Come here to practice playing Quidditch. (you may choose to role-play or go over the quidditch rules)

Darius was early for Quidditch practice. He walked onto the empty Quidditch pitch with his broom in his left hand, his schoolbag in the other, and the beater's bat between his teeth. Once he got to the center of the field, he dropped all his things and sat down on the grass, and began to stretch, awaiting the other players. Darius swung the bat a few times, and tried to get used to the weight and feel of the weapon. Once the team got here, everyone would know how bad of a Quidditch player he was, and failure was what Darius feared most.

Caesar walked on the field feeling very confident with his new broom. He had always been good at quidditch and his parents thought so to. He went over to Darius and said, "Yo wanna do some bludger like tenis game, we both keep hiting it torwars eachother?"

Darius looked blankley at Casaer. "You mean practice right away? But we haven't stretched properly yet! We could tear muscles without stretching..."

Poppy raced onto the pitch, her face a brighter red than her hair. She was carrying her new broomstick. Halfway through the pitch, a look of realization crossed her face, and she hopped on her broomstick and zoomed over to Darius in Ceasar, who were looked like plastic dolls off in the distance. She landed close to them, panting. "I'm sorry I'm late...I got a little caught up at the Hog's Head. Strange folks in there today- not like I'd heard. Anyways, shall we get started?"

I guess so! Here I have a idea, Poppy we let the snitch out for you then me and Darius try to hit the bludger and try to stop you. You played quidditch before Poppy?

"Well, yes, a little. But I've been flying for all my years at Hogwarts, so it's been quite a while. Err...shall we get started." Feeling a little queasy, Poppy kicked off, and turned a few arcs in the air, waiting for Caesar to release the snitch...

Darius finished stretching his leg and stood up, and grabbed his broom. The paint powdered in his grip, and when he mounted it, it lurched dangerously. Darius had enchanted his mum's old housebroom into a Quidditch broom in his first year, and he prayed as he pushed off the ground that the spell would not wear off just yet. Darius took the broom out between his teeth, and hovered there, waiting for the Caesar's bludger. "I didn't stretch for nothing!" Darius yelled, growing bored.

Caesar realesed the snitch and the bludger and kicked off. He sat waiting for poppy to see the snitch and run after it!

Immediatly, Darius lurched backwards, suprised at the speed of the bludger as it pelted towards him. He blocked his face with his bat instinctivly, and the bludger hit him in the stomach, causing Darius to yelp. Angrily he dropped his bat and grabbed it with both hands. "What did you do to this one?!" Darius shrieked as he struggled to keep the bludger in his grip. "It's cursed!" Darius threw the angry maroon ball back at Casaer, and it zig-zagged.

Poppy tried to stifle her laughter at Darius' antics. Turning her attention back to her task of catching the snitch, she turned a few loops over the pitch. It was strange. On a clear day such as this, she should've been able to get a glimpse by now....And suddenly, she did, a little snatch of gold. The only problem was, it was heading towards the Forbidden Forest. "Er...We have a mischevious snitch here. It just zipped off towards the forest." She yelled, trying to keep the little thing in her eyesight. It was getting smaller and smaller in the distance, and she sighed at her failure.

OOC: Yo fisheyes I suggest you edit that post. Snitches are bewitched to stay in the boundries.. unless you want to have a Bewitched snitch by someone...
Caesar took his and put it at his shoulder. The bludger was coming to him. Though he was laughing at what Darius did so he only managed to bassicaly bunt the bludger.

OOC: Yes, I was aware of that, but I was hinting at the fact that it was bewitched. See below, I'll sort it out.
Poppy squinted her eyes. She had lost sight of it. Suddenly...no...was it? Only ten feet away, the snitch was hovering. It fooled me! She thought, and with a yelp, leaned into her broom and began the chase...

ooc: HAHAHAHAHAHA that was a bad cover up, so i'm laughing.
Darius was busy watching Poppy and the snitch. "Catch it, Poppy! It's right there!" Darius screamed, pointing.

ooc: yeah. i know.
"I know I know don't yell at me!" screamed Poppy, intent on the snitch. It was so close! Her broom was unfamiliar, she didn't know it's quirks yet...No, no excuses. GO! She leaned forward, her hand opened and tense, the veins nearly popping out of her skin and- "I CAUGHT IT!" She screeched, and then immediately felt foolish. It was only practice after all. But with the snitches wings whirring in between her fingers, she grinned as though the had just won a game. Oh please, please let that happen again at our first match...please.
