"I do, too, actually. My favorite weather for matches. No falling snow, just cool temperatures, maybe with a soft breeze," James remarked conversationally, drifting around the girl in a wide semi-circle behind her, a genuine, warm smile forming at the corners of her lips and her eyes in amusement at her question. "No, it just felt like a nice day for a flight. That all right? Thought I'd toss a Quaffle around a bit. D'you play?" Obviously she didn't at school, but perhaps she dabbled a bit in her free time.
After just a moment, Erin raised a curious eyebrow and inquired further, "What's your name, dear?" Certainly she would recognize the name if it had been on a Quidditch sign-up sheet. If she had tried out, James would likely feel a bit silly; if not, James was ready to get to the bottom of why. What could hold someone back if they loved flying?
"Cold weather is my favorite weather in general," Dora changed her flying course, without speeding up of flying higher, so that the professor was never behind her while they talked.
"But for flying this is best." Not hot and sticky like it could get in some places. It did make her relax a bit internally when she found out she wasn't going to be kicked off the pitch, especially since she was already in the air and all.
"It's your pitch, professor. You can fly it whenever you want." A small smile of amusement did tweak at the corners of her lips.
Professor James was nice. Dora had heard it, but she wasn't one to believe everything she heard because it always wasn't true, except for now.
"I don't play, but virtually all of my friends play, and my best is captain for the Gryffindors." So Dora knew the rules and everything, but she herself just didn't care for playing, she much preferred to observe and cheer.
"Isidora Miroslava." She supplied, not at all phased at the woman not knowing her name. She would have been surprised if she had known her name, seeing how she never attended any of the lessons and never tried out.
"I only come out here for matches, or practices." Cause she was a supportive friend and all.
