After all of those trials and errors, the spell worked wonders in the perfect time. He looked like a clown without makeup. Her view towards the boy changed as easily as flipping one’s hand. The once cute guy was seen in utter hate and disgust. She was drowned in her rage, only because he made a comment on her red hair that was intended to cheer for Alan, and white haired boy had the audacity to say it needed more refinement. Without her knowing, his remarks made her supposed to be a friend, defended him and cast a knockback jinx at Aurora. She fell to the ground, face planted on one of the benches, but it did not stop her from screaming. “WHY DID YOU-” It seemed like the Ravenclaw had a high stamina for being able to keep that volume for quite a long period of time. The tense and awkward moment in the pitch immediately began to warm once Lucifur, the cutest furball ever existed ran towards his owner and let out a meow as if he was checking if Aurora was okay or not.

The heartwarming moment did not last long as Santario officially gave both the troublemakers, the lifelong enemy their first ever detention and DID SHE JUST REVERSE MY MASTERPIECE? “WHY DID Y-“ Her brown eyes glued to the sapphire eyes of the prefect. If a look could kill, she would have been dead by now. Of course, she did not want to cut short her life span, so she quickly shifted her focus back to the despicable person named Felicia or something forgettable. Aurora walked backwards, making sure the guy could hear every single word clearly, until her threat tattooed on his brain. “SWEAR JAR YOU OLD MAN! WHATEVER YOU SAID! I AM SURE THOSE ARE INAPPROPRIATE! YOU ARE LUCKY YOU ARE NOT BALD! NEXT TIME I WILL SNATCH THAT UGLY HAIR OF YOURS WITH MY BARE HANDS! YES! MY BARE HANDS! WHO NEEDS WAND WHEN I HAVE MY FIST! ONE PUNCH AND YOU WILL SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR DEAREST HAIR! SEE YOU NEVER CRUSTY DUSTY HAIR! DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT I WILL DO? I WILL USE YOUR HAIR AS A MOP! I WILL DUMP YOUR HEAD INSIDE A BUCKET FILLED WITH SOAP AND MOP THE MOST DISGUSTING FLOOR WITH YOUR HAIR! MARK MY WO-“ She will go on and on and on and on, until she is nowhere to be seen, being escorted by the Slytherin prefect. Next time the Sweddish boy goes to Hogwarts, he needs to get a restraining order.

Mentioning: @Haley Rose Santario, and Aurora

Now Cosmo had come expecting some shouting, she even considered that people might be so enthusiastic that their voices went horse, after all Haley had come back from many games with a scratchy throat. Nothing, absolutely nothing could have prepared her for the chaos that was the quidditch stands today. Two girls were absolutely enraged over... something that Cosmo could not quite make sense of. It definitely involved clothes, and hair maybe? This was the first ever Quidditch match that Cosmo had ever watched and she was trying desperately to keep her attention focused on the players, but everyone was flying so quickly that it would be have been hard enough to follow without the commotion behind her.

Finally giving in, the small gryffindor turned in her seat just in time to catch the second half of chaos. This was not the first time Cosmo had seen Santario step in and bring order, the last time had been just days before at truth or dare, and she was beginning to realise that the life of a prefect was never easy. Her respect for the older Slytherin student raised, and although she hated to think negatively of anyone, Cosmo felt that Aurora had handled herself particularly poorly, which was a shame; the ravenclaws big personality had appealed to Cosmo.

It seemed that everything would finally settle down though, and she turned back to watch the game. Not that it was any less dramatic than the resent fiasco, mind. People were falling off their brooms, being hit by bludgers or even other players, and throughout it all Cosmo had her eyes on Haley. The only reason Cosmo had come to spectate was her best friend, not that she wasn't having a good time but a requirement of enjoying a sport is generally some level of understanding.

The kiss that Haley blew her direction had made Cosmo smile big and bright, but now that faded as she realised how anxious the other girl was. Even from this distance her leg shaking was obvious, and Cosmo might have thought it was because of the game, but Haley kept glancing back and their eyes would meet for a second, before she looked away. Eventually she managed to focus herself, but the strange behaviour worried Cosmo, who decided to keep a closer eye on Haley from now on.

Drew may have chosen to be a broom racer, but he still liked Quidditch a lot. He walked onto the Quidditch Pitch right as the game seemed to start. Phew! He wasn't late. Well, he was a little late. But he wasn't too late. He spied some of his friends- Charles, Cassie, Scarlett, Greg, Akari. Seeing all of them made him smile. He hoped that they all did well.

The first round, everything happened so fast. Drew's eyes tried to follow all of the balls, but what really caught his eye was Scarlett. Falling from her broom. "Scarlett!" he blurted, as she hurtled down towards the Earth. She was caught, however, and Drew let out a sigh of relief. They seemed to separate, but not before Charles tried to knock them both off. Drew furrowed his brow. Why did he do that? Either way, Charles had to take a lap for his foul. Cassie did a wickedly cool Bludger hit.

Scarlett was knocked off her broom again! But she was caught, by the exact same person. Neither of them, from this distance, looked very happy about it, but Drew was sure it was statistical, of course. Unless it was girl drama. Now that he thought about it, it was probably girl drama.

Greg and Akari both weren't doing much, Akari because she was benched and Greg... well, Drew didn't quite know why. Greg was just not doing much.

"KEEP YOUR HEADS UP!" He shouted to his friends, thrusting a thumbs-up into the air if any of them looked his way. "C'MON Y'ALL!!! YOU CAN DO THIS!"

@Serena Towers as Arjan Oberoi, @Griseldis Edelhardt

Opeila was not a big fan of Quidditch. Never had been. It was dangerous, there were scary balls made of freaking metal flying through the air with the sole purpose to kill throw the players of their brooms. When Opeila had signed up for her house team, it was more because of the lack of alternatives than the sport that was offered. She was exactly where she belonged in duelling. That was her area.

But since Gris had told her about her Quidditch game so excitedly in the train back home, Opeila simply had to watch and cheer on her friend. Even if she did not enjoy it as much as Gris did, if Gris was happy with it, Opeila would be happy for her, without question.
Well... the Slytherin was ashamed to admit she was torn when she sat up in the stands watching the game begin. She had spotted someone. A certain so good-looking Durmstrang boy ohmagawd who she had recently acted like an idiot around.

Yes, maybe, just maybe the young Slytherin had spent more time watching the boy's back than the actual game- What, she did say that Quidditch was not her thing, right?- so she only realized that something must have happened when the cheering of the crowd stopped. What? What had happened? Opeila looked up, searched the sky for her friend. Where... Where was Gris? Oh no.

The second year got up from her bench to be able to see the ground. There she was. Opeila could see a brown haired girl on the ground, the two buns not leaving a doubt who that was. Oh no... A few house elves got her off the pitch. Hopefully she was alive... no one had died in a Hogwarts Quidditch match so far, right?

More than one player got off the bench and joined the game when Opeila sat back down. Ohhh, the Durmstrang boy Arjan had joined too. She did feel terrible for being relieved that she could now quietly fangirl for the good looking upperclassman without having to feel bad for Gris. Of course she would have preferred if Gris was still playing.

Watching Arjan resulted in not missing how he smashed a bludger right into Scarlett, who she did not call a friend quite yet but whom Opeila definitely liked. Wincing she watched her classmate fall, but other than Gris she was caught by another player. Thank god. Alright, so she could watch Arjan again without feeling terrible.

And then she suddenly met his look in the air and he... wait what? He... blew her a kiss. Opeila froze on the bench, her eyes widened, her cheeks burning red and her stomach feeling as if someone released a swarm of bugs inside it (ew)... (But also not ew). Had this really been to her? Did he recognize her? Did he feel what she felt? What did she feel even? She didn't even know this guy after all.

Obviously after this the game did no longer matter to the young girl...

Permission to godmod Arjan given.

Interacting with Felix Kolbeck (@Winnie Harper) And @Santario Martin

Serena quirked an eyebrow as she heard the voice of another person. Following the girl's pointed hand, she noticed it was aimed at Desmond. Ha. She grinned, glad that the girl was not a big fan of him either. "Ha! Let's be fair! A peacock would be a compliment though. They are usually associated with compassion or just seen as friendly, I thought?" She responded. Peacocks were actually one of her favourite non-magical creatures - and she would adamantly argue that they were nothing like Des, though she figured that the girl was saying it as though it was a bad thing. She had not heard it used in that way before but from the tone and context, she was guessing 'showoffy' which definitely worked for her brother, sadly.

"Flying haircut, heh," She could not help but giggle a little at the nickname as she muttered the repetition under her breathe. She liked it. It suited him, "Yeah... I think he's just a tad bit mad about the tournament last year. Needs to prove he's better or something," She replied, recalling the Durmstrang vs. Hogwarts game last year and how riled up he was when they got back home, hating on the fact that she had caught the snitch and was far better than he had ever expected her to be. In a way, she almost wished she was up there right now playing against him. She would have loved to beat him and wipe that irritating smugness off his face.

Receiving a bludger from him, however, would definitely not be fun - and he would definitely make every effort to aim it at her. Distracted by the game and the intensity of it, she watched as Arjan attempted to knock people off left, right and centre. She watched as one of the Hogwarts team managed to knock him off the broom. Serena leaned forward, intensely watching the game. He got caught. But did he...?

She blinked, looking towards her side... Felix. Wait, what was up with his hair? More importantly... why was her brother winking at him? She thought Felix just said he couldn't stand him! But more than that, WHY WAS HER BROTHER WINKING AT HIM? Also, seriously, what was up with his hair? It literally had not been like that seconds earlier. It was fixed before she could react, still confused why her brother was winking at the random boy she had just met who seemed kind of cool. What was going on?

Felix seemed angry. Looking behind her, she saw the prefect that had just been near her escorting some girls away - one of whom was screaming... way too much. Looking back at Felix, she just blinked. "Uh. Did I miss something? Are you uh..." What did she even want to ask? "Do you two know each other?" Serena asked as she pointed towards Arjan, who seemed to be sharing a broom with someone else by now.

Milo turned to throw a bludger at him - well... dang. It seemed like two of the seekers were onto something - they both seemed to be going in the same direction, after all. So much stuff was happening but her entire mind was just... broken by the fact that her brother had just winked at... no, no, there must have been someone else, right? He must have been winking at that prefect or one of the other girls. Right? Serena had never seen him flirting with a guy, for starters, and Felix seemed to rather dislike Des so... none of it was adding up.

"Didn't it just look like he winked at you?" She asked, still looking at the skies and watching the game again. Serena needed to know. If they were friends, she probably should not badmouth Des to him again... Mentally, she scolded herself for instantly trusting the random people. She needed to be careful. If they were friends, Des would end up hearing about it and be furious. Even though all of it was true, she just really did not want to deal with him. It was easier to avoid him than to have to deal with his nonsense. There was still a few weeks left of camp, after all.

The game seemed to progress far quicker than she expected. A frown crossed her face as she watched her brother fall from the broom again. She did not get along with him but that was different from actively wanting him to get hurt. Having fallen from a broom herself plenty of times, she knew how painful it could be. Perhaps she should visit him in the hospital wing afterwards...

Turning to Felix, she waited for a response. Admittedly, her mind was more interested in figuring out what was going on between those two than the game now.

MENTIONING: @Aurora Ranvier @Santario Martin

INTERACTIONS: @Serena Towers & Arjan @Henry Knight as Charles

Felix had no idea what was wrong with the students at Hogwarts, most of it's students seemed to carry anger issues like they were badges of honour. He was simply left staring at the screeching banshee of a girl as she was dragged away by Santario. She was sprouting some nonsense about him being an old man in the midst of what could only be called a temper tantrum. He couldn't really make out most of it, but her screaming would likely haunt the Swede's nightmares regardless. He really hoped their paths would not cross again. The girl was like the human embodiment of a train wreck and he had to peel his eyes away from her and refocus on the game.

That was when it happened, something FAR WORSE than having his hair jinxed and ruined by the cherry headed banshee. Arjan, the flying haircut himself, had spotted him while soaring through the air on his shared broomstick. The Swede would freeze in place when their eyes locked onto each other. Oh shit. No, no, no. This was not good. Had he seen his hair? DAMMIT! He had already been made a fool of by the older boy during their game of Truth or Dare, and now he had seen him like this. No, it just wouldn't do. No one was allowed to see Felix Kolbeck flustered and looking like a dork-- Wait a minute...

... Had he just... Winked at him?

Ice blue eyes widened upon realization, and an angry blush crept up his cheeks, darkening the pale boy's features completely. His initial reaction was to break eye contact and whip around to face the other direction. Fortunately San had already taken the other two girls off the stands so they likely had not witnessed it, but the one with the rat on her shoulders, Serena, she had and to say he was horrified would be a gross understatement. Hopefully she would just let it go and not mention anything.

Had fate ever been that kind to Felix? No, no it had not.

"NO! It's... IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!" The Durmstrang student started, still flustered as he desperately tried to explain. Shit, no! This would not do! Now the cool rat girl had seen him flushed too. How dare Arjan be the cause of it. He would pay. Felix wasn't sure how or when-- but it would happen. "Unfortunately I DO know him; he's... He's just an ASSHOLE who is trying to ruin my life!" He growled, reaching a hand up to brush through his hair to ensure it had gone back to normal. Yes, it was all about him. Clearly Arjan existed just to make his life miserable.

His gaze when back to the game, half ready to glare at Arjan should they make eye contact again, but that was when he saw Charles Alluring, and to his absolute horror, the other boy would blow him a kiss. This time he was ready to react and would flip the Quidditch player the bird. "UGH! That guy is an asshole too. Unfortunately they both go to my school." He complained to the likely confused Serena. "I don't really want to talk about it, they're ruining my mood. Just ignore them, they're only doing this because of the damn kis-- Holy shit!" He cut off his explanation as he watched Arjan tumble towards the earth. Had Charles just... Let his team mate fall? He knew that he also wasn't a fan of his but damn.

Interacting with Felix Kolbeck (@Winnie Harper)

The Hufflepuff blinked as she stared at this boy who was starting to react very... emotionally. He was loud, red and uh angry? Or uh flustered? Or into this? She had no idea. Feelings were confusing. It was apparently not what it looked like. Which would have comforted her but she had no idea what it looked like - she was mostly just very confused and trying to figure out exactly what it looked like, because she had no idea.

"I mean... it looked like he... winked at you despite the fact that he almost fell from his broom..." She responded, trying to reason out what was going on aloud. Desmond chose to wink at him over trying to stay in the game, which seemed like quite a big deal for someone that she knew to be rather competitive.

Tilting her head, she gently looked Pizza Rat into her palms and stroked his back softly, "What did he do to you?" She asked, wondering how he was trying to ruin her life. She was pretty sure she could say the same! Was this boy and her in the same position? It would be kind of nice to have someone to talk to about it all, she figured but she was also not sure if she could trust him yet. He definitely could be blushing because he did not know how to handle his feelings...

Looking at the other guy that Felix mentioned, she paused for a moment. She was not sure she knew him, though she might have seen him around a bit. He was in Durmstrang too, from the looks of it. Felix also went there, apparently.

Serena gasped softly as she watched her brother fall again - this time... not getting caught. Her eyes moved around the skies. Milo? Did Milo do that? Oh gosh. Was... her friend going to become her brother's enemy? She had no idea how Desmond would take this but she knew he was competitive enough to hate losing. And Milo was kind of cute. She really did not want the boy's face to end up broken because of her brother.

"Oh sh- Wait- did you just say kiss? There was a kiss? Who kissed?" Serena looked at Felix, tearing her eyes away from the game. Did Felix still a girl from Desmond? Wait, that didn't make any sense. Why would Des wink at- DID DES LIKE FELIX? WAIT, DID THEY KISS? WAIT, THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. How did the third guy come into this? DID DES KISS THE THIRD GUY WHOSE NAME SHE DID NOT KNOW?

Serena was very confused by the whole thing but she had questions. Questions that needed answers, "Wait - are you two dating?" Was her brother gay? Or more specifically, he would most likely be bisexual. Was there anyone her brother was NOT hitting on?!?!

MENTIONING: Arjan @Henry Knight as Charles

INTERACTIONS: @Serena Towers

Felix had been hoping his explanation of 'it's not what it looks like' would be enough to satisfy Serena's questions, but it would seem he was not that lucky. Of course the girl hit him with more questions, he had basically claimed to hate Arjan moments before and now he stood in front of her with a red face. To be fair, he wasn't having the best day and the change of his physical appearance -- against his will -- had left him a little shaken. It just so happened that Arjan was there to see that horrific moment and now the Swede couldn't help but imagine the older boy making... Ugh, some sort of snide remark the next time they met. Perhaps even worse than that, he might just keep winking at him or trying to piss him off every time they crossed paths.

"Well... He doesn't exactly have his priorities sorted out!" Felix sputtered, as if that were an excuse or an answer as to why he had done it. Bloody hell, he had to calm down. He took in a breath and raise his hand through his hair once more. It was a nervous habit of his, and perhaps the reason his hair always looked disheveled. "He did it to piss me off."

His eye would twitch at the Hufflepuff's next comment. "I-... I don't want to talk about it!" Dammit, if he was flustered before, when Serena asked if the two of them dating... Felix's facial features twisted into one of pure horror, and his face had turned crimson once more. "What? HELL NO! I'm straight!" He was, right? Well, as far as he knew. He didn't really find anyone romantically appealing. Ret was cool, he liked seeing her smile... Wait, now was not the time to daydream about it. "Even if I were gay, he's the last man I'd... Oh Merlin, look... I'll tell you, just... Ugh."

His hand slid down to massage his temples. He was starting to get a tension headache. Luckily it also offered him an opportunity to shield his face from sight. "... It was prank." He started off by saying. He couldn't believe he was telling her this, but the other option was letting her think that the two were... Shudder. "It was Truth or dare, and I was hanging out with this one guy, Howard White?" He would pose the name as a question to see if the girl knew who he was talking about. "Anyways, he seemed pretty cool and we were messing with Arjan because... I mean, the guy is intolerable. Not to mention the girls he was flirting-- that's not the point. The kiss was something to throw him off his game, you know? ... He was not thrown off. He... Did it back." Was he leaving out the four rating the guy gave him? Yes, yes he was. He wasn't about to go advertising that to girls. "And to make matters worse, instead of letting me get my revenge I have to deal with this shit!" He gestured towards the field even though the boy was likely on the ground and being taken to the hospital wing.

Interacting with Felix Kolbeck (@Winnie Harper) - Mentions: @Howard White

The quidditch lover had completely forgotten about the quidditch match that was going on - or was it over by now? She had no idea, she was too busy staring at Felix, wondering what was going on between him and her brother. Felix kept claiming he did not want to talk about it but then proceeded to talk about it. Of course, it did not help that Serena was asking questions but damn it, she needed answers!

Felix insisted he was straight. But she also thought that her brother was straight until now too! She had never questioned it, in all honesty, since he just flirted with so many girls. But perhaps he only did that to hide the truth and maybe she needed to reach out to him, tell him that it was okay if he was gay and that he should not hide his true feelings!

At least, that was the plan until Serena heard the story. A prank. Wait. Howard. Howard White. She knew that name. There was a feeling in her chest that she could not quite describe. Things were still a little awkward around Howard. He had apologised to Jake and everything but... something did not feel quite right. She was not sure what it was but she found herself feeling a little odd around him. Maybe she had not fully forgiven him yet, she was not sure.

Ahem, she needed to focus on this story. Howard and Felix were messing with Desmond. Serena blinked. She was not entirely sure how she felt about this. She did not like her brother and she was glad Howard was not his best friend but... she also did not want her friends to end up as his enemy because it just made things way more awkward. What if Howard realised they were siblings and disliked her too- Wait- Wha-

WHAT DID FELIX MEAN THE KISS WAS TO THROW HIM OFF? WHO? WHAT? WHO KISSED WHO HERE? "Wait- who did what now with Des? What do you mean the kiss? WHAT KISS? WHY WAS THERE A KISS? WHO KISSED HIM? " Serena waved her arms around drastically, flailing around. It was a good thing that Pizza was not sitting on her shoulder, or he would have gone flying. "Did- Did Howard- For the love of Merlin, tell me that Howard did not kiss my brother!" She practically begged, in a slightly louder volume than she had intended, "WAIT-" Was Howard gay too?

Desmond kissed him back?! Serena stared at Felix, gobsmacked by the whole situation. A pang of jealousy hit her. In her outrage, she accidentally admitted to being related to that mess on a broom but she did not care. The idea of Howard kissing her brother made her feel kind of sick. Why did they have to?! There were like a million people out there for Desmond to hit on! Why did it have to be her- well uh, her friends?! That was it, that was why she outraged, obviously. That's all they were. Friends. Exactly. She would be just as horrified if he kissed any of her other friends, right? Yes. Howard and her... were friends, right? They might not even be that, she had no idea but it still hurt.

MENTIONING: Arjan Howard White

INTERACTIONS: @Serena Towers

Felix stared at the Hufflepuff girl in pure surprise when she suddenly started to shout in a panic. Had he hit a chord? He was just trying to explain himself through his own panic. Thankfully it seemed that when others panicked around him, his own tended to dissipate. Perhaps it was a reaction from taking care of his sisters. He couldn't be afraid or worried when he had to comfort them. "What? Who is Des?" What did he have to do with the story? He held up his hands as if he were being held at wand point when the girl started to grow more desperate. Was she really going to make him say it out loud? Why did she care so much? Was she into Arjan too? Gross. "T-The kiss! Between Arjan and I!"

Wait, she knew Howard? Huh... "Howard? No, he didn't kiss anyone. Why would he kiss your brother--..." Wait... Wait a minute. Something in Felix's brain suddenly clicked. Des. Brother. A nickname for her brother? But that would mean... Oh Merlin, please Merlin no. "... You... You are ARJAN'S SISTER?" Of course she was the guy's sister. It was just his luck to vent all of his problems to a girl, only for her to end up being his enemy's relative. Merlin, why the hell couldn't he learn how to keep his mouth shut? Now Arjan would most likely know that Felix had been talking about him. He might mistake it for him... Caring. Not in the nice way, but caring that the boy had kissed him, as if he were still feeling anything other than NOTHING towards the boy. Ugh, this just couldn't be!

"I... I'm not sorry for what I said about him." He blurted out suddenly. "I mean, you might know a different side of him, but I can't stand the guy. You seem cool, though. So maybe we can forget this conversation ever happened...? Hah..." Dammit, that was so uncool. He had wanted to be friends with this girl, not pout about how Arjan had kissed him.
