Alysa was flying around them, "yeah, what do you guys want to do?" she asked.

Ginny looked over at Alysa and flew over to her. "They are so slow. Do you just want to start playing without them," asked Ginny.

"WE ARE NOT SLOW!" Fred cried, swooping down and picking up a beater club.

Ginny laughed at her brother. "Oh really? Then how come it takes you so long in the bathroom at home then," exclaimed Ginny.

Kyle could see this wasnt going to go anywhere fast. Making a mental shrug, Kyle angled his broom down and flew at almost top speed towards the Quidditch ball trunk. Just before impact he swerved to the side and reached out and flicked his hand. He flashed past and flew back upwards, doing a swift round a loop over Ginny and Alysa as something golden zipped from the trunk. Hovering beside the youngest Weasley, Kyle decided to take charge of this stagnant game and get things rolling.
"Well, I don't know about you lot. If you'd rather just float here asking 'whaddya wanna do' all day, be my guest. But I for one came for some excersize and some fun. Now its pretty obvious that with four players, an actual Quidditch round is out of the question. At my old school, we made a bunch of Quidditch excersizes, and those who wanted to play their own game often used the excersizes as their games. Now, I've loosed the Snitch, and that in itself can lead to several excersizes. We could either try to catch it one by one, as is done in try outs, or play "Vitesse", in which all players seek out and try to catch the Snitch, while distracting the others. Normally all players have beater bats, and one bludger is loose. The point is to be the first to catch the Snitch, and the least bloddied. Points are awarded for those with the most evasve skills, and to the actual winner. Another game is called "Lancement" which holds one Keeper with the rest as Chasers...quite fun with twelve Chasers and two Quaffles...and it is used to practise as both Chaser and Keeper. The last game we could play is "Coup D'état", a Beaters game, in which we basically attempt to bash the crap out of each other, and the least bloody after 20 minutes wins." Kyle laughed, "Though I think we'll leave that one alone."
Looking around, and realizing with a ping that he was taking control of a situation in which he was a complete outsider, Kyle swallowed hard. It was quite possible he would recieve his own coup d'état for his nerve, and what they would probably see as arrogance. He had been a Quidditch Captain and Seeker at Beauxbatons, and rather popular, but here, he was a new face, and had no respect yet. It would be unsurprising if they turned on him for trying to bring in some order. They were original students, and popular ones at that. What he was doing was almost studentary sacrilige. However, backing down and apologising now would be utterly foolish. He would hold his ground, and as they said in France, quel sera sera.
Throughout all this thought, Kyle's face maintained the happy 'Let's play Quidditch' look it had had when he began speaking. Holding his head high, he looked at all of them.
"So,what say you? No matter what's chosen, that Snitch will need to be returned. So once the decision is made and the game is played, I'll fetch it, should the decision be Lancement or otherwise."

Fred flew over to Kyle, a little shocked because Kyle was such a quiet person; unlike himself. "Well..." he said, "the Vit... whatever it's name is, one sounds fun" he suchthrowing his beater club up and catching it.

Ginny stared at Kyle in surprise. "It doesn't matter to me what we play. As long as we don't do anything, then I'm good," stated Ginny as she flew around Kyle.

Spinning the beater club he looked at the group, "so the vit...vitty..vitie..." he struggled then turned to Kyle, "what's it called?" he asked him.

Kyle, noting the Wealsey's surprise at his sudden ability to speak, flushed a bit. I've really got to start acting more like I did at Beauxbatons. Hiding in a corner all the time is just making me look like even more of an outsider. And now when I do start acting in a way I see as normal, it surprises everyone. How frustrating. he thought, while fighting to keep a straight face as Fred struggled with the French word. "Vitesse," Kyle repeated, before deciding to make life easier for all of them. "It basically translates as 'Speed' in English." he informed them, before lifting his broom a little higher, a natural updraft being to hard to ignore. "Well, how about you, Alysa? A game of Speed sound ok with you?" he inquired, automatically checking to ensure that everyone was content, a habit he had picked up at Beauxbatons. There was always someone on his team that was left out, or not allowed a voice before he had been named Captain, and he had moved to change that. Also, he found it a lot more enjoyable to be around his friends when all of them had a say. For a moment he became nostalgic, but he snapped himself out of it quickly. If they were playing Vitesse, then he would need his wits about him.

Alysa rubbed her hands in anticipation of this new game and had a grin on her face, "Sure sounds like fun." she said.

"Eye Eye" said Fred brightly flying across the pitch and positioning himself ready for the game, 'this should be fun' he thought.

Ginny laughed at her brother as he shamelessly tried to pronounce the word. "Fred, you are hopeless at trying to pronounce things. But it sure is fun to watch you try," exclaimed Ginny with a smile on her face as she looked at her brother.

"Apparently.." he said, then calling out to no one in particular "who's going to release the snitch?!"
