Laurel: i mean it certainly didn't help that i was all by myself

Laurel: but i figured out a way outta there in one piece... sort of?

Laurel: i can still fly straight, so we're all good in that department

Laurel: how about you, coach? did you get outta there alright?

Rayna: You were? Where were you friends?

Rayna: You know you could have sent me a text, right? I would have came and made sure you were okay.

Rayna: Sort of? What do you mean sort of? Because the way you put it made it sound like there's a piece of you missing.

Rayna: Good, don't want us losing because you were hit in the head or something.

Rayna: I'm alright, all in one piece. Relatively unscathed and kicked some ass on my way out.

Chase: I'm still alive, big sis, don't ya worry

Chase: There's been a lot of work so between that and taking care of a puppy I barely have time to get some sleep

Chase: Do you want to come over though? Just bring scones

Rayna: Good, I mean, I'm pretty sure it would take a lot to take you down. But glad to know you're still up and kicking.

Rayna: I'm guessing you're talking about an actual puppy and not Scorpius, because he's very... un-puppy like.

Rayna: Be sure you do get some sleep though, you'll be no good to anyone if you run yourself ragged.

Rayna: As if I'd come over without them, I don't want you pouting at me the entire time.

Rayna: I really hope you weren't reckless the other night and ran into the face of danger.

Rayna: I want you to play in our next game, so if you ran into the face of danger you wouldn't be able to do that.

Rayna: All jokes aside though... I hope you're alright, Ollivander.

Rayna: I didn't want to message you during everything because I know you would be out there being bad ass and helping everyone.

Rayna: But now that I haven't heard from you or seen you in the last couple of days... well, i'm just checking in to make sure you're okay?

Rayna: I've clearly been neglecting big sister duties.

Pippa watched the fireworks with a small smile on her face. Her usual bitchy demeanor falling due to the scene she was watching, “Damn, magic fireworks are so much cooler than muggle fireworks,” She said, more to herself than anyone around her, “And this sure beats a bonfire.”

“I can’t even remember what those bonfires were like now, but you’re right, I can’t remember them ever being this good. Plus you always had to sneak the alcohol in there, here it’s whatever you want to drink, whenever you want to.” Rayna commented, “Is it just me who would kind of like to view them from the sky though, not close enough that it would cause injury, but just seeing them from a different perspective would be cool.”

“I’m not exactly sure what you expect, boss; where there are celebrations there are holyhead harpies.” The woman answered playfully as she sipped on her drink, motioning to the bartender over. “And I think you have seen me worse. Nothing wrong with being just like the rest of us, is there? Can I get you something?” Gwen offered warmly. 

"That does seem to be the case, huh?” Rayna chuckled, looking around and seeing quite a lot of her players within her sight which made her realize that she wasn’t going to be free of them tonight, they’d just have to see any bad choices she made and deal with it when they were all sober. “Maybe I just haven’t let you see me at my worst, which is why you think you’ve got the short straw. Tonight could change all that.” Rayna pointed out, “I’m good for now, thanks. Gotta steady myself so I at least make it till ten.”

[raynaxscyre]

“I’ve seen far too many of you guy’s here today, I’m not liking the idea of having to keep my inhibitions in tact because the team I coach is all around probably waiting for me to make a fool out of myself, or trip up or something so you can bring it up at next practice.” Rayna told the other with a shake of her head, “If that’s your master plan, I’m not falling for it.”

“You know what, I’ll give you credit where it’s due– this isn’t bad,” Cyrus remarked after trying one of the drinks Rayna had brought back to where they were sitting. “Although I’m also not entirely convinced you didn’t put something in this that’ll make me grow an extra set of eyes or something. Did you do anything of the sort, Rachel?”

@raynaxscyre​

“If there is one thing I know more then Quidditch, it’s alcohol.” Rayna told the other, raising her glass to the other in a silent cheers and a thanks for his compliments before taking another sip. “Ew, no- I don’t do anything when it comes to eyes. Freaks me out too much.” She told the other, scrunching up her face. “You growing a tail however-... give it a couple of hours and you’ll find out of if the magical thing making the drink taste good is the reason your trousers no longer fit.”

“Merlin I hate when people say that. It’s only awkward because you’ve said it’s awkward, therefore making it so,” Vera grumbled tiredly as she put the cheese packet into the shopping basket hanging on her arm. “The path to the cheddar is free, knock yourself out,” she then said as she took a step to the side.

“Alright then, well it’s very joyous and exciting to see my ex here in the cheese aisle after having not seen her in like months.” Rayna spoke, her tone dry and her words coming out with a hint of sarcasm. “Better?” She asked with a small smirk. “Oh I will, don’t you worry.” Rayna mentioned moving to grab the cheese before looking back at the other. “Are you-... are you, alright?”

“Has she been talked to about any of this?” Lucinda asked, “Maybe it should be mentioned in a room without any Quidditch equipment,” She suggested, “I don’t think many people on the team are too keen on her and her anger issues.”  

“Not yet, I was going to see if she improved, but clearly that’s not going to happen. She’s just taken the being petty approach and that’s not going to slide with me.” Rayna told the other, because even though she wasn’t able to play professionally now, she was still very competitive and would do anything to ensure her team did well in the leagues. “Well if the team are unhappy, then maybe I really do need to give her a stern talking too- away from Quidditch equipment like you said.”

“Hey, come on, admit it,” Ben said, pointing to the other and grinning from ear to ear, “I look good for twenty-seven. I mean, we know I look good at any age but that age now includes twenty-seven. Admit it.”

“I’m not denying it, you do indeed look good for twenty seven.” Rayna told the other as she took a sip from her glass. “Me on the other hand, I look great for twenty seven. You downplayed yourself by saying good, you should have been more complimentary of yourself.”

“Headmaster Penhallow? He’d probably just laugh and say that it’s a good thing I don’t teach potions then,” he replied, unbothered. “You know the professors don’t have to be skilled at every subject to teach one, right? We’re supposed to be good at the thing we’re responsible for,” Cyrus added with a chuckle. “You’re right, it would be. Rachel it is then.”

Rayna gave the other a pointed look to ensure him that she did indeed know that, “I’m well aware, but I thought you would need to be at least decent in most subjects, you never really implied just how bad you were at potions. Are we talking about a little too strong love potion, or blowing up an entire classroom kind of level?” She asked. “And your name is Christopher, not that I would forget that, like you did for me.”

[raynaxscyre]

lucindaskelly​:

“Maybe moving her to the sub team might help?” Lucinda suggested to the other, it wasn’t her place at all to give suggestions but still, she couldn’t help herself. “You know, on the bench she has a chance to play but on the sub team… not really unless everyone is out.” 

“It’d help the team, sure. But how do I know she’s not going to try and launch a bludger at my head for doing that, I kind of want to keep my face intact and she doesn’t seem to take bad news well.” She told the other, because although placing her player on the sub team would be the wise option, she didn’t want to have to deal with pettiness and an overall bad vibe going on in the team. 

[raynaxscyre]

“Look, I know choosing the right kind of cheese is a really important decision but you’ve been stood in this section for like a minute too long now and I really just need to get in there and grab the cheddar, so can I just-..” Rayna explained trying to move around the other, not realizing that this person wasn’t in fact a stranger like she had thought. “Oh, Vera, hi. I didn’t recognize you-... this makes this... kind of awkward now.”

“You wouldn’t even catch me trying to apply for that job. I shouldn’t be trusted around potions in general, let alone teaching the subject,” Cyrus said, definitely better off sticking to his classes filled with books and old photographs or maps. “Knew it– damn,” he swung his hand with a snap. “Well my sincerest apologies, Rachel. I promise not to make the mistake ever again,” Cyrus continued along with the joke.

“Are you sure this is information you should be telling me, I mean I could totally go to the head and rat you out on how bad you are at potions.” Rayna told the other, not that she would ever do that, not when she considered Cyrus to be her friend. “But remind me never to come to you for potion themed situations.” Not that she had many of those to start with. “You better not, otherwise it’s going to be really awkward if you call me by a different name for the second time.”

“You’re right, that is something that would be pretty funny,” Lucinda agreed, laughing a little at the mere idea of the other getting hit by the Quaffle. “Oh no, you did? Well… You wouldn’t have been wrong by saying something… I mean… have you seen their hits lately?” 

“Would probably make me a terrible coach to laugh at one of my players being potentially injured, but she does come across as a bit of bitch so she would probably have it coming.” Rayna commented with a small shrug, not being one to hold back on what she thought of people. Being a little too honest for her own good some time. “She was slacking and I’m not going to coach a losing team who people see as lazy, so yeah- I did.” Rayna continued, “It’s like they don’t care anymore, if it continue she will be benched for the rest of the season and if she wants to go look for a new team to play on, then so be it.”

“I’m normally a decent level of observant… but sometimes my attention span gets the best of me,” he admitted with a struggle. “Maybe your name isn’t even Rayna and you’re just going along with it because you feel bad for me or something. It is Rayna, right?” Cyrus added teasingly.

“It’s a good job you’re not the potions master then, isn’t it? Otherwise kids might be exploding in your classroom and you wouldn’t notice until the next day.” She commented, smirking at the other, “Actually it’s Rachel.” She played along. “I was going to correct you when we first met but I didn’t want to hurt your pride.” That line itself was enough to give her away given she had never been one to consider another man’s pride if it meant correcting them on something they’d done wrong.
