Mike had made his way to the Quidditch Pitch, his side not hurting as much as it did when he woke up in the morning, but still it was heavily bandaged so not to cause more damage to it. He had a thought and made his way down towards the Gryffindor Rooms, he just wanted to wish them luck, and seen as though Hufflepuff had lost to Ravenclaw, he saw Gryffindor as the only other team that had a chance against them, but first they had to get past Slytherin.
He pushed the door open and smiled before walking in, there were only 3 of them there at that stage but what the hey.
"Hey guys, just thought i'd come down and wish you luck today"
He said looking at each of them, before turning to Britt, which cause him to wince, the pain in his side was evidently still there.
"You feeling better Britt?"
He asked still concerned for the girl after 'that' incident only nights ago.

Brittany pushed her self up and off of the bench as Corey walked in. She had raised a hand of acknowledgement to Anna as she arrived, but felt no need to get up yet. It was the announcement that the boy made, that pushed her to move her self. Reaching back under the bench, she pulled out a pair of worn brown chaser gloves. Sliding them over her tanned hands, she looked up to her team. No. This was not her team. There were a total of three of them. That ticked her off, just slightly of course.
"Where in the bloody hell is everybody?" Brittany grumbled to no body inparticular. There was more than half the team missing and no alternates were in sight at all. They couldn't forfeit the game....no she couldn't think of that. Not yet. Standing up, she began to pace the room and ran a hand through her hair. Both nervous habits that had developed over the years. Taking a deep breath, she stared hard at the door as if that would make the team come faster.
When someone walked in, she stumbled back and almost tripped over the bench. Luckily, gravity was nice today and allowed her to catch her balance. Looking up into Mike's face she noticed his wince. Curiously, she furrowed her brow and questioned, "I think I should ask you the same question."

"Alright, alright, everyone. Have no fear, Alhana Starbreeze is here. And here to bash some heads." said girl announced aggressively upon kicking the door to the locker rooms open and coming to stand several feet inside.
A wide grin stuck on her faze looked about to stay there before her expression changed to that of an ever hungry Alhana. She bit into the half-eaten peach in her hands that she had started on her way down from breakfast. Nice, full meal for at least one of the members. Alhana didn't see a point in barely eating before a game. She was hungry every two and a half hours on the dot anyway so there was no reason to change her eating habits for a jittery stomach that wasn't even present.
Alhana stretched out her back in an arch, swung her bat at nothing in particular and continued to stroll further into a room that she hadn't stepped foot in for ages. She used to fill the position as Beater and for some reason had simply stopped. But Garland was running short on members as the rest had disappeared and she was more than willing to join at her fellow Housemate's desperate plea for help.

Mike smiled at her as she expressed her concern for him, he might as well tell her, well he would of told her anyway....considering he was already keeping something from her, that he would tell her when the time was right.
"Ivy and I were messing round near the lake and she pushed me off a boulder into the water, well there was enough rocks there to break my fall and a couple of ribs"
He said with a slight laugh, the more he thought about it the more he found it funny how easily it had happened

Matty walked down to the pitch, just wanting to watch the game and pick up a few things as she watched. As she found herself at the Hufflepuff stands, she made her way up to where one of her Hufflepuff team mates were sitting. Walking to the row infrount of her she said "Hey" not wanting to take up a seat that she may be saving for someone. "Who do you reckon will win?" asking to make conversation once she had sat down and turned around. Matty did not really mind who won the game, she just came down to kill some time.

His first quidditch game in he didn't know how long. He knew he had to do something good for Gryffindor. And him being the new seeker and all made him feel special for some reason. He then walked in the locker room and saw everybody, "Sorry I'm late," he said to them. He looked around, and he wasn't feeling that well. Maybe he was nervous, but he didn't feel like it. Though, that didn't even make sense.
He popped his fingers and peeked his head out a bit at the field. He saw a large amount of crowd, "Oh crud," he said. It's been a long time since he was playing a game infront of a large crowd. He then poke his head back into the locker room. "Well, we got everyone here, right?" he asked the team. He wasn't really looking to see who was here, all he was thinking of what was going to be the result of the game?

Anna was happy that Corey and Alhana showed up in the locker room. Now they had a keeper and another beater. Now that Alhana was here, Anna couldn't wait to cause some damage. Excitement took over Anna as she couldn't wait for the game to start. It was Gryffindor's first game of the year and she was ready to smack a few bludgers at the snakes. "Alhana is here! We are saved!" Anna said sarcastically. Now all they needed were the other chasers and the seeker, meaning Tristan.
Playing around with her bat, Anna heard someone else come into the locker room. "Tristan, you made it!" she said. "Most of the team is here now. We just have to wait for a few more people.

Jynx walked out of the castle making his way over to the Quidditch pitch. He didn't really have a preference on what team won the match just as long as it proved to be a good game. Making his way down to the pitch he looked up to see a lot of students already in the stands. He decided that he would see who was here from his house so he continued over to the Hufflepuff side of the stadium. As he approached the Hufflepuff part of the stadium he recognized two Hufflepuffs that were already there. Still walking over to where they were sittind he said, "Hi Matty, hi Talia."

Beni finally arrived at the bleachers, but just as she was going in there, she made a detour for the Gryffindor locker rooms. On her way there, she had done some warm-ups (her mums had told her that it was very benificial) and excercised her jaw. "LA-YA-RA-LA-YA-RA...Whether the weather is cold, or whether the weather is hot, we'll be together whatever the weather, whether we like it or not... She sells seashells by the seashore..."
Looking in, she grinned at the occupants. "My lions! How are you, my darlings?"

Ash walked down to the stadium, a hot mug of x!;}$%^ in her hands. She looked around herself, wondering if she absolutely had to sit with the other Ravenclaws. They were a bit boring, none of them ever spoke to her, all they did was study or something boring like that... although Ash shouldn't be thinking that, since most of her time is spent on school work. She sighed, and decided to take the risk and sit on the Slytherin side of the stadium. She had gotten on the good side of most of the professors anyway, the worst that could happen was having a few points docked, although that didn't matter, Ravenclaw had too many points already, it wasn't as if anyone would notice if a few were missing.
She sat down, sighing again, and took a sip of her x!;}$%^.
(( I couldn't decide what I should have her drink xD))

He then opened his locker. "Hmm," he said. He had a lot of his uniform on just not his gloves, shoes, and pads. He then turned back to the team. Seeing them what they would say to him. He then turned his face back to the locker. He then sat at a bench. Scratching his head trying to think. He then grabbed his gloves and starting to put them on.
Seeker, was probably a hard job, but the seeker was a littledude. But that means nothing. He then gripped on his Firebolt that he got from his grandfather before he died. "Rest in Peace, old man," he said muttering to himself.

Chase made her way to the locker room, almost dancing in happiness. She was so excited, even though she was a alternate, she was ready for this game no doubt. Of course, she wasn't imagining all the bad things that might happen, for instance, falling off your broom if you get hit by a bludger, or getting hit by a bludger...period. She smiled to the rest of the team, "Nice day, isn't it?" She said, and twirled off, not waiting for an answer.
They probably wouldn't need an alternate in this game, Slytherin didn't seem like much of a threat although... they did have that gorgeous seeker... That was the only thing she was worried about. If she was put into the game, she might be ...distracted.

Brittany's instinct reaction in hearing what happened was an eye roll. She remembered the overly-into-herself Hufflepuff from DADA class. She found the girl rather annoying but shrugged off the bad feeling she got about her. After what had happened the other night in the Hospital Wing she felt a bit uncomfortable to stand around Mike. So she was thankful when everyone started to fall in.
They all just poured in. Wow. That was pretty good. The second that she started to get nervous and almost started panicing they appeared. That was a good thing. She noted that they were missing only Keagan, Cameron, and Rael. In her mind, she confirmed that Alhana would fill in for Rael in her usual beater spot and if Cameron didn't show then she would put Chase in for her. But if Keagan didn't show up, she wasn't exactly sure what she would do. Probably be murdered out on the pitch by the Slytherin team chasers. She had to admit that without her Co-captain she was helpless.
She was especially glad that Chase had showed her face in the locker room and made note to thank her for showing. It had to take a good bit of courage to show your face in there being the only firstie on the team. "Thanks for the wishing. Root for us....I need it..." Brittany told Mike before turning her attention to her team. They just needed one more person and everything would be set for them to head out to the pitch.

Esmerelda had eaten her breakfast in silence, not rushing around like everyone else. The excited buzzing from all of the tables could hurt a person's ears, but she was used to it after six years of listening to it. She had finished her breakfast and then made her way down to the Quidditch pitch after grabbing a light jacket from the Common Room. The day was gorgeous even though it was October, perfect weather for a Quidditch game. She watched as groups of friends rushed by her, giggling excitedly and gossiping about who they think is the cutest Quidditch player on each team. Then there were the people by themselves, but still they rushed.
She didn't know what all of this rushing was about because she wasn't rushing and she made it to the Quidditch pitch in plenty of time and even got a good seat. It had a good view of the whole field. A person she didn't know sat on one side but no one sat on the other. She saw people of all houses and although not the athletic site, she was actually kind of excited for this game. She looked around and saw students from all houses. Then she wondered who would sit on the other side of her and if they would be annoying. She sure hoped not. Es couldn't resist bringing her sketch pad to doodle on before the game started. So focusing out the world, she started to draw.

Just as Brittany thought of the necessity of their last player...the Gryffindor teams Co-Captain finally decided to show herself. 'Twas actually more of a habit, Keagan's running late, than a choice, and this day it was caused by her over-active appetite. As Britt had rushed through her meal, after Keag had forced her to eat some toast, at least, Keag had meandered through hers, and, having become so engrossed in the feeding of her stomach, she had drowned out the frenzy of the rest of the Great Hall and, for the moment, had forgotten about the game. Perhaps it was better that way; it kept her from becoming sick to her stomach.
The race down to the pitch had helped her keep her mind off the impending game as well. It wasn't until she was well within the walls of the locker room that her own sense of panic attacked. At such a point, it was too late to turn tail and hide, not that the sixth year would ever dream of doing such. The time had come...
"Hey guys," Keag greeted sheepishly, going directly to her locker to avoid her embarassment at being the last necessary part of the team to arrive. In contrast to some of her teammates, Keag had already put on the smaller parts of her uniform and had yet only to slip on her robes, which she was currently digging out.
