"Ah Come on Carter. Get it next time." She yelled, after Ravenclaw had scored.

Turning back to Kita. She smiled. She noticed that her breathing had gone back to normal. Her own breathing slowed a bit as it was harder to breath in this cold air. She lauged and gave Kita a hug. "It is a tradition. Can you believe it's nearly been a year." Shaking her head in disbelief over how fast time had gone by. "At this very match up, too!" She added.

Caroline smirked back it her. "Yeah, he does." She smiled. Her eyes wondered back over to the Gryffindor Keeper and she thought about watching him play at that match that they had met after. It was hard to believe that that had been nearly a year ago, that she had met both Kita and Carter her best friend and boyfriend on the same day. Her mind went back into focus when she heard Kita cheering on both teams, She just loved her bestie and her impartal manner. She laughed. "Hey, your best friend here is wearing all red." She teased. Noticing that Ravenclaw had the quaffle near their goalpost her eyes focused back to the match.

"Go Carter!" When he block the quaffle the next time Ravenclaw attemped to score.

Melina squished herself past several students to find the loudest Ravenclaw supporter. Oh Merlin, it was Professor Bentley!!

"Hi, Professor!!" she called over the cheering Eagle crowd. "Who's winning??!!"

Well....it looked like they were a bit late but he guessed it was okay since the match was not over yet. Yea, they had been busy after all and he was glad that at least he was going to be able to see some part of the match. What his teammates were doing? Or what they were doing without him. Eh...it shouldn't be so hard to deal without him anyway. He guessed he just missed whacking bludgers and that would hardly affect the team.

Whatever...finally getting to the stands with Madam Donovan, Josh looked around at first to see if there were any good enough seats for them to occupy however his search for the seats halted for the moment when his eyes found a brunette girl in red cheerleader outfit! Huh? Was that Evelyn?

*blink-blink-blink*

Yea, it must have been her! But what was she doing with that outfit when it was freezing cold. Now, he was shocked but he knew he had to protect her from the cold, so his feet began to take him towards her until...a possibility or fact did hit him: What if she was dressed for someone else? So, he doubted, she'd want his help. Not to mention she seemed to be angry before he had left library.

Therefore, sighing sadly, he changed his way and walked to the empty seats a little bit up there and chose one which both allowed space for Madam Donovan and allowed him to have a clear sight of the Gryffindor cheerleader she-snake.

Lola was swaying with the jar of cookies, creating some sort of a cookie ritual!--a good luck charm for Kurumi Hollingberry. Was she proud of her? Lola was a fangirl all the way. Now, she was chanting gibberish things under her breath, but stopped herself as she spotted the snitch, almost dropping her sacred jar of cookies. "KURUMI! THERE IT IS! I LOVE YOU GIRLFRAAAAN, GO GET IT! GO GET IT!" She screamed, but the girl had already seen it!

WHAT WAS THAT?!

ELLIE STONE?

That girl from the ship? Oh she was a friend too! She had gotten the snitch! THE FIRST SNITCH OF THE GAME! Hooray! But what about Kurumi?!

Lola glanced her head to notice none other than Train, the magical Train who beat her up to a pulp during that first game they had. Then something clicked in her head and she gasped in horror, finally realizing that the boy she was looking at was... was... CHEATING?! Oh she had seen him and Ellie Stone on that ship before, how they were ogling their eyes at each other and it had been so obvious;

"TRAIN, HOW DARE YOU CURSE MY DIVINE HEROINE! Leave her alone! I--" She gasped, as she spotted the Seekers getting to the Snitch yet again--"I LOVE YOU KURUMI! DON'T FALL INTO TRAIN'S EEEEEEVIL MIND TRICKS." She proudly pointed to her shirt and started jumping up and down again.

Nika opened her eyes widely and gasped when she saw that the beater was knocked off. Not only was it a beater. It was the captain! She looked around in panic. Hopefully he'd be alright.

She stood up and leaned in curiously as she spotted the snitch on the field again. "Come on Kurumi, come on!" She thought in her head as she crossed two fingers at her sides.

It was SUCH and INTENSE game!!!
Still standing Seren couldn't even bring herself to tear her eyes from it for a single second.

Beater?... no no... the Captain! Oh... that wasn't much better? not that either would have been better. And Merlin! it was Master Blunt that hit him.. she knew that boy was dangerous.

Another voice, a familiar voice caught Seren's attention-- however briefly. She turned her head in flash before snapping back to the game. Both seekers were going for it again....
"Ravenclaw has the lead for now dear.... lets hope it stays that way."

But anything could happen... Miss Hollingberry was quick.... and ohhh she got it.

Poop..

"It's alright Ravenclaw....COME ON RAVENCLAW YOU CAN DO IT!!!" she cheered on. They still had the lead, the game wasn't over yet!

"Perfect seats," the librarian smiled, charming the seat Josh had found for her. Even wrapped inside her wool coat she was cold. At least her backside would keep warm placed upon the nearly cushioned surface.

"I have to say... this is MUCH better than that horrible dungeon." And what an excellent view!

Now... where was Chad?

Presley was on her feet, she couldn't sit right now. Ravenclaw was WINNING! They would win, Pres was sure of it. GO EAGLES!!!!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.

Oh no! Gryffindor caught the Snitch!! That wasn't the first thing Melina wanted to see in the match. Grrrrr....

The Ravenclaw fans were cheerin even louder, if that was humanly possible. Melina was not about to be left out of that.

She hopped up and down, pumping her fist in the air:

"CAW, CAW, RAVENCLAW!! CAW, CAW, RAVENCLAW!!! GOOOOOOOOOO EAGLES!!!!!!"

THE SNITCH!

AGAIN!

He was getting tired of that golden stupid ball fluttering its wings around. It was stupid. And he was being stupid as well. ANDKURUMIGOTTHESNITCH! OH MY GILDEROY! He smiled, widely, and breathed in relief. In relief that no one got hurt while chasing after GOLD.

His heart was racing faster and faster, because he wanted the game to be over already, the tension in the Stands was enough as it was...and...OH! The Keeper! The Gryffindor Keeper! OUCH.

This is why it was so amazing that Lola didn't call him by his real name. But he still knew that she was YELLING at him...what was she yelling at him for?! WHAT WAS SHE TALKING ABOUT?! EVIL MIND TRICKS?!

O______________o

"LOLA!" he exclaimed, standing up, and turning completely to her, "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!" he was almost glaring. Man, he glared a lot when it came to Lola Jones.

"YAY KURUMI!!!" Nika jumped up as Kurumi caught the snitch. So Gryffindor was down, but they caught a snitch and that made all the difference. Maybe this would be the start of their streak?

If she wasn't tired and cold before....she was now!

She would've brought a jacket and wore sweatpants under this skirt or something of the sort, but that would just ruin the whole effect! Evelyn hadn't stopped looking around either for that certain Gryffindor once the game started, though she was a bit distracted with some of the audience members. Like...Lola. Or their Herbology Professor...

...huh...




After awhile, she was beginning to think he wasn't going to show up, or she had chosen the wrong side of the stadium to sit and he was on the other side. That would have been a huuuuuge bummer though, and all of this was wasted. Actually, no, not entirely wasted. She did glare at a few people who looked at her, so that was nice.

But alas! She saw the familiar head of dark hair yet he wasn't...sitting where she was. He was still mad, wasn't he. Or perhaps he didn't see her? How he could not see the BRIGHT RED outfit in the sea of...blue it seemed like...was beyond her.

No, she wasn't going to give up. She WILL fix this!

Standing up, she shoved moved around the others to try and get to where Josh was. Seriously, even if he was angry and just yelled at her, at least it'd be a faster way to get out of this outfit.

...Or maybe she'd talk to him later...

*duck*

The girl hadn't seen the scary madam Donovan there until it was almost too late- NO! No, she was GOING to go sit next to him, and THAT was FINAL! Deep breath. Still though, if Donovan said she was going to report her to Lafay for being under the influence of some potion, she was out of there. "Hello Madam Donovan." she smiled, hoping to Merlin it didn't look as forced as it was. "Hi Josh."

Can we have your wool coat!?

"WWwwwoooo GOOD SAVE DUMBLE!" she cheered.

*cough cough*.. hhmmm some honey chamomile tea after the game would be good.

"COME ON CLAWS! SOAR LIKE THE MIGHTY EAGLES THAT YOU ARE!"

Quaffle back to Ravenclaw... perhaps they could extend their lead again... that would be nice. It was no wonder they won they Quidditch Cup last term, the team was amazing- though of course they had new players, and those players were proving their worth.
"Well done Claw's" Seren said at a normal volume.

It looked as if Blunt was about to deliver another devestating bloe to Gryffindor.... ....

Kita looked at Caroline with a weird expression on her face. She found it hard to believe that Caroline was telling Carter what to do... Ok, this was a Quidditch match but still. And before she knew it, she was giggling like mad. Oh, what she was going to do without her best friend, she did not know.

Kita hugged Caroline back, a smile spreading across her face. Letting go, she looked at Caroline and gasped. "It has been a year!" she whispered in amazement, "Gee Caroline! Our one year tradition! We should have got some chocolate cake or something." A smirk spread across the sixteen year old's face.

"Oh Caroline!" she said, waggling her eyebrows this time, "Talk about luuurrrvvveee!" Maybe those cookies she had for breakfast weren't such a good idea after all... Meh! It's not like it would have made a difference if she had decided to have something normal for breakfast. Like cereal. After all, there was that one time she went hyper on WATER! She never failed to surprise herself... Shaking her head, the brunette turned back to Caroline who seemed to have gone a bit... quiet. Confused, Kita raised a hand only to find that Caroline was now looking at her and laughing. She smiled. "I was impartial last year so i shall be impartial this year," she said, mock-glaring at her, "And your best friend is wearing blue as well as red."

"Woooo!" she yelled, raising her hands up and waving them around like the madwoman she was, "Come on Ravenclaw! Come on Gryffindor!"

Lola was intensely eyeing the game, looking at Kurumi, then at Ellie, then at Kurumi, then at--KURUMI GOT THE SNITCH! She was exploding in the inside! Oh how this game was killing her in the inside! Killing her softly within her! "I knew you could do it Kurumi! With FAITH, TRUST, AND COOKIE CRUMBS!" She quickly opened her cookie jar, got a handful of cookie crumbs and just sprinkled it into the air around her!

It had gotten to students' hair and attracted several birds to her place. "MAY THE FORCE OF THE COOKIES BE WITH YOU!"

She quickly saluted and focused her attention back to Train.

Why was he glaring?

Oh this man was a good actor, trying to cover it up with the "I'LL MAKE MYSELF ANGRY AND SERIOUS SO SHE DOESN'T FALL FOR MY EVIL MIND TRICKS" plan? Ohhhh. Ohhhhhh she'd seen through that well-planned plan of his. "I know, Train," she said pompously, trying not to give him the eye contact and dramatically took a step away from him, "I know everything between you and Ellie Stone on that pitch over there!" Then with an over-exaggerated motion, she quickly took a huge step towards Train and then pointed her finger to his lips. "EVERYTHING."

"--How you're obviously the ROMEO to that JULIET! Oh Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo?--HE'S TRYING TO CHEAT AND MAKE MY KURUMI FAIL THAT'S WHAT!" She shook her head and glanced at the game to see if anything happened and then went back to Train, "But, you know what happens in Romeo and Juliet, Train? Hmm?"

Dramatic pause.

"He dies. In failure."

"Watch your back, Train. YOU LEAVE KURUMI HOLLINGBERRY ALOOOOOONE!" She returned his glares, and then continued sprinkling cookie crumbs into the Quidditch Pitch. That oughta scare him.

He felt his Gryffincess coming even before he actually saw her. Yeah he was connected to her like that. As she settled down and kissed his cheek he wrapped his arms around her "Aww your rooting for the Eagles? Well then I better root for the Lions, just so that we can even things out." he grinned as he kissed her temple. He rubbed her arms with his hands and whispered "Have a bit of faith, even for little Kurumi huh? Whether the Lions win or loose its her first game."

And as if to emphasize his point, a Slytherin fan girl was going bananas on the stands. That totally had him grinning.

Refocusing on the game he just saw Ellie grab the snitch. He felt both elated at the little red head but also dissapointed for the little brunette.

Until Kurumi showed up with the golden orb on the next round. Salander started hooting and clapping. "See what'd I tell ya?" he smiled at his Gryffincess.

Prefect seats...

Umm...

Were these prefect seats? Eh...that confused Josh a bit but whatever, he smiled back at the Gryffindor Head of House as she sat down next to him. Wrapping himself in his Gryffindor robe automatically when the woman had done the same, he glanced at the players befor turning back to Madam Donovan while she spoke. ''I think anywhere else in this school is better than dungeons Madam.'' Yeah, even the broomshed.

He liked the broomshed. For the...memories.

He opened his mouth to speak again, yet closed it and turned to look at the field when he thought he caught the sight of a red figure falling down his broom. And that figure looked like....Simon!

''GAH!!! SI!'' he yelled punching the empty seat before him some. That was no good. That could be considered his fault too, on the other hand, since he might be able to protect people from bludgers if he was allowed to play. Sooo just...

*sigh*

''I guess this match is difficult for us'' he murmured before looking up at someone else's voice saying his name. And that someone else was...

Evelyn...with her cheerleader outfit and she did not ONLY said his name it was also WRITTEN ON HER!! Haaaaaaaaaaaaa! His eyes widening with utmost surprise his mouth opened and closed repeatedly like a fish as he was unable to speak.

'Hi, Rose'

He just thought he managed to say...but all he was able to do just moving his mouth and no voice came out. Was that real?

Snitch Snitch SNITCH!!!!.... the gleam of gold that streaked across the sky's was unmistakable. Seren watched in eager anticipation as both Kurumi and Ellie pursued it. It looked as if Ellie Stone was just in front of Kurumi.

Seren was on her tiptoes now!!!!!


"COME ONE RAVENCLAWW!!!!!!!"

"COME ON ELLIE!!!"

Oh Merlin!... and Ravenclaw with the quaffle.... so much was going on. She didn't want to miss a second of it.
But what in the name of Merlins stripey underwear was that girl from somewhere behind her yelling at Treyen?... Train? what train? The only the train Seren could see what the train of goals Ravenclaw were getting.

Fee stood there watching the game fascinated.Ravenclaw was playing insanely well.Wearing a burrowed Ravenclaw scarf the blonde stood there and couldnt help but grin.Hugo was saoo good,she was really proud of her boyfriend. As the girl stood there she clapped her hands and cheered as loud as she could.[size=5] "Gooooo Ravenclaw!Go,Go,Go Ravenclaw."If anyone asked her to root for Slytherin while Ravenclaw would be plaing against them she would say no.Weird enough,but rooting for her boyfriend meant more than rooting for her house."Eagels,you know you can do it!!",the Slytherin cheered and smiled to herself as she saw Hugo flying up there.All this only proved how amazing he was.

Lexi snuggled in beside Salander and just STARED at the match. It made her want to play quidditch again so very badly. Next term was her last, though... she wasn't sure if she could bring herself to play again before she left. "Oh feel free to root for Gryffindor, love. I just am partial to the Ravenclaw quidditch team these days. Still love my house though." She did feel like a fair weather friend to the Lion quidditch team sometimes... Eh. Oh well.

"Sweetie, rest assured I will congratulate Kurumi. I just... don't get it... she couldn't fly to save her life and now she is a Seeker. Whoever was teaching her must have done a fabulous job," Lexi said as she watched her little cublet zoom around the pitch rather carefree.

... And WHAT was that Slytherin girl on about!? People were all weird around here... it made no sense.

OHHHH! Madame Donovan was in the stands! EEEEEEE! Lexi cupped her hands around her mouth and SHOUTED, "Madame Donovan!" Then she started to wave her hand wildly in the air... about the time Kurumi caught the snitch!

"WAY TO GO KURUMI! THAT'S MY LITTLE LION CUB!! WWWoooOOOOoOooOoOo!" Then she cleared her throat and settled back into the nook of Sal's arm. That was over... Yeah. No more shouting for her.

Thea stood up along with half the crowd, grinning as she watched the match.
Under her breath she was chanting: 'Go go Gryffindor, go go Gryffindor!' over and over.
She clapped and cheered on the gold and red lions along with everyone else, feeling she might chant a bit louder and see if people joined in.. maybe.

Yes!.... Ellie Stone caught the golden snitch! AGAIN!
Merlin if that girl ever turned up to her class she would get a very firm hand shake! She must congratulate the girl on her brilliant performance at some point.

And Ravenclaw scored yet another 10 points! the lead was remarkable!

Seren was lost for words now... that and she had probably lost her voice. Meh it was worth it. Nothing a cup of tea couldn't cure. It was all worth it-- seeing her old house doing what they did best. Everything! Or at least they did in her eyes.

Okay. First, why was Lola sending cookie crumbs all over the Stands, eh? And sending birds their way?!

He shouldn't be surprised, it was Lola, after all.

Treyen was taken aback by her answer. What did Lola Jones know, eh? He had a confused look on his face as she started to explain--hey, what?! What did she mean by 'know everything between him and Ellie'?? Was there something that the school wasn't aware of that Lola knew? His eyes widened as she pointed to his lips, and he couldn't help but bit the bottom one. Was she talking about the kiss? How could such a thing matter to Lola in the first place?

WAIT.

"WHAT?!" CHEAT?! He was glaring, okay. He didn't like the tone she used to describe 'Juliet', who, in this case, was Ellie, right? He didn't know but he was blushing, maybe because of anger, but, yeah, no one knows. "Romeo--," he shook his head, "I'm not trying to make Kurumi fail! I don't what it is you're talking about!" crazy Slytherin, she was. His eyes wandered off to Salander, how come HE couldn't keep his Slytherins in order, eh???

He raised his eyebrow at her question. They had covered Shakespeare a while ago. He knew the ending. And the beginning. So, if Lola wanted to talk about cheating, then she probably knew that Juliet wouldn't be Ellie...but Rosalind, right? Because that was Romeo's first interest. NOT that Treyen had his eyes for anyone other than Ellie, by the way. But, yeah.

Lola. "Dead, of course. And I suppose YOU are going to make Romeo disappear from Hogwarts?" he had a smirk now, he always found it amusing whenever Lola threatened him.

He even failed to notice that Ellie had caught the snitch again.

Lola was a good distraction.

Caroline raised her eyebrows when Kita looked at her. What she could help if she got into the match. She shook her head and just laughed. She felt like the luckiest girl alive, she had the bestest best friend ever, and the best boyfrined ever as well. She laughed when Kita mentioned chocolate cake it was sort of a inside joke between them."We could always get some after the match." Maybe she could convince Carter to come. Although it wouldn't take much considering it was food. Speaking of the best boyfriend she looked up only it see the Bludger heading toward him.

Caroline's heart stopped when she seen the Bludger hit Carter. She shot up out of her seat. Watching as he went through the goalhoop.

"Nooo!"

Glancing over at Kita for moment with a look of utter terrier. She gulpped hard. "I gotta go." She couldn't breathe. She started out of the row of seats. She had to do something. She knew that she couldn't go directly down there but she could get close enough to see him and make sure he was okay.

It wasn't until she was out in the aisle that she noticed that he was getting back on his broom, pretty slowly. But he was okay. Standing here watching getting back on, she finally went back to her seat when he was safely back on his broom. Her heart was still pounding. She about died there for a minute. Looking at her best friend she didn't say a word she just sat back down and watched the game she was taking her eyes off him.

Snitch!!!!!


Melina couldn't have picked a better match for the first match she ever saw-- this was BRILLIANT!!!

She was completely caught up in the mob mentality of the Eagle fans: whooping, screaming, cheering jumping up and down like a jackrabbit.


GOOOOOOO RAVENCLAW!!!!!!!!!
