looking for Freyr outside of the school when she noticed him on his broom, wonders if she should call out to him or keep quiet until he will

_notice her.

trying to see how fast he can go. He's planning to join the Quidditch team if he can. He decides to take a little break and lands at the_

shore of the lake.

notices that he landed, runs over to him and practically tackles him, "Freeeeyr, there you are! I've been looking for you since ages!"

nearly falls into the body of water by the surprise tackle. "L-Laia? You have? Sorry, I was.. a little busy lately."

pouts, "You probably were, I mean, I hardly even saw you in classes!" smiles, "You've been practicing, eh?"

blushes a little, he was not about to tell her that he transformed into a cat. "Um, yeah.. But I still haven't tried out for the team yet.."

blinks, then grins, "Ah, that's cool! What position would you play at?"

looks a little worried "Seeker. But I don't know if I'm actually that fast.."

chuckles, "I bet you'll be good, you'll just need practice!" grins, then tilts her head, "But, still, what else have you been busy with~? I_

don't mean to be nosy or anything.. Just curious~ I mean, you can't be only busy with practicing."

can't lie nor tell her the embarrassing truth. "Um, learning counter spells and such with my cousin." He tells her. It's not a lie since he_

really was trying to learn one certain counter spell.

blinks a few times, "Oh. Well, you're not busy anymore, are you? I'm kinda bored without you." pouts.

shakes his head. "Other than practicing, no. Hey, wanna have a race on brooms?" He asked for fun, wondering if she's ridden one before.

blinks a few times, "..Race? Em, sure." smiles nervously, she only flied on the broom once..

transfigures a rock nearby into a broom and levitates it to her. "Have you ridden a broom before?"

grabs the broom, nods slightly, "Yeah, once..." pouts at that, she'll surely lose to him.

rethinks the race. "How about I teach you instead then?" He offers instead.

blinks, then nods and smiles widely, "Sure! That would be great!"

where he should start. "Um, do you know the basics?"

nods, "Yeah.. A friend helped me with that~ I'm not just that good at flying, I guess."

rides his broom. "Maybe you just need more practice, like me.."

blinks, then sits on the broom and takes off to the air herself, "..Well, yeah, probably.. I don't think I'll be as good as the quidditch_

players though." pouts a bit

slows down to wait for her. "Me neither.. But it's worth a try right?" He tells her, though he sounds disinterested.

catches up with him, then huffs, "Y-you're still a lot better than me, I bet you'll be like those world known quidditch players!"

chuckles. "You think so? I haven't even tried out for the team yet, though."

grins at him, "You should so try out for the team! I bet you'd be a part of the team before you know it!"

surprised to hear that. "I.. I guess I will. But I don't really like the captain all that much.. He's kind of.. strict."

blinks, "Well, all captain's are strict," grins wider and flies up to him, nudging him with her foot, "So.. What are we gonna do?"

sighs, "That's true, but there's just something else about him I don't like." He looks at her, "Do you still want to race?"

blinks, then waves her legs a bit, "..Em, sure.. I guess we can do that.. Are we gonna bet on something or a normal race?"

raises a brow. "Up to you.. You don't have to race if you don't want to, you know."

raises a brow too, "Hey, I want to race though! I'm not that confident on it.. But I want to racee~"

nods and smiles. "Okay. But do you still want to make a bet?"

blinks, then grins widely, "Sure! What are we betting on?"

hums in thought, but can't come up with anything. "What would you bet anyways?"

for a moment, "Em.. Probably something cliché as homework for some time or something.."

puts on the goggles that were resting on top of his head. "Hm.. How about... one date?" He suggests, not looking at her.

blinks a few times before blushing, "..A-a date?"

nods, still looking away. He kinda wonders why he even suggested that...

smiles, still blushing, "S-sure, I guess~"

looks back at her, surprised and happy, but mostly surprised at her reply. "R-really? So.. If I win, you'll go on a date with me and if I_

lose... You won't..?" He reassures.

chuckles, "Alright then!" grins and shuffles a bit on the broom, trying to get into a comfortable position, "Where do we race to~?"

looks around. "Um.. From the shore of the lake, around the owl tower and back?" (I forgot what the place with all the owls was called >>; )

blinks, then grins, "Alright, sounds good to me~"

nods. He flies to the shore of the lake and waits for her there.

follows, staring blankly at the lake, thinking about any difficulties that there could be on the way of the race.

slightly wonders what she's staring at and looks in the same direction too, confused.

blinks, then looks back at Freyr, grinning, "Let's do it~!"

smiles, feeling his competitive edge rising. "Ready?" He asks her as he positions himself.

winks at him and sticks her tongue out, "I sure am!"

narrows his eyes behind his goggles then looks straight ahead. "Okay, GO!" He yelled before taking off.

jumps at the yell, then quickly takes off and catches up with Freyr. Leans forward, trying to catch more speed.

leans forward as well, catching more speed. He makes a mental note of when to turn as he sees the castle up ahead. He's glad he has goggles_

with the wind whipping past him.

winces as the wind starts hurting her eyes, looks at Freyr and then forward, noticing the castle up ahead. She made a mental note to take_

goggles the next time she'll race with somebody.

chuckles and goes faster, knowing his goggles gives him some advantage. He spots the tower up ahead and readies himself for the turn.

huffs, hearing his chuckle and narrows her eyes, trying to notice what's up ahead. Doesn't spot the tower and instead of turning, flies_

straight forward, then notices as Freyr turns. Curses and starts to chase after him.

would've laughed if she crashed into the tower, but then again, that'd be bad. He does his u-turn around the tower and heads back towards_

the shore of the lake.

grumbles something under her breath and leans forward, still chasing Freyr. She wasn't going to let him win easily!

looks back to see how far she's away from him. He seems to be safe for now. However, he leans closer to his broom, trying to increase his_

speed.

can see that she'll lose, but leans closer to her broom, trying to catch up. She was *so* close to being faster than him and winning!

can't let her win, simply because of his competitiveness. He kicks the side of his broom forcing it to accelerate, even if it was just by a_

little.

narrows her eyes, noticing what he did, not noticing an owl flying straight at her, "W-wah!" shouts when she suddenly dived, dodging the_

bird. Everything was against her today..

quickly glanced back. "Are you okay?" He shouted, as he slowed down to make sure that she was alright.

looks up for a minute, grins, "I am!" leans forward and catches more speed. She still had a chance to win!

hesitates for a moment before accelerating again. He regains his original speed within a few seconds and can see the lake up ahead.

looks up for a moment, notices that he regained the speed he had. Curses under her breath and kicks the side of her broom, trying to_

faster.

can see the shore and victory in front of him now. He leans closer to his broom and continues forward.

notices the lake and shore, ever so close to them. Kicks her broom again, ignoring the wind hurting her eyes, and leans forward even more.

notices her catching up, but he was almost there! He couldn't gain anymore speed now, so he just closes his eyes and hopes for the best_

outcome as they pass the finish line.

slows down a bit, looks up at him. She was curious why he suggested the date earlier. Chuckles and grins to herself when he passed the_

finish line, "Heeey, congratulatiooons~ You woooon~" shouts and waves her arms.

lands at the shores and looks back at her. "T-thanks!" He replied, a little shocked himself. "S-so about that bet.." He says, nervously.

lands next to him and chuckles, realizing that he's nervous, "Yeah, where and when~?" smiles at him.

scratches the back of his head as he looks at the ground. "Um.. How about tomorrow? You can choose where if you want..""

chuckles, "Well, you won, you decide~ Everything's fine with me..~"

looks around them. "Um.. What about that town then? Hogsmeade

?" * (stupid keyboard)

smiles, actually excited about the idea of a date, "Sure!"

blushes and looks to the side, "O-okay. I'll see you then.." He hurries off, not wanting her to see how red his face was.

chuckles slightly, "Alright, see you tomorrow!"
