Gryffindor Dressing Rooms

Hugo walked into the Gryffindor locker room and smiled at his team mates for he was so excited about playing his first quidditch match. "So is everyone ready to beat the snot out of Ravenclaw?"Hugo asked them softly as she asked over towards his locker which was not to far from Sophia's their captain. "Oh hey Lils, I didn't know you were on the team!"said Hugo smiling at his cousin. As he changed into his robe and put his Keeper patches on he looked around to see the rest of team wasn't there. "So were just missing two people right?"Hugo asked counting how many people were here.

Nikki arrived at the Gryffindor dressing rooms and was worried that she'd missed the game or something. She'd been late to alot of things lately. It was quite embarrassing. She was in her Gryffindor Quidditch Uniform, holding her broom and had her hair tied in a nice tight bun. "Sorry I am late, it's been my thing lately, hasn't it?" Nikki asked no one in particular and wasn't expecting an answer. "But better late than never, right?" Nikki added. Nikki took a seat on the bench and waited to be yelled at by her sister, who now, is her quidditch captain but Nikki heard that she was sub captain somewhere... "I'll try and be earlier next time, but no garantees.." Nikki apologized.

Aurora noticed people coming in. She sat there starting to look sicker than when there was only a few people there. Looking paler than ever, she stood up, grabbed her crutches, and went out of the dressing room for a while to get some fresh air before the match. She hoped no one worried about her. It was real imbarassing to had to of leave just because of shyness.

Sophia read Aurora's note and nodded. "It's ok Aurora I understand, just keep writing notes to me if you have and question ok?"Sophia asked her softly. Sophia smiled at Hugo and Nikki as they came in. "Well hello Hugo and Nikki sis, so glad you can join us this lovely and fine morning."said Sophia smiling at them. "Ok so, all we are missing is Odette?"Sophia asked her team mate. Sophia hoped she would show so she could give her team her speech before the game started. Sophia turned to Nikki. "Good thing you decided to show up, if you didn't I have to ask the subs to take your place!"said Sophia. "Try to be here at lease on time, even if I have to get you myself ok?"Sophia asked her softly.

Aurora stood outside breathing deeply. Life wasnt going to be the same after this match. She had to go outside just because of shyness and know veryone here knows that she cant handle being around so many strangers. She sighed a slow deep sigh.

Elijah ran down to the Quidditch pitch, eager to watch the game. Okay, so that wasn’t true. He was more interested in seeing Lily and he planned on doing so even if it meant breaking the rules. Majere would probably have him cursed or something equally horrible but he didn’t care too much. He wanted to see her. He jumped off of one of the boulders jutting out of the grass and propelled himself into the air. He changed into his Animagus form on the way and landed easily on the grass before running on all fours down to the Quidditch pitch. Once inside the actual stands he bounced up the stairs to the Gryffindor changing rooms. The door was open a tad so Elijah gathered his weight and pushed himself against the door. It opened and the cat snuck in. He spotted Lily talking with the other girls and he smiled to himself. He crawled under the benches and brushed up against her legs. Purrs began to rumble from his chest and he smiled a little to himself. He closed his eyes and began to move around her legs, brushing up against them. He was a fully grown Siberian tiger yet he was acting like a sodding house cat. The things he did for women. Eli stopped and nudged her hand with his head. He licked her hand and nuzzled it gently with his head.

(Hurray for Eli breaking the rules to see Lily!)

Alexander walked into the gryffindor dressing room dressed for a quiddage game. he had his broom in one hand and a beater bat in the other. though he wasn't the same passition as his father had once been for the team he was still on the time unlike his sister. he was hopeing to make his father proud.

"I really am sorry, I didn't mean to be late, I thought I was running on time!" Nikki had tried to convince her sister. Nikki sighed and looked around at her team mates. She was thinking about how it had been a while since she played quidditch, however, it should be easy, just looking for a sneaky gold snitch. She was sure that today was Gryffindor's victory. Nikki watched Elijah, come in and he was breaking the rules but Nikki couldn't care less, she wasn't the one breaking the rules, she was the one breaking people's hearts and had better things to worry about who got into trouble and such.

Lily was standing silently, her mind focused on memorizing the tatics she'd learnt over the years when suddenly she felt a cat...not a tiger, brushing up against her legs. 'How perculiar.' She thought gazing down as it rubbed itself against her hand and she stroked it unconciously, kneeling down to it's level and gazing at it with intruige. Though it took only one gaze into it's eyes to notice something familiar abotu this 'tiger', she knew those eyes from anywhere. "Elijah? Do you know how much trouble you could get into?" Lily whispered furiously, still stroking his head.

Lily now understood how Elijah had snuck up on her at the party, he'd been in his apparent animagus form. Now Lily was immensily jealous, she'd always had a secret urge to learn that skill. Still, the sweet act distracted her from her envy, a bright smile on her face as she shook her head in amusement.

(Aww, it's so adorable : D )

Elijah instinctively moved his head into Lily’s hand, silently begging for more. He was definitely a soppy little animal but he couldn’t help but find it amusing. He licked her wrist and bared his teeth in a feline smile. He didn’t care how much trouble he got into because it would be worth it in the end. He’d only be really screwed if it was Wilson coming in to give his students a last minute pep talk but Eli really hoped he didn’t. Eli started to purr again and he closed his eyes. He was really beginning to understand now why his magic liked cats so much. It was definitely useful but he was hardly inconspicuous. He looked up at Lily and licked her wrist again. He was in a playful mood and definitely had an urge to play with a huge ball of yarn. He sat down obediently and lifted his head to show her a chocker around his neck with his name hanging from the end. It looked more like a collar and it definitely felt one. He liked it though and wanted to show her. Or maybe the cat did. He wasn’t sure so he just nuzzled her hand again.
