Hello, Daddy! Hello, Mom! I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb!
Hannah smiled at Demetria. "Of course!" she said. She was so glad to be back and making new friends. She saw a rather tall, blonde girl come in. At first she didn't pay much attention to her, but then she saw the sign she hung up. "Hi," she said to the girl. "My name is Hannah, Hannah Weasley. You're our Quidditch captain, right? I just wanted to tell you that I'm looking forward to tryouts. I've never played on an official team before," she smiled. "And even if I don't make it, I'm very much looking forward to the matches this year!" She was sincere about this; of course she wanted to make the team, but even if she didn't, it would be ok. She'd have other chances, this was only her second term.
"Oh," she said to Piper. "I didn't realize you were American! I guess I should have, because of the accent, but I can be a bit blonde sometimes," she said with a grin. "I've only been there a few times to visit some family, but I liked it." She didn't want to say more because she could see the tears welling up in Piper's eyes. She knew the feeling of homesickness well.
