covered in mud to the point that it probably was near impossible to tell that it was her, Kurumi remained sitting on the ground, hugging her knees to her chest and biting her lower lip (which was a terrible idea considering she was covered in mud) to stop herself from crying. She felt like she had let everyone down, but what weighed heavily in her heart more was that she had let Simon down. Seeing as the seventh year had mentioned to her that he would not be pursuing Quidditch after Hogwarts. She really wanted to give him a better send off than this…

A few tears trickled down her face - but she could probably use the excuse of getting mud in her eyes - and she tried to wipe them away with her muddy robes, which resulted in her getting more mud on her face. Oh well. It was then that she saw a small hand reaching out for her and she looked up to see Selina reaching down to her.

"S-S-S-Sorry..."
