This has to be the worst idea I've ever had, but I'm actually considering trying out for the team.

I must be ill. Maybe if I ignore the inclination for long enough it'll go away.

Oh good lord, not you too.
It's all good fun until someone breaks something.

[its_cor_aline]

Who cares if you break something? Sure it hurts but the school's medical staff is awesome. They can heal you in a jiffy! I've broken my arm and had a few fractures and I'm still good as new!

[thesmallesttrickster]

Oh? Do you participate in athletic competitions?

[plushaeusrumpified]

Nah, don't worry about that either. You're still young, experiment all the hell you want. Even if it doesn't stick, screw everyone. If they're that sensitive and get buttmad, they can just rub on their ointment and get over it.

What I'm just trying to say is do whatever you want, don't worry so damn much.

But still give it a fair shot too, because it's Quidditch. Once again, everyone should play it.

[just1c3w1tch]

I'm with her on this. People get hurt during quidditch constantly! Never heard of any of it being permanent.

It's potions you've got to watch out for, you know.

[nomorals]

Oh nothing. I'm afraid I'm someone who has to see to believe.

[rule_britannia]

I'd be more than happy to demonstrate.

[rule_britannia]

Because I have ideas like this all the time.
Then I never follow through.
But Professor Strider seems to think I ought to just go for it.

[rule_britannia]

Hah. Don't I know it.

[rule_britannia]

Well...

[Dotdotdot as he taps his quill]

I suppose, when you put it like that... Okay. I'll try out.

[rule_britannia]

That'd be a two-part answer.
Yes, I do compete - or I have, in the past. But not anything that would be relevant to quidditch.

[rule_britannia]

I kind of care a little, Coraline.
But I suppose you have a point.

[nomorals]

I'd be up for that when school gets back.

That seems to be the general consensus.
I suppose it can't hurt.

[thesmallesttrickster]

Really? What kind of sports?

[rule_britannia]

Archery.

[thesmallesttrickster]

There are many I have spoke to thus far that practice archery.

[rule_britannia]

It's a good sport to take up.

[di_intraining]

Woah there Arthur, these compliments don't come cheap, y'know?

Seriously, I do think you'd make a good case for Chaser. I could help train you to avoid Bludgers once we get back to Hogwarts, if you like.

[thesmallesttrickster]

It sounds very interesting indeed.

[rule_britannia]

I'd certainly recommend it if you're looking for a hobby.

[rule_britannia]

I think I'm going to give it a shot.
It can't do any harm, right?

[rule_britannia]

Yes I'm sure you're just laughing yourself silly.
I'm not getting into a discussion about this with you.
