Minerva held onto Ethan's hand as they mad their way up the stands. She was so excited to see her old team play. Her family really. She missed them loads. She knew Alec, Kaiden, Lottie, and Ella would be playing. Was she missing anyone? She wasn't sure, but if she were she'd remember quickly seeing them. She also was excited to see Mo and Nigel playing again. Of course it was always fun seeing Aidan and Alec race for the snitch. Oh this was going to be super fun and she just couldn't keep it in. Her smile and light hearted step showed her excitement.

Memory of that final match in her head, she looked around. "I gues we are early. There's Theo it looks like." She waved to the Slytherin, "Hey Theo" she gave another smile before looking again. "Let's sit over there." She pointed and then clutched her best friends Jacket before she could make a run for it. "What do you think Ari?" She beamed knowing she kind of forced her to come with them, but she needed to get out and socialize it would do her some good.

Taking a seat she beamed, "I hope it's a good match. Though Puffs are sure to win." She joked and nudged Ethan a bit. She pulled out the snacks and offered some crackers to Ari, "Hungry?" Leaning back towards Ethan she kissed his cheek, "I'm so glad we came today hot keeper boy." She chuckled before taking a bite out of a cracker. Oh and there was something else. She pulled a thermos out of the bag, "I didn't forget our little tradition either." She handed him over his espresso. Of course she would have brought that.

Why was he coming here again? Bart looked around at the empty stands. Well there weren't many people here so it couldn't have been a match, but wasn't he meeting someone or maybe more people here? He scratched at his bald head and wished he would have put a hat on. It was cold with no hair, really. Shuffling his slippers across the stands he figured he walked all this way a break was going to have to happen. Now that he was sitting he squinted towards the pitch.

Wait there was a match today. He was there to watch his best friend play. That was it right? Merlin he couldn't remember, but whatever he didn't care. He was going to just deal with it and sit for a while before shuffling back to the castle for a nap. Maybe a nap would happen right here if he felt like it. Raising a bit he left one go thinking no one would hear it anyway. There were like a few people but not really close to him, he'd probably be safe.

GOOD. MERLIN.

The Gryffindor was DYING and they thought it a bloody good idea to have a storm in THIS weather??? She would need to speak with Professor Tyner once this was all over. What if she slipped and FELL on her way to the commentator box?? With all this wind and rain Lex could hardly see infront of her, what kind of life WAS this! Trying to send her to an earlier grave than the aging was.

By some great miracle the lion made it to the commentator box and flopped inside, clinging to her seat and getting settled in. The mic was the first thing to be impervius-ed, next was her omnioculars because she still needed to SEE dammit.

As usual, she was the first to arrive for commentating, then people wondered why she liked hogging the mic. Hmph!

After a few taps she got ready to begin. Ahem. "Welcome to the third game of the season, Hufflepuff vs. Ravenclaw and what a game this should be! Don't die out there guys! If you can't see, don't reach! You lot are already promised enough injuries without this storm brewing!" Seriously, she was hoping they were all nicely impervius-ed and had the right gripping charms. This could get ugle fast.

"We have Toby on Keeper for the Puffers, and my bestfriend Lottie beating...and Kaiden...he's beating too. Ahem. For the chasers, we've got Olly, Ella and Annaleecia and going for the snitch today we have Hair Boy! Make us proud Alec!" Aidan wasn't seeking, she could be bias towards the puff seeker if she wanted. It was all the same to her.

"And going for the Claws we've got Vesper on seeker duty, switching things around huh Mo? First Year Brynn Keeping, Nigel will be manning the beater's bat alone it seems and the chasers, Aidan--weird sight indeed, Lily and Mo!"

She leaned forward to watch the match begin. "And they're off in a swirl of blue and yellow!!! Annaleecia's got the quaffle, first time playing nerves must be kicking in. I mean think how NERVOUS she should be. Apparently really nervous because she chucked the quaffle right at Mo. That's not exactly how we do it but sure..........Mo hands the quaffle to Lily, who passes it to Aidan, the pitch is all his with these old people lopping about--oh! What's this? Olly swoops in, yanks the quaffle and kicks it pass the ickle Firstie. Nice shot!"

And the Quaffle was retrived. Amazing anyone could see in this weather, really. "Quaffle back in play. Olly has a smug look as she receives the Quaffle from Ella. Will she pull off a second? Doesn't look like it. Aidan zips pass his teammates without a second glance, grabbing the quaffle and giving it a hard tug--Oi! You trying to fall or something? Be careful! ANYWAY, he steals the quaffle, gives a mean look to Toby he must have gotten the mesage loud and clear because the quaffle goes through the hoop without resistance! Looks like a tie at 10-10."

Dora was as usual here to support her friends on both teams, though she was dressed in no yellow since there wasn't enough of them on that team she liked to warrant doing so. It was all blue for this prefect.

She made her way up the stands, shaded eyes looking for her friends and spying only Theo so far. Weird, since they usually were more crazy for the sport than she, but okay since he was still a friend and all. The sixteen year old made her way up the stands and took a seat beside him half smiling. "Hi."

Oh, Alexa was commentating? This would be interesting then.

The first thing professor Bellaire did when she hobbled up to the comentator box was to grab the mic from Alexa. Honestly, she couldn't believe she wound up here with her again. Just her luck wasn't it? The good aging genes had skipped her (she was completely grey! for crying out loud) and she was stuck with Cambridge in a storm. Her life.

She cleared her throat.

"Oooooh, lovely goal by Olivia Clarke thanks to a clinical pass from her fellow team mate and chaser Ella Bishop. Hufflepuff have definitely taken this match by the neck." She cleared her throat. "Did you hear that over the crash of thunder? I'm sure you did, Mo took a quite a hit from that bludger, sent his way by the fierce Lotus Wisteria. My my, what are they feeding you lot at this school?" Shiver. "Young Tobias will definitely not be intimidated by his upper class man as that shot from Aidan stone was blocked and with a smirk too. Great goal hufflepuff!"

Huh.

He didn't think anyone else was here yet, but ooh, Minnie. Graduate Minnie. Theo, despite his worsening mood, waved and smiled big at the former Hufflepuff. As soon as she looked away, Theo's smile dropped and his hand fell back into his lap.

Alexa Cambridge was commentating? Ugggh... headache already.

The game had started and Theo was seriously concerned with the lack of people in the stands. Course, these sort of games weren't likely to be as popular as the ones involving Slytherin, but this turn out was ridiculous. Mostly he was worried that the ageing thing had struck them all to an early grave or something. Anyway... the match. Theo did a quiet 'oooooooooh' at the rosters as they were announced. Vesper was seeker today, huh? Maybe this match would make an interesting watch.

He did see Dora making her way up to the stands, but he pretended to be too focused on the match to notice. It was only until she actually sat beside him, that he turned to look.

"Oh... hey." He smiled genuinely this time, but his heart was doing little flutters every time he looked into her eyes. Best to keep them on the pitch, actually. "Long time no see." And yes, he would ignore the fact that she probably only sat with him because there was no one else.

Was that... Professor Bellaire commentating, too?!?!?! GASP. He hadn't heard that voice in a while.

Lana hadn't been to a Quidditch game yet. Sad, right? But she was here now, because she was curious as to why her brother liked playing so much and why he didn't want her to play. To bad it wasn't Gryffindor, though. 'Cause that would be cool.

Still, though, at least she made it in time for the first snitch capture! She cheered along with the crowd since she didn't care who won and was just here for the experience. Still standing, since she was too short to see sitting down, Lana watched the match.

HER MIC!

WHy did she never get people who could understand that the mic belonged to HER?? Even in her old age she still had rights you know, rights that were already being violated in this weather where safety was concerned. What if a piece of the stands got disconnected and came flying right at her?? Did no one think this far ahead?

Her hand was itching for the mic again, seriously itching so the moment Bellaire lowered it she was quick to snatch it and scoot a bit further away from her.

"I see some loose bludgers flying around the place, I dunno if you're all seeing them but look out! Ella's got good sight for a hunching old lady on her broom, she skillfully dodges the bludger and catches the quaffle but it must have taken a toll on her wrist because she dropped it!! Good thing Annaleecia was there to pick it up but poor girl, no confidence in her own throw, she hands it to Olly who goes for another goal! She's on a roll today, little Brynn just can't keep up!"

What...what.....hang on there. "I see a flash of yellow! There's something yellow! Be on the look out!!! Hair Boy! Do you SEE it????" Totes not bias at all here.

"Toby isn't letting his guard slip anymore it seems. Lily gets a feel of the quaffle, but that's all she's willing to take before passing the quaffle to Aidan. Pull yourself together Mo, your team needs you!! The claws go for a shot but Toby does a quick spin, thwacking it away with the end of his broom. Boss work right there."

....The snitch! "Both seekers are pushing through in this storm. Poor Hair Boy, he'll never make it in this storm, just look at his wobbling broom!!! Timeout! Can I call timeout? I should, Alec's not looking good up there. He's about to grab the snitch but falters and spins. In his moment of disorientation Vesper reaches and catches the snitch."

This was where she handed the mic back grdugingly and she would have too but then there was another play!!! "Theodore Kinsley better watch out! Looks like Olly's going for top spot on the Chaser board! After receiving a pass from Ella, who's now worried about her wrinkly boyfriend, she smirks at little Brynn, poor Firstie shivering in the whipping winds and cold--think the wind might be trying to take her away--Olly shoots! She SCORES!"

Dora's eyes had flickered to the pitch for a long moment, since that was why she was here and all. To watch all the pretty people. No surprise that Hufflepuff was playing so well. But then he spoke and her eyes turned back to him and was rewarded with that smile of his. "This close, yes." She herself was still a fan of attending all practices and matches, and often saw him. Though it had been a while since they last talked. "How've you been?"

Honestly, every time she ended up doing these things, she got stuck with Cambridge, never mind that it happened only twice. Two times was one too many for her. She pulled the collar of the Gryffindor's coat and with all her strength hauled her closer to her. She could use the warmth, as well as the mic, which she snatched away again.

"This has turned out to be quite an exciting game and it looks to continue that way as Toby blocked the shot that was sent his way by Lily." Sophia squinted as the weather worsened. She wasn't even sure that they should be allowed to play in weather like this. Was this safe? Not for her anyways, definitely not in her old age. "Again Lotus Wisteria with a mean hit that connected with Aidan Stone's shoulder. That is sure to leave a mark. That woman is volatile!" She sneezed and dabbed at her nose with her hanky. "Okay the ball is back in play, quaffle to Ella then to Annaleecia , back to Olivia who scores! What a shot!" She turned to glare at Alex and she swatted her hand as she reached for her mic again. "No touchy!...wait wait I think the snitch has been spotted, Vesper and Alec are both heading in the direction of the barely visible golden snitch. The greying Alec Summers is no match for Vesper who easily snatches the snitch from under from his finger tips. Maybe next time headboy. Good going Ravenclaw."

Bart was just sitting half dozing as he waited. Bobbing his head at the sleeping moments and jerking it back up when he realized he was sleeping. Hard work for a twelve year old ninety something man. As more people arrived he looked around. Noticing some girl sit near him he smiled, "I've seen you around before." He'd possibly met her before too, but couldn't remember. "Who you cheering on today?"

Oh and look the match had started. He looked around and froze as he saw Brynny at keeper. So she had to have lied to him then. Huff... No one that had never flown before made keeper right off the bat. Nice best friend lying about her flying abilities to him. She was better than him it looked like and that wasn't something he swallowed easily, but never mind that he would cheer for her anyway. She was his best friend.. he thought. "Do you like quidditch?" because he had never seen her around the stands before.

Shut up, Alexa.

Theo wasn't even a chaser anymore.

But thanks for reminding him.

<___<

Still... as a keeper, Olly's sudden moves made him a little nervous. But then again, Hufflepuff always made him nervous. Ravenclaw seemed to be showing them what for today, though. Look at Vesper catching all of those snitches!!! Good.

This really was the worst time EVER for him and Dora to be speaking, because he was in a FOUL mood. Definitely not in the mood to try and show off everything she was missing. This close. Of course. "Sure... I saw you at the ball." He commented. Glad to see she wasn't with any other guy, obviously. "Disappointed you didn't stop by my booth." There we go, let's try and make this less awkward. Theo smiled down at his lap and watched his red raw hands. He rubbed them together but oooooouch.

"Fine." Wasn't gonna tell the truth, was he? "Fine, yeah... just tired." In general. Theo was always tired these days. Exhausted, in fact. "What about you?" He stuck his still-freezing hands into his pockets and looked over to her.

Game got boring quick when he was sitting here with Dora.

Whoa whoa whoa!!!

Lex felt herself sliiiiiding back across the seat until she was attached to the Professor's side. Well this was awkward. Her breath caught in her throat at the mic being stolen again but there was nothing to be done about it in the middle of her commentating. Just had to sit here in all this closeness, twiddling her thumb and watching Lottie hit Aidan...yeah....she wasn't even going to pretend to be surprized. Nope. It was bound to happen.

Was she done? GOOD. Not trying to find out, Lex took the mic back but didn't try sliding away again. No need to risj being wand-handled next time.

"The Ravenclaws are still trying to get back where there chasers are concerned. In a storm like this it could be anyone's game even with them having the advantage. With two of the three injured flying must be something near impossible. After the smack to the head for poor Mo, he doesn't seem to be in the game at all, Aidan and his new found shoulder injury seem to be having a grand time up there too. It's down to Lily for this play. She retrieves the quaffle from Mo and takes it down the pitch, dodging as she goes--how? I dunno in a storm like this but good on her! Quaffle headed for the hoops. Toby squints in the rain, he reaches forward, headbutting the quaffle to the side--TOBY BLOCKS THE SHOT!!!"

He was just showing off, but he had every right to, the kid was brilliant! She didn't know anyone who defended the goals like he did...except Melanie...she missed her.

"Hufflepuffs take possession of the quaffle again. Ella looks bent on taking this shot herself after having sat out for most of the game! She takes the quaffle from Annaleecia and does a kind of dysfunctional zigging fly down the pitch but she's cut off by a bludger she narrowly misses, causing her to drop the quaffle, before the 'Claws can repossess the quaffle Olly grabs it for her millionth score of the game."

...Hey...wasn't that...a bludger. Even with her ominoculars there was a bit of squinting needed but she could see it. Right THERE being swung by Lottie. Yup. "Look alive everyone, bludger being swung by Lottie, she gives a powerful swing--you see the power behind it? Probably not in this weather but it was THERE and the bludger connects with Nigel's stomach....that's gotta hurt--BUT THAT'S MY BEST FRIEND GUYS!!!! The score is now 60-80 in favour of the 'Claws!"

Oh. Someone was talking to her. ...An old someone. Lana studied the person for a minute before deciding he was probably one of those old people hanging out the school lately. Weird. But she wasn't going to mention it. That would be mean, wouldn't it?

"I've never seen you," was all she said about that. But she continued on to answer her question. "I don't know. I'm a Gryffidor, see." She showed him her red and gold scarf as if it wasn't obvious - he was old, maybe he couldn't see. Her grandpa was like that. "So mostly I'm just here to watch. And cheer when anything good happens for anyone." Yep. That was okay, right?

She continued to watch the man until he spoke again, losing interest in the sport she was supposed to be watching altogether. "I don't know. I've never been to a match." With that, she looked back out at the pitch. "I'm not supposed to, I think. Do you like it? Do you play? You look too old." Whoops. It slipped.

"You looked dashing." She didn't get to say, but she had noticed. Just like she noted how she didn't get her dance, but that was okay too. She'd just snag that some other time. "I didn't think it appropriate to, all things considered." Her eyes stayed on his face mostly because it had changed a lot, but eventually moved to his lap since it seemed so interesting to him. She inclined her head at his hands, even if he couldn't see. "What's up with your hands?"

Was it obvious she was loosing interest in the game? It was obvious, but she still stole little peeks at the pitch whenever the noise of the crowd intensified. "I'm alright. Been busy." With all the things. It also wasn't appropriate to go into detail about those things.

Stupid Weather now on top of his eyes being blurry the rain was going to make him sick he just knew it. He couldn't stay well to save his life and right now he was worried about the D word as it was. Looking towards the girl he shook his head, "No.. no I know I've seen you around. I'm a Gryffindor too. A second year actually." Yeah.. yeah he knew he didn't look like it, but neither did anyone else at the moment.

His eyes moved back to the pitch. Oh.. That girl on the broom.. Bra girl's girlfriend wasn't it? She was good and Brynny wasn't standing a chance. Okay maybe she wasn't lying, because right now that girl was getting everything past her, but with her old self she might need glasses to see the quaffle. "COME ON BRYNNY" Yes he would yell all he could, but that just started some coughing. "My best friend is the Keeper." He pointed towards the gray haired girl playing for the claws.

Then his dull brown eyes looked over the girl, "I'm only twelve. Have you not noticed it's been around the school a lot. Students getting old. Something is very wrong." She had noticed right and clearly she hasn't changed, she should be careful it might happen soon. "Why have you never been to a match? Quidditch is the greatest sport there is. You should try it." He nodded, he could teach her. It would be fun. "I play chaser for our house team. You should come to one of our matches." See get her interested. "I'm Bart by the way." In case she wanted his name.

Compliments... okay. He knew as much anyway, since he had received plenty of attention from the ladies that night to last a lifetime. Not from her, though, so the dashing comment was kinda nice. "Thanks." Theo muttered with a smile, which faded a little at her next comment. He was just KIDDING about the kissing booth, but yeah, whatever. His hands?? "Huh? Nothing." Was he being that dramatic? "They're just cold, that's all." Because of the weather and stuff. They were warming up in his pockets, though. Big coat was doin' goooood.

Well, good. Given the 'reasons' she broke up with him, knowing that she was alright was good. "Great." He said, not lazily, but not very enthusiastically either. "Anything exciting?" His attention was caught when another snitch grab was made. His eyes squinted down at the pitch and he smiled when he saw it was VESPER with the golden ball.

"Looks like the game's over." He didn't clap because you know, effort. Things were feeling awkward again here. Theo kinda wanted to LEAVE and go to sleep.

A second year. Lana narrowed her eyes at him for a moment but decided to believe him.

And then he started cheering. She jumped in surprise and turned her attention to the match that was going on. A red ball was being tossed, others were being hit at players... those were the bludgers, she assumed. Jake had told her about those. "Keeper." She repeated, looking over at the goal posts. "Which team?" She looked at him, saw where he was pointing, and looked over at the Ravenclaw goal posts. "Oh. I don't know her." In case he was wondering. Lana didn't know much of anyone, really.

"No, I've noticed," she answered somewhat defensively. She wasn't unobservant, thank you very much. She was about to say more but he started talking again. About Quidditch. Lana listened and nodded. "Because I've been doing other things. There's a tree house here, you know? And a library." Surely he knew that. "I'm not supposed to play. It's dangerous." And that made him the second person to offer to teach her to play the sport. Which was actually nice. "Maybe," she said. Maybe. "Do you like playing, then? Have you ever gotten hurt?"

Oh! "Bart!!" She repeated. "I remember you! We've met before! You were much younger. I'm Lana!" Remember? Did he remember?

This was her last time hosting anything with this child, so what if she was a good babysitter? She was selfish with the mic which she was about to lose thank you very much. Sophia took it out of her cold wrinkly hands and held it with both her gloved ones.

"Mr. Tempus is on fire today as another shot sent his way by Marcus Branxton was blocked. Look at that look of determination on his face. Did you see that? Of course you didn't this weather is foul. Also I think Lotus Wisteria is in need of some sort of therapy after this game, she definitely has some steam blowing off in this game! That was a wicked shot at Lily Potter. I'm almost sure something is broken. Achoo!! HufflePuff with the quaffle and Olivia is heading straight to the goal, she shoots and scooores! Goal Hufflepuff! Seems RavenClaw decided get their revenge because Nigel Davis sent a wicked shot to Lotus wisteria taking her out of the game. With the Hufflepuff team one man down now would be a good time to seal the deal and they do as Vesper closes her hand around the final snitch of the game. But wait team captain Mo is wanting to put a nail in the coffin as he sends another shot at goal, which sadly misses! And that would be it. The whistle from Professor Tyner signals the end of the game. That is RavenClaw 120 and HufflePuff 60. Well played teams, now everyone get out of the cold!"

Schuyler was watching the match and whoa, like.. her girlfriend was basically the best player.

Or at least the best chaser.

Tucked under the wraps and wraps of a long scarf, Schuyler almost resembled a bandit as she watched. It was keeping her face warm, though. Why was it still so cold? Wasn't it supposed to be going in to warmer weather soon? This cold could go. Go away.

If Olly weren't playing for Hufflepuff, Schuyler would be rooting for Ravenclaw. Because Mo and Aidan and Nigel were all doing awesome for the Eagles.

Oh, ouch. That bludger to the stomach didn't look too fun for Nigel, though. Good thing he probably had some killer ab muscle protection under those robes.

Cold? Dora smiled to herself amused, often forgetting that her friends - him included - were so easily affected by the cold weather that to her wasn't that cold at all. "There are charms for that you know." Maybe she'd given that sweater to the wrong person, because clearly he needed it right now.

The reasons she broke up with him still stood, but at the moment Dora was very much in better spirits. A shrug rolled of her shoulders a bit carelessly. "Nothing really. Just ready for the summer." Sorta. This term's ending would be worse than the others for certain.

"We won." She grinned at the pitch, Vesper mostly. That girl seriously had some skill. Dora did stand and do a little cheering for her house before settling beside him one more. "I guess that means our chat's over...."

Bart didn't even notice the narrowing of eyes, blurred vision right now and all, but he was more focused on the game anyway. The teams were playing well and just coming from playing Puffs last match the claws were beginning to scare him. They were good and that totally meant he was going to have to be on his best playing skills. How was that to work with this old crap going on.

He nodded towards the girl, "Yes keeper, do you know the positions? I could try to explain them to you." He was willing to explain them if she needed. He would always have time for quidditch. It was his favorite topic and all. When he noticed that she looked he shrugged, "Her names Brynny she's a first year claw. I should introduce you. She's a great friend." His best friend was one of the best, so she should meet her.

Good she noticed, she should they were everywhere. "It's hard not too, it's just weird. One day I'm fine the next I'm growing a beard, a week later I'm bald." Yep he was bitter about the bald and the wrinkles. He didn't like them at all, but it could be worse, some were complaining about aches and stuff. That he didn't really have much of. Just a shoulder issue really. "I've been to the tree house." The library was a big no though. He wasn't going near that place with all those books.

"Dangerous! Of course it's dangerous it's quidditch. That's what makes it so fun. Look at them out there. Flying and going after quaffles, bludgers, the snitch. It's exciting." His voice showed his excitement. "Cricky if you didn't have the danger you'd midaswell be playing with dolls." Really, it wasn't a sport for babies. He gave her a grin as she said maybe. "Really you should try it. It's fun and I know you would love it if you tried it." Laughing and thought about lying to her for a split second but his ego got int he way, "Of course I got hurt before. A few times. Took a bludger to the gut last match for the captain." Honorable man thing and all. "But some don't get hurt and others only get hurt a little, plus we are wizards we have magic to heal quickly." So no big deal.

Eyes turning on her again Bart then notice, "Lana, you were talking to the captain about quidditch once, right? I do remember you. You had someone that played or something, right?" His memory was bad, but maybe he got something right for once.

Theo mimicked her smile and shrugged. "I suck at charms." It was a lot easier to admit these days, because he had hardly improved at all since first year so he was pretty used to it. Yeah, summer, good. He wasn't sure if he was excited for it as such, since zero plans as usual, but he was excited to get out of this school for sure. "Me too." Yup.

And he was gonna be seventeen! WOOT.

Thinking about it, Theo was glad Ravenclaw won, and that Vesper hadn't played seeker during THEIR game. Not that he didn't have every faith in Derry, because he did, but Vesper was a little scary. Oh. Over? Sheesh, she didn't have to make it sound like she was so obligated to talk to him today. He'd have been much happier sat on his own, you know. "Fine." He said lazily. "Nice to see you, and stuff." Theo pulled his coat tighter around him and maneuvered himself to get up.

"I can help you if you need." Because she didn't suck, and if it was one charm she'd mastered for the sake of others it was a warming charm. It would possibly be harder to see him over summer. Not impossible. Maybe. She tilted her head to the side and considered him for a moment. "Will I see you then?"

Dora didn't actually care who won for championship reasons since she didn't particularly care for the sport, but did that mean a party in the common room since they won this match? Or was everyone too aged for that? She didn't think so, since they played and all. "Yeah." She said pensively. He didn't sound particuarly happy, but she was took his words as the truth. "I'll see you around then." And she didn't get up, because she planned on watching him go.

"I'll let you know if I do." He said with a sincere smile. He was doing okay with it at the moment, but only in classes. Theo could never learn a charm by himself by studying. He looked at her closely to try and understand exactly what she meant before saying anything. Did she mean the summer? She wanted to see him in the summer? "Sure!" He said with the most enthusiasm he had given off this whole conversation. Clearing his throat, he tried again. "Sure. If you want. Was this progress, or......

Remind Theo to punch himself in the face as soon as he got back to the common room. He really hadn't planned for his first conversation with Dora in AGES to be such a train wreck, but alas, here they were. "Yeah. See you around." Maybe. Theo gave the pitch one final look as everyone started to land. Ravenclaws looking all happy. Flipping Ravenclaws were so annoying. He immediately regretted his choice in being happy for their win, not that it was their fault, but because he really was in no mood.

He got up, gave Dora a firm nod, then strode down the stands with his hands stuffed into his pockets still.

She wasn't sure she believed those words, considering how little they spoke now, but she had offered and that was all she could do. "Of course I want." She smiled in returned. That was why she asked, wasn't it? And while she planned on doing a lot of traveling this summer, she could easily fit time for him in.

Dora was kind of hoping for another smile before he left, but all she got was a nod and the view of him walking away. But this was progress, yeah? Maybe. She sat after he was gone for a while staring at the pitch and her excited housemates before leaving herself, planning on making the common room before it got crazy.
