Summer was very excited. She had been looking forward to this for weeks from when she'd received the invitation. She had floo'd to a friend's house which was near the training pitch and was now walking towards there trying to stop herself from running there. She had been invited by Zane, the brand new seeker star of the English Quidditch team and also her former Quidditch captain. She'd been invited to come and watch a training session and to potentially take part in a practice match and meet the team. It was a dream of hers and was a potential way to get contacts and maybe get spotted by the talent scouts and get some useful help to her dream.
She turned the corner and felt the concealment barrier break and gasped seeing the stadium, the pitch and the iron gates with the England coat of arms on it. She jumped siphoning off some extra excitement and walked forwards towards the gates. She had been dreaming of visiting this place since her father had told her about it. Summer smiled as she spotted a familiar face standing by the gates with his arms crossed watching her. Zane Lestrange, the guy she had a huge crush on who had invited her. Although she was 20 minutes early he knew that she would be and was waiting for her. She ran up to him hugging him tightly in her excitement, "You have no idea how excited I am Zane!" she squeeled excitedly (squeeling was almost unheard of for Summer but that was how excited she was at this point). She let go of him and looked him up and down admiring the England Quidditch tracksuit and hoodie "Liking the uniform, guessing the robes are awesome too." she said. She couldn't wait to get through those gates and see the team in action.

It had been difficult getting up that morning. His alarm clock had gone off a five o'clock as it always did. He usually didn't have trouble waking up at such an early time, the motivation of a day of Quidditch was always enough, but this time was different. Yesterday he had played with his team, the Tornados, against the Falmouth Falcons. The match had been particularly brutal, but the Tornados had clung on to victory with a score of 200-70. He ached all over but luckily he had escaped without any bruises. After he had showered, he was ready to go, excited at the full day of Quidditch that lay in wait. He grabbed a cereal bar and a small bottle of orange juice before apparating.
He knew that an old friend from school would be visiting today. It was his turn to invite someone. Summer would be the last to come and visit for a while. All the other players had brought along promising players. Zane had met most of them, except for Jason's, due to him playing in a match elsewhere. They had all been promising, some had freaked out and just sat in the stands, whilst a couple got stuck in with the practise games. Zane knew Summer would be ones of those.
The Morning Practise went well with Coach pushing them to the limit in preparation for their game in little under five days time. From drills in the air to fitness training on the ground, the Coach was pushing them to their limit. Finally lunch was called and Zane made his way with the team to grab a sandwich. He took his sandwich and made his way to the gates, sitting on the wall outside, looking for Summer. He was really excited to see her again, so he could catch up with all the gossip from school, as well as talk Quidditch and show off his new broom.
He got off the wall and leant against the gates, scanning the horizon. Soon enough he spotted Summer approaching. He waved and smiled as she ran up. He returned her hug and looked at her. "I'm sure you've grown...grow any more and you'll be taller than me" he laughed, smiling at the nod to the uniform. "The robes are something pretty special, I couldn't stop wearing them when I first got them. So, how's Hogwarts?"

Summer hadn't been able to sleep the night before out of excitement. She was so happy that she had this opportunity. Her parents were highly jealous as they had wanted to try out for the national teams but didn't get a trial. She had the opportunity to watch the practice and also take part in a practice game so that she could see how she faired against the best in the country. She couldn't wait for the practice game though she hoped that she wouldn't be overwhelmed by the occasion. She didn't think that she would be like that and hoped that she could bring her star game today.
She smiled at Zane and nodded laughing "Yep probably have grown actually. Kinda had a bit of a growth spurt last summer. Taller than you? Well that's my goal." she said jokingly looking at him. "Might I say Zane you get more and more handsome everytime I see you." she joked slipping back into her old habit. When they had been teammates there were a huge amount of rumours about things going on between the two. While none of them were actually true, Summer liked to shamelessly flirt with the quidditch guys but Zane in particular.
When she heard that he couldn't stop wearing them she laughed, "I can imagine you couldn't, I wouldn't have been able to if I was you. Hogwarts is good, Quidditch training is going great, my brother is your successor as seeker. He's good but needs a lot of training, but I know he is dedicated and committed so that should be a problem. And everything else at Hogwarts seems to be good. Hows England quidditch hotshot life?" she asked watching him. God why is he so hot! I thought I'd gotten over my crush but it's back worse than ever!
