"I'm sure it'll be fine." Nia sat forward and reached the coffee closer to her, before wrapping her hands round it. "I'm not fussy, as long as it's caffeinated." She gave him a light wink at that. "I'm all too aware you have a sports section," Nia replied with a chuckle and shaking her head. "It was more the scope of it, that I was interested by." Gosh, she'd had her picture in the back pages enough to know there was a sports section! "Seems fair," she added, as he explained. "It's hard to be taken seriously as a young player, and it's not ideal that Hogwarts didn't host matches this year. I should know...quidditch was cancelled in my seventh year too." No ministry organised tryout for her, but luckily it'd still turned out good in the end. "I'm glad Mariel and the Quidditch division are giving them this chance."

Nia thought of her brother a moment, making a mental node to take him to training before he went to school - whichever one it might be. Maybe he'd get on with Kalla's kid cousin who sometimes came; she should really introduce them. "Hard after his two eldest siblings have been through there though - being 11 years our junior, of course he wants to go too. I wouldn't like to argue against him, that's for sure." Cute but stubborn, that kid. Probably the best of both Nia and her twin, really. "I think it's all a concern, but the exam results remain good despite everything else going on. And that's got to count for something..."

Nia gave a wry smile. "I'm sorry to hear that. I think it can be easy to forget that Quidditch can be dangerous when you see the Pros play. It's one of the reasons I'm getting in to coaching the kiddy leagues." She nodded. "Mariel dragged you to many games?"

Taking a sip of her coffee, Nia too glanced down at the quill. She couldn't easily read the notes it was making from where she sat, but she hoped it wasn't adding too much extra to what she said. "That's a really good question..." she replied with a smile, putting her coffee back down on the table. "I started out as a beater in my first year at Hogwarts, but soon became known as the all-rounder of the team, even filling in as seeker for an unfortunate couple of matches in my fifth year." Nia lowered her gaze slightly, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. Seeking hadn't been her finest moment. "I loved beating - still do it in training sometimes - but when I became Ravenclaw Captain in my sixth year, I had to make the choice. I had two great beaters in the form of Ellie St-, I mean, Lockhart, and Jacob Blunt, and so Chasing was where I found my home. I've always been known as a tactical player, and generally being the only left-hander on the team...well, yeah, it makes a difference."

She took another sip of coffee before considering his next question. "Yes, the Harpies. A dream come true, as a childhood fan. I loved every minute in the dark green." EVERY minute. Training or playing, it was all the same. Nia lived quidditch. "But after nine years there, the Bats came to me with a really great offer...and the prospect of a new challenge? Well, it was too good to miss. So here I am. There's a different dynamic between the teams, of course, but I wouldn't say one is better than the other...although our mascot is pretty awesome." She chuckled. Jorge had seen the bat at the Meet and Greet, right? "For me on a personal level, I've been able to grow a lot more at the Bats. I get to do some coaching too, with the reserves, and I love seeing that talent and getting to develop it."
