*Beth, Gil and Luisa
{{Hecate Grimm|time=11:21, August 3, 2015 (UTC)|Beth=*Bethany was sat top a seat at the bar, her index finger running back and forth under her bottom lip, her eyes narrowed in thought.* "Firewhisky. Double shot. Now!" *She pounded on the bar with her free hand making eye contact with the bartender before shooting him a glare daring him to make her ask again.*}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=11:26, August 3, 2015 (UTC)|Gil=He grinned as he practically pulled his little half-sister into the bar with a grin. "You are such a shorty, Lu," he teased, nudging her. "I don't know where you got that, is the prick short or is it a Mutti thing?"}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=11:26, August 3, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa="Gil, if you call my father a prick again I will hit you." she warned, despite knowing nothing she could do would really hurt him at all. "And how should I know whether it's a Mutti thing? I haven't met her and neither have you."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=11:30, August 3, 2015 (UTC)|Beth=*Bethany glanced over at the apparent siblings engaged in their squabble. It may have been in reverse, a little different than what she was used to, it still made her crack a smile, maybe even let out a little laugh.*}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=11:39, August 3, 2015 (UTC)|Gil=Gilbert smirked while looking down at his sister, ruffling her hair just a little. "You'll have to reach me first," he laughed feeling the advantage of being tall. "I haven't met her no, but I bet she's a shorty just like you are Lu. My vater was very tall."}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=11:39, August 3, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa="I'm actually average height, danke," she answered matter of factly, although she was resisting a smile. "Don't you ever think you're too big?" Seeing her teammate (or rather, new teammate) she waved and headed over. "Hallo!"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=11:44, August 3, 2015 (UTC)|Beth="Hello." *She could not hide her smile, but she was able bite back a more hearty laugh having overheard the conversation.* "... Luisa? Rasskazova?" *She struggled to remember the woman's name, nevertheless she remained fairly certain she had guessed right.*}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=11:53, August 3, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa="That's me," she replied, "I believe Gilbert precedes himself. You don't see that many 6'3" Germans around here." The jibe was irresistible and for now at least it appeared that the little argument was going to go back and forth for a while.}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=11:53, August 3, 2015 (UTC)|Gil="Lu!" he moaned, "stop it!"}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=11:53, August 3, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa="You started it, Gil," she reminded him.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:16, August 4, 2015 (UTC)|Beth=*Bethany smiled relieved to not have gotten Luisa's surname wrong after having said it incorrectly to everyone else.* "You two love each other so much." *She feigned jealousy, pretending to pout as she looked between them.* "What's the age difference between you two? I can tell Gilbert is the elder. I have yet to decide by how much you trail him?" *She looked to Luisa.*}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=10:48, August 5, 2015 (UTC)|Gil=He laughed. "I love being so tall, I don't know about loving this shorty," he laughs a little more jokingly. "Four years in which I was awesome, and she wasn't,"}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=10:48, August 5, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa= Luisa would let out a small, quiet pfft. "And I've been more awesome for the other twenty-one," she tells him with a slight eyeroll.}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=10:48, August 5, 2015 (UTC)|Gil="Says the one who didn't play in the world cup," he shot back, still grinning away.}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=10:48, August 5, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa="Says the one who lost to the Fitchburg Finches. Don't think I'll be going easy on the Bats just because you're with them now."}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=10:48, August 5, 2015 (UTC)|Gil="Ouch, Lu!" He complained, placing his hand over his heart. "C'mon, Keeva will wipe the floor with you. Let's be real."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=- [[User:Hecate Grimm|Hecate Grimm]] [[User talk:Hecate Grimm|(talk)]] 10:56, August 5, 2015 (UTC)|Beth=*Bethany stifled laughter during their entire back verbal tirade. It made her miss her brothers, and she despised that feeling, but it was amusing enough that she did not mind feeling it.* "Four years? Are you sure? You bicker so well to be that far apart." *She toyed with the emphasis from dramatic purposes looking back and fourth between them.* "To be fair, Fitchburg did place third. They were not the worst of the teams to make it to the Cup this year."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=11:34, August 5, 2015 (UTC)|Beth=*Bethany rolls her eyes at Gil expecting as much from him. She looks to Luisa chuckles.* "How is he going to handle seeing so many of his former Harries teammates playing against him? Does your big brother cry? Do you think he spilled enough tears over Deutschland's crumbling wall to be able to keep the Bats in the air? Maybe you should have spent a little less time jump-jumping."}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=18:13, August 11, 2015 (UTC)|Gil="I love jump jumping!" he protested with a grin, "And it was not a crumbling wall. We just found it difficult to move from Germany to here and back so often." Bethany was more right than he'd like to admit, but because he wasn't going to admit it to himself he wouldn't admit it to her.}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=18:13, August 11, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa=She shrugs. "He probably can but not well enough to beat us."}}
=Jamie's Bar and Grille=
*Bethany and Sarah
{{Sarah Norman|time=11:20, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|text= *Sarah's hardly ever been in here, but given it's Hogsmeade location she figures she should spread her wings some. Juliya is in a funk of late, and since nothing seems to help, Sarah's giving her a wide berth.*}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=11:28, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Beth=*Bethany is all bruises and bandages for another few hours, maybe days depending on the actual severity of the shot to her arm which no healer would give her a straight answer for. No matter, she would soldier on. Thus far she lived to play another day. She gave a friendly smile to the woman as she made eye contact.*}}
{{Sarah Norman|time=11:39, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|text= *Her hand flits automatically to her pendant - then stops. She takes a deep, visible breath and just speaks, in her rather arrhythmic way.* "Looks like you've been in the wars."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=11:45, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Beth=*Bethany frowns momentarily.* "Do I look that bad?" *She laughs at herself for wanting to be vain enough to look for a mirror, and check herself out.* "I have been knocked around quite a bit. I can't say I remember bludgers hitting this rough a few years ago." *She extends an odd hand.* "Bethany. Bethany Westenberg. And you are?"}}
{{Sarah Norman|time=19:14, September 12, 2015 (UTC)|text= *She hesitates for just a moment, realizing she can't sign while shaking hands, the plunges on, continuing to speak in slight staccato.* "Sarah Norman, I teach up at the castle."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:15, September 13, 2015 (UTC)|Beth="One of my younger brothers happens to be a student there, a student of yours in fact." *She smiled in recognition of the name.* "Your reputation precedes you, Sarah. It is my pleasure to meet you. How long have you been teaching?"}}
{{Sarah Norman|time=13:28, September 14, 2015 (UTC)|text= *The grin is wide, spontaneous and infectious. She pauses to set the pendant in motion, then signs.* "It feels like just yesterday, but it's been eight years - at least. Wow. Haven't said that out loud before - or signed it. I started with Wandlore, and since then have become a jill-of-all-trades - or "a piratical maid of all work", perhaps."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=22:38, September 18, 2015 (UTC)|Beth= "At least? Eight years is a long time. Its good to hear that you can still say 'it feels like yesterday'. Even with what I think I understand to be a change in the subject you were originally teaching? It sounds like you have not let that diminish your passion." *She smiled.* "Which subject was it you taught after Wandlore?" }}
{{Sarah Norman|time=22:55, September 18, 2015 (UTC)|text= *She takes a moment, strolling through cobwebbed memories.* "Magical Creatures, and Animagi of course, then Potions, and these days Transfiguration."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:01, September 18, 2015 (UTC)|Beth= "Jill-of-all-trades was not a title you came to out of a lack of modesty was it?" *She smiled.* "Which subject, if you had to choose, do you think you could say is a favorite among them? If you have to rank them, and leave a few tied I completely understand."}}
{{Sarah Norman|time=23:14, September 18, 2015 (UTC)|text= "Creatures." *The spoken word outstrips any possible filter of thought, though the rest is signed.* "I was a pet psychiatrist before all this, and the "Doctor Doolittle" thing has a place in my soul, I guess."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:24, September 18, 2015 (UTC)|Beth=*Bethany nodded feeling it before Sarah even said it.* "That world, the life of creatures, does have a way of crawling inside of you, and leaving an imprint on your heart. At least it did on mine." *She grins in silence for a brief moment.* "Were there any frequent disorders you encountered when you worked as a psychiatrist?"}}
{{Sarah Norman|time=23:38, September 18, 2015 (UTC)|text= *She grimaces fleetingly, then recollects it is past.* "Excess of funds, insufficiency of care - what you get for dealing in the ailments of the rich. Magical pets, which were my field, are a classic example thereof in general - certainly the neurotic, depressed and even suicidal ones, which usually reflect the owner."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:51, September 18, 2015 (UTC)|Beth=*Bethany's jaw drops open slightly, it is apparent although she believes she managed to catch it before it was too obvious she was stunned.* "I have always strongly believed that every person has a link to a certain animal if not to all animals. An every being is connected to the other sort of thought. However, it has never occurred to me that as humans our own personal neurosis whether we recognize it in ourselves or not could rub off on the animals that we know and love."}}
{{Sarah Norman|time=23:56, September 18, 2015 (UTC)|text= *She smiles warmly at the other woman's untempered passion and compassion.* "Those were the easier fixes, most of the time, to be honest. I'm still living with a number of former clients who had a range of unsanctioned magics practised on them."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=17:20, September 19, 2015 (UTC)|Beth=*Bethany's eyes widen with intrigue.* "I hope that I am not being intrusive with my questions, the more I speak with you the more curious I find myself." *She lightly rubbed at a bruise by her hairline.* "These roommates of yours, former clients as they were, when I ask I do not want to refer to them as a what, I would much rather ask who. Who are they to you?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=17:20, September 19, 2015 (UTC)|Beth=*Bethany's eyes widen with intrigue.* "I hope that I am not being intrusive with my questions, the more I speak with you the more curious I find myself." *She lightly rubbed at a bruise by her hairline.* "These roommates of yours, former clients as they were, when I ask I do not want to refer to them as a what, I would much rather ask who. Who are they to you?"}}
{{Sarah Norman|time=23:43, September 19, 2015 (UTC)|text= *The signing is fluid but slower than usual, and the speech produced reflects this.* "Friends - my version of family, I guess, although given animal lifespans we lose members regularly. They're all preternaturally bright, at least for their species, as a result of the magics worked on them, and I guess when I think about it I might be disappointed by 'normal' magical pets these days, if I ever went back into practice."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:07, September 20, 2015 (UTC)|Beth=*Bethany smiles a bright, sweet smile that fades with the recollection of loss.* "I would guess that you would be disappointed. After having the sort of adventures I can only imagine you must have had 'normal' must almost seem like it comes from a foreign language. Could you? Rather would you say your friends - your family members are more or less dangerous than other animals of their species? Asking from what little knowledge I have of them I wonder. Would reintroduction be a detriment?"}}
{{Sarah Norman|time=19:11, September 20, 2015 (UTC)|text= "Well, the ravens have the lifetime memories of one of the greatest - and therefore most neurotic - undercover Aurors in history, the Caracal wakes up a different age - by a matter of years - every morning, the midget black rhino is on a one-creature deforestation of the planet campaign, and if he gets ticked and focused enough I believe the sloth could probably remove the castle from its bedrock and drop it in the lake, so I have to feel both they and society are better off the way things are now."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:33, September 21, 2015 (UTC)|Beth="It would seem to me more like something you should know. I suppose it would have to start with a feeling. The feeling that they are safe, and well cared for with you, by you more so than they would be with anyone else. The feeling that they are understood, and valued for both their faults that are on record, and the strengths only someone like you would know of. I appreciate what you do, Sarah. In case I had not already made you aware. Still, I have a sense of unjustified concern. What happens to them when they no longer have you? Have you ever felt any of your students could one day succeed you?"}}
{{Sarah Norman|time=20:31, September 28, 2015 (UTC)|text= *She shrugs, looking to downplay the impact of a thought she has never really allowed headspace.* "They all love Marla, and the sneakier ones and the avians adore Nergüi, so one way and another I think they'd make it. I suppose ... well, Juliya would go in search of her cubs, I guess."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:41, September 29, 2015 (UTC)|Beth="That is truly a wonderful thing, that you can share these deeply complex personalities types with others. The rhino and the sloth seeming the most interesting. Although I do not particularly want to leave out my appreciation for the Caracal or the ravens?" *She smiled a soft sigh escaping her.* " You mentioned Juliya, you said she would look for his cubs. Which breed would that be?"}}

*Bethany and Luisa
{{Lilly Mara|time=11:18, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa=Although Luisa was upset for her brother, she couldn't let that affect the standard of her playing. Nobody was officially practicing now, so she'd decided to let a snitch out and train by herself - she'd done it before in Germany, so why not keep doing it?}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=11:22, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Beth=*Beth thought she was going to be able to eek out a little time on the pitch while no one was 'officially' practicing. Being double wrong, she squinted with a eagle eye out on the field before she hopped on her broom and gave chase. She was never much of a Seeker, but she had always been a Chaser.*}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=11:27, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa=She was briefly distracted, not having expected anyone else to be here, but the challenge certainly settled her into the in-game mode, for which she was grateful. Streamlining herself to her broom as she would, she kicked her broom into gear a little more, speeding for the tiny ball. Finally noticing who it was as she came into the corner of her vision, Luisa was determined not to lose to her former teammate, much less to her former Chaser.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=11:33, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Beth=*Beth would have fought the grin Luisa 'fight mode' brought on, if she could. She could barely spot the snitch when it was hovering momentarily in one spot, which was never long, she shot towards it with small bursts of speed when she could. Her main goal was to chase her former teammate, this was tag to her but it was not going to hurt to go for the gold... literally.*}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=11:37, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa=Not being chased by Beaters was making her job much easier, she only had to focus on Bethany and the snitch. She was much better at following it, purely because it was her profession to notice it and not lose its trail. Her focus was on stamina so that when she was close enough, she could go in and snatch it before she tired herself.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=11:41, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Beth=*Beth knew she did not stand a chance at catching the snitch before Luisa, this was not her thing. Still, airtime was always a good time. She put her broom, and her skill to the test chasing after her former teammate and doing her best to get ahead of Luisa when she could find the right momentum.*}}{{Lilly Mara|time=11:47, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa=This was quickly becoming fun, so she did her best to simultaneously get in the way when she could (this was probably a cheeky streak) not wanting to be overtaken. Angling her broom downwards noticing it again, she streaked nearly straight down while enjoying the rush it was giving her.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=11:52, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Beth=*Beth would pull the spiral maneuver and spin-a-rooni around Luisa on the dive. This should have been a sport. It may not have been a smart move, but she new it was going to be worth it, she shot as far forwards in the short amount of time left before they were too close to the ground trying to close in on the snitch, or loop back upwards to keep from colliding with the floor of the pitch.*}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=11:59, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa=That being something the brunette was not prepared for, she was glad of the fast reaction time she thought she had always naturally had. The wind currents were helpful in keeping herself from running into the ground, she was wary of where they were and wasn't going to go easy on the chaser and not use what was there. Stretching herself and tilting her path slightly to the right, she took the snitch in her dominant hand, keeping it stuck in there her feet were just barely skimming the ground as she pulled back up with a breathless grin. That had been some real fun.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=12:02, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Beth=*Beth laughed a little miffed she had been unable to pull of the impossible. She smiled at Luisa as she flew near.* "If that's a fraction of what it would be like to play against I might just stick with playing Chaser instead of making that switch to Seeker."}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=12:10, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa="I think it's hard to switch from the larger ball to the tiny one," she acknowledged with a nod. "You did much better than my brother ever did. He still thinks he could be good at it, when I try Chaser he doesn't really even need to try to save it."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=12:15, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Beth="He is a complicated one, your brother. You can tell that by looking at him. I suppose, perhaps, it says something about his confidence that he would think he could make a good Seeker. Or something about his ego that his unbelievable size does not quite register." *She laughed.* "How have you both been?"}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=12:20, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa=She laughed, agreeing completely. "He is, definitely." There's a short, noticeable pause as she considers what to say. "Me, I've been fine, but my brother I'm not so sure. He's lost two of his teammates and his manager, his best friend's in Bulgaria, and you know how he is. Him and Julchen are trying to put it together, and help each other out. I think it would help if Reichert showed his face. And obviously he can't play after they dissolved the Magpies. It doesn't help."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=12:25, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Beth="I am so sorry to hear that. I know what it feels like to lose someone you love, even worse I know how it feels for someone to be absent from your life when you need them the most." *She also took a moment to pause.* "He ... he could play for another team. I'm sure there is a starting position for him. I a more than certain managers a vying for him right now. Then again maybe it is time he stopped playing. Maybe this is a sign he should move on, and do other things with his life."}}{{Lilly Mara|time=12:29, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa="I think he is considering moving back to Germany, I know that's something he and Julchen talked about. He's done it since seventeen, and if he wanted to go back to the Harriers I know they would take him." She shrugged. "He would miss Derrick Schmidt's managing style, but he's very good at moulding himself to expectations."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=12:34, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Beth="I believe every word." *She nodded.* "Someone like Gil would need to be. Not that I know what it must be like to be a humongous man, with gigantic feelings. I imagine he would need to be adaptable. At the least he has Julchen." *She smiled as images of Matty flashed in her mind.* "What about you? Are you staying or were you thinking of leaving with your brother?"}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=12:38, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa="I'm comfortable where I am for now, I think if I was going anywhere it would be Russia. I'm more comfortable there, than Germany. He would hate it if I went back, he has a huge vendetta against my dad, luckily my dad was always used to personal vendettas against him." She thinks about both possibilities, all three possibilities - even though she'd only really considered option one, it was the truth, all of it.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=12:42, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Beth=*Beth allowed herself a short laugh, despite her distaste with her familiarity with a father of that sort, she knew his kind all to well.* "Russia?" *She takes a short second to remind herself of Luisa's surname.* "Hypothetically speaking. If you left. What would you do in Russia?"}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=12:47, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa="I was born there. One of the few actually lucky enough to be able to actually stay with my dad." She smiled, despite the fact she knew why Gilbert hated him she still couldn't see him in another light than how she had seen him growing up. "If I went to Russia, I'd get a Ministry job in their department of Magical Games and Sports. Or play for their national team since I'm eligible. One of the two, depending on if I ever got called up to the latter."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=12:50, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Beth="I tried to convince myself that based on your surname you had to have some association with Russia. I did not want to be presumptuous enough to think you were born there without knowing for sure. Is your father involved in the Ministry? The image of you there fits so well I have to wonder if that sort of aura is something you inherited from him."}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=12:57, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa="He used to be headmaster of EESM before it went to hell. It got me a lot of benefits while I was there, including not having to room with the other students. I might have been far from the only one, but I feel like he liked me well enough." She shrugged. "I kind of want to keep at least one tie to this job, once you've been playing for a long time it becomes the only thing you can imagine yourself doing."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=13:04, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Beth="I know exactly what you mean. The only time I ever thought of leaving quidditch was after I had my son." *She pauses to consider Luisa's previous statement.* "How interesting. Headmaster you say?" *She started to chuckle a bit, her attempt at stifling it making it sound like giggling.* "Is that why Gil hates him so much. I had no intention of asking. The authority figure that presents makes me view the relationship I would guess those two don't have in a different way."}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=13:15, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa="I think he's kind of jealous that I had a real relationship with my dad. His was a muggle football player, we had the same mother although I'm not quite sure how that happened. I have a lot of siblings like that, though not from her, as far as I know, Gil is the only one. He sort of got sent to like an honorary uncle, whereas I lived at EESM with my actual dad. His English is a lot more casual than mine, since he's spent time living here from about five, to seventeen. I learnt from my father."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=13:23, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Beth="I think it is great how well the two of you get along. I have three brothers and I like each of them to a different degree, and same goes for the extant with how much trust and faith I have in them. I could not fathom how or what our relationship would be if they were raised separately from me, and not right underfoot. I feel the need to mention now that I am the eldest. I remember the exact day my mother told me I was getting another little brother."}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=13:36, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa=She doesn't care to mention that she doesn't know half of her siblings, only the ones that lived with her. "Gil and I are a bit of an unusual feat, I think. He's older than me, but he certainly acts younger."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=14:02, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Beth="My mother says this wonderful thing I cannot tell you where she got it. She says, you are are young as you feel. Something alone those lines. I call it her excuse for recklessness. In truth it is a beautiful thing to not be burdened by something like age."}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=14:06, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa=There was another pause for thought as Luisa considered what had been said. "Anyone who went to EESM would tell you that you're almost forced to mature there. As everyone knows, what happened there happened nowhere else." She shrugged, not exactly proud to be related to Brenna Amory although she never really associated with her.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=14:10, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Beth="What was it like? Before the end." *She would have figured you have to mature in any school setting. That in fact the point. She thought. Having a child, as a child does that as well. This of course is a situation on puts oneself in.* "I went to Beauxbâtons. Anyone who went there will tell you nothing ever happens there."}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=14:20, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa="It was very cliqued. I wasn't there when it started to go to hell, I'd graduated, but it was very much cliqued. You were sort of...frowned upon if you didn't have one, it was an almost dangerous position to be in. It wasn't really a problem I ever faced, we sort of had a quidditch clique at the time so I just joined that one and went through it. The Aces were after I'd graduated, I think." She was remembering some of that, she knew a few of her siblings had been there as it had all happened and then they'd written the book.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=14:29, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Beth="Almost makes me curious what they go through at Hogwarts. School was never of much interest to me. Cliques were even farther off my radar. I suppose I would say I was a bit like you, and I roamed with the other quidditch players. Until I stopped playing." *She paused.* "Knowing what you know know about your school would you make that same choice again? The quidditch clique?"}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=14:35, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa="I would, probably, or what was called 'the Sporties' although that was made up of skaters, and runners." Luisa thought about it a little more. "Gilbert told me it was a lot easier for him. He was a Gryffindor, he played on the same team as Ciara Rivers-Scott."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=14:29, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Beth=*Beth had a hearty laugh, only because one of her brothers shared that house. She did not think her brother and Luisa's that much alike.* "Gryffindor! My little brother is in Gryffindor. He is not a quidditch player, mind you, so I suppose there should not be much comparison." *Her laughter petered off.* "I cannot say I know much about Hogwarts housing system, I did not think Gil a Gryff. Or that he was so acquainted with the Rivers-Scott clan. Does the same go for you?"}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=14:46, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa=She shook her head. "I don't know the Rivers-Scotts that well, I was a Mielkute at EESM which is basically your equivalent of Hufflepuff. There were five Houses at EESM, Vorobyov which I think is Gryffindor, Boyanova which I would assume is Ravenclaw, Mielkute the Hufflepuffs and it is hard to say but both Kask, and Nikelkaj were Slytherin-ish."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=14:52, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Beth="So both." *She nodded.* "I was unaware some of these wizarding schools were so similar. I started in Portugal though. Perhaps there was something lost in translation that I missed, and only just now picked up on. I always assumed with magical education absolutely everything was the same. Except the language in certain countries, of course."}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=14:58, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa="Gil would have hated EESM, the work ethic varied too much and you were either on my father's side, or you weren't. It was sort of hard to be a conscientious objector, but of course I was always the former." Luisa brushes her hair back keeping the other hand on her broom to steady it. "I don't know exactly how similar they are but I would say Durmstrang is our closest match of the three."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=16:07, October 31, 2015 (UTC)|Beth="Knowing as little as I do. I have to agree. It sounds too much like what I grew up with at home. From what I have you say, your father and mine sound like two of the same kind of man. In our home it was his side or not, and not was usually equal to an unhappy living situation, if that were the option. He was a late-bloomer. Everything in my family is always blamed on blood." *She chuckled.* "I suppose I come from a household with a Durmstrang morality."}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=09:26, November 1, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa= Being surprised about the similarity between Rasskazov and Bethany's father, she managed to keep some of her thoughts about that to herself. In her own family there were the ones that were on his side, and the ones that weren't, the pattern being mostly that those who grew up at EESM were more likely to take his side, whereas the ones who didn't tended to be a little more bitter. Luisa was never really unhappy, but she presumed that was because she had placed herself in the former group. Her silence for thought was promptly ended by hearing Bethany's last statements. "We really are frighteningly similar."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=10:11, November 1, 2015 (UTC)|Beth="Perhaps we are each other's doppelganger." *She grinned.* "Everyone has similarities. That's what makes it so easy for some people to become friends, and others to become enemies. I think when they are, like you said, 'frightening' it just makes for a memorable interaction. It astounds me that you and I could come from separate parts of the world, different countries, while still remaining fairly close to another in proximity. Have our uniquely similar backgrounds, and never have met were it not for quidditch. Were it not for the choice to play in the British Irish League."}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=10:17, November 1, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa=Luisa laughs a little bit. "It'd be quite fun to have a doppelganger actually, so we could go with that." She nods as she listens, a little surprised again about how on earth she met someone much like herself. At the mention of Quidditch, that catches on and she grins. "Quidditch can make the strangest of things happen."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=10:34, November 1, 2015 (UTC)|Beth="We'll go with that. Doppelgangers are we." *She nodded.* "The pitch can introduce the strangest of bedfellows... at least that is where I met the majority of the people I know who are not direct relatives of mine." *She laughs realizing how antisocial she made herself sound.* "How did you get your start? Did you play quidditch as a child?"}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=10:37, November 1, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa="My father thought Quidditch far safer than its Russian relative, a lot of us used to play on entire uprooted trees." There's another laugh, this time laughing at how ridiculous that must sound. "My father didn't like it much, so he got me a broom instead and we started playing Quidditch. That's why we never played the version with trees at EESM."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:58, November 3, 2015 (UTC)|Beth="Playing on uprooted trees seems so much more rustic. Almost as if we pay homage to our wizarding roots." *She smiled in jest although she meant every word.* "From the perspective of a parent I have to agree with your father. I would have gotten you a broom as well. Before voicing my own opinion I would have thought your father was being overprotective of you. That was until I considered the saying 'better safe than sorry'."}}
=Padrino's Pizza Place=
*Bethany and Luisa
{{Lilly Mara|time=12:06, December 12, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa=The Kenmare seeker wasn't usually partial to pizza, or at least she didn't think she was, maybe it was a secret because she found herself in here time and time again.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:14, December 13, 2015 (UTC)|Beth=*Beth was drawn in by the smell of melted cheese. She could not admit to having a pizza craving, although she did love the smell. Looking around the the place she smiled to see Luisa nearby, and she moved to approach her.* "Hello again."}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=12:18, December 13, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa=She looked up, having been spoken to, and smiled too. "Hello," she replied, grateful that this time it wasn't Gil, or one of Gil's remaining former teammates.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=10:39, December 14, 2015 (UTC)|Beth=*Beth quite liked Luisa, and it was not often she got to see the people she actually liked, and so, she reached out to give her friendly hug.* "It's been... a while." *She laughed softly.* "How are you? Good, I hope."}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=17:52, December 15, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa="It has," she agreed with a small chuckle, accepting the hug offered to her. "I'm good, and you?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=11:21, December 16, 2015 (UTC)|Beth = "I'm doing well. At least I feel as if I have to say that. I'm grateful, and since I am I won't complain. I would love to sit with you, for a moment, and catch up if I could."}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=21:15, December 17, 2015 (UTC)|Luisa=She chuckled a little, because that was exactly how Luisa herself felt. "We can do that, I'd like that too," she agreed, rather embarrassingly having taken to Coca-Cola in recent days (mostly because she'd had to keep Gil and Julchen sober, so she'd done that herself) and already having a glass of that.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=17:00, December 19, 2015 (UTC)|Beth =*Beth joined Luisa ordering a glass of water for herself as she sat across from her former teammate.* "The last we talked I think you and your brother were still playing as opponents? Have the two of you ever considered playing as teammates?"}}
