Whacking the bludger hard with the bat, Freddy laughed as it soared directly past Liv, hitting one of the goal posts and ricocheting back towards her. With another almighty thunk, the steel ball spiraled downwards, Freddy flying out of the way as it came back up. Not entirely surprising, Liv had really meant four am, and as the morning sun rose, Fred lifted her hands up in surrender, mock bowing to her former captain. "Alright, alright, I'm done. I give up. You are better than me, Liv. Can we please go down now?"

It wasn't like her to admit defeat, or to willingly say that Olivia was a better player than she was, but above all else, Freddy had missed her friend, and she knew Liv had missed her, too. Dismounting before Liv began her descent from the hoops, Freddy loosened the gloves and dropped her bat on the ground, managing to wrestle the one practice bludger back into the case.

Retying the long red hair that had escaped her ponytail, Freddy waited patiently for Olivia to meet her, twisting her hands together nervously. So far they had managed to avoid the topic of the inevitable; that in Olivia's time, Freddy was long-since dead, but they both knew that couldn't last forever.

As soon as the older woman had touched down, Freddy approached her, hugging her tightly. For the past day, she had felt almost like a ghost; like everyone around her was afraid to say the wrong thing in case it upset her. In a way that was even more upsetting. "I'm so sorry, Livvycakes," she murmured, squeezing her again. "I really, really am."

Olivia had given a choice which wasn't very much of a choice at all. Despite having stayed up late the night prior with her number one fan, Olivia never went back on her word. 4 AM. The woman meant it, whistle in all. Olivia had managed to find her way into Fredster's room, blowing her whistle full blast. "Up! Get up!"

She gave the poor young woman enough to change before rushing her out on to the pitch, making them both sprint with their brooms. Playing Quidditch this early in the morning was an absolute favourite of hers. She didn't feel tired then, but she would feel it later. As her beater gave up, Olivia grinned and flew down, locking up the Quidditch kit. "Aye. I am better, always have been." She laughed a bit and gave a shrug of the shoulders. "Only jokin' mate. You still pack the best hit I've ever seen." Because it came from Freddy. It came from her Freddy and no matter how far she went in her professional career, there would be no better beaters than Freddy and Georgie.

Olivia was caught off guard while taking off her gloves. Looking down at her mate, as Olivia was quite taller than most, she smiled a bit and dropped her gloves. She returned Freddy's hug with one of her own, possibly even more tighter in the embrace. "What the fuck are you apologizing for?" She laughed a bit, holding back the tears. "You didn't do anything wrong, you bint. I'm sorry. Sorry I wasn't fast enough, that I didn't fight hard enough. I'm sorry I missed your birthday. I'm sorry I thought I was going to grow old with you both and knock bludgers at the new kids of the block."

Olivia fought the tears as all the memories they had shared on the pitch and off came flooding back. "What you should be sorry for, is missing my fucking career." with a bit of a laugh, she gave her Fredster's a tight squeeze and a kiss to her cheek. "Be sorry for nothin'. Don't apologize for anything. Got it?"

"I'd better still, otherwise it'd reflect badly on your captaincy," Freddy retorted cheekily. Hugging Olivia wasn't exactly common; the girl was so focused on quidditch all the time it was hard to get affection in edgewise. That's why Freddy was slightly surprised to be squeezed even tighter to her taller friend.

"For leaving you a beater down," she said with a small smile. Her tone was sad, and she knew that Liv could pick up on it. "You did---or will. You're a fighter, Liv, you'll do all you can. I know that more than I know anything."

It was hard, much more so than she'd expected, hearing things that she'd never be able to do again. "I am, too. And I'm even sorrier that I won't get to see that fabulous career of yours."

She laughed as Liv kissed her cheek. "I'm trying not to, I swear. It's just...a lot to get my head round, Livvycakes."
