Quidditch PV James Lachoneus Closed

When James had turned to Kat, she was poking the chest of the armour, her head tilted at the thought before looking at him, listening to him.
'I feel a little bad just calling it 'the suit' or 'the armour'... should we get a name for it?" he asked, looking between the suit and Kat. "And maybe stop calling it 'it'?" he added causing Kat to look back at the armour, "I think its a guy, it- he doesn't have a breastplate that goes out like how a female would," She pointed out, poking the chest again with her black fingernail before smiling "So a guys name would be appropriate, I think." She thought for a minute 
How about Kyle, huh? Huh? 
I'm not naming him after you.
Awwwww. Dang it.
Something that sounds cool since this guy is actually pretty chill.
Phoenix. Said the second voice after a minute, Its an animal, the animal is amazing, beautiful and loads of other stuff. Plus it sounds really nice.
"How about Phoenix?" She asked both the armour and James but she knew it depended on if the armour wanted it or not since they couldn't force it to have that name and if it wanted that name then that was what it would be called.

"I think its a guy, it- he doesn't have a breastplate that goes out like how a female would, So a guys name would be appropriate, I think." Kat said thoughtfully.
James looked and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, so what's a good name for him?"
James took some time thinking of names.
Maxian
Aise
Jackson
These were all characters from James' books that he was writing, so they came to mind first... but none of them seemed to match the suit of armor.
"How about Phoenix?" Kat suddenly asked, breaking James out of his thoughts.

James barely even needed to think about it.
"Wow... Phoenix." he mused, "I think that's a great name! It actually sounds really cool!"
James turned to the armor. 
"So, what do you think?" James asked.
The armor looked up at the ceiling again in thought, and when he looked back down at the two of them, he was nodding vigorously. 
James laughed a little.
"Alright! Phoenix! Our noble protector!" James exclaimed for Phoenix's benefit.
Phoenix looked very proud of this, and a new jump had been added into his step, making him clank a little loudly across the halls.
"Shh!" James prompted urgently.
Phoenix realized his mistake, and quieted down instantly, but James could hear a rattly, high-pitched squeaking coming from inside Phoenix, that James took as muffled laughter. James chuckled along too.
It was then that the broom cupboard came into sight as they rounded one last corner.

Kat chuckled at them, rolling her eyes even though a small smile was tugging at her lips. As they rounded a corner Kat saw the broom cupboard and smiled, walking over to it as she pulled her wand out from her robes, skipping closer to it. "I'm gonna take two, one for me and one for you unless you don't wanna fly?" She asked, turning back to look at James, a small smile resting on her face as she motioned with her wand towards the cupboard "But I would suggest standing back since I haven't mastered this spell yet, though I know how to use it, I'm not sure it'll work entirely as planned. Though it should work." she said, not liking to admit that she hadn't mastered the spell yet and had to hope that it was going to work and not backfire on her. 
And here's to hoping that we don't die!
It's a simple spell!
That you haven't mastered yet. There is no guarantee that it won't backfire, or you'll say the wrong word and it'll do a different spell.
Kat frowned at the voice, mumbling to herself as she glared at the floor before being brought back to reality by James speaking.

"I'm gonna take two, one for me and one for you unless you don't wanna fly?" Kat said to James.
James nodded his head. "No, I want to fly! Let's do it!" The excitement was really starting to get to him.
James stepped back obediently when she offered to do the spell. James didn't know what spell she was referring to, but that's because he had only heard of a few.
"Yeah, you'd better do it." he agreed. "The only spell I've been able to do is the levitation one.. you know, Wingardium Leviosa..."
It was true. James had only learned Wingardium Leviosa. He was currently trying Expelliarmus, but hadn't quite gotten it yet. He still wasn't too confident in his magical abilities, and he was pretty convinced that he wouldn't get much better soon, because he was raised almost entirely muggle.
James stepped back with Phoneix against the wall and nodded towards Kat.
"Alright..." he said, "Do it."
James held his breath, waiting to see what she would do and how their little adventure would go from here... get caught, fly around, or some other third option James couldn't think of right now.

Kat nodded to James, feeling her nerves buzz as she sighed, trying to keep her nerves in check
You can't do a spell while you're nervous.
I'm well aware of that.
Kat thought of the spell and how it was supposed to work, she had used it a few times before and practised using it but she had always been left alone to do so. She never had to worry about it hurting someone else or being embarrassed if it backfired or didn't work, she just had to get angry with herself when she didn't do it right. 
You've been able to do it for the last few times without any problems. You should be fine.
But if he gets hurt...
He won't. Stop thinking. Just do the spell and be done with it.
Kat readied herself in front of the door, it was a simple spell and was fairly easy to do so long as it was practised but to do any spell you needed confidence, the thing that Kat was lacking at the moment but she pushed it aside and pointed her wand at the door, saying the spell.
"Alohomora," She said, causing the lock on the door to open, letting it be taken off easily.
Simple and effective.
Why do I always worry?
Because you don't want your friends to get hurt instead of your foes. In this case, a lock. The voice laughed and Kat took the lock off of the door, handing a broom to James and grabbing one for herself, smiling. 
"Ready?" She asked, putting the lock back on the door so that it wouldn't look suspicious.

James watched as Kat pointed her wand at the door. James was honestly excited to see what magic she would do now. He watched and listened as she did the spell.
"Alohomora," she said. She performed a wand movement that at first looked like a weird "s" shape. After considering it a little longer, he realized it looked a bit like a rounded lock with the top ring unlatched.
James didn't know if this would help him learn the spell himself, but he guessed it wouldn't hurt to try and pay attention.
The lock fell off with a clank and Kat pulled out two brooms, one for her and one for him. He accepted it gratefully. This hadn't been his first time touching a magical broomstick, but his first time holding one. He lightly brushed his hand down the wood, feeling the length of the broom.
"Ready?" he heard Kat ask.
James looked up at her from the broom and a grin spread across his face.
"Yeah. I'm ready." he said. Phoenix clapped quietly behind them, and James wondered if Phoenix could tell how loud he actually was.
James held the broom to his side and assumed a ready position.
"Let's go!"

Kat chuckled, shaking her head slightly as she started to walk, holding the broom by her side nonchalantly as she stuffed her wand back into her robes. 
So... What're you gon' do if you get caught?
Shut up, Kyle... 
You should have a plan ready.
Flying off.
A real plan.
Hoping they don't see my face?
You're hopeless.
Kat huffed softly before shaking her head, looking over at who she now considered her friends and looped her arm with James' and looped the other in the arm of Phoenix, holding the broom in her hand that was closest to Phoenix.

Kat smiled at them "You both are too much," she joked, tucking some of her hair behind her ear, not realising that she had done it until a few seconds later and she was itching to move it back into place but had made a silent promise to herself to not worry too much about the eye and act like a normal child... Well, as normal as a person can get when they have a voice in their head that the named Kyle. She glanced at James, trying to get her heart pumping again and keep the excitement pumping through her veins so that she wouldn't start being a bummer.  

James had to stop himself multiple times from skipping or hopping with excitement as the made their way through the castle towards the outside. Eventually, he couldn’t help it and just let it happen.
“You both are too much.” Kat joked.
James nodded, smiling back at her, happy to see her smiling too, so naturally and nice!
“I know that!” James answered. Looking over at Kat, he noticed that she wasn’t trying to hide her red eye anymore. James hadn’t ever gotten a good look at it, but now, he could. He looked into it, not sure if Kat could see him looking at it. James pondered on it in his mind. He could see why people might be afraid of it. It wasn’t normal. People tend to be afraid of things that aren’t normal.
But as James gazed at Kat, he wasn’t afraid. He looked at her and didn’t see anything wrong. He looked at her and saw his friend.

Throughout their journey to the exit/entrance of the castle, Phoenix took the initiative to scout ahead at certain points to make sure the coast was clear. Eventually, they got out of the large castle doors, and James was surprised they did so without getting caught at all!

Kat noticed how James had stared at her eye yet he didn't flinch away or suddenly say that he wanted to go or say anything about it, causing Kat to smile, looking away from him as she glanced around the corridors, listening intently to see if anyone was coming. Once they got out of the castle Kat breathed a sigh of relief, looking around. She had half expected to get caught and to see that it hadn't happened yet was fairly good news. She ruffled James' hair, letting go of both of their arms since she had kept reconnecting them each time Phoenix rejoined them after he made sure the coast was clear for them. 

"Quidditch Arena?" Kat asked, looking over at James, a small smile playing on her lips as she thought of when she would become a second year and be able to try out for Quidditch. She didn't stop walking towards the Quidditch arena, if James wanted to go somewhere else, which Kat wouldn't understand since there's almost nowhere else to go, she would follow him, making sure he wouldn't get hurt from falling or anything that would involve the brooms since not only would it trace back to Kat, it would also mean that she was the reason that he was hurt by default. 

James grinned and tried to duck as Kat ruffled his hair. He laughed a bit, letting the wind carry it away as he lifted up his hand in an attempt to fix it, even though he knew any attempt would be in vain. "Quidditch Arena?" Kat asked.
James thought for a moment. He had been interested in the idea of Quidditch but hadn't tried it out yet. Earlier, he had ridden with someone on one broom, them sharing it, but other than that, James had never flown before.
James shrugged in response. "Sure, I guess. I've never actually flown, so we'll see how this goes." he said dangerously optimistic. James started to mount his broom and out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Phoenix shaking his head, or helmet, and looking away.
"Hey!" James protested. "You don't know if I'll do bad!"
Phoenix shrugged as if to say, "I can guess."
James ignored him and gripped the handle tightly. He looked over at Kat.
"Ready?" he asked.
