This was it, her first chance as vice-captain to run a quidditch practise. All night she had stayed awake, trying to think of how Laura had managed to put such a good team together. Hopefully, the blonde wouldn’t lose her temper like her friend had a habit of doing, but hopefully the team would be well prepared for Saturday. If not, then it would be down to the reserves.
Nothing seemed to be planned. That was what was worrying the girl the most. Hopefully it would go okay… it just had to.
Taking a deep, calming breath as she dropped the ball containing the four balls onto the ground, Hayz shielded her eyes and looked up to the sky. The clouds were still a mild grey colour thanks to the morning. It was only eight o’ clock… Biting her bottom lip, she couldn’t help but wonder if it was too early. But then being early helped. It meant that there was no one else around to see her make a fool of herself.
Dressed in a pair of navy tracksuit trousers and a white tee, Hayzie waited for anyone interested in practising for the weekend’s match to show. Hopefully at least someone would show…

Makira Blackthorne strode down to the Quidditch Pitch, decked out in her Quidditch-like garb: they just happened to be the house colors. Makira was shaking all over with excitement. She held her Firebolt in her right hand, gripping it so hard her knuckles were white. She straightened one of her forearm guards and stopped for a moment, examining herself. She wanted to look her best to make a good impression. Makira set down her Firebolt and straightened up her shin guards, her other forearm guard, and her crimson cloak, tying tight the gold string in the front that kept it from flying off. She smoothed out her extremely dark, medium length hair, and picked up her beloved Firebolt once again, gripping it just as hard, if not harder than before.
She made it to where Hayzie was standing. She softly, but excitedly said, "Hello, Miss Hayzie? I'm Makira Blackthorne. I'd like to try out for the Seeker position, if it's available, please." she said, desperately hoping it was: that's all she'd been practising for, being a Seeker. She smiled and waited patiently for a response, her amber bespeckeled, sienna eyes glinting with excitement.

Aidana walked onto the Quidditch Pitch, the slight wind rustling her auburn hair. Her emerald green quidditch robes fanned out behind her. In her hand, she held her broom, the Veloce. She and her brother, Aylen, had developed it and charmed the wood themselves. Her emarald eyes scanned the Pitch, and she saw two figures stading in the distance. She knew one to be Makira. So the other one had to be the captain. She smiled slightly to herself.
There is a time and place for seriousness and determination...But this is not it! She walked boldly up to the captain.
" Aidana Hawkins reporting for duty CAPTAIN!" she yelled, while giving a mock salute.
" I am ready to preform any duty you have of me mam! I am ready to play in any position! I will sacrifice myself for the good of the team MAM!!" Aidana stood tall with her broom in her right hand, giving all her attention to the captain, and how she would take this.
" Though, I'd love to be a beater..." she added as an afterthought.

Ark walked out onto the field with broom in hand. He looked at Hayzie and smiled. "I'll try out for anything, though I prefer Seeker" he said.

Makira heard her boyfriend, Ark's voice and frowned when he said he'd prefer Seeker. "Hi, luv." she said.

"Don't worry luv, I'll probably become a Keeper or Chaser." Ark replied cheerily. He then turned to Aidana and grinned. "Beater eh? I hope you get the position." he told her.

Makira grinned and said, "Thanks, Ark." then turned to Aidana and said, "Wicked! You get to help protect me! ...That is, if we even get our desired positions."

Aidana grinned when Ark wished her good luck with the position.
" Yeah," she mused, " I've had a lot of practice with Aylen."

Elorra walked onto the Quidditch Pitch, her broom and beaters bat were somehow together in one hand while her other hand was brushing her long dark brown over her shoulder. She wore what looked to be a fawn pesent blouse and what looked to be a denim corset over the top of the blouse, the top itself was all one thing. And she also wore denim jeans that had a tie on the hip and strands of the tie fell down her leg.
Stopping next to Hayzie, Elorra smiled and let her broom and bat float in the air. "Morning Hayz" greeted Elorra while pulling her hair into a high ponytail so that her pointed ears were visible "Do I really have to tell you which possie I would like?" asked Elorra still smiling, a hint of a laugh in her voice.

Hayzie smiled to herself. People had shown up! Albeit there were only four so far, but four was better than none at all!
Looking around the group, she giggled as Elorra showed up, and shook her head. "No, you don't need to tell me. Just watch where you're swinging that bat this time, okay?" she grinned up at her faerie friend.
Looking around the group, she brought her fingers to her lips and let loose a loud whistle.
"Okay, guys. Before we start doing much more, I want you all to do five laps around the pitch just for warmup, k?" she requested, standing aside. "I'll wait down here for now and see if anyone else is going to show."
For the blonde, this felt strange. She was taking charge of a practise?! How had this one happened? Either way, she wrapped her arms around her stomach, as if cold, and grinned again. "When you're ready, guys."

Makira replied, "Okay." as she let go of her broom and let it float to perfect mounting height. She got on, glanced back at everyone else, and took off. She quickly did two laps and while passing them on the third called, "C'mon you lot!" Makira slowed down the pace of her laps a couple notches as she didn't want to finish too quickly.

Hayzie smiled at Makira, glad that she was confident enough to take the first step. Laughing a little to herself, she remembered every time Laura had tried to get her to do warmup laps. She would dawdle forever and wait until her friend was just about to snap before soaring into the air and doing her laps.
"Okay, c'mon guys. Sooner we get started, the more you'll all improve."

Lucius stood a ways off from the rest, he had no idea so many people turned out for these things. He was new but he was a desent quidditch player. He knew that they were more then likly better then him. He walked up towards them a little more but kept his distance. He was carrying his nimbus 2001 while he knew it was a good broom if any had a firebolt they would out strike him fast.
He got a little nervous as he began to speak up to hayzie "Hello Heyzie, you said be here by 10." he smirked a little in a futal attempt to relive the tense suddenly building in side him.

Hayzie smiled. "Yeah, I know... Got a little nervous, though," she commented truthfully, giving him a weak smile.
"You ready to go, though?" she questioned, raising a brow at him, the smile still teasing her lips.

Lucius felt a little better. He was good with people just in big situation he got a bit nervous. He let the broom fall on to the ground in the old style. He clapped his hands together, the gloves he wore not very clear to see. The three jewels on each wrist flashing as he clapped his hands together. "Up." he s ide causally. the broom lifted up next to him. "lets go i guess, i am better in the air then on the ground i swear." he said as a joke to hayzie, joking made him feel better
