AJ felt a bit strange when Oliver mentioned he liked to play different positions. AJ was so focused on being a beater, he had sort of assumed everyone had their one Quidditch position they worked on. He smiled and nodded as he said he mainly played chaser. He laughed when Oliver said he could...

AJ nodded and grimaced a little. "Neither do I, yet here I am," he joked. "But I guess I'm used to it. At least my roommates don't launch them at my head when I annoy them, unlike my brother." As Eris told a story about her roommate bringing a spitting plant in, AJ laughed softly. "Okay, I might...

AJ grimaced as he listened to Eris talk abuot her living situation. He felt bad for her. As far as he was concerned, the Slytherins really got the short end of the stick when it came to their common room and dorms. It was a good thing he was in Gryffindor, though he knew that wouldn't help Eris...

AJ was glad Oliver liked Quidditch too. He felt like he had known this vaguely, but he hadn't gotten to know his roommates as much as he'd wanted last year. "That's cool." He said. "Though I also get why it'd be annoying." He smiled a bit. "Yeah, I play beater. What position do you play?" He sat...

AJ nodded at Eris' advice. He knew it was good advice, even if he still felt like he had failed his father by not getting the position he'd had. It was nice to hear a reassuring voice. "Thanks, I may take you up on that," he said as she offered to help him train. He smiled a bit as she spoke...

AJ's eyes widened a little as Eris spoke about doing archery because her dad loved it. He had never talked to anyone before that got it. He nodded slightly as she kept talking, strangely wording his own feelings out loud. He had felt like his dad would be disapointed in him, and he hadn't even...

AJ hadn't realized how grumpy the kid looked until he looked at him. He could tell he had embarrassed him, and opened his mouth to reassure him and say he'd made the same mistake a million times in his first year. But then the boy insisted he had been going somewhere else. AJ looked at the...

AJ smiled as Oliver talked about his break and his sisters. He could relate to that. "I know, right? Siblings are weird like that. I spend half the school year missing them, and then they annoy the crap out of me after five seconds of being on break." He shook his head a little. He smiled at...

AJ listened to what Eris said, but shook his head slightly when she said it wasn't failure. She was being nice, but it was. There was no denying that trying out and not getting it was failing. "Maybe. Probably," he muttered as she said they would be proud he tried out. "It just sucks, I tried...

AJ wasn't sure what he had expected from Eris, but it wasn't such an insightful question. He shifted in his seat, looking away from her. He wasn't sure if he wanted to talk about his feelings so openly. "I don't like admitting failure to them," he eventually said softly. "It feels like— I don't...

AJ tried to listen to what Eris said about her break, but he couldn't really focus. He finally tore his gaze away from the annoying piece of parchment to look at her. "That's good," he said after taking a moment to process what she had said. At her question, he let out a deep sigh. "Just...
