Training Grounds

Training Grounds

The three hoops.

A bird's-eye view of the training grounds.

They look rather forlorn, three big poles sticking into the ground, each supporting half a hoop. Thanks to some long-forgotten sporting accident, or backfiring jinx, or whatever, the playing area for Quidditch practice is — incomplete. Still, you can come out here and throw a Quaffle around with your mates, can't you? Or maybe see if you can't work out one of those Muggle sports. I mean, that basketball's supposed to need tall hoops and, well, baskets, isn't it?

Roleplay

Phee

Phee Gryffindor Sixth Year -Smarter to be lucky than lucky to be smart.  – 22:45, September 7, 2017 (UTC) *He hasn't been on a broom in ... Wow, he can't actually remember the last time, and his ascent is - wobbly, to say the least.*

Emma and anyone

Emma Schöneberger - alone - slytherin first year - werewolf -"don't care what you say to me, i'mma bite you feelings out" Message Me – 03:38, August 22, 2017 (UTC) Why she was here was beyond her, really. Either that or she forgot why. Regardless, she bears the expression of someone who's just not in a mood to approach anyone, whatsoever. And it's with just cause; family chaos really. Her cousin had a one night stand and well... let's just say that Emma did not take the news well. Torn between the fact that she'll have a relative beyond Ebba... it really troubled her to a point where she just wants to avoid anyone and everyone.

Kevin and Brynja

Brynja Skovgaard - Ravenclaw Graduate ✦ In The Midnight Hour -"Through dark and light I fight to be, so close, shadows and lies mask you from me." Message Me – 23:19, July 23, 2017 (UTC) Brynja notices Kevin when she zips past him pursuing a Snitch - she snatches it out of the air and pockets it before flying back over to him. "Practicing for tryouts?" she asks, with a smile. "I'd offer to chuck some Quaffles at you but it's not really my forte."

Brynja Skovgaard - Ravenclaw Graduate ✦ In The Midnight Hour -"Through dark and light I fight to be, so close, shadows and lies mask you from me." Message Me – 23:25, July 23, 2017 (UTC) She notices she's startled him and grins apologetically. "Unfortunately for your team, that much is guaranteed," she chuckles, hoping he doesn't think it's her ego talking. She doubts herself too much to have an ego.

Brynja Skovgaard - Ravenclaw Graduate ✦ In The Midnight Hour -"Through dark and light I fight to be, so close, shadows and lies mask you from me." Message Me – 23:35, July 23, 2017 (UTC) "That's not hard with the state of them last season," she jests - she'd never insult Tori and Mason like that. She reaches into the pocket that she didn't put the Snitch in and produces the blue captain's badge from it, and grins. "You were right - you told me I'd get it."

Brynja Skovgaard - Ravenclaw Graduate ✦ In The Midnight Hour -"Through dark and light I fight to be, so close, shadows and lies mask you from me." Message Me – 23:50, July 23, 2017 (UTC) "You've been telling her the future to tell us this whole time," Brynja says through her laughter; her cheeks are dusted with pink when she's done. "Thanks, Kevin. I bet you'll be a shoe-in for Keeper. Are you gonna try and charm a Quaffle to fly at you or do you need a shitty Chaser to Keep against? Because I can try...and fail," she adds as an afterthought.
