Sure she may have picked a position when she signed up, but Cassie would put more emphasize on what position she DIDN’T want more than what she was interested in. She didn’t want to limit herself in case there was a strength for something she hadn’t be aware she had. Beater wasn’t the one she preferred not to play so she was alright with trying out with the beater bat. At least they would be sparred actually fighting against bludgers this time around which was a blessing. Moving to the trunk full of them, she grabbed one of the bats and resituated herself on her broom to be ready for the signal, the bat grasped tightly in her right hand as she balanced a one-handed grip on the broom.
three.... two... one…
Cass was off and flying like their house’s mascot. She spotted her housemates as they rose up into the sky as well, now she just had to take notice of the charmed balls as they moved and bounced around. There was one! But not all that close to her as she flew. Not that she had to worry as the next one flew closer and the seventh year took a shot at it. She got a piece of it but not too controlled as she would have liked so nowhere near one of the hoops. It was alright for a first try, she just wasn’t going to give up and hope she could improve from there.
Whoops!
One zoomed past her feet and she had nearly kicked it in passing. That would have been bad had it been a bludger but she had’t been able to swerve in time with its sudden appearance to try and hit it. But the next one….the next one was HERS when she flew towards it or it flew towards her, depending on whose perspective you were going by. And she was near the hoops so maybe it would be a two-fer of success. She lined it up with her arm and borrowed bat and swung with her might.
THWACK!
It hit! And this time towards something. Cassie watched with curiousity and nervousness to see where it went, smiling as it landed through one of the hoops at the edge of the pitch. WOOT! Take that faux bludger. Now to go after some more, the girl’s eyes already keeping an eye out as she flew off.
