| | Flying Final Exam Flying Final When Tuesday, 29 MAR @ Noon EST to Thursday, 31 MAR @ Noon EST
It was the week after the Quidditch Cup Championship game and three days after the disgusting Herbology lesson. But Vindictus was outside and in his familiar stomping grounds, and thus felt more at ease. Everything and anything flying-related came to him with perfect ease (unlike trying to decipher the Herbology lessons contained in the teacher's text).
A rack of brooms, a box of bats, and a bin of restrained Quaffles awaited the class.
Would they even dare to attend in fear of being eaten by the unknown? |

| Spider *flail* (Post #3) Baguette | there is no D in my name | TRAITORclaw | Queenie of Narnia This freaky pinata was probably not meant to be freaky, but it so was. Just those big, freaky eyes and that creepy little mouth and the way it looked at everyone... It was just as creepy as any real spider (or Acromantula) that she'd seen. So it was going down.
Vashti wanted to beat its freaky face in, but it creeped her out if she stared at it too long, so she turned her broom and zoomed around so that she could attack it from behind. It didn't move as crazily as the pig had, but it still moved pretty well and swiftly. It was no match for Vashti though as she relentlessly pursued it until she got close enough to give it a good THWACK! on one of its legs.
There. Now to put up this silly bat. She was done playing Beater.

She quickly began to zoom towards the target. SWOOSH was all she could hear as her hair whipped around her, the wind fighting against her body fighting to not let her through but she cut through with ease. The slippery little minx.
Readying her arm, she lobbed the quaffle quite hard at the target. DING. She hit it. All smiles. She felt proud of herself as she dove down retrieving the quaffle and circling back towards the box she dropped it in, she watched it fall in before zooming off again towards the north goal.
"Wow, I love this feeling" she smiled as she felt the wind in her hair she'd never actually let on that she could fly or that she'd liked it so much. But she did. She loved it.

| Spider Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna Now on to the eight-legged target that hung in the not-so-far distance. Well seven-legged since it appeared it had already lost a leg to a classmate. Not like the fake creature didn't have more then enough surface to aim at. Simon flew toward it, ducking out of the way of another flyer before swinging his arm back and hitting it with a smack. "Yes! " he exclaimed as he turned away before he hit it himself. On to the next steps.

| Butterfly Goo goo g'joob
Really? No Bludger? That was some... Really?!
Whatever at least they were moving. Not that it really help, they weren't moving nearly fast enough... Maybe Vindictus should have a different Final for Quidditch Players, Good Flyers, and Non-flyers.
Jacob threw his Bat From hand to hand, as he stared down the Butterfly... Icky. It was all colorful, and Icky!
As the Butterfly started to move closer, Jacob tossed the bat back to his left hand. He Wasn't going to exert too much energy on this either. He sped off towards the Butterfly, going into a fast Back Hand Swing THWACK!!
A Crack sounded through both the bat and the piniata... he didn't even have to waste any energy. This came to him so naturally... but why couldn't they at least use wooden balls... it would be hard, and Bludger like, Just instead of a concusion, you'd get a headache and a splinter.
Now Where's that Piggy?

| Swoop down and drop bat in box (Post #4) Baguette | there is no D in my name | TRAITORclaw | Queenie of Narnia Now, where were these supposed to go?
Vashti flew lower, scanning the pitch quickly for the bat box then turning to fly towards it once she spotted it. She dropped in height quickly, letting her broom decrease in speed as she drew closer to the ground and the box. As soon as she was within reach, she let go of the bat and watched it fall neatly into the box. Score!

She flew the rest of the way to the North goal hoops where she quickly made to retrieve the purple pouch. As soon as the pouch was safe in her hand Kyle sat back and watched as everyone around her was doing all their different tasks it was a wonder no one got a beater's bat to the head with the amount of students at the pitch participating in their finals. She looked around, watching, smiling.

Alright, so now all she had to do was circle the pitch, right? She furrowed her eyebrows a little as she thought about how easy this part of the task was. Oh, well. She needed a little break in between all the pinata thwacking and quaffle throwing.
Although she'd circled the pitch many of times before, this part of the task still ended up being slightly difficult for her. Why? Not because of the flying itself, no. It was because of the insane amount of people trying to do the exact same thing she was.
There weren't as many people flying toward the right, though, so Sierra steered the broom in that direction, somehow managing to get in front of a group of students she'd once been behind. With the area in front of her now wide open, Sierra took off, circling the pitch in record time.
She had to be close to finishing now...

| Circling the pitch (post 5) doesn't proofread tweets | #wrongaboutcereal | #siriusly? | emo to the extremo
After she dropped the bat Nika felt a sudden burst of energy and flew up into the sky with a smile on her face. Flying was actually fun once you got past all of the nerves. Nika flew a few laps around the pitch and kept a smile on her face throughout. Nika isn't a very good flier and she isn't very good at charms either, but something about the exams made her do well. Maybe it was the sudden pressure of being under pressure that made her do well. Yeah, that's it! Nika is good under pressure.

| Circle the pitch (Post #5) Baguette | there is no D in my name | TRAITORclaw | Queenie of Narnia Once the bat was gone, Vashti flexed her fingers a little as her broom started gaining altitude once more. Holding that bat for so long made her hands and fingers get a little stiff. Meh. She'd be okay.
Once they felt a little less stiff, she placed her hand on the broom with her other and started gaining speed as she began to circle the pitch. For a little while, she could relax and listen to the wind as it rushed past her. It was a calming sound...
For a few moments, she forgot she was still taking a final. But soon she remembered and realized she had completed her circle.
Now it was Quaffle time!

| Get quaffle from box (Mistake in last title--it was circling the pitch) Hiss!Roar!Growl!Caw! | Hermione's Double | The Little Three | Alecate
With her lap around the pitch over and done with, Sierra needed to quickly retrieve a quaffle from the other box (without touching the ground, of course). Seeing as the box of quaffles was all the way across the pitch from where she was currently flying, Sierra leaned forward on her broom and headed off in the right direction.
Once she was flying directly over the box of quaffles, Sierra pulled back on her broom and slowed down. She then lowered her broom a little to where she could fly right over the box. Hopefully now, she could grab a quaffle out of it and take off before she touched the ground.
Once she was at what she believed to be a good height, she leaned forward again and flew toward the box. With one hand still on the broom, she reached out and scooped up a quaffle, taking off before she even got close to the ground below.

| Drop bat in box Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna With the pinatas out of the way, SImon was ready for the next set of tasks. Remembering he no longer needed the bat, he took off in a gradual dive heading back down near the ground to get rid of it into the box like Vindictus had instructed. He was still a few feet above said box when he simply hung over it and dropped the beater's bad into it. The captain then moving away for the next student to complete the latest task.

Jacob sweeped the area with his eyes looking for a spider piniata... it had to be here somewhere, but where?
AHA! There you are, ya little booger. This was so simple... Why couldn't Vindictus find something more Challenging. He used to be a beater after all... The Professional Practices must have given him some ideas for this... even if he had to Simplify it for the less, and the much less experienced.
Jacob sped up and took out the Spider with a Swing and a great THWACK!
Now Where was this box again?

| Grab a Quaffle (Post #6) Baguette | there is no D in my name | TRAITORclaw | Queenie of Narnia It didn't take long for Vashti to spot the box with all the familiar red balls in it. Once more, she swooped down low, slowing her speed a little as she neared the ground. As the Quaffle box drew nearer, she reached out her right hand and leaned down to latch on to the ball. She gripped it tight as she started turning her broom up again then tucked it under her arm, suddenly feeling very much like she was in the middle of a Quidditch game.

After a quick lap around the pitch insearch of the box, Jacob finally spotted it... Of course it was where they started. Why Would it have moved? Stupid Jacob.
He Quickly Dove down and released the bat into the box.
But the bat hit the egde and droped out... "OOPS!" he called out. "Sorry, Professor." Vindictus was nice enough to pick that up, right? Or was he going to make Jacob do the whole this again. That wouldn't be very nice.

| Circle the Pitch Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna Ok so circling the pitch was probably the easiest task so far seeing as there were no obstacles or items you had to deal with. It was just you the flyer, the broom and the open air so as Simon took off for his circuit it was a relaxing trail. The pace a moderately fast one just to make sure he gave himself enough time to complete the rest and before long he was back where he had began.

after Dropping his bat, Jacob was back up at normal Quidditch Altitude, around the height of the hoops, and was now on the look out for the box containing the Quaffles.
Jacob took his lap around the pitch, keeping his eyes peeled for and hint of a red ball inside a box.
Here Box-y Quaffle Box... Here Boy!

| Target (Post #7) Baguette | there is no D in my name | TRAITORclaw | Queenie of Narnia Now to attack the target.
Vashti shot off, away from the Quaffle box and toward the target. She imagined the target as a goal hoop with the bullseye as the hole. That was what she would be aiming for. At least for this she didn't have to worry about a Keeper trying to block it. She just needed to have good aim.
As she neared it, she raised her arm, Quaffle in hand, just waiting for the right moment to shoot...
...
NOW!
The Quaffle left her hand, flying for the target... DING!
Oh yeah! Bullseye!

| Grab a Quaffle. Goo goo g'joob
He had taken an entire lap, and hadn't even seen a red ball, other than the ones that we being thrown at the target.
Half way around the second time, Jacob finally spotted the box, and went into a dive, When his fingers touched surface he quickly pulled out of the dive and back up... Oh He remembered being chaser. The hard times where he had to be fast, when the Keeper was always faster. Darn Keeper.
But What he remembered most about being Chaser was how convenient the Gripping Charm was, you Barely had to hole on to it. It wasn't going to drop, unless you let it drop, or you lost the initial grip on the ball.
Now Mister Target, prepare to be Dung... Dinged... Whatever!

| Grab a quaffle Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna Now for a more familiar skill, grabbing and dealing with a quaffle. Sure it was easier to catch it from a pass or from grabbing it from an opponant but it shouldne't be too hard to get from the box for it was all a matter of control and balance. Swooping down once more,this time far lower until he was just above the box containing the balls, Simon stopped himself midflight and leaned down in a quarter roll before straightening and flying away.
Now where was that target...

| Retrieve Quaffle and return it to the box (Post #8) Baguette | there is no D in my name | TRAITORclaw | Queenie of Narnia Vashti wished there was something else they could do with the Quaffle. She wanted to play with it some more. But ah well. Nothing she could really do about it, she supposed.
She dove down and caught the Quaffle just before it reached the ground, and since she was now near the ground, all she had to do was just fly her broom back over to the Quaffle box and let it fall in. Bye-bye Quaffle.

| Target (Post #7) Goo goo g'joob
Jacob spotted the people taking turns, shooting their Quaffles at the target.
Alright, Mister Target, prepare to meet your Dinger... Dunger... Dingeder... Was there even a word for it?
Jacob sped of, and once he got closer and saw an opening for him to shoot between the other test takers. Jacob launched the Quaffle... aww it looked like it was gonna miss. DING!
Never mind... it was a bit off, but it hit.. now if that were a bludger it would be a catastrophe. Cause it was the difference between hitting an opponent and your own teammate. But Jacob was more accurate with that.
