Open Growing Appetite

[Derek Tahana]

Practicing for quidditch was not a difficult to do, quidditch itself was not an overly intense sport. It was intense when played with others but practicing alone was not all that tricky or difficult, but he was still always exhausted by the time he was finished. He had been practicing for a few hours knowing that with the upcoming games it was probably better to practice a whole rather than only a little. He had however practiced over lunch and Derek always worked up an appetite after quidditch, but when he’d stepped into the great hall to spot zero food and just people studying, he’d ventured down to the kitchens instead. There he took a seat upon one of the benches and stretched a little, giving the house elves instructions on what he wanted to eat. The boy wouldn’t have to do anything else, could just relax and let them do it. He stretched his arms and legs lightly, running his finger down the slightly aching thighs, he’d maybe over done it a little, but Derek knew it was important for him to be constantly trying to improve. Perhaps though, he reasoned to himself, next time he shouldn’t jump straight into an extended long session and instead take it nice and slow.​
