Persephone headed down from her common room. Her long silver blone hair was pulled back into a ponytail and her green eyes were lit with a fire caused by the pain of defeat.
Persephone held her firebolt in her hand. She caressed the handle and thought about the practice that she was going to do today. She wasn't going to use the snitch right now. It was far to dark to do that, so she had brought a bunch of golfballs out to enchant and use as pseudo snitches. They were in the pocket of her robes, a heavy weight against her thigh. She brushed her hand over them and took out one.
She kicked off into the air and enchanted it to be a snitch. She gave it a few seconds warning before she went after it and caught it. She would stay out her all night, or until she could get that snitch ten out ten times.
She wondered if anyone else would come down here to practice. It would have been nice to practice with someone else.

Persephone turned around hearing someone talk behind her. She couldn't make out exactly who it was, and decided that maybe she just needed to get closer to the person.
When Persephone landed she noticed that it was one of the girls who had been at the match and smiled at her.
"Yea, I don't mind."

Ariel smiled at her and put her hair up into a ponytail so when flying her hair wouldnt get in her eyes. she hovered over the ground and said "thank you so much! so, lets get started!" she flew in the air and turned around and waited for the girl.

Persephone smiled and nodded. She kicked back up into the air. Now she was back into her element, in the place where she belonged.
"Do you want to practice just with the snitch or with all the balls." Francially the seeker didn't mind. It would be nice to have someone to practice with, even if they weren't using her "snitches".

"Ok then. Let's start."
Persephone flicked her wands at the row of golf balls that she had laid down. She wondered how many to send up and decided that two should be fine. Any more than that and there was a chance that mass havoc would break loose and practice would be come something quite different.
Then Persephone realized that she didn't exactly know the name of the girl she was practicing with. "Oh, I'm Persephone, but people just call me Sephe!" she called back over her shoulder.

"Thank you!" Persephone smiled brightly, even though she knew the girl probably couldn't see it.
"Alright I'm setting the two "snitches" off. You go for one and I'll go for one. Then we'll throw them at each other and see if we can catch them. How does that sound to you?"

"GO!" Persephone called out loudly into the silent darkness.
With one flick, Persephone let the "snitches" fly. On her new broom, thanks to Jade, she was faster then ever before! She felt careless and free, ready to do anything at all.
But she wanted a challenge so she waited for the "snitches" to be out of sight before she decided to go after one. She only hoped that the one she went after, wasn't the one Ariel went after, especially since it was dark out.

"Umm... where did that snitch go" Ariel said while flying real fast "ah there it is" Ariel said to herself. she flew after it but it was heard to catch." i wonder how sophe is doing". *smirks*"iam going to catch that snitch before sophe." she said as she followed the snitch into the dark. *what happens if i run into sophe on the way and we fall? what happens if sophe gets hurt? what if i get hurt?* she thought to herself. "i cant let that bother me now, i have to win this and ill just hope that none of that stuff that i just thought will happen" Ariel said seeing that this was the first time she ever played qudidditch. all of a sudden Ariel felt happy again and she went after the snitch with full force not having a worry in mind."watch out sophe here i come!"

Persephone smiled to herself. She did this a lot, and reached out her hand and caught the "snitch". Not much of a challenge, but still, it helped her out. She wondered where Ariel had gone, and shrugged to herself. Then she heard Ariel call out behind her.
"I've got mine, do you have yours?"

"Yea!" Persephone's voice rang out through the night and a part of her flinched.
If only I could have caught it during the match!
Still this wasn't a time to regret, it was a time to move forward and get better. That, she reminded herself, was the meaning of practice. But still Persephone smiled, her green eyes filling with such light that you would have thought they glowed in the dark.
