Closed A Nice Way to Unwind

[Paige Thompson]

Even though Paige wasn't part of the Slytherin Quidditch team anymore, she hadn't been for some years, she still liked to come to the pitch often to practice her skills as a Beater. Practising her skills was a good way to make sure that she wasn't going rusty in case she wanted to go pro after Hogwarts. It was also a very good way to unwind, especially after days like today. She didn't really mind having to spend most of her day in the library to study for the subjects she was taking. What she did mind, however, was how every teacher found it necessary to repeat the importance of the exams the seventh-years would be taking at the end of the year. So, to unwind from a day of studying, Paige had bewitched one of her cousin Elijah's footballs so that it would return to her with every hit of her bat. She was hitting the ball back and forth for a while now, finding herself slipping in some sort of trance in which she continued to hit the ball without really thinking about it anymore. Instead, her thoughts had wandered off to the idea of life without Hogwarts and what she wanted to do after graduation.
