"Watson and Mary are what I call Selina and Giddy," she dropped back to her seat and offered a weary smile. The cold was really wearing her down today, and she pulled her coat up around her ears to warm up a bit. "And I'm Sherlock. We're solving a mystery together."

Or they HAD been, but it was ages and ages since they'd had new clues.

She glanced sideways at the professor, who didn't seem to have heard her. "It's okay," she leaned in and whispered to Lex. "I don't take her class."

Dylan watched the game as the game went on and he frowned as Tag, that was his name right... yeah Tag was hit by a bludger "ROAR!! We will get them back Tag you just watch!" he screamed across to him as he watched on. Soon after that he continued watching as another lion tried to get a score on the board and failed to get one, he was hoping another of his roars would help "ROAR!!" he said as he continued to watch and dance to see if that helped his lions. He then realised that his fellow Lions seemed to be doing well so it was cause of his roaring that they were doing well right? well it seemed that way as he watched as Penelope rushed forwards for her snitch and he seemed to be bouncing on the spot as if wanting her to get that snitch .. and he watched and jumped up and down as she got the snitch "YES!! Whooo!! We got a snitch! We got a snitch!! oh yeah!!!" he said still jumping up and down and doing his little dance again.

She then asked who she was and he looked out and pointed her out just as she seemed to be getting back into the game "There she is, Bishop! Third year hufflepuff and my pretty girlfriend." he said as he got back to watching her again and he heard Minnie call out his name. He looked at her and smiled at her after the small heart attack her had over Ella losing control of her broom he nodded at Minnie "I think she is too" he said as he watched the game and laughed as Minnie mentioned raining gummy worms, that was for sure. He would be showering her with gummy worms after this match was over. He nodded as she talked about the beaters "I know right!? they need to be protecting Ell.. I mean their team members" he said as he looked at her "Seeker? well.. yes I guess they could.. not harming the seeker too badly of course." cause no matter what team they were on they didnt needed to be injured badly. He smiled as Ella seemed to be back into the game and doing well "Whooo.. Go... you guys!! and Ella!!" he said as he put a hand to his badge discretely, the very badge that sat over his heart.

No need to thank her. Thank Hufflepuff for being blindingly yellow.

Oh. She followed his line of sight and saw the blonde girl. Ella Bishop, apparently. Third year, huh? Mmmhmm, yeah, boy, we already know she's your girlfriend, but thanks for pointing it out again, really.

"The blonde, yeah?" she said, eyes on the Chaser for a moment, before her eyes returned to some annoying loose thread on her left sleeve. Could this day get any worse??

OH. It could. Because the Gryffindor Seeker got the snitch this time around.

Wouldn't have happened IF the Beaters were doing their job, you know? Just sayiiiiiing.

"Exactly. I agree. Or, well, yeah let's agree with you on the Beaters part." She didn't need to agree on anything else. Except, probably, on the team they were supporting. Not that she was saying she was supporting 'Hufflepuff', for real.

Though, on second thought, that was better than saying she was supporting the sport, which was farther from the truth.

"My name's Lotus, by the way," she smiled, a nice smile, or as nice as she could muster with all the loudness going around. And the loss of that snitch.

Max grinned, "I know. Sorry." But he really wasn't. And he nodded once at her next inquiry, "Yeah. Slytherin's out. Everyone but the winner of the Cup will lose twice." It kind of stunk, but at least the first loss didn't mean one was doomed to lose the chance at the Cup, right? They just had to... not lose ever again for the remainder term, which was the dilemma Ravenclaw was facing.

Ugh. Ella. Max frowned up at his little Hufflepuff friend. She was just a poor little bludger magnet, wasn't she? "Her beaters aren't doing a good job of protecting her," he growled. "Same thing with when you guys played against us - didn't she get beat up a lot, then, too?" He sighed. "Poor kid." She was his favorite of the younger ones, next to weirdos Aidan and Ashby.

...........

He heard his name. Max's head whipped around and his eyes locked with the commentator, and then... his entire face flooded with red when he realized what she was saying. He frowned as Emmaleigh tried to create some distance between them and he whispered sadly, "Are you embarrassed to be with me?" Or... was it just the fact that everyone nearby had turned to look at them?

But that didn't mean Em had to pull away from him and make him look silly for having his arm around her as she moved away from him. Max didn't outwardly show his embarrassment by Minerva nor Em, though, and he simply lifted a hand to wave half-heartedly at everyone around them as if he and Em were royalty.

He wasn't ashamed to be caught snuggling up to Emmaleigh.

WHOA. HEY. Did... mini Vashti really beat out Alec for that second snitch of the game? Max STARED down at the pitch, wondering if he was seeing things. Impressive. And... bizarre. But. "Alec'll get the next two," Max said aloud to Emmaleigh, though it was also spoken to reassure himself.

Lex nodded. This one was obviously one of those thinkers who had to 'analyze' a situation first. She never did understand people like her. Most times she preferred to just take things at face value and run with them! Like now for instance. Her team was losing but because they were her team she wouldn't hesitate to cheer for them.

She looked to the pitch for a moment and saw an opportunity to make her house feel better. "Go Gryffindoooorrrrr!!! Come on, we can do this!!!"[/b] They were her house and she was proud. That and she could never cheer for the puffers...she just couldn't.

Her attention turned to Cassia again when she asked her a question. She shook her head vigorously. "Nah, I tried out but didn't make the team--this seems like a lot of fun too though!" GRIN. Sitting up her with Vivi. What could be better???

"Gryffins for the Win! ROOAAARRRR!!!!"

OHHHHHH!!!

"COOOOL!!! What kind of mystery???" She was totally going under the impression that Selina was the one being referred to as Mary and therefore would not question it. "Is it about the creep that stole my candy and locked us out of our common rooms?" One day she'd come face to face with the creep and it would be sorry.

She got a bit closer when Vivi leaned in to whisper something and couldn't stop snickering when she heard.

"You can get away with just about anything then!!!" This was when she eyed Ariana and the rest of them. She might not have been able to get back at them for anything they might do but Vivi could! She had NOTHING to lose...in theory anyway.

Ari was busy ignoring Cambridge and paying attention to more important people. Like the slytherins around her to notice anything else really. until she heard her name called.. By min.. and wait Slytherpuff couple!? her eyes darted around the stands until she saw Damon. a smile came to her face and she looked over to her snakey friends "I'll be right back." she said to them before hoping up and walkingdarting over as fast as she could to Damon. She put her arms around him from behind him "I was beginning to think you weren't going to show up." she then looked to min and shot her a smile ' thanks for letting me know he was here min'

Minerva laughed seeing Mick still dancing, wow him and Laura seemed perfect for each other. She had to make sure to say something to Laura about this. She very much approved..

"Quaffle back in play and Dixon has it zooming down the field. The puff captain is fast on her broom today folks. Dixon passes to Ryans, but Skylar is there trying to knock Ryans off her broom. Ryans gets out of that mess and into another beaters path, Fisher looks ready to chomp and Ryans passes to Gummy worms Bishop. Bishop takes the quaffle and heads past the lions as she gets closer to score, she shots and scores... Bishop gets the score for Hufflepuff and you know what that means... It's raining Gummy worms.."

Minerva pulled more gummy worms out of her bag and started throwing them in the stands.. "Someone try to catch one in their mouth!!" She threw all the gummy worms in her hands hoping the fans would like the added treat...

"Kildare has the quaffle and is heading down the pitch. He has to dodge Hyde who seems to be out for more then just the bludger right now.. Kildare passes to Gert who makes the catch and zooms off. Here comes all four beaters towards Gert, Gert moves away.. Hyde hits the bludger and it is headed straight for Skylar. Skylar is knocked back. Gert makes a quick pass to Keller, Keller flies down the pitch. He shoots and scores against unstoppable Mancini.. "

Ethan alternated his eyes on the game and on Minnie. She always did such a fantastic job of commentating.. and today was no exception. He was so proud of her. Nodding as she said purple, he added, "I'm sure that would look great on you as well.. I'd like to see it sometime." Hmm, maybe he should have asked her to change his hair blonde for today too.

Eyes back on the game for a while.. Ethan looked down as he felt a tug on his sleeve. Uh.. sugar? The 16 year old stared at the extremely excited Mick with wide eyes. "You mean like by the spoonful?" Because it sorta seemed like it. Chuckle. And then he saw the snitch. Ethan was up on his feet cheering.

COME ON HUFFLEPUFF!!! YOU GOT THIS!!!

And yes!! Alec caught the first snitch! Ethan sat back down, still on the edge of his seat.. This game was rather exciting! His attention was diverted by some singing at his side. The boy stared in wonder for a moment as Mick was singing and dancing.. for Laura, obviously. Then started laughing - not in a make fun of him way, it was just amusing. Merlin, the boy had it bad for that girl.. Ethan had to cover his mouth to keep from laughing any harder when Minnie pulled the mic over to amplify the performance. The dude was hilarious.. and hopefully Laura would notice from the pitch to appreciate the gesture. "Man, that's awesome," he told his friend with a grin and clapped a little. Eyes back on the game again and he cheered along with Mick.

GO HUFFLEPUFF!!!

What a fun game.. Ethan looked up at Minnie as he felt her squeeze his hand. "I wouldn't miss it," he told her with a grin.

"Kidnapping," Vivi said with a certain amount of nonchalance. Theft, actually, but she knew how Selina felt... that it was actually a kidnapping! Clearly.

"So no, not about us getting locked out of the common rooms. That's sort of an adventure, don't you think? Aren't you enjoying it?" Sleeping on the floor in a big cold room? Why wouldn't people enjoy THAT?

Lex's eyes darted to the professor and Vivi shook her head. No way. No. She wasn't going to let Lex make her some sort of tool of destruction. She wasn't anyone's to use, and she wasn't going to encourage Lex to get into even more trouble. It was possible Vivi was a bad role model. Possibly.

She glanced up at the game again just in time to watch Selina get knocked from her broom. In a flash, Vivi was on her feet and shaking her fists at the stupid Hufflepuff beater. "Watson! FOUL!. Bad sportsmanship! Ugly hair! Kick that 'Puff out of the game!"

He grinned and nodded as she asked about him her being the blonde "Yup thats her" he said as he looked back at the game as he watched not just her but all the other players as the puffs seem to be doing well as there were more scores on the board, just then he watched as the seekers went after the snitch and he saw that gryffindor got the snitch and not only that but it was a kind of good thing to see that they had gotten a bit of a penalty for one of their players wanting to hold the snitch himself. He smiled and turned back to the girl as she agreed with him, he wanted to grin alot more as he had not heard of anyone agreeing with him about the beaters. "Yeah? Thats cool!" he nodded looking back at the game and smiled looking back at the girl as she introduced herself "Nice to meet you Lotus, my name is Harvey. " he said wondering if Ella had mentioned his name to Lotus though it seemed that it was unlikely since Lotus had asked him who Ella was, had they not met? Maybe he would have Lotus meet Ella two fellow puffs meeting each other for the first time.



He turned back to the game and watched as he saw Ella have the quaffle passed to her and she made her way to the goalposts.. he almost forgot to breathe as he watched as if in slow motion as the quaffle made its way through one of the hoops. Harvey couldnt contain his excitement at Ella having scored "YES!!! ELLA!!! Whooo!!! I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!!! " he yelled out jumping up and down "THAT'S MA GIRL!! THAT'S MA GIRL PEOPLE!" he yelled out some more before he realised what he was doing and quickly sat back down turning a little pink for his outburst that he had not meant to do. He then watched the game trying to hide himself as he watched Gryffindor managing to score against Hufflepuff

"Here that lion mascot roar trying to cheer on his team. Let's here you folks... Be louder then the lion. Dixon has the quaffle she is quick to head down the field. She is quickly followed by Keller who is after the prize at hand. Dixon is to fast and speeds away tossing the quaffle to Ryans, who moves further down the field. Ryans avoids colliding with biting Fisher and gets set to score, she shoots, but the singing keeper smacks the quaffle away.

Minerva heard a very unhappy Ravenclaw and turned to see Branxton yelling at the field...

"Looks like there is an unhappy claw still bitter about the Puff/Claw match.. Here dear have a gummy worm.."

Minerva tossed a gummy worm in the girls direction and hoped she wouldn't be upset over the fun.. It was just fun, wasn't it..

"And there's the snitch.. Greenwell and Summers are off.. They are coming back towards us, heads up.. They are in a dive and ICE CREAM BOY has the snitch!! Summers gets the snitch for Hufflepuff!!"

Bouncing up and down again Minerva started throwing more gummy worms into the air... She was getting to excited over this game! Minerva couldn't help but here the excitement coming from Harvey and she giggled..

"Well folks there is one Ravepuff guy who is extremely happy with the way today's game is going! Ella has the loudest cheerer here!! and Gert takes the Quaffle back in play. He heads down the field. Bishop is flying close to him, she is going to try to bump his broom. Gert passes a long pass to Kildare, Kildare catches the Quaffle and takes off. Hyde gets in his way, she seems to be taking her bat towards him, but he dodges her and moves away. Kildare passes to Keller, Keller flies down the field. He goes against Mancini, Mancini looks like he is not going to play games at this point. Keller throws, Mancini reaches, and Gryffindor scores..."

O___O

"A kidnapping?! Really?! Who's missing? How long've they been missing?? Is it anyone important???" It couldn't have been someone all that important because the only person she could think of that was missing was Seri and she was probably just around the place...everyone else was present...right? Unless it was one of those less important kids that no one ever notices...that was possible.

She thought for a bit about the next think Vivi said. "Hmm...well I guess it's pretty neat but...the idiot that locked us out stole my candy and now I can't stop worrying that it'll eat it or something..." When she bought that candy she didn't have the intention of sharing! Hmph!

Lex pouted slightly when Vivi started shaking her head. She knew exactly what it was supposed to mean. Then quite suddenly Selina was knocked from her broom and the girl was screaming awful things again!!! ...This time wouldn't pass her by. "Yeah! What she said!!! FOUL play!!! Take a Beater's bat to 'em!!!" Because they all deserved a good beating for being in the lead.

When Max asked her if she was embarrassed to be with him, she turned to him tears starting to form in her eyes, and shook her head. It broke her heart to even hear him say that. Not caring that everyone was looking at them, or if any professors were watching, or even about embarrassing Max and herself further, she raised her hands to his face and looked him in the eye. “I will never be embarrassed to be with you. You are the most amazing person in the world, and I want everyone to know you're mine; that we're together. Just maybe not having it announced to whole school at once.” she said smile dancing upon her lips. Leaning forward, she gave him a quick kiss before wrapping her arms around him, and snuggling her head against his chest. Yeah, there were probably way more people looking now, but that didn't matter. She closed her eyes tight trying to keep the tears at bay. “I'm sorry for making you feel bad.” she whispered.

After Alec's spectacular snitch catch, Emmaleigh sat back down, and snuggled up to Max again. She wasn't paying that much attention to the game any more. She only really paying attention when the snitch made its appearances and cheered for Alec when he caught it again.

Ella was pretty. And pretty fast on that broom too. So, she was also talented. Very good passer, also. None compared to the redheaded Captain, of course. Lottie remembered her from Diagon. Pitty she couldn't recall the name.

"She's a gifted player." THAT was probably the greatest compliment everyone was ever going to get from Lottie. And the person whom it was intended for wasn't even around. That's life.

Honestly, Lottie was just missing Spike. Vickers too, but they weren't in the same 'cool' category.

Quidditch was boring her too. So, the yellow Seeker better hurry up.

Oh, yes, it was very cool that Lotus Wisteria just agreed with you, because she didn't agree with many people SO EASILY. A small smirk made its way to her face as she simply nodded. Was he not used to people agreeing with him, though? Didn't matter, because her eyes went to the yellow Keeper. Wasn't he a first year like her?

"Harvey." Lottie repeated, the same smile on her face as she nodded. Yeah, nice meeting you too, we suppose. He gave her a great deal of information. Did everyone at Hogwarts have unusual names, by the way? Harvey was just like...Jarvey, though.

AND OH MERLIN HE DID NOT!

Lottie almost froze at his outburst. OH MERLIN. How embarrassing. No comments made. Though, she might've pulled away from him a little.

"The bat, remember? Mortimer? She's still looking for her baby," Vivi nodded over that. Selina was still obsessed about the bat's disappearance, and her friends were still looking. Albeit... there weren't many places to look at this point.

The game was drawing to a close, and Vivi frooooowned at the field. Why hadn't more people been more concerned about the flagrant disregard for the rules going on up there? HM?

Minerva tossed a gummy worm in the girls direction and hoped she wouldn't be upset over the fun.. It was just fun, wasn't it..

Vivi GLARED at the 'Puff!announcer who had patronized her, called her 'dear' like some old grandmother, and then thrown candy at her. What sort of nonsense was this? Her fists curled and her little body rippled in rage, not just at the girl but at her friends getting hurt and the loss that Selina and Giddy must be feeling and ALL of that. Stupid 'Puffs.

She caught the gummy worm in mid-air and licked it before throwing it into the girl's hair. Now it was nice and sticky and probably permanently lodged there. "Oh.. dear? If you spent more time commenting on the game and less commenting on the stands, you'd be a lot more effective. Just some friendly advice."

At least she hadn't thrown a shoe at the girl although she really deserved it.

Lex was watching the game so intently that when she saw things falling from the sky she didn't take much notice at first. It wasn't until something landed in her hair and a few guy worms fell on her lap that she got more attentive.

"WHOA raining candy!!!" They said this school was magic but she never thought it'd ever get to this! Th 11 year old squealed just a bit, grabbing the ones in her hair and throwing them in her mouth. "SUUUUUGAAARRRRR!!!" She began looking around for the source of the sugary goodness and smiled greedily when she saw that Minnie girl. "Moooore pleeeeaaassse."

Oh. Was that all?

Hadn't that bat been missing since forever? She had more than enough time to go buy a new one so what was the problem?? Of course Lex would have asked this but the last time she did she got a very unfavourable response so she decided not to.

Her eyes landed on the candy that was falling on Vivi. Even mooore!! But just before she could take one and begin munching the girl licked it and threw it back.

"Nooooooooo!!!!" Vivi! No! You can't waste it like that!!! Throw a stone--or your shoe--Merlin I don't care what you throw but NOT the candy!!!!!" Why was everyone so violent to sugar?!?! DX

Harvey was still watching the game when he heard himself being mentioned in the announcement he looked at Mins and chuckled a little "Thanks Mins! You just told even the people who didnt hear me about my announcement!" he would have to talk to his best friend about that and her announcing which was great.. just not when he wanted to hide and she was telling everyone about him. He then went back to watching the game as Gryffindor once more scored on the board, well they were doing well now as he waited for the little puff seeker to get another snitch.

Harvey couldnt help but smile as Lotus said that Ella was a gifted player, he looked back at Ella "She will be pleased to hear you say that" she didnt believe him sometimes considering he would be biased in her favor being her boyfriend and all but maybe hearing it from someone else such as Lotus.

Harvey nodded as she repeated his name "Yup thats me" he said still a little excited from Ella's goal. Harvey Watson boyfriend and Best Friend of Ella Bishop. He sat down once his outburst was over, he was not sure whether Lotus had moved away from him or not but there was a little bit of a bigger gap between them, but that was cause he probably had sat a little way away without meaning to.

He turned to Lotus "What year are you in?" he asked cause he sometimes got confused between the first and second years and needed a little confirmation when it came to that. He noticed that she was not too enthusiastic about quidditch and also wondered why that was. He and Ella had agreed that Quidditch was the most awesomest sport ever even though they were both Muggle-borns, there was no sport like this in the muggle world where you got to rush through the air. How he missed playing quidditch, he could not believe that he didnt make the team this time round after two terms of being of the team.

From the corner of his eyes he saw a gummy worm go flying back towards Minnie and he saw it in her hair, he looked through the stand as he heard someone talk to her but he couldnt make out who it was through all the people. He would ask Minnie later on who it was, cause that was not on! she was just doing her job if you didnt like it.. close your ears!! Cause as far as he was concerned Minnie was doing a great job!! He was not too pleased about people throwing Gummy worms at HIS best friend.. no.. no.. siree! AND not only that but he heard a very familiar voice tell her to throw a stone or her shoe.. oh she did not just do that "Hey!! no throwing shoes and stones whoever that was!" cause that was not right!! how would they like it if someone threw a stone or shoe at their best friend!

"Dixon has the Quaffle and she is off down the field. She ducks as the buldger flies towards her. Here come the beaters. Dixon quickly moves away, but here comes Gert towards her. Gunter swings and he hits the bludger and it is a direct hit at Gert. Gert flies backwards from the hit and Dixon quickly gets away. She passes to Ryans who heads down the field. Ryans lines up to score and shoots, maybe the singing is to much for Sung, but the Quaffle sails past her and Ryans scores for Hufflepuff."

Min was on her feet jumping around again. Puffs were doing so well, she was just to excited for words. Looking at Ethan hoping he didn't think she was a complete nut job today she turned back to the pitch, but then she heard a voice behind her that made her turn.. She was giving advice.. Well then, "Well thanks for the advice, I will think about it, but for now, I do what Professor V says and it's a little of both, but thanks!" As she turned she felt something hit her. Putting her hand up it was sticky and wet, moving her hair where she could see it.. It was a licked gummy worm.. "GROOOSSSSS" Then she heard Alexa and couldn't help but giggle, so stupid claw wasn't getting under her skin today.. Honestly there was only one stupid claw that ever got under her skin and it wasn't this girl. She turned to Alexa, "Here.. I have an entire bag full." Reaching in her bag she tossed a handful at Alexa hitting the Branxton girl again.. "Oops sorry.." Then she turned back to the game...

"Wow do we have some bitter fans from previous matches here today... Kildare has the Quaffle back in play. He flies quickly down the pitch.. Bishop heads towards Kildare she might get the quaffle from him, but here comes Fischer pushing her out of Kildares path.. At least she didn't use teeth on Gummy worms Bishop. She might like gummy worms, but she is not a gummy worm. Kildare heads down the field and passes to Keller. Keller turns to see his path is blocked by Gunter and Hyde.. Are they going to knock him off his broom. NO, of course not.. STOP FIGHTING YOU TWO.. THERE IS A GAME GOING ON!!!! Hyde knocks her own teammate almost off his broom.. COME ON LAURA... She flies after Keller, Gunter gains control and is off. Gunter is closing in on Keller.. NO he is after Laura again.. REALLY YOU TWO.. Keller gets past the fighting badgers and moves on. Dixon comes to save the day by taking Gunters bat.. BEST THING I've seen done to Gunter all day... Ryans head to try to steal the quaffle but misses. Now Skylar is after Ryans. No love with these two teams as they go down the field. Skylar pushes Ryans out of the way and the lion captain and keller are headed down the field. Here comes Dixon into try and stop him. Now it's the fight of the captains. Are they using the beaters bats against each other?? Keller heads down the field he shoots and scores..."

Minerva can not believe the fighting going on the field right now.. Could Laura and Oakey really be fighting during a game.. Now the two captains are in the air throwing swings with bats.. Wow this game got interesting.. Then she noticed Harvey was sticking up for her.. Oh Harvey, Minerva thought.. She loved her friend, but he was never much of a fighter, she might have to protect him after awhile. Then something caught her eye..

"The snitch has been spotted. Greenwell and Summers are off.. They are neck and neck, both so good at flying. It's coming near the stands again, no it's headed towards the fighting captains. The seekers are flying under kicking feet. Now they are seeming to be confused, what is going on.. Wait.. Something is in ice cream boys hand.. ALEC SUMMERS HAS THE SNITCH!! HUFFLEPUFF WINS! HUFFLEPUFF WINS!"

Minerva was in her bag again grabbing the gummy worms throwing them around the stands.. She knew it was for Ella and Alec, plus she was so excited about the win she did not care. She started dancing with Mick as he was singing and cheering for Laura. Then she went and jumped towards Ethan putting her hands around his neck jumping and hugging him.. "THEY WON!!! THEY WON!!!" She still had gummy worms in her hands and threw them around before leaning over and giving him a kiss. She didn't care who was watching she was to happy and he was right there and well she wanted to...

Looking down at the pitch Minerva frowned a bit..

"HUFFLEPUFF WINS!!! DID YOU HEAR THAT PUFFS... STOP FIGHTING ON THE FIELD!!" Maybe that could stop Gunter and Hyde.. "Laura, Mick is up here singing for you.. Walk away from crazy Oakey. Well folks that is the end of the match, I hope you all had fun. Join us again in a a few weeks, when Ravenclaw will be playing Gryffindor. Have a great rest of the day!"

Turning off the mic she turned to Ethan and Mick.. "Well this is an interesting ending to a match! But whatever WE WON!!!" She jumped up and down again and then took Ethan's hand into hers. This day couldn't be any better no matter who was mad and who wasn't..

Dylan beamed under his costume as he was once again mentioned by Minnie's announcement, good plublicity that was.. to show others what he was capable of! "I am not trying.. I AM cheering them on!" he said as he danced and bounced some more as they started getting a few more scores onto the score board. He heard someone that sounded like Alexa yell about wasting candy "Yeah!! you cant waste candy!!" he yelled out in her general direction from under his costume. After all the dancing and bouncing that he had done he was now feeling quite warm under his costume, he decided to take his head off and give himself some breathing room! He then watched as the final snitch was captured and heard that hufflepuff had won!! WHAT?!!? after all his cheering Gryffindor had lost?! how did that happen!!! he cheered alot that was supposed to make them want to win. He saw Penelope get hugged once she landed on the pitch and he forgot all that he had just thought cause he knew that she probably felt bad about them losing, he put his head back on "ROAR!! ROAR!! ROAR!! ROAR!!" he roared out still cheering on the lions cause even though they hadnt won they had still played a good game and thats what him roaring meant!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOH - HUFFLEPUFF HAD WON.

He wouldn't make any sarcastic comments to West, cos Penelope had actually played real good. "YEAH, GO ALEC. AND YEAAAAAAAAAAAH, ELLA AND BLISS." He did a few fist bumps into the air, then relaxed back down into his seat as everyone landed on the pitch. Laura and Oakey seemed to be having a spat which was quite amusing.

Anyway.

He turned to West, "Shall we go now?" Cos he didn't fancy sticking around.

"HUFFLEPUFF WON! WE WON! WE WON!!!!!!!" Mick suddenly collasped to the floor of the stands, quietly moaning and putting a hand on his forehead. "Maaaaaan, I got such a headache. Ethan? Dude, I ate too much sugar this morning." Slowly, he gathered himself up, fist-pumping the sky but not with the same enthusiasm as he had 10 minutes ago. Now he just wanted to lie down and drink some soup. "We won, woo-hoo..." He looked down at the field and waved at Laura, then gradually frowned....who is that guy she's yelling at?

Harvey watched as the little Hufflepuff seeker finally caught the final snitch, he just blinked.. sooo.. puffs had won?! he then heard Minnie announce that they had "YEAH!! Whooo.. Go puffs!!" he said as he watched Ella he smiled before he saw all the commotion on the pitch, so apparently these puffs couldnt wait until they got into the castle to start whatever issue it was that they had. Anyways he was not bothered by them he was just looking at Ella, dying to meet her and give her the biggest ever Hug from her HarveyBear! He then watched as Ella walked inside after the great game that the puffs had played, and he just had this big smile stuck on his face as he watched her. He so wanted to yell out to her but he didnt want to embarrass her, he really wanted to show her his badge.. but preferably when they were alone just the two of them.

In her little moment of sadness someone was trying to be annoying. Wasn't it obvious that seeing Vivi throw the candy had quite the devastating effect on her?? WHY did someone wanna be annoying on top of all that???

But then, the voice as familiar. Looking around she spotted Harvey. Yeah. He said it. "She can throw anything she wants EXCEPT the candy! I really don't care so long as no candy is harmed in all this rubbish." and that was that. Candy was special. He needed to understand that,

AN ENTIRE BAG FULL?!?!?

Lex stared at the girl with side eyes for a moment, wondering if what she said was true but was forced to believe it when she saw her reach for the bag and throw her some. "YES!!! ThankYouThankYouThankYou!!!" She squealed before throwing everything in her mouth and sighing in satisfaction. Candy. Candy. Candy. That was all that mattered right now. Once that bit was swallowed she turned to the girl again with a greedy expression.

"I want more candyyyyyy!!!!! Can I have the whole bag?!?!? Pleaasssseee?!" What's the worse that could happen? Her climbing the outside of the stands?

"Exactly!" She shouted, agreeing fully with what Dylan was saying. Leave it to the younger ones to have the most logic. Wasting candy was like a...like a sin or something---it had to be!

You just told even the people who didnt hear me about my announcement!" he would have to talk to his best friend about that and her announcing which was great.. just not when he wanted to hide and she was telling everyone about him. He then went back to watching the game as Gryffindor once more scored on the board, well they were doing well now as he waited for the little puff seeker to get another snitch.

Harvey couldnt help but smile as Lotus said that Ella was a gifted player, he looked back at Ella "She will be pleased to hear you say that" she didnt believe him sometimes considering he would be biased in her favor being her boyfriend and all but maybe hearing it from someone else such as Lotus.

Harvey nodded as she repeated his name "Yup thats me" he said still a little excited from Ella's goal. Harvey Watson boyfriend and Best Friend of Ella Bishop. He sat down once his outburst was over, he was not sure whether Lotus had moved away from him or not but there was a little bit of a bigger gap between them, but that was cause he probably had sat a little way away without meaning to.

He turned to Lotus "What year are you in?" he asked cause he sometimes got confused between the first and second years and needed a little confirmation when it came to that. He noticed that she was not too enthusiastic about quidditch and also wondered why that was. He and Ella had agreed that Quidditch was the most awesomest sport ever even though they were both Muggle-borns, there was no sport like this in the muggle world where you got to rush through the air. How he missed playing quidditch, he could not believe that he didnt make the team this time round after two terms of being of the team.

From the corner of his eyes he saw a gummy worm go flying back towards Minnie and he saw it in her hair, he looked through the stand as he heard someone talk to her but he couldnt make out who it was through all the people. He would ask Minnie later on who it was, cause that was not on! she was just doing her job if you didnt like it.. close your ears!! Cause as far as he was concerned Minnie was doing a great job!! He was not too pleased about people throwing Gummy worms at HIS best friend.. no.. no.. siree! AND not only that but he heard a very familiar voice tell her to throw a stone or her shoe.. oh she did not just do that "Hey!! no throwing shoes and stones whoever that was!" cause that was not right!! how would they like it if someone threw a stone or shoe at their best friend!

Er, no.

Lottie was not repeating herself, thank you.

"I'm sure she would." The smile on her face was entirely and completely genuine this time, because it was a fact. People liked compliments. And they should like them even more if they were coming from her.

Okay. Harvey. Ella's boyfriend. Who was not a Hufflepuff but a..., "Hey, what House are you in?" probably not Gryffindor either. Or he'd be a terrible Gryffindor. What with him supporting Hufflepuff and all.

"I'm a first year," aaaalmost a second year. She was so proud of that last bit, even if summer was a few months away. Granted, she didn't mention her House, it was rather obvious, was it not? She was wearing nothing that could give her away, though.

WHAT? What was this? The yellow Seeker got the snitch! And he won!

Well, he didn't win. Hufflepuff did. But yeah.

A small smile grew on her face. It felt odd, though. He got the snitch, and he won, and Lottie didn't even know him. That needed to change, because he could be of some help in the future, yeah?

WAAAAAIT. SHOES? WAS SHOE BOY AROUND?!

Oh. Her eyes followed Harvey's, and then widened at the sight of whatever was going on in the Pitch. "Er, Harvey, you should probably check on your girlfriend, yes?" Merlin knows what's going on down there.

She stood, because there was nothing else she could do in the Stands now that the game was over. "I'll go, but I guess I'll see you around." She gave him a smile again, another one of those that belonged in the 'genuine' category.

He just shook his head knowing that he would get nowhere with Alexa on her love for candy, but he would have to try and get her to understand that throwing shoes and stones at people was not a good thing no matter what was the reason and she would learn that soon enough. If not he would have to teach her some things hopefully she would listen.



He smiled and nodded as she said that she would love that, cause he knew that she would and probably would blush along the way which he always loved to see. Oh yes Lotus and Ella just HAD to meet!! He smiled as she asked him a question "I am in Ravenclaw" though after being with Ella he had often wished that he could be a puff or at least be able to sneak into the puff common room to be with his girl instead of leaving her each night at the door. Or right now it was the Great Hall.

He smiled a little more as she said that she was a first year "Thats good!" he then remembered how he was as a first year, being new and all and going through quite a bit. He had girlfriends and heartbreaks as well as so much else that it made his first year pass by so fast he had no idea it had passed by until summer came along and soon they were second years.

He nodded as he continued watching the pitch "Yeah I will go in just a moment will give her time to do whatever she does after a match" like change and shower and stuff or whatever it was that she did, but yes he would go check on her soon. He looked at her as she stood up and he listened as she said that she was going now, he nodded "Ok sure Lotus, yeah we will see each other around. See you soon yeah?" he said cause he wanted Ella and Lotus to meet some day and so they would be meeting again that was for sure!
