Ethan smiled just a little brighter. Maybe she wasn't hurt as badly as he had thought.. which was quite a relief for him, though he was still going to keep an eye on her just to make sure. "It was pretty exciting.." he agreed with a nod. "And you played really well too.. I was glad to be able to see you play." The boy paused, taking a deep breath before adding, "Even though I have to admit I was a little worried." Okay, a lot worried.. but he didn't want her to think he didn't have a good time because he was so anxious.. he did have a good time in spite of it.

His smile lowered just slightly at Minerva's words and he nodded gently. "If you're sure.." he started, not quite believing she was perfectly okay.. though she was right. She was up and moving around, at least she wasn't unconscious.. "How's your head?" That had to be hurting after her collision. "I do have some headache potion in the dorm if you need it.."

He looked into her blue eyes as she leaned a little closer and he smiled over to her. "I do like sitting with you in the stands and I think you do a great job commentating.." he began, then sighed a little. "But you're pretty amazing with the beater's bat too.. I know you enjoy playing," he added with a smile. Just the worry got to him.. but he didn't want that to deter her from playing if that was what she wanted to do. "Umm.. sure," he said, glancing over at the table laden with treats. When wasn't he hungry? Haha.. "I'll get us some cupcakes.. you just sit and rest," he said, giving her a soft kiss on the cheek as he rose from his seat.


Ethan made his way over to the cupcake table and grabbed two, one for himself and one for Minnie. As he walked back, he saw Harvey in conversation with Minnie. Handing her one of the cupcakes, he resumed sitting in his seat next to her and gave Harvey a grateful smile. He was the one to help keep Ethan's sanity during the game after all. "Good to see you again Harvs.. Nice sitting with you at the game.." And, to be honest, he was kind of glad it was over.. and now they could have fun at the party.

Theo blinked at him. For a good five seconds. Was there something wrong with him? Not one rude bone in his body? Theo felt as if he WANTED Harvey to snap at him. Heck, he totally deserved it. But the nicer he was, the meaner Theo would be.

Sorry.......
.........Nawt.

"Yeah... I just don't like other people touching my food. It's disgusting." The boy shrugged. Technically, he did ask Harvey to get them, but that wasn't the point anymore. The point had moved on. But it WAS true, he didn't like touchy-people, especially Ravenclaws.

Pfft..... telling him what to do.... "Maybe I WILL give them to her." He snapped. Pfft...

o____________O

"S'cuse me......?!" How rude! Sure, Theo and Lex hardly got on at all, but that was pretty much only because she was an annoying Gryffindor. Honestly! He didn't like anyone who wasn't in Slytherin or Hufflepuff, okay?!

"You're ruuuuuuuuuuuuuder and gross."

Take that.

As well as a dash of Slytherin wrath. BOOYAH. :sup:

And she had spotted them, so he beamed, and when she waved them over, Theo cut STRAIGHT in front of Harvey, blocking his path.

"Hiiiiiiii, well done on your game!" And he hugged her. Oh yeah. Take that, silly Ravenclaw.

HE HUGGED YO' GURL.

TRY AND BE NICE ABOUT THAT.

Bliss looked around the party, it was so filled her people now and she was surprised with the amount of people saying hello and congratulating them. She first stopped Ella and she waved at her. "Hey, Ella! Well done," she said to her third year, as she hadn't been able to earlier.

MEGA BEAM.

Next, Bliss stopped Theo, looking mildly...annoyed? EH. Oh well. The happy little Hufflepuff decided to greet him anyway. Like it or not. "Hello, Theodore," she called happily and gave her a small wave and a MEGA BEAM. Yeah, that should cheer him up now, shouldn't it.

The Second Yeah carried on moving through the people, smiling and waving at them all. Then she noticed her good little Gryffindor friend, Alexa. She grinned at her and walked over. "Hey, Lexy," she said and pulled her into a hug, trying not to wince as pain shot through her wrist. It was still sore after her fall.

POUT.

Oh. Minnie, Bliss thought, spotting the girl and walking over to her. This had been the third Quidditch match Bliss had ever played in and the first with Minnie and she had been surprised by how good Minnie was. She saw amazing. If Minnie's commentating wasn't so good, Bliss would want her to be on the team more often!

"Hey Minnie," she said with a smiled, "you did really well!"

BEAAAAAM.

MORE PEOPLE. Lots more people came in and Bliss waved at them all. She just loved people, okay? As Bliss was waving at any random person that walked in, she spotted her new friend, Alice! "ALICE!" She called over and beamed. "Heyyyyyy!"

MEGA BEAM for this girl too.

And still more people flooded into the tent. Lucky for Bliss, she smiled a lot, so the BEAM that was currently plastered to her face, was no real problem for her. Walking around, she noticed something else. One of the Professors, and she had congratulated them. "Thank you, Professor," Bliss said awkwardly and smiled at the Professor.

"Yeah they really did!" She lied. The kid was still bitter about the whole thing. There were people on the Hufflepuff team that she liked, she thought they were cool but she wanted Ravenclaw to win. "I'm just glad it's all over now and we can have some fun." Referring to this party of course. Lex was still a little puzzled as to why Theo kept looking at the girl like that but she wouldn't bring it up. The boy was touchy.



-____-

"Point. Proven." She said, turning to him slowly. "I wasn't even talking to you and you decided to be all ruuuude by butting in anyway." If that wasn't rude then her name wasn't Alexa. It seemed the boy was made to argue. He had a problem with everything and everyone. How Seri managed to kiss him was beyond her; love potion or no love potion.

"And pffft, you're the definition of gross. No one's grosser than you." The occasional argument she could tolerate but when it got to 'Theo Level' it was time to get annoyed.



Lex beamed at Bliss when she pulled her into a hug but her expression quickly dropped. Something was wrong with the hug. Suddenly she remembered the girl's collision with the stands. "Are you okay, Blissy?" Anyone who hit into the stands the way she did would be in at least some amount of pain. "You didn't get hurt too badly in the game did you?" Quidditch was naturally a violent sport but she drew the line at a serious injury on one of her friends. The average person sure, but not her friends.

Ooohh looky! One her Lions was here to celebrate as well. How nice.
"Oh heavens no, I am a former Ravenclaw after all... who were you supporting?" Though in all honesty, they ALL deserved a big fancy party with, wait...was that a cupcake?
"Oh yes please!" Because really? WHO could possibly say no to a cupcake?



"You're very welcome dear, how are you feeling?"
She could only imagine... the girl was probably elated, ecstatic, on a high from the adrenalin. That was the great thing about Quidditch, even if you weren't playing in it, you still felt the same emotions. Seren could still feel her finger tips tingling from the excitement.



"Not at all... thank YOU, it was a sensational game," she replied, smiling brightly. Hufflepuff's sure knew how to put on a show, that was certain.

Rearranging a bit
 

Harvey smiled as he saw Professor Bentley walk into the tent, he was happy to see her congratulating the badgers cause really they had done a good job even if it was against the claws "Hi Professor Bentley, its good to see you. How are you? Looking forward to the summer holidays?" of course she was! who wouldnt be?! he had plans with Ella so he was all set and he was sure that Minnie had plans with Ethan too.. so everyone was all ready to enter the summer break.



He saw her make a face and wondered what that face was for, what had he said that resulted in her making that face? His question was answered next "Well until proven otherwise I always see them as good people, unless he pulls his wand out and does something completely horrible.. he is not a bad guy. Just.. he takes a little getting used to but.. afterwards he aint that horrible!" he said smiling as he heard her next argument "Good!" he said not wanting her to have problems with who he talked to! "Terrib... Alexa.. he is not terrible.. nor is he rude or mean! He might come across that way but he isnt really" gosh were all first years quick to judge! at least TRY to get to know him first before passing judgement on what type of guy he was! He watched her munch on her cupcake.



He looked over as someone called to him and saw it was Ethan.. heeyyyy it was Ethan.. told you he would be there soon Mins! Aha! he was right! "Good to see you too Ethan, it was nice sitting with you too!" he smiled and nodded "Well we can finally say the puffs have beaten the claws." he smiled and then leaned in close to Ethan "I just hope we dont have to do what the girls tells us to do, oh no.. dont get me wrong I mean I would love to anything she tells me.. but you never know what crazy tasks these girls might come up with" he chuckled as he moved back to his normal position and just smiled at Minnie.. noo.. he was not saying anything to Ethan.



Harvey nodded along as Theodore talked about him not liking other people touching his food.. he just stood there for a moment since it was Theodore that said to get them.. and then shrugged it off "Umm.. ok. thats not a problem.. umm when we walk that way you can just grab a couple more" he said to the boy, he then smiled as he seemed to agree about giving the cupcakes to Ella "Ok.. thats fine with me.. she will like that you did" he smiled at the boy.. who didnt seem to be as happy with him as he was. He then listened as Alexa and Theodore didnt seem to be getting along very well.. so he looked around and saw Ella waving them over, he was about to walk towards Ella when Theodore just rushed forwards and hugged Ella!! Umm he DID know that she might be a bit sore yeah? be a little gentler. So he just grabbed the two cupcakes and he too walked over to Ella "Hi CandyGurl.. great game out there" he said grinning at her as he held the cupcakes in his hand.

Oakellaaa!! Mostly Oakey though, for some 'odd' reason =P
 

everyoooooone :3
 

So Hufflepuff won...

Kat felt happy for her Puff friends but at the same time, real sorry for her Claw friends.

Well, the Puffers did a good job if Kat had to be honest. They had a really good seeker, by the name of Alec that is? A really... uhmmm, wild Keeper who is weirdly a first year. And really awesome Chasers. It was a bit sad that Nessie didn't play. But Milton Shackly-bolt didn't play either. So it was all even.

Kat entered the tent and so a loooooot of people. The bright side, she is not claustrophobic.

Awks. She didn't know where to go so like... LOOK AROUND. Maybe she should look for Blue and congratulate her for a really nice game. I mean, Blue hit all the bludgers... maybe. So like... yeah.

Awkwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard.

Oakey was going to try and argue back more to Ella who by now had won the argument! Leaving Oakey to accept maybe Sophie did like him to.

MERLIN THERE SHE WAS NOW! She looked so determined, like she was on a mission! She was gonna yell at him, for calling on her at the end of the match.

JUST LOOK AT HER! RED WITH ANGER!

He winced as she she came within inches of him and put her arms around him. He could feel himself falling backwards from his chair and the kiss she just planted right on him didn't help either. Their faces still fully connected by the mouths and holding onto Sophie tightly they toppled to the ground. Oakey finally release himself from Sophie.
..."Wow!"
was that all he had to say...
"Soooo ummm, how bout that Ice Cream?" He said turning his head and giving Sophie the most sincere smile.

Sorry.. all responses are short..
 

Minerva smiled at Harvey, "Well I'm glad he had someone to sit with. Not that he doesn't have other friends, but I guess it was nice being with someone that had a puff girlfriend." She gave a faint smile. She blushed at the thought of the tree. "If it's okay with you, could we not tell Ethan about the game of Chicken I like to play with that tree. I don't need him worrying about that as well." She hadn't played all term with that tree, so there was no reason to bring it up. Trying to laugh she cringed as it hurt her head. "Yes, we are both fine. We are strong puffs." She then smiled towards Ella.



Minerva heard a professors voice and looked up. "Hello Professor Bentley, it's great seeing you here." She hadn't seen the professor well since that horrible day. She looked at her with a bit of concern, "How are you doing professor?" She knew that greenhouse had to have been traumatic for her. She then thought it was very nice of her to tell them they did a great job, "Well thanks Professor, both teams played amazing today."




Minerva tried to laugh but winced from her head hurting, "Yeah I guess we like hitting the stands.. Well I guess not like, because it hurts, but it happens. So it's just part of the risk of quidditch." Does that make sense, Minerva wasn't sure if it did or not. She couldn't help but smile at Alexa's next comment, "Yes I can't say that I'm not ready for a break. Summer has looked better and better lately. It will be nice to get away. I hope you have a great summer. Don't forget about us while your home.' She chuckled a bit and smiled at her friend.



Minerva smiled at Ella, she seemed in a great mood and that was great, because all the Puffs should be in a great mood. It was a great day for them. "Hey Ella, yes I think I'll live..." She could use some good meds for her headache, but she would survive. "How are you feeling?" She felt bad not being able to stop that bludger that had hit Ella. That was her job to protect the chasers and she didn't do it. "You were awesome today." Of course Ella was awesome, she was always a great player.



Minerva blushed at his words, "I was so nervous, I thought I was going to be sick. Plus I was rusty, I could have done better. I let the bludger hit Ella. that was just no good." Minerva frowned and looked down, she was mad at herself for letting that happen. She then felt herself want to say awww as he admitted being nervous, "I don't want you to be nervous and worry about me. I'm fine.. see." She gave a weak smile and then let it fall a bit, "To be honest, my head is killing me. Everything is a bit loud at the moment, but I'll deal with it. I want to be here." She then liked the sound of his next words, "If you could spare some of that potion I would be very grateful." Anything to stop this pounding.

Minerva listened as he spoke about her announcing and her playing, she grinned a little. "I don't know what I'll do, but that's next term. Let's get through the end of the term and have some fun this summer." Yes she was ready for some fun and relaxing this summer. She was nervous what that meant with seeing Ethan, but it will be nice to have a break. She watched as Ethan went to get them food, she wasn't sure if eating would make her sick form her head hurting or not, but she had to try. When he kissed her cheek she smiled, this was nice to have someone that cared so much. When he came back with the cupcakes she took one, "Thank you.. Ethan you are just wonderful." She couldn't help saying it, but she could see how much he cared and how much he wanted to help her.



Then she heard Bliss and smiled, "Hey Bliss.. You did fantastic as well. How are you feeling? That crash into the stands looked pretty hard. Did you get hurt?" Minerva worried about her friends and wanted to make sure they were all alright.

The tent was slowly filling up with students and a few staff members had already arrived by the time Professor Vindictus arrived with the scouts and media in tow. The first adult he saw was the head of Gryffindor. "Professor Bentley!" he greeted her cheerfully and moved towards her with the media and scouts trailing him.

“Thanks Bliss! You were brilliant as well!” Ella said excitedly, giving her teammate a hug and a smile. Bliss had played awesome AND she was okay after a lot of being thrown around out there! Ella was happy to see her alive and well!

“I’m glad we can have some fun now too!” Ella said to Alexa, nodding her head. She was exhausted truthfully but she wouldn’t say no to celebrating their win... They earned this!

Awww! Professor Bentley was so nice. “I’m feeling…” How exactly could Ella put into words how she was feeling right now? “I feel like I just had the best and biggest ice cream sundae ever!” Yup, that’s how she felt right now. Happy and bouncy and full…of excitement. “I’m just really happy.”

And Minnie! "I'm glad you're good! I feel great, actually!" BEAM. BEAM. BEAM. "Noo....we were all great out there!"

O__O And there was Theo! Boy, he was quick to get over to her. She smiled at her friend, excited that he was at the party. “Thanks, Theo! I heard you cheering!” Oh! And a hug? BEAM! After giving him a gentle squeeze, Ella smiled at Theoman. “I’m really glad you and Harvey are getting along…”

And speaking of Harvey…He was here…and with cupcakes! BEAM! “HARVS!” She said, running at him and stopping short when she noticed the cupcakes. “You brought me food?” BEAM! This earned him a kiss on the cheek. “I heard you cheering as well, y’know!” And she was really glad to see him. Could he tell?

…

HOLD THE PHONE!

Hgfodghlsdhgkdsfhgldfkhgkdflhgldfskhgldfshgdfslgk

Sophie…had just kissed Oakey…on the lips…

O__________O

Ella just stood there for a minute…completely stunned.

And then she started giggling uncontrollably and cupped a hand over her mouth as SOAKEY fell over. GIGGLE!BEAM

…”It’s about time, y’know.” She said seriously, looking down at them.

It was nice to see so many familiar faces, but, considering she taught these faces, it wasn't all that surprising. Seren was still clearly feeling the effects of the adrenalin from watching the game.
"Harvey, it's good to see you too. I trust you've been keeping well?"

She cast her eyes across the tent, just observing.
"Oh absolutely, it's always nice to have a break, keeps things fresh... and in perspective." It made her realise how much she missed a certain someone.



"They did indeed, it was a great result for a Campionship Match, couldn't have been more exciting." ... Unless they introduced pixies or dragons to the pitch, because that would have been MORE interesting to an extent.
"I've been... well. And yourself? Looking forward to the holidays?"



The BEST sundae ever. Yeah, that's a pretty good feeling, Seren could certainly relate.
"Good! Enjoy it, and have a great time partying!... That's an order," she added, smiling brightly.

The vibe of the room was infectious. She couldn't help but smile and be happy with everyone else.




She'd been wondering where the man of the match was hiding when she heard his booming voice from behind her. Maximus Vindictus. If he hadn't have used her title, she'd have thought she was back at school and in trouble again. Fortunately for her, she wasn't.
"Professor Vindictus," she greeted brightly in return, "the Eagles played so well." Even if they didn't win. But you couldn't win them all.
She noticed the people... official looking people following her colleague.
"Nice entourage," she commented.

And Ellaaa!
 

WHAT.

What in Merlin's BEARD had she DONE?? MERLIN!! And Oakey was probably as shocked as her, since they both stumbled and were now on the floor. Greeeeeeeeeat. So much for NOT calling anyone's attentionnn!! Meep!

Sophie's face was still red as she quickly got up sweeping the dirt off her robes. "Sorry." She added, still eyeing her outfit, holding back some giggles as Ella herself started giggling right next to them.

The fourteen year-old glanced at Oakey with a wide smile, yet she could still feel her cheeks burn. "Sounds great!" She said simply, fighting off the awkwardness. This felt odd... but not in a bad way.

Though Ella's comment didn't help at aalll!! Sophie giggled and tried to shake off the redness in her face, but that was a difficult task at the moment.

Right, so that was still a bit awkward. What should she do now? SHE HAD NO IDEA! Just go on with her life, yes? Like if nothing had happened?

No wait, that sounded a bit silly. But really, she did not know what to do now.

"Um... Cupcakes?"

"Thank you," Vindictus said and he nodded at his little entourage. "I'll let the team know that you were out there cheering for them today. Max performed well, today, didn't he? I know that there are some scouts here eager to speak with him and a few others."


He purposely avoided answering the reason why there were a few members of the media present.

This time the woman got a genuine smile.

FINALLY.

"I was cheering for Vivi...but I guess by extension that meant the Ravenclaw team too." It was just that simple. The team itself meant nothing to her but her Mama Vivi was enough reason for her to paint her entire face blue. Her smile widened at her enthusiasm for the cupcake. Much better than most of the Professors here!. Lex handed her one. "Here you go!" BEAM.

Aaaaand question. "YouWereARavenclaw?!?!?" But...but...but...



Ah, so he was one of those people who had to be tricked and mistreated before they admitted to the bad in others. Well it was his funeral. She wouldn't tell him how to run his day to day interactions. Ravenclaws were supposed to be smart so he must have known what he was doing. Having decided on this she was set to change the subject when he said the most outrageous thing. "Yes. He. Is. You don't know him very well--neither do I and I don't want to because he has a mean spirit and he's always saying ruuude things. And I know he means it too!" It was obvious he did. "He doesn't care about people's feelings unless they're Slytherins and the last I checked you were a Ravvie so open your eyes man!" Be a smart Claw!



Lex nodded. "I get it...kinda like when you see something fun but you know you'll get in trouble for it. You know you'll get busted but at the same time you have to do it." Yup. She was totally understanding. Who said she was dumb? The girl nearly choked on the next thing Minnie said. "Seriously?! How could I? This place is pure magic and so are the people in it!" Forgetting was NOT an option, it wasn't even a possibility. She tried to imagine forgetting any of these people, whether she liked them or not and well...it just didn't seem possible. From her very favourite person to her least favourite, they all had a special spot in her brain where she would keep them. Especially the seventh years...some of them anyway.

....

Ummm....

Media people...

Lex looked up at the Professor curiously. "Professor...? Did you win some sort of award that we should know about?" Anything he'd done that was note worthy or something? Yes?

Now Lex had a question for the girl who seemed a bit tired. "Are we still going to the zoo over the summer?" It'd slipped her mind for most of the past few months but now that she remembered she wanted to confirm it. Here's to hoping the girl remembered that she agreed to leave the boyfriend behind.

"Oh that's lovely, I'm sure she appreciated it... and the team too." Every supporter counted, it jut made you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.
"Thanks," she added as she took the cupcake, already devouring it with her eyes. So hungry.

After taking a big bite and half chewing it before she swallowed the sweet treat, Seren couldn't help but smirk just a little. "I sure was, Professor Vindictus was my Head of House when I was at school. So it goes to show you how much experience some of our staff have."




"Oh yes, please do."
Even if she was head of the Lion camp now, she was still a Claw at heart.
"He's a strong player, and did really well considering the loss."
Scouts. How exciting. And frankly, they'd be trolls if they didn't consider the boy, not to mention half of the lot that played today.

*drags Vivi and Max along*
 

After having put the mic and all other things away, Kurumi figured that she ought to attend this party because 1. she had never been to one before in all her terms at Hogwarts. 2. She had been a Quidditch announcer this term and announced in the Championship match 3. It was one last experience she could enjoy at Hogwarts before...everything was over.

Along the way she had run into Vivi and Max who had been a little resistant to the whole party idea. Not that she could blame them, but she didn't want her fellow seventh years missing out on one last experience. Besides, with the trail of media that was following Professor Vindictus around there was bound to be something exciting.

"Come on you two," Kurumi said as she adjusted her arms so they were wrapped around their backs instead of through their arms. "I know you are depressed about the match, and you have every right to be, but think of this as one last little adventure. Once last memory to make. I'm not letting you guys deny yourselves that. So...let's go get something to eat and drink and enjoy ourselves because you both played brilliantly." No arguing. Either of them. They both had been brilliant and Kurumi would throw a waffle at them if they said otherwise. Erm, quaffle at them...assuming one of those was around.

And WOW there were a lot of people here already...

Sierra peeked inside the tent.

This was Puffer territory today. She questioned whether or not she'd actually fit in. Probably not, but...oh! There were cupcakes. She'd just head over there, help herself to one, and pretend like she was here to celebrate with the Puffs.

She bit down on the cupcake and gave a casual glance around the room. Was that the media here?! Oh, she should stop stuffing her face in case they took a photo of the events around the room.

Hmm... What to do? She should go find her brother and congratulate him on the win. It'd be something better to do than standing here like a knot on a log.

Vivi was at this party for three reasons. One, Prof V had asked them pretty nicely, and even if she found his sunglasses ridiculous for a man his age, she was a big fan of his and felt all sorts of crazy loyalty. It helped she'd known him since she was a baby, but whatever... she'd do what he asked. He was her Head of House.

Two was because she was the Mama Chaser and she had to bring along her baby birds. That explained the iron grip on Max and Beezus both, who got dragged along to the tent. They were going to be good sports and smile and shake hands and remind people that they'd lost the game but that they were a flipping awesome team this term. Mama Chaser said so.

And three, there was free food and lots of it. When in doubt, stuff cupcakes in your mouth until the sad went away. Beezus needed more cupcakes than anyone else, it was obvious.

"We're not depressed. We're..." Vivi eyed the cupcakes. "Hungry to prove ourselves again next year. Very hungry."

She waved broadly at Prof V, and then at her lovely little Baby Lion. When was it polite to start eating?

Max wasn't too psyched to be dragged along to the Quidditch Cup party. The Quidditch Cup they had lost.

But Kurumi was fierce and determined and Max didn't have the heart to break away from her, Vivi, or Beezus. Even if he didn't have the badge to prove it, he HAD been the captain of the team for the majority of the term, so he needed to play the part. He needed to be a good leader and show good sportsmanship. He was lucky he had the girls to drag him along; otherwise, he would've been back at the castle by now.

Trying not to make eye contact with too many people, the Ravenclaw Keeper stayed close to Vivi. She was his closest friend on the team; he felt... oddly comfortable around her, especially since they were the only two on the team who would be leaving.

That hurt.

When Kurumi spoke, Max scrunched up his nose at her. Was he depressed? Probably. Did he appreciate her pointing that out? Not really. But... one last memory, one last adventure. Those were good thoughts.

Food was a good thought, too. "I could eat all of those cupcakes," he stated flatly. Could he... go be a good sport and congratulate the other team AFTER he ate some of them?

Ella and Sophie...and looks at the media people
 

Oakey sat up on the ground and lifted the chair up with him.
He gave a Ella a a much needed Sour Lemon Glare at her comment."I'm sure you had galleons down as to how long until it would happen too?" Silly Girl must have made a fortune.

It was a good thing that Sophie laid one on him before Professor Vindictus came into the tent! Just look at all of those people behind him, scouts and media and what not! Harvey wasn't in there was he? Merlin he hoped not. He should be off somewhere else at some other training camp scouting some one else.

He looked at Sophie putting a smile back on his face and standing up, "We can share this cupcake" Oakey snagged the cupcake that Ella had offered him earlier. and pushed it over to Sophie.

Vindictus was about to say something when he noticed that Max and Vivi had arrived. "Excuse me, Professor Bentley. I need to, erm, speak with Max and Vivi," he said politely and he moved towards the two Ravenclaws and his entourage followed.

"Max and Vivi," he said as he approached them and motioned for the photographer to step forward. "I want Zed to take a photo of the three of us."

"I hope she did!! I tried starting a wave for her too...but...that didn't go so well..." Apparently no one took you seriously until you got to a certain height...and really she didn't care how the team felt about her cheering because it was only half meant for them anyway. "This was her last match, I wanted it to be special," but not only did they NOT win, no one wanted to help her cheer for them. Hmph!

Her mouth hung in shock as her eyes flashed to Professor Vindictus before resting on the woman again. By now she nearly choked on the cupcake. That...but then...and wouldn't it mean...

O_____O

She wouldn't even question it. "Umm...yes...experience..." Sure, find a nice way of saying it. "So then...why did you become the Head of House for Gryffindor?" It was a rather curious thing.

She whipped around when she heard the voice of her favourite Ravenclaw...well...of her favourite person really. House didn't matter 'cause she still won in that category. She frowned a bit. Why was Vivi looking so not happy after that bit of happiness that she displayed while she was on the pitch. Instinctively the 11 year old eyed Kurumi. The Prefect must have done something terribly annoying to upset her. SIGH. When would she learn not to annoy others?

Oh but now she was waving. Lex forced on a smile and waaaaved back. She'd be keeping an eye on them for the rest of the event. Just to make sure Kurumi didn't do anything else to upset her Mama Vivi.
