5th Floor Common Room - Starting at 11am FHT Sunday

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter had his St. George's cross flag close by as he waited impatiently for the match to begin.  England vs. Ecuador with continued participation in the World Cup at stake.

He had run down to J, GOB ostensibly to get some pastries to share for breakfast but really because he couldn't sit still any longer so there was a selection of muffins and doughnuts on one of the tables.

Now for the football to start...


[OOC:  Open to all!  Come cheer for England!  Or Ecuador if you must]

"Up England!" Pippi chimed as she flounced in.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Up England, indeed!" Peter replied with a grin. "Hopefully we'll be as happy tonight as Nadia was yesterday!"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Up England!" Walter agreed. "Argentina will have to make it up to Sweden on Friday by trouncing Germany."

Willow waved. "Hi, Pippi! Are we rooting for the same team this time?"

Conner came barging in just in time for the match to begin. He'd dressed for the occasion, in a shirt with a Union Jack pattern just like the one in the icon.

"Let's go England!" he whooped as he vaulted himself over the back of a couch and landed with a high bounce on the seat. "I am so ready for more celebrating."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Up England!" Peter replied with a grin. "I'm right there with you!"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Huzzah!"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Hey Conner!" Willow said.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter arrived, ready to watch England trounce Ecuador. Football might not be his obsession as it was for some, but there was national pride to consider.

"Are we ready to celebrate?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"No celebrations yet!" Peter replied with a grin. "We don't want bad luck."

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

Conner waved at him. "If we do, are you gonna run around wearing a flag like Nadia?"

What? That would totally be worth seeing.

Willow passed by the common room and saw there were people in it. She poked her head in the door. "Oo, are we being footie fans?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"We are most definitely being footie fans!" Peter replied enthusiastically, jumping up and bounding to the door to give her a hug. "Up England!"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Yes! We are definitely being fans today." Walter said, nodding and smiling. "I'm Walter, by the way. I don't think we've met."

Draco showed up, ready to cheer England. The last few weeks he had been getting into football. He had given up hope that the school would start a Quidditch team.

"Go us!" he said, sitting down. "Who are we playing again?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Ecuador!" Peter replied with a grin. "We're up 1-0"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Draco," Willow said. "How's it going?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Go us! And we'll be sending Ecuador home today!" Walter held up his ginger beer and grinned.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Equidor." Pippi answered him holding out one of Walter's ginger beers.

Nadia stumbled in just a bit late for the game, wearing white framed sunglasses, a red shirt, and blue jeans. Just because she was hung over didn't mean she'd forgotten Walter's statement about wearing body paint.

She slumped onto a couch and peered at the game.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter nodded to Nadia. "Morning!" he said. "Come to cheer for England?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter bounced over to sit next to her, grinning at her choice of colors. "You missed it!"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"YAY ENGLAND!" Pippi cheered as Nadia sat down.

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras poked her head into the common room and looked around.

"Hey, did I miss the pancakes?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Pancakes?" Walter looked up. "I didn't know there were pancakes planned for the match today?"
