Gaby was both thrilled and nervous about the fact that she had been named captain of the team, making sure she arrived at the pitch early for the team's first practice of the year. Tryouts had been good and she had to admit she was a little relieved that they didn't have a lot of open spots, which meant she didn't really have to make any hard decisions when they were over. The main spot to fill had been Édelie's and even though she knew she would miss having her friend around and miss their teamwork she was excited to see how their new chaser would do. She had made sure to get everything ready for practice and leaned on her broom a little as she waited for the rest of the team to arrive. "Alright, team!" Gaby smiled at them once they had all arrived. "Welcome to our first practice of the year. We've got our game against Ilvermorny coming up and after last year I'm sure we're all keen to show them what we're made off!" She continued, hoping the rest of the team was as determined as she was. "Since we only have one keeper, Aramis pick whichever set of hoops you want to defend and do your thing. The rest of you, I'm going to divide you into small teams. Hugo, Élise, Ava and Ares you'll be on one team. Amelie, Gemma and Florence will be on the other team. I'll be kind of in the middle, so Ares and Flo let's just say I'm on both your teams." Gaby explained, nodding at her chasers and looking at the team to make sure everyone understood their assignment. "All clear? Let's go!" She grinned before releasing the quidditch balls and throwing the quaffle up into the air.



No arrivals, let's get straight into it!
 
Ava was excited to have made the team as an alternate. She had thought to write her grandma about it but decided to keep the news for when she got home during the break, keen to see the woman's real time reaction. She listened to their captain talk, trying her best to imagine who was on her team before pushing off into the air when the balls were released and chasing down a bludger. She hit it towards the other team's seeker with all her might and watched with some surprise as it actually sailed right towards the girl @Amelie Derouin.
 
Gemma was excited for the new quidditch season and was optimistic about their chances of beating the American team this year. She arrived to practice and greeted everyone with a bright smile and Gabby gave them instructions. She shot Hugo a sympathetic look when they were put on separate teams and hoped her friend wouldn’t take any hits personally. Gemma took to the air with ease and spotted a bludger right away. She had aimed for Hugo but it went wide and hit one of the new players instead. She offered a brief but apologetic shrug. @Florence Bellerose
 
Amelie tried to stand proud among the others, glad that her little... misadventure with Gabi hadn't hurt her chances of being on the team. She took to the air with the others, yelping as she was immediately hit by a bludger. She held still a moment, clutching at her ribs and sucking in a breath. Ow, she winced.
 
Ava felt a little bad for hitting the other girl right away, but at the same time she was a little proud of managing that as well. She went on to chase another bludger and gave it a whack, watching as it didn’t exactly fly to where she had aimed but headed for @Gemma Thorne instead.
 
Amelie took a moment to catch her breath before beginning her search.
 
Hugo was surprised with how the practice started, two bludger hits in a row. He was just glad it wasn't him.
 
Gemma sucked in a breath as a bludger made contact with her shoulder. She whipped around and saw it was one of the new members of the team. She smiled tightly at the younger girl. At least they were off to a good start. She hovered near Amelie to keep an eye on things but she didn't see any bludgers coming her way.

Amelie - 1
Florence - 1
Gemma - 1

Beaters off to a strong start I see lol
 
Amelie smiled at Gemma nearby and continued her search, ignoring the throbbing in her ribs.
 
Gemma swung her bat casually in her hand as she kept watch for any bludgers.
 
Aramis was keen to be back out on the pitch. While he didn't really care about winning or losing games, it just felt nice to take a break from school and be on a broom for a bit. He leaned easily against Hugo and Gemma as Gaby addressed the team, happy to see her settling in well as captain before giving her a quick salute and flying off to guard the North hoops. He circled slowly, watching as practice got off to a fairly bloody start as the bludgers started flying.
 
Gemma spotted a bludger coming her way and raced to meet it. She hit the ball with a loud crack and tried to aim it at someone on the other 'team' but it went wide and hit nothing and no one.
 
Amelie hummed softly, trying to distract herself from the pain as she searched for the snitch.
 
Trying to keep the other chasers on their toes Gaby grabbed the quaffle herself, tucking it under her arm before heading towards the hoops Aramis was guarding.
 
After already hitting two people Ava looked around for another bludger to chase.
 
Élise loved to play Quidditch and was glad she was part of the team. She arrived at the pitch and smiled at her captain. Then she mounted her broom and then she was off. She spotted a bludger and with a good wack she spotted it went wide.
 
Amelie continued her search, humming softly and smiling at the others as she flew by.
 
With the quaffle secured under her arm Gaby flew straight for the hoops, tossing it towards the left one and grinning when it sailed through.
 
Ares was keen for another year of quidditch. He made his way to the pitch for practice and didn't hesitate to get on his broom as the captain started. It didn't take long for bludgers to go flying, and Ares tried his best to stay away from them. He clapped when the captain scored, before going in to collect the quaffle as it was thrown back out and heading for the other hoops.
 
Gaby shot Ares a smile when he clapped for her, glad to see him take the quaffle as she took a second to see how the rest of the team was doing with all those bludgers flying around.
 
Ava continued to hunt for another bludger to hit, smacking it with her bat when she got close enough. It veered off course a little and she grimaced when it sailed towards @Aramis Faroe rather than who she had aimed for.

Amelie - 1
Florence - 1
Gemma - 1
Aramis - 1
 
Aramis saw Gaby coming towards the hoops but wasn't fast enough to block her shot, giving her a friendly shrug, he scooped up the quaffle, throwing it back out. He clearly needed to pay more attention, especially when he also wasn't faster enough to avoid the bludger their new beater sent his way too, grimacing as his broom spun from the impact. "You've got competition, Gemma," he called, voice slightly strained from the impact.
 
Hugo flew around, staying out of Amelie's way for the most part.
 
Aramis circled the hoops slowly, trying to work out the ache from the bludger hit as he kept an eye on the chasers.
