✽Now it was time. There was no more time to admire the beautiful skyline. No more time to had fun yet idle chatter. It was time to get down to business and find that snitch. A fluttering golden ball Avery had always loved the idea and act of chasing ever since she could remember. It was an amazing experience. The rush of the wind in her ears as she soared through the sky. Deep into the chase and never allowing herself a moment of distraction. Distraction led to disaster and disaster led to no snitch captured for her team.
Avery didn't know where to start her search. The snitch always had a history of doing the exact opposite of what was expected. That was the way things rolled. Unpredictable. Maybe that was why Avery loved her job so much. Every time she played was a different scenario with two never being the same. That made things interesting and kept her on her toes as she prepared for the snitch's next antic.
This moment brought Avery back to the first time she'd ever chased a snitch with another person. It felt so long ago way back in her first year. She had been pretty clueless back then to how Quidditch really worked on the field with all its fouls and crazy moves. The girl she had ridden with that day had shown only a piece of that world Avery later came to know well after her first game ended badly with the majority of her team dumped to the ground below. It had been a terrible outcome for the Gryffindors, but it had been Avery's first game. A game she would never forget and learn the mistakes from.
Though now wasn't her first game or her first time searching for the snitch. She had done it hundreds of times by now and could only hope that she or Rosaline could find it quickly. Then the real fun would begin.

How It Always Begins
Banner by amazing Lucille Rosenhart<3
The wind was pleasant in this season. Her hair was blown by the gentle wind. Tucking a strand of her chestnut-brown hair, she saw that Avery had already started searching for that little golden ball. It was time to act. There was no time to waste. It was truly a different experience from what she had played before. The matches between her and her cousins were always quite mild because they were much older than her, and they didn’t want to see her hurt or anything. Although the practice right now was still very friendly, quietly, it had the tension of a competition. Rosaline liked to win, and she’d try her best for it.
Rosaline observed around her. There was no sign of the Snitch. She soared in another direction. Still, the Snitch hid as if it determined not to be found. Trying to think of how she grabbed the Snitch last time she played as a Seeker, she concentrated on the flying patterns of the Snitch. Rosaline recalled the cold feeling of the golden ball when she caught it. It didn’t like to be found, yet sometimes it would even be a little mischievous, flying to a place easy to catch. Rosaline attempted again, looking around. Nonetheless, the action was futile.
The young lioness signed and turned in another direction. It must be near them. She believed so. A robin flew past her toward Avery. Rosaline’s sight followed the little bird and noticed Avery seemed to be in the same trouble as her. It didn’t give her any clue about where the Snitch was, yet the presence of the little bird was already enough to loosen her nerves. She hoped both of them would have better luck at their next try.
