Alex wiped away the tear from her cheek and she continued to stare out at the water, it was so peaceful and she wished that her home life could be this peaceful. "Of course I play Quidditch, I play Chaser and Seeker." she said and suddenly remembered that she needed to get out on the pitch later for practice.

"Cool!" Janie said enthusiastically. "Chaser AND Seeker huh? Which do you play most often? My mother's still a worry wart... won't let me on a broom just in case I fall and die, or something stupid like that."

"I play Chaser more often, probably because I'm like a lightning bolt on a broom." Alex said with a smile, she loved Quidditch so much but hadn't had the the chance to play since her 3rd year. "Well you should anyways, I think she's overreacting personally..the deaths from falling off a broom are very rare, you've got more of a chance getting hit by a bludger."

"Wicked!" Janie smiled. Well, she'd gottent eh otherr girl a little lighter at least. "Yeah. I always liked flying class in our first year. Maybe I should get a broom... huh?"

"That might be a good idea, maybe we could go flying sometime. If you're interested I could always give you some tips on Quidditch." Alex said, feeling a lot better now that Quidditch was the topic of discussion. She was a bit worried how rusty her skills were but that was nothing a little practice couldn't fix.

Janie nodded happily. "Yeah! That'd be fun! Hmm.... Maybe I could find an issue of Which Broomstick? and have a look at it. Get some ideas and order one. Yeah?"

Alex opened her bag and flipped through it, then pulled out the newest issue of Which Broomstick? and handed it to Janie. "Well, its a good thing I have a copy of it on me, I got my new broomstick just a couple days ago, its pretty amazing." she said then closed her bag and set the handle back down on the ground.

Janie raised an eyebrow as, suddenly, Alex was rustling through her bag. She chuckled as the other girl pulled out a copy of the magazine. "Wicked!" she said, beginning to go throught the pages. "What did you get?" Hmmm, those new Firebolts looked pretty cool... but she supposed she should start with something a little... uhh... not as specky!

"Oh I have the newest Firebolt, but that's only because I needed a broom that could handle the torture I've put all my brooms under." Alex said with a slight shrug as she pointed out the exact broom she got, it was crazy to think that she had gone through more than 15 brooms in less than 3 years.

"Ahhh, fair enough. So what would you say is a good starter broom?" JJanie asked, still flicking through the pages.

"Hmm either a Nimbus 2000 or a Comet 260, they both handle quite nicely and are easy to control." Alex said giving her opinion on which broomstick to get, she knew a lot about brooms especially beginner's brooms even though she was the one who chose to start with a Nimbus 2001.

Janie stopped at the Nimbus page and nodded her head, looking at the Nimbus 2000. She bit herr lip. It was pretty cheap. It was like old too. Like over ten years old, to be exact. "Hmmm, looks cool," she murmured.

"But if you want something that gives you a bit more of a challenge, I suggest the Nimbus 2001, its a bit harder to control but its got amazing handling, its pretty close to the Firebolt." Alex suggested, she wasn't sure if it was a good beginner's broom but it could take some serious damage.

Janie nodded. "Ahh, okay," she replied, reading the specs of the Nimbus 2001. "I'll have to write into them to put an order in," she noted, closing the magazine and handing it back to Alex. "Thanks."

Alex put the magazine back into her bag and dusted it off before resting her hands on the ground beside her. "You're welcome, honestly I never thought that I'd be discussing brooms with you." she said and then laughed a bit, brushing some of her blonde hair over her shoulder.
