When not in use for games, the Quidditch Pitch is open for students to practice their Quidditch skills before attending team tryouts, and it's also open for students to practice their flying skills (make sure you get a broom from the Broomshed!)

Once the Quidditch season officially begins, team captains can 'book the field' with Professor Vindictus for practice and non-team members can watch practices occur. When practices aren't in session, the pitch is open for flying practice.

Note: This thread is for IC role playing and not chatter. All SS rules apply in this thread.

He had been distracted by other players in the air, especially the first year who had had so many questions for him at the opening feast. But as his gaze passed near the ground once more, Simon spotted but looked like a fight...well disagreement at least.

Deciding to at least get closer to see what was up, the sixth year finally noticed it was too housemates of his, one specifically being Lexi. Upon reaching the ground, he walked closer to the two just as Lexi turned to leave and the boy appeared to want to follow her or at least want her to stay.

"Is something going on here?" he asked a mix of curiousity and concern in his voice. If he thought about it there might of been a hint of him trying to take responsibility since they were Gryffindors and they were one the quidditch practice pitch.

She caught it when it was just a few feet above the ground. She arced back up to the girl's level.

"Here you are," Vashti said just before tossing the Quaffle towards the Gryffindor.

Witsy noticed her hesitation, kind of feeling a bit odd on her part. Her rational kicked in, have to stay on your toes...or in this case, your broom.
When the Ravenclaw picked up the pace Witsy was actually surprised by her reflex. Passing a slant smile she took the Quaffle.

"That was amazing, I wasn't quite sure you'd catch it. I'm Wisteria Hartly, you can call me Witsy. Could you practice with me?"

"Plus, I have a friend who is a girl and can hit a bat harder than any boys I know. AND she's in the Professionals." And probably better than you Lexi Denver because she didn't have antler's slowing her down.

The blonde shrugged, the pushed his hair out his eyes. "Maybe you should learn to take a joke, instead of agruing with people and talking to crazy ministry officials." Yeah. He had heard people talking about Lexi's meeting with Ikea.

Taking a deep breath Legend broke out in a quick pace, cutting her off. "Wait- don't go. I wanted to show you other aspects of Quidditch just in case you wanted to know. Being a Beater is all fine and dandy but you could like another position and not even know it." Looking at her he took a step to the left. "But if you want to go-" The sixth year head out his hand as if to usher her away.

It was her choice.

"It amazes me that you are still talking to me like that, Legend. Seriously. Are you trying to make it worse? You have absolutely no tact whatsoever. And who I speak to and HOW I speak to them does not concern you. And unless you have been eavesdropping on my conversations with Sabel, there is no way that you should know that I met withMr. Gevrik. And furthermore, if you must know I went to ask him why he was really here, not to play exploding snap and have a cuppa," she said in a less pleasant tone as she turned around to face him once more.

...

Then Simon showed up. Smiling indulgantly at him. SEE. SEEEEE! He was NICE, Legend Chosen. NICE. "I don't know... IS there something more here, Legend?"

Then Simon showed up. Smiling indulgantly at him. SEE. SEEEEE! He was NICE, Legend Chosen. NICE. "I don't know... IS there something more here, Legend?"

Legend frowned as Lexi began to yell at him. Alright so...maybe he had been rude? It had come off naturally to him really. But he wasn't going to apologize.

She had hurt his feels too. He wasn't a Chauvinistic pig.

Sniffle.

The sixth year shook his head as she continued. He wasn't ease dropping...she had had that fight with Sabel in the common room? And he had heard about Ikea. But he wasn't going to say any of this outloud, she would just say it was being rude or something.

Legend looked over as the Quidditch Captain showed up. Was there something more there? "I thought...you wanted help?" He said in a confused voice. The sixth year sighed, he was annoyed and he could already feel his anger rising. "Never mind, sorry." He said looking at both of them. Jumping onto the broom he kicked off and flew into the air. He needed to calm down, and relax.

Lexi watched Legend frown and furrowed her brow. First he was rude then he got his feelings hurt. Sighs. "Look, I do want help, but your attitude is uncalled for."

...

Then he was on his broom and flying away. Well, then. Shrugging her shoulders she turned to look at Simon and shrugged once more. Boys... she would never understand them.

Simon watched as Lexi turned back around to yell at her companion. Legend she identified, a boy he had seen around...had classes with but never really aquainted. And when she noticed him and asked Legend, the captain followed her attention awaiting to see his response. His eyebrow almost raised as he could sense the other boy had something more to say but instead flew off in a huff. Perhaps for the better for Simon himself knew the same logic...that a good fly helped clear the head.

Turning his attention back to Lexi, his fellow Carlton protector where they had first really met, Simon tilted his head ever so slightly relaxed. "You ok?" he asked wanting to make sure even though it wasn't really his business to know what it was about. Hence why he asked only about her wellbeing.

Suddenly, his sense of adventure had run off. He eyed the other people flying about uneasily, preoccupied with chiding himself about acting before thinking. His knuckles where white where they gripped the very fragile-looking broomstick as if his life depended on it--because, well, it would once he was air born.

He inhaled, trying to bolster his courage. Huff-puff! You're already out here, Derian, now man up and fly. "Easier said than done," He muttered in reply to his thoughts. He was probably going to die, he just knew it. The lycan in him agreed emphatically, not liking the prospect of losing contact with the ground it so loved.

"Easy there, killer. Calm down. Loosen the grip on your broom. If you aren't relaxed there's no way you'll stay on," Chris said, seeing Derian's nervousness. "Sorry about being so rude to your brother... he just.. reminds me of some people. You feeling any better?" she said. She held back her urge to ask him about why he had been upset. Yes, some girl tried to drug him, but there was something behind it. He'll tell you if he wants to, Chris. All you can do to help him now is be there and distract him.

Lexi looked up and watched Legend flying for a moment and then looked back at Simon. Giving a shrug she said, "Yeah. I am used to people being in my personal business all the time, actually. Nothing new. People are rude a lot as well. Thanks for asking, though."

He was relieved by Chris's appearance and he smiled at her, "Yeah... I did not... actually think that I'd be flying when I signed up for Quidditch tryouts." He ran a hand through his hair and then did what she said by loosening his death-grip on the broomstick.

He knew she was concerned about him--he heard the unasked questions--but he did not know how to go about talking to her about everything that was so suddenly going on in his life. He would just have to show her that he valued and trusted her in other ways, because he did. "Yes, I am fine. Thanks for asking. Rafe and I talked about it and we reached an... understanding of sorts. Its just complicated between us with how much our lives have changed so abruptly. Last month, we had no idea each other existed; this month, we're expected to be happy-go-lucky siblings, on command of our shared father. It takes some adjusting to."

He hoped she would be satisfied with that for now, he could almost smell her hurt at being so left out of the loop. Blinking, he changed the subject, "Now! Would you show me how to f-fly this thing?" He tried not to sound too scared of his imminent death.

MoviegoerKinz · 01-09-2011, 05:58 AM

Could Rafe not catch a break?! This was his turf, not Derian's! Oh Merlin, Rafe thought, Please don't tell me Derian is trying out for Quidditch!?! Please, oh, please! How embarassing would it be to have your little brother on the same team as you!? And even worse, what if he was better than you? Rafe didn't want to think about it. He just needed to concentrate on Arabella as she continued to practice throwing the quaffle towards the hoops.

It was so distracting though. Why was Derian so wobbly? Did he not know how to fly? It wasn't that hard. Why was he strangling the broom? Rafe just shook it off. He'd never do well with practice if he was constantly distracted by Derian everytime they ran into each other. For now Rafe just ignored him and just concentrated blocking the quaffle.

Chris smiled, getting the message that the subject was now closed. "Yeah, sorry about that. A little flying is required to play Quidditch. First, I would like you to meet your broom. Your broom is not some random piece of a tree. That broom is now your friend. You have to trust it. If you really want to fly, really get what that feels like, your broom has to be a part of you. The school brooms have some balance issues, and it's nothing like having your own with you, but you'll get the feel for it. Stay loose. Don't panic. Ever. Think you can handle it?" she knew she sounded like a complete Quidditch geek, but she really was. She wanted Derian to feel what Quidditch was really like. It wasn't just a game. It was another world.

At her instruction, Derian furrowed his brows and focused on his broom. he held it loosely and stared at it as though he was trying to see through it to the thing's soul. He also tried to soften the tension that had stiffened his frame, "I can certainly try to... you know, handle it." The thing about the balance issues worried him, and he couldn't stop picturing a long, terrifying death; but he resolved to prevent it from interfering with his determination. He shook his head to dispel his thoughts, trying to do his best to be a good pupil for Chris. The passion in her voice inspired him about the sport.

"Alright, kick off from the ground. Hard. Don't lean. Don't try to really go anywhere. Just get ready to hover. Trust. Know that you're going to fly," she said. "The only thing that could really stop anyone from flying is not believing they can do it. If someone as hopeless as me can do it, you can too."

Legend had no problem with flying. It felt good to be in the air. Doing a last loop in the air he headed back down toward the ground. Softly landing next to Lexi and the Captain dude he nodded. "Sorry for being rude Lexi and Captain dude, the words just came out." He shrugged. He wouldn't say that it wouldn't happen again because..it could. "And I know girls can be Beaters and that you are a terrific Beater. Otherwise I wouldn't even offer to help people, because I only help the best." Legend grinned, then held out his hand as a form of apology.

Lexi watched Legend with a quirked eyebrow as he landed beside she and Simon and apologized. Smiling only slightly she shook her head, "Stuff happens. And flattery will get you everywhere, Legend." Laughing slightly she rolled her eyes and asked, with a HUGE grin on her face, "So... does my hair look okay?" Antlers. It's okay to laugh. Really. Hehe.

Luna_Midnight · 01-09-2011, 06:45 AM

Nerida walked up on the field and looked for a friend, a fimilar face...someone to practice with she looked around and she saw Selina but she looked busy...She smiled and tightened her grip a little on her brothers broom...he wasnt using it since he was sick...She looked around the practice area nervousily...

"Right."

He straddled his broom and... jumped... as hard as he could; and, to his immense surprise, he found that the broom was holding him suspended in mid-air. Granted, his feet were centimeters off the ground, but he was legitimately flying a broomstick for the very fist time. He barked a delighted laugh that threw him off equilibrium, and he quickly fought to regain his balance. Even this high off the ground (which was actually low), he didn't want to fall.

"... N-now what?" His voice was hoarse with anxiety; but, strangely, he found he was excited as well.

"Huh...flattery eh?"Hm, he had to remember that the next time he made another insane teenager girl angry. Did her hair look okay? Legend choked back laugh. "Yoou really don't want to know the answer to that."After all, they didn't want to fight again. Alright, he was ready to train now! "Grab your bat. Let's go." He wouldn't let the bludger out just yet. After all they had to train first. Leaping on the the broom Legend let it lift him off the ground a few inches.

Selina looked to see the Captain staring right at her. With a blazing look in her eye she took off like a cannon ball. She zoomed left and right and avoided all of the new comers on the field. The fact that the Captain was watching could not affect her game. She had too much to improve. Working everyday for the past four summers would not go to waist if she could help it.

Holding the Quaffle tightly she zoomed and moved out of the way of many a first year who were trying to fly to make the team. She continued to run through her drills, but in the sight of her eye was always the Captain. She had hoped he was not judging her too harshly.

"I have to laugh about this sometimes," she said with a wink as she touched an antler with the side of her hand. Had to. Lexi then swung her broom down off of her shoulder and mounted it, kicking off she held on with one hand as she held the bat in the other. Her pink broom shot up into the air past Legend and she let out a little giggle. Hhhmmmm. The wind kind of... whistled through her antlers. Interesting. Focus.

After she was a few feet above him she went into a dive and pulled up right as she reached his side. "Ready. Let's go," she said with a grin.

"Course, until it goes away. You should really see the Healer though." She was one person who would know what to do. Legend watched as Lexi played around on her broom. It was a like a warm up so he didn't mind. "I have got to ask. What's with the pink broom." Pink. Not really a good color.

"Woah, calm down Speedy Gonzales, we have to go over some basics of this move first." Made sense right? Right. At least to him. "So how well do you know the Bludger Backbeat?" That is if she knew it at all, because if she didn't that meant alot more work.

Lexi shrugged when he mentioned the Healer. Nah. She was fine. It was just a little wandwork. "It was a gift. Personalized with my name here, and pink because I love pink so much... and not to mention it is fast. My brother gave it to me for my birthday," she said with a smile as she pointed to her name down the handle.

"Bludgers backbeat is when the beater hits the bludger behind them with a back hand swing... confuses the opponents," she said in immediately. "Haven't ever tried it, but I know the basic idea."

Arabella-Marie nodded and took the quaffle under her arm and tried to keep her movements under control like Rafe had said and zigzagged between the hoops trying to distract Rafe and put a barrel roll in and launched the quaffle towards the right hoop hoping that she had done enough to distract Rafe and score

Between Derian and Arabella, Rafe was completely distracted. He zoomed left when he should've zoomed right and he tried to fix the mistake, but it was too late and the quaffle went through the hoop. Rafe zoomed to the ground and picked up the quaffle then threw it back to Arabella. "Good job!" he yelled. Arabella definitely showed potential.

Walking out onto the pitch, Kay smiled. Seeing all the people practicing she looked for some Hufflepuffs. Looking she only saw one. It was Rex's girlfriend. As she watch Rene, she got on her own broom and kicked off. Fly again was great. Speeding around the pitch to get the feel of things, Kay wave her beater bat around. Had to get the feel of it again and flying one handed. Smiling at the fact that there would be Quidditch she continued to fly around the pitch.
