Isla nodded. "Oh, I don't disagree with you at all," she pointed out. "It's my parents, definitely not me." Granted she hadn't approached them with the subject in at least a good year, so she might just get a completely different answer now. "It probably had something to do with first years not being allowed their own broom. Now that I'm a second year, they'll hopefully see it as money well spent." It wasn't that they didn't have the money. They did. It was just that her parents were practical people and didn't want to buy a broom that would just take up space in a broom shed.

Oh, so he'd be attending Hogwarts? With his twin sister (she was guessing)? "That's cool! I'm a Slytherin! Maybe we'll end up in the same house!" she said. That would be helpful, seeing as he was volunteering to help her with Quidditch. But before they could get any further along with that conversation, Isla's mom appeared in the doorway and gestured for her to come along. "I guess we're heading home for now," she said, turning back to her new friend. "It was cool meeting you, though!" She turned on her heels and headed to join her mom for the trip home. They had lots to discuss.

"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." Isla nodded.
