Even when the offer had been in general, the Gryffindor felt like they had to ask something. "Uhm. What made you realise that you wanted to pursue sports professionally?" They asked, not really directing it at anyone, so the hosts were all free to chime in and Mikey would gladly listen. That felt like a proper question, and one that might help out their school mates decide on their career paths eventually.
Lily smiled over at the slightly younger girl (Vera) saying "It's quite all right. If you change your mind there are other quidditch stuffs you can get free too like a fiqurine or a poster." Lily wasn't going to pressure anyone into taking a cannons jersey or other merch for that matter that didn't want one or it. There were quite a few quidditch teams and players after all that students could be fans of.

Turning her attention over to (Mikey) next, Lily tagged on to what Lio had just said because it was true for her too mostly. "For me besides the adrenaline, thrill, excitement and fun that Lio mentioned it was also being apart of a team and playing with good friends, and being included in the team spirit that made me want to continue on to playing professionally." Like many humans she was happiest when she was surrounded by people she liked and did something she loved. Lily was probably not going to play quidditch forever but it was good for the right now.


SPOILER!!: After lunch

The Athletics Booth was a particular mess, with gobstones scattered all over the floor, staining the jerseys that were lying on the floor under them. Anyone who had brought brooms or ther sports equipment with them was out of luck, because very little was untouched by whatever had happened here.

After enoying a delicious lunch Lily arrived back at the athletics booth to find it in utter shambles. Someone or something had gone through the booth an caused a very bad mess. Shaking her head in both shock, anger and bewilderment Lily turned her blue eyes to the younger girl (Nadia) that was inspecting the damage just like she was doing and murmured back "I don't know. We have to report this mess to the headmaster, and start cleaning the booth up." It was a shame, so many nice freebies had gone to waste. "I hope your peers still want to come, and talk about athletics careers, and aren't scared away by the state of the booth."
