The two second years headed outside the castle and to the Quidditch pitch, retrieving their brooms from the broom shed along the way. Ashley grinned to herself as she held her Nimbus 2000 in both hands, excited to take flight for the first time in months. Since last year, actually. Ashley’s soul-bonded had their own brooms so they could’ve gone for a ride together during the break but flying during winter just wasn’t ideal. She had also been very busy at the time with all of Tom’s plans and whatnot. Quidditch (or simply flying, in general) had been far from her mind but not anymore.
