Nina beamed as she walked out on the Pitch again. She beamed every time she walked out on it. Nina had one dream and one dream only in life, and that was to be a Professional Quidditch Player. She ate, drank, and breathed the sport. She had been a fan since she was able to walk, and had been playing for Gryffindor since her Third Year. She was proud to represent the team as a Chaser, and there was a good reason for her to be called "The Speed Demon." Once the girl was on her came, she could really burn up the Pitch... metaphorically speaking of course.
Today was a bit of light, unofficial practice. She actually not only invited some of the players from her own House there, but a few from the other Houses. She actually got along with several of them quite well. Yes they were adversaries in a competitive sense, but Nina wasn't one to despise someone else just because they were on another Quidditch Team. She loved practicing with others for fun as long as they were there for the same reason.
Nina walked on to the Pitch, a broom in one hand and her other arm holding her chimp Amadeus.
"How long is this going to take?" asked the chimp, communicating with Nina due to her ability to speak to apes. "It's chilly out here."
"Oh you don't mind the cold," chuckled Nina. "You just don't want to watch me practice on the Pitch."
"Of course I don't!" said Amadeus. "Dangerous sport this Quidditch. Suppose you fall off your broom or get hit by one of those Bludgers. It will kill me, it will."
"Maybe me too..." muttered Nina.
"Oh stop it!" grumbled the chimp.
"Don't worry, love," she said, kissing his forehead and placing him on a bench. "I'll be fine. Now eat your pineapple and banana slices while I prep my Nimbus."
Amadeus sighed, but then began working on his snack.
