“They certainly do,” Gus agreed, at the mention of clubs. “And all practice is good practice,” she added cheerfully, “and besides, depending on where you’re sorted, the house teams might all be full up for a while.” Or full with prigs who wouldn’t entertain the thought of girls on the team, or older students who wouldn’t give the young’uns a chance.
“Oh, I’m okay,” she said, waving off the words even as she beamed at them. “Ten years playing for the Holyhead Harpies has probably helped, but I’m bad at nearly everything else to make up for it,” she joked airily, still slightly surprised she had made it to the first string at all. “And I’m a little bit stubborn, so I wouldn’t have stopped until they let me!”
