Diego walked onto the pitch, broom held tightly in his hands as he looked at the hoops. Those were the ones he would have to throw the ball known as a Quaffle through, he had never played Quidditch before, but loved the sport and was a pretty decent flier.
He stood in the middle of the pitch and placed his broom on the grass, throwing the Quaffle up and down, making sure he could catch it, it didnt seem that hard, "Just like catching a football" he said to himself. He mounted his broom and kicked off from the ground, since he was a chaser he figured he may as well practise, even if it wasnt a sceduled team practise. He flew up, just higher then the stands, Quaffle under his arm, "Lets see how well i can catch it from up here" he said to himself once more and threw the ball as fast and as hard as he could, he chased after it, feeling the wind whip at his face, diving to follow the ball. Catching it with both arms, he slowed down and landed softly on the floor. "Not that difficult..." he mumbled to himself, though he was sure real games would be much harder.

Yer wasn't exactly on the Quidditch team but it didn't mean that she didn't like the sport. Infact, when she had time, she'd go to the Quidditch pitch and fly around. Today, Yuri had loads of time on her hands and not enough books to satisfy it so she grabbed her broom and headed to the feild.
Once she had her gear on, she stepped onto the field, "Hmm, looks like somebody has the same idea," she mumbled to herself. She didn't recognize the boy at all so she decided it'd be best to leave him be. Besides, she needed all the concetration she could muster. Yer mounted her broom and with a strong kick, she soared into the air. Her left hand gripped the broom tightly and lodged in her right arm was the quaffle her father had given her.
Yuri did a few laps around the field to get used to the feeling again. Every now and then, she'd glance at the Gryffindor boy to make sure he wasn't in her way.

Ash yawned slightly as he walked into the pitch, Lightningbolt 3000 hoisted over his shoulder. Looking up he saw two students, one he had already met, Diego Garcia, and one a fellow Ravenclaw. Watching them for a while he climbed on his broom and took to the air. "Hey Diego!" he called to the Gryffindor. Turning to the Ravenclaw, he said, "That was some awesome flying! If you're interested we still have two Chaser positions open on the team."

Yer gave a small smile towards Ashton, "Thank you but I must refuse. See, if I joined the team, it'd be against my parents wishes. My mother doesn't approve of Quidditch and doesn't even know I own a broom," she said with a small chuckle, "My father loves the sport but would never allow me to play if it went against my mother's wishes. I'm truly sorry," she said flipping her hair and flying in the other direction.
All Yuri wanted to do was fly, she could care less about playing. She just needed something to do to clear her mind. She looked back at the boy in her House and sighed. She felt bad for rejecting his offer but her mother would have a fit if she joined the team.

Diego stopped halfway through a turn to look towards the voice that had called to him, seeing Ash he smiled, "Hey Ash!" he said back to him and flew a little ways off, looking back down at Ash he half yelled. "Catch!" and threw it as hard and fast as he could towards the left hand side of Ashton. Looking back at the other flier on the pitch, he too noticed how well a flier she was, "And how would your parents know?" he asked her, "If you didnt tell them?"

Ash smirked as the quaffle came flying towards him, good thing I'm a seeker he thought to himself, as he shot forward and caught it without any troubel. Smiling he hurled it back toward Diego. "Catch!" he yelled.

"Hey nice catch!" Diego laughed as he watched Ash catch the Quaffle with no trouble at all. "Smooth move" he laughed again as the red ball came hurtling back towards Diego, rushing forward he grabbed it with both arms and in a fluid movement, put it under his arm and spun around on his broomstick and threw it back to Ashton.

Yuri flew fast and swift towards the two boys and came to a sudden hault. She smiled at the gryffindor and gave a small shrug, "I guess I never thought of that," she said with a slight laugh.
Yer watched the two boys throw the quaffle back and forth for a bit. When the Gryffindor threw it back to Ashton, Yer made a sudden movement and caught the ball before Ashton even had a chance to put his arms out. "I'll think about it," she said giving the boys a wink.
Yer tossed the ball up and down in the air for a moment before whirling it in the Ravenclaw's direction, "By the way, I'm Yuri Parish," she said with a grin, "Feel free to call me Yer," she finished.

Ash stared in shock, as Yuri reached out and caught the ball before he even had a chance to move. "Whoa, impressive! With speed like that, you could give me a run for my money for Seeker!" He grinned, "You really should think about joining the team Yuri, we could use someone with your skill."
