Welcome to Gaia! ::

spaceEcho sighed, relieved that at least they weren't trying to hit the balls at each other, and that they would be relatively safe from injury. He took a bat, mounted his broom, and was off, watching a few of his classmates try before making his own attempt, trying to watch the successes and failures, looking for some hint of what the difference between success and failure was. When his sister tried, he narrowed his eyes, curious. From his vantage point... he didn't think she'd hit the ball hard enough. He wasn't particularly sure if he wanted to really try... if he ended up being better at this than his sister, she might kill him. Beater had been the position she'd originally wanted anyway... still, he had to participate. So, he went for it.

Leonette skipped onto the field with her broom in hand. She was always excited for this class or so It seemed. Today was the day she would learn about Seeker. It was a position she knew David played but it had never really interested her personally. She just wasn't the seeking type of girl. She looked over at Theo when Professor Price asked the question figuring he of all people would be the first. He'd tried out for the position when they first came to Hogwarts so it seemed logical. However he didn't in fact it was Claire who answered the Professor's question.

Thinking about what Claire had said Leonette decided to add to it. "Because the snitch is worth so much in most cases that team usually wins the game." she said with a smile. To be honest Leonette didn't think there was anything to add it just hit her suddenly when she really thought about it. Well at least she was participating right?

Landon listened to his class nodding at Claire and Leonette's answers. "Yes you are correct Miss Alexandrie 10 points to Slytherin, and you as well Miss Mitchell 5 points to Gryffindor." he said knowing he should have expected that they knew the answer. It was an obvious one that much he knew. However he couldn't help but wonder why Theo didn't shout out an answer. From what he understood didn't that boy tryout for Seeker a couple years back? He probably was having the case of disappoint at not being good on the first go. Pushing the thought aside Landon made it his mission to figure that out later.

"Now this is the golden snitch as you probably all know from playing or watching the game." he said taking out the golden ball and holding it between his fingers showing it around. "Your task today is to find and catch it. Now, I don't expect you to all be expert Seekers just do your best. So as long as you try you'll be given credit for your effort." Landon told them. "So go get on your brooms and have fun." he added as he let go of the snitch and let it fly off.

OOC: Same rules as Quidditch 19+ to spot, 22+ to catch.

Landon was excited for this lesson. Why? Because he was teaching his third years how to play the position he grew up playing. When they came in he went straight to it a smile beaming on his face. "Hello class today I have two positions we're going to be covering Chaser, and Keeper. Why put the two together, well I figure since they are largely related to one another it's only fitting." he explained.

"Now who can tell me about either position? Any takers?" Landon asked curiously. You could tell that he was overly enthusiastic about this lecture today. Almost makes you wonder if he played on of the positions they were discussing. Either way Landon was the happiest he'd ever been teaching his class.

Status: Time for one of my favourite lessons
With: my third year class

OOC: Same rules as Quidditch get a higher dice roll to score / save and roll higher then a players AC to steal.

Lexine walked quietly onto the pitch, just happy to be there. Advanced Flying II was most likely going to be just as fun as the first class was, plus she would be learning all the different parts of Quidditch. It was going to be interesting, after all Lexine had never played anything but Seeker and didn't exactly have the build to play much else. Either way, at least she'd know how to play if she didn't get the Seeker spot. She greeted Professor Price with a smile as she walked onto the pitch. She stood quietly waiting for the lesson to start.

When everyone made it to the pitch the professor started. The first place they'd be learning about was Beater. Lexine thought a bit, she didn't know much about the position. She thought a bit before raising her hand. "There's always two Beaters on a team..." Lexine said quietly, not knowing what else to say.

Again, why was Yvonne in a class that she didn't need? She didn't play quidditch, and didn't plan to for all her life. Perhaps that "advanced" title got to her. Though, sadly, as a non-player, it might hurt her, since she lacked the experience with quidditch that her peers have. Though, on the other hand, it might not matter, because the professor just said that they would go over all four positions. This meant that, perhaps, a rising star beater might make the world's worst seeker. Yvonne could only hope.

At least she would try her best to outshine her colleagues. "Beaters need great physical arm strength to hit bludgers." She was just randomly guessing: since beaters had to swing bats around and aim an iron ore with a tremendous amount of momentum at moving targets, it was rather nonsensical to say otherwise.
