GRYFFINDOR QUIDDITCH MINGLE | OPEN

Who: The Gryffindor Quidditch team (and anyone else who would crash their prractices/get-togethers)
Where: The Quidditch Pitch
When: Oct 1st - 5th
Rating: PG, label if higher.
Summary: Log for the BEST TEAM IN THE SCHOOL.
The Story:

A. PRACTICE (SUNDAY)

[There's at least one proper organized practice, on Sunday morning before anyone heads off to Hogsmeade. James takes his position as captain with a great amount of pride, and he's always trying to come up with new plays, new strategies, and new ways to make their team the absolute best it can be. There's almost always a lot of building up his teammates and talking down the other teams, especially Slytherin.

At the end of the day though, the other teams don't matter as long as they do their best - because according to James, Gryffindor's best could beat anyone, even professional teams. You also probably have to endure terrible metaphors about how they're a pride (like a pride of lions), but he's so enthusiastic about it that it's hard to really fault him for it.

This particular practice, James brought along a few dozen pumpkin pasties and juice as something of an apology for having practice during Hogsmeade weekend. There's a match coming up and they need all the practice they can squeeze in!

B. PITCH (WHENEVER)

[Even when they don't have official practices, James tends to put in at least an hour of training in on his own, as long as no other teams have it. He tends to go in the morning before class, to wake himself up and tart his day.

Though...to be honest, he doesn't always practice daily, but lately he's felt the insatiable need to fly as much as he can. Eh. Maybe he's getting nostalgic in his last year.

Either way, he'll happily practice with anyone who turns up, in an even more informal practice setting.

C. WHEREVER (WHENEVER)

[Got something Quidditch-related in mind that you don't see here? Start your own thing and the team will surely flock to you!]

[Her face pulls into a sly smile, her broom bobbing lightly in anticipation.]

Last one to the opposite team hoops buys the other their butterbeer later.

Oh, you're on.

[Jo mounts even as she answers, preparing to push off at a moment's notice-- it's bound to be a close race, if nothing else.]

Eat my dust, then, sweetheart!

[And she jumps on, zooming off as fast as she can coax her broom, pressed flat with only one leg hooked around for stability- the other straight back, for the least drag, like a bullet whizzing through the air.]

Nice try!

[Jo pushes off immediately afterward, leaning forward to help herself gain speed quickly, pulling up just behind and to the right of her teammate as she gains distance.]

Alright, so we can both go pretty fast in a straight line-- what about something fancier than that, huh?

[She laughs, full and loud, looking at Jo as she brings herself around.]

What've you got in mind, then?

Why not get a little acrobatic?

[They're both fully capable of it, she knows that much. Chasers aren't just fast-- playing Quidditch requires excellent control of your broom in all situations.]

Oh, bring it on. I'll get all flexible for you.

[Shepard, you can't flirt you way out of this one like you can with Sirius, have some self control.]
