Minerva went up to the stands and found a place to sit. She was nervous for Harvey's first game. She had put a blue hair clip in her hair to cheer on the claws.

Jonathan raised an eyebrow as he starred at his wardrobe. Oh right. "Wrong outfit" he chuckled. He actually didn't know he was coming to watch the game. He just wanted to check out things that are happening. Well, still he should have at least worn the Slytherin scarf instead. BUT then again, he did say he was just going to pass by and maybe go back to the common room afterwards. Jonathan isn't really much of a quidditch fan.

Jonathan waved his hands and shook his head. His tongue was already burnt from having that hot chicken soup in the morning. It was so good yet the soup was sooo hot it burnt his tongue.

Oh, so the DADA professor remembers him. That's good. Plus, Jonathan has 3 letters as a last name, it's not that hard to remember really. Jonathan doesn't know that much about this professor because first and foremost she's new. She's not an alumna at Hogwarts too so she can't really decide on which team to pick. "Go green, professor" he tried joking around, just to ease up. Well technically he's not really joking about the cheering for the Slytherins. It would be nice if she did.

He gave out a small laugh.

Really? Aurora was the one who deducted this and not him. "Really, Daichi?!" he said, pinching the little boy's cheeks. Well, to him he's still little even though Daichi is starting to have that puberty change going on.

TRAITOR?! Jonathan laughed. "Bloody no" he told Daichi "Most of my stuffs are either black gray navy and blue" apparently Jonathan needed more green to his wardrobe because other than his green Slytherin scarf and uniform, he doesn't own anything green at all.

Brooke, bundled up in her winter cloak and slytherin scarf, made her way through the stands to find a seat. She was really excited for this game, and she hoped it would be just as good as all the quidditch matches last term. Although, she didn't really care for this match as much as she would for one against Gryffindor, she sat down on one of the seats in a content position to watch the game.

She looked around at all of the people up in the stands, and gazed out over the quidditch pitch. She marveled over the the way the field looked, brand new almost, and it looked like it hadn't been used in a while.

She pulled her cloak around her more tightly, and felt her face become cold in the winter breeze. Her ears stung, and her nose was probably red as can be. She heaved out a sigh and watched the breathe in the air dissappear. She decided that the best way to warm up would be to cheer of course!
"GOOOOOO SNAKES!"she said cheerfully.

Ella was beyond excited for the start of quidditch. She had been doing a lot of reading on the sport and couldn't wait to see it played in person. Anxious to see the first match, she hurried down to the stands and saw a few hufflepuffs among the crowd. She smiled and sat with them, pulling her coat tighter around her. It sure was cold out!

"Trying my best, professor," Kurumi laughed with a small shake of her thermos. Although Kurumi wished she had brought some green tea with her instead. Most people at Hogwarts couldn't handle the bitter flavor of the tea though. The Gryffindor preferred that to any of the sweeter tea options available.

Kurumi took another look out at the pitch and couldn't help but giggle as Jonathan and Daichi offered up their professional opinion about to place her bet on for the match. Subconsciously, Kurumi adjusted the green ribbon in her hair.
"Well, seeing as no one else seems to want any of it..." Kurumi laughed as she leaned over Jonathan for a moment to hand Daichi the thermos. "You can have the rest of the hot chocolate." Honestly, and Daichi thought that he was being more mature? He was still the adorable little snake that she knew and saw like a little brother - and he could stay that was for a while longer. A long while longer.

"Professor Bentley!" Kurumi waved, sitting back up straight now. It was no surprise to see the Herbology professor here. Kurumi had this image of her getting on a broom herself during a match because those on the field were not doing things properly - or something like that.

Kurumi giggled. "Well, you may be happy to see that I am sporting just a little Slytherin pride myself," she winked, pointing to the ribbon in her hair. True, it had been Kennedy who had made the deal with her to wear it, but that small detail wasn't important.

Her gaze went back to the pitch now. Was that...the teams running a few warm up drill and exercises? It really wasn't too much longer until the match started, so that made sense. Kurumi leaned her head and rested it on Jonathan's shoulder. Kurumi had something to give Jonathan, a Christmas present of sorts, but she wasn't sure when to do so exactly - not that she really could do so right here in the middle of the stands.

Selena adjusted the little hat she had placed on her pygmy puff's head. Then she adjusted the one on her head and placed Kent atop of her green hat. "HEELLLOOOOO!!!" Selena exclaimed, waving a Slytherin flag in her hand enthusiastically as she beamed at everyone. Yes. Selena was at an actual Quidditch game. What were the odds of that ever happening? Heh. But this time she was actually going to CHEEEEER. Because it was supposed to be fun. "How's everyone doing?" Selena asked before taking a bite out of her chocolate bar in her other hand.

She had to stay awake somehow after all.... she was pretty sure the match wasn't going to be thaaaat interesting. "Goooooo SLYTHERIN!!!" Selena added, bouncing up and down before plopping down in a seat and smiling at everyone around her. BECAUSE SHE WAS HAAAPPPPPPPY. Obviously. Or had too much sugar...

The first Quidditch match of the term! Slytherin against Ravenclaw! Messer definitely ready for this match. Its pretty cold outside so he bundle up in his winter cloak, a blue scarf wrapped around his neck and a blue sombreno that is too big for his head. He's promised Ellie that he'd wear a sombreno to Ravenclaw match. So here he's.

When he arrived at the stand, some students already there. Mostly Slytherin though and they're shouting like crazy! "GOOOOO RAVENCLAW..!!!" he shouted.

When Messer turned his gaze, he saw a very familiar face. "Kurumi!" he gave the older girl a wave. He looked at Kurumi's outfit. Slytherin? It seem he's in the wrong side of the stands.

"How are you?" he asked her while took out his blue maracas from his bag.



Well, it seem today match not only excited the students but the Professor as well. "Hello, Professor Romanos and Professor Bentley." he greeted the two Professor with a polite nod. "So which team are you cheering for?" he asked.

She could've guessed he'd be cheering for Slytherin, if only from the sudden exclamation of Mister Kim being a traitor. It took her a moment to realize the color of the clothes the older boy was wearing was what caused the outburst. She chuckled quietly. "One vote Slytherin then."

Two votes for Slytherin.

Yet the way he suggested it had Medea laughing. "Can't argue vith that." There was already a good amount of 'green' fans in the stands from what she could see. One more couldn't hurt.

Good. The possibility of catching a cold out here was too high. Rubbing her hands together, after a moment, she tugged her gloves out of her coat pocket to put on. "Certainly going to help me vith vot's going on in the match, right?" she asked with amusement, glancing to the Gryffindor girl out of the corner of her eye as she fixed her gloves. Either that, or she was going to be just as lost as she was with gobstones.

Looking around for the new voice, Medea smiled at the young Hufflepuff. So there were a few who were showing up. "Good day, Mister Messer." she smiled as her attention was momentarily changed towards the blond haired woman. "Professor Bentley."

As for who she was cheering for... "Apparently Slytherin." As suggested by a few students.

She was already so engrossed with what was happening on the pitch... and what was about to happen, that she had only barely managed to pull her attention away from the view in front of her.

Who was calling her name?!?!

Of course, it didn't take long to realise that the familiar sound came from one of her very own, and it was a pleasant surprise.
"Hi there Kurumi," she called out whilst returning the wave.

It wasn't too long after that, that she heard another familiar voice. This time from one of the young Badgers.
"Ahh hello Edvard, how are you today?" she greeted warmly. This was certainly going to be an event for the young lad. Hogwarts quidditch matches were just phenomenal.
"I'm supporting Ravenclaw this match... it'd be nice to see them get up over the Snakes this year." Seeing as the Snakes already had their moment in the spot light. They didn't need any more trophies for a while did they? Naaahhhh.

Professor Bentley? ... a bit formal? Nonetheless Seren returned the greeting with her usual smile. "Professor Romanos."

Selina was late.... How was it that the Gryffindor Quidditch Captain was late to a Quidditch match? Was that even possible? Apparently it was because she was late... As in super late. The game had already started by the time she had gotten there. Running up the stands she finally saw a group of Gryffindors and Kurumi and Bentley. She waved spastically at the pair and sat beside them, "Hey... what did I miss?"

Even though she felt a bit sorry for not trying out for the team, Gwendolyn thought she had to be there to support her house. As she rushed to get in time to the stands, she couldn’t help hearing the Slytherins getting overly excited. Well, if they wouldn’t have played against Ravenclaw, she would have cheered for them too. But under these circumstances… ‘GOOOO RAVENCLAW!!!’, the third year cheered.

As she looked around, the third year noticed two of the Professors were already there. ‘Professor Bentley. Professor Romanos’, she said with a nod. Formal enough, right?, the girl asked herself and then tried finding a seat. Well, not exactly near the Slytherins… because it would be odd cheering for different houses… While scanning the place, something blue cough her eye.

WHAT.IN.MERLIN’S.NAME.IS.THAT????

A sombrero??? Blue maracas??? WHYYY?, the third year thought, looking really puzzled. Even though she tried not to, Gwen couldn’t help laughing. That kid totally made her day.

Selena heard a person screaming kinda Go Ravenclaw and the tiny Slytherin turned to see a GIANT blur hat and blinked in confusion. Just... what? "Psssst.... you're wearing the wrong colors," Selena called out to the boy. Because it was OBVIOUS that this place was supposed to be covered in one color only - green. For all the epic Slytherins. Or Awesometastical, as she liked to call them. After all, it was HER house and HER word - it just made sense.

Selena took another bite out of her chocolate bar and patted the violet pygmy puff on her head before waving her flag again.

"SLYTHERIN RULES! WOOOT. GO SLYTHERIN!"

Yeah. Take THAT you Ravenclaw person. Was the kid even a Ravenclaw? Psht. Who cares? Slytherin was going to CREEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAM the birdies. And hopefully turn them into chocolate. So Selena could eat them. Or attempt to feed them to Kent.

Good day indeed. Then Messer frowned when he heard that the DADA Professor was cheering for Slytherin. "I see. Then we're in the different team then, Professor." Too bad!

"I'm fine, Ma'am. How are you?" he asked while fixing his sombrero. He should asked his grandma a smaller one. This one its little too big.

YAY! Even though Professor Romanos is cheering for the Snakes at least Professor Bentley is cheering for Ravenclaw. "YES! I'm looking forward to it." GO EAT THOSE SNAKE, ELLIEEEEE..!!!

Messer eyes went to a new arrival. Its the same girl who gave him a shirt back at the Diagon Alley. What's her name again? Selena? Selani? Oh yeah "Hey, Selina!" he waved using his maracas. "You haven't miss anything. They just announced the roster." he said.

Messer turned his gaze to one of the loud Slytherin. "No, I'm actually wearing the right color." She's the one who wore the wrong color because Ravenclaw gonna squish the snakes today. Even though he's not an Eagle but still Ravenclaw FTW..!!

He stood up before he shouted "GOOOOOOOOOOO RAVENCLAW..!!" and stroked his maracas.

Aurora climbed up to the stands with her signature green and silver ribbons in her hands. She got to the seats and gazed around for someone she knew. Whilst she was looking she tied her red curls into high bunches with the ribbons. QUIDDITCH!! She was pretty excited for the first game of the season.

And now... the game had officially started. No points yet, but Jayden was hoping for a win. They needed to win the house cup this year. No if ands or buts about it.

"Thanks for the scarf." Jayden blushed, looking up at Cael before turning back to the game. Jayden loved Quidditch and was thinking that next year was going to be the one where she tried out.

"Come on 'claws!!" She cheered, waving her blue foam finger that she had bought over the summer. This was going to be a great game!

He was late and he knew it. People seemed to have started their cheering already and... they were LOUD! So loud that they made him grasp his bag of gummy bears extra tightly. No gummy bears were going to die today! No no no!

Alec started walking up the stairs of the stands, his eyes shifting between the bag in his hands and his feet. The gummy bears needed to be as safe as possible until he was safely sat down in a seat. Maybe somewhere that was close to someone he knew.

Finally! A seat! The twelve year old grinned as he edged along the row and sat down. He ripped open the bag and sat back. Gummy bears and Quidditch! And he had some more sweets in his bag. This was going to be a very good match, indeed!

Jordan shivered slightly as he made his way into the stands, he recognised the familiar screech I mean shout of one Jayden Troutwater who was with Cael! He hadn't seen them in ages! He crept up to them, Sticking his head between them and yelling "COME ON RAVENCLAW!" in greeting, hoping they wouldn't attack him.

Ella saw a younger looking boy sitting close by. Another first year maybe?! She smiled at him, wondering why they hadn't met yet. "Hi, I'm Ella." She said smiling. "Big quidditch fan?"

As the game began, Keefer took out his notebook and began to scribble which players were in which positions. He had trouble writing anything else, as the flow of the game was interrupted three times by penalties in the first two minutes. What an odd game this is so far... He hoped it would settle down. This was the first match of the season, after all. Jitters were bound to be running high.

Alec blinked down at the pitch. So many penalties were given out! Surely people knew how to play this game! He plopped a gummy bear in his mouth as he watched on. The blue team seemed to be winning... Poor Asher. That boy wasn't going to like this at all. And speaking of Asher... wasn't he meant to be playing?

But before Alec could look around properly, someone seemed to be talking to him. Tearing his eyes away from the pitch, he looked to his side and saw a girl who seemed to be just as young as him. Maybe.

"Nice to meet you Ella," It was a nice name! "I'm Alec, Alec Summers." Ella didn't need to know his surname but right now, he was too used to giving that little piece of information out. "Yeah, I love Quidditch!" Erm... I'm on the Hufflepuff Team, actually," Alec should not have said that either. "Are you?" If she was, they could have a nice long chat about Quidditch! Yay! "Oh, do you want a gummy bear?" he asked, holding the bag out towards the girl.

Ella smiled. "Nice to meet you too Alec!" Alec Summers...what a great name! Ella's favorite season was summer so she'd definitely remember it. "I love Quidditch too!" Ella said excitedly. "Congrats on making the team! I'm not on it, too afraid to try out this year." She frowned a little at this. She really wished she had given tryouts a go. "Next year I will try though. You must be excited to play!" She looked down at the bag and nodded enthusiastically. "Sure, I love gummy bears." She loved any candy actually. Truth be told she loved food in general. "Who are you rooting for?" Ella turned her attention to the pitch while waiting for his answer.

Lily had bundled up warmly for the first match of the season, her first ever match to watch. She knew that Taylor was on the Ravenclaw team, but wasn't sure whether she would be playing or not. As she walked up into the stands, Lily looked around for somewhere to sit, preferably with someone she knew. She spotted Lilly, and headed up to go sit. As she walked up the steps, she noticed that the match had already begun. Once she reached where Lilly was sitting, Lily spoke up. "Hey Lilly, mind if I sit here?" indicating to the seat next to Lilly. "I'm so excited!!" Lily grinned widely, even though it wasn't exactly visible due to her Ravenclaw scarf around her neck.

She was looking toward Professor Bentley and Kurumi when suddenly she heard a tiny voice call to her from the other end of the stands. The redhead turned her head with her hands in her pockets to see Messer, the 'Puff who had been quite the talk of the school as of late, yelling to her the status of the game. Selina nodded at the Hufflepuff and yelled back over to him, "Thanks Messer!"

Then she heard a tweet and the game had begun. It seemed that Selina had shown up just in time.

Scratch... scratch... scratch...

Alec grinned at sight of the boy sitting not too far away from him. A boy who seemed to be busy scratching away in his notebook. That red hair was very very familiar! It was hard to mistake this older boy for someone else. After all, he had just seen this boy not too long ago!

"Someone seems very prepared!" he said, grinning at the boy, "Does Captain Keefer want some gummy bears?" And with this, he held out his hand that was clutching the open bag.

Alec grinned. This girl seemed nice. And a little excited as well. Not that he minded, of course. It was better than Ella being... upset and in a crying mood.

"It's a great game," he said, "Do you go to Quidditch matches often, then?" This was his first time coming to a match properly... and he loved it! "Thanks! he said, grinning, "You should have tried out! I can imagine you being great at the game!" ... He could have kicked himself for saying that last bit. "I am!" he said, "Truth be told, I'm a little nervous as well. The game's really, really soon!" And it was his first time playing this game properly. GULP!

Alec smiled. She loved gummy bears as well! How great was this? "Feel free to take however much you want to take," he said, putting the bag down on the armrest between himself and Ella. "I dunno," he said, "I was about to go for Slytherin but my friend, Asher, isn't playing so i'm neutral today. But it looks like the Ravenclaws seem to be winning!" A blue person seemed to have caught the snitch before the green person. "What about you?"

Anya looked... and looked... and looked. But she was seriously lost again. They should have agreed to meet somewhere specific... not just in the stands.

And then she needed to get a map... or compass... or put some kind of trace on Alec. Or possibly a combination of all those things.

But she finally spotted him! She grinned and slipped into the seat next to him. "I brought the hot chocolate." she said holding up a thermos. "And you got the gummy bears. Brilliant." she said happily.

She was already pouring their hot chocolate when she noticed that they weren't alone. "Err... Hello..."

She tilted her head and glanced at Alec. She... wasn't interrupting anything, was she? She just assumed they'd be watching the match together.
