Ilvermorny,Practice
Isaak Baros pulled out fliers, and went them all out for others to come and watch the team practice, as well as to all of the members of the team to come along and practice. After waiting for everyone to arrive, Isaak smiled, "This is our second practice! We shouldn't let what happened at Beauxbatons discourage us! Okay, so Everett, take the north hoops, chasers will try to score and practice passing. Beaters, practice hitting others as well as protect, whatever you wish! And seekers, you know what we need to do. I know it is a little bit windy, and some flurries are coming down, but we need to practice in all weather!" So, it was more than just flurries, since snow was starting to lay on the ground. Isaak shrugged, before tapping the box with his wand, and the bludgers and the snitch flew out. Then, he lifted the quaffle and hurled it into the air, to signal for them all to play.
 
AJ had been pretty put out that he'd had to miss the last game, thinking that his Quidditch season was already well and truly over. But there was always next year, and he was excited despite the poor weather when Isaak called another practice for them. AJ had made sure to layer up, gripping his broom before kicking off. The layers did restrict his movement a little, but he hoped it'd help keep out the chill as well as maybe lessen a bludger hit as he started scanning the pitch for some, making sure to hold onto his bat tightly.
 
Dominic was still sad about their loss to the Beauxbaton's team but he tried not to let it get him down. After all they had only become a team this year and they still had a lot to learn. What he could have done without was practicing in this weather. He grew up in the desert and even after nearly five years, he still couldn't handle the cold. "Roger that!" he called out to Isaak, and tried to hide his chattering teeth, before kicking off and getting ready to practice.
 
Hope was ready for the practice she felt sad of losing the game against Beauxbatons, but she was hopefull they would win the next time. She needed to prove she was a good seeker. The brown haired girl smiled as she joined the team and listened to Isaak. It was clear what she had to do, but the weather was not the best conditions, but it didn't let her down. Hope kicked of the ground and started her search for the snitch.
 
Eli was glad they didn't really have to wait long for the practice to start. He wasn't in the mood for chitchat about their loss to the girl's team of Beauxbatons. He took to the air and followed a bludger, though he failed to hit it.

Isaak had barely finished his speech before Adam was taking to the air, trailing his way towards the hoops. Unlike his teammates, he knew what he had to do, and didn't need an explanation on how to play his role. If it had been solely him against the entirety of the Beauxbatons team, the results would have been exactly the same, which said a lot about the work his teammates put in.​
 
Isaak took off to the skies, and took the quaffle from the air. The former Gryffindor swerved around and headed to the north hoops.
 
Practicing in the snow? Isaak was out of his mind! Cayleigh layered up, and grabbed her bat before taking off. Luckily, her bat had some grippers on it so she wouldn’t have buttery fingers.
 
The little snow flurries were making visibility quite poor, and even when AJ did manage to catch up to one of the bludgers, his hit was pretty poor, skating across the round surface of the ball and barely managing to alter its course. AJ muttered to himself, tightening his grip on his bat as he continued to tail the bludger.
 
Hope flew along and tried to spot the golden snitch. She tried to see if Noah followed her. But wanted to be focused on getting it first.
 
Eli snorted at AJ's pathetic attempt to hit a bludger. He flew after him, attempting to catch up with him so he could show him how to hit a bludger properly.
 
Not the biggest fan of snow, Noah mounted his broomstick reluctantly after the captain told everyone what to do. There was no doubt that Hope and he would have a difficult time finding the snitch in this weather. He followed the other seeker the moment he was in the air as well, wanting to stick with her for a little just in case she'd see it first.
 
Adam yawned, and hovered between his hoops.
 
Einar got on his broom as the others did and flew up into the air, the captain caught the ball,so Einar just followed along behind him, trying to be there to be helpful to him.
 
AJ was gaining on the bludger, but some snow was starting to build up on his goggled, making the visibility even worse. Eventually AJ had to stop, pausing to paw at his face to clear his vision, sighing when the bludger shot off across the pitch while he fussed with his gear. Snow was the worst.
 
Isaak threw the quaffle once he got close enough, but the slush in his hand caused the ball to slip, veering a bit to the left. Isaak sighed and swerved around.
 
Cayleigh flew off after a bludger, but it was faster. She turned around and flew around her teammates, to try to protect them if she could.
 
"Good try!" Dominic shouted as Isaak tossed the quaffle and missed. He grabbed the ball when Adam tossed it back into play. As he made a lap around the pitch he looked out for Einar or Isaak to pass it to.

Still struggling to manage keeping up with the bludgers with the snow coming down, AJ decided to let them come to him instead, pulling up by the seekers. In the lower visibility they probably needed all the protection they could get. "Alright, guys?" He said cheerily, squinting around the pitch for any sign of malicious bludger activity.
 
It was difficult for Adam to keep the smugness from his face any time the captain failed his shot. He opened his mouth to comment, though Dominic said exactly what he'd wanted to say, albeit with a hundred percent less sarcasm. He tossed the quaffle at Dominic and relaxed his shoulders to watch his lap back around.
 
He noticed something coming their way and swirled around, thinking it was a bludger at first. The lower visibility definitely made it harder to make out what certain things were. Upon hearing the voice, however, the boy relaxed.
"Yeah. These flurries are definitely annoying though," Noah said when AJ joined them.
 
The snow was very frustrating, and Eli wondered if Isaak really couldn't have found a better time to practice. Isaak failed to score, and Eli snorted. He flew after a bludger, a little frustrated by the cheerful chatting a few of the other members seemed to tihnk was appropriate right now. He attempted to hit a bludger their way, but missed. Eli blamed the snow.
 
AJ felt for the poor seekers. If he was struggling to see the darker, larger bludgers in this weather, he couldn't imagine it was easy to spot the snitch like this. "Yeah, I keep worrying a bludger's going to come out of no where in this-" AJ said with a laugh before squawking as Eli sent one their way. He swung his bat a little uselessly at it, glad the bludger had swerved away from them without his intervention. "Oops, sorry, sorry. Paying attention now,"
 
Adam rubbed his hands together, having opted for fashionable over practical in his choice of Winter attire. He had to look good, even in the snow, and especially around his less appealing teammates, who only served to enhance his aesthetic. Sitting still wasn't helping to keep him too warm either, though before he could grow too cold and bored, he watched as Eli hit a bludger in the general direction that some others had chosen to chat around. He let out a mean laugh. It served them right. This was exactly why Beauxbatons had beaten them.​
 
Dominic couldn't really make out much considering the weather and decided to try and make the goal himself. He came at the hoops and threw the quaffle with some pretty impressive force. But Adam was able to block his shot. "Good catch!" he said, trying not to feel disappointed.
