Quid Spectator Slytherin vs Ravenclaw Fall 2022 Finished

Taisia arrived at the Quidditch Pitch clad in blue and bronze. Well, maybe not clad- she had worn a Ravenclaw scarf. To be honest, part of the reason she had gone was because she was hoping to see Lazarus. The girl hadn't seen him since the Fall Ball and was nervous about it. They had had a wondrous time. But she was definitely interested in Quidditch too, although she didn't think she'd ever make the team. She sat in the stands and watched the two teams walk out. Taisia didn't recognise any of the Ravenclaw players, nor the Slytherin players for that matter. Oh well, she could still cheer for them. The stands were filling up with Ravenclaw and Slytherin supporters alike. The seats on either side of Taisia remained bare. The teams began their warm up and Taisia watched both teams carefully. Her dad had taught her how to analyse Quidditch (and any other sport) when she was younger, and, her eyes like a hawk, she looked for strengths and weaknesses in both teams. The captains were called over and the Referee spoke to them. Then, when every player was least expecting it, the balls were released. "START MATCH!"

@Rebecca Loops
Sirin made her way to the quidditch stadium: a massive expanse of land that reminded Sirin of the colosseum. She took a spot, along with her ferret Elysia. Yes, she brought a pet. She wasn't quite sure if it was permitted but Sirin was definitely emotionally attached to that ferret. Elysia squeaked and curled into a ball, perhaps intimidated by the loud, jeering crowd. Today marked the day of the Slytherin vs. Ravenclaw quidditch match, and Sirin could never be more excited. She was more than ready to support her house, in fact, she'd brought a trumpet just to make some noise. She'd borrowed it from her dad, who somehow managed to owl it to her a week before the game.

Sirin chose a spot, close to the rink so she could see clearly the events of the game, but also far enough so that she and Elysia wouldn't get hurt by any of the balls. Sirin was well aware of how hazardous the bludgers were. As she settled down and took out her hand-crafted poster, she bumped into someone next to her. From the robes, it seemed to be a slytherin--her rival. Taking a closer look, it was a slytherin boy whom Sirin recognized--it all came rushing back.

Rebecca Loops--from the Tea Drinkers club.

Rebecca had arrived early to get the best seats. The wind was biting this high up in the stadiums, but his Slytherin scarf kept out some of the chill, and his excitement drove away any other cold he could be feeling. He loved quidditch, even if he was dreadful at playing it. One of his uncles worked in the Department for Magical Games and Sports, and always secured the family with tickets for Quidditch events. At the last world cup Rebecca and his sisters had gone wild watching the world's greatest fly against each other, and Rebecca was determined to bring that same energy now that he was at Hogwarts and had his own house to root for.

The stadium began to fill as more students arrived, ready to support the players. The Ravenclaw house had arrived in force, wearing blue and yelling wildly. More Slytherins had also arrived, clad in green and hollering just as loud. Rebecca was smiling through it all, feeling energized by the collective excitement in preparation for a good game.

As the announcer's voice boomed through the stadium, Rebecca leaned forward in anticipation for the balls to be released. "YOU GOT THIS, LADS!" he cheered.

He felt his shoulder brush up against someone else and turned to apologize when he saw it was someone he recognized. Sirin! And she had a ferret in her lap!

"Oh- hello!" he greeted. "Cute ferret!"

He grinned a little impishly at her. "Ready to watch Slytherin win?"

Finally the first day's match has arrived. Irina was practically jumping of contentment. She loves sports and Quidditch is imprinted on her heart. The best memories of her young life are filled with Sunday playing matches at her house's courtyard and going with her family at the London Quidditch Stadium watching the Holyhead Harpies games, her favorite team. Her dream is to one day become a chaser and be able to help her team play for victory.

For today's match she decided to trade her school robes for her own clothes. A plaid skirt in shades of green and her new favorite black jacket with a green snake embroidered in the back. As the weather was a little bit chilly, she decided to bring her Slytherin's scarf and a black beanie hat.

When she arrived at the Quidditch pitch she noticed that there were still a lot of empty seats. Although a lot of people has arrived at the same time as she. A lot were already yelling for their team with cheerful encouragements. It was impossible not to feel contagious with all of that energy of excitement and anticipation. Irina was climbing to the stairs to find a seat were she could see the entire game, she had to choose wisely since as a first year she's not that tall and easily would be in the middle of much taller students who would be in front of her blocking the view. Was when she saw Rebecca talking with a Ravenclaw girl with purple hair, Sirin and next to them was Taisia. She remembered the purple-haired girl from their first ride at the Hogwarts' Express, they had shared the train's compartment and Tai was her "crime partner" at the PSS club! Irina was happy to see her friends there! She walked then closer to them, taking the seat next to the Slytherin boy, "Hi there! How are you guys? Merlin, I'm so excited for the game!" She greeted them with a wide smile. Then she turned to the pitch, "GO SLYTHERIN!! SNAKES FOR THE WIN!" she yelled, placing hands on either side of the face to redirect the sound of her voice.

It was a crisp fall day, perfect for a Quidditch match. Heading to breakfast, Bailey pulled on her outfit: a dark blue trench coat over her grey shirt, grey pants, her grey boots, a navy beanie, and her Ravenclaw scarf and bag.
She packed a napkin, thermos, her wand, a book to read, a notebook with a pen, and some cookies in her bag.
She’d fill up the thermos with hot chocolate at breakfast, and grab some toast too.
Heading down to the pitch a few hours later, Bailey shivered. It was a tad chilly, but nothing a cup of hot chocolate wouldn’t fix.
Sitting on the bench Bailey glanced at her watch. It was noon- the game was scheduled to start soon.
Pulling out her book, a muggle classic by the name of Little Women, Bailey munched on a cookie as she read.
Pouring herself a glass of hot chocolate, Bailey warmed her hands up.
Looking around, Bailey wondered if she’d seed her friend @Colin McCoire and @Clair Fernandez together.
She also Wondered if fellow Ravenclaw @ Jorah Moussa would be playing. He had missed the most meeting of the MAC, probably for Quidditch practice.
Baileys was also watching for @Damion White, @Sylvain Wyllt, and a few other of her friends on the Ravenclaws quidditch team.

Open to interactions!

Taisia watched as Irina headed her way. The two were crime buddies from the Pranksters' Secret Society, and sort of friends (more was developing). The girl was wearing green and black and Taisia had almost forgotten their teams would be competing. "Hi there! How are you guys? Merlin, I'm so excited for the game!" She greeted Irina with a nod, smile and a wave.
"GO SLYTHERIN!! SNAKES FOR THE WIN!"
Taisia grinned as her friend screamed out.
"GOOO RAVENCLAW!! YOU GOT THIS!!'' She challenged the girl. Taisia was particularly keen to see Aly Salinger (the Ravenclaw Keeper) and Koko Riddleplay (the Slytherin Keeper), because her position of interest was keeper. One day she hoped to play for Ravenclaw, though it wasn't her dream. As Irina sat down, Taisia looked at her.
A small idea popped into Taisia's head. They could do a bet. And it would (hopefully) make them closer. The Slytherin girl had caught Taisia's attention as someone who would be an amazing friend.
"Loser gets to be the first Pranksters' Secret Society Target?"
The words had just come out of her mouth, but nevertheless she put out her hand, wondering if Irina would actually take it.

Tai was definitely entering the spirit wasn't she? Irina thought amused with her friend's enthusiasm cheering for her team. A glint in her eyes told her that somehow she was trying to provoke her! "There's no way Ravenclaw is going to win from the best Tai, I'm sorry! Right Rebecca?" She smiled at her team mate looking for some support. When she turned again at Taisia the first thing she noticed was a stretched hand on her direction, the words she heard though, from Tai's mouth, reached her ears with such amusing delight... "Loser gets to be the first Pranksters' Secret Society Target?" the girl challenged her. Is she kidding me? Irina thought about the consequences of it...it's not quite what she wanted...to be pranked by her own team. Not quite what she had imagined...but in the other hand, if she got to prank Taisia first...that would be loads of fun! "Tai, birdy friend, we have a deal!" She said with a cheeky smile, closing her hand around Taisia's. "You heard her guys, here we are going to decide our first prank target!" She announced dramatically to the others PSS' members, Rebecca and Sirin. Ironically the four of them were all together at the right time and at the right place.

The slytherin boy grinned mischievously at Sirin. There was no way she would let Slytherin win---and if they did, Sirin knew she would swear upon her heart to never succumb to the snakes. So, Sirin put on her fighting spirit--and so too did Elysia, They both were screaming (or squeaking) and Sirin was waving her poster so wildly that she was sure it would tear in one place or another--or fly away into the pitch. As she continued to cheer her team and watch the balls fly around wildly, Sirin noticed Irina and Taisia, the two girls from the prankster's club, make a deal. To be friends, slytherin and Ravenclaw, while this match was going on was a pretty difficult task in Sirin's mind---in her eyes, any slytherin friends she once had were now her foes. Of course, at the end of the day it was time to put aside those prejudices. She greeted Irina, who had kindly greeted her back.

"You better watch your words, Rebecca--Ravenclaw has already secured a victory, and I know it."

Perhaps Sirin sounded too overly confident, but it never hurt to have faith in what was like your family---house Ravenclaw.

As the match went on, Sirin craned her neck to see Bailey, an older Ravenclaw girl who Sirin had met at her Tea club's meeting. Bailey was always very friendly, and Sirin happily greeted her.

"Hey Bailey! Ready for today's game? Come, come, sit with me! We need more support for Ravenclaw up here! I have an extra poster you can hold!"

Hunter sat and watched quietly as the cool breeze flowed through the warmful sunlight. He had the utmost confidence in Ravenclaw's win for this match, as he recalls their flawless win in Broom Racing during the summer against Slythryn as well. There was a certain rivalry between the birds and snakes that Hunter was a bit familiar with. A bit of him wondered who he was supposed to be cheering for as he knew the names of more snakes than birds. Some of his own housemates even considered him to be deceitful and untrustworthy to be called a true Ravenclaw. However, his actions were always for the cause of knowing more. Either way, that didn't matter as of now.

Even in a match like this, he was still quiet and unwilling to scream or yell cheerful tones for his house team, or slander their opponents. He was a bit annoyed by the comments being made all around, feeling like a headache might arise if such loud noises were to persist. Normally Hunter didn't attend quidditch matches, but he had a reason now to attend. He held a banner to cheer everyone onward and show he wasn't a true enemy of his house. Also, there was someone he had to keep his eyes on to make sure they wouldn't collapse during this match.
