Lucy and Open
Lucy had loved the cocktail-mixing and games event that Marietta had organised, so she'd agreed to turn up to the Broom Rodeo without thinking too hard about it. It was only when she got there and saw the brooms lined up - and discovered that she was supposed to go first, in the very first event - that it came crashing back to her that in school she'd barely been able to successfuly get her broom into the air. True, she'd had better luck with the horses on Victis Honor day, and she certainly wasn't afraid of flying or heights, but that had been mostly her holding on and letting the horse do the work. This... this was different.
Trying not to let it phase her, Lucy tied her hair back and looked around, hoping for a familiar face to distract her until it was time to begin.
