"Well, I paid for them anyway..." Jake shrugged tensely. "Nothing's wrong, I'm fine," he responded a little too quickly, like he had known she would ask. He immediately relaxed when she moved her head off the scar, and they seemed to travel toward the ground smoother, with less jerks and falls.

"Uh-huh. Sure,"she said, crossly. Her eyes narrowed as they drifted towards the ground. As soon as her feet had touched the ground, it hit her. "It's your scar!"she announced, jumping up immediately. "That's what's bothering you. Your scar, isn't it?"she asked.

Jake felt his feet touch the ground.He sighed. "Yeah," he said simply, giving up on trying to lie about it. "It's hurting more lately for some reason..." He continued. ((Let's say this is before the bubble...))

Natalie raised an eyebrow. "Isn't he locked away in Azkaban? Far far away from here?"she asked, folding her arms across her chest. "Maybe he died or something and he's feeling pain?"

"You don't feel a whole lot of pain when you die..." Jake said. "When you're dying, yeah..." he added, seeming to have a lot of experience in the subject. And...he did. "I don't know. I'll be fine. It's not like he could escape from Azkaban..." Again, he added mentally. "He's probably just gone crazy or something, and it's messing with the scar."

"He's going crazy and your scar hurts,"Natalie said, coolly. "Yea, that makes tons of sense,"she rolled her eyes.

Jake shrugged. "OK, maybe there's some other reason...I'm a Quidditch player, not a Healer!" he said defensively. "As long as he doesn't come after me or anything, I'll live with it..." he stated simply. "Anyway...I caught you," he smirked, poking her.

Her expression changed from worry to teasing in a matter of seconds. "Only because you cheated,"replied Natalie, giggling when he poked her. She sighed and leaned against him again. "You know you wouldn't have caught me even if you HAD escaped the Bludgers, right?"she asked, a teasing expression on her face.

"Are you challenging me, Miss Weasley?" Jake asked, grinning widely. He rolled his broom over with his foot and step onto it, quickly raising himself a foot off the ground and hovering in the air. "I'll give you to the count of three," he said, smirking.

Natalie grinned and swung her legs over her own broom. "I really don't think you'd need to count to three,"she replied, pushing hard off the ground and disappearing into the air and behind the goal posts.

"123," Jake said rapidly and flew after, weaving in between the goal posts before speeding up in her direction. He flew up high and then dove at her, gaining speed as he dove downward.

"Hmm,"mumbled Natalie, as she dove down towards the ground. At the last minute, she made a sharp turn, barely skimming the bottom of the goal post with the end of her broom. She pushed hard against the end of broom with her feet and sped up.

Jake flew toward Natalie, through one of the hoops, and barrel rolled down at her. He stopped right in front of her and swung around, smirking as he faced her. "That's all?" he asked jokingly, poking her on the shoulder.

Natalie froze and blinked several times. She laughed and reached behind her to untie the ribbon in her hair. "Fine, fine. You win,"she said, poceting the ribbon. "You caught me. I'm your prisoner,"she held out her hands like someone who had just gotten arrested. "I'm yours."

"That's it?" Jake asked with a raised eyebrow. "No mini-Bludgers, no giant Bludgers, no regular Bludgers?" he added, only half joking. After a second his smile widened and he said, "Well if you insist..." and ropes appeared around her hands. They were easily breakable. Mostly they were just for show.

"I ran out of them,"protested Natalie. "And that didn't seem fair. You weren't using the wind so I didn't feel the need to use the bludgers,"she watched as the ropes encircled her hands. "What do you want me to do first, Master?"she asked in a robotic voice.

"Hmm...you could buy me an ice cream," Jake said with a laugh. "Chasing red-heads around a Quidditch Pitch obviously works for warming up..." he added, turning from her and descending to the ground. A rope attached itself between their brooms. Which could be good for Jake or bad for him...

"That's it?"she asked, incredulous. "I would've thought you'd ask for unlimited use of all the pranks in the sho-NEVER MIND!"she called out, descending to the ground a bit too fast. Natalie's broom shot towards the ground at a fast pace.

"Wait, slow dow-" Jake yelled, and was suddenly whipped around on his broom. He lost his balanced and tumbled off the back, trying to reach out and grab onto his broom, but it flew by too quickly. Suddenly he stopped in mid-air, caught by the wind. He blinked. "It actually worked," he laughed, slowing moving toward the ground.

Natalie landed on the ground softly. She turned around to find an empty broom. She looked up and saw Jake drifting softly towards the ground. She grimaced. "Sorry!"Natalie called out, dismounting her broom. She pulled out her wand and tapped it softly on the rope. The rope disappeared with a loud crack. Natalie grabbed Jake's broom and handed it back to him.

Jake nodded silently and accepted the broom. With a wave of his wand, it disappeared, back to their house. "Now...about that ice cream..." he said with a small smile. "Should I get chocolate, mint chocolate chip, or Cookies 'N' Cream Oreo?" he asked seriously, as if this were a matter of life-and-death.
//brb, I'm hungry for ice cream.//

Natalie rolled her eyes and tapped her broom with her wand. Her broom disappeared with a poof. "Your choice, hun. Why not get all three?'she said with a tone of mock excitement.

"You are so right! I'll get them all...with little sprinkles on top!" Jake said, voice getting more and more excited by the second. "OOH! AND CHOCOLATE SYRUP AND WHIPPED CREAM AND THOSE LITTLE CHOCOLATE MUGGLE CANDIES...What are they called? Snogs?" he asked, looking at Natalie and trying to keep a straight face.

Natalie gaped at Jake, her jaw dropped. "Uh,"she managed to say. "I'm not that much of a Muggle expert,"she said, trying hard not to snicker,"but I think they're called s'mores?" Natalie shook her head and reached forward to grab Jake's hand. "So are we walking there, driving there, or Apparating there?"she asked.

"Let's walk," Jake said, still thinking. "No, it's not s'mores...Kisses!" he yelled suddenly. "Those little mini-kisses candies. Have you seen those?" he asked, smirking. "It's too bad we don't have any right now..." he trailed off, looking at her.
