[di_intraining]

TONE: Fun, learning.
RATING: G
WHEN: Backdated before the shadow event.
WHERE: Quidditch pitch
WHAT: Greg's teaching Norman how to play some Quidditch for the first time!
STATUS: Ongoing

[Greg stood up and stretched his arms, wincing at that crack sound before he shook his arms and finished the rest of his warm-ups. He was down early at the pitch, waiting for Norman to appear so that he could teach the first-year some basic Quidditch and flying. Next to Greg is a line-up of different brooms, all school property of course, but different brooms had different advantages and disadvantages, and it was important to find one that Norman was comfortable with riding.

The morning mist had just disappeared, leaving a trail of dew drops wherever Greg stepped as he looked out for the bitty Puff, that familiar thrill starting to appear as the appointed time neared and it was soon to be time to fly.]

[Norman had been pretty hesitant about the idea of playing Quidditch. Sure, it looked fun from the bleachers, but it also looked pretty dangerous and he didn't know if he was quite up to snuff to take a hit from one of those bludgers, yikes.

However, his upperclassman insisted on at least giving it a shot and, while he was kind of worried, he did want to try. He wasn't bad at flying- he was still in the beginner classes obviously, being a first year, but he'd yet to have any bad accidents or fall off his broom.]

[He made his way into the pitch with urgency, taking care that he not be late. He didn't want to have Greg wait on him when he'd been nice enough to offer to teach him.]
