A bad day was indeed what Charlotte had had. It had been so dull. Classes were over, yes, but now what else was there to do? Because she had been milling around the common room all day, the brunette had found herself under people's feet without meaning to, and got annoyed with her easily.
On top of that, the Hufflepuff had lost a shoe. "Fantastic," she muttered, throwing the other one back into her trunk. The plan had been to go for a walk around the grounds, but the sight of her broom meant that a new idea came to her mind. After the game the previous week, Chal knew she needed some shooting practise if she was going to get past the Gryffindor keeper in the second round of games.
Collecting her broom and changing into some clothes more suitable for practising in, the small girl headed down to the Stadium, stopping off at the equipment cupboard on the way to pick up the Quaffle.
Shielding her eyes from the sun with her hand, Charlotte looked up at the goal hoops. "This game... this game I'll get it in," she whispered to herself, as she put on her gloves and prepared to mount her broom to begin flying.
"You know, little girl, you might not have to worry about getting it in." Came a cheery voice from behind her. Standing behind her, close enough to hear her whisper, Orifiel smiled slightly; having easily strode up behind her while she was prepping herself for practice,. He had his knees bent so their heads were about even, otherwise he would have towered high above her. “Especially if I’m there on your team to do it for you.”
"You're that little Hufflepuff girl, aren't you? I know a student when I see one. Come, child," he said, waving his right hand slightly, showing off the broom he held, "Let us practice this little game, for very soon we will have a match together, now won't we? It’s a perfectly beautiful day, although I wonder which of us would do best in goal; supposing, of course, you even want to try practicing shooting. Come now, mount your broom, I grow impatient rather easily.”

"Jeez you think highly of yourself, don'tcha?" Charlotte asked, raising an eyebrow at the male who had approached her. Putting one leg over her broom and sitting on it for a second, the brunette looked up. "Do I even dare to ask how you know I'm that little Hufflepuff girl? Seems like I've been known before I've been met."
Shrugging it off but still expecting an answer, Charlotte kicked off into the sky. "C'mon then, let's get going. It's not as if we've got all day, I'm sure."
"Yes, as a matter of fact I do," he said in an almost overly cheerful voice, "After all, you are quite short, if I do say so myself. So I suppose I am higher than anyone else on your team; or your school, for that matter."
Orifiel followed suit and put one leg over his broom, lifting off from the ground with a slight twitch from his feet. One hand holding his wide-brimmed hat to his head to prevent it from blowing away, he swerved in front of Charlotte to cut her off. "You are that little Hufflepuff girl because, being a teacher, I have heard a small bit about you. As for being the little one, it's like I stated before; you are very much shorter than me, thus little."
"Now," he said, urging his broom a bit closer to the goal hoops, "Toss me that little ball and get in goal, I need to do a bit of warming up."
ooc: Now now now, have you learned nothing from Sylph? Never debase your posts or apologize for non-existent problems. Your post is absolutely fine. It says everything that needs be said and thus couldn't be any better.
