Closed Take Notes

[Leah Thorne]

Leah felt like a different person this year. Last year she hadn't been talking to Chase, she hadn't gotten her a prefect badge, and while she had been arguing with her parents she hadn't fully disappointed them. But this year she had her best friend back, a prefect badge, and as far as her parents went, they had let her come back to school. She knew their threat was an empty one but even the thought of it was enough for her to try a bit harder in her lessons and use her badge for good. As well as help Chase in her free time. She sat on the ground on the shady end of the pitch as the Hufflepuff team conducted their try outs. If anyone noticed her lurking no one asked as she took notes. When they were done and back on the ground she got up and slowly made her way to Chase. She reached down and grabbed a quaffle that had been left on the grass. She gave it a toss and caught it. "So not the biggest turn out I've seen." she said not wasting time getting to the point.

 

[Chase Campbell]

Last year had been terrible in every aspect Chase could think of. His family situation had been messy, he had spend most of the year on his own, his grades weren't all that and his team had lost dramatically. This year, he hoped things would be better. Sure, his relationship with his mom was still a bit iffy but he was starting to actually like having his half-brother around every now and then. Mostly because the older boy had put the effort in getting to know him. That had to mean he wasn't just going to up and leave, right? So yeah. This year would be better. It probably already was since at the very least he had his best friend back. Annoying unwarranted advice and all. "That might be a bit of an understatement." Chase huffed as he looked down at the names on his clipboard. It wan't surprising to have a low turn out seeing as all of their starter spots were already filled but it was difficult not to think it probable that their loss last year had scared people off. Who'd want to volunteer for a losing team?
