Valentin didn't go anywhere without his broomstick, simply because he knew he could find a place to practise in any place he went, and he needed to keep up with his practise if he wanted to stay on his school's Quidditch team. He hadn't really thought about what he wanted to do after finishing school, his grandmother had been a professional Quidditch player for a while, and he could imagine doing the same, but he knew he would have to be the best of the best to get picked for any of the more well known teams.

This was Valentin's first time attending one of the visits to Hogwarts, he didn't know what kind of schedule the international schools would follow during their stay, but he imagined they would be given a set amount of free time each day. In any case, he didn't remember any of his professors at Beauxbatons specifically telling them that they shouldn't bring personal broomsticks with them, so obviously it had been the first thing he had set aside to bring with him.

For a while now, Valentin had gotten into the habit of doing his personal Quidditch training before having dinner because he always ended up feeling starving by the end of it. He knew by now that Hogwarts started their dinner at six and figured that about an hour on the pitch would be a good amount of time to spend in the air.

Changed into some warm joggers and a green sweater, he grabbed his broom and left for the area he had been shown was the Quidditch training pitch. As much as he wanted to, Valentin didn't manage to get a hold of a quaffle to use this time so had to settle with just practising various manoeuvres.

Half an hour in and Valentin was taking a short break, hovering several metres in the sky above the middle of the training pitch, leaning back slightly on his broom, allowing his hands to dangle freely by his side. He had been spending his time so far making quick dashes to the scoring hoops, practising some sharp turns around them, and of course working on some tricks. Just before stopping for a break he had been working on his Sloth Grip Roll, pushing himself to see how long he could last hanging upside down on his Nimbus 1700.

Charles loved his broomstick and he loved quidditch. Ever since the blonde nicked a few galleons from his father and bought himself the nimbus 2001, he hadn't let the broom out of his sight so there wasn't any way that he would just leave it at Dumstrang during this trip.

Charles have been itching to give it a ride around the Scottish castle, he was hoping that Drew or Cassie would join him but neither of them really ever shared the Dumstrang's love and passion for quidditch and brooms. Charles decided that day that he would give his broom a fly around the school and practice a bit since he gone far to long without practicing quidditch, afraid that his skills would become rusty if he didn't practice.

Charles changed into some casual clothes, grabbed his brooms and walked through the campgrounds making his way toward the hogwarts quidditch pitch. Charles occasionally wished for a friend or someone that loved the sport as much as they did, that would be up for a race or a practice anytime but unfortunately he didn't have anyone like that..... not that he wasn't happy with the friends he had, he loved Drew and Cassie and Rosella and Ayu and Xeno... his boyfriend who he hadn't seen a lot and was starting to lose contact with. He was glad he had them all but it wasn't same.

Charles saw the pitch and a smile crossed his lips as he approached, stepping onto the field he took a breath and looked around. The feeling felt amzaing to be back at a place where he felt at home.

Charles mounted his broom and pushed off, takimg a steep incline up toward the hoops and sky missing the other there as he took a three quick and speedy sprints around the pitch until drifting toward the center and coming toward a halt.

That's when Charles saw him.

The boy who distracted him at the welcome feast. With dark eyes and dark hair paired with perfectly tan skin.

Charles felt his smile grow a little as he leaned forward a bit and headed toward the ground, smoothly jumping off of his broom still a few feet off the ground. Charles held his broom in one hand and held the other hand out to the beautiful mystery boy as he spoke" its a pleasure to meet you again, I'm Charles Alluring."

Valentin was surprised that there hadn't been any Hogwarts students occupying the pitch when he had arrived. he figured surely someone must have been in the same habit of training before dinner as himself. In any case he was happy to have the pitch to himself, he imagined that the addition of other people, unfamiliar riders to him, whose styles and techniques might not work with his own, would just mess up his training.

When Valentin saw the blonde who had caught his attention during the welcome feast, he watched as the boy quickly completed a few laps around the pitch, content in the fact that he had not yet been spotted by the boy. He certainly knew his way about the broom he was riding, Val chose to assume that he was a fellow Quidditch player, or maybe even broom racer, beside the talent he showed on his broom, he wouldn’t expect very many other international students to bring brooms if they weren’t one of the two.

As the boy drifted towards the middle of the pitch, Valentin, having realised he had been spotted, quickly brought his broom to hover only a couple of meters off the ground to match the height of the boy, who was now closing the distance between them. Just before the boy had reached him, Valentin swung his legs around the broom, landing on the pitch and grabbing his broom.

“Valentin Everbone, we’re finally exchanging names then,” he said to Charles, “feel free to never call me Valentin though, Val’s fine. His hand met Charles’ and gave it a gentle shake, “you’re a Quidditch player aren’t you, or broom racer?” he asked, directing an inquisitive smile towards Charles, “it’s all in the hands,” he joked. He couldn’t really tell anything from the boy’s hands, but he must be a part of one of the sports.

“I couldn’t help but notice you had quite the posse with you that evening,” Valentin said, referring to the welcome dinner, “have you done this school hosting kind of thing before, or are you just really good at making friends?” he asked, laughing a little. “I’ve found that I tend to gravitate towards people similar to myself, which I’m not sure is the best tactic,” he said, “we’re hard to come by,” he added, a coy grin on his face.

Charles felt himself smile at the boy. A strange feeling bubbleing within him as he shook the boy's hand qho introduced himself as Valentin Everbone ams remembered that they saw each other at thr hall. On the first night. The blonde nodded, smiling at the physical touch before pulling his hand away. Sitting relaxed on his hover broom.

Charles smiled a little as he spoke"How about Valentine, a holiday named for you?" A joke. The blonde felt his stomach jerk at the attempt of flirting. What is happening? Usually the blonde could flirt easily with anyone, the words float into his mind then spew from his mouth however with Valentin. Something feot different yet familiar.

A look when Valentin asked if he played quidditch or broom racing, saying something about it being the hands. The blonde popped the collar of his leather jacket as he spoke"quidditch, chaser. You?" The blonde felt like his words are short as he placed his hands back on the broom handle. Struggling with what to say as he smiled, staring at the boy's eyes. The reflection from the sun in them and the glow of his brown hair in the Scottish sun. A sight that widen his smile.

"What can I say, I just radiate energy especially around attractive mates lile yourself," Charles replied smiling at the boy, listening for hints of a accents. Wondering what school he dones from and if it is beauxbation, the blonde is a bit tempted to speak French. To bring his flirting a bit higher as hus mind slipped away from his boyfriend and focused on Valentin. A newfound crush.

Charles thought of his friends, majority of them belonging to a differnt school as he spoke"both although most of of my friends belong to different schools," eyes not leaveing Valentin's as he listened to his voice. His words. Smiling at them, the blond caught his last few words as he inched his broom a little closer then spoke"or the perfect strategy since we're so great." A half smile as he leaned closer on his broom, watching the boy with great interest. His heart wanting to remain there forever but another part of his heart wanting to run. Run toward Xeno.

"What school are you from?"

Spotting the smile on the boy's face only made Valentin's grin widen, he enjoyed witnessing the emotion he would evoke in others, whether it was bad or good, the latter side of the scale was admittedly less common. Valentin wouldn't describe himself as a flirt, well at least not an 'honest' one, he has in the past done the whole flirting charade for fun, he had yet to decide his intentions with the blonde, it took a lot to break through to his actual emotions.

"Yes, I guess my parents wanted me to be quite the romantic," he said maintaining a slight grin, "if I'm being honest, it's still a holiday I've yet to see the appeal for," he admitted, thinking inside that it was only a holiday for those with someone to share it with.

Valentin laughed in amazement on hearing Charles's answer to his question, and there are those that say there is no such thing as coincidence, "believe it or not, but I am also a chaser, clearly the hardest working positions on the team," he joked, still impressed at the chances of them both deciding to train at the same time and being players of the same position.

If Valentin was unsure about Charles's opinion of him before, it was clear to him now, having the blonde reciprocate Valentin's own flirting attempts excited him a little, he wanted to know more about him, 'what a thought,' being interested in someone new. "Hahaha, well, you stand out from your friends," he said rather casually, no one else had caught Valentin's attention in the same way that Charles had during that welcome feast.

Although for most it would seem pretty normal, Valentin found himself feeling slightly impressed at Charles's interschool relations, it was a result of the kind of outgoing, friendly persona Valentin couldn't relate to having. "I suppose we might be quite similar," he said, "I'm not sure if that's a bad thing for me or for you," he joked.

"Not picked it up from my accent, whatever small amount of it is detectable," he wondered, "I'm actually kind of glad to know that I'm not obviously 'French', does it make me more mysterious?" Valentin asked. With his family having such a strong English background as well as French, and having brought up using both languages regularly, the lack of any one distinct accent made complete sense.

"Beauxbatons." Valentin said with in his exaggerated French accent, "I know what you're thinking, 'of course, he's from the city of love,'" he joked, it was only after he said it that he dwelled upon his use of 'love,' ah well, he didn't think too much of it and was sure Charles would feel the same, he didn't understand why people put so much thought into one little word.

"And you, which school do you call home?" he asked, Valentin had picked up on some kind of European accent, but was happy to admit that he was terrible at placing them. "So you've been here before," he said, thinking back to Charles's answer, "any tips for me, I've heard some mixed reviews so far," he added, laughing a little as he thought of the warnings he had overheard other international students giving out.

Butterflies. Charles felt them swirl in his stomach and the blonde loaths the feeling. He never enjoyed when a person could evoke 'real' emtions from him, when he couldn't control the situation with his playfully flirting or insults. Yet this boy brought out a different side of Charles, one that rarely saw the light.

Charles offered his signature half smile, flying a few more inches closer to the boy as he soothingly spoke"perhaps you just haven't found the person to soend it with yet," the blonde knew he shouldn't be flirting. He shouldn't be catching feelings. He has a boyfriend and a friend who would hit him over the head if they knew he was doing this but Charles couldn't help himself. It felt natural, amazing even...

"And the prettiest," Charles replied half liking the idea of them both playing the same position for the same sport. He never had a quidditch friend before, majority of his friends are into bro racing or dueling or nothing. A fellow quidditch player interested the blonde, it allowed him to relax some more.

Charles offered a half smile, taking his grip off his broom. The blonde cross his arms as he swung one leg over his broom. Both legs swinging off the same side as his eyes remained on Valentin. His posture relaxed and calm as he continued this flirting.

At the mention of them being simlair, Charles smiled a little as he spoke"that would be a terrible thing, if you are like me," his eyes stayed on the boy. His mind swiming in flirts and his heart wishing to learn more.

Charles is the worst at seeking out different accents, having listened to loads at various of times. It got confusing to the teenage whoch accenr belonged where. Charles has a mix accent, part British and part Russian from his English family and russian school. Jowever Charles listens to french, american, and even Japanese accentd on a regular from friends.

Casting the boy a smile as he spoke"your eyes holds all the mystery for you," the blonde wad feeling good. He was getting better at his word choice and finding his legs again,
after all he haven't flirted with another for quite a while so it took a bit for the teen to get the hang of it once more.

Beauxbation. Charles felt his stomach drop. He went to Beauxbation?! The school that his boyfriend and best friend attend! Charles hoped that he went to another school but guessed wrong.... his face not showing his worry or panick as he cooly spoke"I imagined you were from heaven but I'll settle for city of love," casting the boy his famous half smile and shining eyes.

Charles leaned back a little, casting a gaze elsewhere around the pitch as he casually spoke"Dumstrang," not necessarily proud of his schol. The blonde brought his eyes back toward Valentin as he continued" a few times but I haven't seen one of such beauty in my other visits," a half smile as he inched his broom closer in thr air toward Valentin, "keep your wand and broom on hand at all times, also stay in a groupsl which shouldn't be hard for someone as radiate as yourself."
