"Wow, that's pretty amazing," he said, shaking his head. His eyes widened slightly when she mentioned her grandmother. "Cat McCormack's your grandmother? That's cool. She's a pretty amazing player." He smiled ruefully. "I'm a bit of a Falcons fan and Pride took us to town a few times. I thought about playing quidditch for a while. I was a Beater at school. But..." He shrugged. "I was good but not quite good enough."

"Made an impression?" he said with a frown. "Not sure that would be me. I wasn't much of a student and I wasn't exactly living in the wizarding world when it brought me here. I'm just... a nobody."
