"Hey, you," she said, setting herself down next to Parvati. "You here by yourself?"

"Not any more," she said, giving Lavender a one-armed hug. "But I spent a bit of time earlier with Dean. He'll be racing soon, I think."

She looked over to where the bonnets and scarves and things were put up, mouth hanging open slightly as she saw a wizard strip off and offer up his shirt. "Oh my."

She heard Lavender's intake of breath and turned to follow her gaze. Eyes widening, she said,"Amost makes you want to grab a broomstick, doesn't it?"

She bit her lip, not having expected anyone to strip off. "I'd rather cheer for Ron," she said firmly.

She grinned at Lavender's fierce loyalty. "Well, I did say 'almost', didn't I? Anyway, it makes the waiting for the race to start more enjoyable, and better him than Hagrid, eh?"
She sighed, leaning back on her arms and lifting her face up to the sunlight. "Feels great to be out like this, doesn't it? Sunlight doesn't feel quite the same when you're running."

She paused, then looked at Parvati. "So who d'you think'll finish first out of our two?" she asked curiously. "Ron or Dean?"

"Don't know," she said in response to Lavender's question. "Ron's strengths lie in his arms, right, with the guarding? Dean was a chaser, so he's fast, but Ron's got that competitive streak and Dean's fairly laid back, so you have to take personality into consideration. Of course, I'd put my money on Dean any day. Just because he's mine and can do no wrong in my eyes."

"You're on," she said, crossing her fingers and wondering if a badly off-key round of 'Weasley is our King' would slow Ron down.

She pouted, trying not to giggle. "My boyfriend is so going to beat your boyfriend."

"You wish," she said, winking.
"Oh, look," she added, spotting Padma out of the corner of her eye and trying to get her attention. "Padma's here."
Reply
"Hello, you two." She grinned and hugged her sister before hugging Lavender. "How are you today?"

She grinned at Padma. "Hi, Padma! You look amazing today."
