"A broken nose is easily enough sorted. Though, perhaps I would prefer Willow shouting to hitting bludgers at me." Nia knew that their captain could hit bludgers very hard. Great in a match. Not so good if that were headed towards her. "Yeah, okay...I'd rather the yelling in reality. Or neither. That'd be better." She laughed, knowing full well that Willow wouldn't stop shouting at the team until they had retained the cup.
Nia nodded. "I guess so. Though my guess would be its due to Theo's problems with wandwork more than the flood." She rolled her eyes. How could they be so opposite? As Elizabeth replied about there species being similar, Nia nodded with a smile. "I'd like to be able to soar up in the sky like the merlin or eagle," she said, "and have their vision to be able to properly enjoy the view. What strikes you as a good characteristic?" "Oh, the broken nose is easily sorted," Elizabeth agreed with Nia, still remembering tryouts. "It's the possible concussion, brain damage, that part that's more problematic." To an extent, that was why she preferred playing beater over chaser in the first place. At least as beater she had the bat to defend herself, even though her size made it easy to dodge as well. She grinned, though, as the younger girl admitted she'd prefer the yelling, if she had to choose. "Most people would. Sticks and stones, you know." They had the championship match coming, which actually, in addition to her nervousness about if they were going to make it four in a row for winning the cup, gave her pangs of sadness since she knew it was the last Quidditch match she was going to play at Hogwarts. And possibly the last she'd play ever, since unlike Robert, she wasn't going professional.
She laughed slightly at Nia's theory for why her brother hadn't made an appearance in class, before speaking. "Some people just don't quite grasp the skills needed for wandwork," she said almost flippantly, shrugging a shoulder. It wasn't that she thought it was funny that some people, apparently including Theo and Robert, weren't very skilled with a wand. But she wasn't that unlucky. As the discussion turned toward characteristics, she smiled. "Indirectly, we can almost soar like a bird when we're on our broomsticks. Not as freely, but at least we can fly. The vision of an eagle, or a merlin, or any of those type of birds, would be interesting, though. The most fascinating thing, to me, though, is just their . . . majesty, I guess. People seem to be in awe of them, and to have that kind of respect?"
