One of Roger Davies' few pet peeves was when he was lectured about his career choice.
"You wouldn't give me such shit if I was a quidditch player!" Roger shot back. "They get into loads of accidents all the time!"
"But the risk of fatality in drifting versus quidditch is also loads higher," Bredina mimicked back sharply, blue eyes blazing. Roger's lips curled slightly. Dina too, eh?
"I'm good at what I do, and I've only had three accidents so far."
"Only?!" Bredina cut in before Spencer could reply to Roger. "Roger, if a bloody bludger hits you in the head, it hurts like murder but you get over it. Or if you manage to fall off your broom, you get a broken bone. I'm not concerned about your ripped tendons, I'm fucking concerned about the fact that you're traveling at the light of speed and if you crash into anyone or anything, your brains will splatter inside your skull!"
"Both of you, sod off okay?" Though his 'cursing' was light, the fact that Roger was cursing at all was enough to put Bredina more on her guard as well. "I've never gotten on either of your backs when you go into unhealthy relationships! Why? Because you thought you loved the person you were with. So I love this, this is what makes me happy. Isn't my happiness the most important thing? Would you rather I die in some cubicle selling parchment for the rest of my life?"
"What we may have put ourselves through in our past relationships left wounds that were always fixable, whereas any wounds you get from drifting will probably disable you for life!" Dina screamed, lips swollen and red from biting down on them, blue eyes storming.
"Fixable? Are you kidding me? You're both so messed up from all the bullshit you've gone through that you don't know how to function like human beings anymore! I'm NOT going to quit drifting, and I'm entering this match whether you like it or not! I'll get support from people who actually believe in what I do."
Dina buried her face in her hands with a loud strangled noise of exasperation.
"Roger Davies, you are the most IDIOTIC Ravenclaw I have EVER met!"
