 Kayla Calrissian-Carter, Gryffindor Seeker Dem Carters | even 🕊🕊 have pride | | Expecto PAWtronum 🐈 | U-NA-GI
She approached the Quidditch pitch with one of the school brooms slung over her shoulder, as both of her parents had agreed (ha, Ronan Carter and Sterling Archer Calrissian-Washington actually agreeing on something!) that she could only have a broom if she made the house Quidditch team. She didn’t exactly get why; she could be responsible. When she wanted to be. But they were afraid somehow that dragging a broom to Hogwarts would be too much. So anyway, here Kayla was with aforementioned school broom, hair pulled back into a high ponytail, wearing black leggings, a concert tee, and white athletic sneakers on her feet listening to Coach Springer explain what they were supposed to be doing.
An obstacle course? Hmm…this could be fun. She didn’t quite get how this was supposed to test for seeking skills, though. Oh well, it was what it was.
Kayla mounted the broom and took off from the starting plate, achieving the right height rather quickly considering she was on a school broom and headed right towards the hoops first. Hoop number one was stationary and she flew through quite easily. The second, however, was a bit more of a challenge since it kept moving up and down whenever she tried to go near it. First try, ring goes upwards. Second try, ring goes downwards. Third try and she was right in the middle of going through, but the dang ring decided to go up again and crashed right into her broom! She was briefly stuck with her foot on the underside of the ring, but with one good kick, she freed herself and sent the ring flying quite far to boot! It was after that she decided to switch gears and try the slalom poles. The Gryffindor sped quite easily through these, feeling like one of those professional skiers she’d sometimes catch glimpses of when Jordan was flipping through the channels.
Feeling extremely confident now, Kayla flew her way over to the over and under bars, where she just avoided a collision with a quaffle by using the sloth grip roll. After up righting from that, she flew over the first bar, catching the next quaffle and tossing it over her shoulder at the bar behind her. Next bar, she flew under, tossing the caught quaffle over her shoulder again, hearing a whack as it hit the bar behind her. Third bar she went over, but the quaffle was too fast for her catch and in fact would’ve hit her in the head if hadn’t done another sloth grip roll. And the last bar was coming up too quickly for her to right herself, so she simply flew under it, smoothly catching the quaffle as she did so. After she righted herself, Kayla turned to face the final bar and tossed the quaffle at it as if it were a basketball hoop before flying to the touch plate and landing with the broom’s tail firmly on the plate.
