That's be just what she told her parents when she got home. She hadn't asked them about her own broom in about a year, so who knew what they'd say now.

Isla perked up. "I do go to Hogwarts! I'm a second year now," she said, her enthusiasm showing in her tone of voice. "I've never seen you there. Are you going to be a first year?" Either that, or he was a transfer. He looked like a first year, though. "That's what I want to do...play for fun. Well, for now, at least." If she got good enough and wanted to play for a team, then so be it.

She shifted her weight from one foot to the other and thought about his questions. "Definitely not the seeker. I don't want all that pressure on me," she started. "I'm think maybe keeper or beater. Maybe chaser." In other words, she really didn't have a clue. Just not seeker. That was something she was sure of!

The look on Lukas' face was one of pure puzzlement. In his mind that made hardly any sense at all. Someone can't get better at something unless they practiced and it was hard to practice if you didn't have the necessary items to practice with. In this case it would be a broom. "It's the only way to get better," he replied nodding his head. "If you want to learn to play Quidditch you have to start somewhere.. and that somewhere would be with getting a broom. If they let you get one now or maybe even for Christmas or something you would have lots of time to become a good flier and learn to play Quidditch so you can tryout for the team next term." That was some serious logic right there in his mind. Plus, didn't they have to take flying lessons while at Hogwarts?

She was a second year. Not to far off in his initial judgement on her age. Not that it even mattered at all. "This will be my first year," he nodded enthusiastically. "And my sisters too." He was a twin after all. "It should be about having fun. What's the point in playing a sport you don't like?"

"Playing seeker is fun. Sure you have to catch the snitch but that's basically it." And avoid being hit by bludgers but that's what the beaters were there for. "Once you learn to play you can always try all the positions and see which one you like best."
