Yesterday. Yes. It was yesterday that he'd remembered Ellie about going to the Whomping Willow, right? However, he was NOT, at all, going to climb the stairs all the waaay up, just to come down again.

That's why they were meeting here. It was better.

And certainly less tiring. An understatement, because he was lying on the ground near the tree with his backpack serving as a pillow. Melanie was too tough on them during practices and he'd been more and more tired as the school year was coming to a close. At least he had no problem facing Ravenclaw again. He was now bored with the idea. Except for one red exception that came with the opposite team.

If only he'd managed to wake up the first game day, then he wouldn't be minding the Championship teams.

That's what was going around in his head as his eyes focused on the sky, perfectly blue, up there...with...oh, the poor birdie that was now dead thanks to one of the Willow's branches.
