spectator fall 2025 racing Heated Onlookers

Though Aly cheered loudly and plentifully for her two best mates on the Ravenclaw team, as the race drew to a close it became more and more obvious that the eagles were not taking this race for the second year in a row. At least we kicked their arse in Quidditch, she couldn't help but think with a soft smile to herself; it proved that the snakes weren't totally infallible in every sport, despite what some might have said. When her Knockturn Alley buddy Wyatt was the first to cross the finish line, Aly let out a tumultuous groan, smoothing her palms against the fabric of her trousers. To no one in particular, she joked, "At least Starkey's off to graduation at the end of this year!" - totally and purposely ignoring the fact that her two closest friends, Dee and Peri, who had just been trounced by the snake for the second year in a row, would also be leaving Hogwarts in June. As would Aly herself. Ah, well - 'twas not the thing to think about at the moment.

Aly stood with a sigh, kicking the heel of one shoe lightly against the wooden boards of the bleachers to adjust the feel of pinchy heels against her toes. "Is what it is. Maybe Hufflepuff will be able to take them down again when next they race." The Ravenclaw Quidditch captain leaned slightly over the railing and yelled in the vague direction of the racing track, "It's all right, eagles! You'll get 'em next time!"

Then she turned away from the racetrack back towards the bleachers, a stray breeze picking up a single lock of her curly hair and playing with it right into her eyes; Aly brushed it out of the way with one hand and looked back down at her new friend, who had not yet risen from his seat. She gave him a smile and offered her hand once more, this time accurately for another shake. "Well, I suppose that's all to do here," she said with a shrug of her shoulders. "It was proper nice to meet you, Cade! Maybe I'll see you around the common room, or we'll meet again at the winter race." After making her goodbyes, she picked her way past him and only allowed one slight wave over her shoulder, a waggle of her fingers that was both sweet and also a bit silly. "See you around..."
