Take the risk or lose the chance The winter air was crisp. There had been an emergency team practice called after the recent loss to Ravenclaw a week or two ago. Ariana made her way through the grounds, down to the quidditch pitch, Airiss in her hand. Admittedly her game was a little off lately, with her NEWTS and studying, school work and quidditch. There just wasn't enough time in the day. The pitch was in sight now, she was hoping that this wasn't too serious of a meeting, the Gryffindor was taking time from her study schedule with Professor Lancaster for this.
"First one here. Perfect." she said laughing at herself a bit. The Gryffindor was always late to everything, so being this early was almost a joke. None the less, Ariana zipped up her sweater a little more and mounted her Air Wave Gold, kicking off from the ground hard she soared upwards into the frosty wind. Might as well run some laps while the team arrived she thought. It had been so long since she flew just for fun.
Ariana gripped her broom handle and zipped and whizzed in and out of the goal posts, flipped and funnelled as she moved through the pitch throwing random moves out here and there, she hardly used moves like these since they were impractical in a game but they were still fun to do. The young Veela was just goofing around while she waited for her team members to arrive.

it was a nice day for a quidditch practice. clear, crisp, but not too cold. well, honestly any day is a nice day for quidditch practice. it was a way to let out some steam and it gave her something fun to do. and it was surprisingly to her how seamlessly she had integrated into the team, with the boys easily accepting her into the fold and ari taking her under her wings. there's just a sense of camaraderie at hogwarts, something she felt that didn't necessarily exist in the same way at ilvermorny. she liked it. it meant that she didn't have as many friends outside of the gryffindor house, but it also meant that those she did have, she was incredibly close to.
she arrived at the pitch and saw ariana already spinning around in the air. the equipment was already at the pitch too, and so, before getting up into the air, she took the liberty to release the two bludgers. she's gunna need that.
and with her beaters bat, and mounted her broom and kicked off into the air. whizzing around to the first bludger that she saw, she shouted, "oi ariana i'm coming for you!!" and with a swift smack of her beater's bat, she sent the bludger ariana's way.

Take the risk or lose the chance With the wind wiping through her hair, Ariana weaved in and around the pitch when she caught sight of someone entering the pitch. The chaser couldn't make out who was approaching from the height she was at but knew they would join her in the air momentarily. As Ari and her broom zoomed towards the goal posts she saw a small black angry ball headed straight for her. "Oooff" she grunted, rolling away from the bludger that was sent her way. Incredulously she looked around, it was Price.
oi ariana i'm coming for you!!
"Lauren!" she laughed "That was awesome, you nearly got me." The Gryffindor was amused and very intrigued by the sneak attack that Lauren had pulled. Lauren was a new student but a natural on the pitch, being the only other girl on the team, Ari needed the help keeping the boys in check. "How are you doing?"
The catch up was broken and short lived as the bludger made its way right back to the pair. "On your left" she said, swinging upside down on her broom before swinging herself right back up. "Nasty little thing huh?" she joked

If there was anything Gus could talk about for ages, it was probably quidditch. Was that lame? Probably. He could probably talk ages about Romy Carter, too, but that was beside the point. The pretty Hufflepuff wasn’t going to distract him from practice today… well, maybe if she were in the stands, but chances were that she was going to be important prefect stuff and wouldn’t be watching their practice. He was a little disappointed, admittedly, but as he bounded down to the pitch, his broom in hand, his mind went up into the clouds.
Literally, because he could see two of his teammates up in the sky already. Gus fist pumped into the air. Man, he loved being quidditch captain. He didn’t think he was that great of a captain but everyone… voted for him. His heart was full, and maybe that was cheesy but how could he not be happy about this?
”Nice one, Lauren!” he shouted, watching as she slammed the bludger through the air. Gus hopped onto his own broom and zoomed into the air, ducking quickly as the bludger came swooshing back through the air toward them. IF their team had one thing going for them, it was that they were all very good at watching those bludgers. ”I’m guessing everyone else is going to be fashionably late?” he commented to the girls, knowing they were always more timely than the boys. Honestly Gus wasn’t sure if Gooby or Jake were going to come today, but they’d make it work with the three of them. They were all pretty versatile in positions, he thought.

"That was awesome, you nearly got me." Lauren threw back her head and laughed. Oh my god she loved the wind and being in the air. It felt… so free. “that wasn’t even close Ari,” she yelled back at her teammate, “you’re too fast!” Truly; Ari was talented as hell and so speedy on her broom. Plus, she was actually never seriously intending on hitting her teammate. Gus would kill her if she sent one of their teammates to the hospital wing before their match. If there was something Lauren knew how to do it was to predict the trajectory of her bludgers on a semi-accurate level, and that was really just for fun. “I’m good! Great day to be flying today,” she said. The other Gryffindor girl flew to her side and made a comment on how the bludger was a nasty little thing. “and that’s why I love it,” Lauren said, grinning. She loved the how the angry black ball was so unpredictable, and she loved the satisfying sound has her bat made contact with it. As they zoomed around the pitch, Lauren had one eye on the bludger the whole time, and as it flew back towards them she gave it a swift hit to the other end of the pitch. It was then that Gus appeared and joined them in the air, and Lauren gave a little wave to their captain. He made a little comment about whether the others will be fashionably late, and Lauren threw her arms in the air as an exaggerated shrug. Honestly she had no idea. The boys on the team were so close and so if Gus didn’t know, Lauren certainly wouldn’t! “we can make it work with the three of us till they show up,” she said. “what’s the plan for today?” she asked him.

Take the risk or lose the chance The Gryffindor team was getting ready for their game against Hufflepuff that was coming up. After their loss to Ravenclaw recently, there had been more practices than usual but Ariana didn't mind, she loved being on the pitch with the team. Lauren shouted from across the pitch, the chaser laughed "You're dreaming!" She knew that Lauren would never intentionally hit her, she was incredible with her aim.
"I know you do!" she laughed, as the beater claimed her love for the bludger. The pair sat on their brooms high in the air, catching up a little bit before Captain Gus showed up. The wind blew her hair back and was a welcomed coolness on her face. Their captain soon joined them as he dodged the bludger, that thing just could tell when there was fresh meat on the pitch.
I’m guessing everyone else is going to be fashionably late?
Ariana shrugged "Sorry I haven't spoken with either lately. I'm sure they're on their way though" she added with a smile. Nodding at Laurens remark of making it work until then. The pair waited for instruction from Gus! He always had the best ideas to make their team stronger.

Okay, okay, okay. Jake was really late to practice. It wasn’t like he meant to. He just… got a little carried away with Tova. They were studying in the library and he wouldn’t stop teasing her. He was a hormonal teenage boy who just really wanted to kiss his girlfriend, but she wasn’t having it until they finished his Transfiguration essay. Jacob had pouted, but did as she said. By the time he was finished, he was already ten minutes late for Quidditch.
After kissing Tova goodbye with a promise to meet up later, he ran to Gryffindor tower to change quickly and grab his Nimbus. His parents wanted to get them all Quinn brooms, but in the end could only afford Ellie’s. They wrote to him one day in November about it and he told them to focus on her. Bug was so excited about joining the team next year. She was a wicked fast flyer and damn good at finding that snitch. She’s been searching for it her whole life. So, it only made sense she got the fastest broom. Leo had a Firebolt and Jake was content with his Nimbus. It was fast enough and it was accustomed to his movements. He rushed down the steps, half running toward the Quidditch pitch where everyone would likely be waiting for him.
When he got there, he saw Gus, Lauren, and Ari already in the skies. Where was Gooby? Jake mounted his broom and kicked off, soaring up to them. “Hey guys, sorry I’m late.”

Dang it!
Rae checked the time as she sprinted toward the pitch. She had gotten into a fist fight with Jennifer after she heard her talking shit about Liv Moretti and her lycanthropy. And thus...she had earned herself another detention.
She could still hear Professor Barlowe in her head.
Raelynn, darling...you need to learn to fight with you words...not your hands.
Of course, Rae had spent the entire detention arguing with the professor about how her words were good but her fists were more effective. And now she was late...Seeing the pitch in sight, Rae slowed her run and mounted her old model firebolt, zipping to the pitch and coming to a stop next to Jake...who apparently was also late.
"Sorry guys...detention..."
Rae shrugged as she pulled her hair into a ponytail and prepped for practice.
"How much did I miss?"
