It wasn't like Alex to be so dang absent minded lately, but for some strange reason she had. Hardly able to pay any mind in classes, never watched where she was going, and always ended up in sticky situations she just didn't want to be in. She was looking forward to the birth of her neice and nephew, which seemed to be approaching rather quickly, and couldn't really get her mind focused on anything else. Well, besides James of course.
Alexandra smiled wide as she crossed onto the Quidditch Pitch through the fan's entrance and got out onto the field. She stood somewhere near the middle of it after a short walk and took a look around. She grasped a quaffle in one hand and her broomstick in the other. She loved Quidditch, it was one of her favorite things about the wizarding world in general. Of course, she had no one to play with at the moment, and she needed to get her keeper skills up, even if they hadn't start Quidditch this year.
Alex scratched the back of her neck absently after mounting her broom and she began to fly around, making announcements like a Quidditch announcer would in her head. She threw the quaffle as hard as she could towards the hoops at the end of the field, proving that she wasn't chaser worthy. She had never been very good at that position, so hopefully she'd just be able to stick with keeper for the rest of eternity, as she was quite gifted at it. BLOCK! She had flew fast enough to catch the quaffle before it entered one of the hoops. Not that it was going to pass through anyway. Alexandra's smile became a little wider as she was excited that she'd actually done something good on the Quidditch pitch. WOO! Anyway, Alex flew around absently with the quaffle under her arm as her dark hair, which she'd forgotten to put up in a pony tail, blew up behind her. Alex touched down on the ground after a few minutes of absent minded flying and sat on the ground.
Her brown eyes took themselves around the Quidditch pitch, as though she was going to find something or someone to look on. There was nothing, or so it seemed. She stared up at the hoops, around at the differently decorated towers for fans to sit in. She remembered every time she'd ever actually played Quidditch on this field, and she remembered hearing her name chanted. She always liked that part. Quidditch had been a huge part of Alex's life, ever since her sister and father started to teach her how to play when she was six. They always put her at Keeper position and they would toggle the ball back and forth before trying to put it through the hoops.
A small sigh ran through Alexandra's lips as she looked around, noticing how alone she was. Her knees were bent and her forearms rested on he knees, her hands dangling in front of her, as her broom and quaffle rested next to her.
((FEMI!))

Femi had a late night once again. She's been busy unpacking and rearranging her room to make it feel like she's at home in her own room she calls paradise. She still yet hasn't finished unpacking from her many trunks she brought along with her but she took out toiletry and useful things needed for now..
Walking out of the Ground Floor, Femi made her way to the Quidditch Pitch. She promised her father once she's settled at Hogwarts for another year, she'd go practice her Quidditch uses but she wasn't good she thought to herself. She held her broom in her left hand as she walked onto the pitch.
The pitch looked friggin empty. Usually there'd be an average of 10 kiddos down here practicing but hey, who can blame them? It was a pretty cold November this year. Who'd wanna freeze their bums off whilst sitting on a stick chasing after a ball or two? Femi'd rather be in the Great Hall eating away but hey, practice is good for you so why waste ''precious'' time (:
Femi noticed a girl sitting on the pitch with the broom and quaffle beside her. Femi has hyperopia which sucks because she can't see things from a far distance and she forgot to unpack her glasses 0.o She had no idea who the girl was which also sucked because Femi was skwinting at her. It must of seemed rude to the other girl, she'd probably be thinking, Why's Femi giving me dirty looks? but she'd not really (A)
She approached her and giggled. ''Ooh Alex'', she faded her giggleness and continued on, ''I didn't know it was you, i'm blind'' she goofed off. Femi dropped beside Alex and grinned, ''Haven't seen you in ages, glad to see you again!'' |

Alexandra sighed softly, the grass blowing sightly in the November wind as the weather pulled it's wrath through her dark brown hair. She hadn't yet decided to put it up, so it blew carelessly in the bitter cold wind, which was causing her pale face to turn pink from exposure. Alexandra couldn't help herself from smiling as she knew she heard a rustle in the grass behind her, expecting it to be James. But moments later, a voice reached her ears that she had truthfully and entirely not expected, but it was alright with her anyway.
"Hello, Femi. I can't see very well from far away either, but geez I would have at least been able to make you out." She laughed softly as she stood fast on her feet and mounted her broom again, looking at the other girl. "I'm doing fine, and yeah, I know. It's been a while. We didn't see too much of each other last year, and the summer felt long. How is your sixth year faring for you so far?" Alexandra wondered aloud with a smile.

Femi stood up straight after Alex did. 'Heh, most people are longsightedness nowadays but i suppose it's cool not being the only one'' she said grinning.
''Yeshh, that sucked big time. I wasn't here for much of last year, i was having problems back home and i didn't have time for magic which sucked pri big time as well as. I didn't have much time for anything so i lost most my skills for Quidditch that's why i'm here on the Quidditch Pitch trynna pick up from where i left off but i doubt i'd be any good as before.''
''Sixth year is pretty cool i suppose. I still haven't finished arranging my dorm and i still need to apply for lessons but i don't wanna rush things, last time i did, ehh, too complicated'' Femi grinned. She paused, ''So hows seventh year going for you so far?'' she smiled. |

Alexandra listening carefully as Femi spoke, taking in the different things she was saying. She was actually beginning to wonder why she'd mounted her broom, because she was about to speak again, and she had a feeling this conversation could carry on if she wanted it to. She dismounted and looked at Femi, a small smile breaking over her thin face. "Well, seventh year isn't too bad I suppose. James and I started dating..." Alexandra informed her. Not many people had heard of this new phenomenon. Woah, James Potter finally settled down with only one person, instead of flirting with everyone else. This was a crazy thought, actually.
"Otherwise. Classes are . . . eh." Alex shrugged again, not really sure what she thought about her classes. She wasn't really amused by either of them this year, as she'd only signed up for a few (two, to be honest) and she hadn't got out there and had much fun like she'd promised herself she would. "I'm just.. I don't know. I miss having my sister around all the time, in Gryffindor tower and such." Alex knew that her sister was their Head of House, as well as her Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, but it still sucked not sharing a dorm with her sister and Averie. She didn't have a whole long length of time left to be alone at Hogwarts, so she figured she'd be able to tough it out easy.
