Disappointment was all over the gryffindor's face. Quidditch was his escape from everyday routine, providing him with every day practices for the upcoming matches. Now that the next match was cancelled, practices were going to space out as well. He didn't know who was to be blamed for the games cancellation but he was hoping that they were going to suffer from spattergroit.
"Dammit! I was so ready for this!" he snapped. He had gathered so much energy about that match. Where he was supposed to channel it now?
"I know! If we were going to play together we would have aced the game! It's a shame. Really..." he commented, deciding to let it go. There was no point in thinking about it.

Minoas wasn't really sure what he was going to do after school. He had several years in front of him before that and he already had so many options and aspirations in mind.
"Maybe this will happen in the future." he nodded. He knew that becoming a professional player wasn't a walk in the park. It required dedication and charisma. In addition, they were so many people trying for a professional team and that was making the possibilities to be accepted in one of them, really slim.
"You sound like you have been searching for professional teams. To which you have been applying?" he asked his sister, knowing that she liked the idea of becoming a pro player.
Deciding to cast away any thoughts about the cancelled match, he flew closer to Briar and nodded for a pass.

Brir was mad at the thought that the quidditch match was being canceled. "I bet the snakes chickened out because they were scared" she said loping over backwards holding the broom only by her knees as she went upside down. She was glad that the conversation quickly changed to a topic that was a lot more pleasant to her, although the change was quick is wasn't quick enough for the old lion, and it left a bitter cidic metal taste in her mouth.
She laughed at the question about professional teams. "yeah I have been attending trials for a couple of years. I have tried a few few teams, I actually thought your cousin would have said. the one I want the most is the thunderers, but they seem to be a little full, so my second option is the Macaws." she said. She wanted to play in the australian league as she knew that is was one of the most intense and competative leagues in the world, which some rough matches, and although the macaws were a new Zealand team they plated in the australian league so that there would be enough teams for a competition, she certainly wasn't going to play to the wanderers, as she was a thunderers fan and that would just be wrong. "Do you have any plans over the holiday Min?" she asked wondering what the boy was planning over he big break. she It suddenly struck her hard then, harder than a bluddger causing her to be motionless for a moment before continuing flying it wasn't really a holiday for her as she was going to be out of the school and not returning again. when her brother gestured to for the ball she darted forward in a zig zag before passing it quickly and directly to him.

Minoas smirked when Briar mentioned that the Slytherins might have balked, concluding to the cancellation of the match. He liked the idea that the snakes might were afraid of their skiils and superiority in the pitch but it seemed to him that the reason had mostly to do with Hogwarts's management. Regardless, there was no way to change that so there was no point to worry. He was only feeling slightly sorry about Briar that was going to be her last match as a student. He was going to have more chances in the future.

It was going to be a shame for his sister not to take advantage of her extraordinary talent as a chaser and he was pleased to hear that she had already started making contact with different Quidditch teams. He grinned when she referred to his favourite team. It would be odd to play for Thunderers. He couldn't imagine himself asking her for an autograph. "Good for you. Maybe I'll become a fan of yours. A R-awe-an!" he chuckled as he came up instantly with a name that could be used by her fans."My cousin plays for the Macaws a few months now. A decent team as well to consider." he approved both her choices. His eyes rolled slightly when she mentioned that she believed that Icarus might have informed him about her try-outs. "I'm afraid that Icarus has minimum free time this period. I think he's also seeing someone." he winked mischievously with a large grin to his explanation.

During his course to the goal posts, he tried to pass through as many hoops as possible. He dove slightly to catch Briar's pass and sped up. "Not something fixed yet but my parents are referring a lot in their letters to Egypt. It would be nice to celebrate my birthday along with the company of a few mummies." he sarcasted a little bit but he loved the destination. "Of course we are going to visit family as well, Greece is not far from Egypt so I guess that's why they chose it." he explained. Unlike the southern hemisphere, where winter was slowly announcing its arrival, northern hemisphere was going to have summer with long, hot days. He didn't know if Egypt had any nice beaches to enjoy the sea but he was sure he was going to do so in Greece.
"What about you? You can actually go wherever you like now." he pointed out since she was already an adult and free to roam around the world. As soon as the three golden hoops were within striking distance, he punched the scarlet quaffle from his grip towards the right one goal post.

Briar laughed at the expression on Minoas's face when she said that hte snakes were probably scaired. she hadnt been serious n this though, though it would have been nice it that was the reason. she didged through a few hoops racing her bother allong the pitch "It is good to know i will have at least one fan." she said beofre ducking to get though a florecent blue and white ring below them. "I noticed her joind. I tend to follow the australian leagu more than the others. they always have the roughest, most copetative games. he is doing pretty well, though he should have saved that goal last match" she said, refering to the last match that team had played agains woolongong, but she n she was one of the kind of players who liked playing hard, if that meant it seemed a little rough then so be it. at the news that he was seeing someone she had an idea as to who it was. "I bet it is the freaky divination professor. I have seen them together quite a few times" she said remembering the ball a couple of years ago when the professor in question had told her that someone would find out her secret. although she had been right Briar didn't trust the woman, she knew too much, she had known about her being a werewolf even though she had no reason to, and had known about jaden finding out even before she did, and she always seemed to talk in riddles which didn't help.
Although briar had heard of Egypt once or twice, an odd word in class, or somewhere else in passing she didn't know much about it. "what is in Egypt?" she asked she was about to ask where it was but minoas already said that it was near to geese. "and what has egypt got yo do with mummys?" she wondered, wasn't mummy another term for mom? what did that have to do with location couldn't he celebrate his birthday with his parents anywhere seeing as it was in the holidays. "I am thinking of moving to australia. I liked it there when I visited over the holidays a couple of years ago" she said. she had gone there the holiday after she had been adopted by the margeras and had had her first holiday, away from the castle there, no wonder why it only contained good memories for her. "then I need to get a job, so that i can buy some land. but once I do you will be welcome to stay any time whenever you need a break from your brothers." she said the last bit getting lost as she darted forward after the ball as minoas shot catching it just before It reached the hoops. "good try, but you got to do better than that" she said turning around and making her way back along the pitch in the opposite direction ducking though the rings as she went.

Minoas was more than convinced that Briar was going to have more than one fan during her professional career. Those who were able to recognise pure talent would ignore her werewolf status annd will concentrate on her skills.
He wondered if she was going to keep hanging out with him in her growing fame. Knowing her for the past three years, she wasn't the type of person that could be intoxicated by fame's sweet taste and forget the people she cares of. "Don't worry...how many werewolves are out there? I'm sure you are going to have their full support as well. You will also become a great role-model for other werewolves who are hesitant to make their big step in life." he said as he could imagine the inspiration she could offer to people with the same status. Everyone needed someone to look up and chase their aspirations.

He frowned when she blocked his attempt to score but he didn't let his guard down. He followed her, flying at the same height, passing through the same hoops. He almost choked with his chuckle when Briar referred to the divination professor. "Knowing from his turbulent life, I would say that she was last years model." he commented as he was catching up with her, recovering with a cough from his choke. He was feeling somewhat bad about the divination professor although he had never talked with her in person.

He was surprised to find that his sister had zero knowledge about the greatness of Egypt. Minoas might was hating most of modern history but he had a thing about ancient civilizations. "C'mon! Egypt! Pyramids, camels, pharaohs, mummies." he tried to use some keywords that could help her get the picture. "I can't wait to learn more about their magic!" he exclaimed, always intrigued by ancient magic. He just couldn't wait to take some pictures outside the great pyramid. His enthusiasm vanished when Briar confessed that she was thinking to move out to Australia. "Never been there." he compromised to that single comment. He was pretty sure that his parents weren't going to allow him travel to Australia and visit her on his own. Not for now. Maybe later that he could apparate as well, they would be able to see each other more often.

"Well, my house is open for you. You can come and stay with us until you'll find a place to stay. Plus, my father is looking for temporary employees. You know, just for summer. You can get yout first money from there." he suggested, offering as much help as he could. As long as he was able to help a friend he was going to do so.
He sped up in an attempt to get himself at the right spot to block her attempt to score.
