Alicia, having had to use a spell to get her old uniform to fit, felt a thrill of anticipation as she mounted her old broom. It had been a while - far too long - and it was about time she'd gotten 'back in the saddle'.

She grabbed a quaffle from the ground, then held it aloft with a shouted "For Harry!"

Then with a kick, she was off into the sky, waiting for everyone to get into the positions. She really, really, really hoped she wasn't as rusty as she feared she was.

Adrian hadn't played quidditch in years, but he thought that this was a: a very good opportunity to do so and b: a rather nice thought. It would take people's minds off the funeral that had just occurred and give them a pleasant reminder of the day. He had signed up for Roger's team, not aware how it very nearly seemed to come down to boys versus girls once on the pitch. He was used to playing against some of them though, and while he'd never played alongside roger, or actually Cade, for that matter since they hadn't been on the team at the same time, he still felt like he was slipping into old comfortable shoes.

Then they were in the air and the quaffle was up. The wind rushed through Adrian's hair, making his old Slytherin robe billow out behind him. He may not have been as good a player as he'd been back in school, but he was determined not to be a slouch.

As much as Angie intended for this match to be all in good fun, she couldn't help her competitive side. She had to quell her desire to be captain - it was Alicia's idea after all. Even though Angie sort of thought if it was like old times, she should be captaining, she had to turn off that bit of competition and focus on just having fun. She was dressed in her old school robes, which were a bit short, but still fit well otherwise.

She was doing a great job until she realised Warrington was playing too. Old rivalries came to the forefront when she saw him on the opposing team and the flash of smile across her face was quick and devious, and very much determined. She swerved her broom over toward him, unable to resist calling, "You're right, that scowl never does come off your face, does it? Think you can still keep up?"

Cade almost regretted agreeing to this match. It was far more social than he was used to, despite the somber reason behind it. Honestly, it wasn't sentimentality that had gotten him to volunteer - he'd hardly been a fan of Potter's to begin with - but it did give him a reason to give his new broom a good run, really open her up and see what she could do. Not to mention it had been far too long since he'd had a good match.

So he supposed he could put up with other people for the sake of flying. Even Johnson, who's voice cut into his stone-face reverie. He regarded her with challenging look of his own. "It does, when it has reason to. Like when I leave you eating broom bristles."

Challenge accepted. Angie did a quick maneuver that was part extreme talent and part amazing broom. "If you're so sure you can keep up with me. I doubt that," she replied, flashing Roger an amused grin when he called out to Cade. She hadn't thought her comment the slightest bit intimidating, especially not to someone like Warrington. She'd have to try harder for that. She didn't expect he'd intimidate remotely easily.

She felt exhilarated and the game hadn't really even kicked off yet. There were only two things that got Angie this excited, this flushed, and this passionate: quidditch and sex. At the moment she was practically glowing with anticipation. "At least you've got a brilliant broom there. That should help."

"I never had any trouble keeping up with you before," Cade sent back, clearly unimpressed by the dig. He didn't even acknowledge Roger's comment. If thought a few females on brooms were intimidating, then maybe he'd gone through different Auror training than Cade himself. Honestly, Cade didn't much care for trash-talking as an intimidation tactic. He much preferred to let his opponents think they had the upperhand, let them get cocky, and then grind them into dust. He let his playing do the intimidating for him.

Of course, that was if this damn game ever got started in the first place.

It had been awhile since Roger had gotten back on the broom. But it was his old Quidditch pride showing, that he was happy to be Captain of a team again. And he was equally pleased that Alicia was his opposing Captain, since she probably hadn't played a game in awhile.

And this was just for fun. It was to honour a friend. But Roger was still competitive too. He was quite pleased when Adrian and Cade wanted to play for his team. They weren't on his team during school, and they weren't Chambers and Bradley, but they worked together, and as an Auror, you needed to work well with your colleagues.

When Alicia called the start of the match, Roger kicked off and lead the formation. He heard Angie calling to Cade, and Roger just yelled back, "Don't let the girls intimidate you."

Ern had never played for the house team, due to his ~~excessive~~ focus on his schoolwork but was a decent player when it came down to it. In any case, he needed something to distract his mind, something to deal with the pent up frustration. When he noticed that one of the sides was lacking in a beater he most easily took that up.

"Fearlessness won't help you, and the girls are the least of your problem," Ernie said, feeling some of the playfulness spread to him, despite the actual grim nature of that day.
