Who: Peacock/Patricia [personal profile] bureaucracy_is_for_chumps & Kyle [personal profile] learnedsomething, however it is open to anyone! Feel free to threadjack and catch them spying or wonder what these whippersnappers are up to!
Where: In the shrubbery near the Quidditch Pitch.
When: Just after lunch in the Hogwarts Dining Hall on June 14th.
Rating: G to PG because these are two kids not afraid of cussing.
Summary: Kyle and Peacock Patricia spy on the Slytherin Quidditch team practicing.
The Story:
Shit. Patricia couldn't help but feel kind of like a heel as she ran down the fields toward the Quidditch Pitch. She had made a deal with Kyle to meet up with him after lunch, but she had gotten herself a bit side-tracked... what with all her morning classes and dealing with the birds that were so eagerly being tugged along.

Avery, a little brighter than usual waddled behind her, and in her arms is the chicken that Professor Pinkie declared she had to keep on her at all times. Patricia secretly hoped she'd still be rainbow the next time she went to Divination class.

When she spots that Kyle is still there it earns a sound of relief and she slides down the hill and smacks him on the back--hard--with a grin.

"Sorry, got held up. They do anythin' interesting?" And out from her robes she produces a Treacle Tart, breaks it in half and offers it to the Ravenclaw.

Souji's spent most of practice trying to convince his Beaters to double as Chasers, but man, that has not been working spectacularly. While they start to argue like toddlers again, he glances around and notices something's up over yonder.

Instructing his Seeker to, you know, do stuff, Souji circles around and touches down nearby Patricia and Kyle. He crosses the few steps between him and them and stands with his broom over his shoulder like a bat. Despite the semi-threatening stance, his expression and tone are neutral.

"What are you doing?"

Kyle fights to keep his expression neutral, then gives up and goes for annoyed. It's more natural for him, anyway, and with the brightly coloured birds probably alerting the whole school to their presence, he's got a good place to lay the blame. Stupid brightly coloured...project from a teacher.

"What do you think we're doing?" he retorts, pointing at the chicken. "We're doing research for Professor Pie. She thinks that chickens have fortune telling powers when it comes to flying. Right?"

He glances at Patricia, hoping she'll back him up and explain the project more clearly.

"...You're doing divination homework at the quidditch pitch." He looks from one of them to the other. "...On a date."
learnedsomething: (annoyed)

[personal profile] learnedsomething 2012-06-16 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
"Homework gets me hot," Kyle says, still glaring at Souji. "Do you have a problem with us displaying exemplary time management skills? If not, we'd like to get back to our privacy. Or, whatever." He turns to Patricia. "Do you have a voyeurism kink?"

For the love of all that is good in the world, please, please, please say no, dude, he silently prays.
eatsyourscience: (but it seems that things aren't changing)

[personal profile] eatsyourscience 2012-06-16 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
"During quidditch practice." Right next to the pitch.

Notice how his expression and posture and tone have changed not at all. Souji will deadpan you both into submission.

"Ugh, are you even listening?" Kyle tugs on his hat in frustration. "Professor Pie thinks that this bird will be able to tell the outcomes of Quidditch matches. How are we going to train the chicken to predict the Quidditch future if it doesn't know what Quidditch is? Birds don't come with that info built in, you know!"

He really hopes Souji doesn't actually ask Professor Pie about this. She loves any excuse to rip off his hat and make his afro burst out. He can visualise a detention of that happening over and over all too well.

"You both play. Take him to your own practice."
learnedsomething: (pout)

[personal profile] learnedsomething 2012-06-16 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
"We will." No, they won't. Well, Patricia will have to, but Kyle has no intention of doing that. "But we wanted her to see as much Quidditch as possible. It's a really important project."

Hey, chickenbutt, did you catch that? This douche called you a boy. Kyle frowns at the chicken, willing her to go torment Souji like she'd tormented him. Go shit on his shoes or something useful.
eatsyourscience: (you had better be on FIRE)

Souji sighs through his nose and gets his wand out from under his practice jersey. He points it at Cluckles and speaks blandly.

"Depulso."

Luckily, chickens have wings, so she doesn't exactly get shot away from him like a cannonball.

Kyle ducks out of the way, not wanting to get whacked with a writhing chicken, and gapes at Souji.

"What the fuck, dude? You can't manhandle teacher's pets! I mean, literally, a pet that belongs to a teacher. That you just blasted."
eatsyourscience: (I'm so gangster I'm so thug)

[personal profile] eatsyourscience 2012-06-16 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Souji takes half a step back but is unperturbed.

"Your chicken went somewhere over there." He nods in the general direction Cluckles flew off in. "You should probably get going."

"I'll get her, dude," Kyle says. He dashes over to the chicken and tries to grab it. "Come here, you little asshole!"

The chicken has had enough of Kyle's dickery and waddles over. He snatches it and screams.

"JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!"

His hands are blistering where the chicken has touched them. Professor Pie wasn't lying about them burning people who hurt them. Luckily, Kyle is a chaser. And chasers are good at throwing and catching. Which asshole deserves a burning chicken to the face? The Slytherin douche, that's who. So Kyle throws the bird at his face.
eatsyourscience: (what is this I don't even)

[personal profile] eatsyourscience 2012-06-16 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Souji jerks and on reflex reaches out to catch the chicken with one hand. He's lucky he's wearing his gloves; he nearly drops Cluckles as it is.

While Patricia goes to help Kyle and Cluckles singes the edges of his sleeves, Souji drops his broom and quickly uses a charm to get the chicken to stop being on fire. And to think he hadn't thought charms class today was worth the time.

So now Cluckles is a little frosty around the edges, but she's not on fire or hurt anymore.
learnedsomething: anime style kyle is angry! (angriest)

Kyle shoves his hands in Patricia's face, trying to move them as little as possible. Both of his palms have turned into one giant blister and there are smaller ones running up his fingers. Quite aside from the fact that it really fucking hurts, he's got another complaint.

"Dude, tell me you know a charm for burns. Do you know how much time I spend in the hospital wing already? Too fucking much!"

He scowls at Souji and his lack of serious injury. Maybe Patricia's time could be better spent kicking his ass.
eatsyourscience: (this is old school)

[personal profile] eatsyourscience 2012-06-17 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Souji comes over and hands the chicken off to Patricia.

"Hold your hands out."

As long as Kyle does so, Souji uses a charm to cool the burns and lower the swelling.

"God, dude, don't get all worried," Kyle tells Patricia as his hands are healed. "You've done way worse damage with bludgers." He looks at Souji. "Thanks, I guess."

He looks at the cause of all their problems - no, not the fact that they were spying, the chicken - and is pleased to see that it seems to be shivering a little.
eatsyourscience: (say what you have to say)

[personal profile] eatsyourscience 2012-06-17 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Souji nods. "Sometime."

He goes to retrieve his broom. "Stop spying on my team. You already have enough of an advantage."
learnedsomething: kyle is smiling but not very much (small smile)

[personal profile] learnedsomething 2012-06-18 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
"What advantage? Our general awesomeness? Not that we were spying in the first place. Just educating the chicken."

Which sounds like it should be a euphemism for something, but Kyle can't think what.
eatsyourscience: (colors all fade to gray)

[personal profile] eatsyourscience 2012-06-18 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"See you."

Souji collects his broom and goes to re-join his team's practice.
