WHO: Tony, but open to all.
TONE: Easy going.
RATING: PG-13 for possible language
WHEN: August 9th
WHERE: Hogwarts grounds. Roughly where the first years are taught how to ride a broom.
WHAT: Tony's getting ready to be a captain before general try out for quidditch start.
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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Tony's head snaps to look at her, having not expected someone to just show up behind him and almost in his ear. But he's quick enough to give her a big welcoming grin.]

Well if it isn't little miss sunshine. I wondered why it was so bright out today.

[He looks down at the broom and pats it.]

Thanks, I re-made it myself.

[Her smile falters at the sunshine comment -- she's not in much of a mood for flirting -- but returns at what he informs her about his broom.]

Wow, brilliant! What did you change, or-or improve?

Well.

[Tony misses her smile falter, even if she had said she wasn't in the mood for flirting, Tony would have just dismissed his words as just being friendly. He lifts it up for her to see. As he talks he changes its angles so she
can see everything.

Structurally; the handle is from the Stark 44-speedstrike. The bristles from Stark's Revertor 13. And I moved the foot stand up about an inch and a half.

Cosmetically; I moved the Stark logo to the kickstand, and as you can see, painted it bronze and blue. Because you know, House pride is great for moral, don't you think? Because, I do.

Huh... That's really neat. I don't think I really understand all of it, but just the fact that you figured all that out.

And yeah, house pride is great! You're Quidditch Captain for Ravenclaw this year, right?

Well, being less of a nerd about it. I switched bits around to make it faster and better on turns.

[He runs a hand through his hair. All his time with other Ravenclaw's means he forgets that some people have no clue what he talks about most of the time.]

That's right, Goldilocks. I've got the badge and the very bossy voice that comes with the job. You trying out for the Pufflehuffs this year?

[He knows it's hufflepuffs. But pufflehuffs is more fun to say.]

Oh! Excellent stuff, then!

[It gets a giggle out of her, at least, so she can't mind too much, right?]

Nah. I love to fly, but I'm not sure I'd be the Quidditch sort.

Very excellent.

[It's either all his charm, or the fact it's just a funny word that's got her giggling for sure.]

Oh I don't know about that, you're like a small bird, you'd probably be pretty good at being a seeker. You know, just a guess and all.

[Surprisingly, his calling her a bird really isn't him flirting. Because he's talking quidditch, and now he's captain it means serious business.]

[She just figures he means it to further push how small she is.]

Well, thanks! Maybe next year... I also have prefect duties and all now.

Prefect, nice. So we both get to be part of the very shiny badge brigade. Well that's always, you know. Neat.

You'll come to the games though of course? Cheering for me and my merry band of broom riders when we aren't trying to take on Huffle's naturally.

Very neat!

Well, my best friend is a Gryffindor. [She smirks.] So I don't know...

All that means is that when we play Gryffindor, you cheer for the current high scorer.

[He gives her a playful grin.]

That way, no hard feelings for either side.

Well... I guess that's fair. [She grins.] I really can't wait for matches to start.

I guess I can't either. I think this is going to be a very interesting game year.

[He gives a very pleased grin.]
