STATUS: Ongoing! 


With Tony being the Captain of Ravenclaw's team this year. Tony decided to take a break from homework and general geniusing, to sit out in the autumn sun while doing some general broom maintenance out on the grass. 

He's absorbed in his work; readjusting twigs, shifting his foot stands and getting on and testing how it moves a few feet off the air.

He's mumbling to himself during the entire process.

"What I wouldn't give for an iPod to work here sometimes"

Is one of the few things he can be heard mumbling aside from extensive thoughts on how the broom should hand'e when he does this thing or that thing to it.

One thing is for sure, he seems to be quite in his element playing with the broom.

"Captain Stark is.."

Tony finishes trimming a twig and then looks at Natasha.

"Keeping his tools at peak performance."

Leaning back and lifting his arm, Tony show's off his broom to be one of the few Stark brooms that are out in the UK, but even then he's fiddled with it so much the only thing that calls back to it's true self is the broom handle's shaping, the foot stand and the stark Logo on the stand itself, which wasn't on the stand in the first place, meaning he's moved it there. It's been Painted in blue and bronze with a metallic paint.

"I think it's almost finished."

"I didn't see that one in Diagon Alley. Is that from over the pond?"

Natasha sat next to Tony and looked over the broom, inwardly rolling her eyes at the pain job. At least it was the House colors and not something far more attention getting.

[arrogantalloy]

"They have it here. It was just out of stock, so I have to owl it in. But yeah, Stark issue at that."

As she sits next to him he moves his arm closer to her, so she can see more of the broom, or touch it if she so felt like it.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Natasha takes the broom from him for a quick once over. She didn't mind her Clean Sweep, but she always wanted to try one of the newer racing brooms.

"Anthony... I have an idea."

[arrogantalloy]

He blinks at her and raises an eyebrow.

"Anthony?"

[actuallyspeakslatin]

She scooted closer to Tony, flashing him a large smile as she did so. Natasha put the broom down gently and put an arm around his shoulder.

"Do you mind if I take it for a spin?"

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah. Tony's eyebrows both shoot up as she get's pleasantly into his personal space in the best kind of way.

"You want to take. My broom for a spin? It's pretty fast, think you can handle it?"

He gives her a chummy smile as his hand slips around her waist.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Natasha nodded enthusiastically while biting her bottom lip.

"I think I can handle anything you throw at me."

[arrogantalloy]

Tony stares at her lip. And licks his own slowly.

"You know, I might just hold you to that."

With her flirting adding to his mood, he pats her waist then nods.

"Sure, you can give it a spin around the field. Just not too high. I'm still tweaking."

He might like the fact she's sort of all over him right now, but he's not so girl obsessed that he's going to let her go to crazy on a broom he's not finished testing.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Natasha gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and wormed her way out of his grasp. She had the broom in her hands before she could blink.

"If you do, you might regret it."

[arrogantalloy]

The second the kiss registers, he breaks out into a massively pleased grin.

"Unlikely. Regrets are for people who are too scared to love life."

He's the cat that has the cream right now. No denying it.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Natasha flew around for about ten minutes before going back down to the ground.

"That was too much fun."

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony watches her very carefully, seeing how the broom moves under her control. The grin still on his face, though he still had a look of great scrutiny on his face.

As Natasha comes back Tony's grin widens and he gestures to the broom.]

How was the handling?

[He tries not to look too excited about getting her reactions on the broom, as he's never had anyone use his brooms before.]
