Ravenclaws are the best...i guess

[Cyndi Kingsley]

After waking up and dressing in a pair of jeans and a plain black, long-sleeved shirt, Cyndi made her way down to the Entrance Hall to meet Estrella. A few days prior to the Ravenclaw/Gryffindor match-up, Cyndi and Estrella made a bet with each one betting that her team would beat the other. At the time, Cyndi had been extremely confident and bold, so much so that she had agreed to wear a Ravenclaw shirt and declare the winning team's awesomeness for a day. Now, however, she realized that she should have kept her mouth shut. The boldness that was a Gryffindor trait had betrayed her. The game had been back and forth pretty much the entire time, but in the end, the Ravenclaw seeker had just beat out the Gryffindor seeker in catching the snitch.

Cyndi was determined to be a good sport about the whole thing because if the tables were turned, she knew that she would have thoroughly enjoyed this day. Instead, she walked down the last few steps slowly and waited in the entrance hall with her arms crossed over her chest for Estrella to bring her the Ravenclaw shirt she had promised to bring.

 

[Estrella Drage]

It seemed as if luck alone were responsible for Ravenclaw's win against Gryffindor. Not that Estrella minded; if luck won her a bet, she was all for it. Glee lit her features as she made the long journey from her house with nothing but a t-shirt in hand. Cyndi was waiting for her in the Entrance Hall as expected. Grinning widely, Estrella was down the staircase in an instant and next to her friend. She had decided not to gloat or tease Cyndi too much- she was one of her best friends after all. Not that Estrella wasn't going to enjoy this immensely. She had full intentions of following the Gryffindor all day, just to make sure she lived up to the bet. Handing the shirt to Cyndi, she chuckled mischievously, "Ready to proclaim your love for Ravenclaw?"

Cyndi saw Estrella coming down the steps and saw that she looked entirely too happy about all of this. "Yea, yea. Let's get this over with" Cyndi said as she held her hand out for the t-shirt and took it. Pulling it on, she tried her best to keep a straight face, but couldn't help but laugh a bit as she saw how thrilled Estrella seemed to be. "You are way too happy about this...so, is there anything special I should say?" she asked as she waited to begin.

 

[Estrella Drage]

Estrella snickered at Cyndi as the Gryffindor pulled on the Ravenclaw shirt. "I must say, Cyndi, bronze and blue really suit you!" The Ravenclaw took in the activity of the Entrance Hall. Although a few looks were thrown their way, no one had yet approached the two seventh year girls. Sticking her tongue out at her friend, Estrella laughed, "You would be happy too if you had won! Uhm... nothing in particular besides what we bet on." She patted Cyndi on the back and grinned. "So, what do you say to getting some breakfast? I'm sure a good number of curious Gryffindors and Ravenclaws are already chowing down..."

Cyndi saw that students were beginning to look at her curiously and it was no wonder since she was donning a Ravenclaw shirt. She knew it was only a matter of time until someone asked her what she was doing and she would have to declare Ravenclaws greatness.

As Estrella asked whether she wanted breakfast, Cyndi nodded. The smell from the Great Hall was making her stomach growl and even though she knew her Gryffindor friends would certainly want an explanation, she needed to get some food inside of her. "Yea...i guess it's time" she said as she slowly walked toward the doors of the great hall.
