At the Broom Racing Track

When: Last Saturday - backdated due to RL
Rating: PG for broom fu
       
          

...and Richard smiled as he led Lucy down to his pit stall along side the track. With any luck there'd be a fairly good turnout and he could do his part toward turning more broom riders to the dark side - convincing them that racing was even more fun that Quidditch. HIs hand on the handle released the wards as he rolled the door up. He knew Lucy with her non-magical background would recognize it as a standard garage door, but he still smiled a little at what an innovation an aluminum roll-up door had been to those whose entire life had been spent in the wizarding world.
           
He pointed past several racks of brooms and his trackside broom tuning bench. "Your leathers, boots, and helmet are in the loo back there if you'd like to get changed. And yes, they are meant to fit that tight. Something flapping about at over a hundred miles an hour can raise quite the welt, as well as mucking up your flight characteristics. The track crew will be sending up the corner markers and the high and low crossing gates and I thought I'd take you up on a Two-Place first and show you how to fly the course before I turned you loose solo on a trainer. You seemed to be pretty much a natural at the broom rodeo, so that shouldn't be too long."

"Martial arts is a lifetime commitment if you want to get anywhere with it. Although I've taken up freerunning lately, so I'm not one to talk about too many hobbies."

He laughed. "Maybe not a life-long convert, but you're good. Real good. Good enough to qualify for a race the first time you get on a racing broom. Think about it. I'll have to make a few calls, send a few owls, but something may come of this later. I'll get back on that in a week or two."

"Well..." Rich sighed. "At first, I admit, it was just me poking a stick at the Ministry again. It's one of my little hobbies. But you're good people, good in the office, and good on a broom. Win win win all around."

Laughing, Lucy nodded. "Hobbies seem to breed hobbies, I've found. The more people you know, the more hobbies they introduce you to, the more you end up doing - or wanting to do."

Beaming at the praise, Lucy looked back to her borrowed broom. "Fancy a race?" she asked. "You didn't come here to watch me all morning." She had no doubt at all that Rich would beat her handily - but it would be fun, and she already yearned to get back on the broom.

"And the same to you, boss," she said, giving him a quick mock-salute. "Now come on, don't let me get a headstart on you." And with that, she was mounted and zipping off to the track once more.

Richard laughed as he pulled Miss Susan Sto Helit off the rack and quickly mounted up. Named for Death's granddaughter in a fictional series, she was his Unlimited broom that was set up for short tracks. He'd spent a lot of time building her, getting her just right. He roared out of the pits and had passed Lucy by the fourth corner.

Laughing again as he passed the start/finish line he slowed up and called out, "Right then, speed demon. Tuck in tight behind me and I'll show you how to really tear up this course."
