WHO: James and Nyx
WHAT: Random Encounter
WHERE: James's almost-functional Quidditch pitch
WHEN: 7/30
RATING: low/tbd
James was out for a fly, practicing some of the more tricky maneuvers that he'd learned while he was on the Gryffindor team at school. It had been years since James had played Quidditch with the intensity of a seventh year Gryffindor vying for the Cup, so attempting these tricks was probably a little fool-hardy.
During one of his more complicated moves (a twist and dip during a sloth-grip roll) he lost control of the broom. After attempting to regain altitude and failing, James fell. The broom flew on without him for a few feet, then went crashing down to the earth below as well.
Thankfully, it was only about twelve feet, and James didn't land with so much force that anything crucial was broken. At least, so he thought. He was flat on his back, slowly regaining his senses, gasping for air that had been knocked out of him when he hit ground.
