Alex heard Rose's question "no, but thats because i don't want to, i'm just going to have some fun" Alex said to rose and then Ale flew over to Ginelle and Sparrow "if you want, you can practice shooting the Quaffle at the goal post and you'll get used to throwing it, for if Sparrow chooses you as chaser" Alex said throwing the quaffle that she had been practicing with, from arm to arm

'You might belong in Gryffindor, Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve, and chivalry Set Gryffindors apart;' . Thinking . . Speaking . . Action .
Excitedly, Ginelle took the Quaffle from Sparrow and felt the weight of it in her arm. She tucked it under her arm, practiced manuvering it in her hand, and decided to start flying with it. She Took it slow, and she practiced taking it out with her arm and putting it back.
When Alex offered, she turned a bit red. She knew she would suck, but she really did want to give it a shot. Maybe she could give her some pointers. "I would love to... But I think that I'm going to need a lot of practice with it... Would you give me pointers if you see anything I can change?" She asked. She flew up a little, practicing up a bit higher. Then, after she had already asked the question, she realized that she had not been up very high on her broom yet. Certainly not as high as the goal posts. But, she felt like flying wouldn't be a problem anymore. If anything, she was more likely to drop the quaffle.

Alex smiled "sure thing, meet you up there" Alex said dropping the quaffle that was in her hand and flying up to the goal post

Ginelle took a deep breath and flew up into the sky as slowly as she dared to go. Her heart started to beat faster, and she felt her spine shiver. She was nervous, but she didn't think she would fall off. She gulped. Alex was watching her, most likely, make a small climb upward. Then, she turned to Alex, and started to fly towards her. She picked up speed, and pulled the quaffle out from under her arm. With that, she threw it as hard as she could towards one of the hoops. It looked like it was headed straight there!

Alex smiled at Ginelle, bu then saw that she had thrown the ball and Alex smirked, she flew over to where the ball was about to score and Alex punched it, making it go all the way to the other side "good shot, but try to trick me, try to make the hit unpredictable, and throw it a little harder, but besides that it was a great shot and if you keep it up, you'll be a great chaser " Alex said, indeed it was a great shot, but Alex was a great Keeper and was not going to let any quaffles go in

Ginelle laughed. She knew that Alex would save it, which was why she didn't get her hopes up. She pulled out her wand and said "Accio Quaffle!" The Quaffle came back to her and she flew backward a bit. Then, she turned and decided to try a new approach. She flew straight toward the middle post as fast as she could and had the quaffle ready to throw right toward the middle post. She threw it, but it didn't go to the middle. It went to the right, just like she wanted it to. She had to fly upward to avoid hitting Alex though...
||I have to go! I MIGHT be on tomorrow, but I really don't know. If not, I'll try to get on Tuesday, and then definitely on Wednesday...||

Alex smiled as she saw Ginelle trick her, but again what kind of Keeper would she be if she let a beginner score, so Alex blocked it, but with difficulty, and Alex laughed "that was great mate! keep it up" Alex said still laughing

"I didn't know I could do something like that. That was fun!" She was getting the hang of it now, and she turned back and just started to fly towards the hoops in hopes to trick Alex. Ginelle flew in different directions every time, in hopes to trick the keeper. But she realized quickly why Alex was the keeper; she was really great at it. But Ginelle kept trying.

Alex saw that Ginelle never gave up, and Alex liked that about her, she liked someone determined. Ginelle was improving her Chaser skills and was great at throwing the ball and tricking her, but Alex still caught the ball, Alex wasn't the Keeper for nothing "your a natural at this Ginelle, i think you would be a great Chaser" Alex told her

Ginelle smiled at the compliment, and she even blushed a bit. There was really nothing about being a chaser she didn't like the idea of. She loved all of it. So she put all of her effort into it. But, she was getting tired. She figured she would just have a chance at it later, and she would let Alex rest too. "So, I'm getting tired. But I am having a really good time, and I think I'm going to keep a journal of things I can improve and everything! So, thanks for your help!"

Ginelle came back out the next day, more excited than she had ever been. She was going to get to fly again. She didn't care who was out there, she just wanted practice. She found a broom in the changing room and she went straight out to the pitch. She practiced everything she did yesterday, and then she started to try new things. She one thing she wanted to do was fly quickly up high. She rose up to where the goal posts were and she looked down. Of course, she was nervous. She could have fallen off, and she could have died. No one else was out with her yet that she was aware of, so she was careful at first. She started to fly, and then she pushed herself to go faster. Then faster. Then even faster until she felt like she couldn't go any faster. Then, she angled herself more, and she felt like a speeding bullet. It was an amazing feeling. She was zooming around the pitch!

Alex walked into the Quidditch pitch, she noticed Ginelle there, but Alex didn't want to disturb her so she went into the locker room, changed into her Keeper cloths and went out again, she mounted her Firebolt and flew towards the goal posts and started flying the fastest she could from one end to the other

Ginelle smiled as she saw that Alex was on the field. She didn't want to bother her though, so she kept flying around the pitch as fast as she could. Then, she flew into the middle of the pitch (Lower from Alex) and started to do the same thing she was doing, but then she stopped right in the middle and turned around ocassionally. She wanted to get good at stopping fast and turning around, so she could get good at the team sport. She really wished she could have practiced with the team though. That would have made it easier.

"Accio Quaffle!" Ginelle said. She was new to the whole summoning thing, but it seemed to be working just fine. She figured she would take some shots with out Alex there and she could get even better at it. This was fun to her! She was going to get to practice with the team. She watched a bit of snow fall from the sky, and sighed. She really didn't like the idea of playing in the cold, but she decided that she would have to play in any weather, and she would be prepared. So she kept at it.
