Robert Raiyn - June 14, 2008 06:40 PM (GMT)
It was very early in the morning as Robert nonchalantly began to walk towards the Quidditch Pitch with his frayed broom slung over his shoulder. Robert was a lazy student, and he seldom did things to help out his academics or anything else unless it was absolutley mandatory. Which was as to why he was a bit puzzled that he was actually out here this early when he could've been sleeping, perhaps he really was getting THAT bored around the castle that he was starting to do beneficial things for himself.

"This is stupid..." Robert muttered to himself as he tossed the broomstick onto the ground. "Why am I even out here? I have no interest in playing Quidditch what so ever.":

Ever since he first saw the game of Quidditch being played he was secretly fascinated by it, however knowing how difficult it was to get on a house team he in a way tried to force himself out of liking it. The passion and desrie that he had deep within him to play the game was a secret that he kept well-hidden.

He would then groggily pick up his broomstick and looked at it skeptically before putting it underneath him and hopping on. As he began to float a few inches above the ground a smile began to form on his face "This isn't so bad" he thought to himself before the broom jerked itself forward throwing him off like a rodeo cowboy.

"Errrrr." He grumbled as he got up and looked around to see if anyone was watching. Nope, not a soul, for he wouldn't have been out here if even just the caretaker was around - Robert hated to try new things in front of people. he greatly feared embarassment.

After trying to slowly ride the broom a few more times only to be thrown around harder and harder each time he tried he was readying himself to call it a morning and get some breakfast. "Hmm, maybe just a few more tries while no one is around" he said to himself, yet somewhat secretly hoping that a friendly student would happen to see him and perhaps give him a few pointers.

AJ saw the Ravenclaw leave the dorm secretly and decided to follow him. He also grabbed his broom, figuring to follow a boy with a broom, he should have one too.

When they got down to the pitch he decided to hide to see what the boy was going to do. AJ had never seen him try out for the Quidditch team and was surprised to see him out with a broom. When he attempted to fly he saw that it didn't really work out.

He flew out on his broom to meet the other student, "Oi, not too good eh?" he said.

"Need any pointers?" the boy just stared at him. "You're Robert right? I'm AJ. I've seen you around the common room."

Robert Raiyn - June 14, 2008 07:34 PM (GMT)
Upon seeing the student named as AJ, Robert was a bit aggitated that he was watching him from a distance, fellow house member or not. Robert never really was on to accept help from another with open arms, however he was starting to think that he really needed it. Besides, the boy looked a lot older, and was surely a lot more experienced in riding than Robert was. Reluctantly, Robert decided to be freindly, afterall, AJ was just trying to help.

"Yeah, I'm Robert, Robert Raiyn, a 2nd year. I've actually been out here for awhile now, but havent really been having any luck, so, yeah, if I could take you up on that tip offer it'd be much obliged mate."

Robert then dusted off his robes and grabbed his broom from off of the ground once again, this time with a bit more eagerness and motivation with AJ here to help him.

"Well then" said Robert as he pointed to AJ's brromstick "Shall we?"

Forrest Clandestine - June 14, 2008 07:58 PM (GMT)
Still exploring the school Forrest decided to go onto the Quidditch pitch. Not knowing anyone really she decided to just go see who was out there. not seeing anyone she dropped in the middle of the feild and layed there. she did a really big sigh and closed her eyes then opened them. "what the heck am i doing here " she said out loud to her self as she watched the clouds past over the sun.

AJ Vitcav - June 15, 2008 02:26 AM (GMT)
AJ asked to see how Robert flew. He wanted to judge if there was even hope. The sky was perfect for flying: no wind, no rain, nothing.

"Just go around the pitch a little. Lemme see how you handle."

While he was in the air, Forrest came to the pitch.

"Oh, hey Forrest." he mumbled.

Forrest Clandestine - June 16, 2008 08:45 PM (GMT)
Forrest jumped from the sound of a deep voice and turned to see AJ.
She smiled and said " Oh hey Aj." she didn't know how t react to Aj it was like just yesterday when he was trying to end her life for no reason.
She didn't understand why her older sister Sylence hated him so much then again it was sylence she hated everyone who didn't abide by her rules.
And obviously AJ was one of those people.
After she spoke to AJ there was a pause she didn't know what else to say or what else to ttalk about. she hardly knew him and he probably hated her because alot of people hate the clandestines
She looked up in the air once more at AJ and said " um hey I like always wanted to learn how to fly and you guys are flying and i know you don't like me but uh......." then super fast she said " can you teach me how to fly?" waiting for his response she fiddled with her fingers and waited for his reply.

AJ Vitcav - June 16, 2008 09:24 PM (GMT)
He sensed she felt awkward. "Look about yesterday, I wasn't trying to hurt you. I would never. It's just your sister..." his voice trailed off. He wasnt embarressed, but felt bad that Forrest had such a nasty sister.

"Anyways, I was just helping Robert here with flying."

Forrest Clandestine - June 16, 2008 09:42 PM (GMT)
Robert? she thought to her self then looked farther up into the air and spoted a boy on a broom stick with the ravenclaw colors on.

Feeling embarrassed for not seeing him she said " oh hey Robert Im ... uh.... Forrest."

She smirked then said "so is that a yes or no vitcav?"
She awaited his response while she picked grass off of the quidditch pitch and everytime she picked one it grew back.

AJ Vitcav - June 16, 2008 09:45 PM (GMT)
"Oh yeah, sorry, wasn;t paying attention."

He wanted to add, just tell your sister to stop bugging me but didn't.

"Why dont you show me what you can do?" he asked her. "I'll go up too."

He hopped on his broom and took off to the air.

Forrest Clandestine - June 16, 2008 09:59 PM (GMT)
"What i can do?" she said to herself and him at the same time .

"Does nothing count as something "she yelled up as she struggled to get on the broom stick..
She finally got on the broom and motioned for it to go. the broom was going to fast.

she flew through the air like a knife slicing the air and winds around her.
Before she knew it her broom was doing loops and spins and she felt her cheeks touch her ears. She couldn't even scream there was to much air in her face.
With all the fast moving she manage to swing by AJ and say " so how am i doing?" the broom jerked and she was holding on with everything she had.
She was dangling from her broom stick and it was blowing her around like a paper bag on a highway.

She yelled to AJ and said " Hey ... um... is this suppose to happen like this?"
Her broom finally came to a halt and she fell on to one of the Qudditch goals.
her broom dropped to the grown as she groaned.
" if flying causes this much pain im better on the ground." she said as she dangled like a sack of potatoes off a quidditch goal.
" Hey uh could you get me down ?" she looked up to AJ wondering if she did somethiing wrong.

AJ Vitcav - June 16, 2008 10:05 PM (GMT)
AJ looked at her dangling and couldnt help but laugh. He flew over to her, grabbing her and putting her under his arm. He lowered to the ground, placing her on her feet.

"Maybe you should stick to walking. Not everyone can fly. It came naturally to me."

Forrest Clandestine - June 16, 2008 10:22 PM (GMT)
After she finally had her feet on the ground asudden feeling of relief came over her. " Yeah i guess you are right."
she then laugh and said " well i might can't fly but i can swim like a fish."

" well thanx for trying to help. between me and you i don't thinl ur that bad .... But don't tell ny sister i said that." she picked up her shoe that she dropped in the air and put it on her foot then she
placed her hands in her pocket and started to walk away off of the qudditch pitch.

AJ Vitcav - June 16, 2008 10:28 PM (GMT)
"Bye Forrest!" he said waving to her. He turned his attention to Robert, who he couldn't find in the air. He jumped back on his broom and went searching for the other boy.

"Where are you?" he called up when he was pretty high up.

Robert Raiyn - June 18, 2008 12:48 AM (GMT)
"Right here..." called out Robert, whom was all the way over to the left.

"Sorry bout that, it's one thing to embarass myself in front of another guy, but to do it in front of a girl I likes sister? Yeah, not for me..."

He would then scratch his head before mounting his broom and looking up at AJ flying high in the air.

"Still want to see me make an attempt at this? Well, here it goes then..."

Robert mounted his broom and pointed it upwards, as he did it jerked forward however he made sure to hold on tightly enough so as to not be thrown off this time. He then made a quick left and tried to ascend to where AJ was, but to little success as the broom veered right instead of taking him straight up in the air - how frustrating.

AJ Vitcav - June 18, 2008 01:00 AM (GMT)
AJ watched. He figured this kid was hopeless. He flew around, watching Robert jerk around.

"Keep trying." he said, trying to think of a lie to get away from the pitch.

"I need to go tutor someone in Transfiguration. I'll meet you in the common room later?"

With that he was off.
