Quidditch. It was one of the best things about being a wizard, besides all the magic, of course. The feeling of being up in the air was incredible. After taking off from the ground and soaring up, it was like all of the little problems in life were left back down below. When James was flying on his broomstick, there was nothing to worry about but winning. Adrenaline and energy were the best feelings; it made him feel alive. But there was more to just flying around that James loved about Quidditch. He studied it, read all the books. One thing that fascinated him was the evolution of broomsticks. His father kept his old Firebolt, and while it was still a good broom, there have been so many changes that made much better ones. James, himself, had a more defined version of the Firebolt. It had the same name with a few digits afterwards, proclaiming it was the same broom just edited to perfection.

James had his broomstick on his shoulder and a rattling box in his other hand as he made his way down to the Quidditch pitch. He was really surprised to see no one was outside practicing. It was too early for most, even for the other Quidditch captains. James was used to waking up early though; he liked getting around while no one else was out. When he finally reached the pitch, he set down the small trunk and his broomstick. He stretched out his long arms, making sure to prep them for training. James' shoulder had the tendency of popping out of place if not properly stretched.

After he felt like his body was loosened up enough, James knelt down to the dark trunk. He opened the lid and inside were four balls. In the middle was the largest one, the Quaffle. It was about twelve inches, red, and covered in leather. It didn't fly or anything, but simply had to be passed around by the Chasers. Chasers were vitally important to the game, but James thought the Beaters had more fun. Next, the smallest ball was covered with a tiny latch so it couldn't fly free. The Snitch was an interesting piece of work. Invented by Bowman Wright in order to save the Snidget population from extinction. In most cases, whoever caught the Snitch won, but not always. If the Chasers managed to score more than one hundred and fifty points, they could keep a steady tie. But in reality, it all came down to the Seekers. 'Course, they couldn't do their part without the Beaters. James smirked as one of his hands rested on the restless ball which was heavily chained down. The Bludger was by far the most deadly ball in Quidditch. Jet black and made of pure iron, it could break bones if it wanted. Of course, that wasn't the goal. Their goal was to just knock players off their brooms. The Beaters goal was to keep his teammates safe and endanger the others.

James was a Beater, despite his first intentions of becoming a Seeker. It suited him since he was agile, yet strong. He certainly was fit enough to bat the Bludgers about, aiming it for the opposite team. He bent down on his knees, and slowly rested his hand over the latched Bludger. Ever so slightly, he leaned away before unleashing it. Almost immediately, the black iron ball flew up into the air and dove around the field, looking for other flying objects in the sky. After releasing the Bludger, James grabbed his broomstick and kicked off the ground and soared into the air. The Bludger was flying in circles, still searching for more students on their broomsticks. When it finally spotted James, it took on an impressive speed and did quick turns and twists. James was ready. He gripped the bat in his right hand and watched the Beater, contemplating which angle it would strike at. The Beater soared around before aiming itself at James' left shoulder. He was there before the Beater had a chance to fly another inch. With his gloved hand, he raised his bat and struck the Beater far into the distance. James chuckled to himself as he watched it soar directly through the middle of the three golden posts. "All too easy." He smirked.

tearing love apart,

lily luna potter stretched in her top bunk in the girls' dormitory in the lions' den. her head lay on a soft, cotton-covered pillow, quite peacefully at that. a red sheet wrinkled beneath her, while an orange and red comforter covered her form. she peeked out from underneath the covers, staring at the ceiling. there was nothing too interesting about the ceiling of which she looked at. it was a simple fifth wall that enclosed their room, but that was generally what ceilings did anyway. still, at hogwarts, she'd imagined some stars gazing down at her or something to that effect. but eh, you get whatcha get.

the young gryffindor rose from bed and climbed down the ladder, her feet grazing the cold floor as she neared it. she shivered slightly, then closed her eyes as she let herself down. "brrr!"

[/color] she exclaimed, her red hair flashing across her vision as she whipped about, skipping to where her trunk lay against the wall. she fumbled through it and gathered a pair of jeans, a red and white striped cardigan, and some white tennis shoes. she'd already showered the previous evening, so as to save some time for herself that morning. after all, she heard it'd be a wonderful day outside - which would be the perfect opportunity for her to get in some quidditch practice.

lily dressed in a small corner of the room where a solid curtain had been hung from the ceiling in recent years. she knelt and tied her shoes, then hurried across the room and threw her pajamas into her trunk. she pulled out her round mirror and set it on the wood of the bunk, where it could sit angled properly. lily applied a little bit of makeup, pulled her hair back into a half-ponytail, leaving the other half down, and then gently placed the mirror back into her trunk. after gathering her bag, of which she draped in front of her, over one shoulder and hanging down by her side, the strap across her front, she exited from the dormitory with a subtle smile upon her features.

she headed down to the great hall where she found many of her friends sitting at the gryffindor table. lily grinned at them and took a seat between two of them, situating a plate of eggs and bacon on her plate. she ate quite quickly, then was off - but, not before grabbing an orange for the road. lily rushed out of the castle and out onto the grounds, heading toward the quidditch pitch. she grinned as she jogged, her bag patting against her side every so often. upon meeting the dirt, she glanced up at the sky, noticing her brother, james. "ello james!"[/color] she shouted, then waved. she laughed slightly, then opened up her bag and withdrew her wand from her sleeve. "accio broom!"[/color] she pronounced, aiming into the bag. suddenly, her nimbus flew out and she caught it mid-air. she chuckled, then threw her bag down onto the ground. lily hid her wand up her sleeve once more, then mounted and kicked off.

lils smiled widely as the wind hit her face, blowing her flaming hair back against her shoulders. she started flying around the pitch, ignoring james' presence for a while. she knew it'd be good for them to practice together, but at that point she was just doing laps to warm up. she was sure, though, that james would be on her case about practice in due time.

As James watched the Bludger continue to soar and try to slow its momentum enough to turn, he gazed back at the grounds. Not far away from the pitch, he saw a patch of flaming red running towards the field. Without a doubt in his mind, he knew it was one of his family members. Either his sister, or one of his other red-haired cousins. The fiery hair color came from his mother's side of the family. Secretly, James was thankful he didn't inherit it. It wasn't that he disliked red hair, not at all, it's just he wanted to maintain some individuality from his family. He loved them to bits, but it was hard enough trying to build a reputation outside of his father's greatness, or make people not compare him to one of his various cousins.

Before long, the figure was at the pitch and James could clearly see his sister. She looked up and saw him, waving and greeting him. And soon enough, Lily was up in the air with him. But instead of coming over to him, she sped off, simply flying. Silly sister, James thought with a sigh. If she bothered to get up so early, why not use that time to train instead of doing fun runs around the pitch? James was about to let her just be on her merry way and for him to continue his solo training, but from the corner of his eye he saw the black iron ball chasing after Lily. It was dangerously close to her, and he didn't think she realized he had it out. With an internal groan, James spun around on his broom and chased after Lily. As he cut through the air, James pulled out his wand from a pocket of his robes. He continued his pursuit until he was at a safe enough distance to cast a spell. "Immobulus!" James shouted as he aimed his wand at the Bludger. To his surprise, it hit the Bludger his first try. The iron ball suddenly stopped in its tracks and simply floated in the air in a peaceful sort of way. James slowed down until he was just sitting in the air on his broomstick. He let out a small sigh of relief, but then glared at Lily.

"Lily Potter!" James bellowed absolutely furiously. He refused to continue chasing after her; she would just have to fly over to him for his lecture. It was funny, sort of, how protective of his siblings James was. The carefree, boisterous James Potter. But when it came to his family, he protected them from everything. Little things like Bludgers, or in Lily's case, boys. Although Lily was a teenager and at a suitable age to start dating, James still thought of her as his small, baby sister. He didn't want her to be thinking about boys, and he certainly did not want them around her. She didn't know, but James subtly--or not--delivered warnings to any boy he overheard whispering about her. It kept most of the eager Hogwarts boys at a good distance because none of them wanted to be the one to test the patience of James Potter. Only a fool would do so, or someone seeking death.

tearing love apart,

lily didn't pay attention much to surroundings behind her, but she heard a zipping sound that distracted her. she glanced back just in time to see a bludger soaring after her, and james pointing his wand at it from across the pitch. she yelped, her lungs feeling as though they were filling with water. "james!"

[/color] she shouted. james yelled out a spell and the bludger stopped chasing her immediately, beginning to float mindlessly through time and space.

she breathed hard, catching herself as she turned around. lily stared at the ground from above, attempting to regain her focus. she did so quite quickly, but gulped hard as james yelled her name. she flew over to him and hovered in front of him. "don't yell at me like that, james potter! it's not like i knew!"[/color] she shouted, then stuck out her tongue. she knew he was only being protective, but sheesh. lily tossed her hair over her shoulder and flew off, doing an upside down loop. she turned back around and looked at him from across the pitch, grinning.

lily laughed to herself as she watched james' serious expression. "so james...wanna let me join you and some of your cute friends tonight?'[/color] she teased from across the pitch. lily couldn't help but giggle. james did have some cute, older friends - one of the benefits to having older siblings. they would never let her near their friends though. still, that didn't mean she couldn't go behind their backs, eh?

James watched as Lily flew over to him and demanded that she didn't know so she wasn't at blame. She was so stubborn, which was bad since he was also the same way. Before he had time to really lecture her, she flew off and did somersaults through the air. James sat poutingly and rolled his eyes once she grinned mockingly at him. "Maybe you should pay more attention!" James called back obstinately. With a sigh, he flew towards her again.

Lily was clearly not finished having her fun as she continued to provoke him by saying she wanted to hang out with him and his 'cute' friends. While he remained cool and collected on the outside, he was bugging out in his head. To him, his friends were the best and he wouldn't trade them for the world, but he knew his friends. And they were all too much like him. The thought of them being with Lily was too awkward and angering. But James knew that it was a silly thought; his friends knew not to go near his sister, or his cousins for that matter.

James smirked at her, "None of my friends are interested in little girls, sis. Keep dreaming." On the contrary, he was sure that boys in his year would be fine with dating Lily, which made him even more cautious around them. It was bad enough for James to think of Lily dating someone her own age; an older boy would be that much worse. But at the moment, he didn't have the patience to tolerate the thought, so instead, he laughed it off. Besides, he knew that Lily was only teasing him to get him all worked up and angry. He wasn't about to give her the satisfaction.
