Closed Under the Stars

[Nikko Blackwood]

[Open for all members of the Gryffindor Quidditch team! If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a message!]

Nikko wasn't sure when he had gotten the idea but he was glad he did, and also glad to have Isaiah's help setting it all up. They had already celebrated their win against Ravenclaw but he still felt the need to do something more. He wanted to do something to show the team he appreciated all their hard work and while he had only been captain for a year he was excited to see what they would do next, especially with Isaiah leading them. And maybe he was just a little nervous about his exams and graduating and wanted the distraction.

The quidditch pitch wasn't the most conventional place to camp out but he thought it was appropriate and thankfully it wasn't too cold yet but a charmed campfire at the center took care of any chill in the air. There were sleeping bags set up as well as snacks, most Nikko had made himself. Above them hovered lights that gave the pitch a nice and cozy glow. He grinned when he saw the team approaching and he waved them over. "Over here!" he called out. "Help yourselves to the snacks and if anyone knows any ghost stories this is probably a good time." he laughed.

 

[Isaiah Thompson]

Isaiah had been thrilled when Nikko had reached out to him after coming up with a team bonding idea. And a good one at that too. He liked to believe that him bringing up the matter in one of their chats before had something to do with it but he also didn't want to take too much credit. That didn't mean he hadn't happily offered to help set it up though. Even more so since it felt like this was also somewhat Nikko's way of saying goodbye to the team and he couldn't just let that slide. Especially not when the captain had decided that he was the one who would be taking over the lead. Something he would likely never shut up about ever again. Zay had taken the liberty of already getting himself some of the snacks Nikko had made and sat down near the campfire as he waited for the others to gather around.

 

[Elara Chatelain]

Elara was feeling kind of iffy about quidditch, but after her surprising win against Indira, she felt a pep appear back in her step. OWLs had been stressful, and as long as the grades came back decent, she had her Heta job, anothe championship under her belt, and Zay. As she made her way down to the pitch with a pretty large sweater, she had brought a couple blankets for friends. The weather had been getting quite a bit cooler, and she was going to live her life on the team as an alternate, it was the least she could do contribute. One she found her way down, she waved to Nikko and then sat beside Isaiah, giving him a quick peck on the cheek. "This was a really great idea, Nikko," she said.

 

[Soren Gates]

Soren had been thrilled with the idea of a sleepover for the team. He hurried down in his pajamas, claiming a sleeping bag and falling onto it with a wide smile. "Hey guys!" He greeted them with a bright smile. "How is everyone?" He asked, looking around to see who all was there so far and pouting when he didn't see Aurora. He laid out his stuff over two nearby sleeping bags- she'd probably bring Rosie, he was sure, the thought making him feel bad for a second that they wouldn't bring Xinyi too- but the thought quickly faded and he settled back down, smiling brightly.
