 Swedishfish Girl! Madame Librarian! Jess's Soul Sister! Sweetest Swede!
It was refreshing and exhilarating to be making laps around the quidditch pitch on her broom. Ellie didn't know she had missed it so much until this minute. She regretted not trying out for quidditch, but there was always next year and she had flying lessons at least to look forward to and participate in. Flying and feeling the wind her hair Ellie almost made a pouty sound as she heard Professor MacKenzie blow the whistle to land.
Landing as smoothly as she could Ellie took her position near a girl from Slytherin and held onto her broom as the lesson got started. Thinking about the question she raised her hand and said "When my whole extended family meets every year in the summer we play a game of quidditch on my grandparents open field and I've tried the keeper tactic that is called starfish and stick then. You are supposed to hold one hand and one foot on the broom while you stretch your body outward to block quaffles. It's a very difficult move that i have so far not managed. I've even fallen off my broom a couple of times. Luckily i haven't injured myself too badly."
