‘Hmm? The Problem with the first years?’, Gwen asked, but then, not willing to sound stupid she added: ‘Um… yeah-yeah, sure…’ while nodding. Of course, she had absolutely no idea what that could be. Maybe it’s the thing with taking points?
And…if I’m allowed to practice? Come ooon, Vindictus would never take points from his own house… Or…would he? But- wait? Are you just trying to find excuses not to go flying with me or are you serious?
‘Oh, well… then I’ll just drop it.’ Maybe some other time…?
Ah, she didn't understand what Helena really hoped her to. "
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be... rude," the girl said, feeling her cheeks turn pink. "
I just meant that the first years are not allowed to have their own broomsticks." She knew that, right? "
So I'm not sure if you're also allowed to practice on your own." THAT is was she meant the first time.
"
The best thing to do is go and ask professor Vindictus," Helena finally finished with a smile. She surely won't go and ask him if she could borrow a broomstick and practice. How would she look like if she asked the man to practice, while she wasn't taking that class anymore? Nope, surely not facing him.
