[Q. Pitch] Ravenclaw Practice

[Loren Hayes]

Loren laughed. 'I'd appreciate it, yes!'

Veering off toward the middle of the pitch, Loren scooped up the quaffle on her way and proceeded to tossing it in the air as she flew along, catching it here and there. The bludger swerved toward their end of the pitch again, and Loren gestured with her chin toward it, prompting Emily to get ready. 'Give me a workout!' she called, feeling the adrenaline preparing her.

[Emily Leets]

Emily grinned, tossed the bat up and caught it in her opposite hand, and sped off towards the bludger. Stretching her arms, she gripped the bat in her right hand. She took aim and swung at the bludger. *Crack* - the sound of the bat making contact rang out. She watched intently as the bludger sped towards Loren, ready to go after it again.

[Loren Hayes]

Loren grinned in anticipation and threw the quaffle high into the air so that she may pursue it. Her hair bobble had come out at some point during the last relay, and locks of her hair whipped about in wind, hotting in the face and blinding her. The sound of Emily's bludger hitting the bat echoed in the breeze, and in a panic Loren tossed her head to one side, ridding herself of her fringe. Her sight was returned just in time for her to avoid the bludger flying straight for her head. 'Whoa! Good shot!' Loren called out, rocketing forward and catching the quaffle.

'Let's keep going!' She suggested, moving away from Emily once more and throwing the bludger a little further this time...

[Emily Leets]

The Beater nodded, enthusiastically, admiring Loren's quick avoidance of the bludger. She sped off after the bludger once more, enjoying the free feeling as her hair whipped around her face. The bludger turned and headed right for Emily.
*Why, it's making my job a little easier,* she thought happily, switching hands. The bat was now in her left, she wanted to give both arms some practice. Winding up, she took aim for a second time, and let fly.

The resounding noise of bat meeting bludger rang in her ears again. This time her hit had not been as strong, as it was with her left arm. She hoped it was good enough anyways.

[Helia Ollivander]

Helia watched as the Chaser and Beater volleyed back and forth for a bit, 'Not to shabby...' she thoguht with admiration towards the two. 'Not too shabby at all...'
She smiled, remounted her own broom and sped off towards a set of goal hoops, "Ready to make things interesting?" she called to her fellow teammates cheerily. Now things were starting to fall into place.

[Emily Leets]

Emily was eying the bludger she had hit, as it began to veer off course and turn around. It came right back towards her. Switching back to her right arm, she swung again, sending the bludger to the opposite end of the field. She turned around on her broom to see Helia speed towards the goal hoops.

"Define interesting..." she said, flying more towards Loren and the team captain.

[Helia Ollivander]

"Hm, I was thinking something along the lines of letting loose both bludgers, sending of the snitch and really getting this practice underway. Sound good to everyone?" she asked cheerfully, wand at the ready to unlock the other crazy black ball from its chains.

[rileybabe]

Andie gave a nod of approval. "Sounds good to me. We are so gonna win the cup this year!"

((where the heck is Russell?))

[Loren Hayes]

'Go for it, Helia. I need a good work out!' She smiled, shooting off once more in a circle and coming up close to Andie. 'Ravenclaw are pretty impressive...' Loren smiled, gazing around at the handsome looking team with a gleam in her, thoroughly proud to have made their numbers.

The morning light was becoming a little stronger now, and although white breath poured out of her mouth and red nose, Loren still felt warm and happy on the inside.
