 Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite
She didn't entirely know what possessed her to borrow a school broom (hers had been left at home since quidditch was not one of the anticipated things for the term and wouldn't be needed unless she made the team) and head down to the pitch for Ravenclaw tryouts. Quidditch...wasn't something she planned to make a career out of. It wasn't something she really had a lot of time for.....and she couldn't guarantee that if it was a potion long in the making, or an observation that wasn't concluded, she'd be on time for practices....
Maybe this was a bad idea. On the walk over to the pitch, she'd managed to convince herself it wasn't, afterall training with Cameron for two years now she felt she had a better grasp of it than when she'd first considered the sport.
But she'd never played with a whole team against a whole other team. Oh Merlin this really was a bad idea. She'd get distracted. Her mind would be all over trying to figure everything out at once and put it all on one plain. Circe she didn't even know what position she was trying out for. Cam had taught her beating but..........in a real game....she couldn't help but think how......terrifying it would all be. Then again, beaters had a bat. They were probably safest on the pitch by virtue of the fact they were the only ones equipped to defend themselves (and supposedly their teammates) against bludgers.
Oh Merlin, oh Merlin, oh Merlin. She didn't have time for this, and she probably didn't have the coordination. What was she thinking when she filled in that signup sheet?
That it would be fun, that's what. All it took was a small bout of overthinking to change her mind but by then she'd already walked onto the pitch..... "Hey Juni." She greeted her housemate once she was close enough, internally weighing the pros and cons of turning around right now and heading back to the castle. This was a mistake at best and a disaster at worst. What did she REALLY know about Quidditch outside of games she'd seen? "What position are you trying for?" Just talk it off. Maybe the anxiety would pass before Kirk got here and she wouldn't end up walking away afterall. "I'm nearly positive I have no idea what I'm doing." Again, Cam WAS teaching her stuff, but there was only so much experience you could gain from one on one.
Ooooohhhhh Merlin.
