Finally, this would be the practice the Hufflepuffs have been waiting for. After a few attempts for try-outs, the last one being the most successful, Amanda was sure that her team was complete and ready for a good old game of Quidditch. But of course, not after some practicing with the teammates. Afterall, they weren't exactly perfect, just yet at least.
She had posted the final roster the previous night in the Hufflepuff common room, hoping that the newest teammates would recognize their names. Also there was a note at the bottom that told them when their first practice would begin and that there was still two positions open for alternates. Amanda hoped that some of their housemates would be willing to try for those positions in the near future.
It was early that Wednesday morning when Amanda woke up and got ready. Must have been around five am. She was going to start their practice bright and early, just so that they can get used to morning and evening practices. Also, the pitch was available at that time. After tieing up her blonde locks into a tight bun, she left her dorm with several notes to inform her teammates.
Only a couple letters slipped into Josie and Jodi's dorm, while the rest went into Rob, Holden, Tim, and Mark's. It would sort of be a rude awakening actually, being the mischievious character that she is, but they'd eventually forgive her for her antics. Let's just say that those letters contained an itty bitty wittle song with a soprano voice singing the lyrics. They go something like this:Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not plannin' on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Wake me dancing tonight
I wanna hit that high (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, Amanda was creative like that, and the letter would continuously repeat itself until the members have awoken and possible ripped up the letter after reading it. After slipping the letters into their dorms, she went to her own to retrieve her broom and key, and left quietly out of the common room. The halls were dark and very still. No one was really awake, students mainly, but the smell of coffee lingered all through the corridors.
Obviously the professors were awake, checking around, and having some early breakfast. She passed a couple, smiling and bidding them good morning, and left the castle. Heading to the pitch, she stopped by the shed, taking out her own key, which only the captains of each were given to open the lock, and entered to retrieve the chest full of the quidditch balls.
"Pfft. I shouldn't be doing this work." She rolled her eyes, taking her wand out from the back of her black sweatpants and casting a levitating spell on the chest. Smiling to herself, she and the chest, along with her broom, went to the middle of the pitch where she carefully laid the chest to rest on the ground. Then mounting her broom, she does a lap on her own and stops mid-air and waits for her teammates to show up.
