Cass walked towards the Quidditch pitch with a smile on her face. It was a wonderful day. The sun was out, the skys were blue, and the were was just enough wind to keep it cool. Which was good, since Quidditch uniforms tended to get hot after a while. She continued to walk towards the pitch, letting the wind tousle her hair. The bottom of her broom grazed the grass.
Oh, she really wished she had someone to practice with, but most of Gryffindor Quidditch team was busy at the time. Getting closer, she saw someone coming towards her. Getting closer to them, she yelled, " Hi!". She hoped this would grab their attention.

Pyro walked down the courtyard towards the quidditch pitch. His firebolt slung across one shoulder, Miaka sitting on the other. It was to great a day, he had to be up in the air flying. To not be flying would be a crime. Miaka glanced around and would playfully peck at his ear every now and than.
Off in the distance he noticed someone also heading to the pitch. After a while they seemed to notice him and they yelled to him. he knew that voice. Cassandra. He moved closer. "Hey." He said back, "What brings you out here?"

She smiled at him smuggly. " Hey doll!" She winked at him. " I'm apparently here to take you down today. See you changed out of the great looking slippers. Find any snorgels in your hair?"
She looked him up and down. " So, two new toys huh? A phoenix and a Firebolt? Wow, it must be good being Pyro Whathisname." She smiled at him affectionately.
She walked up to him and began to put her hand up to the bird. " What her name? Do you think it will bite me. I've never seen a phoenix before. I just bought an owl; so, I know all about new pets."

He arched an eyebrow at her. "Take me down? Last time I checked Ive taken you down in everything youve ever challenged me too" He glanced at Miaka. "I've had this firebolt for a while now."
He watched Cass reach out a hand to pet Miaka. Would Miaka mind? Ofcourse not, she was a attention hog. Although she did seem to be able to sense who Pyro didnt like at that moment and so she didnt like that person either. At the moment Pyro had nothing against Cass so Miaka wouldnt mind. Pyro shook his head. "Nah, she wont bite, although she might if you call her an 'it' agian. Her names Miaka."

Cassandra reached up to pet the phoenix. It seemed to enjoy the attention. " Miaka, huh? Sorry, no offense meant." She smiled at Pyro mischeviously. " You've had a Firebolt for a while. I was only able to afford this Nimbus second hand. I got lucky though. Someon from the national team was selling it. He had decided he wanted to keep himself intact for the rest of his life."
The phoenix cooed. " So, who'd you get Miaka from? She a sweetheart. So, you for some practice. I need to stretch my wings. This little bird should be doing that as well."

"Yea, well. The Blackfire family does have a great fortune." He smirked slightly and looked up at Miaka. " I ran into a animal trader in Hogsmeade one day. He said he couldnt keep her, so he gave her to me. For free. It was a complete shock to me."
His smirk grew. "You know Im always open to whoop your butt....er...Practice quidditch."

Cass' jaw dropped at the conotation. " Me? Whoop me? I think that's one thing that shan't be happening?" She mocked appalled very well. She hopped on her broom and took off. " Try to keep up!"
Her hair flew out behind her as she headed toward the pitch. Doing a quick loop around, she looked back to see if Pyro was keeping up.

He smirked at her. "Try and keep up? I can keep up with you even If I didnt have a firebolt." He lept onto his broom. Forcing Miaka to fly off his shoulder and take to the air.
Pyro launched into the air and followed Cass. He kept up with her easily. He even passed her for a second but than gave her the lead again. He hovered across from her. "Well, that was patheticaly easy."

Cass shoved Pyro in the shoulder hard as she passed him. " I'm not even warped up yet. So, don't you think its a little odd that someone just gave you a phoenix? I mean, you can't trust people nowadays." The concern was reflected in her voice.
She took off again, knowing that he would follow her. " Just think, you can look forward to me all this summer at Dana's?"

Pyro thought for a moment. The thought had crossed his mind. He looked over at Miaka and grinned. "Yea, it is pretty wierd, but hey, I got a Phoenix out of it." His grin grew. "And nothing you say is going to get me to get rid of her so you can swoop in and take her."
She flew off and he hovered there. Registering her sentance. He took off after her. "What now?"

Cass smiled mischeviously, backing her broom up a bit. " Didn't you hear? I'm going to be spending some time at Dana's this summer. She asked my mother in Diagon Alley the other day."
She looped around him lazily. " God, you have to put up with the mudblood all summ- Agh!" He broom suddenly gave a wild buck. Slipping off the right side, she made a mad reach for the broom, but missed. Screaming, she looked at the ground trying to find a way to end the fall.

He arched an eyebrow. "Oh really? Well ill be at Mary's, so unless the two decide to visit each other. We probably wont run into each other."
He eyed her as she looped around him. He was about to answer her with "Oh great, I go to Mary's to escape you mudbloods and now I have to spend the summer with one" when suddenly he felt a sharp change of the wind and managed to correct his broom before it went otu of control. A glance at Cass told him she didnt do to well at that.
Her broom gave a buck and she sliped off the edge and missed a grab at her broom. He leaned foreward and went into a dive that was faster than her fall and got his broom underneath of her. Cass fell easily into his waiting arms. His broom droped a bit with the added wait but easily held the two of them. He caught her cradle style one arm under her knees, and the other under her upper back. He looked down at her face and gave a amuesed smile.
"Falling for me now are we?"

Cass continued to scream until she felt the end of the fall. She squeezed her eyes shut in anticipation of the sickening crunch of her bones as she hit the ground. But the crunch never came. She opened her eyes to look Pyro in the face and his smarmy remark. In a very airy and a surprised, unbelieving voice, " I fell a long time ago."
She finally came to her senses. Oh God, I'm never going to live this down. She watched as her broom fell out of the sky and landed with a crash on the ground. Blood rushed to her face and she blushed deeply.
" I guess I can count on you to catch me when I fall."

Pyro looked down at Cassandra and grinned. "Alright, its a deal, for every Gryffindor game, ill sit in the crowd with my broom so that if you fall I can catch ya." Pyro looked over and watch the wind take her broom down. He winced as it crashed into the ground.
He looked down at Cass again as his broom began to slower drift down towards the ground. His feet touched ground and his broom continued to drift down, leaving his standing on the field with his broom laying on the ground between his legs. He set Cassandra back down onto the ground. "I think you better stay with your feet planted firmly on the ground."

Cass shook her head as Pyro lowered her legs to the ground. " I'm never going to live this down, am I?"
She walked over and picked up her Nimbus. After pulling straight a couple of askew twigs. " Don't tell anyone I did that. I'll never live this down. I never even felt that gust of wind coming."
She smiled at him. " I wouldn't sit in the stands with your broom. People may start talking. Don't you think we've cause enough rumors?"

He grinned and shook his head. "No, no your really not."
He picked up his broom and sat on it, legs dangling from one side as he hovered a few feet in the air. He shruged at her. "I suppose we've started some rumors, couldnt hurt to cause anymore." He added with a sly grin.

Cass smiled that fabulous smile of hers. " More rumors? I'm pretty sure they will still be following us when your working for the Ministry and I'm a famous fashion designer."
Placing he broom on the ground, she commanded, " Up!" The broom obeyed by promptly going to her hand. " Doesn't look like anything's broken. I hope it isn't. I really can't afford to buy another broom. It nearly broke my mother buying this one. Nimbus' second hand our still really expensive."
Mounting her broom, she looked at him mischeviously. " Another round?" She hovered a few feet of the ground.

He thought for a moment. "A job at the ministry huh? Sounds cool." He arched an eyebrow at her. "Hey, I thought you didnt want to be a fashion designer. Didnt you want to be like a healer or something?"
He watched her retrieve her broom. She climbed onto her broom and with a grin asked him to another round. He smirked and swung completly onto his broom. "As long as you dont fall again." He said as he took off into the air.

Cass flew lazily around the pitch in a very half-hearted loop. She turned around and looked at Pyro. " Yeah, I do want to be a healer, but lets be real. It's probably something I'll never be able to do. I should probably focus on what I'm good at."
She smiled at him warmly. " It's just time to start being realistic. I'm never going to be fully accepted into the wizarding community. You know, because of what I am." She averted her gaze and blushed a bit.
" I do enjoy designing; so, maybe I should concentrate on that. It just fits with me."

Pyro followed lazily behind her. He stoped and listened to her. "You never know, practice is the key to being good at most things." He flew around her. "And besides, pure wizard blood is counting for less and less nowadays. Any muggleborn can become something."
He stoped his flight and looked at her. "But, its your choice, do what you wish."
