Hogwarts; Outside A Good Day for a Fly

The weather is crisp, sunny and with a wonderful wind that tempts flyers to enjoy it. Quidditch season will be starting soon and that means practices, try outs and all the business of making sure that the proper House team wins.

In Will's case that means he's working to pull together a new team and getting them ready as soon as possible. The two Theos have definite possibilities but he wants to put them to the best use possible.

Today he hasn't reserved the field but he's honestly considering it because it seems like you can't fly in Hogwarts without half the school coming to watch or show off.

He'll be in the air, around the stands and trying to make sense of all the flyers, because if other Houses' teams are going to be practicing around him, its not their fault if he learns things.

(OOC: For tagging with Will or all your general flying needs.)

"Maybe we can discuss it more tonight in the common room," Kate says noting the Ravenclaw who's flown closer to them.
will_scarlett: (not all he seems)

Will smirks and waves to the Ravenclaw, her confidence is nice but he's still the captain and three years older,

"Better if you show up to try outs and do some more flying today. I might join you."

"Fair enough," Kate says smirking as she leans back into a free fall which she turns into a dive and an arc past some Hufflepuff's who yell at her to watch where she is going.

As she flies by again, Will tosses a Quaffle her way since she seems like she wants to show off.

She almost misses it but notices it at the last minute and so catches it smoothly enough with the hand opposite Will. Then she barrel roles and flings it back at him adding a little English as they say in America.

He grins as he catches it and gets his broom since he's been sitting on the sidelines too long. In a few quick moments he's beside her and tossing the Quaffle her way again.

She can catch this one easy but decides to fumble it since they have an audience. And gee, did it just go into the face of that Slytherin that was flying too close? Kate dives beneath the Slytherin to scoop up the quaffle and send it overhand back to Will.

"Sorry dude," she says to the Slytherin who's still a little pale. She has to admit that was fun, maybe a Chaser could be the way to go.
will_scarlett: (Explain yourself)

Will checks on the Slytherin before flying to catch up with her, "Considering going out for Beater, Kane?"

"To be honest," Kate replies before ducking a random bludger, "I never really played. I mean there's schools I went to with teams but the only one I was officially on was at Salem and that was a joke. I mean, who calls a foul for a broken nail?"
will_scarlett: (I see you)

[personal profile] will_scarlett 2011-10-10 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"No one who would last at Hogwarts,"

As the bludger goes by, Will calls out to the person dealing with it,

"Keep a close watch on those, we don't want too many injuries!"

"At least not before the season starts right?" Kate calls as she speeds away. She heads to the rings as she hasn't really given the broom a good workout and would like to know how well it flies. Really that's all it is.
will_scarlett: (bit of a grin)

"It all depends on how they happen,"

Will follows her and tosses the Quaffle back to see how she does with flying and passing.

She reacts quickly but not as gracefully as she'd like. Her right hand fumbles the ball (not on purpose this time) and so she holds onto the broom with her legs to save it with her left. Flying forward for a beat or two, she makes sure of her grip before passing it back. Her face is also more serious now as she realized this will be more work than she first assumed.

"You have to be able to do both, get used to not relying on your hands too much for flying,"

Will shows her as he grabs the Quaffle with one hand and flies a loop around her.

A flash of anger lights her eyes but is gone quickly enough it could very well have never been. She nods with a grim expression.

"Did I mention I've only flown with a useless team before?" She says this with decent enough humor and a good volume just in case another team wanted to believe it and run with it.

"Then you'll just have to practice more."
