| | |  Quidditch Payment Center
 Before you can enter the stands, a big line of multicolored turnstiles magically materializes out of thin air to effectively block your path. You cannot go around the turnstiles and using magic on them will not have the slightest effect. If you want to attend today's quidditch match, you need to pay a flat fee of 2 galleons to get in every time you wish to come in. You insert the money in the little hole on top off one of the turnstiles. The turnstile will then unlock and will allow you to pass through and get into the pitch.
OOC: The turnstiles will be seen by everyone regardless of year, house, or age. You must make at least one post in here before posting elsewhere in the matches forum this term. If you don't, watch your back. 
AND PLEASE NOTE: You CANNOT go around, under, over, etc. the turnstiles. Not only are the little bars physically blocking your path, but they also as a whole act as an invisible force field barring you from the pitch until you pay. Please cooperate with this portion of the plot or your posts WILL be deleted. | |

Quidditch today! Woot!!!
No way was she gonna miss a match if she coul help it. Lex KNEW there was a turnstile, she wa prepared--HOLY KNEAZLE 2 galleons for shoddy playing??? It wasn't like these were professional matches!!! Ugh, you know how many chocolate frogs she could buy with this?? Were it not for one of her best friends playing she might have boycotted. Well no, actually she wouldn't, it wasn't all that much to her but it was the principle of the thing.
She inserted her 2 galleons then entered because QUIDDITCH!!!

Such an obstacle. She came here excited and pumped and wanted to claim her usual post right away but of course this stands in the way. Cassia glared at the turnstile while she retrieved the fee.
Yeah, well, good thing she had money on her. No need to test people's willingness to lend money those days.

Money, this school was ALWAYS out for Arianas hard earned money. Though it wasnt everyday the best team in all of hogwarts played a game, so she decided to come and "support" but first she had to give up her galleons.
one
two
Into the turnstile they went, and to the stands, she went.

He was not late... he was not late... he was not late...
That's what Alec had been telling himself as he raaaaaaaaaan all the way towards the stands with a flask of hot chocolate in one hand and a half eaten toast in the other. He could almost FEEL the nerves and anticipation for the match and he wasn't even playing! That meant... that the game had already started, yeah? MAN. Why was he so LATE?!
... Oh right. Hair. Yeah. No one needed to know about tha--
... BLINK. Turnstiles? He wasn't aware of THIS. And TWO galleons! TWO WHOLE GALLEONS! Alec stood there for a couple of seconds, looking down at the thing. He had been hoping that these things would have been completely gone by now. No more turnstiles for life. But... that didn't seem to be the case. He stuffed his toast in his mouth and let it hang there before reaching for his wallet. Two of the gold coins were picked out and deposited into the turnstile. There. Now he could move through, yeah?
Turn... FREEDOM.
And... now he needed to run and try not to miss any MORE of the match.

Minerva walked up to the turnstiles, even these blasted things weren't taking her mood today. She was going to enjoy the match and enjoy the company she was meeting there. Juggling both her hot chocolate and Ethan's espresso in one hand she pulled out her money and put it in the turnstile.
Once she had paid she readjusted her bag on her shoulder took her hot chocolate back in her other hand and made her way up the stands. This wind was horrid maybe she should have grabbed a blanket before coming outside.

Sighh....
Again with the turnstiles? This was getting ridiculous. But he really wanted to see this match so he reached into his pocket and took out 2 galleons and paid the fee. Then he went through waiting to see what was on the other side.

She was not late. She was not late. Elsie Fairfield was never late. Ever. It was a fact that people knew. The match hadn't started yet, right? Okay. Good. She wasn't late. Commentating had begun, though, so that wasn't good. She would have run to the stands but there were the blasted turnstiles. Didn't they have enough money as it was?
Two galleons. Merlin, that was not cheap! Searching desperately in her pocket for the heavy gold coins, she grinned triumphantly as they fell into her palm. Great. Now she just had to slip them in and then turn the turnstiles and...
SHE MADE IT! She hadn't missed that match. Phew.

Darn Quidditch payment center..... Tora scowled as she plopped in the fee. Normally she would just miss the game, but this one was a Ravvie game so she had to go. Clink, clink, clink.... She pushed through, her face brightening as she got past the turnstiles to enter the stands.

Alright! Quidditch was having a two-fer-one and Cutty wasn't about to miss out on this. He reached into his pocket, and pulled out two shining gold galleons. Thank you, Professor Tyner! This had been a good idea! | |

Adi decided it was time he actually turned up for a Quidditch match. He had slept in for the others so he figured why not make the effort this time. Plus there were two matches that day so how could he miss that excitement. Adi quickly let the turnstile eat his two galleons before he hurried to catch up with his new Snake friend. "Yo, Cutty! Wait up!''
Feeling thrilled to be back, Jory slowly made his way to the Stands. Slowly because he was reminiscing. How he missed Hogwarts and the people here! And he hoped he would be seeing some of them today. "These things are still around?'' he asked himself. He fished into his pockets and paid the turnstile the two galleons. Now for a relaxing day of quidditch! | |

Belle made it the quidditch payment center. She never had to do these turnstile things back when she was in school. She made her payment of two galleons and continued to walk through to meet her friend on the other side.

Vesper had just finished playing in a match...but figured she still wasn't exempt from paying the turnstiles. Good thing about it, though...when she'd helped Nigel back up to Ravenclaw, she'd thought to grab coins. Fantastic insight on her part, yes.
Carefully inserting them into the slots, she proceeded forward, turning the metal bars as she did so. And then she was off...moving to find a good seat.

Laura didn't like the fact that she had to pay but she knew that she should do everything that she was told to and so she paid the money in and went and sat down in the stands, surely the Professor should do something about this because it just wasn't right.

Nigel had laid down for a couple minutes in the common room think about things. Until he was pretty sure the only way to accomplish what he was thinking was to go back down to the quidditch pitch. Might as well change out of his robes.Such a weird feeling have to play to enter. When you had just played a match. But rules were rules and Nigel had a purpose for paying this money now. Nigel payed the amount of galleons need and walked on through to the stands.
Now to be neutral in this match and find Blue.

Not known for his patient streak, Cutty Mordaunt rolled a gold coin along the side of the turnstile as he waited to see if Aditya Rehman would show. It wasn't planned or anything, but he did run into him last time and he wanted to see if it would happen again. Why wasn't Adi on the team? Why wasn't HE?
It gave him idle hands anyway and there was plenty to be done with those.
After about...well, really it only ammounted to seconds Cutty shoved in his coins and headed up to the stands. Maybe Rehman had already gotten seats. Good ones. So he could stare at his favourite player.

Dylan made his way to the payment center and dug into his pocket, pulling out two galleons just as he reached the turnstiles. Quickly, he slid them into the slots and then made his way to the stadium to find his seat. He had a good feeling about today's game, it was going to be good! Obviously because the best team was playing: Hufflepuff. He was pumped to cheer his house team on.

Sky pulled the required two galleons out of her pocket, poked them through the slot, then made her way through the turnstiles.

Sophie didn't really understand having to pay for a Hogwarts Quidditch match. The professional stuff? Sure. Well worth the money. But paying to see teenagers, many of whom her friends, pitted against each other in a fierce battle that most took far too seriously - including herself?
...Okay, maybe it was worth it, too. After all, this was the final match of the term. The winner of the Quidditch Cup would be decided today. AND Cat was playing. That right there made the little Ravenclaw supposed it was worth the steep price of two galleons, plucked them into the turnstile's slot, and passed through into the stands to meet Mo.
