She looked over to where he had been with that other girl. "Maybe.... maybe he just needs more people to knock some sense into him... I mean, he can't just not play. If someone he trusted told him what we've all been telling him, maybe then he'd listen... Or... He just can't not play because he doesn't want to.. or says he doesn't... he does! He's got to! You can tell when he flies, he loves it... Why is he doing this to himself!" Ellie laughed. She had no idea what she was saying. She was just so frustrated. He was good! Good quidditch players play quidditch! It's as simple as that! "He's only making it worse for himself by doubting himself!" she finished her thought out loud.
Nia looked relieved that she'd now convinced Ellie of her true intentions. She really didn't want to appear the scary Captain type. She'd ditched the attitude of her younger years in maturing into someone she hoped that poeple both looked up to but could also considered approachable with any problems. As Captain this year, that was even more important.
"More?" Nia raised her eyebrows. "Well, I think all of the teams and Captains so far have tried - so that's three years worth." She took a knowing deep breath. "I know, you can see the passion. Especially when he's upside down." She smiled. "He said he loves flying upside down - I reckon we could make a good tactic of it...you know, fool the other teams." She straightened her robes. "I don't even think its down to nerves. Just self doubt." She shrugged. "But if we all try to show our support, it can only be a good thing."
She shook her hair back. "So how did you find tryouts? As you expected?"
