Amanda brought out her brand new Firebolt, and headed onto the pitch. She dropped her bag, mounted her broom and kicked off the ground. She shot off the ground like a bullet and flew up quite high. This place was so peaceful, and she wanted to just get some practice in on her new broom. She just felt so free compared to being at her old school where they weren't allowed to fly unless it was official Quidditch Practice or Flying class.

Angel ran down to the Quidditch pitch, knowing she needed some time to relax. What better way was there than flying? She had picked up her new school broom and couldn't wait to try it even more. As she got there though she noticed a Gryffindor girl flying already, and realised she must be one of the transfers. She threw her leg over her broom and then soared into the air enjoying the feeling of near weightlessness. It was definitely good flying weather.

Amanda looked over and noticed there was another girl in the air, from the color of her robes she could tell the other girl was a Hufflepuff. She darted off near the other girl to introduce herself. "Hi, the name's Amanda Lesalle, 6th year Gryffindor transfer student, and you are?" She said politely for a change.

[angel]

"Angelina Newell," Angel said with a smile. "5th year Hufflepuff, but if you don't want to waste your breath saying Angelina all the time, Angel will do as well." She relaxed her grip on her broom after she was at a good height above the ground. "It's nice to meet you Amanda. Do you like Hogwarts at the moment?"

[freese383]

"Yes I do actually, its a lot better than my old school, I came from a private witchcraft academy in Canada, although I was a Prefect there and a Chaser for the house team" She said, levelling herself off and taking her hands off her broom.

[angel]

"Oh cool!" Angel said. She hadn't realised that there were private witchcraft and private wizarding schools. She thought all of them allowed both witchces and wizards. "Well I'm neither Prefect or on the house team, but I love flying so I often come out here to relax." She turned her broom upside down and hung there for a moment before turning it back laughing. "Head rush is soo much fun!"

[freese383]

"Well, I love flying as well, I'm good at it too. I had to test out my new broom, so that's why I came out here, I also needed just some time to think about a few things" She said, laughing after Angelina had hung upside down. "It hurts if you do it too long, I know what its like, I have done experiments to see the effects of hanging upside down and its not pretty after a while" She said, shaking her head.

Andrew carried his broom, not the one that the Professor had issues but his own, to the pitch ignoring everyone. He looked down at the broom, it was absurd really after all they were the same broom basically but he favoured his own broom and not the other one. Swinging one leg over his broom he kicked off the ground hard and flew around the pitch as fast as he could trying to relax himself.

Bella walked onto the pitch with her own latest Nimbus in her hands, knowing that she had to talk to Andrew and had seen him come onto the pitch. She smiled at both Angel and a Gryffindor girl as shes pushed herself off of the ground into the air. "Andrew!" she yelled knowing he would've seen her by now. When he didn't answer she shot after him going after him at her fastest speed. She had been ignored since coming back to school and she had had enough now.

[andrewmcdougall]

As Andrew turned around a corner he saw Bella coming out and swore. You have to be bloody kidding me. He heard her call him but didn't acknowledge it instead leaning down more causing his broom to move faster and going up at the same time. This was really ridiculous, it seemed like he couldn't get any alone time just to relax there was always someone there.

[isabellapeters]

"Right then," Bella said softly her own anger levels rising a bit as she picked up speed and height. She pointed her wand at his broom causing it to stop in mid air as she slowed next to it. "Right, do you want to explain why you haven't spoken a single word to me since we arrived almost a week and a half ago." She was mad, they were best friends and he hadn't even said hi or did you have a nice christmas?

[andrewmcdougall]

Andrew felt his broom jerk to a stop and frowned. He spun around and saw Bella. He glared at her, "No, not really. Now let my broom go." All thoughts of wanting to talk to her had dissipated once he had seen her. He didn't want to talk to her. He just wanted to be left alone. She had chosen the git over him and apparently had even agreed to marry him. That was fine with him. He had Ellie and a baby on the way. But... He couldn't stop the constant nagging thought every time he saw Bella. The thought that would not go away and would not let him be free of thoughts of her no matter how much he carried about Ellie.

Bella rolled her eyes and shook her head, crossing her arms as she let go of her broomstick. "No I won't," she said, knowing Imobulus would keep him still for at least an hour or so. "We're best friends Andrew, you even said that we'd remain best friends last term." There was a good reason they rarely argued, they were both stubborn and both had horrible tempers when they had to. "If this is about the engagement I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner! I had no idea where you were going to be and as much as I wanted you there, I know you'd be with Ellie!" She sighed and closed her eyes for a second trying to calm herself and then looked at him. "I thought you'd at least acknowledge me Andrew, instead you've just ignored me as if I'm a piece of filth, like you would ignore a Death Eater. Am I really that bad?"

Andrew gritted his teeth and glared at Bella, "Yea, well things change. Now let me go." He turned around and stared out in front of him not looking at Bella. He knew that if he let Bella talk that he'd give in the only problem was that he didn't want to give in. He didn't want to feel the pain that he knew was being blocked by his anger. He spun around at the mention of her engagement and felt a mixture of emotions choosing anger, anything else would have been...too painful. "Yea, you did! I always go home for Christmas and you know that, you've been there a few times!" He didn't want to continue on with that thought, the look on his mother's face when he brought Ellie instead of Bella had said it all.

He clenched his jaw and shook his head, "No, you're not that bad." He forced out. He let his gaze pass before him and he could feel the anger being replaced by the pain he had tried so hard to contain. "Do you have any idea how I feel?" he said in a barely audible whisper. "Do you know what I'm having to go through? Ellie being pregnant and then threatened because of what I talked her into in the first place when we first met. I can't sleep because I'm either worried about her and what will happen when they finally catch on or I can't stop thinking about you and it's driving me insane. I don't know what to do anymore and I don't like this feeling." He turned to look at her the anger completely drained from him replaced by that pain, "And then when I wanted to talk to my best friend who I thought I could talk to during the holidays who didn't even bother coming over to say hi or anything. Then I find out you're engaged like that...." He trailed off she didn't need to know he was still in love with her, she didn't need to know any of that. He sighed, "Just let me go. I want to be alone."
