She perked up, however, when Apollo brought up Quidditch. Her favorite sport! Unconsciously standing straighter, she nodded vigorously. "I love Quidditch!" she said. "And flying! Every week, I--" she broke off mid-sentence, glancing back at the guard(s) and lowering her voice to a less enthusiastic volume and allowing her shoulders to slump again. "Before the holidays, I flew every Tuesday. Professor Aguilar was helping me get better, since--" another glance "--since I didn't get to learn as early as you probably did."

"I'm going to play U14 Quidditch this summer," she announced proudly. Ooh. Maybe Apollo would be on her team. "Do you play?"

Oh good. Judging from her reaction Apollo sensed he picked a good topic, but also he kind of hated the assumption that just because he was pureblood it meant that he got to learn flying early. He shook his head at her. "My whole family is pretty much into quidditch, several pro players in the family, though my parents didn't play. Not really. But it also means that I actually didn't get to learn to fly until I got to Hogwarts. I mean, don't get me wrong, I know all about the sport and HOW to play, but actually getting to play..." he sighed. Downsides to having magical family is that they KNEW and UNDERSTOOD the risks. Of course he also had healers in the family.

"Wow!! That's exciting!! I ... think mum said something about quidditch camp first? To sort of get things going.... Get me more comfortable. " He glanced around. "Speaking of going... its ... we should probably get going back to the castle, don't you think?"
