Veronica had been outraged when the team had been announced and a second year had got the open chaser spot over her or the transfer Alicia. Veronica could have accepted Alicia beating her to it, she had played on the Beauxbaton team and was pretty good, but Ivy? It was insulting and it made her question Raawhiti's decision making and leadership, the older boy was making a mockery of the team her father had once led to back to back championships. No wonder they hadn't won the Quidditch cup in years.
When she eventually got into the air she followed the other chasers around waiting for the quaffle to become available. She laughed when Teddy was hit by a bludger, he deserved it the pompous butthead, if he got knocked out of practice it would serve Raawhiti right for picking him over her a year prior. Once Alicia had missed her shot and Teddy threw the quaffle back into pay Veronica grabbed it and looped back around to have a go at Teddy's hoops. She missed, which just ticked her off even further.
