Open Hard Choice

[Ilija Olaf]

Ilija hadn't spend too much time on the pitch. He'd had his lessons during his first year and that had been that. Sure he'd been sat in the stands before but he didn't count that. Quidditch did look like fun although he wasn't sure if it was always the fairest or safest game available for wizards. Perhaps something like Chess would have been more suitable to him. The third year stood on the grass, looking up to the large hoops, thinking about how his mum would have played the games at Durmstrang. The young Hufflepuff still didn't know why they couldn't have gone to Durmstrang too, since both his parents had, but he and his older sisters were sent to Hogwarts instead, far away from the home country. Part of him wanted to play for a team, get more involved with his classmates before the time at school ran out, although if he was going to get hurt out there, maybe it would be better if he didn't.
