o_O "Call me wh- BEATER, HIT THAT HUFFLEPUFF NOW! NOWNOWNOW!" Ryden began, the screamed at the top of her lungs as the players zoomed to the Slytherin chasers. NUUUUU. Meh. "Yes, why- Oh. Oh well. FIST!GIRL sounds like some superwoman title. You're Koala Boy. You're a cute furry animal from Australia," she laughed and munched on the rest of her chips, eying the group of girls she'd left and grinned as they cheering right along with her.

BOOYEAH Quidditch was awesome!

"Well, if I wasn't Ravenclaw, which one would more suit me?" she asked, winking slightly. Of course, the hat DID consider her for Slytherin, but apparently she had more brain than... whatever it was that Slytherins had in access. Mean genes wasn't it, because as far as she could Gryffindors had more of those than them.

Hmm.

Iris laughed. The girl had a point. "Well... yes. I suppose watching people your own age would be much more fun." Eyeing her flag, Iris frowned. She'd left hers in her dormitory. Taking out her wand, she pulled a small branch of wood off of the bench and quickly transfigured it into a green and silver flag; complete with the names of the Team written around it. There. Much better.

... People talked about her and Aaron? That... she did not know. HEHEHE! As long as they were saying nice things about her and Aaron, Iris didn't mind that little detail. Nice gossip was good! The Head Girl looked down at Aurora, "Ah... I'm sure if you practiced, you'd get there." Ahhhh, what was she saying? She was terrified of flying! "OOOH!!! LOOK! Aaron's got the Quaffle!!" Iris jumped up, cheering her boyfriend (and the rest of his team) on; waving the newly-conjured up flag around madly.

"Just be sure to keep out of the bat's reach... I don't really look when I swing." She said making space for her prefect and Head girl.

...

and the Puff caught the second snitch...

Hecate glared at Marie... She just had to jinx it...

Well... this was going to be a good game.

And she started screaming again at the beater. "Ryden! YOU ENJOY VIOLENCE, DON'T YOU!" he said in a loud voice as people around him starting cheering.

He shook his head. "I am reconsidering, maybe I should start calling Violence Girl!" he grinned, munching on his chips before trying to see where were the seekers at.

"Ahh .. good point." he nodded, before joining the crowd once again to cheer on.

Aurora eyed the girls transfiguration skills then had a thought "I have something to ask you later. Remind me after the match." Then she glance back to the pitch as Iris jumped up.

SLYTHERIN HAD THE QUAFFLE!!!!! Aurora jumped from her seat, waving her flag manically and squealing like a madman. She took out her wand, sure, she couldn't do spell work as nifty as Iris but she could shoot green and silver sparks if she wanted.

Crap. Treyen actually got that one. She knew it was coming, it was Matty's turn to tease her now.

That's it, that's all he had to say to her? Wow, she needed to teach him how to tease a little better than that. "Eh, we let him have that one. Didn't want the prefect to think he was a failure." Of course she wasn't going to admit right now that she actually thought Treyen was pretty good. That would defeat the purpose of teasing Matty here.

Looking around quickly to see if she could find Destiny anywhere Marie didn't miss the glare she got from Lafay.

What?

She wasn't doing anything wrong. Why was her head of house glaring at her like that?

Iris looked at Professor Lafay, completely calmly. "Sure thing, Professor." Should she be worried that she wasn't concerned in the slightest at what her Head of House just said? ... Iris had a feeling that she should be. Sitting down next to her, Iris begun waving her flag around. It was far less dangerous than the beaters bat.


Iris frowned at Aurora. "Oh... okay." Instead of pressing on the subject, Iris quickly found herself watching the pitch intensely. YEEES!!! AARON SCOOOORED!!!

Eyeing the girl's wand, she had a feeling what she'd use it for. She'd stop her only if she went to make sparks though... mainly because Iris wasn't sure if it was allowed or not. Distractions and dangers to the players and such...

Oooh. The snitch!!! Iris followed it and watched as Lola and Treyen caught sight of it too. Ahhh!!! Treyen was going to get it, wasn't he? Oh no!

Once again, Koala Boy managed to get a laugh out of her. Grinning widely at the taller boy, she nodded. What? She wouldn't lie. "IT'S A GREAT WAY TO GET RID OF EXCESS ENERGY," she yelled back, then punched the air as Slytherin scored again. WHOOO "GOOOO SLYTHERIIN!!"

She turned to look at him, an amused smile dancing on her lips as the quaffle went back to Hufflepuff. "Much less catchy, Koala Boy," she winked, then roared once more as the keeper blocked it. AWESOME KEEP-

"SNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCCCCCCCCHHHHH!!! CATCH IT CATCH IT CATCH IT! KOALA BOY, MAKE HIM CATCH IT!" she jumped up and down, flailing madly at the tiny little gold ball zooming around the scene. She repeated poked Koala Boy on the shoulder, trying to grab his attention even though it was already grabbed.

SNIIITCH.

NO.

Sophia stopped dancing when she turned around at the mention of the snitch. She watched intently as Slytherin and Hufflepuff went at it again.

AND SLYTHERIN MISSED IT.

"COME ON YOU GUYS!" she yelled, bouncing up and down.

"YAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!" Aurora yelled, pointing her wand in the air. Oh, it was meant to be sparks, but she supposed green and silver ribbons would do. She tied her hair into bunches with them and put her wand away. If excitement could change sparks to ribbons then it was probably wise to put it away in case anything bad happened.

"SNITCH! SNITCH! SNI- Oh" she let out a deep breath. Nevermind, they could still win!

Oh her throat was most probably going to lose it's voice - the way she screaming. It wouldn't surprise Orlando, if the players told him they could hear Ryden.

He grinned hearing her. " Fine. So until you keep calling me Koala boy, I have to call you Fist Girl, but I like your name - so quit the habit of calling me Koala soon pleasee!. " he nodded, watching as Slytherin seeker zoomed around.

NUUUUUUU THEY LOST THE SNITCH. DRAT! Ugh.

Koala Boy was talking. "You like my name?" she said, her voice much softer than it had been a second ago. No one had ever told her they liked her name. It was an uncommon, boyish name that she'd never really seen the point of. She'd have gone with her second name if it was any better but the horrid thing was WAY too girly so she kinda kept with Ryden.

Who knows what Mother had been thinking to herself when naming her Ryden.

"Um... I kind of like Fist Girl, Koala Boy. But, for the record, Orlando's a nice name," she added, still with the same soft voice, then with a quick glance at the Quidditch pitch lost all thoughts of anything else but the quaffle. "WHOOOOOO SLYTHERIN SCOOOOORRRED!" she exclaimed and jumped again, cheering hard as the Hufflepuff keeper went to continue the game.

But Hufflepuff was leading in snitch captures. SIGH. And Koala Boy liked her name. Orlando liked the name Ryden. RYDEN. Get a grip.

"Oh really? Well wasn't that nice of your house." *It was funny that he didn't have to do much teasing, Hufflepuff catching the next snitch said it all for him.*

"Come on Jones! Get that snitch!" Hecate screamed as she slammed her bat on the seat between her legs, causing the dent that she'd made the previous term to become even bigger.

Iris watched Aurora as she shot her wand into the air. She didn't even get the chance to stop her before they were being confetti'd by ... ribbons? Surely that wasn't right. Laughing as the Firstie was wise enough to put her wand away, the Head Girl turned back to the match. Ahh... they didn't get it. Damn.

On the plus side though, they got another goal! Woo!

Jumping up as Lola and Treyen chased after the snitch once more. "COME ON, LOLA!!! YOU CAN DO IIIT!!!"

"Don't laugh at me! Maybe ribbons were what I was going for..." She couldn't help laughing at herself a little. "Need something to keep your hair back?" Aurora held out some spare ribbons to the girl. "Anyway, you shouldn't laugh at failed spells, you're the head girl." and it was almost exactly relevant to the question she had for Iris later.

"YEAAHHH!!" She waved her flag manically and screamed with excitement as they scored again. "GO SLYTHERIN!! SNAKES CAN WIN ANYTHING!"

"Yeah but were they really?" She asked, smirking. Shaking her head, Iris declined the offer. "No, no. I like keeping it down. Thanks any way, though." Iris frowned, shaking off the comment. "When your boyfriend is the definition of "terrible charm-caster" and your best guy friend is the nut-case that gets himself transfigured into a small green bird, you kind of learn to laugh of the amusing failed charmwork..." Yup. TRUTH. If it was a terrible failure and someone got hurt... then she really wouldn't laugh. No... then she'd be the first one to help.

Iris grinned and cheered, also waving her flag around. She was half-tempted to charm it to produce glittery sparkles when waved... but that would be showing off. Hehehe. "GO SLYTHERIIIINN!!!!!"

"Could have been." she said. "Anyway, you should try and be more suppor-"

What... what was happening?

"NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Iris rolled her eyes at the girl. Was she REALLY trying to give Iris life lessons? Now was not the time for that!

Eyes firmly fixed on the Chasers, Iris had momentarily stopped waving her flag about. "... Nooo... no, NO, NOOO!!! LOLA, YOU BETTER HAVE BEEN THE ONE TO CATCH THAT SNITCH!!!!"

Aurora laughed at Iris rolling her eyes. She wouldn't usually be telling people to be supportive but Aurora really wanted her to agree to help her.

"I can't see, I can't see who caught it!" Aurora glared towards the two seekers.

Oh.

She was surprised that he liked her name. Well. Oh. Well.

Oh.

So much cheering around him and he still managed to say something that made the atmosphere around them heavy. And she said she liked his name. Orlando felt the familiar jump in his stomach yet again. He ignored it. Not getting punched again, nope. "Okay then, Fist Girl, it is" he smiled, warmly.

And she was shouting again. "FIST GIRL, YOU ARE GONNA LOSE YOUR VOICE IF YOU KEEP SCREAMING LIKE THAT!"

Sammy had been late to the game. And she wasn't happy with what she saw. HUFFLEPUFF HADN'T SCORED! Well, they'd caught the snitch twice but so gad Slytherin. Obviously it was time for Sammy to do some yelling. Deep breath aaannnndddd "COME ON HUFFLEPUFF! PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER MEN! ... AND WOMEN!" she yelled throwing her fists in the air. What she hadn't noticed that she looked like a bumble bee. Black and yellow beanie, black and yellow scarf, black and yellow jumper and black and yellow gloves.

Oh it was such a thrilling and gripping game. Slytherin were playing really well, but Hufflepuff weren't doing too badly either, they just got a bit unlucky in that Evelyn Flores made a good keeper.

Still the only thing that could amke it or break it... was the snitch.

Seren wanted on in anticipation, leaning forward instinctively, her hands gripping the edge of the stands to keep herself from falling out.

She still didn't know which team she was supporting, but considering Slytherin were dominating the scoreboard it would be nice to see Hufflepuff clinche the win.

SLYTHERIN WAS WINNING SLYTHERIN WAS WINNING SLYTHERIN WAS WINNING!!! WHOOHOOOO!!!!!!!

Despite being a usually calm and reserved girl, Samira could barely contain her excitement. "GO SNAKES, GO SNAKES, GO SNAKES!!" She had the urge to stand on the stands and scream, "COME ON, YOU CAN DO IT! SQUASH EM!"

Of course Slytherin would win. They couldn't lose.

Ryden grinned. Fist Girl. She'd include that in the next letter to Bridget, whenever the lazy twin would get off her butt and write her back. It had been ages.

OH OH OH "CAATTCH THAT SNITCH CATCH IT COME ON CATCH IT CATCH CATCH CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATCH IT SLYTHERIN!!!!" Ryden jumped, yelled, punched the air, waved her hands and did everything humanly possible so that the Slytherin seeker - a girl roughly her age, by the looks of it - would catch the snitch and end this game.

KOALA BOY. Saying she was going to lose her voice. "THIS IS A GOOD ENOUGH CAUSE FOR IT, don'cha think?!" she yelled, then whooed and screamed as she, along with the rest of the stadium, followed the two seekers as they raced along the pitch in pursuit of the snitch.

THAT GIRL HAD TO CATCH THIS. Or Ryden would punch her. Hehe. Wasn't she Fist Girl?
