7th Flight is jolly
QUIDDITCH PRACTICE OF ANY KIND
[The one thing that Sano liked about January was, that two months after the Quidditch season started, a lot more students started to take interest in it and gathered enough courge to be willing to try. Though sometimes it took a bit of convincing on his part, but if he knew he student wanted to play, he wouldn't give in. Sometimes people needed a little push. So it happens, that he's got some more private lessons than he anticipate, but that's all fine with him. He doesn't mind coaching young talents for future generations of his beloved sport. And even if the skill doesn't come natrally, all you needed was determination and discipline. There's no amount of talent that could measure up to hard work.
Of course he's still coaching the house teams as well, usually during the afternoon. Practice is ain full gear now, with the house cup up and running, the point piling up more rapidly than the coins in Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. No matter the weather, Sano's up his broom and instructing the player almost every day now, sometimes even twice a day, yelling out various instructions as he's at it.
It's a wonder no one has found him slumped in his chair in the referee's room, trying to catch his breath yet. The amount of flying is slightly getting to him, but it's still bearable. He's more exhausted than he should be, but he's mostly okay. A few minutes of rest and a goodnight of sleep usually do the trick.]
TIME OFF
[The other thing Sano likes about January is the National Quidditch League. Being a former pro player he's got a free entry to all of his former team's games, along with anyone who's in his company and if he wants to, he can usually convince people to get him free tickets for other games as well. It's not unusual to find him up on a Saturday morning, dressed in his casual robes, heading out of the castle, towards Hogsmead, where he can apparate to whichever stadion the game's held at.
His colleagues and friends usually know what he's up to, since he tends to randomly invite them, in case they feel like seeing a game. He's alwayshappy for company and he won't let anyone, who wants to see a goood game, miss their opportunity. They either meet him up before heading to Hogsmead together, or outside of the village on a designated meeting point.]

I couldn't do it. It would only make me miss playing again, after I've just gotten over it too.
[And his kids, as he affectionately calls his first years and the house teams, didn't deserve him to stop teaching them with all his heart. He wants to continue enjoy what he's doing, just as much as he's enjoying it now.]
Besides, I walked away already. I can't turn back. Keeping backdoors open and halfway arrangements are not really my style.
[He admits, looking at Terra. But he appreciates the thought.]
no subject
That's very admirable of you.
[She turns her gaze away from Sano and towards the game. There is a second that passes and then she's pulling at Sano's arm.]
I see the snitch!
[She points to the fair end of the pitch where there is a small glint of gold. Terra doesn't know if the players have noticed it yet and of course it can vanish at any moment.]
no subject
Merlin's balls you're right!
[His eyes dart to the Seekers, who are flying in circles high above them. They haven't noticed yet.]
Oh please, please...
no subject
They spotted it.
no subject
Come on... Come on...
[3... 2... 1... The both charge at the same time and the crowd gasps at the tangle of limbs that the seekers find themselves in for a moment.]
He got it!
[Someone cries and yeah, Sano knows that, but who? He thinks... hopes... he saw a green sleeve be a little more forward, but it's hard to tell at the distance. He ought to bring his bnoculars next time.
Finally the seekers untangle, one slunched and one with their hand raised up proudly and the crowd errupts in a cheer and before he knows what he's doing, Sano's embracing Terra and lifting her up to spin her in the air.]
Fair boy, he got it! We WIN!!!
no subject
She laughs brightly, her hands lightly resting on Sano's as he spills her.]
That was amazing!
no subject
[Sano wholeheartedly agrees, because maybe they wouldn't end up at the bottom of the table after all.]
Aw man, and I had them written off already.
[He laughs and gives Terra huge, hapy grin. Only then does he realize he's holding her and lets go.]
Sorry about that...
no subject
It's alright. It was fun.
[It isn't as if she's lifted often.]
It felt like I was flying.
no subject
If you liked it, you should come fly with me some time! That's the real fun.
[As long as it's not for long and it isn't straining him, he can fly all he wants. And Scotland offered some beautiful sites that were worth a trip.]
no subject
I'd love too [Because that sounds awesome.] But will you be okay taking two people?
no subject
[He answers with a grin, knowing what she's refering to. The amount of people didn't matter, as long as he kept it easy.]
Don't worry. I'll be fine.
no subject
If you'll be fine then...
[She doesn't want to admit how amazing flying with him would be.]
I'd really like that.
no subject
[Because why delay it, right?
Slowly the people are clearing out of the tribune and Sano also starts gathering their things to slowly move out of the stadium.]
Have you ever been to Loch Ness?
no subject
Alright.
[It isn't as if she's doing anything besides grading papers this weekend.]
I haven't. Is it a town?
no subject
[He doesn't mention that it's a famous lake, to not make her feel stupid. It wasn't her fault she's never heard of it.]
It has some beautiful scenery.
no subject
[Terra follows close at his side as the crowds of people bled from the stadium.]
I love nature.
no subject
[Sano announces, right as they exit the field.]
Do you want to go somewhere now, or do we return to the castle?
[He asks, because it's a nice day and it would be a waste not to use it.]
no subject
[She doesn't know where though.]
no subject
Don't worry, I'm fine. I haven't done anything today that would be even close to tiring me out.
[An idea comes to him.]
Since you love nature, how about we take a walk around the moor?
[They're not expected back for a while, so they had time.]
no subject
I'd love that.
[She's able to feel the ebb and flow of trees and life being around it makes her feel alive again and it's a small thing that she can do as an Esper that doesn't scare her.]
Where is it?
[She doesn't actually know.]
no subject
We’re in it. Quidditch games are always held in moors, because they’re waste and rather hard to reach for Muggles.
no subject
She steps up next to Sano with a smile.]
Then... lead the way.
