[LYRA KARA THORNTON]

lyra sighed as she put her broom away next to her trunk, pulling off her quidditch robes and changing into a simple hoodie and jeans ensemble, not that bothered to dress up right now on this lazy sunday afternoon. as she piled her long thick golden curls into a messy bun, several trendrils stubbornly falling back down to frame her face, lyra shoved her wand into her front pocket and headed out of the dorm room, passing through the common room at a steady pace.

she headed out of the hufflepuff common room, flashing a few of her friends a wave and grin and ducking out of the door; pausing only for a half second to decide which way she wanted to go. she took a left, heading past the tapestry that hid the kitchens, turning away from the dungeons and slytherin's common room in favour of the grande doors that led out to the grounds.

lyra took a shortcut, choosing a less worn, leave strewn path toward the owlery over a more known pathway, heading up the stone steps and careful not to slip on the top one as the rain had left a patch of ice behind after it's last attack. lyra brushes her fringe aside impatiently and headed into the owlery, pushing the wooden door aside and looking up at the rows and rows of owls. she smiled lightly, eyes glazing over the different colours -from russet to ivory, and sizes. she didn't have her own owl but she looked up at them all and lifted a letter to her brother. "come on guys... any takers?" she grinned, watching as a great dark ebony barn owl swooped down and landed on her outstretched arm, playfully nipping her fingers. lyra tied on the letter, gave it a stroke of thanks and watched him take off through the window, jumping as she heard the door behind her snap open and turning to face the entryway...

ooc , hope this is all good for ya

Louis scrunched up a piece of parchment, throwing it over his shoulder and missing the bin by a mile, not that he paid attention to the few balls of parchment that littered the floor of the fifth year Hufflepuff boys dorm. He'd clean it up later, after he had finished writing his letter. It took him around 10 minutes later and a few more scrunched up balls of parchment to finally have a decent letter explaining what he had been up to, what Dom was doing and how they were coping with school. Well he couldn’t really say how Dominique was coping, it seemed like he hardly saw his twin these days.

Standing up he gathered every single ball of parchment and placed them in the bin where they had meant to go before gathering his own letter, sealing the envelope and heading out of the dorms. He walked slowly, wondering if he'd bump into Dom, maybe she had a letter to add to his or wanted to write her own little message to them. But unfortunately as he neared the entrance of the castle, his sister was nowhere in sight. Typical Gryffindor, he thought as he looked up at the Owlery before heading that way. Well if Dominique had wanted to add anything, she'd have to write to their parents herself. He sighed as he trudged up the stone stairs, why did there have to be so many but finally he made it and pushed the door open, the sound of owls squawking met his ears. He slipped into the Owlery and let the door close behind him as he looked around stopping Lyra.

Louis didn’t question what she was doing here, instead he offered her a smile.
"Hey, haven’t seen you around lately," he spoke before waving the envelope in the air, wondering which owl would fly down to him. A typical brown barn owl flew down and landed on his arm. Tying the letter to its leg, he told the bird the location and people he wanted the letter to be delivered too before it spread its wings and took flight.

[LYRA KARA THORNTON]

lyra grinned lightly as she took note of the younger boy standing in the entryway. her light grey eyes roamed the dirty blonde almost sandy coloured hair, and catching his blue eyes. "Hey, haven’t seen you around lately," she shrugged lightly and shook her head, long blonde hair tumbling over her shoulders at the movement. " i've been avoiding you." she joked, her grin clearly showing her that she wasn't being serious. lyra wouldn't do that, she liked louis, having a soft spot for the fifth year hufflepuff almost little-brother like after she'd accidently got him with a prank instead of someone else.

she watched him head over to the window with a bird and letter, figuring she'd wait for him and maybe see if he wanted to catch up or hang out or something. she didn't have anywhere to be, and she honestly hadn't seen him in a while - for that she cursed her up and coming N.E.W.Ts... and her quidditch practises (which she didn't curse really for the fact that she loved flying but still).

lyra's grey eyes caught sight of the owl carrying her letter already far in the distance, a dark speck against the strangely clear afternoon skye, befre the shape caught a cloud and was engulfed by white. her eyes flickered to louis with a small smile. "you've got to stop growing, lou." she said lightly. "last time i saw you i swear you were shorter than me. you were the one person i could claim to be taller than you know." she shook her head and rolled her eyes, smiling and hoping he wasn't offended - obviously not meaning to offend him. she knew height bugged him a little, but she was only playing. besides with her petite frame, and her tiny 5foot1inch height it really wasn't hard to be taller than her.

Oh she had been avoiding him, well he would have taken it seriously if he hadn’t caught her usual joking grin. Relief washed over him, he didn’t want Lyra to avoid him, not when he considered her a great friend, even with all the pranks she done.
"Oh is my veela charm too much for you, I swear it’s hard to keep in check at times," he replied in the same joking manner, laughter showing in his eyes. It was true though; his veela charm often had a mind of its own, getting unsuspecting females. It was more a curse, he thought that a charm or a gift. He could have just about any girl and yet he didn’t want any, not when his veela charm was placed on the girl anyways.

Still it was sometimes hard having friends in different years, even though they were in the same house, it seemed like they were always too busy to see each other in the common room. Maybe they'd simply have to make time, who cared if they missed an hour or so of homework time, friends were more important he thought.

His blue eyes caught the owl with his letter as it veered away from the owl that had gone a mere few minutes before it, before it became too hard to see in the sky. Louis turned back to Lyra, did she have anything on right now, he certainly hadn’t, it was what made him write a almost perfect letter. Boredom was something he didn’t particularly like. He laughed at her words, he couldn’t help the growing.
"Shorter than you, maybe in my first year I was," his grin widened, "At least there are some shorter than you, I mean look at Dom, she's only around what, 4'10ish." He found that funny really, they were twins and yet he she was shorter than him, in fact she had to be around one of the shortest, in not the shortest Weasley.
"What else are you doing today, maybe we can hang out," he suggested, after all it was only a few minutes ago that they were talking about not seeing each other often enough.

[LYRA KARA THORNTON]

lyra looked up at him and grinned as he said "Oh is my veela charm too much for you, I swear it’s hard to keep in check at times," rolling her eyes lightly. "yep ... yeah i can't resist you .. can't you tell? i figured it was best to keep my distance." she joked. sure, when she'd first met louis she'd recognised the whole 'charm' thing, but as he'd only been a first year she'd looked on him as a little brother, even as she'd seen him grow up and she'd seen the charm in effect, but she'd always thought of him like a brother, and never been attracted to him like that. she wondered if maybe it was refreshing to meet someone who wasn't affected by the charm.

"Shorter than you, maybe in my first year I was," lyra shook her head and smiled lightly. " awe when you in your first year you were so little .. it was adorable. what happened to you?!" she teased lightly, unable to help it. she was just that kinda person - always teasing and joking. "At least there are some shorter than you, I mean look at Dom, she's only around what, 4'10ish." lyra thought about it for a second, remembering dom was louis twin, but never having really met her. "4'10? wow .. must suck." she grinned and shook her head, knowing how much being small could annoy her at times.

"What else are you doing today, maybe we can hang out," lyra looked at him and smiled, pretending to think about it. " hmm i dunno... i've got a busy schedual today..." she suddenly grinned and shook her head. " but i'll blow it all off just for you." her grin widened, knowing she would have only done some revision later anyway and definetly deciding she could get on with it later. hanging out with louis was certainly more interesting. " what did you want to do?" she asked and smiled, wondering if he had something specific in mind.

[LOUIS ALEXANDER WEASLEY]

He laughed. He knew she was joking, not once had he seen her come onto him like that nor did he see her anything other than a sister like figure. Of course he already had sisters, but he was so used to them, what was one more? Besides, Dom nor Vic were or had been in Hufflepuff and it was nice to have an older girl to be able to talk to like a sister.

Adorable, he wasn’t that adorable was he. No he just remembered a scrawny looking kid with dark blonde hair and a nervous look as he got sorted, how was that adorable, sometimes he didn’t understand females and wondered if he ever would. His father kept telling him that it was hopeless to understand them completely and the he ended up with a headache most of the time trying to figure out Fleur.
"I grew up, became the pest you know today," he shrugged. Maybe that was why she was avoiding him, he had been bothering her too much. After all she was in her NEWTs year, he in his OWLs, they both needed time to study not pester others.

He shrugged, glad that he hadn’t ended up that short, and often wondered why Dom was as short as she was, it wasn’t like they did things differently. Well ok so Dom played quidditch, but that wasn’t likely going to stunt her growth. She had just been the unlucky one.
"I wouldn’t know, probably, I guess she'd be sick and tired of having to look up at everyone." He honestly didn’t know whether Dom hated being short, it was like they never spoke these days. Blame it on the OWLs, he thought, and being in different houses.

She's blow her whole schedule just for him, he didn’t want her to curse at her work later just because she spent time with him. He understood that NEWTs were hard, he wouldn’t have minded if she wanted to go back and study.
"Really?" he asked, "You going have time later to study?" And then she asked what he wanted to do.
"I haven’t thought that far yet," he spoke, "do you anything in mind?"

[LYRA KARA THORNTON]

"I grew up, became the pest you know today," lyra grinned lightly. " ah true.." she teased then shook her head. "nah i can't even joke about it - you're not pest louis." she smiled lightly, meaning it. he was a good kid, and she liked his company. so he was two years below her, that didn't matter to lyra - a friend was a friend, and age was a stupid thing to resist people from hanging out.

as they spoke briefly about height and dom's short statue, lyra half smiled."I wouldn’t know, probably, I guess she'd be sick and tired of having to look up at everyone." lyra raised an eyebrow and titled her head slightly, thinking about it. "yeah .. i'm taller than her but i understand.. having to crane your neck up a lot can get tedius." lyra grinned lightly. "especially with all you guys shooting up taller and taller, whilst we girls stick to our meek five feet." she said with a small roll of her eyes and a soft smile to show she wasn't annoyed or anything. but it was true - as soon as guys reached a certain age, they just shot right up to the clouds, leaving short girls like lyra with perminant neck ache trying to look them in the face - well it was politer than just staring at their chest, which was often as high up lyra came against most guys these days.

"Really? You going have time later to study?" lyra waved it off lightly with a small movement of her left hand and grinned at him. "of cooourse. hufflepuff remember - hardworker!" she pointed at herself a rolled her eyes lightly, smiling."I haven’t thought that far yet..do you anything in mind?" lyra chewed her lip thoughtfully and then regrettably shook her head. "'fraid i havn't thought ahead that far either... hmm perhaps just start by heading out of this place? before the owls getting irritated with us for continuing to disturb the peace?" she grinned, joking of course, but wondering honestly if he wanted to head out of here or something.

[LOUIS ALEXANDER WEASLEY]

Oh Louis very much knew he was a pest, well at least in his younger years he was; always wanting to hang around his sister, it was a surprise they never pushed him away. He was lucky that Vic and Dom were willing to let him play with them as children and was even luckier that he was close to them. But it was nice to hear that Lyra didn’t think he was a pest, maybe he should hang around her more often, she'd probably change her mind after a while. He waved her off, of course she could joke about it, after all he was the one that brought it up.

Anyone and everyone seemed to be taller than Dominique. It was kind of funny to him though, she was the first born twin and yet he towered over her. He nodded, thankful that he didn’t have to crane his neck much, mainly having to look down at the short people.
"Well I could walk around on my knees, would that help?" he suggested, a bright smile on his face. Of course he was only joking, there was no way he was going to have sore knees and not to mention walking up and down stairs would be a nightmare on knees.

"Uh don’t you mean the Ravenclaws are the hardworking studiers, we Hufflepuffs tend to slack on the study front a bit," he shrugged, well in his year they did. Maybe when the OWLs got a bit closer they'd start studying more. And then there was the excitement of the tournament, he couldn’t blame anyone for not being able to study when they were excited and nervous about who would get chosen.

Oh so she hadn’t had anything in mind either. Looking up at the owls, he nodded to her, he didn’t feel like becoming something for the owls to peck at.
"That is a good idea; some look ready to swoop on us," he lowered his gaze back to Lyra, "After you."

[LYRA KARA THORNTON]

"Well I could walk around on my knees, would that help?" lyra laughed lightly and looked at him, now caught with an image of louis on his knees trailing after her when they tried to get out of here... now that was a rather hillarious image. she shook her head and grinned at him. "why yes...yes it would.." she joked, making sure it was obvious she was joking - it would be too cruel if he believed it or something.

"Uh don’t you mean the Ravenclaws are the hardworking studiers, we Hufflepuffs tend to slack on the study front a bit," lyra glanced at him and shrugged lightly with a grin. "ah who are we kidding ... we're just the best ... that's what it is." lyra's grin widened. well, she'd always loved hufflepuff - she'd never been bothered about which house she'd been put in, and hufflepuff had seemed like the best one once she'd been placed in it. people were genuine and honest and it was always fun to proove to people that hufflepuff were awesome - like winning quidditch matches.

as she mentioned the owls ahead, her gaze flickered up again and she heard louis say,"That is a good idea; some look ready to swoop on us," she nodded, eyebrows raising slightly as one particulary angry looking owl hooted and began to stretch it's wings. lyra thought it might belong to a slytherin and she glanced at louis. "yep..let's hurry." she didn't like the look of that owl and as soon as she heard louis' "After you." she smiled a thanks at him and hurried out, pausing to hold to door open for him once she was outside.

[LOUIS ALEXANDER WEASLEY]

She was joking. It was so easy to joke around with Lyra, to laugh and to simply well talk. Something about her always made him feel at ease, even the time her prank when horribly wrong and he ended up being the target. He had seen the funny side to it and wondered if one of his many cousins was behind it, until she had stepped forward and apologised. All because of a joke that had backfired, he had gained a great friend, someone he could look up to. His smile widened and wondered if his lips would slip if he smiled more. But he couldn’t help it, she always brought a smile to his face.

Of course Hufflepuff was the best, after all the both of them were in it, although how he had gotten into Hufflepuff was something that still astounded him. He had no idea why and he hadn’t bothered asking the hat, maybe he should sneak into the headmaster's office just to ask it. No that wouldn’t work, Louis wasn’t one for breaking the rules much and breaking into the headmaster's office was at the top of his not to do list.
"Yea we are the best, pity the other houses are too blinded to see that," he agreed with her.

He watched her run out before looking up again, hearing an owl hoot angrily. They had obviously overstayed their welcome. Hearing the wings rustle as the owl took flight, he gulped before making a dash towards the door.
"Quick, close it," he skidded to a halt outside, wondering just how far that owl had gotten to him, nasty creature, he thought, it must have belonged to a Slytherin, perhaps it was Malfoy’s owl.

[LYRA KARA THORNTON]

"Yea we are the best, pity the other houses are too blinded to see that," lyra grinned and nodded, shrugging lightly. "they'll learn when we beat the at quidditch .. and then we win the tournament.." she smiled, eager to cheer on their champions for hufflepuff even if she hadn't been chosen. as for the quidditch ... well she was the captain and she knew darned well how good her team were, and they were defnetly going to give the other houses a run for their money. she was certain of that.

as the owl swooped and she ran for the door, she spun on the step, hearing louis' "Quick, close it," and hurried to obey, waiting until he was next to her before she slammed it shut fast, and breathed out. lyra shook her head, curls tangled around her face and she impatiently brushed them aside. "damn slytherin's pets... always out for blood." she rolled her eyes as she muttered, half irritated and half joking.

glancing once more at the door before letting go of the door once she was sure it wouldn't burst open and that freaky owl wouldn't start trying to peck them to death. she looked at louis and raised her eyebrows slightly. "well ... that aside, wanna go for a wander?" she grinned lightly, just randomly suggsting it seeing as they were now out in the open and all and it wasn't too bad a day either.

ooc , sorry. that post was sucky /;

[LOUIS ALEXANDER WEASLEY]

Ah quidditch, he wasn’t good enough to be in the team properly, having only gotten on the reserve team but it was a position nonetheless. Not to mention he didn’t practice half as much as his cousins did, especially James, Lily and Albus. At least when they had family games, he could always match the others, especially when he was placed as a keeper. Still he didn’t mind being a reserve, at least it meant he had more time to focus on his OWLs, and who knew, maybe he could make the team properly next year.
"Oh definitely, although Hufflepuff's against Ravenclaw first, our main rivals in quidditch that should be an interesting game," he replied, "Don’t forget about winning the house cup as well, I don’t think there's much between the houses, point wise at the moment."

He took a few deep breaths, calming his racing heart as he heard Lyra curse the Slytherin pets. He looked at her for a moment before chuckling. The situation was funny, to him anyways. Maybe the owl was just determined to win as much as the Slytherin students themselves were and he couldn’t help but laugh. He quickly sobered up when she asked if he wanted to go for a wander. Looking up, the day was indeed nice; a gentle breeze was blowing but nothing to make them too cold.
"Sure, got nothing better to do," he agreed with a slight shrug to his shoudlers, starting to walk down the stone stairs.

[LYRA KARA THORNTON]

lyra had taken to training on the quidditch pitch a lot of the time what with the up-and-coming match of slytherin vs gryffindor, meaning that the hufflepuff match against ravenclaw was next up. "Oh definitely, although Hufflepuff's against Ravenclaw first, our main rivals in quidditch that should be an interesting game," lyra nodded seriously, knowing that louis was a reserve - well obvious as the captain she knew that. it wasn't that louis hadn't been good enough, more like the other person had been just a little better. she hated having to pick people for the team, she felt cruel and guilty but it had to be done, and she'd put louis up for first reserve of course. "yep, but i'm confident we can thrash 'em." she grinned.

"Don’t forget about winning the house cup as well, I don’t think there's much between the houses, point wise at the moment." lyra nodded and grinned again. "course!" she said. "never forget the house points... we've got that covered too." she said confidently with a smile and a shrug. "Sure, got nothing better to do," lyra heard her friend say as he answered her question. teasingly she rolled her eyes. "oh i see how it is ... you've nothing better to do so you'll hang out with me?" she grinned, nudgeing him lightly to show she was kidding.

looking about them she didn't know where he wanted to go, so she simple gave louis and smiled and began to descend the rest of the steps of the owlery, heading down to the bottom and looking up. the grounds stretched out far, toward the great looming, omminous forest...toward the shimmering mysterious lake.. toward the groundkeepers cabin .. there were endless choices but she simply decided to not think about it and made to just walk, setting off at a slow meadnering pace so her and louis could just chill and chat or something.



ooc , sorry. that post was sucky /;

[LOUIS ALEXANDER WEASLEY]

It was sometimes hard to believe that such a innocent looking girl was the captain of the quidditch team. He didn’t think her weak at all, just that she looked deceiving. Oh he knew how tough she could be thanks to quidditch training and all. He didn’t even feel bad when he was placed as a reserve. He knew there was always going to be people better than him just like there were some that weren’t as good as him as well.
"Definitely, Ravenclaw doesn’t stand a chance," he agreed, nodding to her.

Oh yes they definitely had the house points covered although it only took one stupid idiot from their house to make them fall to last place. He hoped no one would jeopardise their chances of winning the house cup as well, although he could name at least one person that would get points taken away and he was on the quidditch team as well.

He turned his head to look at her, oh he honestly didn’t mean it like that.
"I uh didn’t mean it like that, just that we both have nothing to do besides going for a wander unless you wanna go back in there and fend off owls for fun," he jabbed his thumb behind him, towards the Owlery door. He'd happily hang out with her any day. He watched her head down the stairs and he followed her.

[LYRA KARA THORNTON]

"Definitely, Ravenclaw doesn’t stand a chance," lyra grinned lightly and nodded. "of course... and as my alternative keeper you'd better be ready incase you need to step in.." she smiled lightly, glad that he was one of the people who understood why he was an alternate and not the main position - it was so difficult when people aruged about lyra's final say, and sometimes lyra had had to get quite tough with people. she would say she was reasonably well liked by people - she had a free, easy-going joking and friendly personality which meant she reached out to pretty much everyone, along with her honesty she was always easy to talk to .. but she certainly didn't let people walk over her - ever, and she could put her foot down when she needed to.

"I uh didn’t mean it like that, just that we both have nothing to do besides going for a wander unless you wanna go back in there and fend off owls for fun," lyra grinned and shook her head, "hey i was only joking, i know you didn't mean it like that." she smiled. she thought it was sweet that louis didn't know she was joking, but she felt kinda bad that he'd thought she was being serious - and she thought perhaps she should hang back on some of the teasing, before she really confused the poor boy.

"so anywhere specific you wanna go? " she glanced at louis with a small smile as they descended the owlery steps and paused at the bottom. "one-on-one quidditch game between friends?" she suggested lightly. she'd doen that hundreds of times over the years with friends, and it was always fun - throwing the quaffle back and forth between you and trying to score whilst the other tried to stop. it was usually easier to have a proper kinda game with two people on each side or more but still, flying was always fun whatever the situation.

ooc , sorry. that post was sucky agaaaain /;

[LOUIS ALEXANDER WEASLEY]

What did she mean by that, was the actual keeper sick, injured or did they get themselves a whole pile of detention? Or perhaps she wasn’t entirely happen with the keeper's position. Either way he'd be ready, he wasn’t going to let Lyra down or Hufflepuff.
"You know me, I’m always ready when it comes to quidditch," he replied. Maybe if he was placed in a match, he could prove to the team just how good he was, even earn himself the proper title of Keeper. Oh he could dream though.

That was definitely not funny, he thought. Why was it hard to tell if she was being serious or not. Usually girls laughed when they were joking right? In fact it seemed somewhat mean not knowing if she was joking and downright confusing.
"Oh...um, ok," he answered feeling like the biggest idiot in the world. She asked if he had anywhere specific he wanted to go. Instead of answering, he simply shook his head. And then she suggested a one on one game of quidditch. Well she was a chaser and him a keeper they went hand in hand and although he didn’t know what a one on one game would be like, he agreed.
"Sure," he smiled up at her, feeling a bit better after the whole not knowing if she was joking thing. Maybe being up in the air was what he needed and well he didn’t have to wait for a match now, if he could show her how good he was now, she may change her might about the whole alternate keeper thing. He wasn’t holding his breath for it though; she always had a good reason for doing something.

[LYRA KARA THORNTON]

"You know me, I’m always ready when it comes to quidditch," lyra smiled lightly and nodded. "of course." she said, glancing at him. she knew how frustrated he must be to be the alternative, but as captain she had to make sucky decisions like that. but if things didn't work out in their ravenclaw match then she'd offer louis the chance to be keeper.

she bit her lip as he looked a little unsure about her joking, feeling bad that he didn't seem to have realised she was joking, and now he was embarrased. she wanted to say something but she figured it was best if they just kinda forgot that. she'd have to hang back on the jokes - she didn't want louis to feel embarrased or unsure again.

"Sure," lyra smiled lightly as he agreed, nodding slightly. "alright... uhh wanna just grab brooms, a quaffle and head out there?" she asked, not really bothered with the whole 'grabbing quidditch robes, all balls' thing. they could just kinda mess around a bit, practise a bit of passing, she could perhaps test him a little on keeping. lyra couldn't help but love quidditch, and she wanted to be a proffessional quidditch player once she left here. there was nothing that could beat flying through the air on your broom, whether it was quidditch practise, a match or just flying...

[LOUIS ALEXANDER WEASLEY]

Ah good, she hadn’t suggested to get dressed up in the uniforms. Honestly Louis saw it pointless to dress in the quidditch uniform when it was only training, why bother dirtying the uniform for nothing? Brooms and a quaffle, check now hopefully no one was on the pitch.
"They'd all be in the change rooms, it’s on the way there," he replied. Well that was if no one else was using the pitch and balls.

He walked in silence, just thinking. He tended to contemplate things a lot, often thinking things through before he done something, not like the majority of his family who tended to rush into things. It was really a wonder how he was actually a part of the family.
"Hey Ly, have you thought of what you're going to do after this year?" he asked, looking at her as he walked on. He himself wanted to do what his Uncle Charlie done and yet he had told no one. Why would anyone take him seriously, Louis Weasley the quiet one of the family wanting to work in such a dangerous job? Even he would laugh at himself if he wasn’t being serious. Oh but he was, he just loved dragons and hoped to one day get to ride one. How would dragons go replacing brooms in quidditch, now that was an interesting thought.

[LYRA KARA THORNTON]

"They'd all be in the change rooms, it’s on the way there," lyra nodded, knowing this due to the fact that as captain, it was often her job to take back the balls after quidditch practises, leaving her responsible for them when it was her teams turn to practise. she walked quietly beside louis, the silence comfortable as it was between friends when they didn't feel the need to fill it with meaningless mentionings..like 'isn't the weather nice today' or something. there was nothing worse than an awkward silence, so lyra was glad this wasn't one of those times.

"Hey Ly, have you thought of what you're going to do after this year?" lyra pulled herself out of her thoughts as she heard louis speak and smiled lightly. "well i've kinda always wanted to be a proffessional quidditch player.. but i don't know if i'd be good enough to make it or anything. i'd like to hope so." she said lightly, having no idea what else she'd even consider doing should she not get to be a quidditch player. it's all she's ever wanted, and probably will ever want to be. she knew it'd be a tough fight to get into a team, and to keep up the training but she wanted to do it, and she hoped she could.
