! rp, - 2020 october, - quidditch pitch, [player: caz], [player: halo], benjamin higgins, jacob flint, scorpius malfoy

October 1, 2020 - This, that, and the other thing
Who: Jacob, Scorpius, Ben
Where: Quidditch pitch
When: Early afternoon
Rating: PG?
Status: Closed, completed
Summary: The quidditch team snarks at each other on the pitch, and Jacob shakes up the positions just to see what happens.

Jacob was glad practices had actually started - and he was kind of annoyed that it had taken them so long to get things scheduled and settled. He also tried not to be annoyed that this was his last year, and his last shot at getting the cup. He wondered how the other houses were holding up, really.

"Malfoy," he barked to the blond. "Watch what you're doing, and ignore the rest of them."

He ignored Malfoy's rude gesture and continued to survey the others flying around the pitch. He also tried to ignore the audience, and he wondered why they hadn't banned people from watching practices.

Though on the flip side of that, he supposed that would mean he couldn't torment the Gryffindors during their practices ... he supposed it was a fair trade after all.

Ben chortled a little; use the time to screw around and work on his techniques? He didn't think Jacob would appreciate his sense of humour, though, so he kept that particular gem in. Flying over, he nodded, though he still had a decently bemused expression on his face.

"Got any plans for your last year, Flint?" he called over as he neared.

He, personally, would be satisfied with coasting. Somehow he didn't think Jacob was for that.

"He just wants to pass it," Scorpius called to Ben. Nevermind the question wasn't directed at him; Jacob occasionally needed to be reminded he wasn't the be-all end-all of things just because he was the quidditch captain.

"Depends on the kind of plans you mean," he said, shooting a glance toward Malfoy but otherwise ignoring him. That, he found, worked best for Scorpius. Ignore him, and he'd go away.

"Plans for the team? I plan to win. Plans for homework? Do as little as possible. Plans for after school? Do nothing for as long as I can 'til my dad kicks me into doing something with my life." He grinned. "What about you?"

What did he plan to do? Ben hadn't really thought about it. Well, beyond spreading rumours.

"Dunno," he admitted with a slight shrug, "Thought I might see what kind of trouble I can kick up this year. Seeing as how it's my last and all. As for after school ... I hadn't really gotten that far."

His dad kind of wanted him to go into the family business, but Ben wasn't all that clear on what that entailed. Only that he'd heard it mentioned a couple of times now in a decently ominous fashion.

"Yeah, well, don't kick up any trouble that lands you in detention during practices," Jacob said before reflexively ducking a bludger that was whizzing toward them.

He glanced in the direction it had come from and rolled his eyes when he saw Malfoy with a beater's bat. Well, he had said for them to screw around, hadn't he?

"Git," he muttered before he rolled his shoulders and straightened.

"I'm sure I can keep it to a dull roar," he replied with a grin as he dodged the bludger his own self, "While we're on the subject, did you hear the Dovers girl's been making out with every Tom, Dick and Harry she can after classes? I didn't even know she was that easy..."

He wondered if Flint would care or if it'd just be tossed back at him. But hey, he had to start somewhere, didn't he? Quidditch practice seemed like an all right place. Especially since all they seemed to be doing just then was watching Malfoy play with his bat.

Scorpius smirked, wondering how many times he could get away with swatting the bludger toward them before Jacob went off on him.

Maybe he'd find out.

"Am I supposed to care?" Jacob asked Ben, flicking his eyes toward the boy curiously. "I mean, is there a special reason you're sharing this? Just put her up on the list of girls that put out," he smirked, then shrugged his shoulders.

He wasn't particularly interested in easy girls himself; if they weren't a bit of a challenge, they weren't any fun.

"If you hit that back this way, Malfoy, I will ban you from the next game," Jacob threatened as he watched Malfoy aiming his bat at the bludger.

He grinned a bit and leaned back on his broom.

"Just thought I'd mention," he replied, "Spread the word, as it were."

He wondered who else he could tell and what kind of damage control Eline might try. Well, that's what she got for being an irritating upstart 'puff and trying to win an argument about him.

Hazel eyes glanced to Scorpius and he smirked.

"Best listen to him, Malfoy," he pointed out, "Unless you want to get stuck cleaning the balls or something."

Intentional wording? Perhaps.

"Malfoy's not good enough to clean my balls," Jacob said with a slight grin. He was vaguely curious about Ben's apparently random desire to spread the word about an easy girl - like there weren't enough of them around - but he let it go.

Maybe he fancied her.

Shrugging to himself, he started to spiral downward, intending to head in, considering practice more or less done. Maybe he'd write up some drills or some practice ideas later.

... yeah, right.
