Patrick Rumbleroar

Odele sat on her bench, drinking the water they had set out of the players. She had gotten sick of talking to the cameras that followed her into the pitch to do the special for Quidditch draft, and so she had sent them off on their own to get action shots of the player hopefuls doing their thing.

Now she was just bored with this whole thing, and so she sat on the bench avoiding the eyes of the players that came and went to get their own water. Not many of them said anything to her anyway, either out of intimidation or simply because they were in their own little world. The few that did say hello, she gave a simple and curt 'hi' and then simply let them stand awkwardly there until they got the hint and moved along.

She had also been keeping an eye on the first interview she had conducted for the day, the Keeper named Peter. By far the guy had made the biggest impression, and she had no doubt that she would be interacting with him more in the future... in whatever form.

This was her thought when none other than Peter himself walked up to get some water. Raising her eyebrow to him she said," Well, well, if it isn't the best Keeper in the minor leagues." She grinned at him.

Lolz she doesn't know that Mr. Peter has a twin :P

The scouting combines were beginning in a few days, but all of the proceedings were already going on and Patrick and Peter were slowly meeting all of the executives for the League's many teams. He was sitting quietly on a bench when a woman walked up to him, apparently having met his brother - and Patrick briefly hesitated as he tried to decide whether or not he wanted to go with it or correct her.

At last he decided on the former and replied "Well you're right with the superlative, but I think you've got the position wrong." He smirked and said "Patrick Rumbleroar - Seeker, and next year's MVP Trophy winner. And who are you might I ask?"

[Odele Lennor]

Perhaps the guy was crazy? Now he was giving her another name and position? Or perhaps he was trying to be funny.

"Patrick is it now? Not Peter?" Odele grinned at him,"Perhaps, you decided after all that you were a little worried about my talent as a Keeper huh?"

Were she paying attention, she would have noticed that they were actually twins, but since she hadn't put two and two together yet she simply shrugged and took another drink from the water she was holding.

Looking at the girl quite oddly, Patrick said quite slowly "If you're looking for Peter he's talking to the manager of the Wimbourne Wasps. I'm Patrick - and while we're on the subject of talent I'd like to point out that Peter is the best Keeper on the planet." Patrick and Peter always talked each other up, and even though he didn't know who this woman was he was still going to defend his brother's abilities.

[Odele Lennor]

Odele looked back at the Wimbourne Wasp manager across the pitch and saw him talking to the spitting image of the man before her.

Turning back to him a big smile on her face she said simply," Twins? Well that's got some play value doesn't it? What girl can resist two great looking guys who are also sports stars?" Leaning forward she continued," Tell me, are you as charming as your brother, or is he the one that carries that torch?"

She wondered if these two knew how to play the media game. Peter had made such an impression on camera earlier, she was pretty close to sure that they did. She of course was also assuming that Patrick here was as good on the field as his brother. If he was, she hoped the two of them didn't let anyone take advantage of the 'gold mine' the two would be viewed as by talent scouts and agents.

Patrick winked at her and replied "Don't worry honey, I'm very approachable. As for Peter over there, well let's just say he's not quite so much fun as me, if you catch my meaning." Patrick was finding this to be quite amusing, and he leaned against the wall before saying "So what about you eh? What's your story?"

[Odele Lennor]

"My story?" Odele said with a raised eyebrow," Classic rags to riches I suppose."

Odele laughed, as it really wasn't a rags to riches tale at all, she simply got lucky. Having the solo in the show that her agent happened to be in attendance was all it really took. Then start the whirlwind that had become her career.

"Must be too busy practicing on your broomstick to pay attention to us music folk huh?" she queried with a grin," No matter, my story really isn't all that interesting, tell me yours."

Patrick laughed and said with a nod "Rags to riches eh? Well I suppose we all love a story with a happy ending don't we?" Patrick had no way of knowing that her comment had been an exaggeration to say the very least, and so he assumed that she was telling the truth, why would he not? When she asked him about his own tale, Patrick shrugged and said "Not a very interesting one, if you've spoken to my brother then you've already heard it." talking was not the goal right now.

[Odele Lennor]

Odele didn't really know what to say with Patrick's comment on happy endings," Uh... yeah, right," was all she could manage.

He went on to say that his story wasn't very interesting and that she'd probably heard it from his brother. Surely, two people didn't view themselves and their lives the same? She grinned at him," I can't recall what he said, why don't you clue me in?"

Patrick shrugged and replied simply "Well sadly the interesting part of the story hasn't been written yet, that part doesn't start for a few more weeks." he sniggered at his own joke before adding "But if you must know, I grew up in Liverpool, I went to Hogwarts, and I've generally raised all hell wherever I've gone."

[Odele Lennor]

"You don't say," Odele said as Patrick gave a very brief description of his life so far," Well I suppose that WOULD make joining a team the most interesting thing to happen. Depending on what hell you raised that is."

She glanced back at the other twin for a moment and then returned her gaze to Patrick," You two are close I take it? Hard not to be as twins I would imagine." She grinned at him.

"I think you're starting to get the idea." Patrick replied with a wink - though of course to say that his life had not been interesting thus far would be a grossly inaccurate statement to say the least. "Yeah, we're real close." Patrick replied when the girl questioned him about Peter, "With any luck we'll be on the same team when this is all said and done."

[Odele Lennor]

Odele nodded in agreement," A dynamic duo is hard to find on teams. You both would have it built in, since you're brothers and all. Would be a real waste if no team figures that out." Tilting her head to the side she asked," And what team are you hoping to join?"

Patrick did not even begin to think about it before replying "The Magpies." He and his brother had been die hard Montrose Magpies fan for the entirety of their lives, and the possibility of eventually becoming members of that storied team was almost too good to even possibly be true!

[Odele Lennor]

"Yeah the Magpies, they're great," Odele said. She didn't really know much about the other teams if she was honest, which she wouldn't be. This Quidditch thing she had going on, was a bit of a crash course about the sport. She obviously knew how to play and how the game worked, but she didn't know too much outside of team names when it came to the pros.

"What things outside of Quidditch do you like? " she asked next, hoping the subject could change to something she was more knowledgable about.

"Aside from Quidditch?" Patrick asked, looking around for a moment in thought "Well just generally being awesome I suppose - I really am quite good at that." No one had ever accused Patrick Rumbleroar of being modest, and no one was ever likely to either. "Now if you'll excuse me," the man continued without breaking pace "I've got a practice to attend." and just like that the man was gone.
