That sunday, Jeongin woke up feeling the excitement of the upcoming match growing on him already.

Ignoring the protests of his roommates – Beomgyu especially – he made his way to the common bathroom they shared, to get ready before the others could wake up and reclaim their place.

"I see you got ready at last!" he screamed to Beomgyu when he finally saw the friend descending the staircase – as he'd woken up so early, he'd decided to wait for his friends to finish getting ready in the common room.

Beomgyu rolled his eyes. "Innie, it's eight o'clock on a sunday morning, the match starts at eleven. How could you expect us to wake up at six to accomodate your needs?"

"That sounds kinky, not gonna lie", replied Jeongin, faking a disgusted reaction.

Beomgyu hit him; and so Jeongin thought it best to change topic: "Do you actually think the two weirdos are going to spend all sunday searching for a boggart?" he asked misteriously.

Beomgyu shook his shoulders. "That's what they screamed yesterday, isn't it? Either way, they're free to do what they want, I guess. Only I wish they'd sometimes attend matches. This could prove helpful for when Ravenclaw is playing". Beomgyu sighed: although he was not apart of the House's team, he was a big supporter.

"Well, the rest of the team is going though, aren't they?" asked Jeongin, just to make sure.

"Yeonjun told me so – and they'd better, because it's been going on for awhile now that the Slytherins have gathered up quite the team. We shall see today" replied Beomgyu, confirming Jeongin's predictions: there was no way Yeonjun wouldn't attend a Quidditch match – he was capitain after all, it was to be expected.

While talking, the two friends and the rest of their company had reached the Big Hall, breakfast food already smathered everywhere on the four long tables.

Jeongin grabbed a few slices of toasted bread, alongside a fuming cup of his favorite pumpkin milk. Beomgyu helped himself to a nice bowl of porridge.

In the Hall as well, it looked like all the chatting was pretty much only concerning the match: the tension between the two playing Houses was at its peak that day, making it compulsory for professor Longbottom to stay close to the entrance to make sure that eventual Gryffindors or Slytherins wouldn't get hurt by the rival house.

The young Ravenclaw was enjoying calmly his breakfast, focusing only on the food, when all the chatting suddenly grew wilder and got him to lift his head by a little.

"The Slytherins have arrived", informed him Beomgyu, though there was no need to: all the excitement couldn't be because of nothing else but one of the two teams finally making their appareance, and after awhile at Hogwarts – as Felix liked to say – "one grows accostumed to recognizing a House by its screams".

(And as for that, truth be told, Jeongin had a specific idea, that never he missed the opportunity to explain: Ravenclaws' screams were not too high, but not too dull either – the perfect mixture that made the House look composed even during a quarelling session. Hufflepuffs' were strange, often extra: the house did not like to hold back when they could go all out. Gryffindors' could be easily recognizable as the wildest and most felt: there was this sort of sense of community that made them come together whenever needed. And Slytherins', lastly, were the meanest: Jeongin didn't belive it to be necessarily a bad thing, but the Slyths did know how to make people feel scared or insecure just by the tone they used).

"Davies, Doyle, Kang, Song, Hwang, Kim..." named Beomgyu as he watched the team making its way up to the table. "Wait – we're missing one member... oh nevermind, there he is. Lee", he concluded, proud of himself for remembering everyone's surnames.
