This. This was one of the BEST feelings.

Performing a few tight zigzags as he rose - just to give his broom a bit of a warm up too - Derf came to a comfortable hover and then glances back at Bel and pulled one of his arms across his chest, pushing in on the elbow a bit to stretch. "This doesn't look too bad," he noted casually as he looked over the obstacle course.

Bel liked running. It wasn't the running in particular, it was feeling her muscles moving, it was that euphoria that came from just going like ham without any particular concern about energy conservation or pacing herself. Just running out of sheer childish joy. Any physical activity felt good that way. Much better than sitting still and stagnating. So she was smiling when they got to the beginning of the obstacle course. She stretched out a little before jumping on her (Cam's) broom and neatly joining Derfael in the air, continuing her stretching as she rose up and up to hover at his side.

And he was right, it DIDN'T look bad. In fact:

"It looks fun!" Okay but just quickly she needed some advice here. "D?" She whispered, "Are we supposed to... you know.... show off, or keep it simple?" She wasn't sure if it was a thing with Quidditch or not, or if people would be judge-y or derisive if you did showboat. Not that she was inclined to do so unless it made sense, but she wasn't completely sure how this thing would be judged. Keep it simple or pull out some tricks? She was about tricks for a purpose and not for the aesthetic but...

how did you know if what you were doing was enough for a team or not?
