Minerva walked into the tent. She was meeting Ethan there and she felt a bit awkward. She was super excited about the Quidditch cup, she remembered last term getting the surprise of playing in the last game. She had missed playing this term and hoped things would turn around next term. Looking around she wasn't even sure if she should be there, she knew the only reason Ethan would be going is because of her and she knew he was sore from getting hurt, so maybe she would just come in say congrats, talk a bit, and then they could head out.
As she looked around she spotted the team and quickly went over with a smile on her face.
"Alyssa, Ella, Ness!!! Congrats, you played amazing!! This is just awesome." Minerva hugged each of them and then came to someone she didn't think she knew.. No wait she had met him shortly at the beginning of term, then it hit her, this was the beater that sent the bludger at Ethan.. She knew it was just a game, she played beater when she was on the team, she got that, but it was still Ethan that was hit. She eyed him and sized him up.
"So.. I don't think I know you all that well... " which meant he didn't know her that well either.
"I'm Minerva Wheatborn, congrats on the win, you were the other beater with Alyssa, right?" She wasn't really asking to know, she knew.. She knew a beater's job was to hit bludgers at the other team, but she was not happy with this one.. He was the one that hit Ethan, for that she still eyed him not thrilled. She fought the urge to tell him if he ever hit her boyfriend again that he would find out what her beaters skills were like..
Turning from him she went back to her friends that she did know,
"Ness, brilliant year again, you are an amazing captain.." Then to her main concern she turned to Ella,
"Ella, how are you feeling? You took that bludger pretty hard. That is about the only thing I didn't miss this year.." Yes, she really didn't miss the bruises and broken bones from being hit by the bludger, but she had missed playing or even announcing. She had to remember to get back into that next term.
