Oliver has an obligation as Flying Instructor at Hogwarts School to attend and supervise all Quidditch games and practices. And he is excited when Rachel is given the opportunity to fly with the Gryffindor team.
He thinks it’ll be a great chance for her to finally break through and make some friends.
Obviously that had been wishful thinking.
She does nothing but complain the entire time she’s on her broom. The others aren’t passing her the quaffle enough. That shot should have gone through. Why isn’t everyone else up to her level of play? And the sad thing is, she isn’t spectacular by any means. But this is her element, and she needs to make a good impression here, but when one of the beaters sends a wayward bludger in her direction she’s soon flying through the air, a wobbly spiral of uncontrollable black glob of robes, and Oliver swoops in to save her from nose diving completely onto the pitch.
Just before he reaches her, he catches her eyes, and they’re not unfocused and confused, nor are they filled with panic and fear, but simply water. Which is gone without evidence a moment later as she pulls out of the steep dive and circles out behind the hoops.
She doesn’t say a word the rest of practice.
And she doesn’t make a sound for the rest of the evening.
