Default catching up!
curly haired prefect - "sometimes I get angry!" - 30/90 - *chicken emoji* - probably @ Disney - I speak dog

Nettie simply stared and listened to the Professor and this Adi guy as they explained the rules of cricket. She had NO clue what half these words meant. Yorker? Bowling? Wicket? WHAT DID THEY MEAN? She was scribbling anxiously on her parchment, trying to keep up with it as best she could.

She watched the demonstration of "bowling" - which, this was definitely NOT bowling but ok - and then took the ball to get ready to do it herself. It was sort of like playing Chaser. Except not really. But she was going to use those Chaser muscles to CHUCK this thing as best she could at the...wicket, right?

Gearing up, she increased her speed, did a little hop thing, and SHOT the ball at the wicket like Adi had done...and watched as it instead landed about two feet shy of the wicket. Hmpf. That hadn't worked out well at all...
