"We used those throwing stars last time... although we could probably get a real one."

"I'd like to use a real one this time. It'd be rather better practice."

"They have some in the shed where they keep the uniforms... that's where I got the Bludger."

"Right!" Teatime looked about for the shed, located it, and flew towards it, trailing a Bludger. A few moments later he returned, grinning, a Snitch firmly gripped in his hand. "Hi!"

"You planning on chasing it while dodging the Bludger, or did you want me to try keeping it away like I would in a real game?"

"Either would be good practice. Which would you like to do?"

"I should probably be practicing what I'll be doing during games." Nny rolled his eyes, then dove toward the Bludger, bat raised, and hit it with a wide upward swing.

"Which part would that be, hitting it at people or away from people?" Teatime rolled his good eye, released the Snitch into the air, and flew some distance away to allow for complications. One, two, three--and then he began to pursue it.

"I think I'm techinically supposed to keep it away from my team-mates. Aiming it towards the other team is more of an unofficial perk."

"And you could practice as if we were on the same side, couldn't you?"

"With only up practicing it makes more sense. And you'll have people hitting Bludgers away from you in games anyway."

"I suppose so. Just suggesting." He looked around, eye nearly as wide as his smile, looking.
Ah.
Teatime swung his broom to one side and flew after the Snitch, holding on to the broom tightly, laughing.

Grinning, Nny circled around him in the air, eyes fixed on the Bludger.

The Snitch was fast, but Teatime could be faster (if this broom would maneuver. Ugh! It's incredibly cumbersome), and he was close on its tail by now and increasing speed. I expect a distraction any time now, of course.

Interesting.

The Bludger really did seem to swing more readily towards Teatime, as if it knew that Nny was the one focusing on it.

Or maybe it liked a challenge as well, and Teatime's Snitch-chasing acrobatics were moe exciting than Nny's defensive patterns.

But whatever else the Bludger was, it wasn't very good at evading his blows. Although sometimes the directions it went off in weren't what he expected...

A quick dodge to the side, to avoid the Bludger and keep from getting smashed into; a small dive, up again, accelerate....

Teatime was now flying back, still trying not to get hit by the Bludger, Snitch firmly gripped in his hand.

Impressive. "I think next time, I should be hitting it at you."

"And trying to hurt me?"

"Are you suggesting that my faith in your many talents is unwarranted?"

"No, of course not. I'm quite confident in them myself."

"I'll remember that." He smirked, flying toward the Bludger with his bat raised. "Ready?"

"One moment," Teatime said, releasing the Snitch. "Now I'm ready~."

A great, sweeping swing bringing the bat against the Bludger... so teasingly close to a human head... and it shot off, rocketing past Teatime and looping back towards him.

Moving out of the path once and then again, Teatime shot off like a bat out of hell after the Snitch, giggling as he found himself going in loops and having to duck the returning Bludger. It's great fun.

"You could almost make me wish I'd taken a different position," Nny laughed, swooping in to hit the Bludger on a new trajectory.
