Sam was tired looking at it, the dapper handwriting, the persuasive words, the stupid little emblem at the bottom of the page. It caused him to fold up the important letter for what would be about the hundredth time within the past two days. He shoved it into the back pocket of his jeans, out of his view, but just because he couldn't see the wrinkled page anymore he could still feel it through the denim of his jeans, like one of those dark wintry rain clouds that swarmed outside, it continued to oppress his thoughts. There it was, his dream practically handed to him and all Sam could think about was Indianna. It wasn't her fault and he knew that - although if she wasn't so perfect in every possible way, it could have made things a little easier for him - but she was the reason why he was reconsidering the generous contract offered to him by the Moutohora Macaws. It'd make more sense right? They were based in New Zealand, he had interned with them last summer, so he knew a lot of the team members and they were a perfectly respectable quidditch team. The only downside that Sam could see to them, was that they weren't the Wimbourne Wasps.
The Wimbourne Wasps were an internationally famous Quidditch team, they also happened to be a team that Sam had once dreamed about playing for and it was only just two days ago that this dream had become a reality for the eighteen year old. That same reality was now tucked away in his back pocket. He knew if he accepted the Wasp's contract as their team's beater it would mean he would at some point have to move to England. Sure, he could apparate back and forth from New Zealand but it just seemed to make sense to move there permanently and at the end of the day it was an inevitable outcome that he was sure he would have to face. But moving to England meant leaving behind Indianna and that was where the problem ignited. He tried weighing his options as sensibly as he possibly could and came to the conclusion that if he was to accept the Wasp's offer he would only accept under the condition that he could put his all into it and staying in New Zealand was preventing him from doing so. But then again, leaving New Zealand meant leaving behind the girl he loved and leaving behind the most important person in his life.
He stared blankly out of the kitchen window, his mind still trying to cipher through his overbearing worries, the dull day was certainly not helping Sam's mood. Even the thought of Indianna's visit wasn't helping his mood in fact, it worsened it. This wasn't just a visit where they could sit around a watch a movie, Sam was going to break it to Indi about his situation in the hope she might find a miracle solution. She was a Ravenclaw at heart afterall, they were generally wise when it came to solving problems. With Indianna now back on his mind, Sam began to put away the pile of groceries that dominated the marble worktop. Colin was gone for the weekend on some work thing - Sam had far too much on his mind to recall where it was his uncle had gone off to - and it left Sam and Ava with full responsibility of the house. Well, this full responsibility pretty much fell onto Sam's lap, Ava was about as responsible as a toddler. So with the necessary groceries bought, he began to put each item away although absent mindly putting the milk into a cabinet along with some strawberry yogurts. He had asked Ava and she thought he would be crazy, or in her words, 'a complete jerk' to refuse the Wasp's offer. But what did she know? Sure, herself and Indianna got on quite well but she didn't know Indianna like he did. How foolish he would be to let a girl like her go like that. But the Wimbourne Wasp's were calling his name now, it was now his time to shine, how foolish he would be to let an offer like that go. And so the vicious cycle of his thoughts began again, and as Sam continued to make a mess of putting away the groceries, his thoughts ceased to come to a halt.
