The Quidditch Pitch. It's lush grass, tall groaning stadium seats, and looming goalpasts surrounded Ezra. She pulled her hoodie closer around her as she walked, the crisp fall air stinging her cheeks. The Pitch was empty, save for a few students walking through it to get to wherever they needed to be. Ezra walked onto the Pitch with determination.
After finding a decent spot to liftoff from, she mounted her broom, and hovered while she put gloves on and convinced herself that things would go according to plan.
"Okay. come on Ezra. Focus. Just keep your focus and everything will go perfectly." She went over in her head. She had been trying to do a maneuver she had created. The problem was, she didn't get more than halfway before accidentally launching herself off her broom. Minor setbacks of course. Naturally none of this phased her, she simply pulled herself out of the dirt and would try again. This would be day two of her practice.
Ezra wasn't precisely sure what she was practicing for, given she hadn't been able to try out for her house team this years. Blasted Mumblemumps. She fought against the nurse tooth and nail to let her go to tryouts. She wound up strapped to the bed and scolded to rest. The whole ordeal still left a resonance of irritation and defeat that Ezra wasn't too happy about. But never the less, she was bored and this was killing time as well as keeping her entertained (if not a little bruised).
It wasn't long until she was swerving and spinning through the air, flipping and twisting in rather odd angles. It took only minutes before she was back into the groove. Flying a broomstick came as naturally to her as breathing. Face beaming with happiness she whizzed through the air, speeding towards the ground to touch the grass before storming right back up again. She had missed flying as though it were an old friend.
Speaking of friends, she hadn't realized she was sharing the sky until it was too late. Before she knew what was happening, she collided with a rather large bird. Feathers flew as the bird squawked unhappily, regaining its flight path and zooming off in a huff. Ezra however, was not as lucky. Her broom went out of whack, wobbling crazily and drove her straight to the ground. Quite quickly she might add. To someone on the ground, all they would have seen was the collision and a girl having a rather loud argument with her broom as it sent her to the ground.
The tip of her broom touched ground and sent her tumbling head over feet. After about three or four tumbles, she landed flat on her back. Admitting defeat to herself, she simply stayed there, catching her breath. "Ridiculous bird...blasted broom... Ughh..." She groaned, blaming the bird for the disaster, instead of her getting lost in the thrill. She looked completely silly, arms sprawled out in a mock snow angel stance, jeans freckled with dirt and bits of grass.
Ezra lay there, her broom only feet away, staring up at the sky. Atleast, thats what she was doing until someone loomed into her line of sight...
