And Professor Quidditch Lady, She knew all about quaffles right? Because quidditch. "Err... Okay." He said rubbing the back of his neck. "So... there's this quaffle right? A really pretty one... That I really like... So, how does one 'Score' exactly?" As soon as he finished, he looked at the other too. There better not be any laughing.
Oh, Keeper Lady worked with elephants? That was cool. "Did you get to ride one?" he asked curiously. He didn't mean to interrupt, but it was just so neat. Right, so he would just be quiet now, even if things were interesting. Like the present and the envelope. Ohhh, what was that? "Mm," James hummed in reply as she popped a peppermint into her own mouth and strode behind her desk to take a seat, properly looking at her company now. This Kaiden boy was a curious one, wasn't he? Speaking in riddles - he was fearless though, Erin thought, as he pressed forward with his question in front of two girls. Erin assumed neither were the quaffle in question, but she still tried to play along with his attempts at secrecy.
"You're asking... how to... score?" She paused, a smile dancing upon her lips. That was a silly way to put it. "Mister Yarborough, you were the top Chaser in the school last term - you don't need any advise on how to score. Just... be yourself - err, fly... naturally. Relax, aim, shoot. Don't tense up, it's bad for the joints -" was he following her? "and don't show off or try to impress anyone - that's when you overshoot and miss. But don't... let your guard down either - keep your eyes open for opportunities to shoot. Don't let them pass you by - someone'll steal the quaffle right from under your nose. He who hesitates is lost."
That all made sense, didn't it? Probably? "And... keep in mind, there are thousands of quaffles out there in the world if you miss with this one. It won't be the end of the world. There will be other Quidditch matches to take part in, new teams, new... environments." Erin's face contorted for a moment, stopping herself to ensure that she was still making some sort of point.
Nah. She couldn't figure out where she was going with that one.
...But she might as well figure out how much she actually helped. "Does that make sense?"
