| | Quidditch Warming Tent To wait out the nasty blizzard that rolled in during the Slytherin vs. Ravenclaw match, making visibility nearly zero - James didn't want her Quidditch kids to die - a large warming tent has been hastily set up outside the Quidditch Stadium.
Grab a mug of tea or hot chocolate on the long table by the door and take a seat on one of the many chairs surrounding the fire in the center of the room to wait out the storm! |

Dylan entered the tent, the snow and ice already beginning to build and gather on his green quidditch robes. He was in a terrible mood...Annoyed, frustrated, near throwing a fit...All these things. Merlin, he just wanted to go sit down and defrost his hands.
Ugh.
Just.......ugh.
Storming over to the refreshments table, he snatched up a mug and poured himself some boiling water...and then added hot chocolate mix. Truth be told, Dylan didn't even know why he was mad. He just was....

Nigel walked into the Warming Tent just wanting to get warm. This blizzard was a freak of nature. The weather really weird and freaky. Plus he was really cold. He was pretty sure he got frostbite on his hands. But none of that matter now. He could get warm and have refreshments. He walked over to the hot chocolate, grabbed a cup and took a sip. Yum Good.
He took a seat waiting for the rest of his teammates to get in here.
Warm was good.

So...
The blizzard. What a horrible timing, right, weather?
Kat made her way inside the tent, straight face. She didn't like the fact that they had to postpone the match for even a few minutes, hours, or whatever just because of one stinking blizzard. She was just really annoyed at everything. Once she stepped in, she took her Keeper gloves off. It was no help right now, since it wasn't warming her hands one bit. Pfft. Maybe the manufacturers could adjust it a bit and, you know, make it a bit warmer and comfortable for all weathers? Maybe charm it? It would be helpful for all Keepers in the Wizarding World, in all honesty.
The prefect made her way to the long table, maintaining her quiet self, and grabbed a mug of hot chocolate. Oh good... it was at least keeping her warm at the moment. She took a seat on one of the chairs near the fire and drank from the mug.
Well, this wasn't the first time they had to postpone a match. Which is exactly why she's annoyed already.

Sky wasn't really bothered by the blizzard so much as she was by the suddenness of it. Or the seeming suddenness of it, anyway. Wasn't it nice, albeit a little cold, a few minutes ago? Or maybe she just needed to adjust her attention payer a bit. Either way, she hurried into the Quidditch Warming Tent to join her fellow teammates as opposed to heading back up to the castle. Where she found the captain in bad mood and the perfect being quiet as usual. Okay, then. Parking herself in a seat, then. With a nod to her teammates, of course.

Warm was good. How he found his way into the warming tent was nothing short of a miracle to Ethan. He couldn't see a thing in the whiteout conditions in the air.. and on the ground wasn't any better. He wasn't exactly thrilled with his performance in his new position, but maybe warming up would at least help his mood. At any rate, he was freezing and he wasn't going to stay outside to weather the storm.
Once inside, his green eyes scanned the refreshments on the table. No coffee.. but hot chocolate was second best and he picked up a cup, lifting it to his lips to garner its immediate warmth. Spotting a couple Slytherins, he gave them an acknowledging nod before making his way over to sit with his teammate. "Hey, Nigel," he nodded to the other boy as he took a seat and gingerly pulled off his keeper gloves. His fingers were still red and raw even under the protection of his gloves. "You looked like you were doing well out there.. at least from what I could see.." Which really wasn't much, given the conditions..

Nigel was enjoying this hot chocolate and the warmth it was bringing to his mouth and fingers. He could not believe he could hold the quaflfle. Much less throw it to a teammate in this blizzard.
Lost in his own thoughts. He did not notice Ethan until he started talking to Nigel. Oh a teammate. "Hey Ethan and thanks. I could not believe i could still get a grip on the quaffle. It feels like i have frostbite. But thank merlin i don't"
Nigel is a small respect thought the Keeper was lucky in that he had gloves on for the whole match. He was still trying to warm his up ."And you played good out there so far also. From what i could see" He saw quite a bit when he was not creating a clothesline with Mo to knock out slytherin chasers and trying to score. Fun.

HOLY STINKIN CANOLI!!! That certainly came out of no where!!! Ariana shuffled into the tent cause she could and shook a bit shivering off the cold, or trying to. Ariana was only wearing a simple winters coat over her t-shirt cause it wasn't too nippy before she came out here,but now that girls teeth were chattering and her lips were a very slight hue of blue, or maybe that was some hidden ravenclaw support? Seems you'll never know.
It sure was eerie and quiet in there. "everyone alright?" no one broken, missing, dead?! No, good,then propels should cheer up cause her team was playing so well and she was super proud, like SUPER. Going over she got some hot cocoa and sat in a chair two down from Hudson... was this ok?

Okay, so she'd taken a lovely bludger to the stomach and woooow it hurt. A lot. Not to mention the fact that the cold was numbing her fingers and making her lose her grip on her bat, that didn't help matters much either. Her hair had been blown out of its strict ponytail by the blizzard and was now just left hanging somewhat sloppily in her face. To be honest, the beater looked like she'd had a fist fight with that blizzard going on outside and she lost. What a shame.
Broom and bat tucked under her arm, she waddled into the warming tent and picked a mug of hot chocolate off the table that had trays of them. They wouldn't miss this one, she decided, just holding it to warm her fingers and sniffing it every now and then. Her Antillergen Potion should still be in effect, right?

This blizzard....what good timing.
NOT.
Shivering from the cold, Beezus brushed away the strands of hair that had escaped her ponytail and were now plastered haphazardly to her forehead. She set her broom near the tent's entrance once she had stepped inside and immediately trudged towards the refreshments table. Darn...hot chocolate. The effects of the Antillergen Potion had worn off last week. Ugh, but she was so cold.... Tea! There was tea though. That would do. The brunette grabbed a mug and took a sip. Warm, warm, warm...thank you.
As she continued to fill herself up with the warmth, her eyes roamed the tent for her team. Her Captain was there now...their Keeper....and Nigel. Merlin, where were Mo, Aidan and Hazel?

Theo hadn't been cold for at least 10 minutes after he touched the ground. He was too busy breaking a sweat on the pitch, so the blizzard was actually kind of nice, despite the vision starting to get worse. But things were different now, because he had time to settle back down to the ground and DANG - it was flipping cold, and Theo was not happy. He also wasn't happy about the game being postponed, no matter how long/short it would be. This Slytherin was on a rooooooll...
But at least he could have a break to find Dora... and to fistbump West, and the rest of the team because they were doing so awesomely.
Theo grabbed himself a mug of hot chocolate, and took a sip but it was WAY too hot. So he did a little dance on the spot, then placed it on the side to cool down first. GUUUHHH... the boy wrapped his robes around him tightly and looked around the room for everyone. OH, there was Dylan. Theo beamed over at him, and Kat as well.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Eliza Neladara Dawnsel Fifth Year | Eliza rushed into the tent with the rest of her teammates. Her hands were frozen despite her gloves. Her nose was frozen despite the scarf she wore while sitting on the reserve bench. Her lips were cold. Her cheeks, her knees, her toes, and even her eyeballs felt cold. Chattering, she made her way over to Ethan and stood beside him, hoping to share some of his heat. "Th-thank g-goodness for this t-tent, eh?" she said to both Ethan and Nigel while rubbing her hands together.
At least they were in the lead when the storm hit. That was a good thing. She'd been cheering her teammates the entire time, entirely jazzed about being on the team. Getting to see the match from the sidelines was so much cooler than seeing it from the stands. Up close view, what what?! She could hardly wait for the storm to pass so they could get back out there again.

| be curious, not judgmental As the impossible lack of visibility from the blizzard finally died down to gentle flurries falling from the sky, James entered the warming tent, having cleared the stands and the path of snow from the stadium to the tent. "The storm is passing - I hope you've all had a nice break, warmed up a bit, enjoyed a nice warm beverage - but let us resume the match!" She accented her announcement with two excited claps of her hands. "Spectators, you should find that most of the snow should be gone from your seats, so head on out! Players, you will have ten minutes to warm up again on the pitch before gameplay will resume. Let's finish strong!" With a broad smile, James waved an arm to beckon people toward the stands once more. "Feel free to grab another hot beverage on your way out! It's still cold out there!" OOC: We will begin session two on Saturday, June 22nd at 2PM GMT/10AM EST.
