[color=ec008c][i]"Dunno"[/i][/color] Lavender shrugged. [i][color=ec008c]"I was never a star athlete, but that was mostly because I always tripped over my own feet. Shouldn't have that problem on a broomstick, right? Sounds like I'd be missing out on a lot of fun if I didn't at least try."[/color][/i] Lavender was still determined to make the most out of her time here, and enjoy everything she could. 

[i][color=f7941d]"Worked for me!"[/color][/i] the boy sitting next to Lavender blurted out. Several people laughed, and he soon joined in. [color=f7941d][i]"I'm Ashton, by the way. I guess with both feet on the ground I'm the clumsiest Griffindor since Longbottom, but I don't mind a little healthy competition. It's not a title I have my heart set on."[/i][/color] Lavender giggled, as the rest of the group burst out laughing again. [i][color=39b54a]"It's a wonder nobody has been knocked off their brooms yet, right Ash?"[/color][/i] They were a good-natured bunch, and Lavender couldn't help but feel included and welcome. She looked back at Jay and said [i][color=ec008c]"What about you, Jay? You up for a little healthy competition as well?"[/color][/i] She finished her plate and grabbed another of those delicious rolls.
