“Nice to meet you too Mia", Simon replied before tilting his head curious as to her question. His companion seeming pretty sure of it yet he knew he didn’t give off the usual air of a quidditch player especially when around books and he hadn’t pined his captain’s badge onto his school uniform so he had no clue as to why. However as he followed her gaze upward he soon found out feeling inwardly sheepish he forgot the broom’s presence stood out as proof.
“Off and on most years though a certainty this term,” he answered, a hand unconsciously moving to the back of his neck. “Seeing as I was asked to be captain,” he added a little quieter than his usual volume.
That's what she had feared. The OWL's were going to be harder but according to Simon not that bad. Mia made a face and then ran her hand through her hair. "Maybe not for those who are actually good at magic. I'm not really that good myself." Well at least she had stopped inadvertently setting things on fire. She gave Simon an appreciative smile, she was grateful that he had been trying to make her feel better about them. "All I can do is try eh?"
Mia watched him with amusement as his hand rubbed the back of his neck. All boys seemed to do that and still she wondered why? At his confession however, her eyes widened a little and an even broader smile spread across her face. "Oh hey! That's great. Congratulations!" She wondered why he seemed so self conscious about that?
"I've never seen a game of quidditch." She mused looking out the window of the train, thinking of all the things she had missed over the years. Mia turned back to look at Simon again. "You must be really good, huh?"
