Hallowen Feast

(It's been Halloween for over a week. We might as well have the feast and be done with it. -_-)

Rachel sat down at the Ravenclaw table, still decked out in her Queen of Hearts costume. As she sat down, Rachel smoothed out her dress and smiled at herself. She was sure of herself that she looked the best out of everyone else tonight, and everyone was casting her admiring looks.

She than realized something, however. She was at least two hours early, no one was there, no teachers, and the feast had certainly had not begun.

Of course this would happen to her.

Kaitlyn opened the Great Hall's doors and stepped in. She spotted Rachel, and sat down next to her.
"Hello."

Rachel turned to Katie and grinned. "Hey, how are you?" But than, she frowned a little. "I came here two hours early. Do you wanna go for a walk or something, since we have nothing else to do?"

Kaitlyn grinned, too, "Mmm I dont mind." She hoped that they wouldnt go near the hospital wing, or the quiddich pitch. She stood up, and tied to make her way over the bench... but she got caught and fell... epicly fell. Her he ad softly hit the floor with a small boom. "Ack..." she said, rubbing her head.

"Oh crap!" said Rachel leaning over to hold out her hand. "Are you OK? You really hit your head hard?"

"No," I said, taking Rachel's hand, and pulling myself up, "I get blows liek that al lthe time, nothing major, seriously." She rubbed her head, gently. Then suddenly she looked around and thought I hope Fred didn't see that.... She looked up with a smile on her face and said, "Let's go?"

"Oh, OK. Do you wanna go the Qudiditch Pitch or something? I saw the teams practicing out there earlier, and I wanna see Hufflepuff's new seeker and all of them!" said Rachel smiling exctiedly.

Katie's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She got silent for a moment. "Uh..." she started to say, "I dont know if I should go there..." She rubbed her head.

"Why not? People can go watch?" Rachel grabbed her Katie's arm and tugged it. "Common, it'll be fun!"

Serenity ran in, stumbling over to the Ravenclaw table- wearing her blue bunny suit, all decked out with heels, bunny ears, tie, and cuffs. Her hair was back down, and she was grinning again. Grabbing a huge hamburger, she took three bites, stuffed some fries in her mouth, and ran over to Rachel, swallowing quickly. "Hey! Whose that?"

"Uh... Sure...", Katie said in a worried tone. I hope Fred isn't coming... in case if I'm well.. clumsy again. I want to rejoin the team... but I'm scared out of my life. I what if I mess up? What if break those bones again? The had to be magicaly mended. I cant take that type of pain... not know. She looked at her feet.

[spell check please.]

"Well don't ignore me! I'm not wearing this getup to get ignored!" Serenity crossed her arms, tapping a heel at Katie and Rachel.
[Oh calm down. No offense to the person that needs spellcheck, but Kat's not the worst speller on the forum.]

[Hmmmmmmm?]

"Well, this is Katie. She's in our house. Don't you remember her? Anyway, that's not the point. We're going to the Quidditch pitch to watch the teams practice. Wanna come, since the feast doesn't start in a couple of hours?" Rachel said all of this really fast.

"Hi. Would you l-l-like to join us? Were walking to the-" The words stopped, and a knot felt like it was in Katie's throat, stopping the words from coming out.
"The-", she tried again.

"Quidditch Pitch." finished Rachel quickly, and she tugged at Katie's arm. "Now, common, lets go! They'll end they're practice soon if we don't hurry up!" And she made an attempt to run off, pulling at Katie's arm.

All Katie did was look down the whole way. Haunting memories filled her head, How it all happened....

Katie was a beater. A stone hard beater. She always made risky moves to save the game... or save someone from getting hit. Although she wasn't always good at them, she kept trying. One game it was storming, although the crowds could see gray-black figures zooming around. Katie was flying around the quiddich pitch, looking for the bludger. She couldnt find it. She kept zooming around when she saw it, about to hit the seeker, and the seeker was on their way to the snitch. That's when a gut feeling came in. She zoomed forward and tried to swing at the ball.. But she missed, and the bludger hit her in the chest and knocked her down, way down. She was high in the air at the time. She crumbled infront of the stands against the small wall in front of it. Her right arm was brokem, as were several ribs and her chest swelled with pain. She also hit her head pretty hard, and she had a contusion for days. Though the Ravenclaws won that match, she would never be the same.

"Katie, you okay?" asked Rachel waving a hand in front of her face. "You seem a bit pale. Ah well!" her grinned returned to her face. "Some fresh air, and food later will do you some good later, and you'll be all better. Now anyway, lets get going!" And, with a final strong tug, she was off running.

Katie suddenly realized what Rachel was doing and she ran off, tugging behind.I need to make the team sometime... She thought, as she ran along.

"BYE! I'M SERENITY!"

(*pokes Quidditch Pitch thread*)

Libby arrived a few minutes before the feast was going to start, and the Great Hall was starting to fill up. She sat at the Hufflepuff table, tapping her foot, waiting for the feast to start.

Serenity plopped down in her usual seat, enjoying the halloweeney effect.

Max walked in as well, to meet with his friends. He noticed Libby, and caught her eye for a minute, but he didn't say anything. Max was still too embarrassed about the whole incident with their braces, and he decided to avoid her for a little while. At least until one of them gets theirs off, anyway.

So, he sat down, and began chatting with Dean Thomas And Sean Finnigan.
