Sitting down she handed Violet one of the Slytherin cupcakes that were being passed out. "Your Welcome" she smiled. Chelsea thought her outfit may be a bit much for a quidditch match but she had fun putting it together and finally being able to use her snake jewelry. "It really did! I mean look at everyones hair almost everyone changed it to their house color. I should probably do mine to complete my outfit" she paused looking around "I'm a quidditch fan myself but this match is the most exciting one I've been to yet. I know that song is so clever, and catchy. And its true, we're gonna win" she said. Slytherin had a pretty good winning streak this year. She began to sing the song with her friend once more.

"We're never gonna stop, stop, st-st-st-stop,
We'll always be on top, top, t-t-t-top,
We're serpents 'til we drop, drop, dr-dr-dr-drop,
We're always gonna win, we are Slyth-er-in!

In Quidditch, we're the best, best, b-b-b-best!
Better than all the rest, rest, r-r-r-rest!
Don't put us to the test, test, t-t-t-test,
We're always gonna win, we are Slyth-er-in!"

[SIZE="5"]"Go Slytherin Go!" Sky screamed. She knew the point of a pep rally was to be as loud as possible, and so far, her housemates were missing the point entirely. She threw some more of her hissing confetti, and started stomping and clapping in a rhythm that any American who'd ever been to a sporting event knew,

STOMPSTOMP*Clap*STOMPSTOMP*Clap*STOMPSTOMP*Clap*
and started yelling,

"WE WILL, WE WILL ROCK YOU!"

Ariana saw & heard Victoria singing the chant and she waved to her.



Ariana saw Nora her serpent sidekick partner "Hey Nora!" as she waved to her



Ariana saw Professor lafay bobbing to the chant & it made her giggle seeing the professor all dancy was weird



"No Problem!" ariana said to othe boy who she saw around the school a lot. "I'm Aria.." the boy had already ran off before she got half her name out.



Ariana loved hearing all people join in on the chant!



"ohh that confetti is wonderful!" Ariana said all excited!




"Oh thanks but i didnt write is Sierra did." She said as she pointed to the third year who was just a few seats * rows away.

Angelina smiled and laughed and said, "Oh, I didn't know that." Angelina had to go over to the girl Sierra and tell her she liked it.

Angelina smiled up at the girl once more and then screamed, "GO SLYTHERIN!"

Carter chuckled. "It's cute mate." he said slapping the younger gryffindor on the shoulder. "You can't deny that red head will keep your life interesting. Good job." Ah, young love. Gideon definitely snagged a good girl. He was happy for them.

"You going to rawr for us?"



Carter chuckled. "I didn't realize you could do that." It was a neat trick. "Should we add a bit of paint to your face so you look like a lion?" he asked. That would be fun.

And yay! Cookies. He wanted to make grabby hands for it... but he needed to be painted first.

SWEET MERLIN! That was loud. He covered his ears. He thought he was getting in to the school spirit.



Carter blinked. That was an odd chant. A very odd chant. He looked over to see Josh. Ah. Yes. Not so surprising anymore.

"That's the spirit mate... I think..."



Yeah. Carter saw the eyeroll.... it only encouraged him to smirk more. And why would he not smirk? It wasn't everyday there was a pep rally and your younger female teammates painted you red. This was a fantastically brilliant way to end the term.

Carter chuckled as the girl slathered paint on his face. Okay... it wasn't exactly a slather, but it was still paint on his face. "I'm always nice." he retorted using his finger to smear off his face paint onto her arm... in the shape of 'CP'. That's right, he branded Skylar with his initials.

He then turned around as he was instructed to let her paint his back.

O_O

Did she really have to yell in his ear like that?

He laughed looking between the two lovebirds. "Oh. I know you know better than to argue with Skylar. Merlin help whoever gets her properly mad." he said with a wink.

There were so many topless lions about, that it really wasn't surprising when August, bare-chest and all addressed her. "Hello August dear," she greeted with a nod of the head. "I'm very well thank you, and yourself?"



"Ahh Gideon, good to see you. Enjoying the rally?" Of course he was, why wouldn't he be? Gryffindor boys together, topless and in the Stands.... how could that not be fun?

0___________0

Lions... she would never understand them.



Salt makes you thirsty? Pepper makes you sneeze?..... Gryffindors make you roar?

Seren grinned at Kurumi, the little lioness was certainly getting into the swing of things. As tempted as she was to start roaring, she restrained herself. No the last thing Gryffindor needed was for HER to start roaring like a crazed person. That wasn't quite the image they were going for was it?

Eyeing the topless boys again.. well, maybe crazed was what they were going. Surely it was only a matter of time before they started beating their chests with their fists and making animal noises. Gryffindors right?

Alyssa laughed and clapped her hands when she saw someone show up in a badger suit. Whoever it was had to be crazy because if it was scorching hot here on the stands, she knew that it must be smothering hot in that suit. She wondered who it was, because that person had to really love their House so much that they were willing to endure the heat or they were just plain crazy.

Alyssa's question was answered when the person (badger) spoke. Alyssa would recognize that voice anywhere. It was Aaron!! She didn't even think he would show up at the Pep Rally, let alone show up in a Badger suit, especially since he was supposed to be busy taking his OWLs. But knowing Aaron, he would find any reason to take a break. However, this time she couldn't fault him because this was as good a reason, if any, to take a break. He was here to cheer on their house team. She always knew that there was a reason why she thought he was special and why she loved him. He was the most unselfish guy on the planet!!

"Aaron, you doofus!! You must be melting hot in there. At least take your head off for awhile. We promise not to look too much at your body. Right ladies?" Alyssa winked over at Minnie, Nessie, Janice and Kita. She could just see Professor Hadley's face if he did that, but it was worth it.

Minerva laughed when Alyssa told Aaron to take off his head and said the girls wouldn't look. Minerva thought a second and then yelled. "HEY AARON WHERE IS MY BADGER HAT YOU TOLD ME YOU WOULD MAKE ME?" She wondered if he even remembered from that first match. She just laughed and started cheering for Hufflepuff again.

"We're never gonna stop, stop, st-st-st-stop,
We'll always be on top, top, t-t-t-top,
We're serpents 'til we drop, drop, dr-dr-dr-drop,
We're always gonna win, we are Slyth-er-in!

In Quidditch, we're the best, best, b-b-b-best!
Better than all the rest, rest, r-r-r-rest!
Don't put us to the test, test, t-t-t-test,
We're always gonna win, we are Slyth-er-in!"

OOC: Lyrics by "Not Literally"

As soon as Sierra reached the stands, she started chanted the lyrics and some of the others had practiced in one of the empty classrooms. She was late getting to the pep rally, so even though she wasn't really a cheering type person, she figured she'd start out with a cheer to make up for being late.

"GO SLYTHERIN!" she yelled. She fist pumped into the air then turned to take a glance around the stands...



...and grinned a very small grin when she saw Professor Lafay in her usual spot. She bee-lined straight for the woman, trying all the while to avoid the annoying, screaming Gryffindors. She was halfway to the professor when she saw the woman pat the seat next to her, indicating for Josh Carter to take a seat. Sierra paused and frowned. There wasn't a seat next to her now, but she could sit nearby.

She plopped down amongst some Slytherins and turned to wave at her Head of House.

This was so COOL! The snakes were singing. See, they only not hiss, but sing as well.

Hehehe!

Still standing on top of the seats he raised his hands. "I can't hear you!" He could, he really could, but they needed to be louder than the rest of the houses. Yes, how could he NOT hear the Gryffindors. Hmm?! They were everywhere. We're watching you.

"We're never gonna stop, stop, st-st-st-stop,
We'll always be on top, top, t-t-t-top,
We're serpents 'til we drop, drop, dr-dr-dr-drop,
We're always gonna win, we are Slyth-er-in!

In Quidditch, we're the best, best, b-b-b-best!
Better than all the rest, rest, r-r-r-rest!
Don't put us to the test, test, t-t-t-test,
We're always gonna win, we are Slyth-er-in!"

'WAIT' she shouted 'I SHOULD BE DINGING A HUPPLEPUFF SONG! That goes a little something like this:
Well there's lots of well know Hufflepuffs,
in the Potterverse.
Well some of them are gardeners.
And some of them are worse.
They hang out in the kitchen making sandwiches.
And pizza and omelets full of fluff.
Its hard to call it pride
but I think they're good enough.
There's no shame in Hufflepuff.
No shame in Hufflepuff.'

"Oooh?" Indy grinned. Anything Spike planned was sure to be pretty epic. Well, if it worked anyway. But if it didn't work, well it was sure to get everyones attention onto the Ravenclaws, which was good. And at lesat there were lots of Ravenclaws here now. Indiana didn't feel quite so on her own anymore. Which was a very good thing. Now all the ravenclaws could group together, and get there cheer on this would be fun.

"Yes! She's very nice." Indy beamed with a big grin. Totally her favorite teacher ever right now, especially considering that Professor Bentley was being such a traitor. "I did I did!" Because Indiana was not a rude girl. She was just happy that her shoes looked really epic. "I bet she'd do yours too if I asked.." Because then they would really be an epic duo.

But now. She needed to get to doing some cheers. Hmm. She needed to think of one first. You know. That did kind of help.

Ravenclaws. Ravenclaws.
We're the Smart Kids. We're Ravenclaws.
Everyone's wishing they were in our House. Our House.

Ravenclaws. Ravenclaws.
We're the Smart Kids. We're Ravenclaws.
Everyone's wishing they were in our House. Our House.

Katie smiled at all the snakes around her, she tucked one of her green hairs, yes green, she had made it green to show off her slytherin pride, behind her ear. She had also face painted a silver snake on each cheek of hers, Slytherin was the bomb, and they were the best. She looked and saw what everyone were saying and joined in.

"We're never gonna stop, stop, st-st-st-stop,
We'll always be on top, top, t-t-t-top,
We're serpents 'til we drop, drop, dr-dr-dr-drop,
We're always gonna win, we are Slyth-er-in!

In Quidditch, we're the best, best, b-b-b-best!
Better than all the rest, rest, r-r-r-rest!
Don't put us to the test, test, t-t-t-test,
We're always gonna win, we are Slyth-er-in!"



Katie looked at the girl who was singing this and a smile grew to her face

^__________________^

STOMPSTOMP. clap . STOMPSTOMP. clap . STOMPSTOMP. clap . STOMPSTOMP. clap.

"Weeee will weee will ROCK YOU!" Katie said, she couldn't resist, she really couldn't, she must join in.

Aaron smiled at Cassie and waved back at her, 'nice eaaaars!' He nodded and listened to her cheers, that was goood. And so true, this suit was so hot. But he would suffer for Hufflepuff any day.




Just then Aaron saw Kita, bringing LOTS of supplies with her. Maybe she had some black and yellow for the badger suit..? He waved at her before twisting around to show off his suit.
'LIKE IT?!' He'd made if for the Quidditch games, so she, as the Captain, would have to like it. Or he would be very disappointed with himself. 'YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS! BLACK AND YELLOW, BLACK AND YELLOW! WE HUFFLEPUFFS EAT LOTS OF JELLO!'

Jello? Aaron shrugged, it rhymed and it was pretty much the coolest desert ever, it JIGGLED! And Hufflepuffs were known for the food and all, right?



Aaron nodded at Alyssa, it was hot. It might even be hot during a winter day, but in June, with the warm sun and everything? He was probably going to die within the next few hours. But he'd die like a Hufflepuff.
He could really do with something to drink though... 'I can't take my head off! I won't be complete! Besides, where would I keep it?' He shook his head, this badger head was staying on until this pep rally thing was over.




Oh. Right. Aaron had forgotten that. But he HAD been really busy after all, you know, with eating, sleeping, making this costume, wearing costumes and some studying for his OWLs in between. So no extra head for Minerva now...
'Sorry!'

He turned to see what the other houses were doing, they sure were singing A LOT more than the few Hufflepuffs that were hanging around here. But maybe his suit would make up for that..

Raising a brow Ness let Cassie squish her. She didn't understand why Cass always squished her, couldn't she just give her a proper hug? Anyway, she didn't feel making Cass upset so she put a grin on her face and pretended to be in a happy cheery mood..which of course she wasn't. She was tired and grumpy and she wanted to hop in her bed and go back to sleep. She was only here because she sorta had to be. "Im glad you made it to." she said giving Cass a thumbs up.

She giggled a little as she saw Cassie's badger ears, but she had to admit that they looked adorable. Ness wasn't wearing too much yellow seeing as yellow didn't go to well with her red hair. She tried to think of any cheers she knew, and then she remebered one she used to love. She just hoped all the Badgers would join in.

"WE'VE GOT THE SPIRIT,
YES WE DO!!
WE'VE GOT THE SPIRIT!,
SO HOW ABOUT YOU?"

Raven's spirit was burnt, she sang the song loudly..

"We're never gonna stop, stop, st-st-st-stop,
We'll always be on top, top, t-t-t-top,
We're serpents 'til we drop, drop, dr-dr-dr-drop,
We're always gonna win, we are Slyth-er-in!

In Quidditch, we're the best, best, b-b-b-best!
Better than all the rest, rest, r-r-r-rest!
Don't put us to the test, test, t-t-t-test,
We're always gonna win, we are Slyth-er-in!"

Pheeew...

Tiffany smiled as Kurumi has finished with her painting for her. She took out a mirror and found herself really looked like a lion. So the lioness of her true selves have already shown up. It would be a lot better to cheer for her own house Gryffindor!

"WHO ARE WE FIGHTING FOR? GRYFFINDOR!
GIVING IT ALL FOR THE RED AND GOLD!!!"she shouted loudly.

Beatrice pushed the glasses closer to her nose as she jogged towards the Stands wherein the Pep Rally was already taking place. Her eyesight was nowhere unstable, she just wanted a new look for herself. Hence, the glasses. Aside from that, she was also carrying her backpack with her personal necessities inside and a huge tray with cupcakes on it.

As much as she wanted to support her own House, she also wanted to show sportsmanship to the other Houses. And bringing those cupcakes was her one way of showing that.

She edged closer into the crowd, "Cupcakes! For Everyone!" She yelled enthusiastically as she gestured the students whom she passed to get one or more from the tray she was holding.

Now, where are the Ravenclaws?

Janice followed Alyssa as she chanted the new song.

BAAAAADGER, BADGER, BADGER, BADGER, BADGER, BAAADGER
EVERYWHERE WE GO-OH
PEOPLE WANT TO KN-OW
WHO WE AR-RE
WHERE WE COME FROM
SO WE TELL THEM
WE COME FROM HUFFLEPUFF
MIGHTY HUFFLEPUFF
MIGHTY, MIGHTY HUFFLEPUFF
BAAAAADGER, BADGER, BADGER, BADGER, BADGER, BAAADGER

While doing so, she took out her banner and hold it up to the sky.

"GO BADGERS!!"
She screamed as loud as she could that by the end of the day (if she keeps screaming at this rate) her voice would just be gone.



"Nice suit, Aaron!" Janice called from somewhere behind him.



"Mememememe!!" Janice waved towards Madam Captain and scurried towards her. "I also want glitter on my head!"

Janice laughed uncontrollably at Lyssie's comment. She sure love that girl's tone of voice.



Oooh! New cheer!!
Janice followed Ness as she cheered for Hufflepuff. Goodness, that was a LOT of fun.



Close enough, bro. Close enough.

Well now that she'd spent some time with the LOVELY Lions, Seren figured it was time to move on and see how the other houses were getting on. Pep Rally's always got her so excited, the idea of getting everyone together to celebrate their loyalty was simply brilliant. Provided nobody was putting others down, because that wouldn't be very sportsman like. Nope.

Seren found herself gravitating toward Dash and his yummy looking Slytherin cupcakes, but was somehow pulled off course by a young Eagle yelling about cupcakes for everyone.

MORE CUPCAKES! Score Bentley, score!



Dancing her way over to the Blue Party, Seren hummed along to the Gryffindor Rally song... hhhmm she'd have to pick up the Eagles one soon or she'd go insane.
"Come on! Caw caw Ravelclaw's!" she sang, encouraging a few to sing or chant along. Honestly... they should be doing better, hadn't they taken pointers from her cheering at Quidditch matches? If they hadn't, then they should.

"Beatrice! ... oohh nice shoes!" she said looking down at the girls bright blue sneakers. Brilliant!

But she wasn't here for the shoes, nope she was here for Ravenclaw... and cupcakes!
"May I?" she asked, eyeing off a pretty blue Ravenclaw cupcake. At this rate she would soon swell to the size of a mature Australian Brain Coral... and THAT was a scary thought.

Hmm.. Where are they? Why am I only seeing Red, Green and Yellow colors? Where are the Blue People? "Seriously, blue people?" She asked herself, still gesturing students to pick a cupcake or two from the tray. Talking about blue people makes her remember Avatar, a muggle movie she had seen back home.

And speaking of blue, their Herbology Professor was walking towards her while singing their House's chant. They have a chant? "Caw Caw Ravenclaws!" She joined in, laughing as she went. "Caw Caw Ravenclaws!"

"Thanks Professor." She replied when the Professor remarked her converse shoes. It was one of her favorites, not only was it blue but it was very comfortable too.

"CUPCAKES!CUPCAKES!" She once again announced at the loud crowd before her. She sounded like someone selling goods in the market. "Oh. Do help yourself Professor." She told her after being asked if she could get one of the cupcakes. Of course! It was to be given to all. And the Faculty Staff were no exception. She shoved the tray closer to the Herbology teacher.

Orr was standing in the stands cheering "GO CLAWS!" when she noticed Beezus standing in the walkway between the bleachers holding a tray with cupcakes. Orr made her way to her keeping up her cheer as she did so.

"Go! Claws! HEY Beezus!!" She called out as she neared her friend.

Chuckling at the enthusiastic cheers of the students, Beatrice took a Hufflepuff Cupcake from the tray she was holding. Okay, so basically she wasn't able to taste any of the cupcakes and now was her chance even if she had to sing while she did.

Beatrice was about to bite the cupcake held upward by her wand towards her mouth when she heard someone call her. Spinning around, she found out that it was her friend Orr. "Hey! Haven't seen you much around." Then she took a bite. Awww.. Pretty yummy. And tastes somewhat like honey. "Want some?" She asked, shoving the tray of cupcakes towards her.

Orr nodded as Beezus showed her the tray, "Sure." She took one cupcake and took a bite, "These are delicious!!"

Not wanting to seem like she wasn't cheering for her house, she smiled at Beezus and turned to shout GO CLAWS!

She turned back to Beezus and asked "How have you been? I've been buried under school work."

"GO HOGWARTS! RAVENCLAWS!" She cheered as Orr took a bite from the cupcake. "Really? Thanks." Oh. What a relief! Those cupcakes were a success after all. "Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Slytherin!" Beezus shouted in a sing-song way.

Then she faced her friend once again, "I'm great. Haven't done too much school work though." It was true, she was just being relaxed even if Finals were fast approaching. "You shouldn't study too much. You might surpass a genius." She joked.
