LGBTQIAP Club Meetings IC

"Thank you so much. I hate being so late. But somehow it always ends up happening. My name's Riley Williams by the way. I'm Rowan's flat mate," Riley sat down in the empty chair, crossing his legs a bit and flicking a small piece of fuzz off of his pants, "What kind of a game is this anyways?" He asked the other two boys, nibbling a little on his bottom lip like he does whenever he gets nervous about anything. And as of right now it was the fact that he had no idea what was going on.

Rowan relaxed as Miko dropped the whole ‘oh sh*t you’re my ex.’ Thing. And he even let Riley on their team. Nice! 

“Hello mop head. I thought I told you to fix your hair like five minutes ago..? And your shirt is untucked again!” 

The friendly banter cut some of the awkward tension for Rowan. Hopefully Miko wouldn’t go off on him. Either of them. 

“Whatever. Anyhow, yeah, we’re testing our knowledge on LGBT flags. Basically one team will hold up a flag and we have to guess what it is. First one to get it gets the points I believe.” 

As Riley’s nervous tick came up, Rowan tapped his hand lightly, giving him a small smile, before turning away again to look at the stage.

Giving her partner a quick nod she grabbed the flag they had selected together, and unrolled the bundle of fabric. Holding it in-front of her chest she looked the flag over, it had three rows of color. On the top was hot pink, in the middle was a very bright yellow, and on the bottom was a vibrant blue. Lily didn’t think anyone could ever call a flag like the one she was holding boring, actually she could say it was the very opposite of boring, it was so bright and cheerful looking she might have had to look away. Turning around Lily looked to Jay for further instructions. Lily could already feel the walls of the room collapsing on to her as she started to panic, and she could feel the eyes of her fellow peers staring at her. Lifting the flag higher up so it covered her face she let a breath slip from her lips.

Rowan raised his hand quietly.
Most of the groups were chattering among themselves, and another wix looked ready to raise their hand and call out the name, but the male hoped to beat them to it. His eyes were bright with excitement and competitive glee.

"The pansexual pride flag."

He called, his voice not raised, but instead even and calm, though still carrying over the loud crowd to the stage. 
This one he knew well. It used to be his own.... or so he thought a few years ago. But ahhhhh people change like the seasons. 
He glanced around at the crowd as he thought this. 

Rowans team went first and Rowan aswered for them, his answer was the Pansexual flag and he was completely correct. “Yes, one point to the red team. Now it’s your teams turn,” Jay said then writing on the white board,

Red: 1

Jay wondered what flag would they do, perhaps a uncommon flag or a common one? But to be honest jay knew all the flags and recognized all of them, this had only happened because of the one time they were bored at the manor and decided to memorize all of the lgbtq+ flags just for kicks. And look at them now, the knowledge actually came to use.

After a bunch of chattering that took way too long, Rowan finally rolled over to the stage, flag in his lap. All eyes were on him. Not something he minded specifically but not ideal.
Unfolding the flag, he held it in front of him, his head poking over the top of the coloured fabrics. 
This was a flag he knew well, but he couldn’t decide whether or not he related with it. His mind wandered a bit as his eyes skimmed over the crowd, searching for any indication these people knew what the Grey and purple flag ment. Hopefully it wasn’t too odd. 

Koko brightened immediately. This was one that she knew! Raising her hand, she said, "That's the demisexual flag, isn't it?" She didn't doubt herself, but she still wanted it to come out as a question of sorts. She glanced around the clubroom; not awkwardly but in a way shyly. While she was fine with some attention, she didn't want all eyes on her.

The room was hot and stuffy. It smelled like butterbeer and firewhisky all mixed into one. The scent didn't smell bad by any means; it was just unfamiliar. Koko leaned back, finally lowering her hand as she stared at the ceiling in wait.

Miko frowned at how fast the girl had answered, he hoped it was a difficult one to guess but he was proved wrong. "Ehm, yes it is. Congratulations yeh guessed it!" Instead of getting all sour over the loss he just chuckled quietly and nodded. "Very well then, good luck everyone." 

Miko wasn't familiar with a lot of peoples' faces or names or anything for that matter but that didn't stop him from being friendly. In fact you'd have to do something pretty bad for him to not be friendly towards you. Just in general Miko Limof was a friendly person, it's apart of his personality mwahahahaaha.

So now it was her team's turn. The aquamarine. Koko shot a glance at her partner, not a rude one, but also not one that conveyed too much emotion, and Koko reached for the flag. Her and her partner had chosen one that was somewhat common, but sometimes simplicity was welcomed. She kept the flag rolled up as she made her way to the stage. She stepped up there, carrying a regal-like air that suited her well. She felt like royalty standing on the raised platform, as if the students around her were her subjects. As if the flag was the flag of the kingdom. Koko's pale fingers worked with the flag as she unrolled it, raising it above her face--it's height was slightly taller than her own, so she had to raise her arms in order to nor have it drag along the floor.

Miko knew this one, it was is flag after all. He tried to give everyone else a moment to say it but he was practically vibrating in his seat. 

"That's the bisexual pride flag!"

The Hufflepuff grinned and looked to his teammates with a thumbs up. That would be the second point their team got and Miko was participating. Pouting was boring, it keeps you from actually having fun so basically the boy just threw that out the window. The game seemed fun, and besides, Riley didn't seem that bad, right? He was nice, he had manners and he wasn't annoying so that's a plus side.
