Some Practise

[Zoe-Hope Weasley]

Zoe walked onto the quidditch pitch with her Scarlet Streak in hand. She had her goggles on, and her gloves. Putting her bag down, she mounted her broom, and did a quick fly around, to see if anyone was watching, she was a little rusty not having practised for a couple of weeks, and she missed their first game, so she really needed this practise time, without any spectators.

She went back to her bag, and pulled out a couple of tennis balls. She had always found it useful when Bruin threw them in random directions for her to get, but she had to do it alone, unless anyone came.

After throwing the first one, as hard as she could, she raced for it, just getting it before it hit one of the stands. She zoomed around a bit more, then repeated the tennis ball warm up.

 

[Crispin V. Cold]

Crispin stretched. The weather was great and he was ready for some play. His eyes narrowed until he could focus on who was up in the air. Then he grinned mischieviously.

When Zoe was up in the air and turned away from him, he grabbed a tennis ball and waited for her turn around. He whistled loudly, giving the ball a good toss with his pitchers arm.

 

[Zoe-Hope Weasley]

Zoe was just catching the last tennis ball, when she heard someone whistle, which startled her a bit. She turned around, just in time to see Crispin thrown one of the tennis balls she left on the ground, in a direction. She smiled, at him, and raced towards it, catching it with ease.

She flew down towards him, and landed. "Hey Crispin, want to join?" She asked, and began to juggle the two tennis balls she had in her hand.

 

[Crispin V. Cold]

Crispin hopped on his Firebolt and kicked off, zooming around til he reached Zoe. He grinned at her. "Love to, Zoe."

 

[Zoe-Hope Weasley]

"Great. Race ya!" She said, quickly whizzing off in one direction.

 

[Crispin V. Cold]

Crispin veered around, gripping the Firebolt's handle tightly with both hands. He leaned over the broom willing it to go faster. He laughed loudly when he passed Zoe for a couple inches. He knew it wouldn't be long before she out smoked him. There really was no competition between their brooms.

 

[Zoe-Hope Weasley]

(Are you sure it's our brooms? )

Zoe looked next to her, as Crispin was slowly passing her, Let's see how fast this thing really can go, She thought to herself, as she sped up, just a little, and was already in front of Crispin once again.

She made a couple of sharp turns, to throw him off, then went back on the course, which was mainly around the perimiter of the pitch.

 

[Crispin V. Cold]

Crispin huffed out a breath, leaning on his broom sharply. He zigzagged around and under Zoe but couldn't quite catch up. "Zoe, wait up!" He laughingly called out. He chased her around the pitch, laughing.

(We'll see. )

 

[Zoe-Hope Weasley]

Zoe laughed, as she looked back, and Crispin was falling behind. She stopped mid-air, turned around, and yelled "U-Turn!!!" Hoping he would catch on to her tricks, in an attempt to confuse him. She quickly sped up, swooshing right past him, unsure of where she was flying to.

 

[Crispin V. Cold]

Crispin yelled and veered out of the way. They'd almost collided when she'd pulled that U-turn and he was turning at the same time. He laughed into the wind and chased after her, pulling up beside her and throwing her an evil grin. Then he ducked down into a spin dive before pulling up madly, the force of the move jetting him high up into the air toward her.

 

[Zoe-Hope Weasley]

Zoe kept on racing, but then all of a sudden halted midair. She remained hovering in her spot, to make Crispin think he's won the race. All of a sudden, she pulled out one of the tennis balls from her pocket, and threw it as hard as she could, while trying to maintain balance, in Crispins direction, hoping he would catch on.

 

[Crispin V. Cold]

Crispin accelerated and caught the ball in one hand, clutching it to his side. He raced down the pitch and threw it through the hoop, zooming around to the other side to catch it. Then he raced toward Zoe and threw it towards her.

 

[Zoe-Hope Weasley]

Zoe easily caught the tennis ball, but was getting a little tired. She flew down to her bag and drank some water from her water bottle. "Not too bad," She said loudly to Crispin.

 

[Crispin V. Cold]

Crispin landed on the ground minutes after Zoe and grinned at her. "You're not too bad yourself." He grinned at her and dismounted from his broom. His stomach rumbled loudly. "Think they're serving dinner?"

 

[Zoe-Hope Weasley]

Zoe giggled, as she heard Crispins stomach growl. She looked around, and noticed it was almost dark out, and said, "Yeah, I'm a little hungry too." She said, "Wanna see if the Great Hall is ready for dinner?" She asked, putting her tennis balls in her bag, and putting it on her back.

 

[Crispin V. Cold]

"Yeah." Crispin slung his Firebolt over his shoulder and grinned. His stomach grew louder. He groaned. "Quickly though!" He laughed and headed up to the castle.

 

[Zoe-Hope Weasley]

Zoe laughed, and went to the castle, with her broom in her hand. She wondered if anyone else would be in there.
