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."

"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."
