Dani was encouraged to see Leo there, as much as she was surprised by what David told her. She hadn't figured on being rebuffed in such a fashion, and had expected a friendlier response than she received. She mouthed the words 'Thank you,' to Leo before answering Cathy's brother.

"Actually, Cathy never said anything of the sort about you, David, at least not to me. Of course I think she's able to see the good in everybody, even when they don't see it themselves. I also don't see why you would hope she'd get hurt. You don't enjoy the game, I get it, but can't you let her have fun too?"

Leonette found it hard to believe anyone would wish someone to quiet playing Quidditch. If they loved something wouldn’t it make more sense to let them have their fun. Despite agreeing with Danica she knew her place when it came between Cathy and David.

“No, not yet… but you will be.” Leonette told him with a smile. She had completely faith in him that he’d get his dream job. Maybe he’d learn some people skills during it too, although that would be wishful thinking. Watching the game it seemed Hufflepuff had the upper hand which in many ways made Leonette kind of happy despite what she may be wearing.

Leonette looked at David and smiled when he said there were other things he’d rather be doing. “Don’t worry David you’ll have plenty of time to do something far more fun after the game.” She said with a smile. "Well, it's coincidentally that I'm wearing more green than anything else. Honestly I could have probably worn a bit more yellow but it didn't happen that way. Besides I can't help it if my coat is black." Leonette told him justifying her reasoning. Of course she probably could have changed the color of her coat, not that she planned on doing that.

"So you're just here to be a supportive brother all while hoping she'll want to quit, I can understand that." Leonette told him as she looked back at the game. It was looking close for both seekers. Like always it seemed Cathy got away unscathed. So much for David’s wishful thinking. When the snitch was caught Leonette despite the odds being against them even more so was happy to see Slytherin won. “Looks like Slytherin wins again and Cathy goes without getting hit.” She commented with a smile.

Grudgingly, she admitted, at least to herself, she saw where David was coming from. Even in the Muggle World, there were those whom were openly concerned about concussion risks for young footballers. Shocks to the brain now could lead to other issues later on in life. Of course, this made her wonder why Quidditch players, other than the Keeper, eschewed pads and helmets? Perhaps another question to pose to their Advanced Flying instructor.

She listened to Leo and David talk about studies, and how even a passing grade on OWLs might well be an 'F' in disguise. If nothing else it reminded her they were a couple, she was the third wheel, and that as Veronica pointed out, there was a lot more to school besides Quidditch.

Even so, she still cheered when Cathy had the Quaffle, even if she did pass it off to another teammate, and watched as the Slytherin Seeker caught the Snitch and ended the game. She was happy Cathy avoided being targeted for a Bludger, but seeing Slytherin win again ....

"And so the Cup passes from our reach," she said softly.

Hufflepuff vs. Slytherin Game

David raised a brow when Leonette dismissed his concerns and then said she wouldn't dream about doing such a thing as interrupt his studies and offered for them to study together. David laughed, "I hate studying if I can't see obvious results from it. Studying to merely 'pass' is out of my comprehension. I'll probably drop the class, anyways. Besides, you know if we study together it won't do me any good. I'll use it as another excuse to put off trying to learn something I obviously suck at."

He shrugged and said about her coat, "Actually, your attire would pass the Avery house standard. You don't have any red on for once. Hell, even my mother changes the color of some of her dresses before she goes to her parents. Reds of any kind are the big banned color-I guess it wasn't so bad once upon a time, but I'm fairly sure everyone is still furious about what Wendy's aunt did. The Chaistys, quite probably the worst investment the Avery Clan ever made."

"And, Cathy won't hold onto the quaffle unless she is one of the more experienced players on the team. It is so obvious she's the baby of the team so she is there just to offer support that is all. Cathy won't hold onto it, or not for several years," David answered. "And I can't even half mention the idea of hitting my sister to Mira for a great many reasons."

He raised a brow and listened as Leonette explained the possible ways for them to win the quidditch cup which seemed like it depended on a lot of odds. "You guys have won the cups for a couple years now, what does one year of not winning it matters?" David scoffed. "Anyways, I'd rather not disappear into the Ravenclaw commons, beyond being the most hated Ravenclaw, I absolutely despise some of my housemates, particularly one or two in my sister's years. Obviously, I hold grudges but still..." He shrugged. "As for you if you want to study history I could summarize the entire course up to this point in the equivalent of one thousand words or less per topic so you could still get the only acceptable grade on the OWLs-an O. I guess one E isn't terrible."

"Anyways, I'll be around. You can come with me or be the supportive big sister for Mira or complain to my sister how I'm being my typical antisocial self and you'll win an ally," David added with a shrug. "Also, Dan-whatever your name is-you and the rest of Cathy's friends can take note of this, the less I know about you lot the happier we all will be. Trust me."

“Suit yourself then.” Leonette said the way she saw it she was one of the best in that class. Her and Tanya had probably an E or higher secured for the OWL. Only way it wouldn’t happen was if something royally messed up during the test.

Leonette smiled she was glad for once she had the Avery stamp of approval. Not that she really cared they were only colors. Though she couldn’t help wonder what Wendy’s aunt did. It had to be something pretty bad or so she figured. “I probably would have been the same way if I had of played during first year.” She said knowing that in time Cathy would learn to keep the quaffle in her possession.

“To those who play the game it matters a lot. There are two people graduating this year that would love to win they’re last year of the season and honestly we just came out of a losing streak. History doesn’t need to repeat itself so soon.” Leonette explained knowing that once David left they’d be back where they started along with Ravenclaw. “Um… I’d appreciated that but I think I’d just be happy with an A on the OWL thanks.” She said not taking any offence to what David had said.

Freezing as Danica said a few choice words and then stalked off Leonette was kind of shocked. Since dating David she hadn’t really been subject to any ill feelings others may have against him. Of course they were just being nice she knew that, though it was still a shock. “Wow… you really have a way with people don’t you?” Leonette said watching Danica walk off. “I think I’ll come with, even if I did show support for my sister she still won’t talk to me. So, I might as well spend my time with someone who wants it.”

Leonette understood David’s reasoning however strange it may be. If he didn’t know them then Cathy could be friends with whomever she wanted and he could play the “I had no idea card”. “I understand why you’re doing it. Good tactic I’ll admit.” She said before adding. “At least it lets your sister being friends with anyone she chooses.” It showed that David really did care about his sister just like any big brother would.

“That’s just who she is I guess. Why someone being nice has to be completely insane in her books is beyond me.” Leonette said before freezing at what David had just following his comment about her Mira. “You weren’t fond of me when we first met?” she said kind of surprised. How did she not know? “I guess hanging with you pretty much all third year made me grow on you.” She added with a smile. Clearly he was fond of her now.

Leonette knew David had a point but she also knew he wasn’t all for the house appreciation thing. “Yeah there is and I do feel bad for them.” She said before giving a light nod in agreement. “Yes that’s her name and I don’t doubt that she will.” She told David as she walked out of the stands. “Let’s just hope you’re ready for it.”

"How did you find out about me skipping flying anyways?" Wendy demanded of David as Cathy walked a few steps back and was humming a random tune staying out of the matter. David obviously had taken a more active interest in his younger relatives-not only his sister, which sort of made Cathy a bit relieved that she wasn't the only one receiving the brunt of his annoyance and strict decisions on the matter which the Head of Avery family gave him the freedom to do, actually, Cathy was fairly sure David had to more or less. It was a bit ironic that David was annoyed at Wendy for skipping anything to do with flying and Cathy for joining the quidditch team.

"You don't think I don't have my sources," David scoffed. "Hell, you think only you can use my girlfriend's little sister for information."

"I thought you hated Slytherins," Wendy snapped. "And it looks bad for an Avery to wear Gryffindor colors you are aware of..."

David rolled his eyes, "I only generally do. Anyways, I figured Gryffindor's colors made more sense: I am not very fond of my own house and happen to be dating someone on the Gryffindor house team. Besides, speaking of that whole matter you do realize that their son was sorted into your precious little Slytherin."

"The honorable Salazar Slytherin is probably rolling in his grave, it is no doubt because that nonsense hat was originally Godric Gryffindor's," Wendy scoffed. David shrugged and Cathy's brown eyes darted between the two, she kind of wondered how the summer would work with David being at the Avery manor where Wendy lived for most of the Summer. David didn't have the patience Cathy had to deal with Wendy after all. Though, Cathy had no say really in anything and everyone assumed she was an idiot in the Avery family so maybe that was the difference. Cathy then spotted Danica and ran over to her friend and quickly hugged her.

"Dani!" She practically sung tackling her Gryffindor friend. Meanwhile David glanced over and massaged his forehead and Wendy narrowed her eyes suspiciously at Cathy and Danica. "We got one Ravenclaw to root on your team. Hufflepuff is out of the running for the cup but maybe Gryffindor will luck out," She joked with a laugh, nodding briefly to David and a scowling Wendy. "And you want to bet how long it is before my brother tries out some of the spells he studied ahead for from next year on our second cousin or whatever? There is apparently one that makes something go silent. Fun right?"

She chuckled before she sat down by Danica and David rolled his eyes and sat a few seats down from Cathy and Dani and Wendy sat down primly, crossing her arms a suspicious scowl on Wendy's face as she watched Cathy. "At least, her skipping out an entire class this year makes me look better about lying about the quidditch thing. My brother has only made the ultimatum of me taking one particular elective next year and he doesn't expect me to score that high. I think Wendy is supposed to take four now or something? I don't know all the muggle related ones. Oh, and she is supposed to only get Os because anything else might as well not be passing or something. So how are you?"
