Flying through color-changing hoops? Easy. Zoryn could do this IN HER SLEEP. And would still win, probably. Because here's the thing, keepers didn't rely too much on flying speed and chasers had two other partners to pass to, but aside from the seeker no one else needed to keep their speed up throughout the game aside from the beaters. Because as a beater, Zoryn coveted two things and two things only: working fast and the element of surprise. And also causing a few major injuries if she had the chance, but this was besides the point.

The point was that Zoryn practiced speed constantly. And so, this activity? Had her name ALL. OVER. IT.

... If only she had been paying attention to Anna when the captain had tapped her parchment. Because that could've given the confident Gryffindor an indication that something was about to go wrong, which it did, but it was too late then.

Because Zoryn didn't waste even a moment. As soon as they were told to start she WHIZZED past that oompa-loompa of a first year (Cordelia) and began flying through hoops. One, two, then four. As she flew through them the hoops changed color to--

Changed color to--

CHANGED COLOR TO-????????????????????

Wait?!?!?!?!?!!?!!? These hoops were defective!!!!! They weren't changing colors????? The Gryffindor stopped in the middle of the air. What. was. going. on???? And so she few back through the hoop she had just gone through to make sure. No change. Okay.... She flew through another hoop a little further away this time. Still no change.

....... She had all but a moment of fear before cracking a grin. The thought hadn't yet occurred to her that it was only her hoops that weren't changing color. She had earnestly thought that it had been the particular hoops she had flown through. Defective hoops. Not an act of malice. And honestly, Zor was amused more than anything. Anna was horrible at putting a winning team together, but she was even worse at making sure her drills actually worked! It was pathetic. Hadn't she checked the hoops before coming up with this game?

HA!

Regardless of the lack-of-color change, Zoryn kept flying. Five. Six. Seven. Like she said, easy.
