"Nuts and bolts, nuts and bolts! We got screwed!" ... once more.
What an enormously epic waste of time. Vindictus may as well have handed the Eagles the trophy before the match even started. Heck, why not give it to them now. It's not to say they didn't deserve it, but did they earn it?

Game over, she wanted to go and lick her wounds. "Good day Fina," she said curtly before standing to leave.

And Vashti closed in the snitch, which meant it would be another Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff match for the Championship.

Something that she was both happy and nervous about. Well then? Someone was bitter about her house's loss. It was strange to think that once upon a time, Seren would have been ecstatic over the Ravenclaw win.

"Sorry," she murmured, though it seemed hardly an adequate response now. "Good day, Seren." But rather than following her away from the stands and the pitch, Fina remained seated. Solemn. Reflective.

Emrys saw her smile and returned it, though it was awkward and strained. "That's cool," he replied. He wasn't terribly invested in the game and he'd realized that the guy he almost got into that fight with in class was the keeper.

His cheeks flushed as he realized that the boy had been fawning over, well, not his girlfriend. But it was the spell, but oh merlin this was awkard.

"Should be a good match," he said, refusing to meet her eyes. Did she know?

Taryn shrugged that off, "Well, it doesn't seem to be going so well for them... I'm glad I'm not a Gryffindor."

Well, for this and other reasons. Though she WOULD like to share a common room with Auggie.. hehe. Other than that? No thanks. "Looks like you picked the right team."

She glanced at him and noticed his flushed cheeks. Was the match too much? "Are you okay?" She eyed him, but he wasn't looking at her, like something was wrong.

"I-it's my house," he answered weakly, swallowing hard and pretending to be absolutely enthralled by the match. He let his eyes follow the quaffle back and forth until... Merlin, the game was over. That seemed quick.

"F-fine," he lied. He wondered what, if anything, she knew about that class. He was horribly embarrassed by what had happened and feared that her boyfriend had told her everything.

He took notice of Professor Bentley's rather... colorful indication of how she thought Gryffindor had been treated and recognized it as a good diversion. "Is she always like that?"

Evelyn looked up when the young ravenclaw girl asked if she could join her. "Oh. Not at all." Evelyn smiled at the girl. She turned to watch the match again when the girl introduced herself. "It's nice to meet you, Lily. I'm Evelyn Wellington, a sixth year."

"Thanks... It's nice to meet you too, Evelyn." Lily said grinning. But then she turned back to the match just as the snitch was caught for the third time! Ravenclaw WON!!!!! Standing up, Lily shouted. "We won!!! We're in the championship! "

Professor Bentley was NOT happy, "Can't blame her for that, if I were Gryffindor Head of House, I'd feel the same way." That was her opinion on the matter anyway, and his distraction seemed to work.

Taryn stood up when everyone else did and started to block her view. Sigh. She was STILL TO SHORT so she had to stand on her seat to see over heads. As soon as she got her eyes back on the pitch and located Auggie, she witnessed a bludger knock him off of his broomstick. She gasped and then winced. THAT must have hurt! EEK.

She jumped down from her seat and glanced at the boy beside her, "I should go!" Where, she wasn't sure. It wasn't like she was allowed on the pitch during the game. "Bye!" She waved and started off as the game ended and the Ravenlcaws pronounced winners.

She was going to look for August now.

TakemetotheBurrow 03-17-2012 08:55 PM

The claws had won! They had won! Ella was up and clapping, not quite sure how to feel about the situation. On the one hand, she was really happy for Max. He had done an awesome job and she was planning on telling him so when she saw him. On the other hand, they would be really tough competition...oh well. For now, Ella was excitedly jumping up and down.

Ravenclaw won! WOOOOT! Evelyn clapped enthusiastically. It was a good match. The Eagles played really well..although, this made her slightly nervous since the Huffies were going against them soon. The Badgers definitely had a strong competitor. Eeek.

"I can't wait for the next match already." Evelyn grinned back at the girl before she continued to cheer loudly.

Ella looked over at the older puff and smiled nervously. "Evelyn, is this good or bad for the puffs?" She asked quietly. Waiting for an answer, she continued to clap for the players on both teams, thinking it had been quite a good match. She really hoped the gryffindor seeker was okay though. That had been quite the fall.

Emrys breathed a sigh of relief as she commented on Prof. Bentley and didn't inquire any further into what was wrong. He nodded at her assessment but was startled as she leapt down from her seat.

Making sure he wasn't in her way, he didn't say anything as she fled, putting a hand up awkwardly and waved.

"Um, bye I guess," he finally uttered, long after she was gone. Folks around him were excited and celebrating, or quite displeased, depending on who they had been rooting for, and he wondered if now wasn't a good time to just get out of there.

It seemed it.

The question, however, was where to go. The Common Room would likely not be calm for long...

Ringo 03-17-2012 09:42 PM

Logan, not wanting to miss another game, rushed to the stands, his bag slung over his shoulder. He searched the packed stands for a spot, and found one at the top. He made his way up, and sat down. He smiled, happy to be at his...first game. He had missed every one so far, and made it clear to himself that morning that he wouldn't miss this one. Plus, he had to cheer on his team!

He glanced at his bag as suddenly, Peeta crawled out and stretched. "Peeta!" he said. "How'd you get in there?!" he asked. Peeta just meowed and curled up on Logan's lap, flinching a little at the cheers from other nearby students and professors. Logan shrugged and hoped it was alright that Peeta could tag along. As Logan watched the game, he looked around for any familiar faces. He needed someone to share his jelly beans and other sweets with. . . .what was a Quidditch game without a few sweets? And a buddy to eat them with?!

"Bad, I think." Evelyn said, her excitement fading slightly. "I mean, they've played so well..I hope the Puffs know who they are up against." Evelyn didn't lose hope though. Hufflepuff had an amazing team and she was pretty sure they would win but still..the claws were great as well. Sigh.

Lily was super excited. This was going to be awesome... only where had their captain been... They would definitely need their captain for the next match. "It's gonna be really exciting!" Lily squealed with excitement and happiness. "I think I'm going to head up to my common room before the crowd gets there to celebrate! See you around Evelyn, and it was nice meeting you." The first year beamed again at the puff before heading out of the stands to beat the crowd to the common room.

Ella nodded, frowning slightly. "Yeah, that's what I was afraid of..." She said, looking down at the pitch. There seemed to be some kind of yelling going on down there but Ella couldn't make it out. She looked around the stands, watching the people file out when she spotted Logan. "Hey Evelyn, I have to go say hi to someone but I'll see you around, okay?" She asked, smiling.

Ella walked up to the top of the stands and stood smiling at Logan. "Hey you, have you been hiding up here the entire match?" She asked, smirking. "I would have sat with you!" She then noticed Peeta all curled up in Logan's lap and smiled. "Brought a friend, have you?" She said, sitting down and petting the little guy.

Logan saw Ella make her way to him. He smiled at her. He chuckled. "I actually just got here. I almost forgot there was a match today, until I saw the empty common room." he said blushing slightly. He then chuckled. "I guess he wanted to tag along, eh Peeta?" he asked, patting him. Peeta blinked his eyes open and looked at Logan sleepily and yawned. He then noticed Ella petting him, and excitedly hopped onto her lap and curled up again, purring loudly. "Well looky here. He really likes you, Ella." Logan said with a smile.

Ella eyed Logan and tried not to giggle. "That was a good clue to follow. Though I'm sorry to be the one to tell you that Gryffindor lost." She frowned at this, not knowing how Logan would take it. She perked up a bit when little Peeta jumped on to her lap and settled down, purring. "I hope he isn't the only one that feels that way." She said boldly, her eyes flickering nervously at Logan and then back at the cat. "And I really like him too." She added, bending to give the cat a gentle kiss on the head.

"Eh. That's probably 'cause I wasn't on the team this year." he said in his manly voice with a smile, even though he felt kind of sad that the first game he went to the team he wanted to win lost.

"Oh course not. I like you more than Peeta ever could." he said with a wink. He then smiled. "Who couldn't like him? He's pretty amazing. I'm glad I got him." he said, patting Peeta's head.

Ella smiled. "You know, I bet that's precisely why they lost." She said, giggling. "I am sorry though, I'm sure you wanted them to win." She would have been totally bummed if it had been Hufflepuff.

Ella blushed when Logan told her how much he liked her. "You're so-" She couldn't think of a nice enough word so she settled for leaning over and kissing Logan on the cheek. "Sweet. You're so sweet." She nodded then, agreeing about Peeta. He was an amazing cat. "You made a good choice with this one." She said, scratching behind Peeta's little ears.

Zhenya made her way to the stands where she took a seat. She pulled out her book and her water bottle for comfort and started to read. She was one of the first ones there, and needed to catch up before the game began. She was a bit disappointed that Slytherin hadn't made it, but she had a lot of fun with practicing and attending games so far. Next year would be different! Of course she was hoping the Ravenclaw team would win.

Eh? How many quidditch match that she missed? Raven need to curse her terrible headache. She didn't know that it's already the final match! Hufflepuff vs Ravenclaw. She was unhappy that Slytherin didn't get to final. Seems like the snakes lost their fangs after Evelyn was graduated, Victoria Bunbury transferred to somewhere and the ex-captain Lola Jones was dissapeared. She walked to the stand, the match seemed fun.

While she looked for the seat, Raven noticed that Zhenya was there too. It has been a long time they didn't have talk each other since they met at the lake. Raven decided to walk toward her, but not to sit beside Zhenya. She went back and covered Zhenya's eyes with her palm and cleared her throat.

Zhenya was starting to lose herself in her book. It was fascinating her! Then someone put their hands over her eyes. She didn't have the reaction to close them so it really hurt her eyes. "OWW!" she said, then heard someone clear their throat. That sounded quite familiar. The past 2 years sleeping in the same dormitory as Raven, she recognised the sound of the noises she made. She reached up and pulled her hands off her eyes and pulled them forward to see if Raven would come sit next to her. She hoped she would, she missed her.
"Hello Raven," she said, in a mock charm. "I missed you!" she said. "Who are you going to go for?"

Raven smiled and took a seat beside Zhenya. "I missed you too." she said. Trapped in dormitory because of her terrible headache was bad. She missed some classes and quidditch matches too. But she was too lazy to see the evil healer.

Huh, quidditch. See the stands was full of blue-bronze and yellow-black color, she didn't know which house she will support because she missed the match. "Well, I don't know." she shrugged. "I missed most of the match. And I also didn't watch Slytherin against Gryffindor match." she said in low voice, maybe Zhenya was quiet sad about their lost.

Gabrielle 03-24-2012 10:05 AM

Glenn walked down to the stands, proudly supporting her house by wearing all her yellow belongings. It might have taken a while to discern her hair from her cardigan.

She took a seat and had to stop herself from bouncing up and down as she waited. Hufflepuff had better win this one! Glenn had never been one for actually playing Quidditch but watching... that was something she enjoyed.

Lady of Light 03-24-2012 12:05 PM

Evelyn made her way to the stands, her excitement building up with every step she took. Uh. She was also slightly nervous, since they were up against a really good team. Yep. That was kind of scary.

Yeah, she was really early. She noticed only a few people around. Anyway, she decided to sit in the front this time. Less distractions and she would also be able to watch the match clearly. She took a seat and anxiously, waited for the match to begin.

TakemetotheBurrow 03-24-2012 01:13 PM

Ella walked to the stands, an excited bounce in her step. The first year was dressed in head-to-toe yelllow, even adorning her long blonde braids with yellow ribbons. She could not wait for the match to begin, though she was extremely nervous! She wanted Hufflepuff to win so badly but then there was Max. He was her friend and she wanted him to do well too. She shook off the confusion and searched the stands for a seat, smiling at the few Hufflepuffs she spotted already seated. "Hi guys! Excited?" Finding her own seat towards the front, Ella set down the many signs she had brought to each match and began bouncing her legs nervously.

"Yeah... well, I didn't play because, well... I was still a bit scared after getting hit so hard. And some of the practises were really tough. I got stuck in the hoops! And Anna just laughed at me. But next year I think I'm going to try out again, and I'll get better!" she said, determined.

She offered Raven some of her food. She had some sushi with her that she had managed to get from the Elves.
