Hogwarts RPG Name: Maximus O. Vindictus III First Year | The Broomshed No Touchy! ♥ demented_teacher The Broomshed The Broomshed is a place where the Hogwarts school brooms are stored when not being used by students participating in Flying Class or Quidditch. The shed is located one hundred yards from the Quidditch Pitch and appears to be on the verge of collapse to the untrained eye. Carefully open the door that miraculously hangs on rusted hinges and inside you'll find the broomsticks hanging from the ceiling and leaning up against the walls. Select your broomstick with care before heading out to class and return it to it's resting place when class is over. At the center of the room is a large wooden table surrounded by benches - take care not to get any splinters if you decide to take a seat while tuning up your broom! Basic Broomshed Rules: 1. RP your character getting a broom for class/returning a broom/caring for a broom, etc. Please be aware that there are no Firebolts in the shed. 2. Broomsticks in here are for Flying Class and Quidditch uses only. If your character sneaks in to take a broom for a flight by the lake or on other areas of school grounds, expect a loss of House Points and/or Detention. This rule also applies to playing with Quidditch equipment on school grounds or in the Castle itself. Remember - Quidditch only happens in the team/lesson threads and Flying only happens in the specified threads of this subforum. 3. The Broomshed is not a place for public displays of affection (PDA) - violators will lose House Points and gain a date in the Dungeons (aka, Detention). 4. Observe SS Board Rules at all times. 5. Have fun!

A bit jaded and a bit tired, Miranda slowly pushed the door open and was instantly hit with the... unique smell of the broomshed. Yes, this place was perfect for some distraction.
She carefully closed the door behind her, this shed looked pretty fragile even though it wasn't, but Miranda didn't want to take any chances. Heh. Walking towards the brooms, she selected the one that looked the most worned, ragged and...used.
Grabbing the broom, she grabbed a servicing kit and sat down on the bench, starting with the tail twigs.

He gave Miranda a warm smile, then eyed her broom. “Nice choice of broom.” he teased her lightly then set about selecting one for himself. "Use that during matches and I'll be happy." *Grin*
He eyed his friend out the corner of his eye as he selected a broom and turned and looked at her. “You ok? You look... a bit rough.” Yeah.. tactful. But in his defence he was going to say something about her frizzy hair and looking like she'd been attacked by a Mountain Troll so his skillz with tact were improving. hehe!

With her tounge between her teeth and a squint of concentration, Miranda was cutting the tail twigs when suddenly heard a voice. A voice she knew very well. She was startled though and jerked in her seat. Sheeses! It had been quiet in here and now she was trying to slow down her heartbeat. Ugh... She totally remembered why she had hidden in here for.
But his comment made her wrinkle her nose. Rough? Pffft. She tried to pat her haird down as casual as possible. But, meh! Since when did she care about her looks. "Thanks." Sarcasm. "I'm...fine. Why?" She didn't look THAT tired, did she? "H-how are things with you? Fitting perfectly as a leader, I assume?" She could see he was an awesome Captain. It was rather cool.

Oops! He didn't meant to startle the girl. Clearly his shiftiness as a Slytherin a literal thing as well as... mental? Erm. Mental. That wasn't the right word. Snicker.
He grabbed a broom, not really taking any notice of it's condition and took a seat on the bench next to Miranda. Was she hiding? He hadn't seen her for aaaages. Oh and the sarcasm was not lost on him either being the king of it. Heh. "Sorry." He mumbled. "All I meant is you're not your usual spritely self." He crinkled his nose as he looked at her. Having a scrap with a troll was an understatement. "You didn't come in here to be alone, did you?" Cos he would leave if she did... although he did like to think that she would confide in him if there was something going on, even if were just a touch of the blues.
He smiled warmly when she enquired after him and had to chuckle about her comment at his leadership skillz. He shrugged. "Of course." He said in his usual totally un-modest way. "You know me." Wink. "Hows the Rodent tryouts going?" He asked her with interest. And no, he wasn't after inside information, he was asking as a friend.

She more felt than saw him sit down next to her, keeping her eyes oh the twigs and the little clipper in her hands. She frowned slightly at his apology, and even more so when he continued to talk. Not your ususual...Heh. She was too tired to be bouncing off the walls...maybe some more chocolate could be good. "Oh, I'm just tired. It's hard being a sixth year." Miranda smiled/grimaced, throwing Oliver a glance before looking down at her broom again. If it was true, why didn't he look as crappy as she did?
His next question made her look up again. "No..." Had she come in here to be alone? Not really, though the fact that this place was empty had been a plus. Or maybe not. Distraction, that's what she was looking for. "No." She smiled for a short moment. "Why are you here?" She was curious. Like, y'know.
She couldn't help but chuckle softly and roll her eyes. Confident boy. Hehe. "Glad to hear that." She really was. "Oh, they're going well." Nod nod. "Not that many people hogging the ball. Though I did have one that was squealing all the time." Hehe. "How are the Slytherins? They haven't said anything about cancelling Quidditch, right!?" Hah! Like you could cancel it. Pfffffffft.

Oliver crinkled his nose. Pffft. Miranda seemed far more interested in her broom than him. Like, really.. this was OLIVER! Ya know, her best mate? He screwed up his face but his expression smoothed out at her words. 'Hard being a sixth year?' NEWTs next year... yeah it was - and Quidditch didn't help. How Miranda got through last year with being Captain and then the business of the curse when they were in their OWLs year was beyond the Slytherin boy. He patted her arm and turned over his broom to inspect the twigs. “Yeah well take it easy, 'kay? I don't want you having a breakdown before we even get the chance to face each other on the pitch.” Snort.
He shrugged at her question. He supposed he had come in here to hide too. A certain Gryffindor boy was stressing him out and Oliver was a little worried about his own actions if the kid continued to be so aggressive. “Just fancied a bit of quiet.” He replied with a smile. Unusual for Oliver, yeah.
Heh.. the Huffie tryouts sounded a little like Slytherins.. except for the squealing. That was just odd. He looked at Miranda clearly puzzled by this. “Who was squealing?” He asked confused.. or was she talking about the ball? heh - Weirdness. “Good.” he replied with a nod. “They just need to learn to defend a bit better.” Having the whole team on the attack was pretty chaotic... not to mention stressful for the new Captain. He shook his head. “Nah.. not since the meeting we had with Truebridge. But some of the new Slytherins are completely crrrrazy.” He said pulling a face. “The way they talk back to the professors. Seriously, if you acted up like that at Durmstrang they would make sure you never repeated it. Ever.” Shudder.

Seriously, if you acted up like that at Durmstrang they would make sure you never repeated it. Ever.” Shudder. Miranda's concentration had returned to the worn broomstick, but when Oliver made to pat her on the arm, she flinched slightly and then almost grimaced at her own reaction. Craaaaaaaap. "Uhm, yeah-" Errrrrrr. Was he refering to her little 'thing' last term? Pffft. She stuck her tounge out at him and made a ' ha-ha, funny' face.
Oh, he wanted some quiet. Yes...it was nice. Sometimes. She glanced up at Oliver, wondering why he would want to seek out a tranquil place. "Everything allright?" She asked softly, but soon turned towards her twigs again. The damned image of him in the arena..
Ugh, it somehow felt wrong sitting here with the boy, after the nightmare from last night, she was sort of trying to avoid anything that reminded her about it. Even herself. And it was difficult to do that now. Huh? Squealing? "Oh...a boy." No names. Hehe. "He seemed pretty excited... Just hope he wouldn't do that during a game. Could get quite annoying." She smirked a little.
Defend, ey? Gosh she missed Aaron. That ickle boy, and awesome Keeper. And there hadn't been any more threats about the 'no-Quidditch' debacle. "Oh, that's good to hear. Would have been horrrrrible to not get a chance to beat you guys." Hehe, and SMIRK. And the new Slytherins WERE weird. The Durmstrang mention made Miranda make a face and look at Oliver. "Good thing we're not there, ey?" Bleh.

Urm.. what was with the flinching? Oliver turned his head and eyed Miranda with a frown on his face. Yeah.. she seemed just fine. “Someone's a bit jumpy.” He said still looking at her. Oh CRAP! She didn't think that was a dig about her.. er.. moment last term did she!? Errrr... He gave her an apologetic look. “I didn't mean... “ Sigh. “Look sorry.. that was insensitive.” 'Seriously it was, Oliverrrr! Idiot.' “You sure you're ok? This is me... you can talk to me about anything, Miranda.” Cos the jumpiness and then the grimacing was rather disconcerting.
He merely nodded to her question not wanting to get into all that – yeah, he was a hypocrite – but it was too complicated and kind of embarrassing. Meh.
He chuckled at the image of a boy squealing whilst playing Quidditch. Huffies were a strange breed. Hehe. “You never know, could be a good tactic to put the other team off.” he teased.
Oh she was doing the whole 'I'm going to kick your butt on the pitch' thing was she? Oliver merely smirked at her. He wasn't going to get into that. It was like jinxing the game to say stuff like that. She was smirking? When did sweet Miranda become so much like him? Not good.. not good at all. “Badgers on brooms..” He mock shuddered. “I'm quaking in my boots.” And he was.. a bit.. but Miranda didn't need to know that.
Durmstrang. Bleugh. He shook his head. Nope – he was waaaay happier at Hogwarts.

Jumpy? "I-I'm not jumpy!" Cue akward laugh. She looked away from the boy again, down to the twigs again ofcourse. Twigs. They had an easy life, hehehe. Ugh, and now he was apologizing. She'd rather just forget about that very...weak moment. Like really. "It's fine, Oliver. Really." With a look his way, she gave him a small smile...and then returned to the twigs.
Talk to him, uhm, no, she didn't think she could. Not about this. "I'm fiiine. Just trying to get this..." Tugging at twig. "...frickin twig to not...bend." Ah, flarp it, it would have to go! She snipped it off. There. Done. "Thank the Quidditch Gods for clippers. Eh?"
Ah, well that wasn't a surprise. Oliver didn't want to talk either. Sigh. "Yeah, you can talk to me about anything too." ...and all that. Heh. Would he ever?
A good tactic. "Yeah, could be. Or have the opposite effect. Drive the Captain nuts." Oh noes. "Vindictus might get so annoyed as to fine us for trying to distract the players." She was, ofcourse, joking, but had a serious face. Who knows, the Professor might do that. Hehe.
Hah. Yeah, he looked like he was quaking. Not. "Nervous about your first game?" She asked casually, now turning the broom over and cleaning her hands on a towel.

Clearly Oliver wasn't going to get anything more than denials out of Miranda. Still, he was a hypocrite if he argued.. but he was a boy – he'd been taught not to talk about stuff; girls were allowed to cry and moan and bend their best mate's ear. Miranda was just faaaar too much like himself.
Back to the twigs she went and Oliver looked away himself, focusing on his broom. CLIP! Off came an old bent twig. “Be quite good doing this as a job.” He said changing the subject because that was obviously what his friend wanted. “Servicing brooms I mean. Imagine doing this for the major Quidditch teams.” Woah.. that would actually be a really amazing job. “You got any idea what you want to do when you leave this place?” They had less than two years left – it was a painful thought indeed.
He nodded. He knew he could talk to Miranda. He gave her a small smile and nodded. “Some Gryffindor.” he muttered. “He thinks his girlfriend 'likes' me.” He balanced the broom between his legs so he could do inverted commas when he said 'likes' – Surely Miranda would know what he meant. Pffft.. and he didn't like her – not in that way. Stoopid Texan. The thought was proposterous.
He laughed about the squealing boy. “Good point.” he grinned. “Could have the beaters on both sides after his butt.” Snort. “Is that even a rule? Distracting the other team. I thought that would have been regarded as good tactics.” ...Especially if you were a shifty Slytherin. Hehe! He made a face and pondered Miranda's next question then nodded and sort of shrugged at the same time as if to say, yeah.. he was nervous but it was no biggie. “Suppose I am a bit.” He admitted as he snipped off another twig. “I've never done anything like this before.” Or never had such responsibility before. “What about you? Still get that rush of adrenaline when you think about it?” He smiled softly at his friend and fellow Captain.

Still get that rush of adrenaline when you think about it?” He smiled softly at his friend and fellow Captain. She was grateful for the change of subject. Had they continued with it she might've...changed it herself. Rudely. Heh. Looking up from her twigs, she gave him a smile and a raised eyebrow. "Clipping twigs? Really?" Hm. It was fun for like a couple of hours, but... "Naaah, I bet you can do something more awesomer." She playfully nudged him in the ribs.
Oh, future stuff. Uhm... "I think...I wan't to be an Auror." She was kinnda positive on that. But there was this Quidditch thing too. "Or, if that's not possible...Chaser for some team? Maybe?" Heh. But ... "How about you? Quidditch? Healer?" He COULD get over his 'silly' fear. Though she was kinnda joking. "Austronaut... How about a...... " Hmmmmmmmmmm... "STUNTMAN." Zomg.
He got hurt almost all the time, not counting when their experienced that stuff together. Snort. She grinned at him, feeling a bit more elated.
But the grin was turned into one more eyebrow raising. "Well...do you?" She looked at him, curious and confused. This whole 'liking' stuff was just not... it was odd. Miranda still didn't get it. Right? Right. "Why does he think you are in love with the girl?" Oh, did he go all Oliver on her? "You showed her your moonwalk, didn't you?" Bahaha! Miranda bit down on her lower lip to keep herself from laughing. Gosh!
Squealing boy! HEhe.
Good tactics? Maybe. "Yeah, but you never know. Better be safe than sorry." Right. "And if it's not for distraction the worry is about, then maybe it's for the sake of the squealer. It can get a bit annoying and maybe someone might want to imagine he's a bludger..." Heh.
Aw, he was nervous. He would be stupid if he wasn't. "Don't worry, you'll do great." She nodded, cleaning off the clippers with the towel. "Yeah, I'm excited." And nervous. She felt weird about the possibility to play against her best friend. Ah, the adrenaline. "Always." Nod nod. It was one of the reasons she still played. "Oh, you're going to love it, Oliver. Flying around, feeling proud of your team. Kicking some butt." She chuckled and looked at him. "You know how your roster's going to look?" Hard choices, for sure.

Oliver snorted and elbowed Miranda back in the same playful way. Well when you put it like that it did sound like a rubbish choice of career. “Not just snipping twigs, doofus.” He said tempted to go all happy slapper on her forehead, but didn't because Miranda really didn't seem in the mood for such shenanigans. “Servicing brooms. You know, making sure they'll be at their best in the skies, free from curses... and of course twig snipping.” He held up his clippers then snipped another twig then smirked at Miranda. He had no idea what he wanted to do when he left Hogwarts. An Auror? Like, woah.. So Oliver's attention was now totally on Miranda. He had no idea she wanted to do that. “That's awesome. I mean.. you would be awesome.” He smiled. She would! "I can totally see you kicking the bad guys butts. ...And we both know you've got a few of the more advanced spells down pat.” He smirked and winked at her. A pro chaser - also awesome. Oliver shrugged when Miranda turned the question back on him. “Dunno.” He mumbled. “Maybe a beater but I don't think I'm good enough to go professional.” *shrug* A healer? Pffft... he gave Miranda a look that clearly said, 'really now, don't be dumb.' The job would be a nightmare. He grinned and chuckled a little at her next suggestion but his eyes widened with childlike awe when she suggested being a stuntman. Like, WOAH! That was the most perfect job EVER! – Getting paid to do cool adrenaline-junkie stuff. “I wonder what qualifications you need.” He said seriously. “You should be a Careers Advisor.” He teased.
It was nice to see Miranda's usual smile back on her face and she appeared to be relaxing more and more as they talked. Good. Oliver hated to see his best mate so low. “Do I what?” He blinked. Wait. NO! That's not what he said. Guh. “Not that I like her... that she likes me.” Jeez – there was a hu-uge difference. “And no I don't.” He added quickly. Like really – just no. He smirked at Miranda's jesting despite the awkward topic of conversation – it sort of helped make it less awkward. “Honestly, if he keeps up this stupid jealous thing every time I just talk to the girl I'm gonna to Langlock the git permanently.” Snicker - Or... there was always the goat's horns option. Heh.
Ah.. Quidditch – now there was a topic of conversation that was never awkward. He laughed at Miranda's black humour and nodded in agreement. “Roster's done. Just awaiting approval.” He said and inwardly grimaced. He was so nervous about it and knew fine well he was being a bit silly feeling this way but just couldn't help it. “What about yours?”

Hogwarts RPG Name: Maximus O. Vindictus III First Year | No Touchy! ♥ demented_teacher
He had a lesson to prepare and Vindictus rolled his eyes as he approached the Broomshed. The door creaked open. "Okay, everyone out! I've gotta lesson to prepare for and you're all in the way!" he announced rather loudly.
It took a few minutes, but the shed was cleared of its student inhabitants, and Vindictus got to work getting the place ready for the first half of the lesson. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
A blackboard hanging precariously on the door of the Broomshed flashes in magicked purple and gold lights the topic of the latest Flying Lesson: Broom Care Essentials & The Pitch Starts: 2 JUN @ 1pm EST Ends: 4 JUN @ 11:59pm EST Supplies Needed: Dragonhide Gloves, Work Robes, Flying Goggles (swimming goggles will suffice)
Inside, worn wooden benches are arranged around two massive work tables that are topped with broom care kits. Leaning against the fireplace is Professor Vindictus who awaits for the students to arrive so that his lesson can begin at the scheduled time.
Come on in and have a seat! Please keep the chatting to a minimum and the lesson will begin promptly in 1 1/2 hours.

Trixie walked into the Broomshed. She was so excited now that she was on the Quidditch team as a reserve and so any extra practice was a bonus really. And so she quietly slipped in and took a seat at the front. She didn't think she'd have to give in her note for her memory probably wasn't required in this lesson. Basically she had to listen a lot and if the professor asked her a question then she'd explain about her bad case of memory loss and hospital visit for a week! She had of course bought all of the equipment, and well because this was Trixie, it was all the best quality and expensive equipment! "Hello Professor" she smiled softly before looking around to see who was here. No one apparently.

| Raspberry Jam | #ChocolateFrogFamous | Ultimate Fangirl Ella forced herself to go to the Flying lesson, although she was still a little peeved that she didn't make the Quidditch team. Well.. whatever. As she walked into the Broomshed, she saw Trixie and approached her. "Hi." She said simply and took a seat. She couldn't wait for this lesson to be over, even if she found flying a ton of fun.

| *randomly tagged* | Norbert(a) | The Wandmaker (tm) Daisy’s work robes were floating gently behind her in the breeze as she walked down to the broom shed. In one of her pockets were her dragon hide gloves and on her head, hiding her bronze hair was an old-fashioned muggle flight cap with matching goggles. She had gotten the odd headgear last year at an old muggle thrift shop with the intention of wearing it to flight lessons this year. Mostly, she had just thought they were neat.
“Greetings Professor,” she called with a wave as she stepped inside the shed. Looks like a nice messy day today. She smiled. There wasn’t anything Daisy liked more then getting a little dirty. Too bad it wasn’t with actual dirt, but that would have to wait for herbology.

Selena walked to the pitch. It was her second lesson. And she was going to definitely fail this class. She was terrible at flying... She had her supplies alright, but she was terrible, why would she want to come back here?

Truebridge Mysteries | Professor Pink | Mrs. Bruce Wayne | I'm on a Goat | Glitterpuff | Dumbledore's Defense Squad | BHB Fletcher.... was not a big fan of neither flying nor quidditch so needless to say, he did not want to attend a class that involved either of these things. Fortunately, today's lesson was about broom care or something where he could keep his feet firmly on the ground.
And so the boy wandered into the broomshed, clutching his gloves in one hand and his goggles in the other. He was prepared, sure. Or at least he hoped he was.

Hehe, Melissa NEEDED to go to this. She did, more flying equalled more Quidditch time equalled more practise. Meh, that didn't make any sense but oh well. She walked into the broomshed. Woah, this place is old and awful. Great what a place for a lesson. "Hello Professor Vindictus," she greeted, it would have been bad not too.

If there was something Jake could do, it was broomcare... and climbing.
But this was a broomcare lesson.
And he was pleased.
Wearing his workrobes, Jake entered, goggles in hand and gloves in his pocket. He wasn't sure why he needed goggles; they never wore them years ago and he felt like an idiot wearing them, which didn't help his confidence. Ah well.
Smiling at Vindictus as he entered, Jake gave the man a slight salute. "Hey sir! Llllong time no sssssee," he said, speech obviously improving but not quite there yet.

| ♥ Mrs. Itachi Uchiha™ & MAJNOO! : Bleach & Kyo & Natsume ♥ [ Maxh!Jesh ] Oh. She felt so distant from Quidditch, right now. Gold had not played it properly, for two years. The last time she had had some real fun with the quaffle, had been earlier this year, with Mr. T. In the summer, actually. But even that had not been a proper match.
She shook her head at the thought, thinking of fencing and duelling and all the other stuff she hadn't let go of at all, and decided she was going to get back into her Quidditch spirit, as soon as possible. She didn't want her skills to get rusty, especially those at chasing.
"Good day, sir."
Taking a seat, the sixth year placed her hands in her lap, and waited for the lesson to officially start. |

Evelyn didn't know why she was here. And she almost didn't come in the first place. Hearing that the lesson was back in this broomshed...
*shiver*
But, here she was, goggles and gloves in one hand as she entered the shed, patting down her work robes. Broom care was definitely something to take her mind off a few things, which was DEFINITELY needed at the moment since running wasn't doing her any good at the moment.
Besides, broom care was always relaxing in a way. "Hello Professor." she said quietly before moving to a spot, where there were less people. Which meant, no one could enter her personal space without a practiced and well made glare from her.

Simon walked into the classroom. "Good day Professor." He smiled, Simon was wondering what the Professor had in store for him, he hoped that the Professor was in a good mood today.
