Nearing the Quidditch Pitch stands, Skylar's heart sped up in excitement. She loved watching Quidditch games, and the previous one where Slytherin had won had been really exciting, so she hoped this one would be too! Besides, Gryffindor was actually playing this game, which was all the more reason for her to come! Taking a seat near the front of the stands, Skylar waited for the game to begin, occasionally yelling out shouts of encouragement to the players gathered on the pitch in front of her.

Not long after, the Quidditch Ref declared "GAME ON" and the game started! Skylar eagerly watched as a Gryffindor Chaser grabbed the Quaffle first, and headed off towards the South Hoops, but unfortunately didn't end up scoring after passing to another chaser. The game continued on, with the Beaters hitting the Bludgers, the chasers passing the Quaffle and the keepers doing a remarkable job guarding the hoops, when suddenly the snitch was caught by the Gryffindor seeker! It happened so quickly Skylar almost missed it, seeing as there was no chase for it like during the last game. "YES GO GRYFFINDOR!!!!!!" she screamed, ecstatic that her house had won. She waited around for a few more minutes, still excitedly screaming congratulations to the Gryffindor team before heading back to the castle, eager to tell her friends all about the match, and on the way there she couldn't help thinking that it'd be amazing to be able to get onto the Quidditch team some time in the future.
 
Adorah hadn't been to a Quidditch game since the last time she attended with Elliot, but since he was now playing, she figured she'd come support her friend and her house. Cheering for Hufflepuff meant betraying her own house, but she also wasn't big into the whole 'house pride' thing. She made sure to wear some blue and scooted her way across the stands with a bottle of butterbeer and bag full of snacks. She took a seat and placed her bag down beside her to save a spot for Samantha. She understood Quidditch just enough to get by but hoped Samanatha could answer specific questions that might arise.

Aonghas liked coming to the games, even if he would've preferred to play. He was hopeful that the team would win the game. He walked onto the stands and looked around, trying to spot a sign of his sister so he would know where to not sit, but he couldn't spot her, so he just stuck to the hufflepuff stands and just looked out over the game, they were just getting started and Aonghas hoped that at least it would be a good game. Nothing too short. ​
 
Padme had taken to coming to the quidditch games, it was something else that she could do with her time and something that she enjoyed. She had signed up again for duelling, but she could take a break from revising and spell casting to enjoy the game. Padme took a seat in the stands and waited for things to get kicked off, sure that it would be a good and fun game to watch. Hopeful too of a hufflepuff victory.​
 
Daintree didn't usually come to the other games, well, he sometimes came along but because he was in some of the games, he didn't maybe come to as many as he could. The boy was keen however to pay more attention to quidditch. He wasn't sure what he wanted to do after school, and it seemed with him playing quidditch it would be an easy thing for him to fall back on. He came to the stands and found himself a spot to sit in. He was rather indifferent to who would win and more just eager to watch a good game. He was disappointed when the first shot of the game missed the hoops. ​
 
Jenna always was sit with hufflepuffs and looked the game. She was not with Wendall how was last time. Jenna know she needed move on and forget him. Game was grate and she loved spend time her not coomon room.
 
Lumio arrived at the pitch and went straight to the ravenclaw stands. He had borrowed his brother's ravenclaw jumper and was showing support for him. Though he knew his brother wouldn't be playing he could still show his support for him anyway. He would ravenclaw despite his brother not actually playing for them. he was on the team and that was enough to get Lumio out of the dorm and to where he could enjoy the game. He had come to like watching quidditch - he'd never play - but he liked watching it.​
 
Mazikeen knew she had other things to do with her time. She had so much revision that she already wanted to get started on but she wasn't going to miss a game. Well, she thought it would be good to go along and to spend time doing other things. Studying all of the time was only going to immensely stress her out, so she was at the quidditch game. She sat down in the ravenclaw stands and looked towards the pitch hopeful that this would a good game and a good distraction from what she was supposed to be doing.​
 
Lucas was still a little bitter about not making the team at the start of the year, but that wasn't going to keep him from watching the game. He made his way to the stands, finding a seat next to Lumio after spotting him. He grinned at him, poking him playfully in the side. "Since when are you for Ravenclaw?" He asked him lightly. "Oh! Hufflepuff has the quaffle!" He said then, looking at the game that had just started. Unfortunately, the shot was blocked by the keeper, and Lucas sighed. "Guess that's why you're rooting for Ravenclaw."

Keeping an eye out for Freya, Kas skirted his way through the stands, doing his best to watch the match as it started while still managing to not step in someone's butterbeer. He spotted Lucas nearby, but decided to join someone in his our year for once, dropping down next to Jenna and shading his eyes with his hand to watch Ravenclaw block their first shot. "Wish it wasn't so damn hot today," He lamented.

Tilly arrived at the stands decked out in black and yellow. She sat down on the bench with a group of other first years. “GO HUFFLEPUFF!” Tilly shouted, straining her voice and waving her scarf in the air. She didn’t know the members of the house team very well, as they were all much older than her, but she was trying to learn. She whooped and hollered when one of the chasers attempted to score a goal on Ravenclaw, but then the Quaffle was blocked. She booed and sunk into her seat, hoping this wouldn’t be like the game against Slytherin last term.
 
"Hey, Kas!" Jenna smiled him and she was not see him so long time. "Summers always is hot" She smiled him.

@Kasim Safir
 
Kas gave Jenna a skeptical look, but he couldn't argue with her logic so he shrugged. "Oh look, Connor's actually playing today," He said, pointing at their classmate. "C'mon Connor, hit someone!" He yelled into his cupped hands. Kas knew Connor was no slouch with athletics, despite his ability to cry over pretty much everything, but he'd always wondered how Eric would be with a beater's bat too.

After their loss last semester, Sawyer was hopeful Ravenclaw might be able to make a good come back. He'd managed to get his hands on a Ravenclaw pennant, taking a seat with a few other first years in the stands and waving it as the game got started. He couldn't help but grin at a nearby Hufflepuff girl who was clearly very invested in the game, deciding to cheer loudly as she boo'd the Ravenclaw keeper in retaliation. @Tilly Drage
 
Lydia loved flying and adored her broomstick, but she lacked the Quidditch obsession that so many of her family fell into. That said, she found herself in the Ravenclaw section of the stands, sitting as high up as she could in a back corner. She felt it was important as a new professor to be visible at school activities.

Instead of house colors, Lydia wore her silver robes. The witch had no special affinity for Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw, since she was an Ilvermorny graduate through-and-through. However, she thought sitting in for Ravenclaw would be a way to honor her mother.

Then the Ravenclaw keeper blocked the Quaffle from an attempt by a Hufflepuff chaser. “Good save!” Lydia shouted. The enthusiasm had come out of nowhere.
 
Lumio glanced up at the voice and smiled gleefully, "Lucas!" he greeted loudly before laughing, "My brother's a ravenclaw, he's one of the alternates, Ajaccio," he motioned to the only boy sat on the ravenclaw benches. He watched as the hufflepuffs got possession first nodding along with what the boy said, and then having a moment of relief when the ravenclaws didn't score. "Wow, that was close!" He knew his hufflepuff friend was likely supporting his house team, but that didn't stop him asking, "Are you secretly hoping for a ravenclaw win?" @Lucas Fletcher ​
 
Today Hilda was forcing her out of her room to go see the quidditch game, it was the first she was going to attend. When she arrived in the stands it seemed that Ravenclaw had managed to catch the quaffle.
The Gryffindor sat down in a quiet corner where she could observe the progress, at the same time she was looking for if one of her friends had come to see the game too.
Then re-focused on what was happening on the Pitch, the girl was not for any team in particular, Hilda just liked the atmosphere of Hogwarts events because there was always this feeling of cohesion between people.
 
Even though she wasn’t specifically cheering for either of the teams Chloë still happily attended the game. It was quidditch after all and even though she now got to play the sport herself she still enjoyed watching the matches the other teams played. At the beginning of the year it had been to see how the other teams did, now she just came to enjoy the match. The gryffindor quickly found herself a seat on the stands and focussed her attention on the pitch, curious as to how the game would develop.
 
Sawyer couldn't help but get to his feet as he saw their seeker seem to spot the snitch. He cheered, the Hufflepuff team in no position to stop her and she was able to grab it. It was a short game, but Sawyer still waved his pennant happily.
 
“BOLLOCKS!” Tilly shouted as she jumped from her seat. She knew it wasn’t a polite word, especially coming from a first-year girl, but Tilly had never given much stock to social conventions. Feeling defeated, she gave the Ravenclaw boy who’d cheered against Hufflepuff the side-eye. This was not a good year for Hufflepuff. Tilly wondered if they would ever be able to recover. @Sawyer Carnahan
 
Blake had a totally legitimate reason to be here. It was natural, as a captain, to come and check out the competition. Sure, they wouldn't be playing Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff any time this year, but it was always a good idea to get a sneak peek for next year. Blake wasn't watching either of the seekers though. Sitting towards the back of the stands so no one could see him, Blake couldn't help his eyes drifting towards the Ravenclaw goalposts, watching as Lars guarded the hoops. He suppressed the instinct to cheer when he blocked a shot, keeping his gaze stern. Nobody could know what he was doing here. The match was over shockingly quickly, and Blake was... kind of happy he hadn't needed to face Ravenclaw at all this year. With the game over he got up and slipped away quickly, not wanting anyone to see he had been here.
 
The match for the Quidditch cup was an exciting one, and while Lars was sad Ravenclaw had come in third, he was also glad in a way that he wouldn't have to play in it. He was nervous simply watching, the anticipation and expectations almost palpable in the air. He wondered how the captains of the teams were faring, though he supposed Slytherin was feeling somewhat confident, as they had won the Quidditch cup so many years in a row that Lars couldn't remember which house had won it before them. He wasn't really rooting for either house, which would dismay Emma if she knew. He watched the small redheaded figure that was his sister on the pitch, but then his gaze moved over to the Slytherin side. He wondered how Blake was feeling right now, would he be nervous? He never seemed nervous or uncertain, but to Lars it was unimaginable not to be nervous in that position. He wished he could get a glimpse into his head, which was something he'd never thought he'd wish for.
 
Minnie was of course going to go to the final quidditch game of the Hogwarts season. There was sure to be another game against a foreign team, but that mattered way less than this. Than this final game. She was admittedly rooting for Gryffindor - with her boyfriend being on the team she felt like she had to - but she knew that come next semester both teams would see some changes and it was never too early to be thinking about the next step. The ravenclaw walked on to the stands with a note book and ever lasting quill in hand and glanced about. She spotted Lars and hesitated for a moment, maybe he was busy...wouldn't want to speak to her...but she pushed that away and walked over to him, "Hey Lars, mind if I sit?" she asked with a polite and friendly tone. ​
