In the stands

[pb_felipe]

Felipe stood and cheered as the snitch was released and finally the Quaffle. "Go United!" He wasn't the only one cheering the section he sat in. Finally sitting, he eyes were glued to the game.

"This is going be a great game."

Mafalda left the office later than normal; her lunch appointment went later than she had planned. Felipe insisted that she attend the night's game in order to spend more time with that girl.

Climbing to the seats Felipe picked out, she called. "Felipe, darling. How are you?"

He turned at his mother's voice and again he stood. He hugged her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I'm well. I'm surprise they let you out of the office." he teased.

Leanne, as per instruction from Felipe, graciously greeted his mother and hoped for the best. Though she knew Katie was off with her friends cheering on their former Gryffindor friends, Leanne was trying to impress Felipe's mother, so she decided to cheer for Oliver loudly as she could when he came on the pitch and stick to polite conversation and Quidditch for now. She hoped that his mother could see their shared interests and mutual respect and love now that they were in a more informal setting. At least this time Leanne hadn't had to wear a gown.

Post game celebration

[pb_rosmerta]

Madam Rosmerta was one of the few wizards and witches not in attendance of the game. Switching on the WWN to listen to the game, Rosie walked around the pub refilling drinks. One bloke asked the score.

"Tied. I'll turn it up for you. Should be a great game." She just turned back when the announcer shouted. "Harpies catch the snitch! Harpies catch the snitch!"

Smiling, "You go girls!"

Athena entered the pub, having been amongst one of the few that hadn't been able to secure tickets to today's match. She didn't mind though, Rosie's was as good a place as any to catch the match and get good drinks and food.

"Who's winning Rosie?" Athena called, sitting at the bar, tossing off her coat and cracking her neck in the process.

She was refilling the round she ordered after the win. "Harpies just caught the snitch. Four hour game. tied pretty much the whole time. You want a pint?"

"Yes, please, my beautiful Rosie. Does this mean there are heartbroken Quidditch players I can round up for you?"

[pb_alicia]

Alicia slipped into the bar, smiling, She was glad the Harpies had won, they were all gorgeous women, after all. Part of her hoped Gwen would show up, the other part, hoping to see George. She could never get herself enough George Weasley. Besides, she needed to find a gorgeous woman to send in his direction.

"What say you to a drink, Al?" Katie asked, nudging her friend with an elbow. "My treat!"

[pb_alicia]

"Well, in that case, I'm having a Tequilla shot." Alicia said with a smile, throwing her arm around Katie. "But you need to have one too. Real drinks, my dear."

[pb_katie]

"You're on," Katie said with a glint in her eye.

"Tequila for me and my friend," Katie ordered at the bar. "We're celebrating."

Grinning, Katie whispered into Alicia's ear. "So... tell me more about this Gwenog Jones."

[pb_harry]

Harry followed the crowd to the Three Broomsticks for a celebration, hoping he'd get the chance to chat with some of his former classmates and, especially, to catch up with Ginny. He walked to the bar and ordered himself a Butterbeer.

[pb_ron]

Ron was right behind Harry, weaving through the crowd to keep up with his mate, "That game was amazing! She was brilliant! I always knew she had it in her, didn't you, Harry?" Ron chatted to Harry as he followed him into the bar. He slid into a seat next to Harry, and waved a hand, for a Butterbeer for himself as well, "I mean, there was that one dodge. I was sure they'd score a point for it, but then it got blocked, so neatly."

Ron shook his head in some amazement, "It was brilliant! All of it. Man, I'm so jealous! What a sport!" and he paused, only long enough to take a drink from his bottle, "Let's forget the auror business. We should be playing Quidditch, Harry!"

[pb_harry]

"Ginny was... fantastic. I mean, I can't believe she caught the snitch, can you?!! That was fabulous. Her first game out? Where is she, anyway?" he asked, looking around. They'd obviously lost her in the growing crowd. He wasn't surprised. She was a superstar now... he'd be lucky to even get a chance to congratulate her at this rate.

Percy and Cho made it to the Three Broomsticks a little late, enjoying making their way back, and debating the game practically play-by-play. Like everything, Percy took even his guilty pleasures seriously.
"--You try having to root for your best mate and your sister at the same time!" Percy said emphatically, catching another shock of red hair in the crowd, near the bar.

"Oi, Ron, need you to settle something." He winked at Cho as they made their way over to where he stood with Harry. "On a purely technical level, who do you think played a better game?" He leaned in to Cho a little, grinning, "No pressure, of course."
