Well you were right. Wood does want me to play Quidditch with him. When he came over after dinner he said that there aren't any kids his age close by and everyone in his family finds it a little strange he's so mad about a game, and so he doesn't have anyone to practice with in the summer. I told him I'd only just learned to fly this year and he acted like I must have been slacking off not to have ridden on a broom before starting Hogwarts.
And then he started talking about making up a practice schedule and he said it's alright if I'm not very good, he just wants me to lob quaffles at him so he can practise keeping, and telling me that it's going to be a great summer and I'll have MUCH better broom skills by fall.
It made me a little dizzy. It's lucky for Longbottom he isn't a half-blood can you imagine what it would be like for him if he went to live with Wood? I rather like flying on a broom I'm just not very good at it.
