Up the coast looking
for something different
for something different
All along you were there but I missed it
I don't know what it is
But I feel good about this
I don't know what it is
But I feel good about this
Quidditch was a passion. Not just some hobby, or something he played to help pass his school years by, but an honest to God passion. Ever since he had been small he had been flying, if not on his own then with his brothers or his father. Mum, of course, could never fly. A very little part of him had been terrified as a child to end up like his mother. A muggle. No magic, no flying, no...anything. Once he had started showing signs of magic that had changed. Before long he was on his own broom tearing after his older brothers without a care in the world. As his love for flying grew into a love for Quidditch he had expressed interest in playing and in seeing a match. Since then he'd been to....pff, it felt like hundreds.
Never in his life had he seen anyone fall out of the sky like Emanuel Delaney had last Saturday. Not in the umpteen million scrimmages, matches, and practices he sat through. He had heard about it happening to the seeker of the Magpies but he hadn't seen it. Somehow it seemed so much less...scary to hear about it than to see it. All morning he had been replaying it in his head. Over and over, that unmercifully slow plummet to the ground. Had it even been slow? Or was that simply how it had felt? Watching everyone rise, everyone screaming, all the wands drawn but no one able to do a damn thing... It had to have been fast.
All morning it had preoccupied his mind. He had even missed meeting Vet to go breakfast. He never missed that. The Gryffindor seeker, though, he would be alright... But what about the next person? It was so clear that whatever was plaguing the wizarding world had finally come to Hogwarts and he was afraid of who would be next. They had a game today....would it happen at their match? Instead of meeting Vet for breakfast he had went and found Zoe instead. Talking to her and getting sucked into their own little world was better than letting himself stew over what might happen. Though, it was obvious that the two quidditch players were both a bit nervous over what today's match would bring.
As the time drew closer for Dima to make his way to the pitch he thought it was probably best to get breakfast. It was fuel, after all, and he'd be needing it for the match whether he was hungry or not. All the worry swarming around in his gut had made it hard to feel like he wanted to eat at all, but once he got to the Great Hall that slowly began to change. The smell of breakfast seemed to perk up his stomach and he could only help it would perk him up too. "Morning," Dima greeted as he sat near his Captain. Lyla had been one of the ones who had gone down to the pitch when Delaney had fell; he could only imagine what was going through her mind when it came to their match today. Dima grabbed an orange and began peeling it, casting a wary look at the older girl. "Ready for the match today?"
