WHAT: Testing the brooms for Quidditch obviously.
WHEN: Mid-afternoon
WHERE: An open field.
RATING: TBD
STATUS: In Progress
NOTES: Um... better late than never? Yeah. I completely spaced on posting this. So sorry, everyone! But if you want your character to help test the brooms, by all means feel free to tag in!
The field had been warded against any locals. Willow had painstakingly covered every square inch both on foot and in the sky to ensure that no one who was from the city of Colligo could wander into the test run she was setting up for the brooms she'd constructed. She'd also made sure that there was plenty of room to allot for several people off the ground at once.
The brooms themselves looked as close to the real deal as she could manage. That part, really, had been easy. It was making them magically capable of flying with a non-magical person sitting on them that had been tricky. Either she'd used too much of her own magic and they had all but exploded from being overloaded, or she'd used too little and they hadn't wanted to even so much as hover off the ground. Finally, though, she thought she had them sorted out well enough.
Or at least well enough for others to try them out.
Truthfully, Willow was a bit nervous about the entire ordeal. Tapping into her own magic was tricky business and, should something go wrong and she start to feel like she was becoming too weak, she wasn't positive she could keep herself from accidentally absorbing someone else's magic to keep her going. Which would be fine, if she was relying on Buffy or Dawn or someone she knew. But the people from the Wizarding World? While they seemed nice enough, and were nice to her, she wasn't sure how they'd react to something like that. She didn't think it would be good, definitely.
Hopefully that wasn't going to happen, though. She had done a fair bit of meditating throughout the morning and certainly felt centered enough, and in-tune with everything around her, that she didn't think it would be an issue. There was plenty of magical current in the very ground beneath her feet and the very air she breathed. She just had to remember that.
And along with remembering that, she had to wait for others to show up. Which she was hoping would be soon because if she had to sit still and wait much longer, she thought she might very well lose her nerve, go back to her room, and let them sort this whole practice thing out themselves... if anyone even showed, that is. She still wasn't sure how many had read about her exploits as evil, veiny Willow. And how many would be willing to forgive or forget them without knowing the whole story.
