Dreaming in the Sand [Open]

[amelia]

It was a day to prove herself to her parents or at least to herself. Amelia was standing out in the Quidditch pitch wanting to try her hand at some Quidditch, but she didn’t have a broom to fly with. This major flaw to her plan was going to prove difficult. Amelia got a bit depressed that she forgot to think this trough so she decided to walk around the Quidditch pitch for a while. As she walked along the pitch she couldn’t help and wonder if she could be good enough to try for the Quidditch team next year. Her brother Andre and Daniel were very good Quidditch players in fact they were professionals! If Amelia wanted to be as good as her older brothers she would have to become a part of the Quidditch team for her house.

Amelia sat down near one of the goal posts touching the white clear sand and wondering how old this Quidditch pitch was. As the grains of sand fell through her hand she was reminded of when she picked up some of the gravel that sat near the river that went through their home. She was at peace as she felt a slight wind blow through her hair. She swore she could smell the flowers that bloomed in the spring time in her home. Amelia pictured herself outside her home sitting near a very beautiful section of roses that her mother would pick this time of year. In her mind she could see her mother using her wand to do some laundry and her father sitting in his chair smoking on his pipe. Her siblings each doing things that made them happy and little Sarah laughing as she played with a butterfly that seemed to fly around her itty bitty head. Amelia was day dreaming now as her eyes started to close. She was losing all feeling from her surroundings as she was thinking about how much she missed her home. As the little girl continued to remember her home she dozed off into a slight sleep.

As usual, Mikah made time to practice quidditch. It is one of her favorite things to do while at Hogwarts, and she liked the feeling of flying. While flying Mikah didn't have to think about the upcoming OWLs this year, or the drama at school, or schoolwork in fact. As each year at Hogwarts progressed, the pressure of being a student grew as well. Quidditch is one thing that Mikah never wants to give up... even before her third year, Mikah had been practicing. She has a brother, Shane, who helped her with the techniques when it comes to being a chaser. It was because of him that Mikah made the team in her third year. Now, Shane is a professional quidditch player... Mikah hopes to become one as well.

The Ravenclaw walked to the pitch, and surprisingly, it was empty. Usually there would be tons of people just practicing... but apparently not today! Mikah was pretty happy that she had the pitch all to herself. She kicked off the ground and flew a practice lap, flying up and down and during that time she even did a loop-de-loop. Oh, yes, the trill of flying. It wasn't long before she realized she wasn't the only person at the pitch though. There was a little girl, lying in the sand. Now that's a strange sight. People don't come to the pitch to sleep; plus they usually have a broom. Mikah landed and made her way to the little girl; a first year by the looks of it, for she had never seen her around before. "Hey," she called out softly, nudging her a little. "Wake up," she said, though not unkindly. She felt a little bad about having to wake the little girl up, because who likes being disturbed when they're asleep? However, Quidditch pitches are not the ideal place to sleep... there could be stray bludgers if other students are around.
