Sapphire made her way into the stands with Kira and Onyx. She had promised to walk them up before going down to the pitch. She found what she thought would be a good seat and hugged them both, nervous. She waved and hurried down to the pitch.
 
Kira followed after Sapphire and Onyx. She had been reading up on Quidditch and was eager to see what strategies Jacob had planned. She had decided instead of watching for a winning team, she would just encourage all her Quidditch playing friends to play their best. It was better than focusing on winning and losing. She hugged Sapphire and smiled encouragingly. "Go get em, Sapph," she pushed her along, eager to see if they would let her play today.
 
Onyx followed his first two favorite girls into the stands. He'd seen a few games, but usually professional. This seemed like an interesting game, and he was curious to see who could win. The girls had a bet going. Sapph said leda would win, Kira said Jacob had an unbeatable strategy. Onyx hugged Sapph as she made her way back out, wishing her luck in case she got called in.
 
While Phoebe wasn't too interested in Quidditch, the Ravenclaw was competitive, especially when it came to her sisters. On her way to the pitch, she had caught up with Diana, who didn't seem too pleased with her older sister's company. "So, I bet Ravenclaw will win." She said to her younger sister, grinning. "We are smarter, after all." She took her seat with Diana, eager to needle her during the match. She just hoped her house wouldn't let her down.
 
Jacob didn't know Kira but he had recently met Onyx, so when he spotted him he dropped into the seat beside him with a 'hey.' Jacob wasn't cheering for anyone in particular. He'd recently learned that Jacob Two had been holding out on him regarding his flying skills and had recently made a starting position as well. But he knew Sapphire and Zennon too. Jacob hoped that it would be a competitive game because those were the most fun to watch.
 
Mervyn was still recovering from the embarrassment of his Quidditch tryout, but he wouldn't have missed this match for anything - not when his best friend Leda was out there. He had complete faith that she would catch the snitch, though he'd made a large sign that read 'GO SLYTHERIN!', just in case she needed a bit of encouragement. Seeing her wave up to the stands, Mervyn grinned and waved back, waving his sign around a bit to try to attract her attention. Even if she didn't win, he was proud of her.
 
Olive hadn't been sure whether to laugh or cry when she heard that her little sister had made the Slytherin Quidditch team. She hasn't been aware thst Leda had even tried out and it was only when she unexpectedly announced it in her office a few days prior thst she realised that she'd had it on her mind at all. Playing the position of seeker herself while at Hogwarts Scotland, Olive knew the risks and how important it was for their house, and while she had done her best to be supportive, she couldn't help but be a little worried thst she was about to be the main target for Ravenclaw. Olive had taken a few bludgers while at school, and she only hoped Leda was faster than she'd been when it came to avoiding them.

Taking a seat in the stands, she waved back at Leda with a grin on her face, surprised if she could even tell where they were all the way up here. She spotted Mervyn as he called out, and while she remained quiet she was glad the pair seemed to have made up since their little disagreement in her office.

Beaubelle was excited to look at the game. Her brother was playing for the first time and it was against her own house. She was a bit ashamed of cheering for her brother but still she was proud that he could play. Liam always loved quidditch and Beaubelle only watched, she was too afraid to fly. The white blonde smiled as she found a place and hoped some of her house members would join her soon. She noticed one girl sitting there and smiled as she heard what she said. '' I hope Ravenclaw will win too! But my brother plays in the other team so.. cheer for both. '' the blonde said with a small smile to the other Ravenclaw.
 
Lauryn was excited to watch the first game of the season, Ravenclaw versus Slytherin. She knows some people in Slytherin and Ravenclaw but none were in the team, she wasn't bias as well when it comes to teams but that would change if her team would be the one on the pitch right now. But for now, the brunette Hufflepuff went to the stands. Lauryn's gaze went upon to her blacked haired best friend, Kira who was sitting with another dark haired boy. She yelled for her and came running to where they were at. Lauryn didn't asked permission anymore to sit with them, "Hey, aren't you excited? First game of the season." She exclaimed to her best friend. "Any cute guys you're rooting for?" Lauryn knows Braxton isn't on the team and so is Philip as he's young to be in it anyways.
​
 
Diana hadn't intended to sit with any of her sisters for the match. She wasn't even sure if any of them would be watching it. But since her team was playing, Diana decided to go look. Quidditch wasn't her passion, but she at least cared about Slytherin winning because it would make her able to brag to her sisters and everyone else in another house. But apparently, Phoebe had decided to annoy her. "Ravenclaw is going to lose," she said, giving Phoebe a glare. "They are clearly the better team." In reality, she had no clue about anything. All she knew is that she wanted to be right, and for Phoebe to be wrong. An older girl spoke to them, and Diana raised her eyebrows. "Kind of mean of you to root for Ravenclaw if your own brother is on the Slytherin team, isn't it? Not very loyal to your family." She said, ignoring the irony of this conversation in contrast with her earlier argument with Phoebe. It wasn't like Phoebe was actually on the team, though if she was Diana would probably still root for Slytherin. "Who's your brother?" She asked, peering down at the Slytherin team.
 
Amaya had decided to make an odd appearance at the Quidditch game on the off-chance Sapphire may play. Normally, she would avoid such a large crowd, but she was too curious to care. She found Onyx quickly, surrounded by people. She ignored the boy and both the girls and sat behind her cousin, nudging him with her foot to announce her presence. "I hope Sapphire doesn't embarrass us," She stated idly. "It would make my life so much more fun if I didn't need to trail behind her redeeming the family name."
 
Kira smiled at Lauryn as she came to sit with them, already chattering excitedly. "Don't be silly," She told Lauryn. "I'm moral support for Jacob Finley and Sapphire Michaels," She explained, turning to look at the teams lining up. "I'm not rooting for either team to win, just hoping for a good game." She explained with a smile. She nudged Onyx so she could introduce him to Lauryn.
 
Onyx was enjoying himself already. He grinned at Jacob as he sat next to him. "Hey," He greeted, deciding for the moment it would be better for his health if he didn't comment on how cute the other boy looked today with the breeze ruffling his hair. He felt a nudge in his back and he turned to see his younger cousin Amaya behind him. He flashed her a grin. "Amaya!" Ignoring her off-handed comments about Sapphire being an embarrassment, he reached back and hugged her. He had just pulled back when Kira nudged him, and he turned to meet the lovely girl with her. Today was going to be a good day. His first match and he was surrounded by friends cheering for his amazing sister. Nothing could wipe the smile off his face.
 
Some people probably would have missed their sisters when they graduated, but for the youngest Kendall-Wu it wasn't a bland affair when Kimmyeon had taken leave at the end of the last semester. Kimmy had barely been in her life growing up and the Ravenclaw barely even acknowledged her eldest sibling except for when she had to. Kimmy of course hadn't spent much time at home over the holidays herself, quickly disappearing off to join the New Zealand Quidditch team. Taerin made her way up to the stands to watch her house no doubt defeat Slytherin, although only because she had nothing better to be doing. Soohye had decided to sacrifice her Chaser position and while Taerin didn't think much of the new boy that had taken her place, she supposed she was glad to see her sister a bit more. The second year smirked when she heard a girl announce Ravenclaw was going to lose, and tilted her sunglasses down her nose to peer over the rim at a familiar face. "Well look what the cat dragged in," she smirked, making her way across to the girl she'd met in Brightstone last year. "Who am I kidding? You're like me, another unfortunate soul who has to put up with this god forsaken sport for the benefit of their elders, right?" she commented briefly and somewhat under her breath, taking a seat a short distance away from Diana as she seemed more interested in talking to a girl from her own house. Obviously trying to get the inside scope. Pushing her glasses back onto her face, she crossed her arms and legs, waiting for Soohye to join her.
​
 
"You say that like it's a bad thing Taerin," the sixth year smiled down at her sister as she approached from behind, taking up residency in the chair beside her. It was very unusual for Soohye to be up here. Even at Beauxbatons she'd been a participant in these matches, and it was only this year that she'd decided to pursue dance over the sport. "I don't think you'd be here if you didn't want to be." she added quietly, offering the blonde a few segments of the orange she was munching on. She gave the girls a little way away from them a nervous apologetic wave, before turning to look out across the field at the players. "I think both teams have a very good chance of winning." There had been lots of changes by the looks of things, and with new players on both sides she thought it was going to be quite tense.
​
 
Ava bounced into the stands, eager to watch Sapphire play. She found a seat next to a cranky blond, who was being hugged by Sapphire's twin brother. She smiled happily. "Hi! I'm Ava!" She told the girl before turning and yelling. "Whooooo! Sapphire! Yeaaaahhh!" She planned on cheering for the girl the whole game if she played, but made sure to make a show of her support now in case she couldn't later.
 
Until Kimmy left, Soonkyu thought that the family had been more or less evenly split between the two houses, but now as the sole remainder in Slytherin she was feeling more left out than ever. As if to prove her point, the fourth year turned up to the stands only to see her sisters already there. A frown on her face, she probably suspected Isaac would be around too soon and they'd all be off enjoying their time together without her. Blanking them completely, not wanting to get involved with any more family drama, she pushed her way across to the other side, before moving up to the railing to whistle down at the players. "GO SLYTHERIN!" She yelled, not hiding the fact that she clearly wanted them to win. They had a new seeker, so what? So did Ravenclaw. She'd never heard of the Ravenclaw one though and she had more faith that any little kid who could handle herself in a school corridor was more than capable of handling herself with the snitch.
​
 
Elio hoped that one day he'd be able to get over his own fear of heights enough to make it beyond his flying lessons, but for now the Gryffindor was content with watching others risk their lives for a game. Although he wasn't close enough to the edge to look over the side and down at the floor as the game was preparing, he distracted himself from the depth below by looking up and admiring the pitch itself. Taking a seat by herself, he nervously waited to see the outcome of the game, and whether anyone really did get hit by those bludgers.
​
 
Abian had enjoyed flying lessons so far, so he had been very interested to hear there was a sport played in the air while flying around. In his opinion 'Quidditch' was kind of a bad name for it, but that didn't dampen his excitement for the match. He followed the stream of students to the stands, looking around for any familiar faces. The Hufflepuff hadn't bothered to read up on the rules of the game beforehand, so whatever was going to happen would be a surprise to [him. He was delighted to spot Elio and happily headed to his side."Hey, you're into this whole thing too then?" He asked him, gesturing to the field. "It sure seems popular." Abian wondered if he would enjoy it, but the excitement around him was a little infectious. He watched with interest as the game began and people took to the sky. One of the girls on the Snake-house team (Slither...something) had a bat in her hand and she used it to hit a fast, heavy looking ball in the direction of another girl. Abian winced as he watched it hit her, leaning back in his seat as if worried the ball would come for him next. "WHOA. Is that allowed?!" He asked Elio, his eyes wide in alarm.
 
Happy for the crowd of people around him, though he didn't know most of them, Jacob watched as Jacob Two had control of the quaffle. "Come on, J Two. Come on" he muttered, standing as he took his shot, ready to cheer. But he missed and Jacob dropped back into his seat, pushing his glasses up as Slytherin took control again. He could see Diana some distance away and wrinkled his nose in disgust. He definitely wanted Ravenclaw to win and sent a silent apology to Sapphire and Zennon.
 
Onyx leaned forward as Finley neared the hoops. He had no real reason to cheer for the boy other than the fact that Kira was. He cursed softly under his breath as the boy missed and leaned back in his seat, noting that Jacob did the same. He nudged the Gryffindor playfully. "So which team are you rooting for today?" He asked, smiling widely.
 
Olive didn't want to be too obvious about supporting one team in particular, and kept telling herself she was just her for Leda. As the came began though it seemed to be much more violent than the last and the potions professor felt a little bad for the blue keeper. Just when she thought her sister was doing well too, she noticed one of the boys knock the ball into her. Olive grimanched, knowing what that felt like."Come on, you've got this," she muttered to herself, hoping she could pull herself back into the game after that.

Veronica had been highly excited for the first Quidditch game of the year today, and she had actually brought a little blue flag down to the pitch with her today, as well as painting some blue and bronze streaks across her cheeks. The match was well underway by now, and Veronica had been on the edge of her seat the entire time - her dormmate Elly had been hit with a bludger right at the beginning of the match, and then once again by the same horrid beater. It was hardly a consolation that the Slytherin seeker was almost out of the match as well. Veronica was at least thankful that Ravenclaw had managed to score throughout all of this, and as she turned her attention to her team's new seeker she desperately hoped the older girl could pull off the win for them. She might be new to playing in games, but Veronica was sure she still had more experience than the awfully young looking Slytherin seeker. Her heart went out to the girl, who was likely in pain, but Veronica still couldn't deny herself the wish to blatantly support her own team. "Go Ravenclaw!" she called, although probably not loud enough for anyone on the pitch to hear her.
 
April was very excited about this match. For the very first time, October would be playing a match as seeker. April had already played a few matches herself, so she knew exactly how her stepsister was feeling right now. Normally, April only really supported her own team, but right now she was wearing all blue, her face covered in blue paint too. She had a made a sign that read 'Go October!" which she waved around during the match. April watched intently at what happened on the field. It surprised her that the Ravenclaw keeper was hit twice by bludgers while October remained unharmed. The Slytherin seeker wasn't so lucky, and April grimaced in sympathy. She knew how that felt. But when October managed to get the snitch, April lost it. "YES!! GO OCTOBER!" She yelled, trying to yell loud enough for the other girl to hear. Jumping up and down, she looked over at her dad beside her. "Dad! We have to celebrate with her! She WON!"
