It felt odd to Rosalie to be working her way through the crowded stands instead of on the pitch with her broom. It felt down right traitorous for the stands she was working her way through to be Gryffindor's section.

She spotted Hermione further up in the stands, beside her sat a boy she recognized to be Neville and... was that Luna? What the bloody hell did she have on her head?

Luna was the first to spot her, jumping up and waving excitedly. Rose gave a tiny wave in acknowledgement and made the rest of the way towards them.

"You made it!" Hermione stood and hugged Rosalie.

Rosalie laughed, hugging the Gryffindor girl back, "I told you I would, didn't i?"

Hermione released Rose from the hug, and gestured for her to sit between her and Luna. Rose leaned forward to say hi to Neville on the other side of Hermione.

"Hey Longbottom, long time no see."

Neville blushed, but to Rosalies surprise he actually spoke to her, "Hi Rose. Red is definitely more your color than green."

Rose rolled her eyes playfully, "Har har, very funny." She looked over to Luna, "I thought I'd be the only non-Gryffindor showing team spirit. I've been out done by the Ravenclaw it seems."

Luna smiled, touching her hat, "You like it? I made it." Luna got excited, "I can make you one too!"

For a moment Rosalie cringed on the inside of the though of wearing something so ridiculous... then she realized, why ethereal he'll shouldn't she? And sure it's cooky and over the top, but it's not ridiculous. "You know what Luna, I'd love that. I'll even pay you for your hard work."

Luna hummed and watched the field dreamily, "I don't want your galleons... although if you pay me in sugar quills and Dirigible Plums I wouldn't say no."

Rose chuckled and glanced to Hermione, who just giggled back and shook her head.

Then, the student sections went wild. First, the Gryffindor team flew in one by one, racing around the stadium.

Harry, ever the confident boy, flew over the stands and pumped his fist to rile up the crowd.

Around Rose, the students chanted, "Potter! Potter!"

Ginny followed his lead, except she spotted Rose and a grin broke on her face. She elbowed Harry hard enough to send him to the side a bit, but he quickly gained control and looked to where Ginny was pointing.

His showboat grin turned genuine, and he pumped his fist one last time, as if to signal to Rosalie, 'Let's do this!'

Rose noticed that Ron maneuvered straight for the goal post when he entered the field, and the poor boy looked green.

Hermione noticed Rosalie looking at him and leaned over, "Ron's a bit nervous. Although, Harry slipped him liquid luck at breakfast this morning." Granger sounded miffed about this last part.

For a moment, Rosalie was scandalized. That was cheating! But she studied Ron. He wasn't showing the typical signs of the use of Felix. No, not at all. "Actually, Hermione." Rosalie said, amused, "I don't think he truly did."

Hermione accepted that, knowing darn well that Rosalie had used her fair share of Liquid Luck judging on her collection of it.

The slytherin team came in, but they flew in a v formation, ducking and whirling. The Slytherin stands went wild, and her heart twinged hearing The cheers and seeing the blurs of green reminded her that only a few short months ago- or 100 years ago, she supposed- that those green blurs were her and Sebastian, whooping and cheering.
