[JUMPING DOWN FROM A TREE HEY SUP]

Am I late?!

[chasingstag]

[jumps, looking up-- WHAT-- then grins] Not at all, glad you showed! Canada and I were saying we'd have to drag you here to make sure.

[1776ftw]

Well, I'm only here 'cause I'm going to be the best at Quidditch ever and then be the best at baseball and then beat everyone at everything ever.

So. Yeah.

[chasingstag]

[James pats him on the back] Mate, I hate to break it to you, but I've been leading the Gryffindor Quidditch team to House Cup victory ever since I joined the team; I'm the highest scorer in decades. [and his ego's small, too] You've got a long way to go before you're on my level in Quidditch, and we'll see what happens in baseball. Can't beat natural athleticism.

[1776ftw]

[Raising a finger at him.]

One game is all I need to learn before I'm wiping the floor with you.

[Doesn't help he remembers the games from the books back home H-HAHA orz]

[chasingstag]

Now, that's a challenge I'm happy to accept. [smirk. James points back at him before going to his crate of Quidditch balls and taking out the Quaffle, throwing it to America] Ready for your lesson?

[1776ftw]

[Catch!]

Sure thing, broseph. Just tell me what to do.

[chasingstag]

Your personality, you're probably good in the thick of things. [looks him over] Good reflexes. Throw the Quaffle back for a mo'?

[1776ftw]

Of course, man! That's me. America the great, good reflexes and everything!

[Toss!]

[chasingstag]

[the instant James catches the ball he throws it right back, a neat little curve throw that might be a bit tough to catch. How America catches it-- if he does-- might indicate whether he'd be a better chaser or keeper]

[1776ftw]

[He so does catch it yet--

In the perfect style for a keeper.

Interesting.]

[chasingstag]

Aha. [James throws his hands up, almost triumphantly] You do have good reflexes. You'd make a good keeper, I think, though maybe we should see how you do on a broom.

[1776ftw]

It's not gonna crick the cock, yeah?

[chasingstag]

[snigger, then a full on laugh. James likes you, America] Nah, we'll teach you how to sit on it to avoid that, mate.

[1776ftw]

Then bring it, yo! I can do this.

[chasingstag]

Right, let's see it, then!

[James picks up an extra broom and tosses it over]

It'll be a bit different, blocking once you manage to get yourself up there.
