spaceEcho sighed as he climbed into the stands, still not really sure why he was bothering to come see the game. Honestly, there was no point to it. He found himself thinking he'd much rather be playing than just watching, and then had to shake his head because hey, since when did he actually enjoy playing? But, Tanya was playing this game, and he did want to try and be supportive... he was pretty sure she went to all the Ravenclaw games to cheer for him, after all, so it was only fair. He could be a good friend, too, after all! Trouble was, he didn't really have anyone to sit with. He didn't know what Kas' opinion on the sport was, but he wasn't going to drag his boyfriend up here and make him watch the game. Besides, he doubted he'd pay much attention to the game at all if Kas had come. The other boy did tend to distract him rather well... he fought the light flush that was attempting to fill his cheeks at that thought, but didn't bother to hide the smile. With a sigh, he noticed his sister's bright green hair and figured there would be worse things to do than sit with her. As he approached, he realized Jess was with her, too, and considered bailing for a second before telling himself how silly that was. He joined the pair, sitting on his sister's other side with a small wave. "Erm, hey, Gypsy. Jess," he murmured awkardly, and then he was watching the initial toss-up. He couldn't help but smirk as he watched Gypsy's boyfriend go up against Tanya for the ball, and lose to the tiny Gryffindor girl. "Sheesh, Gypsy, how long has Daniel been playing this game? He's about as good as you are," the third year said with a snicker. The look on her face was priceless, although he could've done without the punch to the shoulder. Whatever. Totally worth it.

spaceGypsy smiled when Jess sat down with her and smiled widely, eyes flashing. "Well I'm certainly not cheering for that dork you call a brother," she told the Hufflepuff with a grin, poking the girl lightly in the ribs. When Jess teased about Toby managing to take Daniel out, she rolled her eyes, opting to do it as over-dramatically as possible. "Oh, please. Like he could take Daniel out. And yeah, the Slytherin beaters are brutal. But I'm sure Toby'll be fine... he's tougher than he looks," she said with a light smirk. Honestly, getting hit with Bludgers sucked, but there were worse things that could happen to you. Getting hit three times did sound rather suckish, though.
spaceThe fourth year didn't quite manage to contain her shock at the sight of her younger brother, and actually blinked a moment when he sat next to her as if to ensure that yes, in fact, he did just join the pair of them, she was not, in fact, hallucinating. After verifying that she wasn't insane, she threw an arm around the kid's shoulder. "Aw, look who's shaping up to be a team player! You ditched your muchkin to come watch a game! Fancy that!" she declared with gusto, delighting just a little too much in the annoyed look on his face. He got her back a moment later, though, when Tanya managed to beat Daniel in the toss-up. She glared and punched him in the shoulder. "Can it, ya twit. Like she'll have the ball long," Gypsy replied, obviously annoyed to no end. She heard her brother mumble something about a jinx and punched him again. "Oh, you just wait. Next practice, I'm going to borrow one of the beater bats and use it to beat your head in!" she said, eyes flashing. Ironically, she was more annoyed that Echo had compared Daniel's failure to get the Quaffle with her own lackluster ability than she was at the fact that he was insulting her boyfriend. Like she needed the reminder that she sucked. She was going to kill the brat if he kept it up.

Cathy or Cate
Cathaline Acacia League
❤ Hufflepuff ❤
❤I am a first year.
❤My wand is... 8 ½ inches, acacia wood, with fairy hair core, springy, and spiraled.
❤My directions say I am... {Quidditch Stands A and Feeling Lost in the Crowd}
❤My time on the clock is at the first Quidditch game of the year
❤ You want to know more about me? ❤ Wearing: Casual Clothes-showing no aligance to either team ❤ (Oh and my big brother? He's a 3rd year Ravenclaw.) ❤
❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
Cathy hurried up the stands, feeling so tiny among the energetic crowd-pretty much decked out in red and gold of Gryffindor or the green and silver of Slytherin. She really didn't know what team to root for so she had decided to dress in neutrals, which in the end just made her stand out-or would more if the crowd wasn't so big full of so many upperclassmen. Her brown eyes scanned the crowd as she hoped to spot someone she knew. She was sure her brother wasn't going to be here as he had state specifically over the summer that flying was stupid and the class was a useless requirement unless you planned to do quidditch-which was an idiotic sport where you purposely put yourself in harms way.
She actually had found flying sort of exciting and was intrigued by the wizarding sport which her brother seemed to loathe. Of course there was a lot of things he didn't express particular interest in unless he saw some obvious logical practicality in it. It seemed sort of a boring way to live, but then again that was just his personality, their Dad was sort of the same way. Cathy had decided to show up to the first game just to see what the sport was all about, but not wanting to be bias decided to root both teams on, even if she supposed she had technically more reason to root on Slytherin as her family had been all Slytherins.
Before she could find anyone she heard a whistle and turned quickly, and slid into a seat between the divide of Slytherin and Gryffindor fans, though she supposed she had end up a bit more on the Gryffindor side of the divide. She leaned forward and watched curiously as the younger Gryffindor girl managed to grab the red ball at the whistle. It was called a quaffle she was pretty sure. She frowned a bit as she watched trying to see what was so dangerous about the sport so far. Was there really a reason to hate a sport so much? And all these words-like quaffle-made her feel like she was working on learning a new language, except she was placed in the country before having time to prepare with anything beyond the most basic of knowledge. Either way, she assumed quidditch couldn't be that hard of a sport to figure out in the end. Hell, David hated the sport and knew the rules and he had apparently avoided any opportunity to watch a game ever as far as she knew.

"Blimey! That isn't-! It is!" Utterly shocked, his jaw dropped. He jumped to his feet at the start of the game, Gryffindor had initially snatched the quaffle, at least, until it was stolen by his sister! "By Merlin's white beard, I can't believe she even tried out." He laughed and plopped back down on the wooden stands. Soon, Gryffindor stole possession of the ball and he was tangled in his emotions. But, above all, that little green monster called jealousy was eating away at him. Quidditch as his sport! Not hers! He should have tried out! He just.... Didn't ever think a first year would make it. He hummed thoughtfully and glanced around the crowd. Several stands below, he recognized the blonde first year and jumped down the seats to sit beside her. "Hey, Cathy right? Or was it Cate? ....Katie?" He shrugged; names were usually an easy thing to remember for him. "That's right," he nodded as if realization hit him. "Every mate calls you suttin' different, or at least it seems that way...
"I'm Axe, by the way, but after all the introductions in class, you probably already know that, huh?" He chuckled. Inquisitively, he searched deep into depths of her eyes curious as to what he might find.

Cathy glanced up when she heard a stream of names, or derivatives of her full name, addressed towards her. It was one of the Gryffindor boys in her class, Axel who she didn't ever remember him actually giving his last name in any of the classes, not that she supposed it mattered, like he said she was called a variety of names herself so it wasn't like she should find anything with names that odd.
She nodded with a smile when Axel joined her and she said, "Axe, huh? You usually use Axel when introducing yourself in class. And, I'm good with names so it's pretty easy to remember," Cathy said her smile brightening and she let out a bit of a laugh, "And, yeah, Cathy is the most common name. I've also got 'Line and Linnie... so I've heard a variety. It's actually Cathaline but I've never really used my full name. Anyways, a name is a name, right? I'm not very particular about whatever my name is shortened to."
She glanced back at the quidditch field noting all the action occurring and realizing that the players with the bats were hitting what looked like iron balls at various players. Okay, that would explain the danger aspect, she supposed. Watching the game a bit wide eyed she glanced back at Axel and said quickly, "I've only heard mention of quidditch and that was after I got my letter. Apparently, my brother hates the game and everything about it. Something that he says is just an 'idiotic way to seek out injury' or things like that. I thought I should check it out. I mean, flying is fun and he hates that so I think he just hates anything that isn't what he deems as useful."
Smiling at Axel she tilted her head and said brightly and hopefully, "Maybe you could explain the game... I haven't gotten that far in reading up about the sport..."

She sees them walking in a straight line, that's not really her style.
And they all got the same heartbeat, but hers is falling behind.
Nothing in this world could ever bring them down.
Yeah, they're invincible, and she's just in the background. And she says, "I wish that I could be like the cool kids.
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids."
She sees them talking with a big smile, but they haven't got a clue
Jessamine Cathlin Walsh ~ Halfblood Hufflepuff ~ Fourth Year ~ Twin ~ {feeling: exuberant} {thinking: ...} {with: Gypsy} {at: Stands}
Jess poked Gypsy back, bumping shoulders with her. "A dork with a mean bludger-hitting arm." she retorted with a snicker, and then glanced ruefully out at the pitch. "I hope he doesn't end up in the Hospital Wing, though. Then I'll have to bring him his homework. Ew." Then she was distracted by spotting Echo, Gypsy's younger brother.
"Awwwwww, little Lord Echo has come to join us peasants," she mocked playfully, leaning around Gypsy to smirk at him. "Word in the corridors is you've got yourself a booooooyyyyyyfrriiiiiieeeennnnnnddddd," she sang. "That redheaded Ravenclaw, right, right?" She wiped the smirk off her face and adopted a look of appropriate outrage when he antagonized Gypsy, though her eyes kept on glinting with amusement.
Friendship is my weapon of choice.
Yeah, they're living the good life, can't see what she is going through.
They're driving fast cars, but they don't know where they're going.
In the fast lane, living life without knowing.
And she says, "I wish that I could be like the cool kids, 'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids.
I wish that I could be like the cool kids,
'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to get it."

  Took your advice and did the opposite
Just being young and stupid
I haven't been all that you could've hoped for
But if you'd held on a little longer
You'd have had more reasons to be proud...

Hmm... guess she doesn't have Alex's habits about punctuality.
"Some people aren't punctual by nature," Veronica said with a shrug. "You also might regret having a nickname, some people outgrow their's. If you pay attention you'll notice that I get called 'Ronna' by most of your upperclassmen. Anyways, I'm not criticizing your punctuality, I grew up with that sort of thing stressed as important. Actually, I was kind of used to the whole arrive early and stay late mentality."
She smiled leaning forward watching the game, "I actually didn't play any formal sports in grade school beyond the arranged games in recess class. It was a small town I lived in... not a lot to chose from. I suppose, one of my Dad's coworkers did teach me some basic boxing and a few self defense techniques when I was younger. I did take up boxing formally this summer when I moved to London-more options of things to do in London than Hawkinge."
"Seriously? Slytherin has the quaffle, now," She sighed before asking bluntly, "So, let me guess, muggle-born? I used to think that that good skills in muggle sports would translate easily to quidditch, but that isn't really the case. I have a friend who apparently is really good at football, but hadn't had the best luck with quidditch. Then again, I've always practiced in batting cages usually over the summer for quidditch try-outs, and that works pretty good for me as a beater."
So many questions
But I'm talking to myself
I know that you can't hear me any more
Not anymore
So much to tell you
And most of all goodbye
But I know that you can't hear me any more...

He gave an impish sort of smile and gave a subtle shake of his shoulders; his eyes always darted every once in a while back to the game (just in case) but for the most part singled out her voice amongst the crowd. His chuckle was genuine, this Hufflepuff girl had to be the complete opposite of his step-sister. It was hard for him to be cynical, at one point, he tried actually scrunched up his nose trying to decide if she was just teasing him—or setting him up to be—but realized it all had to be genuine. The smile on her face had to be proof enough of that, right? ”Well, Axe isn't what I'd want to tell the professor's, right? I expect they'd want to be all 'proper',” he waved his hand in exaggeration. ”But, don't you think so many different names would get confusing?” He shrugged. ”I'll just call you Cathy, but one of these days I might call you Cat. I've always wanted a friend named Cat. ” his nod was matter-of-fact.
He'd caught her pause on the quidditch field and followed her vision across the field. The Gryffindor beater had his bludger deflected, and the Slytherin's caught the quaffle and proceeded down the field. He sighed. If he'd known that his step-sister had tried out, he would've brought something green. Now all he has is his ruby lion flag and not a single person that he actually knew on his house team. ”Oh, it's a bloody wicked sport—but it's a lot more fun to watch for some people—apparently not my step-sister, she's that tiny green dot over there.” With squinted eyes, he leaned in close to Cathy (it was just easier to get the vantage point, in his opinion) and pointed to the first year chaser in green. ”I...kind'a know what you mean, my da's a muggle and my mum never liked to talk about her bein' a witch, I didn't really know anything about magic, but then he married Cami's mom, and it didn't take me long to learn... Your brother must be one of them quiet types, huh? I have one of those too, he goes to Durmstrang though.
“See, those evil little buggers you're talking about are bludgers, it's the beaters jobs to defend their teammates from 'em and try and knock the other opponents off their broom. That red ball that everyone is trying to steal is the quaffle, that's like a football, and the chasers want possession of it so they can make it to the hoops and score. Weird thing is, every score is ten points, but that golden little snitch you might've seen at the start of the game, is worth one hundred and fifty—it's hella' hard to catch, and the seekers have to look all around the field to find it. It's near impossible for a team to win without that snitch, but it happens a lot in international tournaments, games can even last ages if the seekers don't catch the snitch.” Axel always had a certain flair for dramatization and theatrics. "I heard advanced flying supposed to teach you how to play if you're interested."

Dani shrugged, and replied, "I don't mind. The only people who use my full first name are my Aunt Arabella, and my parents, and with them it's only when I'm in trouble. Yeah, I'm fully Muggle-born; the only witch I know of in the family is my aunt, and I live with her now."
She'll add, when Veronica mentions sports, "I think they do translate okay. Maybe not some of the skills, but the important stuff does. We're a team, we win or lose on how well we work together. No matter, what we depend on each other. Kinda like what the Head of House told us before the Sorting: your team is like your family."
"You said the Upperclassmen call you 'Ronna', is that what you want to be called?"

❤My directions say I am... {Quidditch Stands A and Axel Roach}
❤My time on the clock is at the first Quidditch game of the year

"I'm fairly good at Latin, French, and I practice Mandarin all the time when I'm back home in London," She said with a smile, "I'm good with languages and words and such, I figure keeping track of all those different names isn't all that hard, considering. And I like 'Cat'. I'm a cat person, I actually got a pet cat I call Meimei who I came to school with. She's cute. Get's along great with my Dad's cats back home, too, unlike my brother's owl who Tara and Tristan hate with an obvious passion. Dad says Tara and Tristan are my brother and my older siblings and that one of the big influencing reasons he married Mum was because they got attached to her."
She smiled and said "As for my human brother, I think 'over-analytical' or 'logical' and 'anti-social by nature' better describes my brother. He's not particularly quiet, though he generally prefers books to people, and compared to me he's quiet." She frowned and said waving her hands almost as if she was embarrassed by her own words, "Oh my God, that sounds so mean. No, I mean my brother is great, he just has his quirks like anyone else. He actually was the one who helped prepare me to get ready for Hogwarts-though Mum or I guess even Dad to some degree could. Dad's family is all magical and Mum is a witch so they both could have done the same. My brother volunteered to be the one to take me to Diagon Alley and explain anything to me. Like I said, my brother is pretty great in his own way." She nodded, seeming a bit relieved after clarifying her previous statement.
Smiling, she listened to Axel's description of the sport. It was surprisingly clear and concise explanation. And, his step-sister was even playing, which was pretty awesome. Focusing on the dot she recognized the girl-Cami, he had called her-as one of the girls from their year. Smiling she said, "Maybe I'll try out next year. My brother would go ballistic if he found out, but he never goes to any of the games, and it isn't like we're in the same house, so what are the odds of him finding out, anyways? It looks like a lot of fun... I mean those bludgers look kind of scary, but I mean if they couldn't fix you up right after from a game, I wouldn't think they'd let us play the sport, right?"
"And I can root on your step-sister," She added with a smile. "I didn't know what team to root for, but my Mum was a Slytherin and it was mentioned that everyone in both of our direct lines, except my Dad's mum and him and I guess me, too, who went to Hogwarts was a Slytherin." She glanced down at her twill skirt and blazer she wore and added with a chuckle, "Besides, now that I look at the gray in this it does have the slightest hint of green... I guess I sort of am wearing Slytherin colors even."
