Open What's the point?

[Veronica Walden-Cade]

Quidditch was over for another year and Veronica couldn’t believe how poor the Gryffindor Quidditch team had been all year and it had only furthered her disillusionment with the team. Veronica wasn’t arrogant enough to think that her being in the team would have massively changed the teams fortunes, but her and Alicia being overlooked for a second year only proved to her that Raawhiti wasn’t up to the job as captain and never had been. Thankfully, he wouldn’t be returning for another year but at that point, Veronica wasn’t sure if she would be either. Why should she? She was continuously being overlooked and belittled and she had no confidence that whoever took over would treat her any differently.

Veronica stood on the edge of the Quidditch pitch looking out over a place she only got to fully experience during practice. Would she ever fly on the pitch for real? Would she even bother trying again? She didn’t know. It wasn’t a decision she had to make just yet, she had more important things to dwell on in the meantime.

 

[Teddy Pirrip]

In the blink of an eye, the school year was coming to an end and Teddy was kind of proud he’d kept it all together with a full timetable, running the Brotherhood, winning the dueling tournament, and, of course, playing quidditch. After the Ravenclaw match, he’d been focused on homework that he hadn’t been down to the pitch since. It felt strange not being there and he missed the training sessions now the season was over. Their last match had gone well for Teddy, he'd saved every quaffle and avoided Audrey's bludgers for once. Third place overall was disappointing for the team, but it was the best they could have hoped for from the game so he was content with it.

Deciding to make time to visit the Quidditch pitch again, he grabbed his Turbo XXX broom and planned to fly it fast because he didn’t get to do that enough as keeper. The pitch was quiet when he arrived, well except for Veronica who was staring out to at it. Teddy thought Veronica was a bit weird because the vibe he got from her was that she hated him but he wasn't sure why. Teddy decided to brake the silence with, “What are you doing?” interrupting whatever grand thoughts she was having.
