Still touching his toes, he looked up at Septimus and smiled, “I was born ready! Ready to hit some bludgers!” a wide grin appearing across his face now.
Ewan watched now as more students arrived, giving them a nod each as they arrived. Standing up straight now, he moved his arms around in a circle, pulling them in different directions to warm them up. “I’m ready” he replied to Hanna, “I’ve had a little practice hitting things this summer” a small chuckle escaping his mouth now.
Juniper did not seem to appreciate his little joke. Ooops. I guess she did not see the clear smile across his face. “I was just kidding Juniper” not wanting to fall out with her when he could well be on the team this year.
Dropping all humour from his face now, he listened intently to her instructions. Grabbing his broom from the floor next to him, he shot off instantly without looking back to see if anyone was following. There was once a time where this would have scared him but not anymore. Not now. It was almost like riding a muggle push bike now as he soared through the air, his mind wandering towards the beaters bat that would soon be in his hand. Leaning closer to his broom, he picked up speed, ready to finish his five laps.
