She blinked. Ballycaste Bats? Yep, she had NO earthly idea who they were until Jack mentioned them being a Quidditch team. "That would be great if you played on the..." She never finished her sentence, because of what had just come out of Jack's mouth. Her heart nearly skipped a beat as she just stared at her boyfriend.

He would have to - what? DROP OUT OF HIS LAST YEAR?!

She slowly took the letter out of Jack's hand and opened it up. Her eyes scanned the page and when she was done reading, she folded it back up and looked up at Jack. "This is probably an honor right here. No, wait, this IS an honor even if it is the reserve team," she finally said. "And, I'm proud that they want you on the team." I'm not proud that you might have to drop out of your last year, though, she added in her head.

"I'm taking it that you haven't made your final decision yet," she said as she handed him back the letter. "You're right, you do have a lot of time to think about it." It was tough to think about Jack making the decision to go and not coming back next year, which would probably result in them breaking up since she knew she couldn't do a long-distance relationship. Gah, it was heartbreaking to think about it!

She knew Jack said that he was probably not going to drop out, so maybe he was leaning more towards staying at school. "So, are you leaning more towards staying out school?" She asked.

Jack nodded. "Yeah, definitely leaning towards staying...I mean, I can't be a Quidditch player forever, right?" he said with a small chuckle. Despite what he said, there was a tiny part of Jack's brain that was reminding him that he had NO idea what he wanted to do with his life besides Quidditch. After getting that letter, he really didn't WANT to do anything else now that his once far-off dream had now become a reality. Sure, that whole astronaut thing would have been awesome, but did he REALLY expect NASA to except someone without any REAL muggle schooling into their training camp? Of course not! The only way he'd stand a chance of getting in there was to Confund them all.

And now that he had the letter--he didn't want to do anything except play Quidditch. But the logical part of his brain kept telling him that he should stay and finish his education...you know, just in case it didn't work out.

Plus, did he really want to leave Reese behind? And Chris? And Torin, Fyo, Rafe, Cela, Daphne and all his other friends before he was ready? Of course not! He wasn't ready to say goodbye to them. Not even CLOSE.

He paused and bit his lip again. "The only thing that...erm...might change that, is if they write back and say that I only have one opportunity or something. In that case, I kind of HAVE to take it," he explained. He'd be loony to let that opportunity just pass on by.
