Welcome to Gaia! ::

Pulling her robe down so that her eyes were now visible Amelia looked at Jason when she heard his voice. He was handing her two capsules of Tylenol that he had just pulled from his pocket. Amelia wondered for a moment if he poisoned the capsules but by the look of fear on his face that Amelia would make do on her threat and jinx him into next week she knew that the kid was only trying to help. Sitting up and taking the capsules Amelia said, "Thanks Jason." She then proceeded to pop both capsules into her mouth and swallow them without water.

That was one of the many traits that Amelia had that freaked out her friends back home. Whenever she was sick she either a) ignored what was wrong with her and continue with whatever she was doing or b) swallowing pills without so much as a sip of water.

Before placing her robe back over her eyes and lying back down on the grass Amelia said to Jason, "You shouldn't give up so easily. To earn respect you fight honorably for what you want and if you don't succeed you come back again. You're a fourth year, you have three years to try again but gain as much experience as you can while you have the chance. Three of us are leaving after this year, learn from us while you still can." With that she laid back down and waited for the Tylenol to take effect. You couldn't keep Amelia from flying for very long. ....

Denying Sophie's offer of aspirin since Jason already gave her some medicine, Amelia continued to lay on the ground. Lying on the grass and barely awake Amelia heard the zoom of a broom going into the air.'Guess Jason took my advice.' and sure enough when Amelia peeked out of her robe and up at the sky, there was once again a second figure up there.

'This changes nothing between him and I though. He ever pulls a stunt like he did earlier again or disrespects me in anyway and he will be sorry he ever came across Amelia Marie Rochelle.' Once again Amelia pulled her robe back over her eyes to block out the sun. As she closed her eyes again Amelia prayed to God, 'Please don't make me regret convincing Jason to keep going. Please don't make me regret it.'

Amelia did feel slightly better that she gave Jason some confidence to keep going. She wouldn't be a Ravenclaw if she didn't, she would've probably been a Slytherin if she threatened Jason but then not care at all if he left the field without even trying. 'The kid has potential. I saw it first hand when he saved my first attempt at the goal. To see him give up after only trying to save two shots against him wouldn't be right.' Mumbling to herself Amelia said, "I really need to stop thinking about this. It's only making my headache worse despite the Tylenol."

Sophie rolled her eyes, prefering not to address Lori on the absence of her brother. "Yeah, sorry 'bout that." She said, before turning back to Sky and Xurdion. "Sure, and it's great to see you, Sky. I see you still have that accent." Mounting her Nimbus 2009, Sophie rose up casually as her two friends began to play around and acting, well, like guys. Silently cruising along, Sophie casually neared the goals, not drawing attention too herself. Finally, behind Sky, Sophie mouthed, 'Fake-out' towards Xurdion, basically refering to the classic move where one player pretends to try and score, but instead passes to another player, who then scores, since the keeper is otherwise occupied. She loved that move because it tested many skills a keeper needed, as well as what a chaser needed, to be on the team.

Damn, Sophie thought, shaking her head. "But Sky, that was simple move. If you really want us to do something complicated, we sure could. I just didn't want to make you cry." Smiling up at him, she flew back to Xurdion. "So which one do you want to do?" She asked him, wondering if they had made any new moves while she was exploring the catacombs of Paris with her parents, as she had been telling everyone who asked. Of course, no one remembered that she had already done that during the summer of her third year, so everyone she had told her excuse to was asking her about it, pretty much fawning over the fact that she could do something so fun while they were stuck at Hogwarts studying. Like they could take what was actually going on during those months, Sophie thought as she waited for Xurdion's reply.

Looking up at her friends, Lori nearly jumped up, barely remembering about Kani's head. "Sorry, Kani, but Quidditch practice without me is just not right," Lori said, hurriedly getting up while, at the same time, making sure that she didn't hurt Kani's head. Grabbing her broom, Lori quickly mounted it and flew straight up. Unfortunately, she hadn't calculated correctly and instead, shot right above them. Laughing, Lori headed down until she level with Xurdion and Sophie. "Helping Sky try out for Keeper?" She asked them, waving at her friend. "Hey, Sky, long time, no see!" Wow, apparently I've been out of it a lot. I haven't seen a bunch of my friends, Lori thought, silently making a late New Years resolution to try and not zone out as much anymore.

"Well, we did come up with a few during the Christmas dance but that would be down-right mean to pull on Sky. Especially since he probably hasn't played quidditch in a while." Xurdion told Sophronia, just then he noticed Amelia wanted to join them but she seemed as if she was in some sort of pain, Xurdion knew Amelia well enough to know that she usually didn't show pain like she was now. "Amelia!" He called as he flew down to her, he got off his broom and kneeled next to her. "Hold on, what do you have? I may have an herb to help you." He pulled out a small pouch that was in his quidditch robe pocket and began to look through the herbs in it, there seemed to be one for almost every ailment.

Before Sky could respond to what Xurdion was about to say, he was off. "Bloody hell, those two still at it with each other? Are they even together yet? If not, one of them best make a move and fast because this is Amelia's last year here, mine and Lori's as well. I was so hoping that I could see what would become of them but...what can you do?" He said to Sophronia, it was pretty loud but he doubted that Amelia or Xurdion could hear him. "Hey, brother! You going to help her so we can play or what?! You're usually way faster than this!" His accent was rich but he thought that nobody would mind, after all, he was amongst friends. Only teachers cared about his accent mainly because it could make him sometimes hard to understand.

Kanita rolled off Lori and instead folded her arms behind her head, looking up at the players floating above. They looked so very relaxed and comfortable, even though it was a competition. BUt since everyone was here because of their love of flying, that was what unified the team and potention members. Kani, on the otherhand, did not feel comfortable in the least anymore. Even if surrounded by her old team mates.

Pulling herself to her feet, Kanita could not bare the sight of quidditch after all. And though she felt horrid to let Vlaityn down in anyway, she just couldn't... just couldn't stay. "I'm sorry." Her words were whispered for Vlaityn's ears only as she hurried past the girl. In her rushed steps, her toe rammed into an idle rock and pulsed, but that went ignored as the farther from the quidditch practice she got, the faster she began running. And there was no stopping now. Kanita ran faster, breaths coming harder. She made a quiet enough, swift enough escape from the view of her friends that nothing would be noticed. Save only Vlaityn perhaps.

Even as the ground changed from soft grass to rough gravel stabbing into her bare feet, the witch continued till she all but lost herself in the power of her strides.

(( moving to roleplay elsewhere. Youe can assume kani was late for something and had to leave in a hurry. ))

Jordan had been flying a few laps above the others, relishing in the sheer joy of the action. The way the wind whipped his hair around, and the refreshing feeling that the chill in the air gave his skin was one of the greatest reasons Jordan loved flying. He had been so caught up in just enjoying the weather and prime flying conditions that he remained blissfully ignorant of the going on's below him. That was until a voice below him called out to Xurdion. Jordan was brought out of his stupor, and he flew a little lower to check out what was going on. Apparently the team was getting ready for some more practice, and now there was another oerson practicing for tryouts to get the keeper position. On top of that it looked like Jason was back in the running, and was already getting ready for some practice. Jordan's head hung in embarassment, 'Darn it,' he thought, 'everyone's getting ready for practice, and here I am quite literally getting my head lost in the clouds.' Jordan descended to the same elevation as the rest of the group, and came up beside Jason, "All right there Jason?" He asked nervously. Jordan was pretty sure that the fourth ear wouldn't try anything, but still there was alway's the possibility. After all, much much stranger things had happened at Hogwarts. "Sophie," he called out hoping to get her attention, "Can I be up after Jason?"
