 team practice starts here Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight
Practice time again, and for yet another year, Abra was despairing at just how cold a Scottish Highland winter could be. His practice robes and boots and leather fingerless gloves were well-equipped with warming charms but it just never felt like enough - wearing coats and non-Quidditch gloves and scarves out to practice just didn't work out, they were cumbersome and hindered progress and it wasn't like they could wear them in the games, so he put up with it. Grudgingly.
After lingering in the locker room for a few minutes to brace himself, Abra stepped out onto the cold pitch a few minutes before they were due to start, carrying his broom with him. At the middle of the pitch, he stopped, set his broom down, and started doing some star jumps. It was cold enough that he could see his breath appearing in front of him as he jumped, and again as he switched to running on the spot. Abra knew he probably looked like a bit of an idiot but... you know... a slightly warmer idiot than before.
But yes, he was willingly doing some exercise. To try to warm up and stay warm while he waited for everyone to appear, you know? Get the blood moving, make sure it was still reaching his extremities; it had nearly cost them a bunch of points in their last match when his fingers got so cold he could barely close them around the snitch.
