Closed Beaters Gonna Beat, Seekers Gonna Seek

[Lilith Ilves]

Lilith had been glad to see Rosé make the Ravenclaw team, she wanted her to do well and have fun. Ever since she'd seen the girl in the bathroom at Madam Puddifoot's the fourth year had felt sort of protective of the girl and she wanted to help her in any way she could. So with that thought in mind Lili thought it'd be fun to ask a few of her friends, who also played quidditch for their respective houses, to get together for a small practice game so to say. It was a good day for such a thing too, the sun was shining and there was a wind blowing in a less violent manner than it had been a few weeks before. It really was the optimal day, doing this in pouring rain with wind taking additional swings at you would have been quite the displeasure.

As Felix, Susie and Rosé all stood in front of Lilith at the pitch the seeker gave them a smile before beginning to speak. "Okay so like I said a little practice game could be fun, it'll be me and Rosé against Susie and Felix, that sound good to you?" She asked the group, hoping they'd all be alright with the set up. Really she wanted this to be a fun session of practice after all, it'd be good for both the beaters and the seekers to get some extra practice in. "Rosé you'll get to smack bludgers at Felix and Susie you get to smack them at me. Me and you," gesturing to herself and then to the Gryffindor seeker, a big, maybe even a bit challenging, grin formed on her face. "We get to fight over the snitch." Lili finished with a small shake of her head. She hadn't ever thought herself to be the competitive type but Quidditch seemed to be bringing a new side out of her. "Any questions, comments or complaints before we take off?" Lili asked before mounting her broom and hovering waiting for anyone that wanted to speak their mind.

[Rose Glass]

After Rose had practically run down to the pitch to keep up with Lilith's strides, she was now stood on the grass, listening to her teammate explain the rules of their game. It was nice, to get the chance to practise her aim more, and strengthen her muscles for the games. She was a little nervous however that she'd accidentally hit either Lilith or Susie though; both girls were so sweet, she'd feel terrible if she did either of them harm. Felix was another story though. She didn't know who he was, not really, and besides he was a seeker on the opposite team, so it was essentially her job to beat him up.

The second year swallowed nervously, but put her bravest face on as she mounted her broom. "No complaints here," she told the older girl, kicking off into the skies.

 

[Felix Layton]

Felix didn't really like the way the younger Ravenclaw looked at him with a gleam in her eye. Just because he was her target didn't mean she needed to be so happy about it. He distracted himself by turning to Lili and Soos, his friends and yet his opponents when it came to this sport. "You might as well accept defeat now Lilith," she might have had a year on his training, but he was the faster flier. He was sure of it. "Besides, Soo's here is a professional. Pretty sure I'm going to be lasting the longest," he taunted. Rose may have been someone Lili liked, but she was far from as capable as the Hufflepuff.

 

[Susie Lagowski]

"Sweet," said Susie, idly swinging her bat. Permission to whack bludgers at Lili? This was going to be fun. She smiled fondly at the younger Claw - a friend of Freddie's, or possibly his crush; Susie couldn't tell. She was surprised her brother hadn't turned up to watch. Maybe he was busy hanging out with Luke - or maybe he just didn't want to be seen hanging out with his big sister any more. They were both growing up too fast.

"Yeah. Me and Felix are pros. We'll show you how it's done. But don't worry, Lili - I won't hit 'em at you too hard." Grinning, Susie nudged Felix on the arm and took off.​

 

[Lilith Ilves]

Lilith rolled her eyes at her friends massive egos. Seriously if they got any bigger they'd all run out of room to breathe on this pitch and that was saying a lot. "Whatever you say!" She called out to them before taking off with the snitch in her pocket. Flying towards Rosé Lilith gave the younger beater a smile, "You did amazing at practice. Just pretend this is practice and don't go easy on Felix, he could use a whack or two from a bludger these days." She spoke to the girl with a small grin. In her books whatever had happened between her and the Gryffindor was in the past and she didn't want to let it ruin their friendship. "Alright Releasing the snitch, you guys ready?" She called out mostly to Felix before letting the snitch go and waiting for it to dart and disappear.

 

[Rose Glass]

Rose nodded at Lilith, glad that the older girl thought she'd done well in practice and trusting her when she said she didn't need to go easy. The second year was ready to wipe the smirk off the boys face in truth. "Gryffindors," she mused. She could say that, her siblings were lions themselves. They thought the world revolved around them. Rose was also a little nervous to hit a bludger towards Freddie's sister, although she trusted the Susie was good enough to protect herself, too. "Ready."

 

[Felix Layton]

Soos may not want to hit Lilith too hard, but Felix wouldn't have minded if it meant he could actually catch something for a change. He didn't like to admit he was a little nervous the Ravenclaws were going to show him up. Felix watched as Lilith released the snitch, his eyes on the golden ball, and immediately shot through the air not waiting for Lilith to give him the go ahead.

 

[Susie Lagowski]

Susie hovered above the pitch, waiting for her friends to get into their positions. Maybe she should have roped Sofi into joining. This felt an awful lot like giving Ravenclaw and Gryffindor free seeker practice. Sure, they were her friends, but up in the sky, they were also her rivals. Susie gripped her broom and scanned the area for bludgers.​

 

[Lilith Ilves]

Lilith saw Felix dart after the snitch right away and shook her head slightly as she followed right after. She wasn't going to let the Gryffindor get a free catch after all. Trying to catch up with him and furthermore the snitch was probably harder than she'd thought. He was quite a fast flyer but then again so was she. Lilith felt confident in Rosé's ability to keep the bludgers away from her mostly so for now she just focused on the hunt for the snitch, knowing full well last year the Gryffindors had snatched it from right under her nose. Literally.

 

[Rose Glass]

Rose wasted no time setting off in her search for a bludger. She would think about who she was going to smack it at once she found one. The only person she really had to keep an eye on, was Lilith. She wasn't about to watch her own Seeker get taken out first.

 

[Felix Layton]

Felix was trying to subtly circle Susie, not wanting to move too far away from his loyal protector. Lilith was quickly on his tail but hopefully he would be more successful during this practice that he was when he was with the rest of the Gryffindors.
