Like maybe homework or something. So...lots could conflict with her ability to watch Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff tryouts.
"Don't feel too bad. I missed the first tryout he went to." For...reasons. Angry ones that had caused her not to sleep at all that night until she'd finally sorta dozed off later on around the time the tryout started. But all that was behind them now, thankfully. Now was the time to focus on cheering once he scored again, as Alice suggested. "Maybe we could try out that Sonorus spell thing. The one that makes your voice louder?" Then they could be REALLY obnoxious about the cheering. Heh.
"Yeah." Alice had stopped watching now, her eyes dropping to the folded hands in her lap. Not that it mattered, anyway, because the Slytherin team's practice was ending now and there was no one she wanted to watch anymore. Maybe the Ravenclaws would come out sometime? Or the Hufflepuffs, and then she could do watching on behalf of other people or something.
Penelope had missed Ascanius' first tryouts, though? That didn't seem like a very Shark Bait-ish thing to do, and Alice's mind started wondering almost immediately.
"Why?" Maybe she was napping or eating or doing other stuff that Penelopes did in their free time.
"I know Sonorus. We can try that the next time they're trying out," she nodded, glancing at the empty pitch again.
