Cora nearly went up to the castle to get some more warm clothes when a break came about. It wasn't like staying would really be worth anything as she couldn't even see what happening. But the Hogwarts students loved their quidditch and even though most of them couldn't see anything, all the students were staying. At least most of them were. Knowing Cora's luck, the moment she left something great would happen. She didn't want to risk it. Besides, she would feel way too guilty having left when T.J. was playing. She was really showing her support for her friend by being there for four hours and the game wasn't even over yet. This was especially so since she couldn't even see T.J. playing. It must have been Cora's Hufflepuff loyalty attribute that was keeping her there. Maybe she really, truly did belong in that house after all. 

The players were back out on the pitch though. For all Cora knew, though, that could have been a lie. In the fog she saw some darker shapes that were moving faster then the rest of the fog so those had to be the quidditch players. She really hoped they were rested and focused now so that the game could get going now. She wondered if they were even having fun. Quidditch was supposed to be fun, wasn't it? It would have been a grand adventure at least.  One that Cora lacked the skills to participate in more than simply sitting and watching - or trying to watch anyway.
