September 23rd, 2017.<br/><strong>Time/Day:</strong>Morning<br/><strong>LOCATION:</strong>Quidditch Pitch<br/><strong>CONTENT:</strong>Arriving<br/><strong>MOOD MUSIC:</strong>Son of Man by Phil Collins (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WcHPFUwd6U)<br/><strong>TAGGING:</strong>Claire, Hikaru - Open<br/><hr/>Claire was right about one thing, students were more than their houses. If there was ever a more obvious example of that fact, then one needed to look no further than the incumbent heir of the Warde family. At least he had been the incumbent heir, once word reached his family of his housing situation whether that title would be revoked was a question that kept up Zacharias at night, it also kept up Nathaniel but that was an entirely different matter. Everything Zacharias was and did was the antithesis of what a Gryffindor was meant to be; he was not a chivalrous man, nor was he that caring, he was more ambitious and intelligent then he would ever be daring. Yet regardless of that mismatch he was in fact stuck in the Gryffindor house, there was no way he was no going back so all he could do was begrudgingly accept it and move on.<br/><br/>Still there was one activity where he’d accept wearing even that blasted emblem if it meant he could play Quidditch. It was the one activity that almost every Warde participated in. In fact the only ward to avoid the sport was his half-blood nephew, Adam; only emphasizing the fact that a true Warde was excellent on the broom and Adam was simply undeserving of his last name. As annoying as it was that he’d be playing for Gryffindor, he’d swallowed that bile down for two reasons; to show off his prestigious skill and more importantly to outclass his cousin. He had paid Nathaniel a visit before arriving at the try-outs, not for tips but rather to get some information on who exactly was left on the Quidditch team. Nathaniel had told him he should try to behave himself, as the new captain was a half-blood. So it seemed that Zacharias would have to once again restrain his urges. Joining the Gryffindor team truly was turning out to be more of a hassle than it was worth.<br/><br/>Zacharias arrived at the Quidditch pitch and quickly located the row of tables for the Gryffindors to sign up. There were two people slightly blocking his path to the tables, and being who he was Zacharias wasn’t going to go out of his way to go around them, especially when they were both at fault for blocking the way. Of course if he’d realized that the woman blocking his path was the captain he might have been slightly more apologetic, or restrained, but he’d paid more attention to the man that Claire had been chatting with, Hikaru. Unlike Claire, Zacharias did know who Hikaru was thanks to the sorting ceremony. He also knew that Hikaru wasn’t a pureblood, so he simply assumed the person he was chatting with was just as impure and unimportant. He purposefully stepped past them both, practically pushing Hikaru slightly towards Claire as he gave a rather audible mutter under his breath as he pushed the Half-blood aside to get to the sign-up table.<br/><br/>"I think you're at the wrong table, halfblood." There was no apology from Zacharias over the fact he'd practically shoved Hikaru to the side so that he could get to the sign-up table. Nor was there an apology for what he assumed was Hikaru's companion. He saw them both as useless flirts so it really wasn't important for him to care, the fact that Hikaru was at the wrong table was only all the more annoying, he didn't question why he was there. In Zacharias mind he wouldn't be surprised if it did turn out Zacharias was an idiot, he'd probably feel more sorry for the girl he was flirting with before feeling any pity or remorse towards Hikaru over his behavior.
