Zombie Apocalypse Team Leader ★ ★ in a crown of pepperoni and artisan cheese The past five years had prepared him for this moment. Aaron, who had really wanted to try out since his first year and hadn't been able to muster the confidence, finally felt like he could contribute to the team. In a positive way. THANKS, mostly, to SOME VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE...like Hassan, Abra, Junia, and....WEST. Okay, so actually...mostly Hassan and West. Aaron had ran drills with his cousin and the former Slytherin Captain all summer, even skiving off from his violin lessons so that he might be able to actually make a difference. A team was only as good as it's smaller parts, and the smol Hufflepuff desperately wanted to be one of those smaller pieces that made the whole machine work better. West had even lent him one of his old brooms. As far as this Botros was concerned, luck was on his side! What could possibly go wrong!?
Bouncing out to the pitch with said broom slung over his shoulder, he took a moment to have a look at who was already assembled.... And promptly started blushing when he caught sight of BEL. She was so pretty.... with the brightest eyes he'd ever seen! She'd really pulled it out for the Puffer team the previous term, as the seeker... It was why Aaron wouldn't be going out for that position today (even though he really, REALLY wanted to be one). Bel was already amazing and they didn't need to look anywhere else. "Hey, Miss Bel!" He all but charged the older girl, remembering at the last moment about people having boundaries and needing personal space. Instead, he stood a few feet away and beamed. "It's a good day for quidditch, yeah?".... He'd completely missed the two Prefects standing nearby, having honed in on the captain. EEEEE, he was so excited. So much so that his body was practically vibrating with nervous energy... Oh...maybe he should warm up? Yeah, that was important. Hassan had mentioned it over and over again, before their pickup games and practice sessions.
A bit sheepish, but absolutely still full with energy, he put West's his broom aside and went to start on laps.
