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?"
Ellie nodded vigorously.
"That would be awesome! I didn't know he could fly upside down... That's soo...." she searched for the right word...
"Wicked?" yeah, that was a good enough word...
"But he has to play! If he makes the team that is..." which Ellie had no doubt he would, but she couldn't say that in front of the captain...
"He has my support at least... and yours, I can see... And he should have anyone's whose ever seen him fly.." And once again, she was rambling on.
"I liked them." she said, a bit confused at the change of subject. Or not really, since it was still quidditch related,
"Chaser was a bit harder than I thought... But I'd love to play beater... Beater was fun." She wished she just knew if she made it! It was so weird talking 'what ifs' with the person who decided if she'd make it or not.
