Spain</strong></span></span><br><strong>Location:</strong> Quidditch Trillenium Stadium, Dartmoor, Devon, England<br><strong>Date &amp; Time:</strong> 18/08/22 - 9:00 PM<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Open to any and all spectators!<br><strong>Content:</strong> Gathering crowds, opening displays, teams are ready. (Match will be resolved using D10 Quidditch on Discord.)<br><strong>Post Rate:</strong> Feel free to post 1-3 times between GM posts. GM posts will be made every 5 days to progress the match.<br></div><br><div align="center">(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ab/69/3f/ab693f130020b671b5e88c1ef7672f7f.png)</div><br>After many months of building anticipation, trials and challenges the finals are finally here. Though the route was undeniably gruelling for all teams involved it was Spain and Wales that ended up in the finals, facing off in front of a vast crowd of witches and wizards from all over the world. Many of them had been camped out for days on the moor, discussing the former rounds of the world cup and speculating about the upcoming final. <br><br>Throughout the tournament, Spain has set two of the widest-margin wins in professional Quidditch with a 580-60 defeat of Japan in the round of 16 and a 420-100 beating of Brazil in the round of 4 after some adversity against the U.S.A in the round of 8. Meanwhile, Wales have had moments of slight struggle but they have always caught the snitch and always done so relatively early, their seeker proving to be among the best in the tournament having even caught the snitch against Argentina, whose seeker earlier set a new world record for the fastest snitch capture on the world stage. Of course, with Wales having won the 2018 world cup in decisive fashion with their seeker having been on fire then too the team does have a slight betting advantage overall.<br><br>Predictions are tight, as are better odds, as nobody can quite tell who will win. While there is certainly tension between supports of the two sides there is no real violence at wizarding sports events, instead at worst a little creative chanting. The match itself being set to begin at night saw crowds arriving, queing and seating themselves throughout the day though more casual fans could still safely arrive in the late afternoon or early evening. <br><br>The stadium itself was a towering thing, a marvel of construction, housing thousands of fans as they cheered on their teams in advance. The highest of seats were somewhat vertigo-inducing things with some even seated at the very top of the arena, able to look down on the action. With the teams yet to arrive tension was at near-peak, waiting for the voice of the announcer to call in the first of the teams.<br><br>Suddenly, with even the latest of fans seated, as the clock struck nine P.M. on a slightly cloudy but mild and still summer night, there was a brief moment of silence before the announcer's voice projected through the arena. "Wizards and witches!" He boomed, a deep voice aided by wizardry that roused an immediate deafening cheer from the crowds. "We are gathered here to day at the climax of the Quidditch World Cup to watch the two greatest teams in the world face off!" He bellowed, earning yet more cheering.<br><br>"First, the pride of their nation and the reigning Quidditch World Champions! Please welcome to the pitch the Welsh National Team!" He announced, before a series of familiar sharp whistling sounds heralded a row of fireworks bursting up into the stadium in an almighty flash of glowing scarlet, the sparks showering into the eventual shape of a great welsh dragon larger than almost any magical beast truly grew. As it roared and fanned its wings before the crowd the seven members of the team were revealed, bursting from the dragon's mouth like shots. While almost all of those in attendance were certainly familiar with flight it was wholly different to watch those of such talent as they darted and moved with a swiftness that was hard to follow, particularly when simply showing off. The Welsh seeker, who many suggested had carried their team remarkably well, was particularly acrobatic as he purposefully dropped from his broom, keeling backward only to catch on to it again with just a single hand as he fell, hauling himself back up and continuing his flight.<br><br>After the crowd was allowed to make it clear just how much support for Wales was in the British arena there was a lull of just a few seconds before the Spanish team arrived, moving with more unison in confident, decisive lines that were still elegant. "Opposing them and looking to unthrone them, Please also give your support for the Spanish National Team!" As they drew the eyes of the crowd their end of the pitch was lit up golden, fireworks forming together this time into the form of a great golden bull large enough to challenge the Welsh dragon opposing it. Soon they were lined up, each team floating in silence.<br><br>The fireworks slowly disappeared, fading into dull sparks while the crowd noise settled somewhat, quiet but palpable tension filling the air around each and every spectator. All the eyes were drawn down, now, to the referee marching out onto the pitch with a heavy trunk levitating just behind her. After setting it down she eyed the crowd for a moment, gesturing her hands up to illicit another roar before she unstrapped the trunk, letting loose both bludgers and the golden snitch which was quickly impossible to follow for anyone in the arena. Finally, she picked up the quaffle, eyeing both teams. "I expect a good, clean game. We all want the best team to win," She encouraged, before at last tossing the heavy, scarlet quaffle into the air to begin the match.

However, in her history of dating men, she came to understand that the majority of them got horny after a game. Particularly if that game was a close call, and if the team they were cheering for happened to win. <br><br>Naturally, it was Corinne’s hope that whichever team her boyfriend Ibrahim was rooting for would win by the skin of their teeth and really send him into a pent up frenzy. With just how turbulent their relationship had been lately, and how rarely they had made time for each other over the summer, it was a very necessary thing to keep the spark alive.&nbsp; <br><br>Everything had been planned for maximum effect; the old fashioned record player playing something soft and sexy&nbsp; in the background, the Sudoku puzzles set up on the coffee table next to a freshly made pot of Turkish tea. She was truly pulling out all the stops for Ibrahim, who she had planned to meet early for a bit of alone time before the game started. <br><br>Unfortunately, despite all of her planning and effort, Ibrahim had mentioned being too busy to show up early for the event, but did promise to be there on the day of the match. This naturally soured her mood quite a bit and now that she had to wait for him to arrive, Corinne was feeling particularly impatient and annoyed. <br><br>She rolled over on the bed, checked her phone again for messages, and sighed. Being too impatient to wait any longer, she decided to rattle one off to him. After sending her text message (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339113.msg16082426#msg16082426), she groaned aloud and fell back onto the bed, wondering how long it would be before he responded – if he responded at all.

				<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/C9OmxOT.gif)</div><strong>Character Name:</strong> Ibrahim Berkes (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339010.msg16079936#msg16079936)<br><strong>Date | Time:</strong> 18/08/22 - 8:50 PM<br><strong>Location:</strong> Quidditch Trillenium Stadium<br><strong>Wearing:</strong> Black trousers, Welsh green shirt, white sneakers (https://i.pinimg.com/236x/85/98/46/859846f7babbb9d7297d935fdbdbec71.jpg)<br><strong>Mood music:</strong> Dépêche-toi! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcaJ7Te9QIs)<br><strong>Content:</strong> N/A<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Corinne Bailey<br><br><br><hr><br>Much like his girlfriend, Ibrahim didn't care for quidditch. Seeing others fly didn't bother him, but in the case of professional players, it was different. Their speed, twists and turns gave him nausea. He had very reluctantly accepted Corinne's invitation to attend the final. She did say she had good seats, which reassured him a little, but the fact they had barely seen each other lately weighted in more in his decision. <br><br>A fully crowded stadium always had the opportunity for a fantastic atmosphere and offer fans a great sportive experience. As a football fan, he knew that much, having experienced it first hand watching Arsenal at the Emirates. The chants, the drunken old timers, it was all part of the experience. Ibrahim was English, but he'd support Wales in the final as a mark of British solidarity. Plus, he already knew a couple of their chants, such as "Wales, Wales" which consisted in repeating the nation's name over and over. Simple but effective. <br><br>Wales' colors were Green, White and Red while Spain's colors were Red and Yellow. He wasn't sure how their national quidditch teams would dress up, but if he had gone for red, he would've looked like a Spaniard. Thus, he had chosen his attire with that in mind, opting to wear a Welsh green button up shirt.<br><br><div class="floatright">(https://images.ctfassets.net/usf1vwtuqyxm/7gzysp7gk0KAUio6scyqKQ/5b189b8f7849c0d849c289f46cb91cfc/QuidditchWorldCup_WB_F4_InsideTheStadiumDuringMatch_Illust_080615_Land.jpg?fm=jpg&amp;q=70&amp;w=2560)</div>As he mentioned in his text (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339113.msg16083243#msg16083243), he had planned to arrive at her box at 9:00 PM exactly. Ibrahim was never late and usually gave himself a bit of leeway so he would never be late for anything. He was the type to stroll around outside until the time he specified rather than arrive early and wait inside. <br><br>When he made it to the stadium, it was 8:45 PM and it took him several minutes to walk across the camp and through the crowds. As Ibrahim passed one of the checkpoints to enter the actual stadium, they verified his magical ticket and he took the opportunity to ask one of the staff where he should be going. <br><br><em>"That's... a luxury box, sir,"</em> the staff informed him, looking up from his magical ticket and raising a finger and pointing it to the sky. <em>"All the way up there, you'll have the best view in the stadium!"</em><br><br>He then moved on to another attendee while Ibrahim walked forward, shaking his head. It was 8:55 PM and people were rushing inside to get to their seats or boxes. <br><br><strong>"Merlin's beard..."</strong> he mumbled to himself. He looked up at the impressive stadium and sighed. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest. <em>So this is what you meant by good seats? I should've realized that sooner...</em> he thought, blaming himself for assuming it'd be like for football stadiums where the best seats were close to the pitch. In quidditch, it was the opposite. <em>I'm definitely not going.</em><br><br>Walking away from the stadium, he joined the crowd of poorer Welsh and Spanish fans who couldn't afford or obtain tickets, but who had made the trip regardless to support their team. The organizers were showing the final on large screens for them. He'd watch the game from there and text Corinne to meet up later (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339113.msg16083251#msg16083251).

Especially not after putting as much effort into the evening as she had that night. Yet, even after explaining the lengths she had gone to please Ibrahim, he had the nerve to text her back saying that he was still at dinner with his dad. When she read that text, she scoffed aloud. <br><br>“But your <em>dad</em> isn’t the one trying to seduce you right now!” She muttered under her breath. Another groan left her as she was forced to wait until the game started to even see him. Or so he had said. Corinne spent the time on her phone, then walking around the stands. She collected a bunch of snacks along the way, including popcorn, hot dogs, and hamburgers. <br><br>Though she scoured the crowds for her boyfriend, he was nowhere in sight. And he wasn’t exactly easy to miss in a crowd. She sighed as she made her way to the fancy box seating that provided not only the best view in the place, but also complimentary services like a private restroom, wait staff, and most importantly, plush seating. Nothing like those plastic things in the stands. <br><br>When Ibrahim didn’t make it to the box by 9:00, she knew something was off. He was always on time, even early, and hated whenever she made him wait. After setting all of the food down at the table in the VIP box, she pulled out her phone angrily, and just then, a text message came in. It was from Ibrahim, and he said they should meet up after the game. <br><br>She blinked at the words in the text, not truly comprehending them. Did he mean that he was about to miss the entire game? What, had he found some hot first year to watch the game with? Wasn’t her VIP booth good enough for him? “UGH!” Corinne groaned aloud, making a few lingering waiters jump. “No you are not!” She fumed, as she typed up a text message (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339113.msg16083418#msg16083418) and sent it. <br><br>Soon after, she went to the Maginet’s Hooter, which was like the muggle version of Twitter, and fired off a Tweet (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339113.msg16083454#msg16083454) there. With that all said and done, she simply waited for the first person to come by the box who she recognized from Hogwarts. Suddenly, a dorky guy with way too much pride in one of the teams showed up. “Hey, you’re from Hogwarts, right? It’s all yours. Enjoy.” She said, icily. <br><br>But, just as she stood up to leave, she let out another hot breath of air and shook her head. “No, I’m not leaving. I’m not spending Merlin knows how many hours in a tent by myself.” Corinne was essentially talking to herself by this point, but she was sure that the dorky guy with her didn’t mind. Why would he? Now he got the privilege of being in her company, in public. <br><br>She sat down again and smiled at him. “You’re welcome.” With that, she bit into one of the hot dogs a little too furiously. While angrily chewing, she glanced at him. “What?” She snapped.

Maybe she was giving away her seat to go…shopping or something.&nbsp; Standing quickly, Devon made his way towards the stairs, trying to watch the game the whole time and nearly tripping at least twice.&nbsp; Once inside, he made a beeline for the luxury boxes, trying to ignore how many steps he was climbing, and only had to do some fast talking to get into the box.<br><br>Stepping in, Devon nearly turned right around and headed for his old seat.&nbsp; Corrine was definitely there, and was NOT looking excited about it.&nbsp; At her icy greeting, Devon did in fact freeze.&nbsp; “Uh, yes?”&nbsp; He replied, looking down at the much smaller girl who nevertheless seemed to fill a lot more of the room.&nbsp; “Er, thanks.”&nbsp; He added, feeling a little better as she stood to leave, moving inversely to him as he took a seat.<br><br>Of course, it wasn’t going to be that easy.&nbsp; Staring wide eyed as she sat back down, Devon simply blinked as she attacked a hot dog before turning to him as she chewed with a vengeance.&nbsp; “Ummm, nothing.&nbsp; Are you….ok?&nbsp; You seem,,,upset?”&nbsp; He didn’t mean for it to come out as a question, but maybe the fact that he wondered if he should even be asking caused it.

Her dad often teased her for the way she struggled to pay attention in school but could glue her eyes to every second of a Quidditch game. Realistically she cared about it more than her hobbies anyway and saw the potential of a future pro career if everything was to go according to plan. She'd love that, playing for a national team eventually on a stage like this. The idea didn't make her anxious at all. She'd never feel anxious when she had something practical to focus on. Taking a test was more unsettling.<br><br>Today she was sat by her dad who, despite his teasing, was just as invested in the final as he was. They shared that serious expression, staring the game down as they couldn't wait for it to begin. Another student likely could have tripped over Samara and she wouldn't have noticed, having clocked a few she recognized from school among the stands on her way to her seat but not been willing to take the time away from the game.<br><br>Though it didn't show on the outside Samara felt as though her heart was in her throat, her stomach tense and her pulse racing. She was desperate for the game to begin. While she was quietly supporting the home team, or closest to it, she was what she'd call a 'love of the game' fan and so wasn't too overt in her support for either instead just hoping to see some extremely high-level play overall.

The players moved with swiftness and accuracy that quickly justified why they were at the very top of their sport. At least so far as the eye test was concerned it was easy to see why these players had reached the finals. <br><br>For the first few minutes of the match, it was largely neutral, without an early snitch capture to interrupt the spectacle. While some hoped that, particularly after the Welsh keepers record through the tournament, a world record capture might be on track for this final. As it was, though, there was back and forth control of the quaffle and after one excellent save by the Spanish keeper he just couldn't keep up and first one, then another goal got past him to give Wales a 20-0 lead.<br><br>After that perhaps it was demoralization, the pressure or simply contending with their opponents but whatever the cause the Spanish team started to slip. Their beaters were so focused on keeping the Welsh seeker subdued that their own chasers were unable to maintain possession leading to a slew of goals from Wales and a rough injury as one of the Spanish chasers was struck hard in the shoulder by a bludger, struggling to maintain the speed and precision they had displayed earlier.<br><br>By the end of the first twenty the Welsh team led at 70-0, a commanding lead but still one that was far from insurmountable as a single snitch capture of a bad next twenty could easily turn the tide at this level of the game. The Welsh fans, in particular, were cheering very loudly as their team found success. There was a little surprise, perhaps, that the rest of the team were holding up so well. Some would attribute it to the way their opponents were stuck dedicating so many resources to the Welsh seeker while others would simply say the other Welsh players were under-appreciated due to the sheer talent of their seeker. Spanish fans, meanwhile, bellowed in support of their team in the hopes that they would turn it around soon before the early lead of their opponents became unassailable. <br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">D10 Quidditch Results</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br>Wales Vs.

His mind was focused on finding the ideal spot to watch the game.<br><br>Today, he was rooting for the Welsh Dragons… partly because they turned out to be fans of his and had invited him here on a VIP pass in exchange for autographs signed for every member of the team that wanted one. <br><br>It was kind of cool if he was going to be honest with himself, a quidditch team as famous as the Welsh Dragons and they were fans… some might expect that a famous musician was numb to being starstruck themselves… but that just wasn’t true at all. Ye-Jun felt humbled and honored that these quidditch big shots enjoyed his music.<br><br>Truth be told, this whole excursion was a most welcome and relaxing distraction… this morning had brought an owl from his mother, she explained to him that she and her childhood best friend with whom she had recently gotten closely reconnected with again… were discussing a potential arranged marriage between himself and the girl he’d spent Christmas’s stampeding through the halls of Park Manor with… Cosette Jeong… or C.J as she often liked to be called, it had been easier for the both of them as children and then it just stuck as time went on.<br><br>He honestly had no idea how to feel about this at the moment… he had absolutely nothing against C.J and held nothing but fond memories of her… but he also had not seen her in quite some time… what was she like now? Would they have anything in common? How would this impact his career?<br><br>Ye-Jun paused in his steps as he approached the railing and gazed out upon the quidditch field, there were so many questions swirling around in his head… but perhaps it wouldn’t do him much good to brood over this whole thing until he had a chance to reconnect with C.J again and talk to her about this, get to know her again… perhaps then, answers to these questions would make themselves known.<br><br>In the meantime, he had a grumbling stomach that demanded some delightful quidditch game snackage… a nice pumpkin fizz and some hippogryph style nachos, aptly named for the mess of delicious extra toppings thrown onto all that cheese… mmm, yes, that definitely sounded exquisite. It wasn’t often either that he could enjoy something potentially very messy without having a thousand pairs of fascinated eyes on him, so he would be a fool to not take advantage of this opportunity of his fanbase not really knowing he was going to be here.<br><br>With that in mind, Ye-Jun pushed away from the railing and made his way in the direction of the snack stand with the long strides afforded him by his height… this was a hungry man, there wasn’t going to be any leisurely meandering as there was all the time in the world. Nachos demanded to be consumed! And consume… Ye-Jun would…

Also, reconnecting! <br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Ye-Jun Park (LamentingQuill)<br><hr><hr><br>Her parents were possibly the greatest people currently living.<br><br>Besides her favorite Quidditch players.<br><br>Oh, and that one really cool witch she admired...<br><br>But, still absolutely fabulous souls.<br><br>They'd bought her a shiny ticket for the World Cup! It was expensive and would be packed to the max, but she was over the moon and might have squealed, and given both her parents giant hugs. Her mother had laughed, while her father - a reserved soul - had simply smiled very faintly, and patted her lightly on the back. Which, really, was way more affection than he normally showed.<br><br>They couldn't attend for their own reasons - her mom had tried to explain, but as soon as the world 'Business Dinner' had left her mouth, CJ had pressed a kiss to her cheek and then scampered off to go prepare. <br><br>She was a huge Welsh supporter - she had other teams she loved - but the dragons? Yes, and please! She'd arrived early, and has spent time with the supporters who had turned up for their teams but were unable to actually get to the match itself. Like a little outgoing hummingbird, the young witch fluttered from one group to another, sharing drinks, and laughter.<br><br>CJ might have gotten into a small snark match with a drunk wizard who supported the other team and didn't appreciate her display of Welsh Dragon Pride. Luckily, it didn't escalate thanks to a timely intervention, and she was able to make herself scarce.<br><br>To be honest, all the social butterfly behavior had been a delightful distraction from her thoughts. Earlier that summer, her mother had sat her down, her favorite drinks, and snacks laid out on the small table. CJ had been immediately suspicious, but she'd waited, stuffing her face, while her mother filled the silence with little bits of gossip and idle chit-chat. <br><br><em>" I was talking to my friend..."</em> she'd started, then proceeded to inform CJ of the conversations that had taken place, and how it had moved from little musings to a full-on proper discussion of an arranged marriage. <em>" You remember Ye-Jun right? I realize it's been a few years since you two saw each other." </em><br><br>Of course, she remembered him.<br><br>He was an international rock-star now, but back then, when they'd spent every Christmas eve and Christmas together, he'd been a skinny kid with a funny haircut that she'd play with at the Park Estate. They'd explored every room, invented games, and laughed their way through the holidays, while their parents watched from the sidelines, amused.<br><br>Her memories of him were soft, warm things, but slightly fuzzy around the edges, due to time passed. Now? She mostly knew of him through his career, and his music, which was good, and she might have once attended a concert on the sly, because of curiosity.<br><br>It'd been an experience.<br><br>Inhaling, CJ decided to not dwell on all that serious stuff, and after a moment of wandering around the stands, she found herself headed straight for one of the food stands. These events were perfect for snacking, they often had lots of delightful surprises just waiting to be tried, and so, why the heck not? Stomach growling in anticipation, she arrived at the snack place at the same time as another person.<br><br>Who was dressed to the nines in a fancy burgundy suit.<br><br>Who she also recognized...<br><br>Ye-Jun?<br><br>Merlin's Beard.<br><br><strong>" Ye-Jun? Hi! Nice suit, a Welsh Dragon fan?" </strong> She smiled warmly, despite her surprise, and the way her heart was thumping annoyingly loud in her ears. Fudge-sticks. She'd just been thinking about him, and then poof, here he was. It took her about three seconds to realize that he might not recognize her, now that she wasn't a pig-tailed little gremlin. <strong>" It's C.J..."</strong> She added, motioning for him to come and stand with her in line. <br><br>Oooh boy, this was not at all what she was expecting.

Some guys didn’t know when to just leave things as they laid. Which, ironically, meant that they wouldn’t end up getting laid at the end of the night, in most instances. <br><br>She continued to angrily tear into her hot dog as Devon explained that he had someone else take care of his face paint. He confided in her – boy, he was a brave one – that his hands were much too unsteady to handle a delicate and intricate job like that. <br><br>Instead of responding verbally, Corinne visibly grimaced while her brows pulled together. She cringed at the idea of what those shaky hands meant for him. More importantly, what they meant for any date he might have landed, against all the odds stacked against him. <br><br>A small smile actually crept over her face when he sarcastically asked what gave away which team he was cheering for. It was a tight smile, but still a genuine one, nonetheless. Her gaze veered away and returned to the game in front of them, players whizzing by at breakneck speeds to both chase and dodge the various balls. <br><br>She finished the rest of her hot dog in another couple of bites, then reached around for her plastic cup filled with soda for a sip. Devon asked which team she was cheering for, while a waiter asked what he’d like to drink. He ordered a butterbeer and Corinne smirked while sucking through the straw.<br><br>When the waiter left, Corinne placed her drink back down and folded one shapely leg over the other. “No, I’m not. I typically just attend these games without cheering.” She flatly said. “If I’m watching with someone, I’ll hope the team they’re rooting for will win, because I find that sports turn men on.”<br><br>Corinne reached over without thinking into his popcorn bucket and rifled around a while before grabbing&nbsp; a handful and pulling her hand out again, to nibble on one piece at a time. Glancing over at him with a mild level of amusement, she wondered aloud, “if the dragons win, how horny will you get?”

Devon wondered if the small talk portion was over, but as Corrine folded her legs and faced him a little more, it seemed not.&nbsp; At her response about not really cheering, Devon hid an inner sigh. Of course these were the people with the best seats.&nbsp; The ones who didn’t care.&nbsp; Without thinking, Devon was just about to ask about her comment on ‘if’ she was watching with someone, which of course begged the question as to why she had a free seat, but he was interrupted by the rapid return of the waiter.<br><br>Taking his drink, he was taken aback to find Corinne’s shapely hand digging down towards his lap to grab a handful of popcorn.&nbsp; Not knowing what to say to that, he instead took a pull from the butterbeer bottle, which unfortunately left him with a mouthful of liquid when Corrine’s next question hit.&nbsp; <br><br>Coughing in instant shock, Devon sprayed butterbeer in a pretty impressive arc, more than a little heading right towards Corinne.&nbsp; “Wait, what?&nbsp; That is a thing that happens, is it?”&nbsp; He said, through chokes and gasps, until he finally focused on what he had just done to the girl sitting next to him.&nbsp; “Oh god, I am so sorry!”&nbsp; He exclaimed, adding ‘making a scene’ to ‘giving her a soaking’.&nbsp; “Here let me…” He began, looking around and trying to grab up some napkins.<br><br>Grabbing a nearby pile, Devon was sure where to begin, but since shoving napkins in her face probably wouldn't help he went in for blotting at pants and shirt rather ineffectively, even though there was a lot more chest than shirt to work with.<br>

The Spanish side focused much more on skillful defence looking to contain and control the state of play which, while it slowed the rate of Welsh goals, wasn't getting them much progress of their own. The Welsh lead continued to extend despite one Spanish goal slipping through after a break by one of their chasers.<br><br>Overall the crowd's mood was certainly not souring but many were urging the players on, hoping for something more after that early showing from Wales and the fact that both seekers on the pitch had so often caught the snitch early. One advantage, certainly for fans of Spain or fans of a tense game, of the lower scoring rounds was that it was still firmly anyone's match with a snitch capture remaining plenty to skyrocket the Spanish team to a victory.<br><br>With the play itself, slower injuries were rare, players managing to cope well with whatever minor bumps they received. It appeared the snitch was particularly elusive as even with two such gifted seekers on the pitch neither had made a single break for it yet, a worrying sign for Spanish fans if their other players couldn't turn it around as with a one hundred and twenty points lead it would only take three more goals to make a Spanish snitch just a draw and only four more to make them still lose even if they did catch the snitch. To those more attuned to Quidditch, it would be clear that the crowd was tense, most quietly hoping that the state of play would at least pick up a few notches and the Spain supporters certainly desperate for their team to kick into gear soon.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">D10 Quidditch Results</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br>Wales Vs.

Both of her hands went skyward while her jaw dropped open and she gasped in utter disdain and disgust.<br><br>Shooting up from her seat in order to stand, her fingers curled and her eyes darted down to examine the damage done to her outfit. All the while, Devon was coughing out some sort of a reply, but Corinne wasn’t listening and at that point was sorry she had even asked. <br><br>“Whatever!” She shouted at him, just in time for Devon to seemingly become aware of the mess that he’d made all over her expensive outfit. He apologized loudly and picked up a pile of napkins, before starting to blot at her pants and shirt, which really was more like patting her all over. <br><br>By that point, Corinne merely looked down at Devon as he tried to pick up the stains with paper napkins. “Getting a good groping in, are you?” Corinne asked pointedly, before shoving Devon away with a finger on his forehead. Her free hand pointed down at her front, and she easily spoke a spell. <br><br>“Scourgify.” Her wand wasn’t even with her, she had cast the spell with only her hand pointed downward at her stained clothes. Almost immediately, a swirl of magic burst from her fingertip and scrubbed away the stains on her jeans and crop top, leaving both spotless once again. <br><br>She let out a bit of a scoffing chuckle then. “You said you <em>do</em> attend Hogwarts, right?” Her perfectly sculpted brow raised super high as she eventually made her way back to her seat, tossing the napkins out of the way.

He looked like a poor deer trapped in the blinding glow of headlights, with his mouth agape. Corinne easily pushed him backwards, making him fall further onto the seat where he was already perched. <br><br>Finally, he thought to question her back, defensively, before denying the accusation altogether. Corinne merely harrumphed. “Right. That was probably more action than you’ve had all summer.” Which was truly saying something, since he had barely patted at her more supple parts and that certainly couldn’t pass for groping. <br><br>After discarding the damp napkins, Corinne no longer worried over them, while Devon decided that he should go and pick them all up. Again, something he could have easily used magic for, yet he didn’t. She had to wonder if he was a late bloomer. As she thought about it, she perked a brow. Now <em>that</em> would make a lot of sense, wouldn’t it? <br><br>Devon defended himself by declaring that he did, in fact, attend Hogwarts, despite his apparent preference for not using magic. He even went so far as to say that they had two classes together. Corinne merely gave him a bored look as he went on to explain that he often sat in the back and was actually working on the material. <br><br>“Herbology, isn’t it?” She asked. “I think I recall you screaming bloody murder once when you got pricked by something or other.” She smirked at her own phrasing. He proved that he knew her by calling her the Head Girl, but that wasn’t really a surprise to the likes of Corinne, who imagined that everyone at school knew who she was. <br><br>Naturally, this was why her reputation needed to be flawless. But that didn’t mean she avoided creating a little bit of trouble now and again. And, for some reason, this Devon person felt like the perfect opportunity. It would have been a shame to pass it up. “Devon, you need to make it up to me by giving me your shirt.” <br><br>She pointed toward the bathrooms in the back, which were entirely private and secluded. “Let’s go.” She snapped her fingers at him to get him to hurry along, before leading the way. Once she reached the back of the VIP booth, where there were several doors leading to completely private, individual bathrooms, she opened one of the doors, hurrying him along. <br><br>“Go on, then.” Yes, she had every intention of closing the door behind them both and standing there to watch whilst he took off his shirt to hand over to her.

She's wearing a Welsh team Jersey. She has the team colors in bold streaks across her cheeks. Her shoulder-length hair has been split dyed. One side vibrant green, the other a bold scarlet. <br><strong>Content:</strong> FOOD! Also, reconnecting! <br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Ye-Jun Park (LamentingQuill)<br><hr><hr><em>“C.J…hello…thank you, and yeah, they are pretty good and who would have thought…fans of mine too…”</em> He said - though it wasn’t bragging, just stating a simple (hahaha) fact, his lips curving in such a way that she couldn’t help but watch his pretty - kissable- mouth. CJ bit down on her bottom lip, oh, she bet his fangirls and guys practically swooned whenever he graced them with that panty-dropping smile.<br><br>Suddenly, she was tempted to trace the shape of his lips with her fingers. But, luckily, she had something resembling self-control and refrained.<strong> “ That’s cool, have you met them?</strong>” He was so close, and really, he looked very good in that suit…<strong>” Do you always dress to the nines for sporting events?”</strong> She lightly ran her fingertips down the front of his suit - oooh, it felt just as nice as it looked - She supposed it should, him being a fancy rockstar and all.<br><br>When Ye-jun complimented her, she laughed, dropping her hand.<strong> “ Thank you, I took special care to get this get-up just right.”</strong> And because it was in her nature, and she wanted to show off just a little bit, CJ turned this way and that, then did a slow circle, allowing Ye-Jun to appreciate every angle of her outfit.<br><br>If he happened to check out any other things, well, she didn’t mind.<br><br>Her lips curled into a smirk at the thought. Her mother would be picking out the font for the wedding invitations if she were witness to this moment, jumping to all sorts of conclusions. But, nothing was decided, and like she’d promised herself before. She would let herself get to know grown-up Ye-Jun, and have as much fun as she wanted while doing it.<br><br>No pressure.<br>No expectations.<br><br>Just two old friends reconnecting, and seeing if either of them wanted ‘more’.<br><br>Or maybe she was getting ahead of herself, who knew. Ye-Jun could be secretly horrified by the mere thought of marriage, and was just being a flirtatious cutie for … reasons?<br><br>He asked if she wanted to share nachos, and her lips spread in a big grin. <strong>“ Yes, can we get extra cheese, and oooh, drinks of course. Maybe something sweet to share too” </strong>None of those things were actual questions, more like decisions she was announcing aloud. Her gaze met his, taking in the way he looked at her, all thoughtful, and a bit more serious than she expected. <br><br>Ah.<br><br><strong>“ You got a letter?”</strong> She stared at him in disbelief, before amusement flashed across her features. <strong>“ I didn’t get something quite so simple. My mother sat me down with tea and snacks, and told me point blank about the possible arrangement, oh, and her opinion on the matter, that was the icing on that surprise.”</strong> <br><br>CJ loved her mother - but, sometimes the woman was a bit much.<br><br>While they'd been talking, the line had been moving, and they'd naturally followed it, they were up next, and while she wanted to make sure they were both on the same page in regard to what they wanted, her thoughts wandered back to the letter. <strong>" What did the letter say exactly? Was that how your parents told you about it?"</strong><br><br>Neither of them had actually said the words yet.<br><br>Arranged Marriage.<br><br>They danced around it, and for some reason, she found that deeply amusing.

With the snitch seemingly absent for the time being the Spanish team chose to focus entirely on the quaffle and bludgers and almost immediately things changed. Their beaters let the Welsh seeker be and began beating down the Welsh beaters and generally overwhelming their team, even injuring one of the Welsh beaters notably.<br><br>Goals began to come in for Spain and within just twenty minutes they had gone from a heavy 120 point deficit that threatened to even overwhelm a snitch capture to being just 40 points down meaning Wales would now certainly need the snitch if they wanted to win any time soon.

And just as she thought he was going to protest her demand – not a request – he instead followed her to the bathroom and stepped inside just before she shut the door.<br><br>It was a good thing he didn’t take much longer, because Corinne was about to start tapping her shoe impatiently. She didn’t like to be kept waiting very long. In fact, typically, she was the one who made others wait for her.

I’m actually quite unsatisfied.” She remarked, emphasizing the word that she chose to use to describe how she was really feeling. Thinking back to Ibrahim and the rejection she felt from her boyfriend, Corinne had to admit it; she was sexually frustrated. <br><br>But in that moment, something about Devon’s messy hair and his surprisingly sculpted arms drew Corinne to one possible conclusion. Without another word, she took the shirt from him and hung it on the wall beside them, before stepping closer and getting into his personal space. Her hands grabbed hold of his tank and gripped the fabric as she pulled him in and pressed her lips against his, hungrily.

In her mind, it was already a done deal as soon as he stripped his shirt off for her and asked if she was satisfied. Besides, with how little experience he had with the opposite sex, was he really in any sort of position to deny the advances of the hottest Head Girl Hogwarts had ever seen? <br><br>Obviously not. <br><br>Initially, Devon seemed too shocked to do anything other than allow Corinne to do as she pleased. But soon enough, he groaned aloud – and there was no blaming a sound like that on anything else – before pressing his own lips against hers with just as much fervency as she had shown to him. Before she could deepen the kiss too much further, Devon pulled away with a profound gasp and asked, through panting breaths, if she was dating someone. <br><br>Corinne scoffed and shook her head. “You have to actually see someone in order to date them.” A small sigh left her and she stamped her foot beneath her while her lower lip jutted out in a rather distinct pout. “Look, shut up! Here I am trying to do you a favor and get you a little bit of action – you’re welcome, by the way – and you’re interrupting it to ask stupid questions?” She shook her head and backed up, leaning herself onto the sink counter before sitting on the very edge. <br><br>Her legs spread and she coaxed Devon over with a single, curling finger. “Don’t make me beg you to come here and show me what you’re made of.”

Not only that, but Spain was playing! Naturally, he had to cheer for his home country, even though he knew nothing about quidditch back when he lived in Spain. Not to mention, it was difficult to follow world quidditch when he was busy playing it and training for it himself. <br><br>Watching the teams from the nosebleed section where he and some friends were seated meant that he was mostly watching the projectors on either side for close-ups. It also meant that he was itching to get back on the quidditch pitch himself. Ever since he saved up enough to purchase his own broom last year, he’d been counting the days until he could ride on it again. <br><br>Danny and his friends had a tent set up somewhere in the heavily crowded field, where they had waited with all of the other die-hards for the game to start. Now that it was underway, he had to admit that he was disappointed at Spain’s performance thus far. But, being as loyal as he was, he had to continue to cheer for Spain. <br><br>At some point, his friends all agreed that they needed some snacks, so Danny volunteered to go and find one of those people passing out snacks, since they rarely went up as high as the nosebleed section. He took out his wallet and carefully made his way down the stairs, going down several rows until he finally bumped into someone selling popcorn. “Hey, can I get two buckets?” He asked. <br><br>Once he started to pull his money out, he looked around him and realized he recognized someone from Hogwarts quidditch. He smiled at her and put his wallet back into his back pocket again. “Thanks, mate.” he said to the concession stand person, before turning to greet Val more properly. “Don’t tell me you’re rooting for Wales,” he joked, smirking down at her where she sat.

Now that was an event she'd never been lucky enough to witness live before, but this year, it just so happened that the day of the match happened to coincide with her birthday. That alone was exciting enough, but when her brother surprised her with tickets to the match, Val was beyond thrilled. It would easily be the highlight of her summer, and something she looked forward to talking about once the new term began. <br><br>On the day of the actual match, Val arrived with her brother and a few of his friends. She'd anxiously been awaiting the start of the game and had wanted to get to their seats a little early, just to make sure they didn't miss out on anything by trying to get past the crowd of people also heading to their seats. The tickets her brother had scored were decent enough, and allowed Val to enjoy the match from where she was sitting, though honestly she could have had the worst seats in the stadium and she'd have still been thrilled. Just being here was exciting enough, and made her that much more eager to return to Hogwarts so she could get back on her broom. <br><br>Spain didn't prove to be doing too well for the early stages of the match, which was a bit of a bummer, but Val was constantly on the edge of her seat when it seemed like things were starting to pick up. She didn't initially notice that her brother had goofed off somewhere, likely to spend some time with his girlfriend. She'd celebrated with her family in the morning so Val didn't mind. He'd got her these tickets after all, so she was grateful. <br><br>Val also didn't notice that a familiar face was close by. Not till he came over to properly greet her. Upon hearing the question, Val pried her gaze away from the quidditch players and looked up at Danny, taking a few moments for the recognition to settle in. When it did, she offered a beaming smile. "Oh, no," she shook her head and lifted the oversized jersey that was bunched up in her lap. She'd been wearing it earlier, but since it started to feel warm, she took it off a little after the game began. "Spain all the way." <br><br>Val glanced back at the match briefly before standing up, so Danny didn't have to keep looking down, and so she didn't have to crane her neck to look up. "Kind of wish I'd gone all out with face paint too, but this is my birthday outfit and I didn't want to risk ruining it," she explained, chuckling softly. "Is this your first time at a quidditch match?"

Val stood up shortly after expressing that she was also rooting for Spain, which made Danny grin rather overtly. She even referenced a jersey, which had been bunched up in her lap, to which Danny’s brows raised, clearly impressed. <br><br>“Wow, look at you,” he murmured, as he gave her a once over. <br><br>He had to admit, he’d found himself attracted to Val ever since they first met at quidditch practice two years ago. But for one reason or another, he’d never taken the leap to actually, officially ask her out. Maybe this would be the year that he’d finally take that step and see what came of it all. It certainly helped that she was cheering for Spain too, which just made her even more attractive in Danny’s eyes.<br><br>She mentioned that she had wished she would have gone with some facepaint and Danny chuckled. “Don’t leave it to me and my wand because I’m really not sure I’d be able to pull it off.” Even though most magic involved little more than hand movements and memorization, for some of the more artistic spells, a bit of creativity was also necessary. And creativity was one thing Danny did not possess. <br><br>Val briefly mentioned that she was in her birthday outfit and didn’t want to ruin it, which made Danny’s face drop a bit. “Really? Well, happy birthday! What a fantastic birthday present, getting to come here for the World Cup. Now Spain really has to win!” He chuckled, still grinning widely at Val. When she asked if this was his first match, he nodded his head. “My first World Cup, and my first time getting to see professional quidditch, actually.” <br><br>Danny was just about to ask about her birthday plans, when the cheers from all around them grew to a swell. He turned his head to quickly observe what was going on and noticed the point lead for Spain. “Woo!” He cheered aloud, raising his arms above his head. As his arms lowered again, he clapped them loudly. “¡Arriba España!” He shouted, as loudly as he could. <br><br>He then turned back to Val and chuckled guiltily at the realization that his cheers were likely too loud for how close they were standing now. “Sorry. I really wasn’t sure they’d win earlier and now they’re really pulling ahead!” Obviously, Val could see that herself, but Danny felt the need to explain himself regardless. Once the excitement died down a little, he thought to ask her finally, “so, what are your birthday plans? I mean other than this?”

Truth be told, she was doing the same to him, and she'd be lying if she said it was the first time. Danny had caught her eye ever since the two of them met during quidditch practise, though for as long as she'd known him, being team mates had pretty much been the extent of their relationship. She'd never actually met him off Hogwarts grounds — not counting Hogsmeade, of course. That made this coincidental meeting all the more welcome. <br><br>He joked about not trusting him and his wand for the face paint, before wishing her a happy birthday. At that, Val's grin grew even wider. "Thank you!" She was definitely the type of person to spend the weeks before her actual birthday more excited than ever, and now that the day had finally arrived, <em>and</em> she was also watching the Quidditch World Cup Finals, Val really felt like she was on cloud nine. <br><br>"Yeah, the tickets were a birthday gift, actually," she explained, before nodding as he answered her question. "Mine too. I guess the fact that it's your first time and you're witnessing a match as big as this makes it even more thrilling." Not to mention Danny's home team was playing, so she knew it would be an experience he wouldn't forget. And she wouldn't either. <br><br>It seemed they both broke away from the conversation when the game began to shift and cheers erupted all around them. Spain was now leading, and Val practically jumped with excitement along with the rest of the supporters of Spain. The match then continued, and the cheers slowly started to die down, everyone anxiously waiting for another goal or something equally as exciting. <br><br>Looking back at Danny, Val chuckled and shook her head. "I'm never going to tell a fellow quidditch fan to quiet down," she reassured him, so there was no need to apologise. She was just as excited as he was that Spain seemed to be turning things around now. She just hoped they'd be able to stay that way and ultimately win the game. <br><br>Upon hearing Danny's question about her birthday plans, Val shrugged. "I don't have any plans for the rest of the night," she told him. "I celebrated with some friends and family earlier in the day, and then I came for the match with my brother." Val seemed to remember then that she hadn't come alone, and she glanced back at where she'd been sitting to see her brother wasn't there. "And he's obviously found a girl who's more interesting than the match," she added with a smirk, meeting Danny's gaze once again. <br><br>"Are you here with a friend?" She asked him curiously, nodding to the two buckets of popcorn that he'd set down. "Or a girlfriend?" At that, her grin shifted to a bit of a coy smile because that was more or less her way of finding out if he was single or not. She just hoped her tone wasn't <em>too</em> suggestive.

They had always kept up a friendly repertoire with one another, but they had never truly made it beyond the acquaintance level, despite being teammates. They’d speak in passing, wave hello in the halls, and that was about it. In fact, now that he thought about it, he was pretty sure this was his first time seeing Val outside of the castle. <br><br>His crooked grin grew when he noticed her smiling as she thanked him for wishing her a happy birthday. When she mentioned the tickets were a gift, he nodded, having figured as much. “Now if only Spain would win, then that’s gotta be the best birthday gift ever,” he chuckled. Val confirmed that she was in the same boat as him, what with this being her first time watching professional quidditch as well. “Definitely,” he concurred, nodding his head enthusiastically. <br><br>After the cheering died down and Val reassured him that she’d never tell a fellow fan to be quiet, they returned to their conversation. Danny had asked her about birthday plans, which she shrugged at, after confessing that she didn’t have plans for the rest of the night. She’d already celebrated with family and friends earlier in the day, then came straight to the match after that. Danny nodded, the wheels in his head already turning. <br><br>He smirked when she did, after mentioning that her brother obviously found some girl to talk to. She then asked who he was there with and Danny shook his head at the girlfriend question, chuckling a little. “Just some friends of mine. We’re all the way in the nosebleeds.” He referenced their seats by stretching an arm up and over his head, then motioning as if referring to something far, far away. <br><br>“If you want, maybe we can meet up after the match?” Danny suggested. “I mean, I know it’s your birthday and all so if you need to get back home after this, I totally get it.” Not to mention, it was bound to be pretty late by that point. “I have a tent set up,” he gestured to the tent field with a thumb over his shoulder. Not that either of them could see it from the stands. “I can just kick my friends out,” he laughed. “If you want,” he added as an afterthought.

"Yeah, that'd definitely put this experience over the top," she replied with a soft chuckle. That'd make it three major firsts. Watching a professional quidditch match, watching the World Cup Finals, and witnessing the victory of the team she was voting for. Now of all that happened, it'd easily make this one of the best birthday's she'd ever had.<br><br>When Danny then clarified that he was here with friends by shaking his head when she mentioned the word girlfriend, Val's smile widened a bit, and she briefly followed his gaze when he gestured above to where he and his friends were seated. Honestly, with the amount of witches and wizards here, Val was surprised she'd run into him at all. She was happy for that twist of fate. Of all the popcorn vendors he could have run into, it happened to be the one close to where she was seated. If that wasn't enough of a sign for her to act on the crush she had, she didn't know what was. <br><br>Then he suggested meeting up at the match, and Val felt her heart flutter in her chest. "No, no, I don't need to be anywhere," she assured him when he made the assumption that she might have to head back home after the game was over. Perhaps she answered that a bit too quickly, but she allowed Danny to continue before she nodded and spoke up again.<br><br>"Yeah, I'd really like that," she told him with a smile. She thought it was sweet of him to offer to meet up, especially considering he was already here with some friends. Regardless of the fact that he had company though, the offer to meet up with him later wasn't something she'd refuse. The game continued to play on in the background, and Val glanced back at it briefly before turning to Danny once more. "Come find me when the match ends?" She suggested. "I'll be waiting right here." It would be on his way down, and it'd avoid having to search for each other through the crowd later on.

He chuckled then, mostly at himself. <br><br>Val reiterated that she’d really like to get together after the game, and Danny nodded, his smile lessening but only so that he could meet her gaze. “Then… it’s a date,” he casually mentioned. <br><br>Val suggested he find her when the game was over, and said she’d be right there where he’d met her. “Yeah! Great. That sounds great.” He grinned again and backed out of the seats, turning to grab his popcorn buckets and then tilted his head at Val. “I’ll see you after.” Even though he had no idea what to do for her, he couldn’t help how excited he was just to see her again. <br><br>But, as he ascended the steps again and returned to his friends, who all gave him shit for taking so long, he became aware of the fact that he needed to plan something out – it was Val’s birthday, after all! He racked his brain for spells, wondering if he could just cause a cake to appear, somehow. But sighed when he came up empty, and settled for shoveling some more popcorn into his mouth.

Both sides scored repeatedly leading to the points racking up. Spain extended their lead at first before Wales fired back, beginning to focus more and more on goals instead of protecting their talented seeker. The game turned into a hectic, intense watch with spectacular displays of skill on both side and constant roaring from the crowd as nobody could tell what was going to happen next.<br><br>For a time both seekers were barely noted as the score maintained a fifty-point lead for Spain. They were showing that they clearly had the edge when everyone was not playing around that Welsh seeker. It was an excellent watch and a real display of masterful Quidditch that would go down in history already. <br><br>Only the most astute observers in the crowd would catch the moment the Welsh seeker, Leeroy Firewheel, saw the snitch. The dive that followed made the entire stadium hush in unison, though, as the Spanish seeker pursued him and the beaters of both teams panicked to try to interrupt it. The pursuit was a close one with the Spanish seeker almost catching up to the Welsh.<br><br>Unfortunately, though, he couldn't quite keep pace. It looked like the Snitch might escape before Leeroy gripped his broom with both legs, hanging upside down and outstretching both arms he caught the snitch in both hands at once while upside-down. He was moments away from crashing into the stadium but managed to pull up, holding his hand aloft as the snitch settled and the stadium exploded into cheers, raucous applause and the thunderous voice of the magically-amplified announcement. "Firewheel gets the snitch for Wales! One-hundred-and-fifty points and the game is over. With three-hundred-and sixty points to two-hundred-and-sixty points, Wales win, making them the Quidditch World Cup champions for the second time in a row, a wizarding world record!" The resulting celebration from fans of the Welsh team was still rippling through the crowd as the players all settled, some needing medical care while the Welsh team encouraged their fans to revel in the moment. <br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">D10 Quidditch Results</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br>Wales Vs.

It could be nothing, or it could be something. Either way, she was excited to spend time with him after the game, so when he agreed to meet her right here once the match was done, Val waved goodbye and watched him head off, and only once he disappeared above did she return to her seat for the remainder of the game. <br><br>At one point, Val slipped the jersey back on over her dress, tired of holding it and feeling like she wanted to be wearing it when Spain won. Points were being racked up on both sides and Val was on the edge of her seat, wishing she could somehow will the Spain's seeker into finding the snitch so they could win the game. Her brother had even returned in between because as fun as it could be to sneak off with a girl, he was still just as eager as she was to see how the match would play out, and to determine who the winner would be. <br><br>In the end though, Leeroy Firewheel ended up catching the snitch, in rather dramatic fashion, and cheerful roars erupted all around them from the diehard Wales fans. Supports of Spain, much like Val, were sitting back and feeling crushed over the fact that Spain had lost. Val couldn't help but wonder what Danny's reaction to this was, but she supposed she'd soon find out. <br><br>There were a few moments of celebration, with everyone just revelling in the aftermath of the game. Val's brother ended up slipping away again, though this time he paused to ask her if she wanted to join him for some dinner. After politely declining and declaring that she had plans, Val let him go and stood up, though she hung around her seat to make it easier for Danny to find her when he got down. She was still reeling. Even though she was bummed that Spain had lost, the match had been an amazing one to witness, and she was still thrilled to have had the opportunity. <br><br>Now the only thing that was making her feel like the evening wasn't totally ruined was the thought that she'd be spending much of it with Danny, and that was enough to lift her mood.

It was funny how it all worked out because she was pretty certain that she had been the one to put the moves on him, and now here he was thanking her for it, when in reality, she was the one that needed it. <br><br>Devon paused at the door but led the way back to the VIP booth seats eventually, Corinne following closeby until they returned to their seats, where she took her seat and leaned over again to scoop a handful of popcorn out of Devon’s bucket. She took another long, appreciative sip from her drink, then folded one leg over the other as they watched the remainder of the game. <br><br>At the end, it was Wales who won, after finding the golden snitch. Despite being a close game, Wales was able to hold onto their crown as the returning champions for yet another season. Corinne raised to a stand when the audience broke out into cheers, clapping and whooping for the professional quidditch team. <br><br>Giving Devon a sideways smirk, she quipped. “I take it this is like the very best day of your life, then?” She wasn’t really awaiting an answer, obviously. Once the game had finished, Corinne tidied up a bit, cleaning up her section of the booth and tossing out her trash before getting all of her things together and checking her phone once again for anything else from Ibrahim. <br><br>Nothing was there. She sighed at her phone, feeling a mix of anger and pain as she texted him the exact location of her tent so that he could meet her there and not have the excuse of getting lost along the way. She turned to look at Devon before leaving the VIP booth. “You are to tell no one of what happened in there.” Corinne pointed to the bathroom, then pointed at him, threateningly. “Understand?” <br><br>But once again, she hadn’t waited for Devon’s reply. Instead, she walked off, out of the booth and down the many stadium steps, through the crowd, until she found her way to the tent section and her own lavish tent, where she went and sat herself on her bed, expecting Ibrahim to either already be there, or to meet her there any moment.

He witnessed a plethora of emotions as they took the lead against Spain and looked solid until Spain came back into the game and was looking like it was gonna get away with it, but the Welsh seeker managed to catch the snitch first and end the game before Spain could outscore Wales. The great Cymru were World Champions!!!<br><br>Ibrahim had beer in his hair from fans overly celebrating and he felt sticky and disgusting. He wished he could take a shower right now and expected Corinne's tent to have one, or at least an area where he could use his magic to clean up. Thankfully, Corinne had sent him a text with her tent's location which made things easier for him. Most of the fans were still celebrating so he managed to walk to the tent before his girlfriend. <br><br>He went in, granted entry by the magical field(?), and realized Corinne wouldn't be there just yet. As such, he decided to hop in a bath tub he located and wash himself. After an express hair wash and body rub, he walked out of the tub naked, wrapping a towel around his waist. He did not know when Corinne would come but there was a chance she'd come with her parents, so he didn't want to be naked just in case. <br><br>When she walked in, he was still dripping wet, the towel barely hiding the outline of his butt and crotch, waving his wand around at his clothes that were suspended in the air with levitation magic. <br><br><strong>"Hey, I'm just cleaning my clothes. I got soaked by flying beers outside,"</strong> he informed her. He knew she'd be mad at him and he'd be ready to explain (sort of), but at that very moment he needed to concentrate on his magic or his clothes would fall down and he'd have to start cleaning them all over again.

Taking a deep breath afterward, she pressed a hand to her chest and willed herself to calm down once she realized that the voice was in fact that of Ibrahim and not some stranger who snuck in. <br><br>It took her another moment to process the words he said from the bathroom. She sighed and dropped her hand from her chest, only to then fold them over her chest impatiently. “So, you mean to tell me that I’m meant to <em>continue</em> to <strong>wait</strong> for you?” The venom in her voice was palpable. Even though Ibrahim had a valid excuse for wanting to clean his clothing. <br><br>“So you actually watched the game without me?” She questioned, already knowing the answer but for some reason just wanting to confirm it for sure. Corinne didn’t move from the bed, where she sat. She was content to just shout at him from the bed while he remained in the bathroom until he was actually finally ready to see her for the first time that day – hours after they were meant to meet.

He only hoped Spain would win after what would be a huge comeback. Unfortunately, though, Wales wound up with the golden snitch which made them instantly win the whole thing. <br><br>Danny and his friends were bummed, but they weren't sore losers, so they didn’t boo from the stands, even though they heard many Spain fans booing and angrily tossing their food. “Ahh, man!” Danny bellowed out, angrily. His friends were all too bummed to party after the game like they had planned to do when they thought Spain was going to win. <br><br>Once it was all said and done, the cheers and jeers from the Wales fans took over the stadium, only adding to the defeat that the Spain fans undoubtedly felt. Danny couldn’t say that his mood was entirely ruined, though, considering he did set up a date with Val. He made his way down the stadium stairs, his friends veering off to varying directions, as he made his way to Val’s spot again.<br><br>When he reached Val, he managed a weak smile. “Hey, bummer about the game. Sorry Spain couldn’t pull off a win for your birthday.” He started. “But, they did put up quite a fight, so we can’t be too gutted, right?” After all, it wasn’t easy to go up against world champions. “What do you say we drown our sorrows in some ice cream? I think they’ve got a stand just outside.” He offered.

"Yeah that was kind of a bummer," she admitted with a nod. "But you're right. They played really well, and I'm thrilled I got to see it all in action right here," she told him, smile widening just a bit. <br><br>Danny then suggested they go get some ice cream, which Val was more than happy to do, so she nodded. "Yeah, sounds good," she replied. "I'll never say no to ice cream," she added with a chuckle, beginning to walk away from her seat alongside Danny. The crowd was massive, and with everyone more or less heading in various directions, either to meet up with other people, or to get back to their tents, it was pretty easy to get lost. Just to make sure she didn't get separated from, Val reached out in between to take his wrist till they were in a relatively less crowded area. <br><br>Sure enough, there were several stands that offered different things to eat, and the one offering ice cream didn't seem to have too many people so she got in line with Danny and then turned to him while they waited to move up and reach the front. <br><br>"So, you've got me all night," Val said with a smile, knowing that she was only set to leave tomorrow morning. It was very likely that nobody'd really relax or rest tonight with everybody celebrating the win and just generally enjoying themselves. The party would rage on for quite a while, Val was sure. "What do you want to do?" There were about forty minutes before her birthday officially ended, but she wasn't so concerned about that. She just wanted to have fun. "I think I remember my brother saying that there was going to be a fireworks show at midnight," she added, recalling what she'd heard earlier.

Despite it sucking that Spain lost, they both at least still got to enjoy the game. In fact, some of the most exciting parts happened while Danny had been close to Val. If he was superstitious, he might have thought there was something to that. <br><br>“Yeah, same.” He easily spoke, agreeing with Val’s words about getting to witness the game in person. “That was really the best part,” he concurred. Well, that and being able to run into her, but he didn’t say that part aloud. <br><br>He laughed when Val agreed to go with him to get ice cream, confessing that she’d never say no to it. “I’ll make sure to remember that,” he chuckled, leading the way out of the bleachers and onto the stairs. Danny offered his arm to her and Val took his wrist in her hand. Even though it was likely just to be sure they wouldn’t get separated, he still felt the electricity of her skin on his. <br><br>Thankfully, it didn’t take them too long to reach a stand where they were selling ice cream. Danny pointed at it and led Val over there. Once in front of the stand, he rotated his hand, hoping Val wouldn’t take hers away. If she didn’t he’d gently spread his fingers against her palm and silently take a hold, lacing his fingers between hers. <br><br>It was an exploratory touch, and one that he had to explore. Just as he thought, the same electric rush hit him when their skin touched again. She mentioned that he had her all night and Danny wasn’t sure if his cheeks flushed at that statement or not, but his face certainly felt hot. Having her all night sounded like a fantasy, after all. <br><br>She asked him what he wanted to do and Danny shrugged a shoulder. He didn’t really have much of a plan. “I just want to give you the best birthday ever. But that was already sort of ruined because Spain lost,” he muttered, chuckling softly. The line moved just a little, so Danny took a step closer to the stand as Val mentioned fireworks at midnight. “Oh, yeah. I almost forgot about that. Do you want to watch those? That sounds like a perfect way to end the night,” he added, hoping he’d be able to sneak in a kiss during the show.

And when he rotated his hand, making it easier for her to properly hold, Val did just that, allowing his fingers to occupy the spaces between hers. His skin was warm to the touch. The contact was minimal, but it was still electrifying all the same. And it definitely made Val feel like despite the outcome of the match, this was absolutely going to be a fun night. <br><br>When Danny explained that he'd wanted to give her the best birthday, but that it was ruined because of Spain's loss, Val smiled a bit. It was touching to hear that from him, given that they'd met by chance. She couldn't have been happier that they managed to run into each other. "I wouldn't say it's ruined," Val assured him with a slightly wider smile. "I got to meet you. And I think the rest of the evening will make it even better." <br><br>Val stepped ahead when Danny did, now closer to the front of the stand. He asked her if she wanted to watch the fireworks, and Val nodded. "Yeah, I think that'd be a good way to end the day," she replied, stepping ahead once more as the person in front of them got to the front of the line. Having come from a background with no magic, Val was excited to see how magic would change the way fireworks was displayed. She'd seen bits and pieces, but she was sure that tonight would be much more grand with it being the World Cup Finals and all. <br><br>"We can take our ice cream and find a decent place to sit down in the grass," she suggested, them now having gotten to the front. Val asked for a scoop of chocolate for herself, before digging some loose change out of the pocket of her dress and then glancing over at Danny with a smile. "My treat."

I hope I can deliver.” <br><br>They stepped closer to the ice cream vendor when the line shortened. Val confirmed that the fireworks display sounded like a brilliant way to end her birthday night. “I think so too,” he concurred with a lopsided smile. He nodded at her plan to take their ice cream to the grass where they could sit and eat whilst watching the display. <br><br>“Sounds great,” he confirmed. Then, it was their turn to place their ice cream orders with the vendor. Danny released Val’s hand and gestured to her to place her order first.

It’s your birthday. You can’t buy anything, that’s like an unwritten rule on your birthday.” He insisted. He took his wallet out of his back pocket and pulled out some money.

She turned to face him now. “Pardon me for thinking that planning this trip for months was going to begin with you and I banging in this tent and end with you and I snogging at the fireworks display!” <br><br>Corinne continued, deciding to dig even deeper. “Pardon me for thinking that after literally months of not getting to be with you in the way that I want, that this was the perfect event for us to finally be together in my tent, so that we could finally have some time to enjoy one another, like we used to.” She sighed, her hands falling to her sides. “Maybe this is the problem,” she chuckled an angry sound. “Maybe we just don’t enjoy each other anymore.”

Corinne rolled her eyes and shook her head, once again folding her arms over her chest. He went on, talking about how she was the only one acting as if it was too late. She held a hand out and made a face at him, as if to imply that it obviously <em>was</em> too late because the night had been ruined already. <br><br>Sure, he had a point about how neither of them cared about the actual game itself, but it wasn’t about the game! It was about the effort she had put in to finally getting some time to spend with him, and he blew it from the very start. He questioned if she didn’t trust him because she jumped to the conclusion that he had been with some other girl. Corinne merely sighed, her face hiding her emotions. <br><br>Frankly, it had been so easy for her to cheat on him. With how frequently Ibrahim was busy… the same must have been true for him. <br><br>He accused her of not trusting him rather than not enjoying each other’s company anymore and then reminded her that he loved her. Corinne looked at him sadly, her dark eyes meeting his briefly, before guilt caused her gaze to falter and lower. “I know… and I wish that was enough… but it just isn’t anymore, Ibrahim.” <br><br>Corinne let out a long sigh, her skin glowing in the yellowish lighting that she had magically cast in the tent. Suddenly, she felt too overwhelmed to deal with this argument anymore. So, she found a chair and plopped herself into it, staring at nothingness in the distance. “I want you to go. You’ve already ruined the night. There’s no salvaging it. And I’m afraid there’s no salvaging us, either.” As an afterthought, she added, “you can take your tea with you.” She absently pointed at the tea she had prepared for him, hours prior.

As she dug out some change, Danny was quick to protest, insisting that because it was her birthday, she couldn't pay. <br><br>"But—" There was no room to argue because he promptly took out his wallet to pay for the ice creams. Chuckling softly, Val relented. "Okay, okay, fine," she said once her laughter died down a bit. She accepted her cup of ice cream from Danny and grinned. "Thank you." She wasted no time digging right in, using the small spoon to scrape off a little from the top. Chocolate was always her go-to because it rarely disappointed, and this was no different. <br><br>Danny suggested she pick out a spot for them to sit down, and she nodded. "Yeah, c'mon." She gestured for him to follow along as she took them past the other vendors and toward the large grass field that already had several people sitting down, scattered throughout, waiting for the fireworks to begin. Val found a decent spot in the middle that didn't feel too crowded on all sides so she gestured to it before making herself comfortable on the ground with her legs stretched out in front of her. <br><br>It was getting a little warmer once again, so she took her jersey off, leaving her in just the dress, before keeping it off to the side and then taking another bite of her ice cream. "So," she began, once they were both settled and she was trying to reach for some of the melted ice cream in her cup. "Do you think we'd be doing something like this if we hadn't met today?" She asked him curiously, glancing over in between to gauge his expression. "Not watching fireworks," she added for clarification with a soft laugh. "I mean... going on a date." <br><br>Things had come together rather seamlessly with it being the quidditch finals and her birthday and them just making plans to hang out after the match, but Val wondered if, like her, he'd ever thought about it before.

He watched her sit down and remained silent as he waited for her to make up her mind. He dreaded her words because he still believed they could save their relationship, and while he anticipated them at this point, they nevertheless hurt him big time. <br><br>He did not even glance at the tea she mentioned and just stared at her, a look of sadness on his face. <br><br><strong>"As you wish,"</strong> he simply said, walking to the bathroom and grabbing his clothes.

It only made sense that someone else paid for the treats on her birthday, after all. She thanked him and Danny grinned a little wider. “No need to thank me,” he murmured. Danny grabbed a napkin for each of them, handing one to Val and tucking the other one against his cup as they walked on toward the grassy area.<br><br>Once Val found a spot to sit, Danny followed her there and sat beside her.

She nodded in agreement when he said that things turned out to be much better than he expected because she felt pretty much the same way. She hadn't known she'd run into Danny over here, and even if she had, there was no way for her to have predicted that they'd be spending the evening after the match together. <br><br>Her smile widened when Danny then mentioned that, had they not met here today, he'd have asked her out when they returned to Hogwarts for the coming year. So he'd been thinking about it too. Val might have said something if she knew there was a possibility of him feeling the same way as her, but it didn't matter what they didn't do. They were here together now, and Val was glad for it. <br><br>At his question, Val pause in taking another spoonful of her ice cream to answer, perhaps a bit too quickly. "Yes," she told him, before chuckling softly when she realised that she could have waited for him to actually finish the question. She'd just heard the first part of what he was saying and Val already knew the answer. "I would've definitely said yes. So, you know, if you want to still ask when we get back, feel free," she told him with a playful look in her eyes. She'd happily jump at the opportunity to spend more of such moments with him. <br><br>Val opened her mouth to say something else when she heard a sudden loud sound from above. "Oh, the fireworks are starting!" She turned her gaze away from Danny and toward the sky as streams of light shot higher up into the sky and burst, shattering into thousands of dazzling, colourful sparks.

He had just taken a bite of ice cream himself, so he had to hold a hand up in front of his mouth as he worked on gulping it down and then laughing afterward, so as to not choke. <br><br>“Good,” he nodded, still grinning broadly. “I was hoping for a yes.” Val went on to say that if he felt so inclined to ask her out again once they were at Hogwarts, he could certainly do so. “Oh, I can?” He asked playfully. Danny spoke without really thinking then, though his words were entirely true. “Maybe we can just make it official and then I don’t need to ask you out anymore at all.” <br><br>The fireworks were starting just then, a loud explosive noise coming from the sky and distracting their attention from their conversation. Val mentioned the starting of the fireworks show, but it was all he heard before another firework exploded in the sky and another followed after that one. Soon the entire blackened sky was filled with bursts of popping color. <br><br>Danny leaned over to Val and whispered in her ear, “I think this is a pretty perfect moment for a first kiss…” He leaned back just enough to smile at her before bringing his hand to her chin to help tilt it back just a little, displaying her lips for him. He leaned in fully and sealed his lips with hers, gentle yet hot.

It felt nice knowing she could make him laugh, and she couldn't help but match his smile with one of her own as he recovered and proceeded to tell her that her answer was pretty much what he'd been hoping to hear. <br><br>He went on to suggest that they could just make things official, and then there'd be no need to ask each other out on dates, and Val was a little surprised by his words that for a moment, she blanked on what to say even if in her head she knew <em>exactly</em> what she wanted to say. She was briefly distracted, though, by the fireworks that suddenly erupted in the sky. The brilliant colours in the sky held her attention for a few moments, even if in the back of her mind Val was still thinking of how to go back to responding what Danny had suggested. <br><br>For the time being, though, her attention shifted to something else when she felt Danny leaning in and whispering in her ear. A smile lit up her expression as she heard what he said, and the fireworks were forgotten as she turned away from the sky and toward Danny just in time for him to capture her lips in a kiss. The ice cream in Val's hand could have melted, or spilled, or been plucked out of her grasp by a bird for all she cared. Everything else just fell away a she returned the kiss, lifting her free hand to cup the back of his neck. <br><br>As her fingers brushed against the ends of his hair, Valerie could think of nothing but how good his lips felt against hers. And though she wanted it to continue, Val eventually pulled away from the kiss, just a little to be able to meet his gaze. "That... was a pretty good birthday gift," she told him with a grin, her cheeks flushed. "And what you said earlier, about making things official? I'd say that sounds pretty good to me. Because it's easier, of course, and neither of us have to keep asking the other out," Val added, failing miserably at trying to sound casual. How could she when she felt like she was on cloud nine?

Either way, the explosive sounds of fireworks popped and crackled in the sky high above them just then, essentially interrupting Danny’s thoughts, at least for the moment. <br><br>After she watched in awe for a moment, Danny had the thought that this moment was too romantic to pass up and decided that he wanted to lean in and kiss her then and there. Before the moment had passed, he leaned in and stopped himself from thinking. Instead, he tilted her head by the chin with a gentle cupping of his hand, and pressed his lips to hers gently, yet deeply, and long enough for her to know that there was more where this first kiss came from.<br><br>Her hand reached around to weave her fingers through his hair, which made him shudder ever so briefly in response. He had all but forgotten about his ice cream until Val pulled away and murmured about how good a birthday gift that was. He chuckled, noticing the flush of her cheeks. Danny looked down and remembered his ice cream, which he scooped another spoonful of and ate readily as Val mentioned that making things official sounded good to her. <br><br>“Good,” he excitedly mumbled. She tried to make it sound casual, like it was a decision that sounded ideal because it made the most logical sense to make things official rather than to continually have to ask each other out. “Yeah, that’s what I was thinking,” he chuckled, before finishing the final few spoonfuls of his ice cream and setting it aside. Looking back up to the sky, he wrapped an arm around Val’s shoulder and scooted closer to her, looking up at the display while the bursts of light shined on their faces.
