Steading the broom horizontally I stood up then performed a backflip along the length of the handle as if it was a balance beam. It was almost laughable what a high DEX and no fear could accomplish.
I finished my little stunt with a final swing launching me 20 ft into the air before landing perfectly on the broom.
"Ta-da!"
The room apparently had good taste as a scoreboard with the number 10 appeared on the far-off wall.
"My flying skills should be passable for the moment. Now I just need a bit of actual practice. Room, create some bludgers and bats."
A small bat appeared on the ground along with two iron balls that shot away like cannonballs.
"Room, create some targets too."
Red and white bullseyes appeared on the walls and in the air. Some moved around to imitate players flying with others being stationary.
Diving down I retrieved the bat and flew up high.
One of the bludgers moved to knock me off my broom but I was ready.
As soon as it entered my range I swung the bat using all my strength causing it to be sent away and into a floating target that shattered when it was hit.
My hand rung from the force of the hit and I saw that the wooden bat now had a crack on it.
"I thought these were supposed to be magically enhanced to deflect bludger?"
[Wooden Beater's Bat- Rank: Ordinary
A wooden replica of a beater's bat. It has no magical enchantments and just a really good imitation.]
[A skill has been created through a special action.]
[You obtained the skill, 'Blunt Weapon Mastery'.]
[Blunt Weapon Mastery] (Passive) LV1 0.0%
[Description: Allows user to freely handle blunt weapons.
Effect: Increase 10% attack damage with blunt weapons.
Effect: Increase 5% attack speed.]
A new skill already. Lately the number of skills I need to level up had been growing, though I wasn't complaining.
After having the room create a beater's bat made out of solid steel I continued to practice until it was curfew.
----------
Great Hall:-
Today was a Sunday and I had nothing planned for today other than to enjoy the weather.
Life wasn't all work after all. One needed to enjoy the little things.
Which is exactly why I enjoyed looking at the conflict between the future Golden Trio. It was already an open secret that Harry had become Gryffindor's seeker. There was also the whole mid-night duel between Draco and Harry.
All of this resulted into a grumpy bushy-haired witch that was going out of her way to ignore her housemates.
Glancing at the Slytherin table I noticed Daphne and Tracey talking among the other pureblood girls. Looks like I wouldn't be able to talk to them today.
Grabbing a piece of bacon from the plate I was unprepared for it to be snatched from my fingertips by a white snowy owl.
I stood up from my seat and grabbed the nearest thing on the table and threw it at the thieving bird.
The green apple sailed through the air like an arrow catching Hedwig on her way back to the Gryffindor table. She ended up crashing in front of Ron as a result.
The ginger now sported a face full of food, so nothing too out of the ordinary.
The Slytherin table behind me had looked up to see what the commotion was and were in the process of laughing their heads off.
"Not bad mate," Terry said having seen the entire thing, "you plan on trying out for chaser?"
Ron finally managed to whip his face enough to glare at the Slytherin Table who were still laughing. The redhead grabbed a piece of pie and threw it across the hall, hitting Crabbe in the face.
The Great Hall stood silent, but I could see the twins smiling mischievously as they grabbed a handful of food before jumping on the table and roaring a mighty battle cry.
"FOOD FIGHT!"
The Gryffindor table were quickest as they began to throw anything within arms reach at the Slytherins. But their advantage didn't last as all the houses began to throw food.
[You sense danger!]
My head tilted to the left, letting the cupcake hit Terry across from me.
I turned back to look at who threw it, "Really Tracey?"
The Slytherin witch didn't respond and instead gave a playful smile as she readied another pastry, this time a piece of cheesecake.
I blocked it by using a sliver tray as a shield, then retaliated with a bowl of pasta that did meet its mark.
Seeing the chaos around me I jumped over the tables and to the Gryffindor where Hermione had taken cover under the table.
"Your house has impeccable manners as always Granger," I commented as I joined her hiding place.
She looked annoyed as she replied, "Oh shut up you. I saw you throw the apple."
"I have no idea what you are talking about," I said in an all too innocent tone that wasn't fooling anyone, "though I do suggest that we get out of her before a teacher comes?"
"First one to the exit?"
"Right then," I said, offering a hand that she shook.
We both got out at the same time.
"Hii," she exclaimed in surprise as she barely dodged a bowl of pudding.
I gave her the tray as we made a run for the entrance. I dodged everything thrown my way, occasionally grabbing something from the air and sending it back to the thrower.
A jug of pumpkin juice was thrown my way but luckily, I was able to use a nearby Hufflepuff as a human shield, keeping myself dry.
"Sorry."
I grabbed another Puff and ran for the exit using them as a battering ram.
Thanks to his selfless sacrifice I managed to make it to the end of the room a few seconds before Hermione.
500 EXP
"Looks like I won," I announced letting go of the poor Puff.
