“ who says i can’t have both tates ? “ pippa fluttered her lashes innocently. “ boys can be cheerleaders too, you know. there’s no rule against it. “ personally, pippa thought it would be good to have a few blokes to round up the squad. “ someone needs to be able to throw the fliers and merlin knows i can’t do it. besides, we’re not on the ground. ” she corrected him. “ we have our own stand. safety, and what have you. “ she waved a hand dismissively. “ either way, it’ll be BRILLIANT. “

“going for a whole set? you sound like what’shisname, the old potions professor before snape. slughorn!” truth be told, he didn’t mind the idea of cheerleading. trowing pretty girls into the air? sure, why not. but he doubted either of his parents would be particularly happy if he went that direction. “oh, i’m sure it will be. i look forward to watching it during the games. though i don’t think it’s my thing. i can help you convince ali if you need though.”

“am i a cheater, or am i just faster and generally greater than you are?” she grinned, splashing back at the wizard best she could.

“cheater, definitely a cheater,” he declared, flopping back into the water with a large splash. “so, what brings you out here on this fine day?”

zachariah.

zach stood frozen in front of the establishment, eyes darting from one colourful, loud, bright thing to the next. he’d never seen anything like it. muggle kids surrounded each other, their screams overlapping the bling-plock-bang of the machines. ″ where in merlin’s name have you taken me to, tate ? ″ he inquired, dumbstruck by his surroundings. growing up in with his pureblooded family in a wizard village, zach had never had much contact with the muggle world, which continued to amaze and somewhat scare him. he was, at that moment, equally scared and amazed.

brandon laughed at his friend’s surprise. he always forgot how hilarious it is to take purebloods to muggle establishments. “come on dude, trust me. when have i ever steered you wrong?” he thought about it and decided to rephrase. “in a way that wasn’t fun in the end. besides, this one’s actually harmless. muggle teenagers come to arcades all the time, what’s the worst that can happen?”

ATTENTION STUDENTS

Hogwarts Cheerleading Association is currently recruiting for the 89-90 season. try-outs will take place on the quidditch pitch this saturday at 3PM. for more information, please contact captain and founder pippa carstairs!

with the permission of some of her professors, pippa had posted sign-up information for the new cheerleading association – recruiting members for try-outs on the weekend. she posted one outside of the great hall as well, wanting to ensure that as many people as possible saw. it was the first year for the new club and therefore, the most important one. what if no one joined ? she’d be mortified, left to revel in nothing but her own failures. this was a dream she’d been working towards for years. this was it.

that saturday, pippa went down to the pitch early. while the club would be meeting in the great hall for practices given the quidditch pitch’s prior engagements, it had been forecast to be a nice day so she’d decided to hold the tryouts outside. if someone was truly DREADFUL, she could blame the contortions of her face on the blinding setember sun. she’d transfigured herself a table to sit behind, tapping the table idly. she’d seen a few gryffindor girls earlier that morning, two of which were perfect for the squad. aside from her housemates, she’d yet to see a familiar face or any others interested in joining. truthfully, she was getting nervous. when she spotted a figure approaching, she straightened up. “ oi, you there. ” she called out. “ are you here to try out for the cheerleading club ? “ she hoped she didn’t sound too eager.

brandon looked around, confused. “i think you’ve got the wrong tate. the other one’s, you know, a little shorter, a little longer hair, a lot more female. though i’m honored that you’d think of me.” he laughed. “what are you guys even cheering? i can’t imagine it’d be easy to cheer for the quiddich games, what with being on the ground while everyone else is up in the sky. and they can be pretty long so that sounds exhausting. though we do have the football club, so maybe that.” he paused to think. “either way, good luck.”

“ EVEN better. i like weird things. the grosser, the more interesting ! ”

“challenge accepted then.”

“i’m sure it’ll come back to you once you settle into the familiar environment of hogwarts since you’ll really have nothing else to do but focus on it.”

“you say that, but i can think of a number of other things i can focus on beside school.”

avalon.

avalon rolled her eyes, easily transfiguring her clothes. “yes we are,” she ran off to the water, leaving brandon behind. “keep up, tate!”

brandon laughed, chasing her into the water, making sure to splash as much as he could on his way in. “you’re such a cheater, av.”

marigold.

goldie grinned. “ oh, i’m not part of the cooking club, mate ! sorry to disappoint. i prefer the eating to the cooking myself. but if you end up joining, i’d be happy to taste test. ”

“you know what, maybe i will. and then i’ll make weird things and remind you you agreed.”

asher.

“i’m doing … fine in charms, i guess,” asher said rather unconvincingly. the truth was that he was doing great in charms – though he did exceedingly well in almost all of his classes, charms was his best and favorite subject – he just didn’t exactly want to be possibly roped into helping brandon with homework. but of course, being asher, he gave the information freely anyways, “the essay was just reviewing topics from last year. you know, non-verbal spells, vinegar into wine …”

none of that read true to brandon, but he wasn’t gonna push someone who didn’t want to help into anything. “thanks. fuck knows i lost half of it over summer, but i think i can make that work.”

avalon.

“oh no, i definitely could, but i guess you’re right: on some microscopic level, i’d miss ya. or rather your entertainment value.”

“at least you admit it,” he teased before stripping off his shirt. “so we going swimming or not?”

avalon.

“you mean that even in the event of your death i’ll have to deal with you? although i suppose if it’s this easy to ignore you now …” avalon trailed off with a grin, clearly teasing the hufflepuff.

“yep, lucky you,” he teased back. “come on av, you couldn’t ignore me if you tried. you’d miss me.”

“oh, hey!” avalon greeted the wix that had approached with a bright smile. “wanna join me for a dip? i’m sure the squid will leave us alone – seems like a sweet enough creature t’me.”

“of course, who am i to turn that down?” brandon agreed. “though if i get killed by the giant squid i’m gonna haunt you forever for it, you know that right?”

asher.

“huh?” asher looked up to meet the eyes of the wix that had appraoched his table, adjusting his glasses from where they had been falling down his nose. “sorry, i didn’t quite catch that – what’d you say?”

“dude, you gotta help me out. how are you doing in charms? because apparently when i space out in class my notes become doodles and i don’t even know what our essay due tomorrow is on.”

“believe me, i’d be surprised if someone mentioned food and a feast. that people wouldn’t be interested. i think it’d be really great, a good way to keep in touch with people too– i think it’s very possible to get a pretty big group interested. no of course not! we’d have to make it a group effort kind of thing.”

“a little hogwarts reunion. though i suppose we should actually try to graduate before reuniting. that sounds like much less fun than an actual feast though.”

“or,” she giggled, “…you could just be a bit more careful so i have no knowing of what you’re up to. plausible deniability, and all that.”

“sounds like a good plan. very ‘don’t ask, don’t tell.’ i think i can work with that if you can.”
