Felicity came flouncing onto the pitch, Bludger bat in one hand and broom in the other. She was excited not just for the tryouts, but also to see what everyone else was bringing to the table. She bounced on the balls of her feet while she waited for Professor Adara to finish her explanation. She nodded to Jan, hoping that he would make it onto Slytherin's team so that they'd be able to play a real game against each other. She didn't have any doubts that he would—she had seen how he'd played over the summer and knew he'd have no issues. Even with a little snowstorm.
She kicked off of the ground on her broom and made her way over to the beater's area. Through the snow it would be more difficult for her to aim where she was hitting, but she knew she'd have no problem spotting the Bludg—
WHOOSH!
She dodged just out of the way as a Bludger flew right past her, doing a barrel roll with her broom. She whipped around so she could watch as it looped back to try and hit her again. The targets were behind her, now, so there was no use in trying to hit it back in the direction she was facing. So instead she played chicken—the ball got closer, closer, she readied her bat, and—! She flipped the tail end of her broom to the side, effectively sidestepping it in midair, and struck the ball as it whizzed past her. The momentum of the Bludger sent it rocketing forwards, and since she wasn't quite facing the targets when she struck, she only hit it in the general direction of where she knew one was. And still, she was able to strike one on the outside edge with enough force to make it shudder. She twirled her bat as she swooped forward to chase down some more Bludgers. |
