Quid Spectator Slytherin vs Ravenclaw Fall 2022 Finished

Violet finally arrived at the quidditch pitch after some running for her first watching quidditch experience. She was running because she thought she could be late to the match but luckily the match hadn't even started yet. She tried to catch her breath from all the running. Looking around her, she saw her same-house friends Irina and Rebecca with some Ravenclaws with them. She walked towards them and waved at Irina and Rebecca and just glanced and smiled at the others slightly. ‘’Hey Irina! Rebecca!’’ she said to them, her voice was still trying to catch up. ‘’It's nice to see you here’’ . Red took a deeper breath to catch her breath again then she calmed down. Well, she was still excited for the match but that was a different reason. ‘’I really hurried for no reason’’ she murmured.
The truth is she was really looking towards the quidditch matches because she liked to fly and quidditch seemed pretty interesting and fun to her, despite its obvious dangers. She actually dreamed about being in her house team one day, probably as a seeker, feeling the sensations, excitement and glory of winning a quidditch match and her housemates celebrating her and the team. But she knew she wasn’t ready yet and had a long way to go and learn before she even seriously applied for joining the slytherin quidditch team.
‘’Are we ready to win?’’ she grinned to her housemates, raising an eyebrow to the ravenclaws playfully, as if she was trying to say something else.

"Loser gets to be the first Pranksters' Secret Society Target?"

"You heard her guys, here we are going to decide our first prank target!"

Thank Goodness it's Friday! The worry of not having to go to class, or about homework (until the last minute) was a euphoric feeling for any eleven-year-old. This last week has overall been pretty well, Jannette not learned the Hover Charm but also had cake (which Jannette loved), in Professor Zoë's class, and was super excited about herbology as they'll be possibly dealing with baby Mandrakes! While these things were all fun, there was something that the brunette has been waiting for all week, and it was finally here Quidditch!

Today was Jannette's first day of watching an actual Quidditch match. Sure, she's spectated a friendly game a couple of days ago, but it's a totally different experience than actually watching a REAL Quidditch match! It was going to be exciting, Slytherin vs Ravenclaw! Jannette was in Slytherin (obviously) and molded her by default to not like Gryffindor students, but what about her complicated history with Ravenclaw? After the whole fiasco with Faye Simmons, she sorta hated Ravenclaws, thinking they were just a bunch of obnoxious know-it-alls; but that view changed once she met no, tackled by Hunter Argentum, who not only saved her from a rather devasting potion incident during dueling but also gave her a chocolate frog, which the Niffler happily gobbled up like the Cookie Monster!

The weather outside was beautiful, a nice sunny day and a breeze that was blowing through the girl's locks of hair, it got to the point to where her rather comically large sign had to be held in a bear hug. But none-the-less, the girl finally made it to the stadium, and it was completely packed! There was a wide mix of Ravenclaw, and Slytherin students altogether. Did the school really think it was a good idea to have both schools next to each other?

Though passing through the crowd, the usual accidental poking of her board, the typical apology escaping her lips, and the typical eye-roll from the older students became normal to her. As she was passing through the crowd, she noticed her first-year friends were there as also another group of Ravenclaw members thereto. This is gonna be interesting. "OIIii," She'd wave, waddling over to her first-year friends, Rebecca, Irina, and Violet. "You guys 'er 'ere too!? Oi though' oi would be duh only one 'ere."¹ She said with a smile, feeling rather reassured, "Oi brough' a sign!" She'd say, taking her sign and putting it up in the air for the rest to see! "See, see!! Isn' i' pre'ie?!"²

She'd look over to the Ravenclaw group, "Oh, I almos' fergo' -- I also 'ave one fer you gals too dah fi's perfec'ly fer your 'ouse!~"³ Mischief flashed in green eyes, and a taunting smirk now planted on her face. Jannette flips her sign over to show her wonderful masterpiece to the Baby Ravens!

1. "You guys are here too!? I thought I would be the only one here."

October 14th, 2022 : Date Noon : Time Hufflepuff Cardigan : Outfit

He was here to see some blood shed. Not too much or he’ll get quesy, but just enough to satisfy this undying hatred for Rainwood. Most of Hanako’s solutions to problems are just running away and pretending they haven't existed in the first place. Worked for most of the time. So it wasn’t a surprise to see him naturally avoiding his best friend of 3 years. Ex best friend, now actually. There was a part of him that knew this wasn’t the way to go about what happened between them. But between talking to him and making it worse, he’d prefer the static silence between them. While hopefully wishing for his demise while a good distance away was better. For both of them.

Plus…a little assurance that he could keep up with this anger wouldn't hurt. Even with his reluctance to see Rainwoods and his valid reasons for doing so, there was an occasional urge. One he needed to squash. He was so deep into this already. He wouldn’t be the one to fix their relationship again.

Upon arriving in the unfamiliar area, Hanako took a spot and appear as nonchalant as he could. Which was..not working. Any contact with Per- Rainwood, was off limits. This particular visit to the game may not offer him too many chances to do anything but watch from afar. But who knew it would be so…heart racing. It had to be from excitement right? The poor lad is going to fall off his broom in one round! What's there not to like? Perhaps the idea that on both occasions where Hana became a spectator of Quidditch games, both were for him. Perhaps it’s just been so long since he gotten a good look at him. Perhaps it was just.. chilly. Yea, that’s most likely it. The cold.

Even in thick brown coats and Slytherin scarf around his neck, he still managed to convince himself his heart raced because it’s cold. OOOOoo shit wait- a slytherin scarf???

Hanako pulled the scarf away from his neck like it was contagious and stared at it in disbelief. Was he really that distracted about Rainwood, that he forgot he shouldn’t wear anything that could’ve made him identifiable? “ Stupid - stupid stupid stupid “ he hide the green striped scarf behind hid back, but cringed from how …bare his face was. At least half of his face would’ve been covered by the scarf. He wanted to see Rainwood drop, he didn’t want to let him know that.

The usually confident Slytherin shifted in his place, looking around for solutions. And then bam- he found it @Bailey Gale

A Ravenclaw girl a few feet away from him caught his eye for numerous reasons. Well one obviously because he always appreciated good looks. Which he definitely had. The other main reason though was her lack of screaming in comparison to.. .some of the other loud students (you know who you are). But the more important thing is- no. T H E most important thing about her was her Ravenclaw scarf.

After checking his breath and pushing his hair back (for confidence boosting reasons) he scooted over the area as gently as he could without bringing attention to himself. Once he was close enough, he’d call out to her in the most gentle manner. “ Um..excuse me?” if she paid any attention to him, she’d see a kind smile from the boy. “ Sorry. I didn’t mean to disturb you. You-” he paused “ erm, I mean your book caught my attention. “ It was only then his eyes actually darted towards the cover of the book. “ Little women! I heard good things about it. Wanted to give it a try but phew.. Dueling practice and jeez 4th Year school work, sometimes, you know?” he gave out a small chuckle. Yea, that’s right. Little white lies shouldn’t be a problem as long as he had a cute face on. As i f he’d read boring books like that. He wasn't sure what it was about but he was certain it was boring. And dropping hints that he was a duelist 4th Year! Yeap that always worked with the ladies.

Well Hanako had some time to kill before Rainwood even played. He could work out some of that tension he had since coming here. What better way to de-stress than spend time with a lovely lady with a lovely Ravenclaw scarf. Ultimately, he wanted to find a way to borrow her scarf without looking like a thief. And hey, it’s a plus if she has as much fun as he does. Who was he to complain when he gets to spend time with a pretty girl.

“So what brings you - erm I mean the book here. During a ..very loud quidditch match. It’s an interesting choice, don’t get me wrong. I’m just a curious lad “ he showed her one of his best polite smiles.

This was not his…usual flirting tactics. Instead of the usual bold straight forwardness, it was tame. As if leaving room for rejection if there is one. The change of tactic was simply because he actually wanted something from her, and not to just piss her off. It made him squirm a bit thinking how unsure he sounded. But for some particular reason, being around the stranger seemed to relax him somehow. Or was he getting over confident that he could even succeed in his mission?

Regardless, a little harmless flirting with a pretty girl won’t hurt.

Hearing a voice, Bailey glanced up from her book. Looking up, Bailey saw a boy.
he had a cute smile Bailey though, smiling back at him.
She sort of remembered seeing him before, I’m the corridors.
Sticking her bookmark in her book, Bailey smiled and blushed a little.
“Ay, don’t worry about it!”
She knew that they weren’t in the same year, and this was confirmed when he mentioned dueling, and being a fourth year.
“Dueling? That’s cool, I don’t do any Magical sports but I do do Taekwondo.” Bailey mentioned. She figured he was probably trying to impress her, something that was tough.
“I have been considering joining dueling- is it fun?”
Laughing when the boy chuckled, Bailey smiled and said “I do understand being busy- being the owner and the person who runs four clubs and the co leader of five more, and member of about every other club at Hogwarts. That doesn’t leave me too much free time, but that’s ok. Both my best friend, @Kim Sato and I seem to be at every social event!”
Blushing, Bailey realized that she had never introduced herself.
She got distracted when the boy, asked what brought her and the book to the very noises quidditch game.
“Oh I’m just here to support Ravenclaw. I have a few friends on the Slytherin team as well, to be honest. But in all honesty, I bring a book everywhere- truly a stereotypical Ravenclaw in that way.”
Bailey thought about stopping there, but for some reason she kept going.
“That’s where I end being … stereotypical .” Bailey said with a wink, and then a laugh.
Am I … flirting? Bailey wondered, before brushing that off, thinking I’ll worry about that later
Smiling, Bailey stuck out her hand for the boy to shake if he chose to. “My name is Bailey- Bailey Glade! Third year, Ravenclaw, player of no magical sports.”
Sitting back, Bailey got a chance to actually look at the boy. He was cute, to be honest. he looks a little… frail Bailey thought. is he actually a duelist? And a fourth year? He’s kinda short Bailey then realized that he was taller than average.
Smiling again, Bailey tucked away her book, so she could focus on what hopefully promised to be a good conversation.

Well, surprise surprise, he wasn’t flat out rejected. “ Wow- Taekwondo..” Amazement was certainly one of his first reaction. If Bailey paid close attention to his tone though, there was a slight tinge of fear. Though it was covered as quickly as it came with his regular smiling face. “ That’s a very interesting thing to learn” which was no lie- he certainly was caught off guard with her ability. And it was interesting. Enough to remind Hanako he should be v e r y careful with his words. Fun and games are great and all, but not when someone (not him) was fully capable of destroying him. He learned that the hard way [cough Vale Ashwood cough]

“ Martial Arts, huh? That’s not a very popular activity among the wizarding community. Are you maybe a unique pureblood who took interest in it, or did you grow up among muggles?” At this time, it was essential not to make himself sound like it was a question of utmost importance, whatever the outcome may be. It was genuine curiosity, and a conversion to allow the conversation flow. Hanako has been many things, but he’d be damned if he gets into an argument about who's better: purebloods or non-purebloods. No one has the energy for that, and Hanako had even less. A bit too much lack of concern, one would argue.

“I have considered duelling, is it fun?”

“ Well…” he made a pretend thinking pose before breaking out into a smile. “ As a member of the Slytherin Dueling Team, I’m obligated to discourage you from joining the Murder of Merlin, but..” Hanako’s eyes found their way back onto hers, an appreciative smile evident on his face. “ Well, I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing you more often. Just don’t tell my captains, okay?” He gave her the quickest of winks.

Though he had to admit to himself that it would be a shame if he had to go against her. Those were the times his full potential of being irritating would come alive after that. But that was a future he could always think about later.

Hanako dropped hints that he had been a busy person, and it seemed to have worked but it feels like it was him that was suddenly being humbled. The more she told him of her extracurricular activities, the more he couldn’t hide his astonishment. And here he was thinking he was busy.

The friend she mentioned seemed oddly familiar to the Kim he knew off. One that consistently pretended his name was something else for giggles, Hana assumed. It was best not to mention his familiarity with that name just yet. Compliments were one of the last things he’d expected to come out of Kim Sato when Hanako Tone was mentioned. He didn’t anyone warning Bailey of any unsavory rumors that may have floated around the Slytherin boy. At least not until he gets that damned scarf. “ That is… hmm.. Actually, it looks like we both have different ideas of what being ‘busy’ means. But color me impressed. “ He admitted, with an odd mixture of amazement and worry. Just how do these people sleep, again? Do they even?

Despite that, the conversation took a turn into his favor the second Bailey attempted her own way of expressing her interest. While mild, it certainly almost took him by surprise. There weren’t a lot of people that were…receptive to his advances. For good reason, too. Regardless, her seemingly mutual interest had sparked something in him. Which dared him to add the slightest pinch of spice in the next smile he gave her. Which truthfully, would have been the most genuine he had ever been since his conversation started. A warning sign from a distance. But Bailey was free to interpret it however she seemed fit.

He took her hand and gave it a gentle shake, purposely holding it longer than necessary as he continued talking. “ Bailey Glade” he repeated, slow and steady. While it was a name he might forget in the future. It only gave him more reason to fully appreciate it, giving into the mysterious surge of relief that washed over him (calming presence things). “ Pleasure to meet you. Hanako Tone. But I’d love it if you addressed me as Hannah* ” He let go of her hand “ Bailey Glade, a non-stereotypical Ravenclaw. I’m afraid that’s not the same for me. Cunning, shrewd”. He trailed off, sending her a subtle smirk. “ Ambitious~”

“Can’t say I actively try to be different from the stereotypical Slytherin. It's the same qualities that have led me to you, after all. And that is certainly something I don’t think I’ll hate for the time being“ he paused and took the slightest step back, as if giving her more room. The words naturally came out of his mouth, but if that wasn’t something Bailey could handle, he could kiss that Ravenclaw scarf good bye. “ Sorry “ he apologised “Was that a tad bit too forward of me, Glade?”.

*Hanako's not using the proper pronunciation for his name, and is using the way you'd pronounce Han-Nah in a British accent.

Bailey felt that the boy was now on edge, possibly nervous or fearful. She hated that that was the immediate reaction to her revealing her talent or training, but it did have some merit for impressing people.
He did try to cover by smiling ‘normally’ and saying that if was interesting. Bailey smirked at that- interesting was one way to describe it.
“It is interesting! And awe inspiring and amazing and beautiful, but I might be slightly biased after doing it for so long.”
The boy did seem to be more on guard now that he knew that Bailey wasn’t just a pretty face with brains.
Bailey was slightly surprised when he mentioned her maybe growing up with the muggles. Most of the magical community seemed to steer clear of the blood purity related talk, but the boy seemed honestly and genuinely curious and interested.
“I’m actually muggle born, and I started before I found out I was magical. I just kept it up- my mum says that I should have a way besides magic to defend myself, should magic fail or if I don’t or can’t get my wand- does that make sense?”
The conversation turned to dueling.
he definitely is flirting with me….. bailout thought after the boy said ‘ Well, I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing you more often’, accompanied with a wink.
Bailey blushed, and decided to retaliate. She really had no interest in any love relationship at the moment, but what harm could come out of a little harmless flirting?
“I wouldn’t mind talking to you, and getting to see you more too…” baileys said, thinking I wouldn’t mind the chance to duel him, and show him exactly how much skill I have
The house did seem to think that his life was busy and did seem humbled when Bailey explained her schedule.
‘Color me impress’ the boy said, and Bailey smirked and Bailey contained herself- she also of said as you should be
She wasn’t usually one to brag but she always had to be right, when she knew that she was. It was one thing that she definitely did as a habit after living with her three younger brothers for 11 years and then all summer.
She introduced herself, and he repeated her name, albeit slowest. He introduced himself as Hanako Tone, but he said that He’d love it if shd addressed him as Hannah.
Bailey smiled and said “It truly a pleasure to meet you Hannah!”
As he let go of her hand he mentioned being the stereotypical Slytherin. He smirked at her, and she couldn’t lie, she felt a few butterflies in her stomach.
‘led me to you’ ‘ I don’t think I’ll hate for the time being’ Hannah’s words swirled around her mind.
He took the slightest step back, as if sensing her being uncomfortable.
maybe he’s the uncomfortable one… Bailey thought.
When he asked if that was too forward of him, she smiled, (which almost verged on a smirk) and said “No -you’re al good.”
Patting the bench next to her, she gestured for him to sit down.
“You should sit! I’m sure the match is going to start soon, and I’d hate for you to miss it. Though… you are in the Ravenclaw section- let me see if I have something, a spare banner or hat or something for you in my bag.”
Rummaging though her bag bailey failed to find something blue for the Slytherin to wear.
“I can’t find anything, sorry. Unless… you’d rather stick with you traditional green, and just look like the odd one out int he Ravenclaw section. Or… you could try and make it back to the Slytherin section, but I’m not too sure how that will work out.”
