Was everyone else following this? Because Abra was not following this. Deliveries? Legal? Illegal? Overs and runs and bowling, oh my.
He tried to listen and pay attention, he really did, and it was any wonder that steam wasn't pouring from his ears as he tried. His brain just wasn't wired for sports other than Quidditch, he decided, though he did stare intently at the guy - Adi - as he spoke, trying to at least look like he was understanding when actually he really really wasn't actually. In fact, the best part of the explanation was not to worry if it was all confusing. Bit of a relief, really.
It wasn't until Professor Stewart spoke to Noble that he realised the Potions professor had turned up, given how intently he'd been staring at Adi while trying to understand what he was saying, and Abra jumped as soon as he noticed him. Merlin, don't sneak up on a guy like that.
Back to the lesson, and it was time to get practicing. This was also something of a relief, because it meant getting up and moving around again, which was just what Abra needed to try and work off this horrible chill. He was a little uncertain about this whole throwing business - or 'bowling', or whatever; Abra was a Seeker, he caught things rather than threw them. But, well, he'd give it a go. He sort of had to. That was sort of the whole point of the lesson.
Retrieving a ball, Abra went ahead and found a free wicker. ... Wicker? Yes, okay, it was called a wicker now. He could have tried to copy the example given, and that was probably the general idea, but mostly Abra was focused on hitting the thing. With some of hesitance, he threw the ball underarm at the wicker, and undershot it by about three feet. Because of course he did.
Well, the ball was heavy!
