It was even worse that she was still holding on to his leg, so she was hurtling around the room, too. But if she let go, that would probably send her ramming into a wall or something.
So she kept spinning, until they did smash into a wall, even though she hadn't let go or anything. .. OW. That hurt, y'know. But at least it stopped the spinning, right? And they were higher now, which meant that there were loads of meteors right there, within her reach. "Are you okay, Cactus?" Alice asked distractedly, reaching out to grab a yellow meteor. It didn't move.. and her gloved hand extended toward it.. YES.
"I'VE GOT ONE!" Finally.
His spinning was impeded by the Gryffindor queen holding on to his ankle, and Mo was fully cognizant of that fact as he hurtled toward the nearest wall. They were like some gigantic, hilarious, multi-house pinwheel, only this could not
possibly be his fault and the professor better not even think of taking away points for it. What did he think would happen when a ball hit a glove at high speed like that?
They hit the wall and Mo sort of clung to the bricks for dear life. "I'm okay," he muttered to poor Alice, who hadn't deserved to get thrown against a wall just because Mo couldn't catch. He felt
awful about that. "Are you hurt?" He tilted his head down to look at her and watched the meteor practically float into her glove.
OKAY NOT FAIR. Mo gave the remaining meteors a hard look, like he blamed them all personally for not flying into his glove immediately. He sort of DID blame them, actually. "C'mon, Your Highness. I gotta get me some meteors," Mo reached for Alice's hand until he was hanging upside down. This was... different. Not bad, but not... really very good either.
