"Since we can't play this year, do you think we could borrow a couple brooms from the school and just play for fun, during our free time I mean?"
Mariel listened vaguely, trying to stay awake, as Jenn listed the classes she was eager to try. Care of Magical Creatures. Mariel hadn't given that one much thought. Could it be useful? Mariel wasn't sure but thought she could check it out. If it proved to be dull or unnecessary Mariel figured she could drop it later. Then she asked her about Dominic.
Mariel frowned slightly. What did she think about Dominic? She hadn't given him any thought since they were on the train. She thought he had been mildly interesting until he proclaimed himself as a book hater. That, Mariel could not comprehend. Of course his explanation was almost amusing. Still, Mariel hated gossip and did not want to indulge in it. Shrugging, she looked back up at Jenn. "Oh, I don't know... He made the train ride somewhat interesting, I guess." She looked around at the faces at their table. "I don't see him here, so I'd assume he didn't get sorted into Ravenclaw."
Patricia was chomping along, eating her meal quietly, idly listening to Mariel and the other girl named Jenn. She wondered out loud, "
Do you think we'd be allowed to use the school broomsticks without having the teachers about?" She threw the question to everyone around the table, maybe one of them would know the answer. "
Since we are firsties and all..."
She looked around the table, hoping someone might speak up about the subject. She eventually looked back to Mariel and whispered, "
What do you think? Nobody seems to know. Maybe its not allowed for first years..." she took a quick look behind her shoulder before adding, "
Unless we borrow them when no one is watching?" She impishly smiled at her idea, trying to prod Mariel along.
