He was out of breath actually and he still a little dazed from the fall. He had to reach back before the others but it seemed impossible, he still had a long way to go.
Oh?
Is he challenging me? Ira thought..
Just wait until I win the race! Thinking so, Ira pulled up her sack and started hopping back.
Come on Ira you can do this..
And she saw that she was going a bit more faster than the speed at which she had come. Maybe, it was because her body had adapted to the situation and was now responding favorably? Whatever it was, it was good. Huffing and panting a little, Ira hopped forwards and came on level with the Hufflepuff boy.
