On the rare days when she was not stalking Colin, nor in the mood to, Olive did what she'd always loved. Flying. It was a beautiful October day, the weather was no longer unbearable hot like it had in August and September, it was cold but not unbearable. She liked October. The leaves on the trees began to change colors as Fall approached, and soon enough Quidditch season would begin. There was so much to look forward to, so much planning. She stepped out onto the empty pitch clutching her trusty Cleansweep in one hand and dragging a large trunk in the other. Olive inhaled deeply the grass had been freshly cut for the new semester and the sun was bright and shining. Some days, she just liked being by herself.
"Arright" she dropped the trunk with a loud bang, and kicked at it roughly. The trunk gave a jiggle but didn't move. "Time to show 'em what you got" she spoke to noone but herself.. or maybe the trunk, she wasn't sure herself. She crouched to the floor and fiddled with the lock and popped the trunk open, For now she just grabbed the quaffle and left the bloody bludgers and Snitch in it's place. Last time she'd lost the snitch and she didn't trust herself enough not to lose it again. That thing was fast.
No.. she'd always preferred the position of chaser. With the quaffle tucked under her arm, Olive gave a kick and then she was in the air soaring, she went straight up to the sky, into the clouds and then dived down. She did a few loop de loops before letting the quaffle go in no particular direction and chased for it.

Jax never wasted his time when it came to planning a joke and this time was no exception. His firebolt sitting behind a tree waiting to be used after he had his fun he sat on a tree watching the quidditch pitch waiting for Olive not to notice. "this is gonna be great" He thought to himself before taking off to the trunk. He landed infront of it and smiled as he released the snitch watching it fly up in a flurry of gold. He watched it waiting for her to notice before releasing one Bludger.
He watched as he sat on the trunk waiting for the small snitch to get in Olive's eyesight. Just then It zig zagged into her field of vision fluttering tauntingly infront of her before dashing up into the air. Jax hooted gleefully and flew into the air to get a better view.

Olive waited for the quaffle to drop long enough to escape her reach before turning her broomstick down and making a nosedive for the quaffle, her speed picked up as she eyed the red magnificent thing falling falling falling to the ground, she wasn't scared of crashing. no. I could catch this shit in my sleep Olive had practiced this maneuver a million times before, she liked the rush it gave, and more importantly how much it scared Colin to watch. She grinned to herself, remembering how many times she'd pushed it and actually had Colin make a chase for her to stop her from falling, but she'd pull up just barely an inch from the ground and tease him for being a pussy. Colin.. she sighed, but he wasn't here right now, and it was a wasted effort as always. Time to wrap it up she thought to herself dully as she made a grab for the quaffle, but just as she did so something gold and fluttery whizzed in front of her eyes teasingly and caught her by surprise "SHIT" she grappled with her broom to pull herself up before crashing head first into her death, but at the speed and velocity she'd been diving the break didn't come as cleanly as usual. As she struggled to pull up, the fall slowed but she was still falling, and she could now distinguish each blade of grass within the green mass. Not good.. not good at all. She continued the struggling, using all her might to pull into a break until finally she made way, just in the knick of time and barely an inch from the ground. Olive let out a relieved sigh. "wooop still alive-- OOOOOOF" just as she pulled her hands up to cheer she felt the violent burgandy bludger crash right into her ribcage and send her flying off her broom knocking the wind right out of her. Before she could even realize what had happened she fell to the ground with a violent smack. Luckily she'd only been a few feet off the ground. Olive blinked... her vision blurred, her chest tight.,.. but she could see him as clear as day. Jax Stevens. The stupid little 'prankster' of Slytherin. She'd encountered no one more obnoxious than him, not even Peeves was nearly as irritating. Olive gritted her teeth, she still had no voice for words, only the boiling rage of a woman whose been scorned. She raised her hand and pointed a finger at him threateningly and without a single word uttered wrote out his death with one motion, a single swiping motion across her neck to indicate you are soooooo dead... At least... as soon as she got her breath back, for now she laid limply on the ground plotting her vengeance.

He dropped to the ground simultaneously transforming back to human. "Don't mean to toot my own horn but I'm pretty sure the Weasley boys never pulled of anything like that." He hooted in laughter mentioning the two Hogwarts students he had admired after visiting their store. Or at least the surviving brother's store.
He looked at her and smiled as he drew his wand bringing back the bludger "levicorpus" the bludger stopped in mid air and he set it in the case the buckles strapping it in. He then aimed his wand to the woods "Accio Firebolt" He said as his firebolt flew into his hand and he straddled it flying up to the snitch chasing it leisurely as he waited for Olive to come after him.
"I believe I can fly" He began to sing as he chased the golden snitch grabbing it in between his index and middle finger. "Gotcha" He mumbled pocketing it for the moment. "This could be useful"

"You think this is funny??" she shouted so that it was loud enough for Jax to hear and then grumbled "lets just see how funny it is once I beat your brains stupid". And with that said she rolled off her back and got to her feet. At this particular moment in her life shed never felt so murderous.. so eager for blood... Jax's blood. She chose her weapon wisely, lifting out on of the beaters bats from the open trunk and weighing it in her hand thoughtfully. It'll do
She swung her leg over her broom and then kicked off speeding after Jax.
Olive swung her bat like an instrument of impending doom, like... something medieval yes.. she imagined, picturing those weapons of destruction with the spikey ball attatched to a chain that she saw in those old movies. What was that even called??? Oh how she wished she had that right now, a wonderful isntrument of doom to better decapitate the menace to her life. Jax she glowered, her broom raced forward, she was now only just out of reach of his spindy decades old broom. A firebolt. she scoffed. Who even used those anyway? They were so old, so passe and totally unbeatable against her wonderful beautiful baby cleansweep.
my baby she touched her beautiful broom fondly. And now he would aid in the destruction of her nemsis... mwahahahahahahaha
"GOTCHA" she shouted as she grasped the ends of his spindly old firebolt, she swung at his head

He smiled rolling off the broom transforming into an owl right as the club swung over his head. He hooted in hysterics as he flew over her head landing on the back of her clean sweep leaving a not so nice present on the brush. He hooted at her and flew off again gliding in a circle to the ground where he transformed back to human with ease.
Becoming an Animagus was the hard part but once he had figure it out he had learned to transform with the utmost ease. He could do it at the snap of a finger and take off just as fast. He smiled as he ran to her trunk and stood on it. "Oh come on Olive you play quidditch for the maker's sake why are you so pissy about a stupid bludger?" He exclaimed with joy as he jumped of waiting for her to let go of his firebolt. An idea had formed and whether it was smart or not was up to how fast he could move.

"DAMMIT" she growled as Jax transformed into an owl and fly right out from her reach. Show off she grumbled to herself, having neither the patience nor talent for becoming an animagus. She watched as he flew around mockingly before descending to the ground and transforming back to his self. She'd always had a beef with him, Not just because he was a stupid Slytherin, but also because he was annoying as hell and found much too much pleasure in disturbing everyone within reach. There was absolutely no sense of self-restrain when it came to Jax.
Olive released her grip on the firebolt and turned her attention to Jax, she took a calming breath in and tried as she could to not completely lose it... calm.. think calm..
"Well lets see" she stated as pleasantly as she could summon "if Quidditch consisted of random bouts of violence I suppose oh you know THIS might be totally acceptable" and with that said she sent the bat hurling in Jax's direction.

"Yowza" He exclaimed ducking. He needed his broom back if he was going to escape from her and he only had one way to get there before her. He smiled as he took off sprinting as he dove forward turning into an owl once more and grabbing the firebolt in his talons as he flew upwards but still out of her reach as he transformed back to human and pulled out the snitch. "It was a joke Olive you know something to make people laugh" He stated "I figured you needed a decent laugh" He shrugged.
Guess she didn't. He threw the snitch to her and smiled "They call firebolts old and slow now." He shrugs making conversation. "But I find their speed is quite perfect for chasing a snitch. especially if you keep it clean and well charmed to perfection" He was now waiting for her to charge so he could drop down with the broom to take off.
