Emma realllyyy should have paid more attention to who was quidditch prospects and who played for the U17, but given that she hadn't even considered trying out herself until recently, she had been absolutely clueless of Ary's sister Nadia's status on England's team. So when the older Gryffindor girl brought up the team, she had to admit she was shocked on many accords. She wasn't completely naive though, in that she did know the U17 only played during the summer months. "Maybe because that is just a summer league? So uh... how do you feel then?" Was it wrong to ask an opposing team member for advice? It was good sportsmanship, right? She'd probably offer advice to younger students regardless of house, should she ever get the chance. But Emma wasn't sure how Nadia felt about that.
Oh. Doh. Emma wasn't very good with word associations "Oh... right. I think bowtruckles maybe prefer the trees closer to the forbidden forest?" she looked back at the tree that she was still hugging, as she hadn't really moved from her mid-climb since her classmates joined her. "Apology accepted. I really should pay attention to the long grass, particularly with aspirations to play quidditch. Wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of a bludger, should my attention waver," she grinned sheepishly.
And then Anna offered all sorts of advice about performing and Emma had kept her holding on the tree and her gaze on the older hufflepuff as she said she needed to focus on one play at a time. Don't think about comparing to others about how much she wanted the play for the team. But all that made a lot of sense actually when she considered her dance recitals of pre-Hogwarts days, which had been four years already since her last performance? She was young then so some of the advice given was very different to the advice Anna was talking about, but also not much. "I never had a solo dance performance, but I remember when I was dancing, I tried as much to focus on my own performance. But my instructor also said to pay attention to others too, because we didn't need a collision on stage. I'd imagine that quidditch tryouts are much of the same... focus on yourself and your own space."
