What a hassle!!

Gryffindor|First year|N/A
Ira had the school broom with her. She wanted to try this since ages. Of course she has a good experience on brooms. The girl has been renowned to beat her opponents down with bludgers, she had to sign up for Quidditch at school too.
So Ira carried the small, simple broom with her as soon as she was selected to be appointed as a Quidditch player sooner or later. She was still waiting for the confirmation but she had her hopes high, she knew she could do it.
The weather was calm, not too cloudy or windy but peaceful enough for a flying practice. Ira wore brown boots, buttoned white shirt, black trousers and hair tied to a ponytail. Perfect attire for riding a broom.
"Up!" a smile spread across her face as the broom abided by her, getting clutched by her hands. She sat comfortably on the broom, making sure she doesn't fall and up she went!
The winds caressed her face and she giggled with great joy. She was feeling herself to be over the clouds. She used to fly around her house when her mother scolded her for her mischief. Her friends would accompany her on brooms whenever they had to run for an errand.
She was enjoying herself and as valiant as she is, she flung her hands, both hands up in the air like she is some kind of main character from a fantasy novel.
"Wooohooo!!" Then the unthinkable happened. She slipped. The broom flew straight to a nearby tree and she fell with a loud thud on the green grass.
"Wait what's happening?" she thought looking confused as if she herself wasn't the reason behind this mishap.
Just then she heard someone laughing nearby. Annoyed and frustrated, a little embarrassed too Ira looked behind her. She isnt exactly the type of girl who would say she was in the wrong even if she was. And somebody witnessing her fail? Never. Ira would rather burying herself underground than show other people this side of herself. As she turned, she saw a young boy standing few feet away from her. She sat up in sheer anger and called out to him while he kept on laughing.
"Hey! You know its not funny to laugh at somebody! Who are you? Just get lost if you will continue to laugh at me like this." she exclaimed in fury.

The tree wasnโt particularly tricky, and he soon grew tired of it all. So he settled on a branch and let his legs kick freely in the air. Just then was it that he spotted a fellow Gryffindor making her way with a broom. As the girl seemed excited, his interest piqued, and he narrowed his eyes to pay attention.
The broom snapped up quickly enough. He seldom got the school brooms to react that quickly himself. He thought of the possibility of this girl being better than him, and knocked it aside. He had barely seen her before. Maybe she was a star flyer, or maybe she just had beginners luck. The latter seemed more likely to him, and he attempted to stifle a smile at the possibility of a funny show.
The girl took off easily enough, and his mood was just starting to sour. How was he supposed to have fun watching that?!? He quickly jumped down on the ground, determined to head inside and find better company. That was when his attention once more was called to the flying girl by a yell. He watched as she lifted both hands into the air and fell.
He couldnโt help it, he doubled over in laughter. A funnier scene would be hard to find, and it was just so hilarious how the girl had all but posed for victory before slipping. He laughed so hard, and for so long, that he had to grasp his stomach to dampen the pain.
Now, the girl hadnโt flown so high that she could have easily escaped any possible injury. Still, he attempted to straighten out and stifle the laughter when she yelled at him. ยซSorry, but it just looked so funny!ยป He wiped a tear of laughter from his face, and snickered a bit more before he stepped forwards.
ยซYouโre not hurt, right?ยป It would have to be a pretty silly injury from that height, but it was the polite thing to make sure. ยซYou looked pretty good up there. At least until you raised your handsโฆยป The last comment was cut off by a snort of laughter.

Ira brushed off all the dust and dirt from her clothes and stood up. Annoyance written all over her face as she glared at the guy who was shamelessly still laughing. Her brow curled, her face red with anger and embarrassment, her piercing gaze can shoot fire at any moment, she silently stood for a moment before his laughter came to an end.Ira Ray______________________________________

"Oh so its fun for you to witness someone getting hurt?" she angrily remarked since her pride was hurt. Ira Ray, the mastermind behind all sorts of pranking, teasing, mischiefs who was now being laughed at like this seemed absolutely erroneous!
Altho mad, she softened her expression when she heard him ask about her wellbeing.
"I guess he isnt that bad", she thought. She is the type to get furious in seconds and forget about it in nanoseconds. Ira has a short temper and a huge pride but that does not stand a chance in front of her forgiving and fiercely loyal nature.
"Yea I am-" she couldnt even finish her sentence when the guy started to laugh again. Ira was burning in fury. She couldnt believe herself for having the slightest thought of forgiveness, after such audacity!
"Heh! You laugh as if you are some kind of a prodigy or something! I wanna see YOU on a broom, I will see how far you can fly." she challenged him standing her ground,hands on her hips and a grin on her face. She could easily beat 2-3 players at once back at home. She was sure, an average looking guy like him will stand no chance.
"What, are you scared now? Are you scared that you will be embarrassed for your incompetence?" she asked boastfully, fully confident in her skills.

He gathered himself as much as he was able. Still chuckling a bit he straightened up and looked properly at her. She did indeed seem to be okay. That was good. He would have felt awful if she had actually hurt herself. He was still in the middle of this when a challenge was presented to him. His eyes lit up at the suggestion. Now it wasnโt stated as a competition, but that was nonetheless what he saw it as. He was all ready to come with a comment he himself thought was funny when he was called a chicken.
He clenced his fists for a moment, staring at her with narrowed eyes. ยซIโm no scaredy-cat! Just let me show you!ยป With that he turned on his heel and marched toward the tree the broom had landed in. It wasnโt particularly high up, so climbing up was quick work after a moment of looking for the easiest path.
Balancing on a branch, he grabbed a hold of the broom. The sensible thing would be to climb down before taking off. Sadly, Max was rarely sensible by default. Planting a hand on the trunk of the tree, he swung a leg over the broom and positioned himself. Shifting his focus for a moment he tried to lock eyes with the girl on the ground. ยซJust you watch, and weโll see who the better flier is!ยป With that he jumped off the branch.
He didnโt know quite what he had expected. For the broom to halt mid-air perhaps. That didnโt happen. A second of flailing passed, and he started to panic. He locked arms and legs around the broom and incled it upwards the best he could. Maybe brooms just didnโt work like this, or maybe the school brooms were really that slow. No matter, he fell far enough for his toes to scrape the grass before the broom shot up.
The relief surged and he heaved a breath. Taking a moment to just relish the fact that he was alive, and didnโt make a fool of himself, he soared overhead. The wind in his hair was just about the best feeling he knew. He loved it more than most things. After about a moment he got control over the urge to throw his hands up in relief. Slowing down, he circled back and lowered to the ground.
With a satisfied smile he stepped off the broom. The whole scene had played out like some big action-filled maneuver in his head, and he gave little thought to how it might have been perceived by the lioness. ยซThereยป He said with a bit of a smirk. ยซThatโs how itโs done!ยป

Ira wanted to see if he was capable of actually doing something fruitful instead of laughing like an idiot. She was standing on the same spot, hands on her waist and pouting in annoyance. The boy had easily climbed up the tree to grab the school broom but this wasnt enough to impress Ira. She had all the kids mesmerised by her bludgering skills and how fast she could fly with her broom at home. Her mother would take hers away whenever she would pull weird pranks on her little brother and did not let her have the broom at school cuz she was not mature enough to handle it.Ira Ray______________________________________

The boy leaped off the tree mounting the broom and for a second Ira thought it was impossible he pulls this off without getting a scratch. Although to her great dismay, the guy had succeeded in doing so.
"Wow" she involuntarily mumbled; loudly enough for the boy to hear her. She did not even realise that she had said it out loud.
Ira loved heroic stances, especially in flying and duelling. For a moment her annoyance and pouting were all gone and her mouth remained slightly open, perplexed at the sight of the boy's wonderful flight.
"Not bad." she said quickly regaining her composure.
"I am sure you were just lucky. But I will give you this one." she did not want to shower him with praises after all those proud boasting she had done a few minutes ago.
"I am Ira Ray, First year Gryffindor." she said with a stern look to imply that just now she was not impressed at all and stretched her hand out for a handshake, "It seems like you are worthy of my friendship."
Mind you, all the humans and animals are worthy of her friendship. She does this to look 'cool', 'calm' and 'collected', all the Cs that are absent from her life except for maybe her grades.

He hid a low ยซPfft!ยป at her comment of him being lucky. Luck had nothing to do with it. It was all skill, and training, andโฆ definitely luck. The family broom was not the fastest either, not by a long shot. But he knew his way around a broom well enough. Adequate to throw himself out of a tree to look cool. Had he been the sort of person to pause and think about his choices on a semi-regular basis he might have seen how stupid the move had truly been. But he succeeded, and thereby the brainpower was diverted elsewhere.
He grabbed her hand when she offered it, and gave it a firm shake. That was what he had been taught to do. Only problem was that he held on for just long enough for the situation to become awkward, at least to him. He then let go of her hand as if he had been burned, and dried it off on the leg of his trousers. He looked her over. There was no doubt in that she was a fellow Gryffindor. Yet he didnโt really recognize her. Not that there was anything strange about that. He felt he noticed new faces in every class he attended. It was more probable that he had just forgotten them from one time to the next. But new faces were still new faces, and a new chance to get friends. ยซIโm Maxยป His voice trailed off as he tried to recall his full name. It was as impossible as ever. It was just so long, and he couldnโt remember a single time his parents had used it before he was accepted to Hogwarts. No wonder he missed when his name was called during the sorting ceremony. He shook the thought off, and picked up again. ยซMax Kenneally Vidler, also first year Gryffindor!ยป
He was just about to suggest they hang out, or have a race, or really anything to keep her from leaving, when she said they were friends. That was at least how he interpreted what she said. Why wouldnโt they be? His stunt had been amazing, who wouldnโt want to be friends after all of that? No one. ยซDoes that mean you want another go on the broom?ยป He had meant it honestly, but it came off with a bit of a smirk before he pulled himself together once more. ยซIt can take a bit of time to get used to the movement when youโre new at itยป He knew people came to Hogwarts with all sorts of backgrounds, and he wasnโt about to judge.
