“Now, what’s that face for?” Gus scolded, screwing up her own expression and folding her arms overdramatically to express her opinion of that. Weasley wouldn’t have been promoted if she didn’t deserve to be on first string, and all her talent and training was already there – the rest would all come in time. And practice. But she wouldn’t stand for pessimism taking over. “That’s three whole practices away. I bet you’ll feel ready by the end of today,” she said insistently. “You’re already a great chaser.” They could do drills together all day, and by then their chasing would have fallen into place.

(Gus was determined to make this work, however Weasley felt.)
