(The school broomstick was a bit wobbly; hopefully if he made the team, Aunt Odira would allow him to purchase a broomstick of his own. He had the money—scads of it, really—but quite rightly would not have control of his own purse strings until adulthood.)

Diligently, the lad set about trying to block as many of the quaffles as he could, and trying not to view any misses as a Personal Failing.
