The feathers were charmed owl feathers but who would know the difference? So was the beak. He had taken it from a dead owl he found several days ago and enlarged it. He had tried to make it look more eagle-like, but alas, it still resembled an owl's.

"Hello, Professor!" He said when he noticed her. Hopefully his special attire did didn't frighten her. The tea she was drinking reminded him he had forgotten to bring snacks, then again he couldn't eat with that beak on. "Who are you rooting for?" He had always sensed a Ravenclaw in her, but Professors liked everyone and everything, so it was hard to tell.

Turning her head in the direction of Eino's voice, she was a little surprised to find a... blue and bronze, feathered being. OOhhh he dressed up! Brilliant!
"Hello Eino, love the attire" she greeted him, siddling over to make a bit more room for him. She grinned at him, hadn't he heard? ... that she was a die-hard Ravenclaw supporter. Well he was certainly in for a treat then. She only hoped he wouldn't be... scared of her by the end of it.
"Ravenclaw of course," she said with a wink, "... my old house, so I'm loyal, but I do hope everyone has a good game, and that nobody gets hurt."
Mmm injuries were always going to be an issue in quidditch, especially with Blunt on the pitch.


Oohhh and they were off!!! Seren couldn't make out much, just a blur of yellow and blue...

"Come on Claws!!!" she yelled.

Glanceing to his left, Damien spotted ... a blue owl? Wait, was this guy supposed to be dressed like the mascot from Ravenclaw. Hopefully, otherwise there might be something seriously wrong with the kid ...

The announcing of the start of the match, refocused his attention, however, and he watched as the players from both teams flew out. At one point he thought he spoted Isobel and ... was that Lockhart? He was on the team, too?

Wow, Damien really was living under a rock.

"Hello Evelyn," Fina said simply, noticing the expression. "Er. Everything okay?"

"Hello Professor." she said replied, looking all gloom and such. Oh, Professor Hadley noticed? "Yeaaa..."

Yeaaa, everything was just peachy. Unless of course you were being plagued by crazy dreams! And this time, the dream was REAL. "Professor, do you think I could talk to you again sometime? It's...an emergency." Like, SERIOUS emergency.

Like...omg, she was never going to sleep again until she got answers. Oh look, game started...but that wasn't as important!

bone_baud10 07-01-2011 08:22 PM

It was a cold, windy day, perfect for a Quidditch game. Wearing her blue and bronze Ravenclaw scarf, Stella walked up to the stands. She simply loves Quidditch, even though she never even tried it, the fact that you need to sit on a broom and catch or hit balls scared her for some reason. She walked towards one of the empty seats on the last row, hoping that a giant won't sit in front of her, and that a bludger will not hit her head. She flicked her hair over her shoulder, waiting for the match to begin.

Suddenly the game began....

Syd 07-01-2011 08:22 PM

A Ravenclaw game! That Dal actually had time to go to! Woot!

He climbed up onto the stands, wrapping his Ravenclaw scarf around his neck. Even though it wasn't too cold, he still had to show some house pride and his scarf was the best way to do that. Also, there was cheering.

"Go Ravenclaw!" He shouted, looking out at the Quidditch pitch.

Mmm injuries were always going to be an issue in quidditch, especially with Blunt on the pitch.

"Thank you!" He said as he sat on the newly vacant seat. If only she knew how many owls he ran after for all those feathers, and how long it took for him to finally get the coloring charm right. Sadly, it was still a little chilly outside, and there was always a chance of rain at this time of the year, otherwise he would have covered his whole body in feathers, and worn only his underpants. Maybe some other match. "Oh, so am I!" He said when she revealed that she was supporting Ravenclaw. Like she couldn't tell. Although, he did hope someone got hurt. It wasn't Quidditch, after all, unless someone got hurt.

Then the match finally started, and Eino joined the crazy lady Professor Seren! "GET THAT QUAFFLE, HUGO!!!"

Daemon 07-01-2011 08:31 PM

Ryden was late, but only because she'd been halfway down to the pitch before she'd realised she REALLY needed to pay a trip to the bathroom, and consequently missed the beginning of the match. Grinning as she finally ascended the stairs to the stands, the brunette looked for an empty space and found one rather close to Professors Bentley and Hadley, who seemed to be enraptured in their own conversation and probably wouldn't notice her too much.

Which was good, since she was planning on staring at their Keeper as well as cheering on the team. Ryden was attracted to talent, and this guy had quite an ample amount. Plus he really wasn't that hard on the eyes with the curly hair and everything. Smiling, already in the mood for a quidditch game, she plonked down her bag and yelled out randomly. Now, what was the score?

Ringo 07-01-2011 08:32 PM

Ronnie excitedly found a seat in the stands, alone. Her Gryffindor scarf wrapped tightly around her neck. She loved Quidditch and enjoyed watching the games. "One day, I will be out there, playing on a broom for my team." she thought to herself happily. She sat down, her bright orange hair whipping around as a sudden gust of wind came. She shook her hair out of her face. "COME ON, RAVENCLAW!" she yelled as loudly as she could, to cheer them on.

Hera 07-01-2011 08:36 PM

hehe who you calling crazy and old? :P

Oh he was supporting Ravenclaw too? Seren almost snorted, but managed to hold back with a smirk instead. Really she had no idea, nope, not a clue. I mean he was only dressed up as a blue owl-eagle and was a Ravenclaw himself, but honestly he could have been supporting Hufflepuff.

Seren's eyes were glued to the pitch now, and the players swooping after the quaffle. Man Hufflepuff were good! already scored... but Ravenclaw could match them, yep, she was sure of it.

"Come on Ravenclaw!" she called out in encouragment. Oh goody!! Doyle got one back!
"Wooo Doyle!" she cheered in celebration.

How she longed to be on a broom again.

NannyMcPhee 07-01-2011 08:40 PM

Isobel had already scored twice for Hufflepuff! Safe to say the girl knew what she was doing on a broom. Damien's mind suddenly went back to the conversation he had with her about falling off her broom and breaking her arm.

Hopefully nothing like that would happen today.

Everyone was showing much enthusiasm for the team they came on to cheer. Some cheering rather obnoxious and loud while others ... chose to dress the part of the team they were cheering on.

Still. It wasn't all bad. Watching the match.

bone_baud10 07-01-2011 08:49 PM

Ravenclaw has to win.... She couldn't imagine herself saying that her house lost to those sponge headed, childish, YELLOW Hufflepuffs. "Come on Ravenclaw!!!" she cheered as loud as she can, "Show everyone what you can do," she said loudly standing up, flicking her hair out of her face.

Hera 07-01-2011 08:51 PM

"Oooohhh was that the snitch!?" said Seren--rather loudly-- in Eino's generall direction, her eyes still glued to the players zooming around the pitch.
This was all to exciting, she could feel her nerves beginning to get the better of her again.

She took a swig of her peppermint tea... yep, she would need lots of that. 1. To keep her calm, and 2. To help her retain her voice.

NannyMcPhee 07-01-2011 08:53 PM

Wait, what? Penalty? What for?

Rubbing his tembles, Damien made a mental note to ask Isobel about it later. Though he wasn't so sure what kind of mood she'd be in if Hufflepuff lost.

The loud cheering of someone wishing for Ravenclaw to win pierced Damien's ear. Of course it would only be natural for someone to cheer on their house as loud as this girl did. He repositioned his gloves and went back to watching the match.

Starbreeze 07-01-2011 09:13 PM

Eino's head was bouncing from player to player. He was trying to keep his eye on the quaffle, but also look out for the snitch, which he always missed. "RAVENCLAW RAVENCLAW!" He stood up and cheered when Ravenclaw scored a second time. "COME ON, HUGO!!! WHOOOOOOOO!!"

Just then he saw the two seekers take a sudden interest in air, wait no, it was a snitch! "I think so!" He said to Professoe Bentley! "Ellie is slightly closer to it!" They had spotted it and were going after it. "COME ON ELLIE!" He began shouting with his hands in the air and waving them like he just didn't care.

"You're right..." .. leaning ever closer to the edge of the box, Seren squinted at the blur that was Ellie Stone. One hand clutching the railing, while the other clutched her tea, she must ahve been a funny sight.

She could feel her heart beating wildly in her chest... come on Ellie, come on Ellie, she thought to herself, willing the little Claw to get to the snitch first.

And...

And...

SHE DID IT! ELLIE STONE GOT THE SNITCH! Merlins Beard that girls AMAZING, thought Seren as she jumped up and down on the spot, spilling a bit of her tea in the process-- not that she noticed.

"ELLIE STONE!!! YOU LEGEND!" she yelled at the top of her voice... cough... whoops. Immediately she drank some of her tea. Must preserve voice. It was still only the start of the game.

Syd 07-01-2011 09:23 PM

"WOOO!" Dallin shouted, pumping his fist in the air. "GO ELLIE!" She caught the snitch! 'Cause she's that awesome! "GO RAVENCLAW!" He shouted again for good measure.

Yes. He was getting into this game.

Starbreeze 07-01-2011 09:36 PM

"BOOOOOOOOOO!" Eino shouted giving two thumbs down when Hufflepuff both blocked the quaffle and then scored! What's wrong with Ravenclaw?! They were not having it!

He then turned to Professor Bentley who seemed to be struggling between all the cheering and sipping tea. "Badgers can't even fly!" He was so heated he was beginning to lose some feathers and a few were now dangling from his face. He really needed to work on that gluing charm.

In between her intense gaze on the pitch as she tried to follow those little balls that Ellie explained to her last time what they were, but she'd forgotten already, Hadley heard something behind her. Badgers can't even fly; Well that was one way to get the blood flowing.

"They can fly! And they're flying right now!" Better than her. Glare.

Back to the pitch. "Let's gooooo HUFFLEPUFF!!! RABID BADGERS!!!! Let's see you growl, you all-in-one-sound-makers!" Take that you Eagle supporters.

It was shaping up to be a VERY interesting game, more interesting than the last one. This was... nail biting! Seren looked down at her fingers briefly before returning her gaze to the game. She hoped her fingers would stay out of the firing line until the end of the game, she didn't want them chewed down to bloody stubs. Raising her tea to her lips she very nearly almost inhaled a blue feather... but saw it from the very edge of her peripheral vision and blew it away.

Couldn't that boy control his feathers?... mmm no matter, as long as he didn't try flying.

Watching as the game played out, Seren was beginning to wonder what the outcome of the match would be. Ravenclaw was at an early advantage, having had a snitch capture... but could they still hold on to that advantage and catch the next one?

Seren had crossed her fingers subconsiously. "Come on Claws!"
She almost burst out laughing when the ever-thought-provoking-Ravenclaw beside her stated that badgers couldn't fly... well clearly these ones could. But what was with all the fouls by the Hufflepuffs? Hadn't they read the rules before?... or was that more of a Ravenclaw thing to do?

Ooohh and the seekers were in pursuit!!!

bone_baud10 07-01-2011 09:53 PM

They blocked AND scored, it was absurd. How could those sponge heads score and block? But at least Ravenclaw caught the snitch. "Come on Ravenclaw!!!" she roared. Flicking her hair out off her face, "Show them how ravens fly!!!" she roared again, sitting down.

Starbreeze 07-01-2011 09:59 PM

This game was so close!! The seekers were going at it! It was impossible to tell who was the closest to the snitch at this point, it kept alternating between the two. On the other hand, Hufflepuff was doing a great job scoring and committing fouls. The Eagles really needed to step up their game or they would be just as defeathered as Eino was getting.

"COME ON, ELLIE STONE!!!" He doubted he could hear it but he shouted especially loudly when she zoomed by.

"FLY HIGH, FLY HIGH! RAVENCLAWS OWN THE SKY!!!" This was the most excited he had ever been at a Quidditch match. It was the one that would determine the winner for the year so it was important! "FLY HIGH, FLY HIGH! RAVENCLAWS OWN THE SKY!!!" He continued chanting.

Hera 07-01-2011 10:03 PM

Oohh.. Treyen had caught the snitch this time.. poor Ellie. Still it was a good effort.
"Well done Hufflepuff! Well done Treyen! ..... chin up Claws!"
Yep, she was sports-man-like... when she wanted to be.

Looking down at Eino, Seren couldn't help but smile. He was really getting into it. Not wanting to be out-cheered Seren looked back out at the players on the pitch, "CAW CAW RAVENCLAW!"... cough....

Moaning Myrtle lover 07-01-2011 10:06 PM

Silk Black shouted "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HUFFLEPUFF!" Then: "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TREYEN!" She sent Treyen some kisses. Her future boyfriend...........

PhoenixRising 07-01-2011 10:16 PM

WOOT!!! Seeeee that's what she was talking about there; rabid badgers! "Go Treyen! Show her how its done!" Fina beamed as she watched him flying around close to Ellie, of course, since they were both seeking. "Eat that snidger!" Er... Snidger? That wasn't right.

"I mean, ... go eat that snatchet!"

Nope. Still not right. What was that golden ball of light called?

"Eat that gold ball!" There we go. That would work. Tee hee.


bone_baud10 07-01-2011 10:17 PM

"SCORE!!! WE FINALLY SCORED!!!" roared Stella jumping gleefully. The only problem was, that they caught the snitch once. Stupid sponge heads. Their sponge head seeker was especially annoying. "Come on Ravenclaw," she cheered clapping her hands slowly with enthusiasm.
