Aleksandra walked down to the Pitch with her new broom over her shoulder. She walked out to the middle of the pitch and placed her broom on the ground and looked around at the pitch. She gazed at the three goal posts on either end of it, then at the stands. She looked up at the castle and saw a few figures emerge and start walking down towards the pitch.
She slowly began walking over to the shed where the Quaffle, bludgers, and snitch were kept. She tugged the box out into the open and struggled picking it up. She was strong, but the box was heavy. She began shuffling her feet back towards her broom, slowly. She doubted she would be standing next to her broom when the people joined her down at the Pitch.

No words could be used to describe the bored mess that had been Hailie Pucey that morning. Therefore, there she was sitting in the stands, wearing her usual rather odd outfit of an overly-bright blue shirt, and an insane ruffled skirt as she sat there on the stands at the Quidditch pitch. Why was she there? No clue. After all, she could barely stay on a broom for her life, let alone play for the team... or at all, for that matter, although she supposed flying itself was fun enough.
"Hi, Aleksandra!" she greeted, grinning broadly and waving over at Aleksandra madly as she skipped her way to a seat there. This would be interesting enough. She honestly didn't get Quidditch, but it was fun enough to watch and - you never knew - someone might even perhaps fall off their broom and have an injury, and then they'd have to be the ones to end up in the hospital wing.
Unlike Hailie, of course, who ended up there every week or so anyways for careless activity - normally skipping down steep hills with people in her way, although that usually led to a... less-than-happy crowd of people all glaring at her. She grinned at the thought, waving still, and now humming a tune to herself... a tune that she couldn't remember very well, meaning that she was making it up as she went. [/size]

Tanner was rushing. He was late, yet again, for Quidditch practice. His quidditch robes were lazily thrown over his body, his broom in hand. He was currently sprinting his way down the stairs to the Grounds of Hogwarts, praying to whoever was in the sky; that Aleksandra wouldn't kick his ass completely for being late. He nearly tripped at the bottom of the stairs, but caught himself gracefully in time. He jogged the rest of the way to the Quidditch Pitch and began walking as he hit the turf. He took in a deep breath and ran a hand through his light brown, stubby hair; of which was begining to grow out slightly. He made his way to Aleksandra, trying to think up a good excuse for being late. She was the Captain, afterall, and she had the power to bump him off the team or from an upcoming game. As he looked around, though, he realized most of the team was absent. So, smiling the sexy grin that was his own, he dropped his broom carefully and moved to Aleksandra's side. "'Lo, Captain,"

Aleksandra smiled as Hallie walked past her." Hey Hallie! She said and still struggled with the heavy box. She walked a few more feet, but was still about 10 feet away from her broom. She heard a familiar voice from behind her. She turned her head and saw Tanner. " 'Ello Seeker." She said. You could still hear her accent slightly; she hated her accent sometimes. She began walking a few more feet, hoping someone would offer to help her carry this huge, heavy box.

"Hi!" Hailie exclaimed once again, beaming and then looking down at the box, her voice still strained at a rather loud volume as she yelled down to Aleksandra. Perhaps she should help? Alright, heck, why not?
"Do you need help with that box?" she asked, calling down and grinning still. She clambered over the backs of several seats, before falling onto the dirt of the ground, giggling to herself and then getting up and dusting herself off. "Well, anyways - do you? Because like, I needed something to do and so I went outside but there was nothing happening and then I heard this one kid saying, 'So like, there's a Hufflepuff Quidditch practice today', and the I was like, 'Oh my gosh, that's so cool', so then I came out here and here I am!"
She nodded several times, trying to catch her breath as she beamed at Aleksandra - and Tanner, for that matter, although being Hailie, she... probably didn't know who he was. "Hi!" she greeted anyways, giving him a wave as well, grin stuck on her face. [/size]

Tanner smiled and then eyed her and the box. He looked up, lips parted, to see another blonde. He waved back in hello, then place his arm infront of Hailie, "Nah, she doesn't need help. The team captain can surely carry the box on her own," he said, nodding with a smirk towards Aleksandra and moving beside Hailie, placing his hand on her shoulder. Oh, how lovely Tanner was. Of course, he was a gentleman; to Hailie. But since he knew Aleksandra well and she knew he was only playing to see her miserable, he loved to mess with her. Plus, he was just in that mood. "Go on, Captain, dear. Show off those muscles!" he exclaimed with a smirk to Aleksandra, then turned to Hailie with a serious expression, "Aleksandra wants to be a bodybuilder one day,"

Aleksandra smiled, but shook her head no." Nah, I don't need any help. I can carry it all by myself." She said and looked at Tanner, smirking. "And yes, I do plan on being a bodybuilder one day, then I can pay Tanner back for all the times he has made me carry this heavy box by myself." She said when she finally put the box down. She grabbed her broom and looked around, noticing eveyrone there." Ok, we shall begin." She said and jumped on her broom. She zoomed aorund the pitch and floated back down to the ground. She let the bludgers go and then the snitch. She grabbed the quaffle and flew to the sky." Ok, Everyone should be where they should be...NOW!" She shouted.

Tanner puffed his cheeks for a moment, then shook his head a tad, mounting his broom. That's right. He MOUNTED his broom. Ahem. He rose to the air quickly, taking directions from the lovely Hufflepuff Captain. He rose above all the other players on the team, right where a seeker was supposed to be. The seekers, you see, had to float higher than the rest while starting. The Snitch normally liked to start our high in the air, thus it gave them both a fair chance to snatch it. He watched as the Snitch flapped quickly around his head, scowling at his for a moment. He stopped, though, and smiled, not wanting the Snitch to, like, get mad at him. Because then that wouldn't be very nice, you know? Yeah. He watched the curly hair of the Captain, awaiting the sound of a whistle or something to know their practice had started.

Aleksandra rose higher in the sky and shouted orders," Ok, The other two chasers need to try to et the quaffle from each other and try and score, act as if yall are on opposite teams, BUT NO DOT harm each other or whoever harms someone will be sitting out of the next 3 games. The keeper shall keep. The Beaters need to hit the ball back and forth and try to aim it at people, but the other one MUST stop it. I shall be playing as an opposite seeker to make Tanner work harder. Also Tanner you shall be in charge of putting the balls up when we are done practing." She said. She watched the players scramble into position. She flew to the other end of the pitch and then blew the whistle. She circled the pitch looking for the Snitch.

"Should I polish your shoes, too, Ma'am," Tanner asled sarcastically with a chuckle to Aleksandra, running a hand through his short, soft strands of hair. He knew Aleksandra was a good seeker, just as he was. She may have even been better. Thus, it would be a challenge. Tanner was all competition. He knew how to win and he wanted to win. When he was determined like now, he normally got what he wanted. He wasn't about to let the female captain of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team get that Snitch. He watched a minute as everyone began doing as they had been ordered, and ducked when a blugger came his way. He had to duck for the second time as the other Beater smacked it back. He sighed, but smiled, and then turned to Aleksandra with a smirk. "Ready, girlie?"

Aleksandra smiled," Well, I was gonna get a different gy to polish my shoes, but since you asked, you may." She said. She knew that Tanner was playing. She looked arond and then said," Yea, I'm ready...ready to win." She said and saw a glint of gold far below them. She was very competitive and she knew Tanner was,too. She dived and followed the Snitch.

Tanner dove with her, getting just a tad in front of her keeping his eyes on the flash of gold that would most certainly be the Snitch. He knited his eyebrows in concentration, going up just as the Snitch had, carefully ducking out of the path off a blugger. The Snitch was playing with them, almost like follow the leader. It zig-zagged and went up and down, impossible to catch when following. Yeah, well, Tanner could do the impossible; and he had on countless occations. Yeah, Tanner was gorgeous and competitive. But one thing he dind't do was downsize Aleksandra on her talent like most guys would have done, just because she was a girl. He knew how good she was; how challenging. Not only did he like it, he was attracted to it. Yeah, if Jake knew, Tanner'd be lying in a dumpster somewhere.

Aleksandra cold keep up with Tanner very well, as he could keep up with her as well. She knew they only way to get the Snitch was to play as the Slytherins do. She yelled," Sorry about this." Then she swung her broom into Tanner's and slowed him down a bit. She continued flying after the snitch. She felt bad for playing the game as the Slytherins do, but she knew it would help Tanner.

Tanner felt the impact of her hitting his broom. Indeed, she was strong. He stumbled a bit, but them gripped his broom and glared, even more determined now. He zoomed towards the glimpse snitch as fast as he could will his broom to go and followed it again as it dove down close to the turf of the pitch. He snickered a tad as a blugger barely missed Aleksandra's head, "Watch it, girlie. Don't want to screw up your brain there, hm?"
ooc| I have, like, no inspiration right now D:

"Ahh, it will be ok." She said and again swung her broom into his. She sped the broom up as much as she could and smirked. She saw the keeper keep the quaffle from going through the goal post. She smiled. She had a good team and they always worked hard. She looked back to make sure Tanner was ok. He was, so she sped up again. She stretched out her hand and almost had the snitch, but a bludger threatened to hit her arm, so she pulled it back towards the broom.
OOC: It's ok.
