A Downright Beastly Game

[Theodore Snow]

It hadn't really taken him long to locate the small albino girl and begin to drag her to the Quidditch pitch, Andrew and Alyssa following him close behind. When they arrived at the Pitch, Theodore released Aleyha and turned to face the group, he figured he should at least explain why they were here before Aleyha got pissy. "Before you yell." He glared at Aleyha. "I dragged you here so you could play Quidditch with us." Theodore gestured to the other to in the group as he continued to fiddle with his beater's bat. He wasn't exactly sure if Aleyha would play Beater like he hoped, but it wouldn't kill to see if she was willing. Actually he was still a bit ticked at her for hitting him over the head with wood, so he wanted to do as little amount of talking with her as he could manage.

"What positions do you guys want to play?" He already had the setup worked out in his mind, but he still wanted to see if they had any suggestions about what they wanted to play. He doubted that he was wrong, seeing as he thought he knew all of them well enough to know their positions, the only one that would change would seemingly be him.

 

[Alyssa Chevalier]

Alyssa boredly stood with her arms crossed as she listened to her brother speak to Aleyha then ask about positions they wanted to play. This was supposed to be a day where they hung out, and he brings his stupid girlfriend. "I'll play whatever." Actually the only positions she thought she would be able to keep up with was seeker and keeper, so she hoped she would get stuck with one of those two at least. Placing her hands on her hips she eyed Aleyha wearily, why her of all people he could have chosen, he had to choose the vicious one who seemed to eat girls like her alive.

"Are you sure you want to have your little crush play Quidditch with us?" Alyssa asked for a moment as she fiddled with her broom, she was going to embarrass her brother without any hesitation this time. Gripping the broom tightly she looked at Andrew to see what position he wanted to play.

 

[Andrew Bruke]

Andrew followed Theo, walking with Alyssa as he wondered who was the friend Theo was going to invite. He was however surprised to see him invite Aleyha. He wasn't aware of any 'crush' like feelings the way Alyssa mentioned between Theo and Aleyha. He was rather under the impression that Theo and Abigail Lurken were together. When this change had happened, he didn't know but it was cute to see them together. ''Aleyha, you must be special to be remembered'' he commented with a teasing grin.

As Theo asked what positions they would want to play , AB said ''Chaser'' He needed to practice Chaser because that was going to help Slytherin. He wondered what the others would want to play and whether anyone would need to adjust their positions so that a proper game would come into practice.He wouldn't mind anything else but Chaser would be more than happy.

 

[Aleyha Snow]

Aleyha rolled her red eyes and she threw Theodore a glare, "Whatever. I took my brother's broom because he won't be playing anytime soon with that gimpy arm of his." A sapphire streak, what their new step-mother bought for him, she borrowed it from Austin, and Aleyha shrugged once more. She put the broom down, and took her hair and tied it behind her. She picked the broom back up and she narrowed her eyes at Alyssa. Aleyha threatened with a smirk on her face, "Keep that up and we'll see who looks better for their man after this game is through." Aleyha added, "I'm kidding though." But there was a little gleam in her eyes that maybe she wasn't joking at all.

Aleyha turned her stare to Andrew, a fellow Parselmouth. At first, Aleyha hated him, but now, she couldn't really hold that against him. After all, they were both in common with that gift alone. "I would hope he couldn't forget me since I do beat him up half the time." Turning to Theodore, Aleyha frowned, "Can you drop the whole wood thing? I told you, I was aiming for Alexander." Aleyha then answered the position question, "Beater. Whatever you guys need actually." Aleyha shrugged, and she gripped the blue broom tightly.

 

[Theodore Snow]

Theodore rolled his eyes when she mentioned for him to forget the wood thing, it was easy for her to say really, because she wasn't the one who had to stay in the hospital wing with a splitting headache. But he didn't really have anything to say about it either, so it would be best if he dropped it. With a casual shrug of his shoulders he turned and was about assign positions when he heard Aleyha say something to his sister that made him pause and narrow his green eyes at both Aleyha and his sister. "What Man, Alyssa?" He voice was filled with coldness and curiosity, he didn't like the thought of his twin possibly getting together with anyone. As far he knew, Alyssa really hadn't had any contact with either of those boys that always seemed to be following after her like a lost puppy. Shaking his head, he dismissed the thought and gave Aleyha an odd look, she sounded almost proud of her ability to beat him up all the time.

"Okay, I'll play Chaser against Andrew, Aleyha Beater, and Alyssa keeper." Theodore wasn't a Pro at Chaser like Andrew was, but he would be able to hold out just fine. As for Alyssa, her position required much less movement than the other positions so he thought that this would be easiest for her, especially since the only other position really needed was seeker and that combined a lot of moving and speed. "And I suppose you can use this, just try not to kill anyone please." Theodore held out his beaters bat to Aleyha, almost wondering if it was a good idea to give her the bat or not seeing as she was just slightly beastly at times. He also handed her his Beater gloves, which he had no idea whether or not she would know how to put them on, they were a bit difficult to figure out. "Sound good to you guys?" He hoped they wouldn't object, that setup was about the only one he had at the moment seeing as Alyssa pretty much lacked any skill and he and Andrew need to put themselves out fairly.

 

[Alyssa Chevalier]

Alyssa was actually not that sure how to play the Keeper position really, except for the fact that you had to stop the ball thing from going into the hoops. From what she had seen, it didn't look that hard. With a soft sigh she pulled her hair into a half up-do and listened to her brother get angry about something that Aleyha said to her. "Chill Theodore, there is no man." She narrowed her eyes at Aleyha, as if to tell her to watch what she says around Theodore, he was the last person she wanted to discuss boy issues around. Deciding she didn't want to dwell on her lack of a love life due to her brother she playfully glared at Andrew; "Good luck getting your shots passed me Andrew." She knew this was a lie,and that she was probably going to regret saying that to him, but she couldn't but help and try to be competitive.

 

[Andrew Bruke]

Andrew watched as the positions were decided. He was cool with the flow and was ready to enjoy the game. He laughed as Theo inquired about who the 'man' who the girls were conversing about. "Thanks Alyssa"he said with a grin as he mounted his broom and added "You sure have a good sports spirit"

With a wink he kicked off hard and took of in the cool morning air. He waited for the others to join him so the Quaffel could be released. He was smiling because he wasn't wearing Slytherin robes that would flap around all the time, irritating one as they flew. However they were a great weapon when you wanted to hide the Quaffel and protect it from the opponent chaser.

 

[Aleyha Snow]

Aleyha took the bat from Theodore's hand, and she set it on the ground so she could struggle to put on the gloves. Jeez, these were hard to do. Once she got them on, she smirked at Theodore, "Relax, Pretty Boy, I won't kill anyone." She had the beater's bat in hand, and behind her head. Instead of hitting him for that comment, she held the bat in place so she wouldn't swing it. However, Aleyha tried something else. She leaned over and bit Theodore on his shoulder. "Let's just play nice now, shall we?" Aleyha glanced over at Alyssa, and gave her an evil smirk. Her lips may be sealed, for now. But she would bring him back up again if Alyssa mentioned her and Theodore.

Aleyha mounted her brother's broom, and she jumped in the air, balancing on the streak with one arm carrying the bat, and the other firmly on the handle. Aleyha had excellent balance, and she smirked down at the ground, as she joined Andrew in the sky. Her tight, black jeans were comfortable against her legs, and her Slytherin sweatshirt fit snuggly. "Let's begin the game already!" Aleyha wondered something, so she inquired anyone really, "So, am I supposed to be hitting the bludgers at you guys, or away from you guys?" It would be a lot funner if she could hit them at someone, but she had to remember, these people where her friends.

 

[Theodore Snow]

Theodore calmed down slightly when Alyssa said that there was no man involved, just to end up tensing back up again when Aleyha once again called him Pretty boy. He hated being called that, he wasn't pretty nor did he liked to hear his fiancée calling him so. It made him feel unmanly and like he was being laughed at and looked down upon by people. Just as he was about to retort to her he saw her lean over and bite him on the shoulders. "Hey!" He turned a light shade of red and was tempted to smack her with his broom. But the moment went to move he realized that he sort of liked it, okay not sort of...he really liked it, but thankfully Aleyha had moved away so she couldn't see his embarrassment. "Girls are nothing but a pain in the butt." He muttered to himself as he mounted his broom and kicked off the ground. He flew into the air until he was level with Andrew and threw Alyssa a look that told her to hurry up and get over to the hoops.

"Go ahead and aim them at us, you can stop them from hitting us too...if you feel like it." He said to Aleyha as he eyed the bat he lent her carefully, he just hoped she didn't hit as hard as he thought she would. "Any other question or are we ready to go?" Theodore asked as he glanced at everyone to see if they were ready or not, he didn't want any injuries so early in the game.

 

[Alyssa Chevalier]

Alyssa beamed at Andrew when he said that she good sports spirit. Being a Quidditch che cheerleader often got her pumped in games, so even if she knew it was hopeless she got pumped and felt as if she could even take on a Fully grown mountain troll. Which once again was an understatement because she knew the troll would kill her quite quickly. "Here we go..." Alyssa shakily mounted the broom and steadily rose up till she was near her brother. When he gave her a look that told her to go over by the hoops she grumbled and slowly flew over to them at the south end. When she was in front of them she gave the other three a thumbs up that told them that she was ready to play..and possibly make the biggest decision of her life.

 

[Andrew Bruke]

Andrew smiled as everyone got up in the air. He did catch the part where Aleyha reffered to Theo as Pretty boy. Maybe they are part-veelas after all, he thought stealing another glance at the twins. Hearing him mutter something, AB smiled. It was nice how they argued at times but still were close friends. "Yes, Aleyha you can hit them at us" he told her with a smile.

Looking at Alyssa as she positioned herself near the South Hoops, Andrew said "Ready". Making sure everyone was ready to play he grinned and with a wave of his wand he released the Quaffel and the Bludger from the trunk that lay on the ground. The bludger shot up in the air but not bothering on that, AB dived for the Quaffel like a rocket jetting through the air.

 

[Aleyha Snow]

"Great!" Aleyha smirked deviously, as she leaned forward on her broom, keeping it steady as she watched the others claim positions. Her hand gripped the bat tightly, and her hair blew a bit in the wind. Her scarlet red eyes locked on Theodore, admiring him from afar. A girl could look, couldn't she? Especially at who he was to her. Her soon to be husband. Aleyha nodded, indicating that she was ready, and soon, her favorite ball was released. The bludger shot up, and Aleyha's eyes were locked in it, like a snake on a mouse. Only this sort of mouse was a lot more deadly than a regular one. Like a bullet, Aleyha charged on the broom, holding steady with one harm and upon catching up to the bludger - and she was a good distance away from the others. Aleyha swung at the bludger, and with a loud crack, it soared toward the oldest Slytherin of the group with speed and force. Playing Beater ran in her blood, as her ancestor who was also a Parselmouth well dead once was.

 

[Theodore Snow]

Theodore had to admit that he wasn't very used to being a Chaser at all, in fact he was really fuzzy on the aspects of it. So he supposed he was going to have to rely on pure instincts that seemed like most chasers had in the first place. When both the bludger and Quaffle were released, Theo followed Andrew's immediate action and dove down towards the Quaffle as well. 'Dang he's fast!' Theodore was tempted to try and shove Andrew over a bit so he could get better access, he heard that familiar thunder like sound that meant someone had hit a bludger with his bat. "Head's up Bruke!" He sneered playfully as he moved his broom out of the way so he wouldn't risk getting hurt.

'What a beast.' Theodore thought as he slid his broom to a halt and looked at Aleyha, she would make a fair beater if she was able to smack that hard and that quickly in the game.

//Aleyha and Andrew can go ahead and post, I won't post as Alyssa till we get closer to the goals.//

 

[Andrew Bruke]

Andrew grinned as he soared towards the goals making sure the Quaffel was tightly tucked under his left arm. He kept a close eye on Theo's position tailing right behind him. Andrew had to agree, if any day his team needed replacements just before the game they would do well with the multi-talent most of the players possessed. The sun shone on Andrew's wrist watch reflecting the rays in his eyes making it impossible for him to see Alyssa's position.

He flew in a wide, sharp arc trying to locate Alyssa and out run the sun rays when he heard the sound of the air cutting behind him. He turned sharply, getting a firm grip on his he rose Northwards into the sky. Watching the bludger come towards him steadily, he waited and just as it was about to hit him, he did a flip and knocked out the Bludger into the far other end of the pitch. As it goes, every action has equal and opposite reaction, the impact of the Bludger on him was to loosen his left arm and the Quaffel slipped from right under him.

 

[Aleyha Snow]

Whoops... *whistles* short post to keep game going.

Aleyha hissed in her gifted tongue; she missed. She wasn't supposed to miss. Immediately, she used her brother's broom to tilt forward and race after the bludger. That little bugger wasn't going to get away from her. Aleyha was a little surprised when it turned and flew in another direction, and she chased after it. Aleyha smirked when it started to come at her, and this time, she aimed to hit at Alyssa. Letting the bat swing, it soared toward the little princess.
