(Q:P)Ravenclaw Practice/Recruitment

[Helia Ollivander]

Halo walked out onto the quidditch pitch, her revamped broom in tow. It was thin and flat, but sturdy. She had bent all the tail twigs so that the broom could move quickly side to side, up and down, though it was a bit slow trying to go forward.
She had reserved this Pitch time for practice, but she'd also hoped this could be a recruitment time as well. Somehow all the Ravenclaw players had fallen off the face of the earth, and she needed a team. She had put up flyers in the common room saying that the Ravenclaw team needed at least two more Chasers, one Beater, and a Seeker. 'Come on Ravenclaw, don't let me down...' she pleaded with her house. 'Come on, just show up...

Erika walked towards the Quidditch pitch hoping to try out her new Firebolt. When she arrived she saw that her friend Helia, who was also the captain of the Ravenclaw quidditch team was there also. "Hey Helia. You holding try outs for the quidditch team?" she asked hoping that the answer would be "Yes." she wanted to try out for Seeker.

[Helia Ollivander]

"Indeed I am." she said happily, glad that she'd have at least one more player if all went well. "What position you lookin' to try out for?" she asked wondering if she'd need to get up in the air to help or not.

[mistressofdarkness]

Erika smiled. "Seeker." she replied

[Helia Ollivander]

"Brilliant!" she said happily. She walked over to her box of game balls and opened it up, "Whenever you're ready I'll release the snitch and we'll see what you've got. Sound good?" she asked, beaming at the thoguht of having a Seeker again.

<I suppose I'll mod the snitch for now, that cool with you?>

[mistressofdarkness]

(that's cool)


Erika climbed onto her Firebolt and kicked off. When she was about fifty feet up, she turned to face Helia. "Ready!" she called.

[Helia Ollivander]

Helia let go the snitch which immedeatly took off towards the opposite end of the field, hovering a moment between the left and middle goal hoops before taking off towards the gold and black Hufflepuff stands

[mistressofdarkness]

Erika zoomed towards the Hufflepuff stands, stood up on her broom, leaned forward and caught the snitch with the tips of her fingers.

[Helia Ollivander]

The snitch hovered within her grasp for a moment, then darted out, spun hard to the left, then dipped and waited, winding around the base of the right goal hoop.

"Nice one!" Halo called up, "Probably should have told you, the snitch is enchanted. You have to find it five times before it will let you catch it!" she shrugged, "Oops."

[mistressofdarkness]

"Okay!" called Erika as she flew towards the bottom of the goal post. Before she could reach it however, the snitch flew away and she had to chase after it.

[Helia Ollivander]

It leapt over head, then flew towards the edge of the pitch, folowing alongside the wall.

"Nice, Keep going Erika!" she said happily. 'I'm getting a seeker, she thought with glee

[mistressofdarkness]

Erika flew along the edge of the wall, her hand stretched out, but unfortunately the snitch eluded her once more. She groaned in frustration as she had to chase it down, again.

[Helia Ollivander]

Going high again it swung aorund the golden hoops and darted back across the pitch, zig-zagging, darting up and down in every which direction.

'Twice more, twice more' she thoguht exceitedly.

[mistressofdarkness]

Erika flew after the snitch as it zigzagged across the pitch. Only two more times! she thought excitedly.

Kam leaned against his Silver Arrow with a bored look in his eyes. Seekers, he felt, always stole the attention of Quidditch matches and he couldn't imagine himself being one.

He waited quietly, watching the girl's flying ability- which he grudgingly admitted was excellent for a seeker.
