Mo could only shrug, not entirely sure if the no was to never doing it before or wanting her to teach him. She was going to keep going regardless, so he could do what he wanted, she supposed. "Oh," she frowned, blushing a little. "I tried out for the house team and didn't make it." She was still a little miffed about it, but as a first year, it really wasn't that big of a deal. She would keep training and play club quidditch and try again next year if there was a spot. Hopefully it would happen.

"I've been playing a long time, and I know it's not normal for first years, I was just hoping." She rambled a little, unable to look her classmate in the eye. It had been foolish to get so worked up about it, she knew that, but she was still disappointed. Busying herself with inspecting some stones, she found two she thought would work well and moved closer to the water.

Turning the stone in her hand over, she stepped to the edge, the water nearly reaching her shoes. Mo angled her body and arm so the stone would go across the top of the water let it loose. It skipped a few times against the surface before disappearing into the dark water of the lake.
