 Post 1 - Seeker time! curly haired prefect - "sometimes I get angry!" - 30/90 - *chicken emoji* - probably @ Disney - I speak dog
Nettie perked up when she heard Kirk exclaim that he was going to release the snitch next. YES! The moment she had been waiting for. She turned to Chloe, who had announced earlier that she was going for Seeker too, and grinned at her. "Good luck!" she called with a wink before turning back to Kirk. She watched as he released the snitch, and then WHOOSH - it was gone.
Immediately, she took off towards the direction she had seen it going. It had whizzed away quickly, but it had gone towards the north end of the pitch - so that was where she headed. Her eyes scanned the lower end of the pitch, then scanned upwards - she had a system that she had used playing in her youth league.
Sure enough, a few moments after she had begun her methodical scanning, she spotted it fluttering past one of the goal hoops. She leaned down and ZOOOOOMED towards it, barely blinking so she kept it in her sights. She grinned as she zoomed faster and faster (this school broom was making REALLY good time!) when it made a sharp turn towards the sky - she gripped the handle hard, slammed on the breaks and then made a quick turn so she was moving upwards.
Her hand outstretched, she accelerated, going nearly vertical now - until she felt her fingers wrap around the cool gold casing of the snitch. YESSSS! She pumped her fist in the air triumphantly and then released the snitch again. She watched as it fluttered away, and she stopped to catch her breath. Maybe she'd let Chloe get this one...be a good teammate and all...
Nah. She'd just take a moment and then go after it again. Hehehe. Sorry not sorry - Quidditch was serious business!
