AHHHH. Well that made sense. Derf was magnificent to look at. Any smart person, male OR female, would be flustered in his presence!

"Oh, you mean Derf? He IS very cute," she said matter of factly, not even caring that the boy in question was still totally in ear shot. "I like his hair. But there's LOT of cute boys at Hogwarts. An INSANE amount, actually," she assured her. Pretty girls too. If that was your thing.

Hogwarts actually had ridiculously stupid attractive people. It was strange. She made a mental note to ask Jimmy if that had been the case at Beauxbatons, although he might not be the best consultant - any girl with legs was a target in his eyes. Eyeroll.

"I think...I'm going to do the Nimbus. It's a classic, tons of good reviews...why the heck not?" she asked with a grin. That was the saying, yes? She was finally starting to get comfortable with the English slang! "I'm going to try out for Chaser again, but also try for Seeker. I used to play that in my youth league, but I didn't get it last term," she informed her new friend. In case she was wondering...or looking for a new topic of conversation.
The redness in Dizzy's face deepened enough that it was clear as day now over her lightly tanned complexion. It wasn't so much finding Derf hot. Okay, yes.
He was hot. And a hero. No, it was how she reacted that embarrassed Dizzy. Mostly.

Dizzy Luijendijk was better than that! She'd not reacted that way to any of the cute and/or hot classmates at Beauxbatons, and the school had a fountain that literally made the student population more beautiful.

Wait...did that mean Hogwarts had a similar fountain as well, if everyone there was also really attractive?

Dizzy shook her head to clear her thoughts for now.

Back to brooms. "Why the heck not?" she repeated. Dizzy hadn't heard that expression before (was it an expression?), but there was something about it; something about how it sounded she liked. "You tried out last year?" And hadn't made it despite playing in a youth league, Dizzy noted. That did not bode well for her then. Most of her personal experience with Quidditch, was watching the world cups with her Dad dressed all in orange. But Dizzy was going to try out anyhow. "Any pointers for me? I'm thinking of trying out too. Maybe as a beater." Batting angry blubgers at people's heads seemed like it could be great fun.
