"Oh, I am! Yes! My very good friend Juni is trying out with me. And Miss Prefect Jessa, of course." Who Chloe admired SO much. "Friends make playing more fun. I'll keep that in mind. And we can definitely practice together. I will fit you into my schedule for sure." Speaking of her schedule. "I should get back to studying. You'll be okay?"
She smiled, thankful Chloe had friends on the team and that she would be a tough competitor. She didn't like it when the older students took it easy on her, just because she was younger. Her age had nothing to do with how well she played. Nope. She could keep up with the best of them.
"Sounds like a plan. I wish you the best with your studying. I think I'll climb back behind the statue and take a little rest before heading back to the Hufflepuff common room. No need for me to hurry back." She waved to Chloe and easily maneuvered behind the statue, using her book bag as a little pillow. She would have to remember Chloe's idea of bringing a real pillow the next time. It would be much more comfortable. And, snacks. Snacks were a must.
