  ✮ Sɛƈօռɖ Yɛǟʀ Gʀʏʄʄɨռɖօʀ Cɦǟsɛʀ ✮ Gid cheered loudly for his friend, hoping he wouldn't get hit too hard this game. From what experience he had thus far, Seekers and Beaters usually got hit... and hard. He was highly focused on the game, still clinging tight to the rails. In fact, when he heard his name, he looked around for several seconds before focusing on Jazzy. She sounded annoyed, and called him daft, so he looked a bit confused. He very quickly realized she was referring to his lack of crutches right at that very moment. When she said he'd better be holding on, he grinned. "Aw, don't worry too much about me, Jazzy! I'm alright. Besides, my crutches are just there, by my seat. I just.. wanted to do without for a moment." He nodded, then turned to sit with her... but he couldn't reach. Oh well. He could stand a while longer. Jazzy asked about the game, and Gid glanced back at the players, specifically a certain white-haired Seeker. "No scores, Seekers have both tried catching, but without success, and several hits have been made by the Beaters." He glanced at his crutches again, realization as to his rather bad idea setting in. He didn't want to outright ask Jazzy, since he didn't want to have to admit his stupid childlike desire to stand. It was hard for him, plus the crutches made his arms hurt sometimes. He looked around again, then grinned at Jazzy.

What a great day for a quidditch game!
Jonah sat comfortably in his spot by the wall of one of the stands, notepad and quill on his lap and camera by his right side. He was of course a little disappointed he likely wouldn’t be participating in this game, being a reserve, but he was happy to support his team from the sidelines nonetheless. Plus this way he would be able to write an article and take pictures of the game for The Daily Dragon! He wasn’t sure if his material would even be used, being a rookie in the club and all, but at the very least it would be useful to have for his portfolio.
He arrived early enough to get a decent seat and was currently using his camera as a placeholder for Sonora. He mentioned to her on his way out of the common room this morning he would save her a seat if she wanted to come, and he hoped she would make her way over before the game started. In the meantime, he kept to himself, doodling pictures in his notepad while he waited for the action to start.

The sky we’re looking at today
♪♫ Sonora Li first year || Ravenclaw || halfblood
Music club || Reserve Keeper
_______________
Sonora hurried out to the Quidditch pitch with a notebook tucked under her arm. She primarily had music scrawled in it, but for some pages, the musical staff served as writing lines. Today she was going to scrutinize what keepers did--it was the last position she thought she'd hold, but if she was going to be on the team, even as a reserve, then she wanted to do it well.
"Hey! Thanks for saving me a spot," She greeted Jonah with a cheerful smile when she found him in the stands, camera by his side. "Are you taking pictures for the Dragon today?"
She offered him a paper cup and revealed a flask of pumpkin juice she'd gathered from the breakfast table that morning in preparation. Quidditch wasn't a concert, but concerts were the closest thing she had as reference and she'd always wanted something fancy to drink at those. The adults had their wine at intermission; she and her friends could have pumpkin juice during Quidditch matches.
Flipping through her notebook for a blank page, she paused at a bright green postit note, murmuring it aloud to herself: "Remember? Oh right. Astronomy notes, sheet music, ah, I still owe Jonah an explanation about Herbology the other day," . She had thought through her words, and decided that putting it off too long or saying in any vague terms would be dishonest to him. With a glance up at the pitch, she noted that both teams were still stretching and getting ready. She turned to Jonah seriously. "I still owe you an explanation about Herbology on Friday... If you don't mind, I'll explain now?" she repeated, drawing a little breath. She hadn't even told best friend at home or talked about this with anyone but her parents really.
She waited for him to affirm to the question before continuing, a little quietly so she didn't disturb their happy classmates just out to enjoy a nice day and a nice Quidditch game. Her words though, were clear, without the stutter from that day. "I'm...afraid of being trapped. I think that's the best way to put it. It's not the being in closed spaces or even small spaces or even alone. But when it happens...I just freeze up and stop thinking right. My thoughts start doing stupid things."
She looked down and smoothed out the postit briefly before looking back up. "I didn't honestly think I was going to panic like that just because Professor Hill locked the door," she admitted. "It just...suddenly everything seemed to be foreign and scary. I was imagining what if all our classes were in locked rooms and...it doesn't make sense, but that was scary."

“Of course!” Jonah smiled at Sonora’s greeting, moving his camera to his other side between him and the wall so she could take her seat. “Yes and no…? I’m going to be taking photos and writing an article, but it’ll likely be more for my portfolio than anything. I’m sure they would use a senior member’s material if there is any—I’d be amazed if they didn’t.”
Jonah took the paper cup with a raise eyebrow before she revealed the pumpkin juice. “Pumpkin juice at a quidditch match…? Sona, you’re brilliant.” Yes, he was confident they had to be on the same wavelength at this point, because pumpkin juice was probably his favorite drink in the history of the world. He would have never thought about packing some up for a game! Sona was so great.
Jonah shifted in his seat to face Sona a bit better, one leg pretzel style on the bench and the other dangling off like a civilized citizen. He was admittedly reading her sticky note over her shoulder, but with her mumbling about it, it was hard not to pique his curiosity. He was about to open his mouth to ask about it when Sona started on her explanation, causing Jonah to snap his lips shut and nod furiously for her to proceed. He listened intently as he sipped contentedly at his pumpkin juice. It was heavenly.
“Did something happen in your life to cause this…?” Jonah asked quietly, clear worry on his face as he listened. He realized he had spoken that aloud and shook his head to dismiss it. “No, actually, don’t answer that. Not if you don’t want to, I mean… I get that had to be hard to tell me...” He smiled sweetly. “But also thank you for telling me. I don’t know about our other classes, but I’ll be sticking by you in Herbology. What can I do to make it easier?” Jonah was truly touched that she had actually confided to him about something like this, especially since he hadn’t actually expected her to bring it up again—at least not anytime soon. Since she did, he would do what he could to help her through it. What were friends for, right?

"No, that's okay--I mean, I don't mind telling you." That said, Sonora had to pause for a minute to figure out how to word what had happened--the parts she remembered anyways. She was resolved to answer anything that came up though-- she he owed it to him--if not because he'd been there for her during class, but because...well, friends were honest with each other, right?
"My dad tells me that when I was little I got trapped in a little cave during a landslide. I don't really remember it, but I've made him tell me about it so much that I think I can imagine it sometimes-- do you know what I mean? When you're not sure if the memories are real but you have them anyways? It's like having a dream that just occasionally comes to mind." Sonora shuddered a little, then waved her hand, as though the memory or dream or imagined memory was mere smoke in the air she could just wave away. "The time I actually remember was because I got lost at an event and thought I'd locked myself in a room full of strangers. I just remember freezing up and panicking. But that happened years ago so I thought it was all past."
She was honestly floored by his kindness. She'd assured herself that he would be understanding, but she hadn't thought he'd offer to continue to stick by her in Herbology. "Thank you. For being there. It's enough--at least it'll be enough--just knowing you're there." She mirrored his smile, immediately knowing next week would be easier. "I'm sure it'll be better next time. And who knows, maybe this is all just part of learning to get over it."

Jonah was stunned by Sonora’s explanation… Just, wow. He couldn’t imagine how traumatic both of those events must have been, and suddenly the situation in herbology made perfect sense. “That had to be scary...” he frowned, but relaxed again when she smiled at him. He didn’t know what it was, but there was something about Sona’s presence he found incredibly comforting. The blonde hoped he would be able to give off that same effect when it came to classes from now on. “It will definitely be better next time,” He nodded in agreement, “Maybe once you get to know more of the other first years it will get easier, too. You know, having the security that you know everyone in the room and have friends around and all that.”
Out of the corner of his eye Jonah spotted the quidditch game starting. He sat down his cup on the floorboard of the empty bleacher seat behind him as he scrambled for his camera, quick to snap a photo of Maisie winning the quaffle toss against the Hufflepuff chaser. “Yes!” He pumped his fist in victory, both excited Ravenclaw had gotten to the quaffle first, and that he had just gotten a decent shot of it. He gave a nervous laugh as he rubbed the back of his neck with his hand, smiling at Sona apologetically. “Sorry, I just get a little excited…” He pulled the photograph from his camera’s slot, shaking it out to help it develop more quickly and took a look at it. Yes, this would do quite nicely.

“Oh, well, sort of…” Jonah responded sheepishly at the mention of the portfolio, grabbing his bag from beside his feet to dig through it. “Eh?” He made a sound of confusion, raising his eyebrows in surprise. He had his Charms textbook, his completely worn out copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, notebooks, pencil case, a comic book… But no portfolio. Weird. “Huh, I guess I must have left it on my bed this morning… I can show it to you later, if you want… Oh! I almost forgot.”
He opted to store his latest photograph in his notepad for now for safe keeping until he could put it back it its proper place and began to open up the front pocket of his backpack, only pausing when Sonora brought up the snitch. He snapped his head up and brought his fingers to his lips, whistling loudly at the players and giving a cheer of “Get it, Eddie!” before turning his attention to the bag and pulling out a small, Batman bento box. “Sooo I know this is a lot of pumpkin for one day, but would you like some pumpkin pasties? My mum sent them with Circe this morning.” He opened the box of delicious pastries and offered it to Sona.

“Sort of,” Jonah shrugged, “She usually bakes when she’s in a really good mood. And when she’s in a really good mood, she craves an ungodly amount of pumpkin pasties… They’re her favorite. I’d wager our kitchen at home is probably full of them right now.” He grabbed his cup of juice from behind him and took a sip of the pumpkiny goodness, wincing when the snitch dodged Eddie and made its escape from the two seekers. “Oooh, so close. I really thought he was going to get it, too.”
Jonah barely registered Sonora’s comment, a smile tugging at his lips as he pulled a pastie from the box and took a bite out of the corner. “Mm, Alfred is pretty great. I’d have to say Robin is my favorite though. d**k Grayson’s Robin, especially. It’d be fun to go as him for Halloween one year.”
