It was normal for Hope to constantly hurt herself during quidditch practice. The worst she ever experienced was a broken wrist and a broken collar bone. Of course not at the same time. The smallest was a few scratches and bruises. Today she was experiencing a new one, a broken rib, which was caused by a bludger sent her way, which she managed to dodge, but it seemed to have a mind of it's own.
"I already told you. I'm okay." Hope insisted as she was walked to the infirmary tent by Finley, one of the teams athletic trainers.
"It does not matter. You trip, I take you to the tent. You hit yourself with your own broom, i take you to the tent. You se-"
"You take me to the tent, got it." Hope finished.
"See. You're learning." The trainer smiled down at her.
Quigley, the teams beater kept apologizing as he followed right after But Hope knew it wasn't his fault. The bludger was charmed and had a mind of it's owned. Only no one expected it to be as ruthless as it was. Everyone seemed to be getting hurt. At least in some ways, because not everyone has had major injuries.
"Not you, too." Troy, a fellow chaser and captain of the team greeted the girl.
He was currently laying on his back while his right leg floated up in air while the kind nurse wrapped his broken ankle. Like Hope, he fell off his broom due to the bludger.
"I'm afraid so." She laughed, though she immediately groaned when the laughing caused her pain. "Bloody hell."
"At least it wasn't a broken nose by a bludger. Those are the worst." Troy laughed at her reaction. "Yeah, it happened a couple of years ago. I was playing against the Chudley Cannons. It was my first game too. It was quite embarrassing if you ask me."
"No." Hope shook her head. "Embarrassing is getting hurt during every single game. That's when you know something is wrong."
"Are you talking form experience?"
"No." She shook her head. " A team mate back at school."
As soon as Hope was fixed up, she was allowed to go home for the rest of the day. Coach Kingsley decided he wanted his team alive and well, so he decided charming a bludger was the worst idea and let them all rest.
Hope had been expecting a great first practice.
Upon arriving back to Hogwarts using the floo, Hope noticed it was still rather early and everyone would still be In class. She could spend her time doing her class work, but she really didn't want to bother with that. Not when it was practically a free day. As she left the the headmasters office, she debated on going to her common room, but she would most likely take a nap and she really does not want to miss lunch which was coming up. So she needed a better idea.
