Andie hummed quitely to herself as she headed down to the lake. Reaching the lake she conjured up tumbling mats and directed them towards the ground, on the other side of the mats she conjured up a balance beam and the uneven paralell bars. Stripping off her robes to reveal a turqouise blue leotard, she pulled her red unruly curls into a ponytail, took a deep breath and started working on her routine for gymnastics. She backflipped, landed on her feet and did a roundoff, which was like a cartwheel except that in a roundoff, you do a quarter turn so that you end up facing the direction you came from. Andie walked over to the bars, grabbed the lower one and swung up and over, she somersaulted in the air, grabbed the high bar, somersaulted again and landed on her feet. She was about to head over to the balance beam when she heard a noise behind her...

Girty looked up from her book and looked over the grass towards the lake to see a Ravenclaw jumping around using some bars. Feeling rather intrigued Girty took off her glasses, closed her book and slowly made her way in the direction of the Ravenclaw.
Standing with a smug smile on her face, watching Andie jump around and when she finished her routine she could not help put clap.
“Bravo, Bravo! I give you 9 out of 10. Your toes were not pointed enough on some of the flips. Improve that and I feel a gold medal coming your way.”
Girty could not help put laugh at the surprise on Andie’s face. She hoped she has not interrupted but it is not everyday you see someone doing muggle gymnastics.

Andie laughed. "Thanks for the advice Girt. I know it's kinda weird to see a witch doing a Muggle sport, but I love gymnastics! I've been doing it since I was about three." She smiled and tucked a stray hair behind her ear. "Hey, wanna see what I can do on the beam?" she asked gesturing towards the narrow, padded strip of wood.

Looking from the bars to the beam Girty gave a small shrug. She could really could not say no, and there was nothing else do apart from catch up on her reading. With a small nod of the head Girty sat down on the grass at the side of the beam.
“Go head. I will sit here feeling guilty has I do not have the balance to even stand on one foot let alone cartwheel across a beam.”
Placing her book beside her Girty started to clap her hands slowly in attestation of what will happen. She watched the Ravenclaw slowly get ready to do her routine. With baited breath she waited hoping that no spell would have to be used to mend a broken nose or any other bone.

Andie walked towards the beam, placed her hands on it, flipped up, landed on the narrow beam, did a series of backflips down the length of the beam, when she reached the other end,she did a handstand, landed on her feet, pivoted in her toes, facing the direction she had just come from, she did a cartwheel, a roundoff, a somersault and finished it all off with a perfectly executed salto. A flip rotating about the waist. She flipped off the beam and smiled.

Girty was impressed. It was a spectacular showing and was of a very good standard. When Andie flipped and stood smiling, waiting for Girty to comment, however she did not know what to say. With a blank expression she looked over at Andie and blinked a few tomes.
“Could you do that again? I missed it. A fly was bugging me and I spent the whole time trying to swat it with my book.”
Girty tried to not laugh as she pointed to her book, but it was hard. From the look at Andie’s face Girty picked up her book and started illustrating what she meant. Waving her arms around Girty chased after and imaginary fly.

Andie crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. "Girty? Seek help. Immediately!" Andie flopped down on the grass with a sigh. "I'm exhausted!" she reached in her bag for her water only to realize that she had left it in the dormitory. "Dammit! Left my water in the dormitory again!"

Putting down her book Girty looked over at Andie. She gave a small smile. She looked over at the exhausted Ravenclaw and crawled over towards her. She flopped own beside of her and looked up at the cloudy sky.
“Well if it rains then we can hang open our mouths and drink that….or are you one of these people who say we should not do that sort of thing??” Girty gave a quizzical eye over at the girl before giving into laughter.
“My mother always tells me to carry water with me. But I never do. It ways down my bag…” Girty broke off, sitting straight up, slapping herself on the head. Reaching into her pocket Girty pulled out her wand. Soon there was a cup in her hand that was over flowing with water.

Andie laughed. "Yeah, it does kind of weigh it down." She smiled as Girty conjured up a cup of water. "Wow. Cool." she laughed as she took the cup. "Thanks." She took a sip and sighed as she stared out across the lake. "Wish I'd brought my guitar with me." she mused quietly.

It was about now Amadeus decieded to reviel himself to the other girls. Even he had to admit, it was an okay performance but the turqouise leotard and the red hair just killed him.
Silently climbing down from the tree top in his anamagus form, he reached the ground in no time. With his casual, silent strides, Amadeus took his sweet time strolling up behind them. Shifting back into his human form, he clapped a few times. "Bravo. That was a ... oh, what's the word," he looked up in thought for a second. "mediorce?" Amadeus nodded to himself. "Mediorce performance."

Andie rolled her eyes and shook her head, at her unusual friend. Amadeus lived to annoy her! "And what would you suggest to make it less... mediocre? Hmm?" she asked smiling slightly.

Amadeus raised a fine eyebrow. "Have you ever seen a Siamese in the middle of play? If you can master their art then you are a true gymnast." He couldn't help but smirk at the thought of Andie cartwheeling and back flipping and doing other stunts with amazing accuracy and speed while suddenly taking off and tackling one of her friends.
