all the hats and scarves in the world couldn’t have prepared alyssa for the biting cold that greeted her upon venturing out of that haven of wonderful warmth otherwise known as the inside. don’t get the wrong impression; it wasn’t that she would prefer to stay in her dorm while everybody she knew was watching the gryffindor/slytherin showdown — she wasn’t a ravenclaw and her idea of a good time definitely didn’t include studying — it was simply that the blonde didn’t cope well with cold, and she didn’t much fancy the concept of shivering like mad while she stood around and waited for one of the seekers to just catch the damn snitch already. now, the story would be different if it was her up there scoring goals; adrenaline had a way of chasing away the miserableness she would otherwise feel in such temperatures. but nowhere in this match was hufflepuff involved, and so al was stuck watching a game that not only had nothing to interest her personally, but was taking place in her least favorite weather. honestly, if it weren’t for her best friend serenity suggesting that she come, there might actually be a chance that al would still be in the school, holed up somewhere cozy and sipping hot chocolate. that was one of the benefits of being a hufflepuff; the location of the entrance to their common room meant a convenient proximity to the kitchens, provided that you knew what to do to the painting under the great hall. the fact that she did was what made it possible for her to be having this fantasy in the first place. it definitely took her mind off of what she was currently doing— shuffling after serenity as the other girl scouted out a few seats for them.
xoxoalyssa cast a sideways glance at annabel, who had accompanied them both. something in her had a deep-rooted mistrust of slytherins and she couldn’t say that she held many amiable feelings toward the brunette, but neither did she get on al’s nerves. so there was that, and there was also the part about her not knowing annabel well at all. but if serenity liked her, then there was no reason for alyssa not to give her a chance as well.
xoxoshe was thinking of something she could say to initiate a potential bonding experience when a casual movement of her eyes toward serenity up ahead came just in time for her to witness the other hufflepuff collide with jinx, the sixth year ravenclaw with a reputation for bad luck and a nickname to match it. the two didn’t like each other — she understood that it had something to do with boy troubles, or so she’d heard — and, not about to let her friend face a rival alone, alyssa picked up the pace. but by the time she got there it looked like things had sorted themselves without her, and so she squeezed past the trio of ravenclaws without a confrontational word.
xoxo“sorry, it’s too cold for me to function, much less do anything like be able to see,” she said as she took her place at the spot that serenity had found for them, barely casting a glance at the scoreboard. rubbing her arms in a futile attempt to gain some warmth, she instead ended up settling for pulling her hat down around her ears to conserve heat and giving herself an appearance rather comparable to that of a turtle retreating into its shell. at the shrill screech of the ref’s whistle, however, she winced, ears ringing. “on the bright side, it looks like I can still hear pretty well. hey, something’s going on.” al scanned the sky, counting seven players in red and seven in green. nothing seemed amiss, which made it all the more curious. “none of the players are hurt, there’s no reason for the ref to call a break.” she craned her neck along with the rest of the crowd, searching for the possible cause of the disruption and tugging at serenity’s arm when she pinpointed it. “look, down there—” she pointed. “the professor’s saying something. it looks urgent, do you think something might have happened?”

"where the hell are you..?" the seventeen year old scolded while restlessly scouting the area for his not-so-much-look-a-like twin sister. panic grew inside his chest, rapidly making its way up to the surface. he wasn't the angry type towards people, but this is family. he had to be mad. over the years she's done this to him, tanner's used to it, definitely, although too much of what she was doing to him mad him tick off towards the edge. he even came an hour extra, knowing jennifer. as tanner waited, his eye's shifted to people he knew that passed him. by his surroundings, he's the only person alone, & he was waiting for his twin. a small puzzled look came across his baby face, wondering what was all the commotion about. far away he could catch glimpses of familiar faces, a small smirk played on his lips. but the thought hit him, that he was still alone awaiting for his sister. "i swear jenn where the hell are you?"

well that's just frigging great! the biggest game of the season, gryff-
indor and slytherin neck and neck and they just decide it is the time
to cancel it. well that was just bomb diggity great. the snitch hadn't
been caught yet and by the looks of it neither seekers were even cl-
ose. the score was pretty much tied but if the game was postponed
it will be most likely that the points will be reset. great! just great!
in case they still decided the game to continue, simon took the time
to adjust his left arm guard. he was almost knocked off his broom
thanks to the gryffindor's beater and captain of the quidditch team
who just happened to throw the bludger in his direction. simon was
so caught up in trying to take the quaffle from the opposing chaser.
he was able to get out of the ball's way just in time but it grazed him
on his arm and he was pretty sure that it loosened up his guard.

he was able to get the quaffle from one of gryffindor's chasers and
score a point for his house. the cheers came the same instant and
simon was damn right proud. he tried to ignore the curses which
came from three directions on the stands, but it was not like they
would hurt his ego. he didn't get to relish in the praises from the
crowd before the judge blew the whistle and everyone stopped
their brooms. the spectators stopped with the boos and the yays
and simon knew that most of them got up from their seats to get
a close look.

the ongoing match between grffindor and slytherin has been
unexpectedly postponed until further notice. please return to
your dorms. immediately. it was only then that the catcher
landed on the ground. he was clearly .. agitated to say the least.
they didn't even have the decency to say why they were canceling
the match. and on top of all that, immediately?! what was wrong
with this school. the ministry has left tings get out of their control.
everything was corrupted, no one could possible knew what were
they up to now. probably just the headmaster decided it would be
fun to pull one on the children. or even more certainly, gryffindor
had their say in this. the little kitty cats must have been afraid to
continue a tied game.

you. i bet you did this. it wouldn't be the first time slytherin has
tampered with things like this. what is it? you're not afraid of losing,
are you? it was not in simon's nature to stay low when someone
tried to insult his house or his friends. and zach was well considered
his friend. they were in the same house together and spent quite some
time with each other, and the curly haired slytherin was not about to
allow this provocation to pass. but he did.

mostly because he was in no particular mood to fight over fish bones
with the cats and as much as he was certain that they had their claws
in the situation he was not about to go storming at them in front of
the professors and the majority of the school. luckily he didn't relish
in the impulsiveness his twin sister had. instead of lingering another
moment on the field, simon got of his broom and stormed away to the
locker rooms. he locked off his broom and his other equipment. what
could have possibly gotten the game canceled was beyond the boy,
but he sure couldn't wait much longer to find out.

"what are you doing here?" he asked, his voice thick with irritation
as he spotted his girlfriend of three years, the blond haired hufflepuf. he
knew that they were watching the game with his sister, annabel had told
him that much.

annabel never had the head for sports. it was not like she didn't und-
erstand the mechanics behind it all, but found it too simple to keep her
interest. but still, she never missed a single slytherin match. and not
because of her (infamous) house pride, or because her brother was
captain of the team, and not because blond-haired blue-eyed hottie
kaiden madsen played, even though they were good enough reasons on
their own, annabel enjoyed winning most of all; and she was rarely ever
disappointed. it was even more gratifying watching gryffindor lose,
the houses were practically rivals since the school was first founded.
fact or fiction, stories of salazar and godric's quarrels and bickers
were always more than amusing to hear about.

but to annabel's great misfortune the victory was far from certain. at
least when the three girls finally found their way trough the crowd and
found a place from where they can actually watch the game. they had to
stop to say hello to people here and there, a short conversation with
those the three girls were closer with. some of them annabel liked,
and the others not so much. of course she wouldn't dare let her emotions
reach her expressions, a polite smile and a nod for hello, that was all
they would get from her. but keeping a straight face when someone you
genuinely hate comes out is genuinely difficult. she had hated the living
guts out of jinx since fifth year. before that they were on okay terms,
neither bothered the other. but when they were practicing the simplest
of spells and she almost caught her hair on fire. she was almost certain
it was on purpose and ever since then she had her mind on getting back
at her. while serenity was talking with them annabel was determined to
prolong her steps for as long as it was humanly possible to avoid having
to deal with the freak. annabel was never the best of friends but if she
was she would have known that serenity might have hated the ravenclaw
a bit more than she did herself.

when they finally found three empty seats, the slytherin saw that they
were on the wrong side of the stadium, the pool of green and silver
robes was all across from where they were standing. she was irritated
by the fact and for a moment let her lips curl in a frown. no matter -
she sat down next to the hufflepuff and tried to pay attention to the
game. she had invited serenity, simon's girlfriend to watch the game
together and she expected her to come alone and not with some other
hufflepuff girly with whom she rarely ever exchanged anything. if she
had known that alyssa was going to trail along with them she would
have went with someone from her house. it was not like the girls were
bad company to joke around with, because what good is a hufflepuff if
she isn't loud, but more because they were bad company to be seen with.

annabel was starting to regret the decision on going bold with her house
pride that day. she was wearing a green hat, and her silver and grey
scarf, the emblem embroidered on every single piece of clothing that an
emblem could get embroidered on. right across on the other side slytherin
was going wild, apparently someone scored a point for the serpents, the
boos and curses came more freely here than they did on the other side.
whenever her house played it was three against one in the crowds. most of
the other houses always sided with whoever was playing against them. by
then she wasn't even following any of the many balls flying across the field,
she was more concentrated on pitying herself and her poor choice of people
she decided to associate herself with. she liked serenity but annabel was
always uncomfortable when the two were seen together. she could never
understand why her brother went out with her, he could do better.
[mental note: remind him of that.]

maybe there was one partly good thing that came out of this whole ordeal.
the boyishly handsome zander was sitting a seat away from her and if any-
one ever enjoyed the presence of a cute guy, that would be annabel. but
the two were enemies to some extent, at least until he tried the occasional
move on her. for a ravenclaw the boy was super outgoing, and at times
super annoying, hitting on any girl that he could possibly mistake that will
like him back. it was a delicate situation. "having fun, ravenclaw?" she
spat out her words and leaned to look at him over serenity, a closed smile
curved at the tips of her lips, but it was not quite reaching her eyes. her
blue eyes kept a close watch on him trying to determine on what terms
were they that day.

when the cheers and the boos stopped and instead of those came a wave
of unsatisfaction and protests, annabel craned her neck from her seat to
take a better look at what was going down on the field. for as much as she
knew about quidditch these things didn't just randomly happen. some of
the players had taken the time to rest on the ground, but her brother was
still in the air trying to adjust one of his arm guards. he was impossible to
miss on the field, his curly mop of hair was always loose, he refused to
tie it even during quidditch games, insisting childishly that it made him
look like a girl, because apparently shoulder length hair didn't. annabel
preferred her boys medium trimmed, with a quiff if the face holds.

unlike some other girls, a friendly competition was something lauren always welcomed, and well, what was a greater competition that a quidditch match? for once in her life, she'd found this amusing die hard interest that, even though she didn't actually play at all for the fear of getting hurt, was something she could definitely root for. careful blue eyes wandered across the stands, a single body trailing behind her as she seated herself perfectly at the edge of the stands just before glancing up at her so far quiet accomplice. the boy logan, quiet at most times, never really sharing, was a friend of hers, the two having always quite enjoyed the others company. even though he was from ravenclaw and she from hufflepuff, it never really mattered where you sat in the stands, so long as you didn't mind occasional disagreements in cheering and booing with different house members, however since this time, her own team wasn't playing, it'd only suffice to root for gryffindor, after all there's no way she'd want bloody slytherin to win.
as the gong sounded, signaling another point for slytherin, tying up the game, a soft groan slid past lauren's lips, along with a quick roll of her eyes. poor logan. she thought, knowing that within mere minutes, she'd be sucked into the game, hooting and hollering for gryffindor and booing and shouting any time the other team gained a point. oh well though, the boy had graciously accepted her offer to join in so he'd have to get over it, besides it wasn't like any harm would come to letting loose for a while. with all this learning crap that came with school and wizardry, it was definitely nice to sit back and loose your voice over a deadly match of quidditch. once more her blue eyes flew to the field, trailing along each gryffindor teammate, frowning in almost disgust as the captain called out to a poor girl in the stands. as much as it seemed sincere, it clearly had been an attack. boys will be boys, always picking on girls just because it's easy. with another sigh, lauren returned focus to the game, which seemed to be going pretty well despite the fact that kaiden, the slytherin seeker had caught sight of the snitch.
it seemed like a fair chase, but soon her interest had been lost and was redirected towards logan at last. "who are you rooting for?" she asked softly, ready to counter act any negative choice picked with a long list of reasons why he'd be wrong. really if you ever wanted to disagree with her, it was best you really didn't, she always had enough facts to prove her point, along with always giving herself the satisfactory win in the end. it wasn't that she wasn't a good person, it was mostly that you just never argued with her, period. she'd been about to speak up once more, perhaps to ask about his opinion on the game, but a whistle was blown, turning boos and cheers into something of protests. cocking her head slightly to the side, lauren stood up, glancing down at the field in a questioning sort of way. "no one ever calls for time outs. what do you think is going on?" she remarked in almost an awe filled tone, icy blue gaze meeting the other boys, curiosity seeming to rise in her chest. it definitely wasn't common for either of the two houses playing to call for a time out, which meant something bad happened, something bad enough to deny raging teens the right to scream and yell at the teams.

if you had asked zander what he was doing as a spot of blue in a sea of yellow, you would have gotten a bemused shrug of the shoulders for the singular reason that he didn’t really know. he’d come out for the game and, in the process of scouring the stands for one of his friends, had gotten sidetracked and ended up in this crowd, where he’d found himself unable to make a discreet escape, what with all the hufflepuffs around him cheering and booing in turn. honestly, the boy didn’t care much for quidditch at all; as far as he was concerned, it was a glorified version of football that happened to take place on broomsticks, except for the fact where you couldn’t stay home and watch it comfortably on the telly. the part about there being two rogue bowling balls and a winged walnut flying around was irrelevant, and, in his esteemed opinion, completely unnecessary.
xoxohuffing to himself, the ravenclaw shoved his hands deeper into his pockets and returned his attention to the sky. so far, the two competing houses were tied neck and neck, with neither seeming to be able to pull ahead. at this point, all he could hope for was that one of the seekers caught the snitch soon, if only so he could escape the quidditch pitch and return to a place where he wouldn’t be surrounded be all these hufflepuffs. don’t get me wrong, zander had nothing against the house — it was hard to hate them when most all of them were so bloody nice, and he was fond of a certain few — but it wasn’t exactly classy company that he was keeping here all by himself, and he didn’t know any of the ones in his immediate vicinity.
xoxono wait, scratch that— upon catching a new arrival in his peripheral vision, he turned his head to see none other than serenity adams. he returned her nodded greeting with a quick flash of a grin but, uncharacteristically enough, didn’t say anything obnoxious to her, his attention instead caught by a sudden shout from one of the players: “hey, sophie! sophie norvell!” zander snickered under his breath. he didn’t need to look to see who had said it; it was just like sean to call attention to his ex in the middle of a game. neither did he need to look when a second voice addressed him, but he did anyway, meeting the frosty blue gaze of annabel.
xoxo“why don’t you try referring to me as something more flattering for a change?” he said, feigning offense. “you can call me ‘hottie’. or ‘hunk’. whichever floats your boat. and the honest answer to your question? no, not until you came along.” he smiled right back at her, making an effort to have it appear more sincere than hers. in reality, zander rather detested her twin brother simon, and the only reason he put up with annabel was because she was a girl, and a pretty one at that. oh, and there was also the thing about him having an unfortunate attraction for chicks who didn’t like him; something about all that hatred came across to him as a challenge to annoy/flirt with them even more.
xoxohe was opening his mouth to dig himself an even bigger hole when the whistle shrieked out, drowning out his voice and causing him to lose his train of thought. scanning the air and then the ground, it didn’t take long for him to find the root of the problem; the referee was engaged in an agitated conversation with one of the professors. zander raised his eyebrows, unable to resist sliding in a snarky comment. “looks like the most interesting part of the game just arrived.”

xxx adri had been so pumped to play this game, she hadn't even gotten a wink of sleep last night. though it hadn't really occurred to her that sleep was an important part of a daily, healthy lifestyle, she had practiced and practiced in the field, using an old golden snitch that had lost a wing but still worked pretty well. her eyes sagging a bit, but she knew that it wasn't going to affect her too badly. at least, she hoped it wouldn't. as soon as the game had started, she had put herself in a winning position. just because she was a girl didn't mean that she couldn't play quidditch. zipping through arms and legs, she missed one and was tossed backwords, but she quickly regained herself and shook her head to keep it from spinning, before hurrying towards the snitch. she wanted to win the game, she had to. though some of the students weren't as horrid and cruel as others, the sixth year was determined to still win this game. her main drive in life was winning- which was quite sad, honestly. but for her friends and fellow gryffindors, she would do it.
xxx turning her head slightly as she heard a voice booming from the distance, she faced poppy before letting a smile spread across her face. poppy was a good player, they were all okay on the gryffindor team. cupping her hands over her mouth again, her voice easily spreading across, she answered back. "i dunno. why don't you find out." she teased, but instead quickly made her way over. she was as confused as all of them as to what had happened, but didn't understand why. looking around the crowd of people that had gathered, mostly professors and other teachers that she had seen, she noticed that they all had worried looks on their face, before they made their way inside the building once more. she was surprised, but a few stayed out there anyhow, and looked curiously back at poppy.
xxx adri looked around carefully. there didn't seem to be much damage to this side of the building of hogwarts, but they were a good distance away, so she couldn't tell for sure. her robe flapping behind her, wind blowing in her face, she tried to keep her ponytail from swishing around but it did whatever it pleased. sighing, she looked over at her again carefully, before narrowing her eyes at the teachers, trying to make out what they were saying but failing miserably. "something must be seriously wrong if they stopped a match." her serious ego quickly changed to a more light one in a matter of seconds, before she lightly punched poppy in the shoulder. "either that or one of the slytherin girls broke a nail." she teased slightly, trying to lighten the mood but failing quickly.

xxx logan wasn't really thrilled about coming to the match. honestly, he would have much rather spent his time studying, or reading a book, or even walking in diagon alley alone because of the beautiful weather. but no- lauren had to drag her on to the field. they were good friends, not too close, but close enough that she could hoot and holler next to him and maybe just scream into his ear. he smiled over at her, before focusing on the game. he blinked in surprise when she asked him a question, momentarily praying that he could remember what she'd said, before responding. "i dunno. but since im afraid of you pummeling me, i'd have to say gryffindor." he smiled warmly before he heard the sounds of people murmuring, only to look back at the players suspended in mid game. standing in his seat, he tried to position himself in a way of seeing what was going on, but there was a flurry of people who were also sitting in the towers ravenclaw seat, so he decided to sit anyways.
xxx logan couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt as he watched the players speak amongst themselves. they must have been pretty confused also as to why this had happened. logan turned his head slowly, a solid look on his face before he narrowed his eyes. as she spoke again, this time he had payed attention and nodded softly. "no idea. i don't really come to these games- but if you say it's not normal than it must not be normal. he was lost in his thought for a few moments, trying to collect everything together, but he didn't have much time to think. looking over at lauren, he shrugged gently, running a hand through his thick black hair before his eyes travelled back to the field of players. even the sky was a pale sickly color of blue, like the universe knew this was a serious and dangerous threat to everyone. logan rested his fingertips against the wand that was tucked into his robe pocket- it might come in handy later in case something serious had happened. "it must be something serious, because they look worried." he murmured, pointing to the crowd of teachers that were frantically speaking in hushed voices. he didn't dare to use magic to hear, because even if his curiousness was eating him inside out, he'd just have to wait. to hear like everyone else.

henry watched steven run up and down the stands with an unexaggerated eagerness that mimicked the attitude of the womping willow. with his limbs seeming to flail as he scuttled through the various crowds of students, steven couldn't tear his eyes away from the quidditch field. henry enjoyed steven's company, even if he himself wasn't completely invested in the game. with an amused shake of the head, henry turned his gaze back towards sophie as he heard her snap at her.

"don't worry soph, I was only kidding," henry replied gently. he didn't think too much into her snapping retort-- she was undoubtedly mortified by sean's inappropriate display in front of the entire hogwarts student body. henry felt bad for her. ever since sophie and sean broke up, the tension between the two of them was weird. there didn't seem to be any standoffish tension between them, just uncomfortable air. like neither really knew how to treat the other one. henry wasn't really sure what was going on between them, so he kept his mouth shut about the matter. he didn't want to say anything that just aggravated the whole situation.

he shifted his gaze back to the the game just in time to hear the referee call a time out. a perplexed frown crossed henry's face. while he wasn't a die-hard quidditch fan like steven, he knew that this time out didn't make any sense, to anyone. none of the team members did anything to get carded by the ref, nor did it seem like any of the players got hurt. confused, henry opened his mouth to ask sophie and steven what was going on. however, their confused answers proved that everyone was equally befuddled as henry. as steven complained about missing what happened, henry couldn't help but chuckle. "what? steven missed what happened in quidditch?" he joked, bumping his friend's shoulder teasingly before cracking a smile.

"i can honestly say i have zero clue what is going on," serenity replied to her friends. as alyssa pointed out that the professors were in deep conversation about some deep topic, obviously related to what was going on. the professors kept shifting their gazes from the field, to the students, and then back to each other. one professor pointed towards the school grounds, gesturing wildly about some important matter. serenity tried to make out what they were saying-- she had an uncanny ability to lip-read, another asset of blending into the background. while she was quite far away and couldn't make out every word, a few words popped out to serenity. "they are talking about something dangerous, i think something on school grounds," serenity said, glancing towards alyssa nervously.

while annabel leaned over her to exchange with zander, who flirtatiously joked back, serenity couldn't help but laugh. "hottie, huh?" she laughed, flicking her cerulean eyes between annabel and zander. zander was a shameless flirt who oddly enough only flirted with girls that either hated him or had no intention of giving him the time of day-- annabel being one of them. shifting her weight to stay warm, serenity looked over at alyssa. "well, I hope it was something worthwhile. simon is gonna be pissed off," she murmured.

xxxxxxdakota had almost isolated herself from her friends this morning, the game would be the first time she would see them since the previous evening. it wasn't that she didn't like them- some were like sisters to her, it's just the ever increasing tension between serenity, and how maura was obviously intimidated by her- it was all tiring. but as she made her way towards the stand, her mind was on other things other than her relationships. it was cold. freezing, even. kota, like many other, was wearing her scarf and gloves. she had skipped out on the hat idea, convincing herself she looked like a smurf. although the brunette was all sorts of beautiful, she was amazing at picking out her flaws; slightly pointy ears, annoying freckles on her nose, wrinkles when she smiled... somewhere safe inside her head she had a mental list.

somewhere near the back of the stands she could see her two friends. she had bumped into serenity a little while back, but had only exchanged a brief nod before scurrying away, attempting to avoid any awkwardness delivered by a sudden encounter. she knew she wasn't far behind. the two had been best friends, tied at the hip, for years before they started attending hogwarts. things started getting icy when the girls were put into different houses. dakota had always been a lively, very eager child. even now she talked more than it was good for her. somehow her dry wit and blunt honesty worked well in ravenclaw, and she found herself amongst people she instantly clicked with. of course, she didnt want to just forget about serenity, but it kind of happened anyway. they remained friends, but things were always stiff when they were together.

jinx looked dull, her disinterest in the quidditch match evident from first glance. dakota wasn't especially surprised. perhaps it was partly because people blamed her if something went wrong, because, well, she was maura. just as she was climbing up the stand, the crowd surrounding erupted into a chorus of cheers. gryffindor had scored a point.

dakota slipped in to an empty space next to the two girls. although she felt jinx instantly tense, she pretended to ignore it. it was kind of a shame that they didn't get as well as she did with elle. still, it had been the norm for a long time now. "Hey... maura," she muttered back, attempting a small, friendly smile while shuffling around in her seat to get comfy. the girl considered complimenting her on managing to actually look good in a hat, but elle was already pulling her into a friendly embrace. she greeted her with a warm hug, one which she gladly returned with equal affection. the ravenclaw girl couldn't help but laugh as her friend complained about maura wanting to leave, jabbing at her in a friendly manner. it was probably true. and to be honest, dakota didn't get why quidditch was such a big thing. it wasn't that she didn't enjoy it, sometimes it was nice to just loose yourself in the game...but she could never be as enthusiastic about the sport as elle.

her thoughts were interrupted by serenity. the girl had crashed into jinx, immediately uttering an apology. the hufflepuff's eyes slipped past maura to dakota. she didn't look back, hoping serentiy would think she simply hadn't noticed her. after she had mumbled something about coming together, kota added a small "sorry...but yeah, next time..." to the end of elle's response.

a moment later the brunette's eyes were back on the pitch. something was different; the players were stone still, confusion replacing the competitive scowls across their faces. something was wrong. a high pitched whistle calling for time out only added to the bewilderment. she had taken her her hazel focus from the players for no more than a minute, and had heard no signs- shouting, screaming, booing- that led one to believe there was trouble with the players. no. it was something else. "Hey, what's? going on?" she muttered to elle, attempting to hide the turbulence leaking into her even tone, "did you see anything?" she new her friend watched the matches closer than anyone.

xoxoxoxoclara was not all over the whole idea of quidditch unlike most students at hogwarts. she'd definitely rather be inside reading a book or roaming the halls, discovering parts of the school she'd never knew existed. the only reason she ever went to the matches wasn't to support her house's team, but was the keeper for the opposing team, gryffindor. right at that moment, the moment where she dreamily stared at wyatt parker, she felt like slapping herself. snap out of it, stupid, she thought to herself. she looked around, of course her best friend katarina was nowhere to be seen. wonderful. it felt like she had been sitting here forever, maybe it was time to take a walk.
xoxoxoxoafter seeing annabel talking to some ravenclaws further down the stand, she thought it maybe be a good idea to ask her friend where kat was at. "annabel!" she called, hopefully getting the black-haired girl's attention. "have you seen kat?" clara questioned whilst passing maura [or jinx, she didn't keep up with what people called her these days]. she wasn't sure if she should give her a hello, it would be the polite thing to do, they were best friends for most of her childhood after all. the girl quickly glanced at her again, "hi." she chirped, looking back at anabel waiting for an answer.
xoxoxoxosuddenly the match stopped, the coach had called for a prolonged break. the first thought that rushed through her head was, did someone get hurt? looking down at the field, she searched for any bodies that could be lying motionlessly on the grass. the strange thing was, everything seemed to be order. so what the hell happened? "the ongoing match between grffindor and slytherin has been unexpectedly postponed until further notice. please return to your dorms. immediately." one of the professor's said through the megaphone. from the tone of their voice, clara knew something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on what. as she approached anabel and her ravenclaw friend, clara had a questioning look on her face. "uh, hi. it's zander right?" she greeted the boy. she had a pretty good memory, especially when it came to connecting faces to names, but she wouldn't be surprised if she had gotten this one wrong. she'd seen this person a few times in the halls, talking to him was even rarer. "i'm guessing you haven't seen my best friend kat? tall, blonde, may or may not be causing major trouble somewhere" she joked. it was fairly possible katarina ross was the whole reason they stopped this, the devious and sly slytherin could have done anything. now she could already be in mexico, covering her tracks. that would shock clara, she haden't seen her since breakfast.
