The air was crisp and beginning to cool down as autumn swept over the grounds of Hogwarts. Andromeda believed it to be the best time to practice for Quidditch. Her mother had thrown quite the satisfying fit when she learned her beloved daughter had tried out for such an unladylike sport. It was one of the few times she had openly disobeyed her parents, and she relished the the satisfaction she got from it. No, she was not nearly as daring as her cousin Sirius, but she liked to think she came somewhat close. Her lips quirked into an amused smile as she patted down her emerald robes. Hopefully the extra practice would ensure that she would be able to beat Gryffindor in the next match.
At least her parents had paid for her broom, since they would never allow for their daughter to have less than the best. Even if it was for Quidditch. Andromeda reached down to grab her Nimbus 1001 and seated herself comfortably on it. Thanks to her favorite cousin, she had been given a snitch ‘borrowed’ from the storage shed. She did not wish to know how he had gotten in there, so she had not asked. The snitch fluttered eagerly in her hand to be released. Suppressing a grin, Andromeda released the snitch from her hand to watch it take off. She gave it at least a two minute head start before she quickly pushed herself off of the ground.
Grey eyes narrowed as she paused in the air to look for a blur of gold. Andromeda narrowed in on the snitch hovering on the other side of the field by the goal posts. She leaned forward and flew towards the opposite end of the field. The snitch seemed to sense her coming close and darted downward. Andromeda certainly was accustomed to diving down for the sneaky sphere as it darted all around the pitch. Her fingers closed in over the struggling snitch before she pulled herself up from her dive. Pink lips curled into a bright smile before releasing the snitch again to continue her practice.
