"So no matter what happens, you'll always have her as a good friend, right?" Which was... better than not having her as anything at all.

At Kaiden's next inquiry, James... hesitated. She stared at him for a moment, her expression unreadable. He was... serious again, wasn't he? He didn't know about professional Quidditch - or, better yet, why the phrase Appleby Arrows was plastered all over her office? Was he Muggleborn? But he was... older, wasn't he? Certainly he had heard the other students converse about their favorite professional Quidditch teams over the years. Did he think they were joking with him and such a thing didn't really exist? Did he think Quidditch was just a sport in schools?

"There are, actually, yes," Erin replied brightly, seemingly unfazed by his question despite her actual disbelief. "The British and Irish Quidditch League was established in 1674 and currently consists of thirteen teams," she explained, rising from her desk to move toward a bookshelf as she spoke. "And yes, people really do get paid to play." She laughed a bit at that as she plucked a copy of Quidditch Teams of Britain and Ireland from the shelf and brought it over to Kaiden. "There's just thirteen in the league - which you can read about here, if you want to borrow it - but there are many professional teams worldwide." She extended the book to him, studying his face for signs of... understanding of some sort.

Being a friend was a good foundation... okay... "ButwhatifImessitup? Whatifshedoesn'tlikeme?" Because those were very serious issues. What if she didn't want to be his friend anymore? What if she did like him, and then decided she didn't anymore?

And she was doing it again. Professor Quidditch Lady was giving him that look. Like he didn't know anything at all. He knew stuff, just not all about this magic stuff. Or maybe its because there weren't any professional teams, and she just thought she was dumb. Wait, she just said there were! "Really?" the boy grinned. "I thought Professor Space Man was just making stuff up." He watched as she got up, and moved away. This was all really awesome. Seeing the book, Kaiden reached for it eagerly "Yes please." Looking down at it, then asked. "So then its like Racing? or no, more like Basketball or Hockey or something?"
