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.

Well, this'll be a hoot.

[nobodyscrumpet]

Just make sure you tie up your ears if you do try out and get a spot on the team, Bunny.

Oh do try out. I'm going for keeper! And I would very much enjoy beating you.

[nomorals]

Well now, I didn't actually think you'd take me seriously.

[rule_britannia]

Don't you already do that enough?

I'm still debating it. You know I'm not athletic. I'm not even sure why I'm considering this.

[rule_britannia]

Not take you seriously, dear Marceline? Perish the thought.

[nomorals]

Some say I do have a strange influence over others~

[rule_britannia]

In all honesty I was already thinking on it.
I'm just not terribly sure that it's a good idea.

[nomorals]

What if I helped you out?

[rule_britannia]

How would you propose to do that?
I've never been athletically inclined. It's not in my nature. Why on Earth I'd consider taking up a sport is beyond me.

[nomorals]

Well if it's flying or athleticism that's the trouble, you could always try out for keeper? You don't have to fly around the field, just catch the Quaffle when it comes for the goals.

We could practice once school gets back.

[nobodyscrumpet]

No.

That's the lovely thing about quidditch. You just need to know how to stay on a broom. And know how to dodge things.

Surely use have learnt to dodge by now, Arthur.

[di_intraining]

Nothing wrong with a good game of Quidditch. Is there a particular spot you're aiming for?

[rule_britannia]

I should have known you'd say that.

Keeper seems to be the going recommendation.

[di_intraining]

Keeper huh? Any particular reason why?

[rule_britannia]

Ask them. I have no bloody idea.

[di_intraining]

Well, I think you'd make a bloody good Seeker, but that spot's already been taken so...

...maybe Chaser? You're sharp enough to avoid the Bludgers and outwit the other team. Seems a waste to keep you at the goal posts.

[nunganunga_k_o]

Are you actually any good? We don't want any wets on the team.

[rule_britannia]

I'm fast and damn agile on a broom if I do say so myself, and I have a good arm and good aim.

Would that suffice?

[rule_britannia]

... Huh.

Maybe.

Also, keep flattering me. I like that.

[rule_britannia]

... Very funny, Victoria.

[rule_britannia]

Flying isn't the problem. I'm actually rather sharp on a broomstick.

[formyownhand]

I think you should try it, Kirkland.

[rule_britannia]

You do?

[formyownhand]

Of course. I'm trying out for Gyrffindor's team.

[rule_britannia]

Which position?
