LOL.

So, Astrid was here again. That wasn't a surprise anymore cos the brunette loved Quidditch so much it hurts. Also... Mama Hulk was going to commentate, so she heard. More reasons to gomhere. Yay! And to also see her Hogwarts friends. Don't worry, she'll be back in France soon.

But for now... just here. Quidditch pitch. The Stands. There was no regrets.

WAVES FOR MAMA HULK HI ALICE. ASTRID SEES YOU. BEAM. And then she sat down, ahem. She was too excited for this match.

Ice cream cone in one hand, obviously being the PERFECT weather for ice cream apparently, and two miniature paint buckets hanging off the other, Medea happily tugged Leo along to the stands, boots crunching in the patches of snow. QUIDDIIIIITCH! How how nice it was to be in the stands again!

Seriously...the stands. They were nice. Less dangerous.

Opening the little paint bucket that held the BLUE paint, she juuuuuuust wiped a stripe on one cheek when she noticed the Ancient Runes professor. "GOOD DAY, BOTROS!" she said, waving her paint covered finger hand at the elderly man. A few drops of paint being flung here and there. Just added to the SCHOOL SPIRIT! WOOHOO!

Creating another BLUE SO SO BLUUUUUE stripe on the other cheek, and still tugging Leo along to find the best seats available, Medea was reaching for the green paint can when she noticed something TERRIBLE! Oh goodness, it was a tragedy really.

Ahem. Up one seat from the Astronomy Professor, she reached over him and gave him a big BLUE stripe across his left cheek. That was SOOOOO much better! Goodness, could barely see any blue on him before that. One would've thought he was just rooting for the Slytherins! "YOU'RE VELCOME!"

Kennedy Escalante was back on Hogwarts turf for one reason today. Quidditch. He'd taken the time off to come and watch his annoying little cousin...who was kidding? He just came for the game.

He made his way to the front of the strands, but not TOO much in the front. Kennedy was looking out for a safe spot for the child in his arms. If something happened to little Danny then his best friend would definitely have his head in a platter. Don't even mention the mother.

The YATI stopped when he chose a suitable spot and turned where he knew his best friend would be walking from. "This is a good spot." Yay for Danny's first Quidditch game.

Minerva was sipping her not so hot hot chocolate, the splash of ice cream was the best ever. Had she thanks Odessa for suggesting that yet.. Hmm she would the next time she saw him. Then she spotted her oh so bestie best friend. "Ariana!!!! Come.. come sit with me!!" She was bouncing a bit, the excitement was just out of control. "Why aren't you playing? But whatever we can hang out so WHOOP WHOOP." Whoop whoop.. what was that, oh well she was excited so it was what it was.

Next she saw Ella and Ella wanted to sit with her that was just AWESOME and she watched as she was searching for something, but clapped when she saw them. "Gummy worms can be dangerous, but I guess Vivi isn't here to throw them at, so they should be safe and YES I would love some. Hot Chocolate, a splash of ice cream, and gummy worms, PERFECT MATCH!!" She took some gummy worms and popped them in her mouth. Okay now it was time for them to come out soon. She was ready to see her cute little keeper boy. "Ethan's Keeper today....eeep.." She felt nervous and excited at the same time.


Then she saw Romanos and did she have ice cream.. "Professor.. Hello.. you know what you should have done, put it hot chocolate.. It's sooo good that way!!" She held up her cup and smiled, "Cheering on just one team or both?" It was obvious with the blue hair and the Claw Jacket who Min was cheering for. Then she noticed Professor Flamsteed. "Hello professor. Are you ready for a great match? I think we are going to find it will be better than that gobstone match between these two." Then an idea hit her and she jumped up turning. "We should do the wave!!! Let's do the wave. COME ON EVERYONE DO THE WAVE!!" She sat back down and than grabbed Ella and Ari pulling them up with her as she moved her arms to start the wave. Turning again "Go professors Go!!!" meaning your turn!!!

Erik was interested in quidditch, somewhat. Sometimes. Today he was interested in it, despite the five galleon entry fee that made him sigh and shake his head. He deposited the coins and quickly picked out a seat near the exit, where he could watch the game and other things from up high in the stands.

There was too much excitement here. Too much shouting and cheering and...paint. Odin. He tried not to scowl as he focused on the match starting below.

House spirit, yep. That's why she was here. Plus, she figured someone would have her hide for not being here. So, Sky had gotten up way too early for a Saturday, fixed herself up a nice, hot cup of coffee (sans ice cream), bundled up and made her way to the stands. After paying her two galleons (much fairer way of making money), she went up to find herself a seat. At first, she started to sit by a fellow snake who also wasn't allowed to play this time, but then she got scooped up by an ultra-loud Puffer. It was way too early for that, in her opinion, so she just found herself another spot to cheer from. Hoping, of course, that whoever would join her wouldn't be ultra-loud or ice cream-y. Seriously, what was up with that stuff?

Harvey paid his payment to get to the stands and he sat down with his ice cream that he was enjoying alot "Oh ice cream is the best! I dont know how I stayed away from you" he said to the ice cream beofre he took a seat. He sat down eating his ice cream as he watched the game. He was glad to see Ethan playing, too bad he couldnt join his friend, he was too busy eating this lovely ice cream. Ok so maybe he had a light sugar rush, you couldnt blame him ice cream was like that, very addicive stuff. He looked out towards the game as he watched the game get started, he knew who he wanted to win. He knew that Ethan was a good player and knew that he would be a great keeper.. ooo bugger this ice cream was melting! he quickly licked the ice cream that was dripping off his spoon he couldnt lose the ice cream like this! Mmm such lovely ice cream how he had missed it. He wasnt going to stop eating the stuff ever again! Wait! what? slytherine had scored again? they were cheating! thats what it had to be! Hmm ice cream.. lovely stuffs!

Daichi was armed! Armed with ICECREAM~!

He had swiftly made his way to the stands when he was done making his homework, his two hands were holding buckets with icecream he had promised to bring. Reaching the stands, the Slytherin climbed up the steps and immediately noticed the cheerful shouting from Minerva. He chuckled as he watched her do the wave and telling everyone to do so as well.

Without missing a beat, Daichi threw his arms up in the air (the bucket of icecream had a closed lid btw) and did the wave as well. "MINERVAAA! I BROUGHT THE ICECREAM!" He shouted when he was done , totally missing that a few professors were there as well.

And...ooooh look who was here as well! "KENNEDY!" He shouted again after seeing his childhood hero. Whut? he HAD saved him once from drowning.... "You here to cheer for Slytherin?!" he asked but then noticed he had a KID in his arms. "He's yours?!"

And there was Alice not too long after she'd settled down. Awesome. They were still early, but others were finally starting to file in now too.

She nodded. "Yep." The tie was Ascanius'. The necklace was also from him, but you couldn't see that as clearly with the tie mostly covering it. That was okay though. She wore the necklace pretty much all the time anyway. "Is that West's hoodie?" she asked, nodding at what Alice was wearing. Because who else's would it be? It certainly wasn't Alice's, that was clear. She wasn't the one on the Slytherin team.

And yeah, maybe Penelope was smirking a little. Maybe she wasn't. Heh.

She opened a sugar quill and started on it while watching the stands fill up, and eventually it was about time for the game to start. Awesome. She finished off the sugar quill, tossed it into a rubbish bin nearby, and leaned forward to lightly tap on the mic, sending a slight scrEEEEEEEEEEch through the stadium.

"Whoops. This thing on?" Oh that was pretty loud. Seemed it was in fact on. "Seems like it. So hey guys! Welcome to the Slytherin and Ravenclaw match! Should be a good game." Especially if the snakes won. Not that she was biased. Ahem.

But roster now? Yeah. She looked down at the list.

"'Kay, so line up for Slytherin! Keeper is Katrina Hudson of course, with Peyton Baltazar and Derryth Ferrier as Beaters." Girl power, yo. "West Odessa, Theodore Kinsley, and Ascanius Stark are Chasers, and last but not least, Dylan Montmorency's playing Seeker." Merlin's beard, Dylan's last name was SO LONG. She'd never really realized before, but gosh.

Anyway.

"Line up for Ravenclaw! We have Ethan McCarthy as Keeper; Elise Fairfield and Blue Gracae as Beaters; Chasers are Beatrice Castell, Nigel Barrington, and Marcus Branxton." Merlin, it was weird calling Mo Marcus. Didn't really fit in her opinion. "And last but not least, Ravenclaw's Seeker is Aidan Stone."

So there were the rosters. Hope people were paying attention.

Her hand twitched toward a cookie, but the players were getting into positions and it looked like James was gonna throw in the Quaffle, so no snack time yet.

"Quaffle's gonna be thrown into play, game's gonna start... And there they go!

"They're all attacking the Quaffle like it's the last cookie in the whole world - and someone's got it! Wes- Odessa," Last names were supposed to be used right? He breaks away from the pack and is racing for the hoops. Chasers fly after him, Claws trying to steal, Snakes keeping them away. Well except for one, who's trying to keep away from them as much as possible, and Odessa sees the opening and tosses it to him. Stark catches it - seems surprised, but takes off - and tosses it to Kinsley as soon as possible. Kinsley races for the hoops, shoots - SCORES! FIRST SCORE OF THE GAME GOES TO SLYTHERIN!"

Woo! Snack time for her now. Alice's turn.

Ahem. Up one seat from the Astronomy Professor, she reached over him and gave him a big BLUE stripe across his left cheek. That was SOOOOO much better! Goodness, could barely see any blue on him before that. One would've thought he was just rooting for the Slytherins! "YOU'RE VELCOME!"

DSKLFDJFLSDJSDJFLSDKJ WHAT WAS SHE DOING?! SHE KNEW HOW HE FELT ABOUT PAINT NEAR HIM! Only this time he wasn't freaking out so much about the potential for it getting on his suit - even if he was wearing a lightly colored one this match. Silver, Slytherin's other house color, because Miss Wisteria had told him his other one was too loud.

"Medea, you get back over here and fix this!" he said as he turned the other cheek. "I look far too asymmetrical. It's ridiculous."

OH! THEY WERE DOING THE WAVE?! AIREY LOVED THE WAVE!

"EXCELLENT IDEA, MISS WHEATBORN!" he exclaimed as he grabbed Medea's hand - she should probably grab Leo's too so that the wave could keep going. And then Leo could grab Erik's. And would be legen....

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOo!"

....dary.

In the process of grabbing Medea's hand and raising their hands high above their heads, he both sent his remaining ice cream cone flying in one direction while the jar of green paint she had been holding in that hand went another direction.

RAINING GREEN PAINT!!! BEST WAVE EVER!

Leo licked on his ice cream as Medea tugged him along to the snakes vs eagles quidditch match in the middle of winter. They had stopped at the entrance to pay the alloted fee before they moved up the stand steps.

"Hello Abraham!" Leo waved and called as he spotted the elderly man already seated a few seats away from them. Medea had brought paint in the competing houses colours and was now flinging the paint everywhere...Hopefully Ab didn't get too stained.

Following in Medea's footsteps Leo continued walking wondering just where she wanted to sit. Up in the row over Airey they stopped. Medea leaned down and smudged the Astronomy professor's cheeks with paint. Holding back a grin Leo called down. "Good day Airey! Nice day for quidditch isn't it?"

Taking another lick of his big ice cream cone he turned to Medea. "Where did you want to sit?"

Extra large packet of jelly slugs open, Selena's popcorn caught in her mouth and not her hair, everyone being given enthusiastic waves back (Dora got a kiss). Alice was READY, see? She tugged her mike closer and tapped it to make sure it was working, being awarded with a loud SQUEAK for her efforts. One last look at the crowd, just to make sure no one was being disruptive, and then turned back to her commentator. "You can do the rosters, yeah?" And she knew to say certain names extra loudly, too, so.

And then the Quaffle was up. Loads of stuff happened, things occurred, more people passing the Quaffle, Thinsley sco- certain players hair looked REALLY nice today, was she allowed to say that into the mike?

"Ravenclaws in possession! Castell sweeps half the pitch with the Quaffle, unblocked- Snakes, where are you? Don't give her free range!" Were they letting her take it? THEY COULD STEAL IT COME ON, SHE WAS LOOKING AT YOU, ASCANIUS. "Odessa and Kinsley attempt to cut her off, but she's quick with a backhanded pass to Barrington. He ducks under Stark's arm, chucks the Quaffle to Branxton, who is lingering near the hoops.." NOTICEABLE PAUSE. Was he going to score? Like, yeah, Slytherin and all, but GO MO. Invisible blue pompom wave over here.

And. "He shoots, and Hudson dives for the Quaffle, her fingers missing the catch by centimeters. BRANXTON SCORES for Ravenclaw!" Yay. Alice shot a LOOK at the crowd to make sure they were applauding him (they were, weren't they? Excellent shot).

She chewed on a jelly slug distractedly, eyes still glued to the pitch. "Slytherin has the Quaffle, Thi-KINSLEY in possession. Three quarters down the pitch, he passes to Stark, who's right by an unguarded hoop. He raises his arm to shoot, and.. drops the Quaffle." Was he freezing up? Now? REALLY, Ascanius? "DON'T LOOK DOWN, SCANY, IT'S JUST A THIRTY FOOT DRO- I mean. Ahem." Alice cleared her throat, remembering that she was supposed to be professional. "Odessa to the rescue, flying by his fellow Chaser and catching the Quaffle with his head. He headbutts it into the hoop, and McCarthy dives just a SECOND TOO LATE. ODESSA SCORES FOR SLYTHERIN." MENTAL FISTPUMP. YEAH. "WASN'T that an excellent shot, everyone?"

Most definitely. Alice was BEAMING. "Score 30 to 10 in Slytherin's favor." That was a really good shot. She was just going to eat another slug and reflect on it, okay? Your turn, Penelope.

Merlin, Minnie was excited. The blonde's green eyes widened a bit but she shrugged it off. Perhaps the girl had had too much sugar or something. Wouldn't be surprising considering the ice cream in this school seemed to be the most edible option as of late. Speaking of, Ella approved of Minnie's snack choices, okay? Ice cream with gummy worms and hot chocolate? A classic Ella-approved meal at any time of day. Thumbs up, Minerva Wheatborn. "Oh I...well here." She said when she got a chance to speak, as Minnie was rambling on an awful lot. She poured some gummy worms in the girl's hands and then took one for herself. Green. Nom.Nom.Nom.

She saw Harvey arrive and the blonde bit her lip. They hadn't talked in a long time, her and Harvey. Probably time they got over that...or something. "Hey Harvs." Cue a small smile and a little wave.

And then the game was starting and Ella pulled out her yellow notebook and badger pen, ready to take notes. What? She was channeling Keefer right now, okay?

Scribble. Scribble. Scribble.

Face was a good flier and Ella couldn't help but wonder about the surprised look her got on his face when he got the quaffle. That was sort of his job, yeah? And then Theo scored and Ella clapped and smiled faintly. Good for Theoman. Anyway, back to notes.

...

AND THEN PAINT HAPPENED

*SQUEAK*


"MY GUMMY WORMS!"


...They were ruined. And apparently it was all because of O___O Professor Airey? Mini!Chin!Wibble! Throwing paint wasn't nice! Just because he was in love with Professor Romanos and was excited about it didn't mean he could just splatter people as a declaration or something.

SOOOOOOO was she going to be left hanging with the wave.. NO way would Professor Flamsteed leave her hanging... Nope.. nope he would do it, he HAD tooooo... and there he did, "ALRIGHT PROFESSOR!! AWESOME, BUT OH MY GOOD.. NOOO DON'T LET THE GREEN PAINT FALL.." but it did fall, it fell and the ice cream "NO NOT THE ICE CREAM.. SAVE THE ICE CREAM.." but that wasn't saved either. She looked at Ellas' gummy worms, [b] "Think the cleaning spell could fix them?" .. Oh but wait they were flying onto the pitch.. Grabbing her sign and dropping her hot chocolate she started jumping around "Woohooo.. Go Ethan!! Oh my was he looking cute in his quidditch robes. She cheered some more until she heard someone scream her name. Wait what.. did someone say ice cream.

Looking just in time to see Daichi do the way.. OH MY GOODNESS why hadn't she really talked to him before this. HE WAS SOOOOO AWESOME!! "You just did the wave!! YOU JUST DID THE WAVE!! WOOOHOOO and you brought Ice Cream.. I have hot chocolate.." Wait.. where did her hot chocolate go.. Oh no.. the ground. Pulling her wand she cleaned the area, "Good thing I brought a container with it and extra cups." She pulled from her bag and poured two cups. "You have to try this. Put the ice cream in the hot chocolate. West suggested it once and it's AMAZING!!" Oh and then she remembered the falling ice cream "Professor Romanos, Daichi has more ice cream since you lost yours." because that was important to get back...


Then she heard the commentating start and the claws were announced, "WOOHOO ETHAN! THAT'S MY KEEPER BOY!! WOOT WOOT!! and then the game was off. She sipped her ice cream filled hot chocolate and then cringed as West got the first point. "It's alright baby, don't worry about it.. You'll get them!!" She grabbed her sign and waved it, making sure this time to put her drink down no need to spill it again.

Then she noticed a claw sitting alone.. "HARVEY WATSON.. CALLING HARVEY WATSON.." oh wait, she was sitting with Ella.. nope bad idea.. "Sorry Ella.. I'll go talk to him later." She wasn't going to do that to Ella and she was not going to do it to Harvey either. Being friends with everyone was hard at times.

Oh and wait Odessa was getting close again, darn that boy was good, "You got this E.. you can do it!!" She was up with her sign again bouncing around. "COME ON CLAWS!! YOU CAN DO IT!!

Penelope happily nommed on a few cookies while listening to Alice talk and watching the game. Really good game so far, not that she expected any less. And- wait, WHAT WAS ALICE SAYING TO ASCANIUS?

The captain/co-commentator got a kick in the leg for that. NO pointing out how high it was, good grief. He already KNEW that, no need to make it worse. Merlin's beard.

Alice stopped and continued and now West had scored and Mo before that and woot. Her turn.

"McCarthy throws the Quaffle back into play, and it's caught by Barrington. He races for the other end of the pitch, Odessa trying to head him off. Barrington throws it to Branxton, and Kinsley races after him. He reaches forward, passing Stark who's still trying to stay away from the others racing around. Branxton feigns right then goes left, confusing Kinsley for a moment, and the Quaffle is tossed quickly to an open Castell. She races for the hoops and - OH HEY THE BLUDGER! It's flying around and comes dangerously close to Castell, who moves away just in time. Beaters fly after it, they raise their bats and- OUCH! Ferrier smacks it right at Fairfield, who's now dangling from her broom. As Gracae tries to help her Captain back up, Castell is down at the hoops and shoots - OH ALMOST THERE HUDSON - but no, SCORE FOR THE RAVENCLAWS!"

Oh min... Helllooooo ariana shuffled over to her dear friend and sat down "someone's excited" surely it was cause Ethan was playing. But lets get rSal here he was no match for the report twins and stark he just wasnt. Oh the game was starting and they were scoring and doing the....wave... store she knew it her hands were being grabbed and yanked up.. sooooo!? Right? "Ahhh!!"she let out a screech as ICE CREAM landed on her head and shoulders and.. WHO DID THAT?!

Things never did stay quiet in the stands did they? If people were cheering or starting the wave, they were throwing paint. She pulled Biter off her shoulders and into her lap, keeping close to the commentators.

When she was sure paint wasn't going to be thrown in her direction, her eyes went back onto the pitch where they're were much more interesting people to look at. People with good hair.

What was this? WHAT. WAS. THIS?

"That is a brilliant idea, Miss Wheatborn! I'll haff to try it later on." she grinned, eyeing her ice cream. Could she save it until then? Nah, might as well just get more later. OH! Was it not obvious by her green and blue clothing that she was cheering for both teams? Or perhaps it was due to the fact that she only had blue paint streaks on her cheeks. There MUST be green too!

"Both, actually. Paint?" She had PLENTY of paint if Minerva wanted some!

HE WAS SERIOUS?

Well then, who was she to argue with that fact!?

Plus she needed green streaks to go with the blue on her cheeks anyhow. Chuckling, she opened the green paint can, glancing to Leo as he asked where they were to sit. "Umm...right here is good, actually." she said, eyeing the seats they were already at.

She JUST dipped her fingers into the green paint... WHEN ALL PAINT BROKE LOOSE! Quite literally.

"MY PAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIINT!"

_____________She yelled as she was forced to do the wave. Oh, but it went so well with her green and blue clothing!

"OI. PROFESSOR AIREYHEAD. LAY OFF THE PAINT." This sweatshirt was delicate, okay? Alice tugged out her wand and cast an Impervius on herself and her jelly slugs before leaning back in towards the mike. "The Astro man's a wee bit enthusiastic, if you haven't noticed." CAREFUL, Flamsteed, careful. And PENELOPE needed to stop kicking her, that HURT. She hadn't meant to remind Ascanius how high he was or anything. Total accident. And now a bruised shin. Mean.

Anyway, apart from bruised Alices, though.

"Stark in possession of the Quaffle, he seems to have shaken his.. um.. nervousness off.." Side eyes for Penelope, JUST to make sure that was acceptable and that she wasn't going to get KICKED again. Ahem. She went back for the microphone, trying to talk around the jelly slugs in her mouth. "He passes to Odessa," Oh hi, Odessa, Alice paused in the middle of her sentence to beam at nothing in particular, "who proceeds to make his way down the pitch. Branxton and Barrington link arms to form a barricade in front of him, but he feints left and passes to the right. Kinsley catches. Ducking under a wild Castell's broom, he's quick to chuck the Quaffle right into another one of McCarthy's unguarded hoops. Kinsley scores for Slytherin. Yay."

.. well. Not much enthusiasm there. It was THEO.

"Meanwhile, the Seekers.. have spotted something? Near Official James' shoe?" What were they doing? Alice stood and strained her neck to get a better look and.. why didn't she bring omnioculars? Would the telescope spell work now? "They chase for the- possibly- Snitch, Montmorency just inches ahead of Stone, and James hasn't moved out of the way yet.." This was confusing.

.. WHAT WAS GOING ON WAS THAT A PROFESSOR ON HER BUM WAS SOMEONE PHOTOGRAPHING THIS? "Montmorency RAMS into James, trying to grab for the snitch and sends her tumbling to the ground! Ouch, professor, your bum okay?" Hard luck, lady. Alice would maybe save her a sandwich. "Momentarily distracted, Montmorency attempts to spot the snitch again, but it's too late. AIDAN STONE reaches James' feet and pumps his fist in the air victoriously! He's caught the FIRST SNITCH OF THE MATCH FOR RAVENCLAW! Score is 60-40, Ravenclaw." Yeah. GO ROCK. More imaginary Ravenclaw pompoms for him.

There were still more for Dylan, yeah? There were, she knew it. No more kicks, too? Was she doing this right? Satisfied, she reached for another slug again and waited for Penelope to start talking.

Penelope opened another sugar quill while Alice took her turn at commentating, ducking out of the way of the paint. Yum, sugar quills were so good and- WHOA THERE WAS THE SNITCH.

The candy was instantly forgotten as she locked eyes on the snitch around the same time it seemed the Seekers had. She watched intently as she followed its progress, waiting for someone to catch up to it and snatch it right out of the air...

Oh! Aidan had it! Good job, kid. Sad for Dylan, but there would be more for him to get, so no worries right now.

"Okay, so, McCarthy throws it back into play again, and it's caught by Barrington. He heads down the pitch, but finds an Odessa coming right at him, so he makes a quick pass to Castell who comes right up alongside and zooms forward when the Quaffle's in her hands. She's heading right for Stark, and he makes a half-hearted attempt at snatching the Quaffle from her, but she swoops away just in time to pass it to Branxton. He catches it easily and manages to avoid a Kinsley who tries to steal from him. He's at the hoops, he raises his arm, shoots, Hudson dives forward - JUST misses! Good try, Hudson. Another score for the Claws though. Seventy to forty, Claws in the lead."

She took a quick bite of a cookie - sugar quill ignored for now - and then continued once she'd swallowed it down.

"Hudson tosses it back into play and it's caught by Stark. Nice catch. He takes it down a little ways, but the Claws are coming right for him. Odessa zooms over to him, and Stark tosses it neatly to him. Odessa takes off instantly, racing around the Claw Chasers who are coming for him now. Barrington takes a swipe at the Quaffle, but Odessa guides his broom out of the way just in time. Kinsley appears before him and the Quaffle is quickly tossed forward, Branxton tries to reach up and catch it, but it sails just over and is caught by Kinsley, who flies off. He- BLUDGER! Another one makes its appearance near the Chasers, and all the Beaters fly at it. Baltazar raises her bat, swings - but misses when the bludger suddenly changes its course. The Beaters continue after it, and Kinsley is reaching the hoops. He raises his arm, shoots... SCORE! McCarthy only JUST misses! Score's 70 to 50, Claws still in the lead."

Lots more to play though, so it was still anyone's game. And now, those snacks were hers.

Chewing on another slug anxiously and hoping that she wasn't getting doused in paint from behind, Alice kept her eyes glued on the pitch. It was kind of difficult to watch a match with this much NOISE, FLAMSTEED, and snow in her vie- wait, snow? She leaned over and plucked a flake out of Penelope's hair, examining it and the rest of the load that was now falling on her head. And she could feel it, too, so that spell obviously had not worked. She couldn't even SEE anymore. No way they were still playing, right?

"COVER THE SNACKS," she shouted urgently at her co-commentator, tucking her packet of jelly slugs into the sweatshirt pocket and tugging her hood up. Was James making a ruling on this? Alice squinted some more at the pitch, trying to see the professor and finally making out a vague image of the lady (now off her bum) gesturing towards a tent outside the stadium. "ALRIGHT, everyone, since no one can really play in this blizzard, the game's being put off until it dies down. Everyone head out of the stadium and into the warming tent! Take cover! Protect your food!" Because that, obviously, was the most important part.

Making sure Penelope had her box collected, Alice began weaving (read: shoving) her way through the crowd to make room for herself and her Seeker.

She wasn't late OKAY! Well, maybe a little bit. But she had reasons. Very reasonable reasons. All her reasons were reasonable what why they were called reasons. Like the wind she left the empty common room and ran to the stands. She missed the last match but it was ok because Slytherins weren't playing but now it was impossible to miss it! No freaking way. Oh and she had the fee. HA! In your face turnstile….or you know not litetally.

Bundled in a coat with the Slytherin scarf around her neck she slid the fee into the hole and blinked at the people leaving. WOOOH! Finished already. Standing still and listening to the Gryffindor Captain-the commentator- she learnt that there's a break. Oh well, it indeed was cold and it must be hard for the players to play. Though she didn't go with the others, she had many layers on and she liked the cold weather. So she kept ascending and descending to keep herself warm.

When was t his blizzard leaving?

Despite the blizzard from earlier, Alec still headed up to the Stands with a bowl of ice cream clutched in his hands. Because ice cream was important, see. Couldn't go to an event like this without a nice bowl of the delicious dessert. It was like... some sort of unspoken rule. Yeah.

He also had a flask of hot chocolate clutched in his other hand. Just in case, you know.

After paying the two galleons with some difficulty, the sixteen year old walked up the stairs and over towards an empty seat. Which... well... there were quite a lot of empty seats here! This was weird... surely the match was starting soon, yeah? Shouldn't there be more people here already? Unless... they were going to get some ice cream before coming here, just like he had done. They could have an ice cream party here! How awesome would that be?

GRIN.

But... there was someone here! Let's get the ice cream party started, yeah? "Hey..." Friend of Candy Girl's whose name he didn't actually know. "You want some ice cream?" Like anyone was going to refuse ICE CREAM. ... And he was just... going to... sit down on an empty seat near her, yeah? She wouldn't mind, right?

Now could they get back to quidditch!! Minerva made her way back to the stands the weather seemed to be better, so hopefully they could get it in. She had her usual boyfriend given ravenclaw jacket on to support her hot keeper boy, her thermos of hot chocolate, extra cups in her shoulder bag (because others might want some) and this time she brought some extra chocolate ice cream. This was a needed must, because people needed ice cream in the dead of winter watching quidditch.

Finding her seat Min set her bag down and pulled out the GO ETHAN sign that she had made and sat down. Sipping on her already made Ice Cream/ Hot Chocolate mix. Mmm that was good. Looking out at the pitch she saw the players and jumped up.. "GO RAVENCLAWS!! GO ETHAN!!" She hoped this round would be a little better, she knew her boyfriend had been frustrated before.

As she turned back around to the Stands she smiled seeing Alec and was that Cassia, right. "Hey guys!! Great day for Quidditch..How are you both?" She raised her cup to Alec, "I have more hot chocolate and cups if you would like to add some with your ice cream. I have that mix of course." Now eyes back to the pitch just to see a quaffle go through the rings, "It's alright E it's alright.. You'll em Hot Keeper Boy.. You'll get em.!"

Now that the blizzard was over, Penelope made her way with Alice back up to the commentary box, now foodless apart from the new packet of jelly slugs Alice had. Their other food had got smushed and ruined when they tripped in the scramble down to the warming tent. It was VERY upsetting, far more than the game being postponed for awhile. How were they gonna survive on just jelly slugs for the rest of the match? Seekers better hurry up and get those snitches so the game could end.

Wiping some leftover snow off the microphone, she plopped down in her seat and tapped the microphone to make sure it worked, sending another SCREEEEEeeeEEEEEECH through the stands.

"Oh. Yep, it's still working. Hey everyone, welcome back. Hope you didn't freeze off any fingers or lose any snacks you had." Unlike her. So unfortunate. "So anyway, we're resuming from before, I hope I don't actually need to remind you who's playing." People SHOULD be paying attention to that at least. Otherwise why were they here? "We've got a couple roster changes. Looks like Clement Belrose will be filling in for Peyton Baltazar as a Slytherin Beater, and Amelia Johanson is filling in for Nigel Barrington as a Ravenclaw Chaser, and Ravenclaw's down a Beater." Had that many people gotten sick from the blizzard? Or frozen something? Or maybe they just wanted to be inside where it was warm and they could get food. Penelope totally didn't blame them.

"Game's gonna resume as normal, the players are taking to the air and the Quaffle's in play - Ravenclaws grab it instantly. Looks like Johanson has it and is flying for the Slytherin end of the pitch. She flies awfully close to Stark but passes without collision - he's holding on tight to his broom anyway, so all good - she throw the Quaffle to an open Branxton, but Kinsley's right on his tail now, racing forward trying to steal - but no, Branxton's too fast and makes a quick pass to Castell who takes it up the rest of the field. She raises her arm, shoots - OH, nope it's to wide and misses the hoop by inches. Too ba-

SEEKERS ARE SUDDENLY IN A DIVE! There's the snitch, it suddenly turns, still flying a few feet above the ground, and Montmorency and Stone are unfazed though, and following rapidly. They're inching ahead of each other, reaching - then the snitch abruptly turns up again! It's heading right up along the hoops, heading right for Hudson, who instinctively flies out of the way as Montmorency reaches out - and stops. Stone continues flying past but there's no snitch in front of him anymore and he quickly stops, righting his broom and looking down as Montmorency thrusts his fist in the air. He's caught the snitch for Slytherin! 100 to 70, Slytherin now in the lead!"

Yay Dylan! But now jelly slug time.
