After a good, light breakfast of 6 and a half waffles covered with dark chocolate sauce and chocolate chips with a bottle of fresh pumpkin juice, the first Solo Quidditch practice started. It was a incredible Saturday with the bright rays of the sun, evaporating the rest of the morning dew, perfect weather for a productive practice. Yes, maybe the next game is only at the end of April, and yes, maybe Andy will not even play because of his status on the roster, and yes, Andy could be in the common room with Teddy the cat in front of the fire, drinking peach tea with a bag of peppermint toads but hey, you have to practice someday, so why not get it out of the way and relax the whole day! First, when Andy finally got to the barren field he went to the locker room to get his broom ready. Like always, he took out his wand and cast the cushioning charm. Molliare! He yelled as he felt an invisible pillow rise from the seat. It is always good when your broom is comfortable. Andy went outside of the lockeroom into the pitch and opened the equipment warehouse and got out some targets, which are supposed to be used for dueling, but they are multi-use. He set out the targets all around the field, and took out a huge bag of Quaffles, and a magical ball launcher. Andy took his spot at the southern part of the field, and with a wave of his wand, turned on the ball launcher. The point of the drill was to improve reaction time and accuracy. The boy caught the Quaffle, and then threw it into the targets, and kept score in his head. After a few rounds, his best score was 7/15 targets. Not the best. Then, Andy made the same drill more complex. He now had to hit the Quaffle mid air with the side of his broom. Andy got a 3/15 on that drill. Now, instead of Quaffles, the launcher launched Bludgers, to test Andy's Evasion, something he had to work on. A drill like that sure is risky, but worth all of the time setting it up. Then, Andy took 10 laps around the Quidditch pitch, with his fastest being his fourth lap, at 15 seconds. Andy's broom, the Nimbus 1700, is a pretty new broom, since it only played in 2 games, so it Andy still needed to get used to the broom. That was a very productive training session! I am so reeady for the spring season, even if I spend it on the reserves' bench!
