Aria jumped up and down in her seat screaming in exuberance. "I can't believe we WON!!!!" She danced around her seat and into the isle until the crowd was quieting down. She was still ecstatic as she skipped back to her seat and grabbed her last bit of cookie, eating it with a huge smile on her face.

Aria found Millie in the after-excitement of the game and gave her a hug. "I'm sorry, the excitement of the game and loud crowd made me miss some of what you said about your mum. However, I gather that she bakes German and British delights." Aria smiled, hoping that she hadn't hurt her feelings. "I think it's neat that you mum has a witch help her with magical treats to sell in her shop. She sounds very clever, your mum does!"

Stella was so happy everyone seemed excited for her latest surprise. "Yes, flying if you want. I'm sure the Harpies will be happy to show tricks and stuff as well."

One of the Harpies waved to Stella. "Okay everyone we can go down now!" She led them down onto the pitch where the Harpies were waiting with a bundle of brooms. "Ask, fly, socialize anything you want."

Merlin was super excited so he grabbed a broom and went up high as fast as he could. 'Think dragon flight.' He tried to do the same maneuvers he did when flying with his own wings and some worked others were not the same. "How did I did Stella? Am I too bad?"

"Wow, it must have been so unbelievable to grow up in a dragon sanctuary and to be born there for that matter! I can only imagine what you could have seen while growing up" Ellie said in astonishment.

Ellie was so excited to go down to the pitch. As soon as she made it down there, she grabbed a broom and started flying around the stadium -- Ellie really enjoyed flying and began to think about trying out for the team at school.

"You did very well Merlin! I'm so proud of you. You've gotten much better since last time I saw you fly," Stella said with a broad smile.

Stella watched as the girl she didn't know flew. 'Not bad' she thought. She was so happy seeing everyone enjoying themselves.

Merlin beam, he was happy to know he has improved a bit. "Thanks Stella, I tried flying like a dragon but its not the same with a broom, can't get the same feel." He giggles.

"Well truth is I can't imagine living anywhere else, even at Hogwarts I miss my home and the dragons. They are my family."

"Well I've never flown like a dragon but I imagine its quite a bit different. Still maybe you'll have to keep practicing to get the same feeling?"

Millie smiled at Aria (). "It's okay. That was a really exciting finish! And yes, my mum is very clear" she said as she was walking quickly down to the pitch.

She was looking out for a nice broom she could borrow for the time being and spotted one. She pulled her wand from her back pocket and said, "Accio broom". Her chosen broom flew into her hand and she took off on it. She loved the feeling of a cool wind hitting her face and flowing through her hair. She didn't fly often but she still felt graceful when she did

"Thank you Stella, I will practice more still I prefer flying with my own wings." He smiled giving a mischievous look to his face. "Unfortunately I can't transform anywhere."

Merlin followed Millie on the broom and made sign for her to follow. "Want to play? I'm pretty bad but we can have a bit of fun."

Stella watched as Millie took to the air as well. She was also good. "I'd love to have wings, myself," Stella said. She looked sad she couldn't fly. "Yeah, please don't do that, Merlin," she said with a little giggle.

Millie smiled, "Yeah I do. Let's go!"

Millie smiled and waved to Stella ()

"Don't worry Stella, I won't. I know when I can do it." Merlin nods seriously.

Merlin took one of the balls and started playing with Millie best they could, some of the other students joined them and they had a little match with one of the Harpies as coach. "I scored a point! It must be my lucky day!"

Ellie looked over at Merlin (), "I feel like I'd miss my home too if I lived in a dragon sanctuary" she said grinning. joined in to the make-shift Quidditch match.

Before they were going to leave the field, Ellie realized she had never actually introduced herself to Mrs. Lee () or thanked her, even though she had reminded herself prior to the game starting before. Oy, well that was rude of me she thought to herself. Ellie saw Stella on the ground, flew down and landed. "Hello Mrs. Lee" Ellie said almost sheepishly, "I never got the chance to introduce myself before, I'm Ellie" she said holding her hand out. "I apologize for not introducing myself earlier, I seem to have gotten caught up with everything, but I cannot thank you enough for setting up such an awesome trip!"

Stella enjoyed watching the kids play. She smiled as Ellie introduced herself. "No worries, I'd've done the same thing. I'm so glad you've enjoyed yourself."

She nodded to Merlin. He was a smart boy.

Eventually the day was over and she made sure all the students were ready to go home. It was a fantastic day.

((This concludes the outing, thank you all for playing and hope you had a good time.))

Aria enjoyed the beautiful day and atmosphere so much that she lingered around long after many students had gone off, either home or riding their brooms. She sat on the field and enjoyed the smell and feel of the grass as it was heated by the suns bright rays. She had experienced so few happy times in her childhood that she relished every small glimmer of peace and love as it came into her heart. She felt perfectly content at that moment and leaned into it, allowing her entire mind to be soaked by the experience.

"There really is nothing better than being outdoors on cheery days such as this one, right mom?" She sighed happily and looked up towards her mom, Stella. She wasn't sure if her mother had heard her but it didn't really matter much, as she simply enjoyed being with her new mom and brother, Magnus.

The thought of her brother made her look for him amidst the students. She wasn't sure if she'd be able to pick him out in the crowd. After scanning around for a few seconds she spotted him, talking to Merlin.

(( - not sure exactly where Magnus is but last I recall he had been talking with Merlin. If he's not just let me know and I can edit the info.))

Millie managed to grab the ball and flew it close enough for her to toss it in the middle hoop. "There's a point!" she beamed. She looked around and saw Stella trying to ring everyone in. "Oh, I guess it's time to go". She lowered herself and returned the broom where she found it

"Thank you for a wonderful evening, Stella! It was so much fun. In fact, thank you isn't a enough" Millie gave Stella a hug. ()

Millie went to Aria and gave her another hug. "It was wonderful seeing you" ()

((A giant THANK YOU to for hosting this RP event! It was wonderfully done!))

((Thanks rave for all the effort and fun event! ))

"Well thanks for everything Stella, see you soon Magnus!" He gave him a quick hug. "This was wonderful can't wait o tell everyone back home."

"Had fun Millie, thanks for playing and hanging out with me. Later!"

He waved to everyone and said proper goodbyes as he left the place, it had been a wonderful day. Merlin had all the fun he never imagined and went back home with stories of the Harpies, the players and his friends who made the day even better. He was happy to go and now had a favorite quidditch team.

Aria was joyfully surprised when Millie returned from her flight and gave her a hug. "Thanks!" She smiled brightly, "I had a great time catching up with you. I'll see you soon!" She waved goodbye to the girl and sat back down on the grass field. She noticed a small flower and fingered its petals gently while humming softly to herself.

(())

"Yes indeed," Stella said, "Its been a really good day. Ready to go darling?" She called to Magnus so he'd come.

"Aww, I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself." Stella beamed.

"Goodbye sweetie, see you soon!" Stella waved. "I 'ad a great day! Bye Merls. Come on Aria, lets go home." Magnus was all smiles.

((aww thanks I'm glad you liked <3 it was a challenge to write lol.))

Aria slowly stood up and stretched. "Yup, I'm ready!" She looked over at Magnus and smiled brightly.

"Did you have a fun time too Magnus?" She handed him the flower that she'd been playing with after picking it.

(( - Thanks for doing this, you rock so much!!))
