It's Quidditch season! First match of the Season!
'OH!! Today is going to be fun!!' Rapunzel Squeal in huge delight jumping up and down clapping her hands rapidly.
'Yea Quidditch and Halloween couldn't get any better can it?' Astrid smirked turning to face Jack and Merida. The most Hardcore Quidditch fan that they have ever seen.
'GRYFFINDOR!!!!!!!' Merida scream at her top of her lungs. Into Jack's face, who is currently equally Excited even though his house is not playing. Today match is Gryffindor versus Hufflepuff.
'Hey Anna! Elsa is playing right?' Hiccup walked up and questioned. As the group made their way to the Great Hall for breakfast.
'Yea! She is the Seeker if I am not wrong...'
'WOW!! Elsa is a Seeker!?' Jack eyes widen in amazement. (Who Knew?)
'Yea, apparently her every keen eyes' Anna mumbled.
'Well, at least we have someone to cheer for' Jack grin widely.
Roaring of each houses cheer could be heard from the bottom of the staircase.
'WE ARE GRYFFINDOR!!! WE ARE GYFFINDOR!! BRAVE AS A LION, WE WILL CATCH YOU IN OUR JAW!!' The Gryffindor table erupted with roaring cheers . “GRYFFINDOR!!! GRYFFINDOR!!! GRYFFINDOR!!”
Meanwhile at the Hufflepuff table it was equally rowdy. 'HUFFLEPUFF!!! HUFFLEPUFF!!! HUFFLEPUFF!!' Erupted from the Hufflepuff table.
'HAHAH! SANDY!! YOU ARE GOING ZOWN!' Professor North Boasted proudly. Professor Sanderson stood up front puffing his cheek returning a challenging glare twitching his finger mouthing the word no no.
'Wow.. even the house teachers are hyped up to challenging each other' Mavis whispered to Hiccup while the group stood awkwardly at the entrance of the hall. Before making a decision to eat at the Ravenclaw table.
'WE ARE SO HYPER!!' Tuffnut Shouted at the Hufflepuff table. Following by a loud roar and cheer.
'YEA!! EVERYONE THROW YOUR FIST IN THE AIR AND SHOUT!!!' He quickly add on. Causing a cheer war between both houses.
'Well we better join our side' Anna grin before dragging Mavis to the Hufflepuff table. Fishleg quickly follow along not wanting to be left behind.
'We will meet later after this is over!!' Anna shouted across while making her way to the Hufflepuff table.
'Aye! See yar!!, na'ow e'if yew two would excuse us..' Merida stood up with a bowl of cereal and drag Astrid along to the the Gryffindor table.
'Well. I'll just leave you both here, I have a girl to impress' Snotlout announce as he made his way over to where Astrid and Merida are seated.
'Punzy,What about you?' Jack asked while taking a spoon full of cereal.
'Oh.. it's rather hard.. but I will be cheering for both... I’m not into sports anyway. Want me to paint your faces?!' Rapunzel exclaimed taking a slice of toast and a small piece of apple to feed Pascal.
'Sounds good to me! A little of both for me too... and Hiccup!' Jack smirked at Hiccup who is very occupied with eating at the moment and feeding some bread to toothless who is still in the his pocket. 'Take it as a yes then' Jack replied for hiccup.
'okay then! I'll see you guys later.. I gotta go to the Hufflepuff table.' Rapunzel stood up and made her way to the Gryffindor table to wish Eugene good luck to the game later before making her way over to the Hufflepuff side to cheer with her house.
'Well, that just leave the two of us then.' Jack sigh to hiccup who seems to be less occupied.
'Yup.. so who are you going to cheer for?' Hiccup replied stirring the bowl of milk aimlessly.
'both.. no point being bias...... You?' jack replied taking a bite off the toast.
'Not really interested about sports.. but yea I’ll support for both house too..' looking up to give jack a toothy smile. Getting a smirk in return.
'Good thing exams are over for now.... We can relax till the end of Christmas' Hiccup let out a relieve sigh. 'Any plans for this period?'
'Hmm... I was hoping you could teach me new things... oh hey.. I learned something really cool but It will have to take time for me to master it..' Jack whispered to hiccup. As a grin slide across his face, excited to show Hiccup his new trick.
'Sounds great.. a little hint would be good'
'You'll see for yourself.. Maybe later after Quidditch?' Jack ask raising an eyebrow at Hiccup.
'Surreee... impress me then' Grinning back at Jack.
'Oh this sis so cool!!!' Rapunzel squeal in delight jumping up and down from her spot in the students viewing stands. Cheers , Clapping and excitement filled the entire Quidditch Pit. Roars of cheering from the competing houses, stands of respective house colours with a little mix of colours here and there.
'Who pain' y'er faces? They look ge'ud!' Merida grin looking at Hiccup and Jack's face. On Jack's face A Red and Gold flag was painted on his Left cheek while on his right cheek a Yellow and Black Flag was painted. On Hiccup face, a Lion and a Badger was painted on his right cheek covering half his face.
'Oh! Punzy painted for you both too!' Mavis exclaim as she and Anna joined them on the stand. Both Anna and Mavis have a matching set of sunflower painted on both their right cheeks. Matching it with their Hufflepuff Scarf.
'Hey guys! Sorry I took awhile..' Rapunzel panted. Explaining that she made her way here in a rush. Just in time to join the rest.
'AND NOW!! WHAT ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!' Announced the commenter. 'LETS WELCOME BOTH HOUSES TO THE FIELD!!!' The entire Quidditch area erupted into cheers to welcome the players from both team.'AND FROM THE GRYFFINDOR TEAM WE HAVE!! Desmond Weasley, Tiffany Jackson and Jason Potter as the Gryffindor team chaser! Trevor Hartment and Cindy Thompson as the Beater! Henry Bones as the Keeper!! And Lastly WITH THREE WIN IN A ROW AS SEEKER WE HAAVVEEE!!!!!!!!! EUGENE FITZHERBERT!!!!!!!!' Gryffindors from around the stand erupted into loud roar of cheers and clapping.

And lastly Elsa Arendelle as the Seeker!! LET SEE IF THE HUFFLEPUFF CAN BEAT THE GRYFFINDOR THIS YEAR!!'
Walking to the centre of the field is the Flying teacher Professor Hooch. Making sure both team play by the rules before kicking open a box sending out two Bludgers. The Golden Snitch made it's way up to both seeker before taking off to return later during the game. Professor Hooch held the Quaffle with the whistle ready in her mouth. In a split instant the game started as the Quaffle was thrown into the sky, chaser snatching for the Quaffle violently.
After a good 30 minutes into the game With Gryffindor leading with 30-20 . Both seekers very nearly tired from dodging and looking closely for the Golden Snitch. The sky is pretty clouded which makes the spotting of the Golden snitch much harder.
Just then both Seekers notice something small speeding at the speed of light around the arena, without wasting any second for either seekers, Elsa and Eugene dive down to the warzone of flying Bludgers and Quaffle.
'It seems like both seekers have spotted the Golden Snitch!' The commenter scream! Which got the entire audience up on their feet and start to Cheer for their supporting houses.
'COME ON ELSA!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!' Anna scream at the top of her lungs towards her Sister who just flew past them.
'YEW CAN DO A'IT EUGENE!!!' Merida scream competing with Anna
'Wow.. at least someone is having fun just by watching..' Astrid lean over to whisper to Hiccup.
'Well yea.. she is really fan of Quidditch after all' Hiccup shrugged. Astrid lean back to see how the others are. Jack was constantly jumping up and down looking for the eyeing on the golden snitch, Mavis and Rapunzel clasped their hands together smiling eagerly wondering who would catch the snitch. Well the Twins are at the back screaming random things to the crowd getting them even more rowdy while Fishleg is just taking notes of the game.
'AND THERE SHE GOES!!' the commenter scream into the mic. Everyone turn their attention onto the Seekers. Both of them were Broom to Broom speeding up and down the arena. Inches away from catching the snitch, dodging Bludgers flying their way. Everything went so fast the tension was high like really weed smoking high!
Both the seekers are now high up into the air chasing for the snitch! Rising up higher and close to the touch the clouds. A Bludger was send flying up knocking Elsa's broom. Stopping her in her chase. The crowd watch in tension hoping she would be safe, as falling from that height would be fatal. Anna grasp cover her mouth praying very hard nothing to happen to Elsa. Elsa climbed back on holding on to her left shoulder which seems to be very badly injured or broken. Pausing for a moment before diving downwards.
'What is she doing?' North held up his binoculars.' OH HOHO! SANDY GUESS WHO IS WINNING NOW!' North gave a hearty laughter slapping his own thigh. As professor Sanderson keep on watching ignoring North. Hoping that Elsa know what she is doing.
'Now just you wait and see, the game is not over yet Professor North' Headmaster Freeman said as he rest his head on his right hand. Eyeing on Elsa.
'Now just wait for it...' Elsa Mumbled to herself. 'Wait for it... wait for it....', Stroking her Firebolt like it was a horse. 'Conceal.... don't feel... put on a show.. make one wrong move and everyone will know....'
'It's mine now!!' Eugene Exclaim with his right arm stretch out, inches away from catching the snitch.. in an instant right before he could close his hands the snitch dove down wards and turning.. causing Eugene to lose it in his sight. Searching frantically around the arena and spotted Elsa on the move. Immediately diving down to follow her, but notice that the she was not chasing anything. Deciding to take a higher ground for a slightly better view and hopefully a better chance to grab it. Keeping his eye on Elsa and an eye out for the snitch. Focusing hard before spotting the Snitch near the keeper of the Gryffindor. Wasting no time he went at full speed towards the goal hoops. 'Almost there... Almost there!!' Being so focus on the snitch and not keeping an eye out for anything flying towards him.
Just then a Bludger knock Eugene's Nimbus 1700 sending him spinning. Figthing hard to regain his balance from the heavy spinning and went back to catching the snitch. Losing very precious time to catch the snitch.
'ITS OVER!!!! HUFFLEPUFF WON!!! ELSA HAS THE GOLDEN SNITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' The Commenter scream at the top of his lungs into the mic. Students everywhere erupted into a loud cheer even Gryffindor students. It was a very intense game between both houses. Elsa raise her right arm with the Golden Snitch in her hands showing it proudly to the the crowd.
'Aw.. what zhe shame.. but it is szill good eh sandy?' North said petting Sandy in his back. Who return with a proud smile. Before doing one of his very special trick. Sandy stood at the tip of the Teacher's stand, rubbing both his hands together before throwing golden sands into the air!! Taking form of a Badger, as if it was alive! The golden badger jump around the arena before making it's way down to Elsa who was being carried by all the players of both team. The Badger dance around Elsa playfully and Joyfully before leaping into the sky and explode into grains of golden sand raining down on all the players. Congratulating them of a game really well played.
'THIS CALL FOR A CELEBRATION!!' North boomed his voiced across the Arena.
Erupting the whole school into wild cheering and applause. Students began to make their way back to their Common room to change and head to the great hall. While Jack nudge at Hiccup signalling him to meet up after washing the paint off their face and changing to more comfortable clothings.
'Congratulation Elsa!!!' Rapunzel hugged her tight before remembering her left shoulder got injured.
'Oops sorry... how is your shoulder?' Rapunzel Back off immediately
'It's fix, Madam Pomfrey is pretty good with this.' Elsa shrugged and rotated her left shoulder.
'Thank You dear' Replied Madam Pomfrey as she walked towards Elsa to do one final check. She is wearing a red and white robe with a red cross sewed on to the white part of her robe on her left collar. Wearing a nurse hat with a big red cross printed on it. For someone who is rather old she is actually quite short... maybe a few inches taller then professor tooth.
'Will she be fine?' Anna asked nervously.
'Of course dear.. and by the way.. congratulation on winning just now, rather impressive' Madam Pomfrey eyed Elsa as she flick her wand and remove the bandages around Elsa's arm.
'AYE! Da't a'is very impressive!' Merida immediately jump forward and held Elsa's hand.
'Thank you' Elsa replied ' Now shall we make our way back? Both houses are going to throw a huge celebration together' The girls thanked Madam Pomfrey before making their way back to their common room. As Elsa stepped in to the Hufflepuff Dorm, cheers and Applauses were the first thing she could hear. Instantly becoming the centre of attention.
'LETS HEAR AROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR ELSA!!' Rachel Finnigan the Quidditch Capitan exclaim standing on the a table close to the fire pit. With Professor Sanderson clapping gleefully with a big smile on his face adding on with two golden hands of sand clapping above his head.
As Merida stepped through the portrait she was expecting a sad and gloomy atmosphere but to her surprise the entire house was also celebrating! With professor North laughing about and making a joke out of every quidditch member and their mistake. No one took it as an insult but took it as a lesson and enjoy the time.
'NOW LEZ ALL HEAR IT FOR TEAM GRYFFINDOR!! HAHA!!' Professor north stood up from his chair with a mug held high.
'We will get them next time!!' Desmond responded swinging his arm in a L shape to the other side of him. With a Big smile on their face
'OHHOHHOHO You will!!' Professor north took a big gulp from the mug. 'Now all of you, go get change and be on your way to zhe great hall! We have someone very important returning to'zay! And try to Zress to zhe occasion!' North bellowed before making his way out
The great hall has been decorated to fit with the Halloween Feast. Floating Jack -O -Lanterns filled the hall instead of the usual floating candles. Students making their way in and getting ready for dinner. Majority of them dress for the occasion, some of them have their witch pointy hat, others have a white sheet over their head, which I have no idea how they are going to eat later with their costume.
Rapunzel painted her own face base on ' Corpse Bride' (God I love that movie ). Mavis wore a handmade cape that reach till her waist, being a vampire (Duh when you have Dracula in your name)
Elsa dressed herself as the Snow Queen (Double Duh)
Anna came as the little red riding hood.
Jack wore casual bare footed as usual but he had Rapunzel to paint his face as a zombie too. To match with Rapunzel as the Corpse Groom
Hiccup and Astrid came as Werewolves with the wolf ear and tail along with the other Berkians. Wolves travel in a pack right?
Merida came as a bear, wearing the bear ears and bear claws.
Everyone sat at each of their respective house table, awaiting the Guest of honour to arrive. Excitement is in the air, people were chatting non- stop among themselves.
Astrid scan the room to watch where everyone was seated. Noting that Hiccup sat next to Heather while Jack sat with Snotlout and Liana at the very corner of the Slytherin table while at the Hufflepuff table the rest were seated at the very front of the table.
Everyone kept quite as the Headmaster stood up to make an announcement.
'Now this have been an eventful day! First of all Congratulation to Hufflepuff for winning today's Quidditch match, and also to Gryffindor for putting up a very good fight. Secondly, it is really nice to see most of you came here dress according to the occasion. We will be picking the best costume later! And lastly, let us stand for the arrival of our Head Mistress. Head Mistress Minerva Mcgonagall!' Headmaster Morgan Announced.
The door to the great hall open. Swinging gently to the walls. Students watch in amazement as a Lady in a Black robe and a pointy hat walked in. With Professor North escorting her to the front. Following behind a tall slim lady in a yellow fur robe with a auburn brown pony tail along with some golden highlights at the side of her hair trailing down to the tip of her pony tail. Her eyes glister in a calm shade of Gray. The sound of her heels clicking against the marble tarmac echoed through the hall.
Everyone watch the ladies to the front of the Great Hall.
Headmaster Morgan was already standing in front ready to greet Headmistress Minerva. First years had no idea what the headmistress was like, all of them expected her to be a cold and scary lady. Proving them wrong, Headmistress Minerva hug the Headmaster and each of the professors.
'Hello students of Hogwarts' Headmistress Minerva spoked in an English accent with such gentleness It brought a sense of calm to everyone in the room.' Hello First Years... I am pretty sure none of you have heard of me, But do not worry all of you will have a chance to interact with me' She said as a smile slide across her face, the smile was so warm that it lighten up the tense atmosphere. ' Hogwarts, I am home' As she spoked these words, students from year 2 and above all stood up and started clapping. Giving the headmistress a very warm welcome home greeting.
'Now.. now... I bet all of you are very hungry, before we began I would like to first congratulate Hufflepuff on winning the Quidditch match today against Gryffindor, I heard you guys put up a tough fight.. Good job to both team! And 5 points each to both the houses! Now lets feast!!' the headmistress spoked. And with a two claps of her hand food appeared on the table. Like how everything was during the sorting ceremony.
Immediately, Students and teacher begin grabbing food off the plates and shove them in their mouth to fill their starving stomach.
