Checking out the quiddicth pitch

[Tim O'Maley]

Tim lead Charlene out to the pitch. It was covered with snow, being the middle of winter, but that didn't bother Tim, it's not like he would be staying on the ground for very long any way.

"Well here it is. Our Quiddicth pitch." He said showing her the picth as if he was a tour guide.

[Charlene Montreal]

"Wow, it's great!" Charlene spun around slowly to take the whole pitch in. "It's big!" And she meant it. At her old school the pitch was only half this size. She stopped spinning and stood next to Tim.

"Actually, come to think of it, this whole school is larger than my old one. Maybe I won't have to ignore Raleigh for the rest of my life afetr all."

[Tim O'Maley]

"You seem to keep talking about this 'other school' you went to. Where was it?" He asked curiously.

[Charlene Montreal]

"Australia. I grew up there with my brother and sisters." Charlene said longingly.

[Tim O'Maley]

"Australia," He said agast, "That's along way to go just for a school. Why did you leave?? Do you miss it? What was it like there??" Tim was very interested in other countries and people who came from them. He could tell that charlene wasn't from Europe because of her accent.

[Charlene Montreal]

"Whoa! Down boy!" Charlene laughed happily.

"We moved here because this was the only other school that would take my sister, she was expelled." It was all she could do not to gasp. She hadn't meant to say that, it just popped out, she felt so relaxed with him. She went on quickly.

"I do miss it. I love it there. The school is great, all my family is there, so many memories. I remember one time, at Christmas, Sarah, my three year old cousin was allowed to ride her fathers or my uncles broomstick. She was looping around like crazy for ages before she finally landed on the roof. My uncle forgot to use this charm so he could control the broomstick you see, or rather Jared messed it up. Hes 12 and he is a huge trouble maker. Anyway, we had my older brother and all my uncles and my dad flying around on their broomsticks trying to get a little girl down, it took them half the day. It was so funny." There was silence for a minute. She sat down on the bleachers.

"Then My sister caught the potions lab on fire from a big blast and was expelled, this was the only school to accept her. So we moved here"

[Tim O'Maley]

Expelled? Wow that was a revalation. She must set it on fire really good.

"Expelled, really?" Tim just couldn't get over it. A first year getting expelled, they must have had a really harsh headmaster or Head of House. If you blew up the potions lab here, sure you would get a mouthful form Volgun but there was no way they would expell you.
