Got to love quidditch [Emma]

[absentminded]

Alyssa had a super busy afternoon but somehow she had managed to find some time to go to the quidditch pitch. Quidditch was basically her life, so it was no wonder that she'd do anything to have some spare time to sit on a broom. Walking down towards the pitch, dressed in some dark gray jeans and a white t-shirt with her cloak on top of that she hoped that there weren't school teams practicing there so that she couldn't fly. That would basically be the lamest thing ever.

After a small d-tour to get a broom out of the broom closet she continued to head towards the pitch. She examined the broom while walking. It wasn't exactly a broom as good as the one she flew on at home, but it would do. Arriving at the pitch she was relieved to see it was totally deserted. She got on her broom and counted to three; 1.. 2... 3....

"Hey, wait up!" Emma's call rang out over the field as she jogged over to the Slytherin, broom in hand. Being a Muggle, she had just learned of the wizarding sport this year and found it extremely interesting. She had gotten a broom while shopping for school supplies in Trio's Alley. It wasn't the latest model, but it still was sturdy and served its purpose.

She had recently tried out for the Hufflepuff Quidditch team and had done remarkably well, considering that it was only her 3rd or 4th time on a broom.

Flying had recently become a favorite past time of hers, always heading out to the field to fly whenever she had a spare moment. She had usually been alone, but this time, she saw another 1st year with a broom on the Quidditch Pitch. Running to catch up, she noticed that it was Alyssa, a girl that she had seen in most of her classes. Emma, Alyssa, and Elle had also had some time to talk together in the Quality Quarters.

Emma's smile broadened, she was glad that she had seen Alyssa out here. Alyssa appeared to be a fun, energetic girl and Emma couldn't wait to get to know her better.

"Hey," she breathed, catching her breath as she finally caught up to Alyssa.

As Alyssa was about to soar into the air she suddenly heard a slightly familiar voice. Without stepping off of her broom she looked around to see that Emma was speeding up towards her. A smile curled on her lips, flying together was more fun than flying alone. She didn't exactly know this Emma person well, but she seemed to be friendly so what harm could it do to get to know her a little better right?

She didn't feel like screaming so she waited until Emma was a bit closer to her before she said a friendly "Hi!" With a glance upon Emma's broom, another one out of the broom closet she continued. "About to fly as well?" But of course the girl was, there wasn't much point in asking. Why else would she be holding a broom?

Then it was time to take off. She pushed her feet hard against the ground and within seconds she was hovering in the air. Speeding up a little bit she started to fly in circles around Emma. "What are you waiting for?" She asked, as she turned around and flying circles in the other directions so she wouldn't get dizzy and drop of her broomstick.

[emmawinters]

Emma laughed and hopped onto her broom. She kicked off of the ground and soared straight up into the air, gaining speed and altitude. After a few seconds, she stopped and glanced down again. The height always amazed her from up here, her breath caught slightly, heart beating rapidly.

Remembering Alyssa below, she suddenly spun into a nose dived, headed straight for the ground. This was what she loved about flying. The risks, the adventure, the air whooshing past her, blowing her hair in every direction available.

Slowing her broom down, she began to slowly circle, weaving in and out. She pulled up slightly. "Alyssa!!!" she called over the wind. "Wanna race?"

[absentminded]

She watched from above as Emma mounted her broom as well. The girl was a pretty good flyer so Alyssa wondered whether she had done it before. That was the funny thing about quidditch. It could be that you've been practicing your whole life but still suck [this didn't count for Alyssa, she was a pretty fair flyer.] while others who've got good flying genes got the hang of it immediately.

Alyssa smirked. So the girl wanted to race, uh? Always ready for a little bit of friendly competition. "Sure why not?" She called to Emma. Getting out her wand of her back pocket and holding it at the ready, she prayed for good luck, before murmuring some words. Two stripes of colored light appeared in the air. A green and a red one. Alyssa was only a few inches from the green one away, while the red one was at the other side of the pitch.

"This green line here's the start line, ok? Ready?" Alyssa waited for Emma to come up to her so they could start at the same place.

[emmawinters]

Emma veered over to the green line and stopped. She alined herself perfectly with Alyssa, that way neither of them could accuse the other of cheating.

"On your mark, get set...GREEN BEANS!!" Emma laughed as Alyssa flinched to move forward. "Sorry, had to do that. It's an old family joke, I'll be serious this time."

She adjusted her weight slightly on the broom so that she was in a better position. "On your mark! Get set! GO!" she screamed, and both girls shot out over the green line.
