I'm fly, the original
I'm sly, unpredictable

And I don't even try

Jess smiled, and then dove for the quaffle. If she could catch a snitch she could catch a quaffle, right? And Toby was stuck being Keeper... heh.

Haha! A gleam of shining teeth widened as his fingers curled around the ball. He curled around and flew in the opposite direction, hoping to cross the distance with ease. Toby was guarding the goal posts and he sped like a bullet in his direction.






[OOC: I wasn’t sure who’s keeping for who, but I figured it would make sense that Dimi tried to score on Toby while Jess has to score on Ronna so Weezy isn’t left playing against herself, so I hope it’s okay if I did that and that makes sense.]

spaceGypsy had to admit, she was actually sort of excited about this particular class. Advanced Flying 1 was really just a formality, but this one... this was the one she needed. Because like she'd said in the first class, Vice Captains were not allowed to suck. So, this would be a useful lesson, and probably one she'd enjoy a lot more than she had the previous two levels. And, they were starting with the Beater position, which she was excited to hear. She'd originally wanted to try out for Beater, after all, but the team hadn't needed one... until like a week later when one of their Beaters... died? Which was sad of course but also incredibly annoying because she was already on the team as a Chaser. But, their vet Beater Verily would be graduating, and they would need a replacement... and sure, there were plenty of Beaters, but after taking this class and learning the ropes, Gypsy was pretty sure she'd be a better choice for the position at that point. And besides, she totally sucked as a Chaser. Maybe she'd be a better fit as a Beater. She glanced around the group, feeling only slightly less awkward here than in AF2, if only because at least she knew Elsie and Tanya. They were Echo's friends, but whatever. Tanya was cool, at least. Elsie... might be cool. She didn't know the girl very well. The fourth year smiled widely and raised her hand. "The Beater position is very important for the team because they have the ability to knock opposing players out of commission for the rest of the game. A Beater can take out a team's first string Seeker and leave them at a disadvantage, or take out their Keeper to ensure there's no one to keep their Chasers from scoring." Gypsy was personally all over that. Knocking other players out so that her team had a better chance at scoring? Best idea ever. Which was odd, because really, one would think she'd rather be the star player... but being Seeker sounded exhausting to be honest. She'd much rather spend the game hitting balls at people than looking around for one tiny little thing... even if it would win the game.

spaceEcho wasn't particularly happy to hear they were starting with the Beater lesson for this class. Honestly, he'd like it if he could only come to the lessons that were pertinent to him... specifically the Keeper lesson, although he guessed he would come to the Seeker lesson too. He didn't care for this one, though. He was already envisioning all the various ways he was probably going to die today. It wasn't pretty. But, he was stuck here... so he'd have to make the best of it. When the other students began describing the position, he just listened; Tanya and Elsie and Leonette really had it covered. Gypsy's addition was... well, not pointless, but it did sort of go without saying, right? Ah, well. He'd be out of here soon enough... hopefully with all his bones in tact.

Landon was impressed with the knowledge his third years had on the position of Beater. He never doubted them though he knew this year most would probably be drawn to other things but you never know. “Nice team work you four, 5 point to each of you.” He told them. That was a grand total of 5 points for both Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff and 10 points for Gryffindor.

“Now I’m sure you don’t want to just sit and listen to one giant lecture on how playing Beater works. Besides I find the best way to learn is to try it for yourself.” Landon told them with a small smirk. “So today I’m giving you a change to try it out for yourselves. For those who already know how to play Beater think of this as practice I promise our next topic will be something you’ve never done less you’ve played any other position.” He said knowing it would be boring for those who already knew but they could at least help their classmates if they wanted too.

Landon then handed out the Beater bats and brooms to anyone who needed them. “Now before I release the bludgers on you I’m going to explain how this works. Line the Beater bat up with the incoming bludger and give a good swing at an angle that will get it to go in the direction you want it to go.” He explained. “You are all aiming at those targets there so good luck and most importantly have fun. As mentioned before with playing Beater you take a big risk of being hit but don’t worry if that happens I’ll be casting the softening charm to insure you don’t get injured during class.” Landon assured them hoping they’d go out there and just have some fun.

Leonette smiled feeling as if she got back the points she lost during the week for her talking in History. Truthfully she'd never thought about playing Beater but it looked interesting. "Alright I'm going to try this." she told herself as she grabbed a bat. Watching the bludgers she waited for one and let her bat swing. What was the worst that could happen beside what had just happened with Claire moments ago?
