“Oh. I just assumed it was like muggle sports.” But maybe not all. Did soccer players make enough to retire or did they forever rely on marketing? Which… “You’re pretty, if you went pro you could probably get some sponsors and do advertisements and such for them and make some income that way? And if you’re really good and have name recognition, they’d use you even AFTER you were done in the league.” See! There would still be ways. And she wouldn’t have to go to school for those things.

“It’s really about excitement about the subject that matters for reporting. And you seem to have plenty of that regarding Quidditch.” But if she also didn’t want to do that, she didn’t want to do that and that was fine. He blinked a bit at her second comment. “I don’t think that’s true.” Mamie was smart, perhaps healing was just not where her interests lay.

“Okay.” Didn’t have to tell him twice when it came to food.

She frankly had no idea if playing Quidditch was like Muggle sports. Even so, she was fairly certain only the very best players in a league could retire from the sport and not work anymore, and even then the best people could get hurt and have to retire early. She wasn't stupid, she knew she needed a backup plan. He--did he just say she was pretty? "Oh...thank...you." What did being pretty have to do with being good at Quidditch, though? She gave him a quizzical look. "Do you think being pretty is more important than being good?"

She thought about the reporting thing. Maybe she could find a way to do reporting without having to actually write a whole bunch. "Maybe I could do the commentary!" That sounded more exciting than writing an article about a match after it happened.

She started away from the gates, looking back to see if Evan was coming.
