A large white tent has been erected on the vast patch of green grass located between Hogwarts Castle and the Quidditch Stadium. As you approach the tent, you can hear music playing on the WWN and you decide to go in. Inside the tent, there is a large table containing a Snitch-shaped cake, platters of sandwiches, bowls of chips (crisps), and pitchers of ice cold pumpkin juice and lemonade.
A large banner is seen hanging on one side of the tent, which is decked out in the colors of green and silver.
Come on in and celebrate the conclusion of the Quidditch season!
As she took a second bite out of her sandwich, Sierra looked at the boy with one raised eyebrow. He wanted to eat five sandwiches?! That wasn't a growing boy--that was a growing mountain troll! "Erm, do you want to eat five sandwiches?" she asked. Or was just wondering what would happen if so? She shrugged. "I guess I wouldn't mind then either. I mean, you look..." She paused, grew slightly wide-eyed, then looked down at her sandwich. "...pretty fit for a...how old are you now?" He didn't look like he needed to stay away from five sandwiches.
"Oh," she said, when he admitted to not playing Quidditch. "You should." I mean, you eat six hundred sandwiches a day! She grew quiet as she ate a little more of her sandwich and finished the punch. She tossed her plate and cup into the bin and turned back to the boy. "Well, Kennedy, I'm Sierra," she said. She looked down at his hand. Hmm... He seemed harmless. She reached out and enclosed her tiny hand around his and gave it a shake.
He could eat five sandwiches, but he wasn't about to do that. He was only curious what her reaction would be and since she didn't mind, then there was no use in getting stuffed. Kennedy paused mid-bite of his second sandwich when she began to do...THAT. He bit into the sandwich and looked down at his plate, trying to hide his red cheeks. He wasn't used to being complimented on his figure. He swallowed and drank some pumpkin juice before answering. "Er, thanks. I'm fifteen," he said.
"I would," he said. "How is it possible to play Quidditch on you own?" he asked, tilting his head to the side. If the game consisted of seven players, how could one play all those positions. He figured the only role that could be played by oneself is seeker. Why was she looking at his hand? It was clean after all. Maybe he should have brought some Purell? But, it wasn't needed after all. He shook her hand and retrieved his cup of pumpkin juice. "Nice to meet you, Sierra," he grinned.
Harlow was peering at the Huffies having a shouting match for no reason when she spotted dots of green in the crowd.
She darted over and stopped short when she saw it was Sierra. She stared up at the older girl and thought about cutting tail and running. Any time she had run into Sierra the girl was terrorizing the neighborhood.
Harlow sidled closer to Kennedy. "Hey," she said making sure Kennedy was between her and Sierra.

When Sierra finally glanced up from her sandwich, she happened to noticed that Kennedy was now glancing down at his sandwich. Her eyebrows narrowed inward and she tilted her head just a little to try and see what he was doing. It didn't look like he was simply eating. "Are you blushing?" she asked. Yes, she was bold enough to ask that. Although, she couldn't imagine what he'd be blushing for. Maybe it was... "Oh, I..." It was her comment on his figure, wasn't it? "I didn't mean it like that. I mean, not that your figure isn't nice, but I didn't mean..."
"...nevermind," she said, and just because she didn't know what else to do, she turned around and snatched a brownie up off the table. It was a good thing there was a food table nearby. It was a good distraction for moments like, ...well, that one. Then he was asking about playing Quidditch on your own, which confused Sierra a little. How had the topic changed to that? Oh, ...right. "Well, some people practice in their own back yard with their brothers and sisters," she explained. "I've never done it, but...I don't know. It was just a question." She shrugged. Maybe it didn't make any sense. She didn't know.
"Fifteen, ...right. Well, I'll be fifteen my next birthday," she said, happy for another change of topic.

Kennedy looked up and blinked several times. Did she just ask that? Couldn't she have ignored it like most people did. "I uh, what?" he said, fumbling with his cup. He set it down before he dropped it. He didn't do well when he was nervous, and people noticing him blush --especially pointing it out-- made him extra nervous. "No...It's just, um...warm in here," he said, tugging at his shirt collar. Then she continued talking. Without thinking, he picked up his cup and took a large sip.
Yeah, his mouth was too busy to talk. He was relieved when she skipped over to his topic. Phew. "I don't have siblings," he said, setting the cup down again. Was she changing the topic? Yes. Thank goodness. "That's great..." he said, but stopped when Harlow approached them. Woohoo for interruptions!

"Hi, Harlow," he smiled. For a minute there Kennedy was sure the young snake was hiding from Sierra. Maybe she pointed out her blushing too? He looked from one girl to the other. Or maybe they didn't know each other? "Sierra this is Harlow, Harlow this is Sierra," he introduced both of them.

Erm...did she say something she shouldn't have? Did she have crumbs of brownie all over her shirt? She blinked in response to Kennedy's blinking. "Is something wrong?" she asked, looking down at her shirt. No. There were no brownie crumbs there. She looked back up at the boy standing across from her. It was..warm in here? "Yeah, it is getting sort of hot in here," she agreed, especially since she'd been out on the pitch playing the game.
"I have one...and a half," she said. It was sort of weird referring to Alex as her half-sibling, but the truth was the truth. "My sister is older with a family of her own, and my brother goes to school here. You may know him--a Hufflepuff named Alex?" Or maybe he didn't. Alex didn't really get out much. She may have said something else, but a tiny movement just behind Kennedy caught her eye.

Oh, and there was that little episode with Tori Bunbury at the beginning of the school year. Harlow had been there for that, too. "We've run into one another a time or two," she added.

Harlow smiled up at Kennedy and held onto his leg for protection.
One could never be too cautious around Sierra. "Hi Kennedy." she told him with a slight not. She giggled once he introduced them to each other. "Oh I know Sierra already." Harlow told. Knew her better than she really wanted to know. Spitting in someone'd hand was way too much information for Harlow.

Harlow nodded, "Yeah I played chaser." she announced happily. And some for someone smaller than a 8 year old that was a feat. "A time or two." she echoed. She could only remember the one time officially meeting Sierra.
She looked at the older Slytherin with wide eyes. She was actually being nice to her. Her hands flew up to her hair to make sure she hadn't spit anything in there while she was talking. "I'm fine. Just looking forward to going home is all." Yep, she wanted to be back in her own room. With a bed made for normal sized people and not the giants that Hogwarts thinks their students ought to be. "How are you?" That was only nice that she return the pleasantries.

He felt gooood.
Aaron gave Alyssa the thumbs up, this was good right? For a second he thought he'd managed to do another thing wrong as he saw her cry. And laugh? He shook his head, he really needed to figure that stuff out some time soon. 'I'll get down in JUUUUUST a second,' Aaron said with a grin on his face. They were as far from winning the House Cup as Aaron was from being a genius, and he was probably going to get in trouble for climbing up on the table already, so this could hardly make it worse.
He glanced around the tent, it really would've looked better with Hufflepuff decorations.. 'I know you lot won and all, but Hufflepuff is still the AWESOMEST HOUSE EVER. EVER.' He called out, it was true. To him, at least.. 'Just putting that out there. Now, by all means, carry on!'
With that he jumped off the table, making a weird stumble and falling over onto his face. Nice touch. He climbed up, rubbing his face of before hugging Alyssa.
Alyssa laughed, and quickly helped him up when he fell down on his and hugged him back. "You are one big doofus, but I do really love you. Are you okay. You didn't hurt yourself did you. Thank you for doing that although I really didn't expect you to do it. As for the part about Hufflepuff being the most AWESOMEST house ever, I have to agree with you on that. I thought the sorting hat had made a mistake when they put me in that house. But now I know that it had it's reasons. I've found the best friends I could ever find here...and now I have you too. If your face okay, does it still hurt? Come let me kiss it better."Alyssa smiled at him before looking around to make sure that no one was looking at him and quickly kissed him on the lips before anyone noticed.

Oh, he noticed as much, that's why he didn't go close to his future colleague for fear of getting glitter on himself. One time was enough.
Treyen chuckled. "I was merely informing you. It suits you." So, no, he was going to let Victoria keep the glitter.
Tori blushed a bit at Treyen's compliment. "Aww thanks. So were you though." Shame Slytherin's chasers were just a taaaaad faster than him. Hehh.
Oh, the glitter looked good on her? "If you say sooooo," Tori teased in a doubting voice, noticing that Treyen was sort of talking to her BFF now. "Oh, this is Taryn, by the way," she added. "My BFF!!"
She noticed Treyen's girlfriend come in then sooo Tori kind of just.... scooted away from them a bit and gobbled down some more food.

Kennedy smiled down at Harlow. She really seemed afraid of Sierra, but why? Sierra wasn't scary looking or anything. Eh, if Harlow felt better holding onto his leg then she could go for it.
He should have known they knew each other since they did play in the same team. "Right," he nodded. "How come you didn't play today?" he asked Harlow. Maybe she was busy with finals too?
Miss Puff prefect wasn't as awkward as her Claw captain friend was, and couldn't figure out just why the girl was much more anxious than she had been in the stands. Treyen was fine, or at least was playing the 'fine' role when they last saw them, so Arya was just a bit confused. She didn't say anything though, she scanned the crowd of green until she spotted Treyen.
And he looked even better than he had on the pitch.
"We should say hi before we get food." Arya lopped her arm through Ellie's and gently tugged the girl over to Treyen, smiling at her co-prefect. "You played good, Treyen." Right up until he ran into the other team. She looked him over for injuries, and only acknowledged the snakes surrounding them after she was somewhat satisfied with his persons. She smiled at them all, "Congrats on the win guys."

And he smiled again. "So do I."Wink. He didn't know she was close to Victoria, for whatever reason he supposed she was a close friend of Sierra. Well, weren't they all friends and teammates anyway? "I'm afraid I don't know your name, though." And the Slytherin Keeper failed to mention it while she spoke.
Text Cut: Ellie and Arya
It was safe to say that he hadn't noticed any more people entering the tent since he wasn't looking at the entrance, but the voice that spoke his name was one he recognized in an instant, he didn't even have to turn around to see who it was, but he still did...and it was a good thing he turned to look at his Co-Prefect..or he'd failed to see who was standing next to her.
"Thanks Arya." He'd blocked a few shots and, unlike Victoria, didn't go through the hoops holding a Quaffle, which was good, right?
His smile did falter a little when he took in Ellie's face and went to stand next to her, "You okay?" he asked, as he placed an arm around her shoulders and kissed her forehead. By the way, "My jacket looks good on you."

She noticed Treyen's girlfriend come in then sooo Tori kind of just.... scooted away from them a bit and gobbled down some more food.
"Okay..." Apparently, they were going to say hi. And eat. Ellie...didn't much feel like eating. She felt a bit sick, to be honest.
Her eyes were glued to Treyen, moving up and down his body, as if she could see a bruise or bump or something through his clothes. It seemed Arya had the same idea, and Ellie smiled as the Prefect did a much more thorough investigating job than herself. Which, in her defense, was because Treyen hadn't exactly wasted much time in putting his arm around her, and limiting her mobility.
But she couldn't care less. He was standing and very much acting like himself, rather than someone who needed Healer assistance. He was okay. And therefore, so was Ellie. "Yeah," she smiled at him and dug her head into his shoulder for a moment.
His comment/compliment/whatever made her blush. She didn't say anything, but she disagreed. She looked terrible in yellow. Treyen pulled it off much better.
She turned her attention now to the snakes. One of whom seemed to be inching away? Why exactly? "Tori." You. Don't leave. "Congratulations. You played really well." Not as well as Treyen, though, in her opinion, but she's been known to be biased.

It was only when Harlow spoke for a second time, that Sierra noticed the girl was still clinging to Kennedy's leg. She tilted sideways, trying to get a better look at Harlow, but didn't exactly see anything that would justify the clinging. "I take it you and Kennedy are pretty tight friends?" she asked. In other words, why are you clinging to his leg?
...but the conversation was moving on now, so for the time being, Sierra gave up on trying to figure out the motives behind Harlow's actions. "Yeah, I'm just happy finals are over for another year. That Arithmancy exam liked to have killed me," she admitted. Come on! A person for all nine numbers of every core!? It was brutal! She shrugged. "I'm doing alright. Even better now that we're a triple crown winner."

Speaking of blinking, Sierra did just that when Kennedy told her that he forgot to blink. "You...forgot to...blink?" she asked. She wasn't aware that was something you had to remember to do. Laughing lightly, she added, "Well, it's good thing you made it for it then." She had a feeling something else had happened, but she wouldn't ask him about it just yet. She'd already caused him to blush at least once during this conversation.
She shrugged when he admitted that he hadn't met Alex. "Its okay. Even I haven't seen him but once this school year," she said. "He lives with our sister, and I live with my dad and his fiancee. So at my house, it's really only me." Sierra really did have a confusing family life. "She your...girlfriend?" she asked, nodding once at Harlow, who was still clinging onto his leg.

Josh and Carter were both being silly little lion cubs, NOT wanting to come to the celebration party but Cassie had managed to convince them to come. It wasn't easy though...silly boys and their hurt egos. In any case, she couldn't not attend a party and she most certainly could not attend said party alone.
That is why the brunette walked in with both Josh and Carter on each arm. They were such lovely accessories, but more importantly they were good friends of her..and well after tonight she would be Carter's slave for a week. Sigh..
She still couldn't believe HufflePuff had lost..oh well there was always next year..even though she wouldn't be at Hogwarts to enjoy it.
Anyways..the tent looked amazing, she was ready to boogy.
"So you boys ready to dance?" She asked grinning at them alternately. How lucky was she right noww?

He should have known they knew each other since they did play in the same team. "Right," he nodded. "How come you didn't play today?" he asked Harlow. Maybe she was busy with finals too?
Harlow grinned up at Kennedy and clung to his legs. "Lola said she didn't want tiny people playing in case we got really hurt." She wanted to pout about that, but she didn't want to seem like a baby. Plus she wanted on the team next year and pouting wasn't the way to do that. "But it was a great game and I had a banner and everything." she nodded. It was too big for her to hold but it filled out the stands nicely.

Speaking of blinking, Sierra did just that when Kennedy told her that he forgot to blink. "You...forgot to...blink?" she asked. She wasn't aware that was something you had to remember to do. Laughing lightly, she added, "Well, it's good thing you made it for it then." She had a feeling something else had happened, but she wouldn't ask him about it just yet. She'd already caused him to blush at least once during this conversation.
She shrugged when he admitted that he hadn't met Alex. "Its okay. Even I haven't seen him but once this school year," she said. "He lives with our sister, and I live with my dad and his fiancee. So at my house, it's really only me." Sierra really did have a confusing family life. "She your...girlfriend?" she asked, nodding once at Harlow, who was still clinging onto his leg.
Harlow nodded, "Yep. I taught him how to dance and everything." she admitted. She thought that was a pretty big feat. And it had been a lot of fun. "He's really shy sometimes but I think he's loads better than he was when school first started." At least he wasn't blushing every time someone talked to him. "Im his bodyguard." And that's why I'm clinging to him like he is the last quill on earth. She noticed Sierra looking at her all weird for clinging to Kennedy like she was.
She smiled, "It is pretty neat that we won everything this year. I got a lot of house points myself." she puffed out her chest proudly about her house points. "I didn't do so well on Arthimancy its my worst subject." Numbers just weren't her thing. Words, colors, flowers she got. Core numbers and all that jazz went in one ear and tumbled out of the other in her world. "But MoMo did great in the student gardens. He's so big now I'm going to show Professor Bentley before the summertime. He's too big for me to carry back home so I want him to stay in the gardens." she rambled like little kids did when they were excited about something.

That is why the brunette walked in with both Josh and Carter on each arm. They were such lovely accessories, but more importantly they were good friends of her..and well after tonight she would be Carter's slave for a week. Sigh..
She still couldn't believe HufflePuff had lost..oh well there was always next year..even though she wouldn't be at Hogwarts to enjoy it.
Anyways..the tent looked amazing, she was ready to boogy.
"So you boys ready to dance?" She asked grinning at them alternately. How lucky was she right noww?
Carter did not want to be here. He did not want to be here at all. But... leave it to Cassie and those puppy dog eyes of hers to make him come. That Hufflepuff could get away with anything.
And so here he was... linking arms with Cassie. And on the other side of Cassie stood Josh doing the same thing.
"Well... you didn't just drag us down here to stand around and look pretty, did you?" he replied with a smirk.
He was fine with dancing. As long as he did get sample one of everything from the food table, of course.
Besides. He was about to be in charge of Cassie soon. He might as well let her get her fill of fun out of the way.

'[i]I hope she shakes hands now,[/b]'Alyssa thought to herself.
Yes, she knew how to take a picture.
Resisting the urge to sigh as she was instructed on how to do so, Evelyn put up a smile and waited for the younger girl to take her pictures. Good. Now she could go back to glaring being neutral. Neutral because the girl was being NICE. "Sure. One would be nice." she nodded, smiling a little again at the congratulations.
Hand shaking?
Looking at the hand, Evelyn hesitated momentarily before shaking the girl's hand and letting go. There. All was good.
Speaking of blinking, Sierra did just that when Kennedy told her that he forgot to blink. "You...forgot to...blink?" she asked. She wasn't aware that was something you had to remember to do.

So at my house, it's really only me." Sierra really did have a confusing family life. "She your...girlfriend?" she asked, nodding once at Harlow, who was still clinging onto his leg.
Kennedy took a cookie and shoved it into his mouth, nodding. Yeah, blinking... People forgot to do that, right? He looked up, after swallowing, and smiled sheepishly. At least she was laughing and not thinking he was dumb.
The boy was having a bit of a hard time understanding how Sierra didn't see her brother so much during school. It wasn't that big of a place, kind of. "So you two aren't close to each other?" he asked, but her next statement somewhat answered that. Being the curious person he was, Kennedy wondered why she didn't mention their mom, but asking that may be too personal so he left it at that.
His eyes slightly widened, again, then grinned and shook his head. "No, we're friends," he said. He looked down at the girl clinging to his leg and smiled at her and patted her shoulder. "She was my dance partner for that Dance Lesson we had earlier this term." Yeah, she had somewhat taught him how to waltz.

Plus she wanted on the team next year and pouting wasn't the way to do that. "But it was a great game and I had a banner and everything." she nodded. It was too big for her to hold but it filled out the stands nicely.
Harlow nodded, "Yep. I taught him how to dance and everything." she admitted. She thought that was a pretty big feat. And it had been a lot of fun.

Kennedy was glad he was next to the table for balance. Harlow wasn't heavy, but with her clinging to legs it was a challenge to just stay still. "She had a point," he said. The game had been a bit rough. People crashing with each other, bloody noses... Yeah, dangerous for a small girl. "Oh yes, I saw." He did see her painted hair and all. It was quite adorable.
He chuckled when Harlow said she was his bodyguard. It was more like his was her's right now.

Cassie smirked at Carter's reply. Josh was being a bit quiet but she knew that he would loosen up a whole lot as the night wore on. The boy was like that..just unpredictable sometimes and that was one of the things she liked best about him. There was just never a dull moment.
"Well I won't lie to you that is half the reason I brought you two along." She stuck her tongue out playfully at him.
She led them both to the dance floor and very efficiently started dancing with both boys. Yes she was good like that and yes they were going to enjoy it. Right, right???
"I think you ought to take the lead now Phillips.." She smirked at him...and then they could break and get some nom nom and mingle.

"How to dance?" Sierra questioned. She looked over at Kennedy with a pleased smirk. "You know how to dance?" That was something Sierra didn't really know how to do. Maybe it had something with the social aspect of things, though. Once you told her she had to stand that close to someone and put her arms around them, she panicked and bailed.
She shrugged. "Meh, I wouldn't worry about Arithmancy. Not too many people are good at it. I might even drop it next term. That and Ancient Runes." Neither were Sierra's strong points. Her eyebrows creased inward in confusion. MoMo? "Who's MoMo?" she asked.

Merlin. This boy could eat, couldn't he? He really should be a Quidditch player. With a food he took in, he'd likely be beast out there on the pitch. Maybe she'd talk to him about it when the new school year started. "No," she answered, in reply to his question about her brother. She should have known he'd ask about it. After all, not every many people weren't close their own siblings.
"We don't have a mother, or...at least...I don't know where she is anymore," she continued. She shifted her weight from one foot to the other, and her eyes cast a cautious look toward both Kennedy and Harlow. Why was she suddenly being so honest with them? "Alex and I don't have the same father, so when our mother disappeared, he went to live with our sister. I chose to live with our father and his fiancee."
It sounded like a sad story, but no. "I'm happy, though," she said. She didn't want it to seem like a hurtful situation.

"Now I do," he grinned. "Thanks to Harlow being patient with me," he said, smiling down at the small girl. Only she knew how nervous he had been that day, especially about the part of having a partner of the opposite gender. At the end he did well and didn't step on Harlow.
He looked from one girl to the other. Who was MoMo? Kind of sounded like a teddy bear.
Kennedy listened to what Sierra said. This time he didn't ask why she didn't have a mother. He was familiar with that expression, but at a different end. Then he understood the reason of why Sierra and her brother weren't close. "I don't have a father." He said it as if it was the most normal thing in the world. "But, I'm totally happy with just my mom and I," he smiled. Why was he talking about this at a celebratory party? Maybe it was because Sierra was the first person that had a strange, but cool family like him? It could be.

Maybe it was because Sierra was the first person that had a strange, but cool family like him? It could be.
Sierra wasn't going to admit to not knowing how to dance. She'd likely be pretty good at it if she tried, buts he'd never really wanted to try. Then again, she was only fourteen-years-old. It wasn't like many children under fourteen liked to dance much anyway. Except Harlow, who apparently was good enough at it to teach it.
Her brown eyes moved quickly to Kennedy as he admitted to not having a father. Sierra wasn't expecting that. She'd gone years thinking her life behind closed doors was so different from everyone else's, and now here she was meeting someone in her very own house with the same situation. Well, sort of. "Oh," she said, and then it was her turn to blink. "I sort of want to say I'm sorry to hear that, but..." She shrugged. "I'm not sorry that I don't have a mom." There were times when it was hard to be a young girl without a mother, but that's what her father's fiancee was for. She provided the necessities, at least.
Then she laughed. It was one of those laughs when things had gotten too serious and a tension breaker was needed. "Listen to us, so serious at a celebratory party," she said, still laughing. She turned to face the table, scooped up another cup of punch, and started sipping on it. If nothing else, it was to try and move to the conversation to something not so serious.
Harlow grinned as Kennedy patted her shoulder. It was nice to have him as a friend. "We did the waltz and he told me about this party that girls go to in Mexico when they turn 15. Its like a sweet 16 but they have it 15." She didn't really remember the name, but she understood the concept. "It was a fun class and Kennedy didn't act like a poophead because he had to be my partner." She added. HArlow noticed him wobbling from her clinging to him and she relaxed her grip on his his legs so he wouldn't fall over. If he fell on it that would hurt. "Yeah it was pretty dangerous, but I still would have liked to have played." She got that people wanted to protect her because she was little, but she was going to be little her whole life.
Harlow looked at Sierra, "My mom won't be happy if I get bad marks in it. Well I won't be happy either. I don't like not being good at something, but just trying to read that book makes my eyes water." She had tried to study, she really did, but it ended with her using her Artimancy book to battle that spider at the bottom of her wardrobe.
Her face brightened at their question about MoMo. "Oh he's a singing pumpkin. My dad gave him to me for a present and he's the size of like a small crup or something. MoMo will sing you anything if you let him hear it once and he likes it when you tickle his leaves. And he likes his dirt mixed with crushed egg shells." She was really proud of MoMo and how big he had gotten. "I named him MoMo after the flying lemur in the Last Airbender. He's my favorite character." she beamed. Well Sokka was her favorite but that didn't seem to fit her pumpkin. Plus he liked being called MoMo.
Harlow looked from Kennedy to Sierra, back to Kennedy as they talked about their families. How said that they didn't have both parents. Especially cool parents like Harlow had. She liked having both parents and she couldn't imagine life without one of them. Now her brothers she could go through life without them. Well she liked Omari and Bryce. Just not Adrian and Carmelo.
