Beauxbatons,PracticeThe end of the school year was fast approaching, and Grace could hardly believe this was going to be the last practice of the year. Soon, they would be in New Zealand once again, facing the best team they had this year. Grace was a little bit worried about the match, as she had no idea if their team was ready. She hoped Liesl would capture the snitch, but not before their chasers were able to show what they could do. She couldn't help but feel like this practice was what mattered, like it all depended on this. She knew logically that wasn't true, but she still felt nervous. Their loss last year still hurt, and this match would be her very last act as captain of this team. It would perhaps be the last time she ever played a quidditch match. If she focused on that thought too much she would crumble, so she pushed it away.
She waited at the field with her broom in hand for everyone to arrive. When her team arrived, she swallowed back her emotions as she started to speak. "Guys, this is it." She said, a sad smile on her face. "This is the last practice we will have before the match against Hogwarts, and the last one I will be holding as your captain." Graduation was looming, and Grace dreaded it. "After this, I know we will show the best of ourselves in the match against Hogwarts, but I'm already proud of what we achieved. This team is incredible, and whether we win or not, I want you all to know that." She cleared her throat, getting choked up and feeling annoyed with herself for it. "Alright, let's get started." She said with a nod to Jessica. She gave the other girl some room to say something as well, before practice began.
Grace took to the air after releasing the balls for practice. She once again told both keepers to take the hoops on the other end of the pitch, and grabbed the quaffle for the first scoring attempt. She headed to the hoops were Dominik was waiting, glancing around her for any of the other chasers to pass the quaffle to them.

Out of Character:
- Since this is the final practice and I want to make the most of our time, I've skipped arrivals. Please RP arriving/reacting to the speech and the start of training within your first post. Abby and I will use activity in this practice (and the ones before it) to decide on the final lineup for the match on November 30. This practice will be open until November 26, so only a few days before the match. Let's make the most of it.
