¿Did.I.T`e`l`l:You:I/Was/Ready?{Gryffindor Team}

[Lily Potter]

The moon was up and the sky was dark with storm clouds. Of course it was going to rain, but not for an hour or so. A small girl happened to be walking down to the Quiddich Pitch on this late night, hoping for some practice at three o'clock in the morning. No, this wasn't not the norm for Lily Potter, but seeing as she had made up her mind about being a professional Quidditch player, she felt the need to practice every second of her spare time. So, what was not the norm, was slowly becoming the norm for Miss Potter. Which included practicing at three in the morning. She sighed as she thought of Zane, who had gotten the idea of going down to the pitch stuck in her head to start with.

The wind caught her vibrant red hair as she slowly got closer to the pitch. Sighing again, she came to a stop. Laying her brand spankin new Firebolt on the ground, one of her brothers had informed her parents of her idea about the future and they, in turn, had giving her the broom as a gift, she pulled her hair back in a pony and smoothed out her practice robes before picking her broom up. She glanced around. No Prefects or Teachers in site. Good luck, or she thought. She let her mind run away with her, thinking back to the games she had played. She was a kickass chaser if she did say so herself. She knew she had a good chance of being Gryffinodr Captain once Zane had gone off to be a National Quiddich star.

Before she knew it, she was standing in the middle of the pitch, her chin lifted as she gazed up at the moon. The wind, which was still a light breeze, lifted her bangs as she stared up into the heavens. She smiled, but did not lower her gaze. It was as if something was holding her there, not wanting her to move from that exact spot. Sighing, she knew this would be another lonely practice. James had a bad day, and Rosie and Teddy were either locked together in a everlasting embrace or studying. Zane was the only person from her team that she thought might join her, but she hadn't seen much of him that day. "Who knows, maybe someone will come out." she thoguht aloud, still looking up at the moon.

[Victoire Weasley]

The way to the Pitch was empty of any student or teacher, the animals silent, and the wind rapidly picking up. It was eerily quiet at three in the morning, but it was also one of those nights -or morning, rather- where a certain insomniatic just couldn't lie awake in bed anymore. The blonde girl, with an old StarShooter 2009, slowly, but surely tredded the dangerously rockey terrain in order to make her way to the large field where so many of her fellow teammates spent their early mornings.
Victoire Weasley stiffled a yawn, and rubbed at her eyes. Dark circles underneath revealed how little sleep she ever got, and a number of brusies that ran up and down her bare shins showed just how clumsy she was off of a broom. It was unseasonably warn for Autumn, something Americans called an Indian Summer, and she was dressed quite simply in an old t-shirt and a pair of shorts. Besides, who would stare if the Pitch was empty? The Squirrels?
Well, realized Vikki as she mounted the broom, so she wouldn't have to fall anymore, I guess it isn't empty. Her blue eyes spotted a tiny little Chaser named Lily Potter, watching the moon like it was the first time she had ever seen it. Victoire swung around, so that she was hovring about ten feet away, and called her friend by name.
"Whatcha doing out here, kiddo? Waiting for you Golden Boy to come and play a little sports with ya? Well, I guess you'll just have to settle for me!" She smiled, widely, as she teased Lily. She knew pretty well how much the younger like Zane, and loved to tease, but she'd never do so infront of the crush named. That would be insensitive, and Victoire wasn't like a cousin of hers.

[Lily Potter]

Lily let her thoguhts run away with her as she thought about her current life. School, crazy brothers and boys. Normal teenage stiff, right? Well, no one she knew was exactly normal, per say. Well, not normal to any sane person who was sitting on the fence watching the NO and DE battle in a never war. Her mind was filled up with the NO, and some it happened to do with the leader. But she wasn't so sure he had his head on straight. Yes, she knew he was right about Zoey, so she couldn't hold it aganist him. With her thoughts taking over, she lost sight of the real world. Her eyes closed as she listened to the calm night. She could even hear the faint splashing of the Black Lake.
All was well. Well, until her cousin, Miss Vikki Weasley, came to tease her. Her eyes flew open, a deadly look in them. "And if I was waiting for Golden Boy to show up, would you still be here teasing me?" she snapped back, sneering a Malfoy worthy sneer. "I was a bloody idiot to ever let my tongue slip about that! Vikki Weasley...." she muttered, her eyes watching her cousin.
Sighing, Lily mounted her Fireblot and kicked off the ground, taking a deep breath of fresh air. "I can't settle for someone so below my amazing ablilites." she teased, not able to be angry with her cousin anymore. "Sure you can keep up?" The question was faint as she zipped away from her cousin. She swiftly pulled her broom around and darted back. "Mum and Dad sent it to me today. Great huh?" she said, looking at her cousin with dancing eyes.

[Zane Lestrange]

In fact the Golden Boy was present. He had been there for about an hour now. It hadn't been long into his practice before he had the urge to go and get some crumpets and a hot chocolate from the kitchens. The Captain had left his firebolt at the edge of the pitch, so that it was slightly hidden in shadow, only visible when the light from the oil lamp fell on it. Crumpets and hot chocolate in hand, he had returned to the pitch and made his way into the stands. Sitting watching the stars, sipping hot chocolate had to be one of the best ways to relax. Of course, he had the intention of continuing with his practice, eventually, after the crumpet break. Due to consecutive nights of early morning training, he was shattered and simply couldn't resist having a rest for a while. Lying on one of the benches in the stands, hidden from the ground, his eyes had flicked closed and he was down for the count. The plate lay abandoned on the floor next to the mug of hot chocolate which was giving off a white steam into the air around the sleeping Gryffindor. The Firebolt lay where it had been left half an hour before, as Zane slept on, dreaming of Quidditch, crumpets and flying in particular.

[James Sirius Potter]

James had managed to stay awake and staggared down to the pitch in his practice robes. He carried his firebolt over his shoulder. He smiled over at Lils "Ted said that there is a training session?" he said yawning. He then spotted Zanes firebolt "seems like Zane is here for training," he thought unsurprised by this. He scanned the stands and sure enough he saw him lying on a bench asleep. He walked up to the bench and shook Zane slightly to wake him.

[Victoire Weasley]

Victoire smiled as she hovered closer to the tiny redhead. "Turns out your White Knight is here after all. And, I haven't told him yet. That's Delacour's area of expertise." She looked at Lily's new broom enviously. "You're so lucky, ya know. I had to work three summer jobs just to afford this old dinosaur. And, hello to you Jamesy" She shot back to her cousin, who had not said hello to her. She smiled as she pretended to feel left out.
Her blue gaze fell upon the Firebolt. "Oh. Nevermind. We should set up a mock game. You and Zane versus me and James." She stuck her tongue out. "James would have to be a keeper though, so I can show you why I'm a chaser!"

[James Sirius Potter]

James smiled at Vikki when he caught the hurt that he didn't say hello to her. To be honest he didn't say hello to anyone. "Sorry Viks you know what I'm like at 2am." He smiled at the idea of a mini game but then scowled as he heard he should be keeper "Aww come on Vikki, I need to practice chaser too." he smiled so that she knew he was only teasing "Ok but we swap in a bit." he said looking towards Lily and Zane wondering whether Zane had woken up yet.

[Lily Potter]

Lily smiled. "Ok! I game for kicking both of 'yalls asses! Now, I just need to wake Zane...." she said, a smile on her lips as she flew to the resting boy's side. "Hummm." she said aloud, a mischievous grin on her face. She wondered what would wake him. She snapped her fingers, tossing her leg over her broom and standing over Zane. Slowly, she rested her hands on either side of his chest. She stifled a laugh and she ran her fingers lightly over his sides, causing him to squirm. "I knew it!" she said proudly. She continued the action until Zane was wide awake laughing as the young Gryffindor tickled the living shit out of him.
"Well, nice of you to wake, Captain. We are about to engage in a two on two match. You and I versus Miss Weasley and Mr. Potter. Care to play?" she teased, standing straight up. She smiled warmly at him, remembering the night in the Common Room. "Well, hurry up!" she said, mounting the Firebolt again. "Are you two ready to get a beating?" she asked, winking at her brother and cousin.

[James Sirius Potter]

James snorted "You have nerve saying that you guys are gonna beat us. Also these teams aren't fair," he also didn't want Zane and Lills on the same team. "It should be you and me against Zane and Viki." he said scowling as she tickled Zane awake.

[Lily Potter]

Lily smirked at her brother, knowing he would fight her the whole conversation. "No, James. The teams have been made. It is sooo a fair match. Unless you're saying that you can't beat us...." she said, looking back at Zane. "So, first team to 100 wins?" She darted down and grabbed the Firebolt belonging to Zane. She flashed back up to him, handing it over. "There you go!" she chimed, hovering by him as she waited for the game to being.

[James Sirius Potter]

James scowled. She had caught him there. She knew that he hated the thought of being beaten. He shook his head and said "No Viki and I will beat you easily." He mounted his broom and kicked off soaring round the stadium twice for warm-ups.

[Zane Lestrange]

The dreams continued the clouds swirling around until...Zane's eyes opened as he began to laugh uncontrollably. There was Lily Potter, making him squirm to try and wake him up. "Ok ok, I give! I'm awake!" He said the laughter beginning to subside. He sat up, stretching slightly as he caught sight of James and Victoire out on the pitch. When he stood up, his firebolt was already in his hand, thanks to Lily. He smiled at Lily, as he noticed James' reaction. A sheepish look crossed his face as he mounted the firebolt, "he doesn't look happy Lils, best take it easy on them." He soared off into the sky, clearing any shadows of sleep that remained.

[Lily Potter]

Lily laughed, hearing the comment from Zane as he soared off. "Like I take it easy on anyone." she whispered to herself, zipping away from the stands. "No one ever answered! First to 100 wins?" she said again, still laughing softly. She did enjoy the late night practices that they had. It was hard, indeed, but never did she have so much fun.

[James Sirius Potter]

James smiled and nodded positioning himself by the goal hoops. He watched as Lily and Zane kicked off the ground. He wished that he could be playing chaser instead of Viki but you win some you lose some.

[Victoire Weasley]

"Kay, first to one hundred. And no changing it when we get there first!" Victoire smiled, as she adjusted to the air currents that were more obvious up here than down on the ground. She immediately wished that she had thought to wear something warmer, for her lack of long-sleeves, or long pant legs had goose bumps running up and down her arms and legs. "Kay, Little Lion, give it your best shot. James, I know how you're itchign to get outta that goal, so we'll switch when either team reaches fifty, kay?" She crouched forward, ever-so-slightly. "That might be sooner than you want, though"
