Even caught the snitch once....but that didn't erase the thirteen years of self doubt.
Kurumi began scratching her arm. Was it possible that she was breaking out in hives again? She sure hoped not. She thought that she was over at least the initial fear of flying.
"I know we just met, but I am uncomfortable flying alone..." which is why she was still on the ground.
Watching her scratch her arm, Desmond's eyes opened a little wider though he tried to keep his face emotionless. Was she breaking out in hives from talking to him? He never thought of himself as that repulsive. He laughed in his ind. Well he was a Slytherin. Most were scared of him because of it.
Then she mentioned flying by herself. Maybe thats why she was breaking out. Not because of him. "Sure no prob. Lets see if you can keep up." he said winking and went over to a bench and unpacked his broom from his case. Most didnt keep thier brooms in cases but he didnt have alot of money and he wasnt taknig chances of his low class broom to have a broke broom to where he could never fly again.
Taking it out, he smiled at Kurumi and grabbed his broom sitting on it and taking off. About 200 ft in the air he stopped and waited onher.
