Girty flew still for a while she was thinking. She ignored Thom when he arrived but listened to Grace as she explained what they were going to do this practice. As Grace let up the quaffle Girty flew in toward them. She did not know what she was meant to do at this point but flew in and caught the qauffle after Thom had thrown it. She gave a slight smile. Then she placed it firmly in her right hand as she slowly put her feet on the broom and raised slowly until she was standing. Girty then with her foot she tilt the broom and she slowly glided upward. When she reached what seemed to be a good hight she dropped the quaffle seeing if anyone would get it.

Boggleworth watching Thom's and Girty's antics in awe and didn't know what Grace was on about, hawkhead formation he'd never heard of it. He was racking his brains when the quaffle bounced off his head and plummeted onwards, he looked up startled "oh hello," he said then"goodbye quaffle!" as his old broom didn't have a chance of having enough speed to gather up the quaffle.

'Oh come on, Bog!' Thom laughed. 'Have you completely lost your spirit - or forgotten our little House talk on cheating?'
Discreetly Thom pulled his wand from his robes, and as the quaffles fell of quickly muttered a summoning charm so that it shot straight back upwards, past Boggleworth and into Thom's hand. 'I admit it might look little suspicious in a match, but you never know, we could create a few distractions!' Thom winked down at his team mate before tossing the quaffle once more.

Boggleworth shook his head at Thom's cheating and soared up towards him, "Thom, me ole pal, we don't need to cheat to win the cup, twill be easy enough without it, though that's a grand thinking for the Guild though, methinks somebody may just spot us!" he laughed "you of all of us doesn't need to cheat take the rare compliment while you can,"

Thom grinned with a self righteous thrust of his chest. 'Common knowledge, mate, common knowledge...'
He then soared off higher, dipping and diving at different speeds. 'I don't need to handle the quaffle unless we're going to do some serious cheating - send out the snitch!' he chanted the last part in a singsong voice as he leaned from side to side on his speeding broom, looking like a child absorbed in a racing game as he made muggle car noises. He wasfar too overly excited.

Impressed more than usual, Leigh stood and turned, glancing back with pride at his House's Quittich team.

Girty was looking around while till standing on her broom and she saw the Leigh. "Hello Professor!" She shouted waving her arms in the air. Then with a small laugh she thought she would join the other lower down. She then tilted the broom with her foot again and slowly went down. But as it is Girty she can never do two fancy things in a row. her started to slip off the end of the broom as she had done the angle to tight. In vain hope she mad herself fall backward and she landed on the broom. and gripped it tightly. That will give me a bruise in the morning she thought as she rubbed her back while bringing her broom back to a safe angle.

Grace smiled at Alicia. "Don't worry, we've just started. Join in! Right now we're just warming up, nothing too serious!" She watched as the quaffle was passed and fell and was passed again. She jumped onto her broom again and sped off, catching the quaffle in both hands, then hugged it to her chest.
"Thom," she said, turning her broom around, "we're just warming up now! Relax!" She passed the quaffle again and watched for who would bet it.

Girty flew in ready to take back the quaffle. She loved the feel of flying to catch it and then passing it on again. It gave her a sense of importance. She laughed while scooping it up before closing her eyes, putting the broom at a tight angle so she spun around in a little circle. Then once she lost all sense of direction she let go of the qauffle to and stopped the broom form spinning so she could see who got to it first.

Grace rolled her eyes and dived for the quaffle. "Girt, we need to go broom shopping for you!" she chirped, then threw the quaffle up to her.

With a lopsided smile Girty tired to find Grace as the world around her still spun. "What do you mean?" she was talking to the 3rd Grace she saw hoping it was the right one. "My broom is fantastic." She tapped it on its side as a few of the twigs at the end fell out.

"Yeah, of course!" she said sarcastically, "and I'm a monkey's uncle!"

Girty now only had two images of Grace to choice from but carried on talking as the world around her slowly stopped spinning. "Are you really? You will have to let me met up with your nephew." She laughed and tried to fly a bit before falling off her broom side ways.

Grace laughed at Girty but then noticed she seemed a little dazed. "Girt?" she asked, flying up next to Girty, "you alright?"

Girty was now hanging upside down with her legs still wrapped around the broom. "Erm... I'm OK thanks upside down Grace." she giggled and looked around her. "Any ideas how i can get out of this situation?"
