"But Charms is what keeps going" she finished with a small nod.
Sarah watched her write down something on a parchment. She read it from the other side. Clockwise/Anticlockwise turns? Writing down a potion preparation? She waited for Gwen to finish. "Are you going to brew that potion or something?" she asked, pointing at the parchment.
"Chaser" she said promptly, when Gwen asked about the position. People fuss about Seekers but Chaser is the person that turns the game lively. "I'm not that expert or anything. I learnt flying when I came to Hogwarts" she clarified. Better not think I'm too good at flying. "But I can make it without any bruises, I guess" she grinned. "We could practice anytime if you like. With or without team sign up" Yes. I'd love to get into the air. I mean, on the broom. And go Whizzz!
Scribble. Scribble. Scribble.
There. She had almost finished writing her notes about the potion as she heard Sarah mention something about DADA. Mhm. She liked that too. She still had the same opinion about almost all the classes since her first year. The only exception was Herbology. She started liking it. Gwendolyn Greene started linking Herbology. What was next? Astronomy? Naaah. She will probably never be able to understand what that was all about.
Truth be told, Gwendolyn had seen her friend--- were they friends now? Anyway, Gwen liked to consider Sarah as a friend.---looking at the piece of parchment she was holding, but she simply tried to cover the name of the potion discretely. Otherwise the girl would think she’s insane to even think of trying to brew that. Most likely…
‘Yes’, she said simply and then took back the book in her hands and started reading about the history of the potion. Not that it was necessary… but mehh.
‘Chaser?’, the fourth year repeated as she looked back at Sarah.
‘That’s interesting.’ If she would have tried out, that would have been the position she would have liked to play. Then she just listened to the girl talk about learning how to fly only at Hogwarts.
Than it must be in the genes…, Gwendolyn told herself as she tried to avoid over thinking this and getting to remember all those things she had read about since last year.
‘Perhaps you are better than you think you are’, Gwendolyn heard herself saying. Because Sarah seemed the kind of person who was able to make it a bit better than just ‘without bruises’.
Then again, why was the Ravenclaw so nice? Eh, perhaps she had been sufficiently mean to certain people that day that it was enough? That sounded like a plausible explanation. And she was
NOT becoming a Hufflepuff.
Neverrr. ‘Sure. So how about we go practice sometime next week?’
