That Slytherin Keeper was very good, she thought as she sat next to Conan, her hands clenched tightly in her lap. She was doing her best not to be in coach mode - not today. Today, she was just a mum in the stands, trying not to embarrass her kids. She didn't worry about distracting them, because that was impossible when they were playing Quidditch, but she didn't want them to think that she would be upset if they lost. After all, they couldn't both win this game. One of them was going to have to lose, but she considered it would only truly be a loss if they didn't try their hardest. "You got this Jonah!" She called out, unable to keep quiet entirely. She was incredibly proud of how they were flying, enjoying the very different tactics both of her kids had in this game. It was usually true no matter where they were, Jonah was more of an offensive flyer, and Sayuri tended to be get there quick and easy. In her opinion Jonah was the more aggressive player, but people would see Sayuri and think she was, because she played physically whereas Jonah tended to play mentally. But she knew her kids, she knew which of her children was more aggressive in the air. "Nice catch Yuri!"​
 
Siobhan hadn't been back on the grounds of Hogwarts since Flynn's graduation, but she was starting to realize she needed to do some more active recruiting. It wasn't at the top of her priority list when it came to Quidditch League duties, and the school had a rather small recruitment pool. However, this was more enjoyable than a lot of other work activities, and she enjoyed watching Quidditch, missing the days when she coached some youth league and gave private flying lessons. The former Gryffindor leaned forward on the seat as the game started, watching as bludger hits started quickly. She turned for a second to focus on the chasers, seeing if there were any particularly good maneuvers being used by the players.
 
Corey was so excited to be back now that he was not a student. He couldn’t believe he was seeing the kids play! Against each other! This was gonna be the best game because Sayuri and Jonah were both starting players and they’ve always been competitive with each other. It was just a shame Eli and Lewis weren’t playing. Would have been really cool to see them too. “YEAAAAA SA-CHAN!” he cheered as Sayuri scored against Hufflepuff. “Pick it up Jo-chan!!! Goooo Hufflepuff!!!” Sorry Sayuri but Corey-nii was decked out in Hufflepuff regalia today!​
 
"Yes! Nice dodge Sayuri! Go, go, go!" Since Corey was cheering for Jonah, Ru had taken up the panel for Sayuri, since mum seemed to be alternating between the two and Dad would probably be sneakily on the side for Jonah even though he would attempt to be unbiased. "You got this Sayuri!"​
 
It was a little surreal to be back here, watching her own old team play. Odette loved playing for the Macaws, and had taken the opportunity to watch Hogwarts games to see what sort of players might join in a few years. She had no intention of stopping yet, but also knew she couldn’t go on indefinitely. She leaned forward to watch, feeling nostalgic. Had it really been more than a decade since she had been on the pitch as Slytherins captain? She smiled slightly as the Slytherin beater hit someone with a bludger. She lacked some finesse, but the enthusiasm was there.
 
Rica had never been to Hogwarts and she'd never really thought she would ever manage to see Hogwarts. It was curious to be here in the school that most of her siblings had attended, but it was so much fun to watch the younger ones duke it out on the Pitch in an actual game. They were watching Sayuri and Jonah this time, and it was interesting watching them on opposing teams officially. Honestly, she and Sayuri had similar play styles, which was why she had intended to cheer for Sayuri but Ru had annoyingly gotten to it first and she was fundamentally against Ru despite their age and supposed maturity now. Which meant she was on Jonah's team this time. Merlin that tiny little sh!t better not lose because she was not about to lose this bet. "YATTA JONAH! YEAH!" she cheered as Jonah stole a particularly aggressive pass Sayuri made.​
 
Conan wondered if he should have warned his boss about having eleven out of his twelve children within the same area that was not their home. Plus his wife. The youngest set of twins - each of them were standing on his lap, eagerly watching the game. They were enraptured and well-behaved, which was more than could be said for his three present eldest children who were screaming and nearly jumping. Honestly, the most surprising was that his wife hadn't started yelling orders yet, standing up. He was cheering for both Sayuri and Jonah of course, although for this game he was betting on Hufflepuff winning. Maybe Sayuri could score more than Jonah and they'd call it even? Unlikely.​
 
Hinata, unlike her family, was much calmer in her support. She did bring Jonah's little Hufflepuff and Slytherin flags and waved them around. While she was a little conscious about doing so since they were seated in the Hufflepuff stands, she wanted to cheer for her sister as well. With Slytherin winning this game last year though, she couldn't help but hope just a little bit that Hufflepuff take the win for this one.​
 
Rose felt a surge of nostalgia as she sat down in the stands between her dad and sister. She had a huge grin on her face as she looked around the crowd. These kids were so young. Had they always been this young? She was glad she was here to support her sister, it was nice to get a break from the baby, even though she felt a little guilty about that. She beamed and elbowed her dad. "I think I see her down there. LUCY! LUCY!" She called, waving to try to get her attention. @James Holland
 
Alice hoped her mum wasn't regretting watching both Myrie and Lily today, as she knew both kids at once were probably a handful. Still, she was grateful for the opportunity to hang out with her oldest sister and her dad, as well as the chance to see Lucy play Quidditch. It was a familiar feeling, hanging out in the stands to watch someone play. It was surreal that it was now her little sister instead of her boyfriend. Especially as the sister had barely been born when Alice had been cheering on Elliot, and her boyfriend was now her husband. Time really was a strange thing. She winced as Rose started shouting. "She can't hear you from up here." She told her sister, unsure if she heard her.
 
For the amount of daughters he had sent here, James had always found it strange that the only part of the southern Hogwarts he had ever seen was the Great Hall, during graduations. Every time one of his children left home he felt a new, painful disconnect with them as they entered this place, walking out of his arms into an unfamiliar place, off to change and grow where he couldn't see them, coming back entirely different people. He had gotten used to it eventually, with the older girls, but Lucy... Lucy was his baby, and now every time he blinked she had disappeared and reappeared as more of a young woman, someone who was having a whole life somewhere else, somewhere he couldn't even really picture.

But here he was - getting to watch his baby play Quidditch for the first time. He desperately wished Lucy had picked a less aggressive position, but this was her way of asserting her independence for the first time, and he wasn't going to stand in the way of that. He had often worried about Lucy, living in the shadow of four successful sisters, and it was a relief to see that she had found her own ways to succeed. And now he got to watch her, alongside Rose and Alice. Ignoring Alice's comment, James leaned forwards and waved too, adding his voice to Rose's. "LUCY!" He yelled, waving hard to where he could see his daughter talking to her team - the team she captained, he thought with a pang of pride. "GO LUCY!"

Willow knew a quidditch game wasn't the best place to bring a baby. However, she was getting crazy at home and it would be nice to see her sister play. she knew if thngs got too noisy she would have to make an exit or if Acer get too wingy she would have to go so she found a spot at the end of the row near the stairs next to her mum and brother
She had seen many quidditch matches over the years both at school professional ones. so once the whistle went she cheered/ "Go Ivy, go gryffindor" she called letting out a groan when the ravenclaws got the quaffle first. but her sister was in hot pursuit. and she let out a whoop when she managed to steal it. "Come on ives" she cheered as her sister neered the goal. however it was then a cheer erupted from the stadoim her first thought was sheh asnt shot yet"[/b] and then it was to her son who had started to gry. it was only then that she realised the game was over she would have liked to see her sister play a bit longer but she was glad gryffindor won. She got up and quickly headed down the stairs to find somewhere quieter to calm Acer before catching up with the rest of her family.
 
Ever since Halloween, Hugo's mind had been spinning. he and teddy had kissed in the spooky tent. then he had freaked out and run away. but somehow, he had not been able to run away from Teddy spinning around in his head. He knew he needed to talk to the Gryffindor, but didn't know what he wanted to say. it wasnt like he hadnt kissed people before. it wasn't like he hadn't kissed Teddy before. but all his previous kisses had been part of a game of spin the bottle. not in a haunted house tent. it was clear that he was feeling something for his friend, though it not necessarily clear what that something was. but the fact that he had kept replaying the moment in his head and could still feel a slight tingle in his lips must count for something, right?
today was quidditch day. Usually, Hugo used quidditch time to enjoy the quiet in the castle when most of the inhabitants were at the pitch. But he decided as headboy he should make a show of his face and cheer his team on. and the decision had nothing to do with the fact that they were playing gryffindor and his frog prince was their captain. Dressed in blue with his house scarf around his neck he cheered as the ravenclaws got the quaffle. "go Cyrus" he called. as the ball headed towards teddy and the gryffindor hoops. Unfortunately, before it got there, the Gryffindor girl managed to steal it and draw the attention the other way. then all of a sudden there was a cheer. it seemed someone, and by someone he meant the gryffindor seeker, had got a hold of the snitch and the game was over. Ravenclaw having lost. he let out a groan as he watched the players on both teams celebrate and comiserate. his eyes drifted back to the gryffindor goals just in time to see a bludger fly at teddy as he was celebrating. Hugo gasped his heart missing a beat but was glad to see it miss him. As he left the stands, he realised that he really did need to get a handle on his feelings soon before he went crazy.
