Getting ready for Quidditch

[Elliott Dark Dames]

Elliott entered the shop Quality Quidditch Supplies to buy what ever interested him. On the right hand side of the shop was all the protection gear needed to play Quidditch from the Keeper's Protection hat to knee pads and arm pads and on the left hand side of the shop was broomsticks from Comets to Shooting Stars, beater's bats and a boxes stacked which had the Bludgers, Snitch and Quaffles inside. Elliott looked around the shop until he came to a broom called the Cleansweep 11. It had a sleek oak handle and neat tail twigs. Elliott wanted it bad.

Ami wandered up and down Diagon Alley, waiting for a shop to catch her eye. When her eyes fell on Quality Quidditch Supplies, she knew she had found her store. Ever since she was a small child, Ami had been watching Quidditch, and she was hoping to make her House team this year.

As she entered the store, her jaw dropped. There were so many things that Ami had never thought about related to Quidditch. For some reason she had never though that players had to buy their padding or balls. Looking back, it seemed foolish, but she had always thought they were just there.

As Ami was browsing the aisles, she found Elliott in front of the Cleansweep 11. Naturally, she approached the boy, but instead of greeting him like she planned, a huge smile broke across her face as she looked at the broom. It was perfect. Even though she didn't have much experience with brooms, Ami thought it was the best broom on the planet. "Woah." The word sort of popped out of her mouth, but she was too distracted by the broom to care.

[Elliott Dark Dames]

Elliott looked beside him as he saw Ami next to him. "Hey, didn't see you come in," Elliott said as he didn't take his eyes of the broom. "Its a beauty aint it?" Elliott said as he put his hand out and touched the sleek handle. "Wow.." Elliott said. He was in love.

Ami looked over. "Definitely." she said, smiling, and turned back to the broom. She knew her mum would never let her get it, especially since First Years weren't even allowed their own brooms. "You play?" she asked after another minute, finally turning away from the broom. She already practically had it memorized. "Quidditch, I mean."

[Elliott Dark Dames]

Elliott nodded as he gazed at it for another minute. His dad might buy it for him and let him sneek it in. Elliott shurgged as he looked back and heard Ami ask him a question. "Yeh, I do, I love it! Its awesome. I love playing Beater," Elliott said as he looked over his other shoulder and saw a beater's bat that was made from iron. Elliott smiled.

[quirkk]

Ami was a bit surprised to find out he played Beater. She could never imagine herself hitting a ball that was flying straight at her or a teammate. "I play too." she said, now browsing through riding gloves, "Chaser." She'd tried Seeker once in her backyard, but she wasn't fast or nimble enough to catch the golf ball that her brother, Collin, had been throwing for her.

[Elliott Dark Dames]

Elliott grinned. "Chasers awesome and Seeker but I dont have like, I hate throwing things into like a hoop because some muggle kids play the same type of game shooting a ball into a hoop so I hate that concept because Magic, do something fun I guess?" Elliott said as he took a deep breathe. "But yeh I'd like to be Seeker but, I'd rather be a meanie then a whimp I guess," Elliott said as he looked at the riding gloves Ami was staring at.

[Jason Price]

"Are you saying Harry Potter was a wimp while at Hogwarts?" a voice said.

Jason Price had entered the shop, looking for a broom. He had been using a Shooting Star, but he couldn't stand the idea of playing a game on the thing. His dad, Riley Price, had told him to pick himself out a broom. Mr. Price had said that, if Jason was chosen for a team, he would get the school to allow him a broom.

"I'm Jason Price." Jason said with an outstretched hand, "First years too, huh?"

[quirkk]

Ami put down the pair of gloves she was admiring and gave the newcomer a smile. "Yeah. I'm Ami Bence." she said, shaking his hand. She might have thought it was rude for Jason to be listening to their conversation, but for some reason she didn't. Maybe she just assumed that any conversation in a public place could be overheard.

She then picked up a different pair of riding gloves. They were leather with wool inside to keep the rider's hands warm and fit Ami's hand perfectly, like a glove. For 3 galleons, she decided that she was going to buy them.

[Jason Price]

"Nice to meet you." Jason said.

He looked over at the Beater's Bats. He loved playing to position of a Beater.

"You two going to try out for the house teams?" He asked the two.

[quirkk]

"You bet I am." Ami said, smiling. There was a knot in her stomach, somewhere between nervousness and excitement. "I'm hoping to make Chaser." Still holding the pair of gloves, she moved back toward the brooms. She owned a Cleansweep 9, which wasn't too bad, so she wasn't worried about buying a new broom, she just liked admiring the different models.

[Elliott Dark Dames]

Elliott looked at Jason as he asked the question about Harry Potter. He Elliott doesn't carry about Harry Potter and to him was not even important. "Whatever," Elliott said to answer Jason's question. "Im Elliott Dark Dames," Elliott said as he shook his outstreched hand. "Im going for beater," Elliott said as he grinned. He was a strong toughie sort of guy but his build well it didnt show it. "How about you?" Elliott asked

[Sevastian Rostov]

Sevastian Rostov entered the Quality Quidditch Supplies store and looked around. It was sure alive and busy with some students. Possible competition, he thought. But it was friendly competition. At home, Quidditch was a brutal sport. It still is, but the English are less bloody about it. He would think so at least.

Sevastian then walked over to the beater section. Sure enough, their conversation got louder. Something about Quidditch, Harry Potter and other things. Sevastian picked up and examined some of the equipment. Then deciding he didn't like it, he put it back and examined another one.
