Edinburgh

By Montley

The first time he flew, he was on one of those little toy brooms he had received for one of his birthdays. His mother had eagerly placed him on the broom and he went zooming away, ultimately crashing into their cat, which snarled at him. His mother ran to him and picked him up while his father had chuckled.

Now here he was, the first game of his career on Puddlemere United; strong, proud and brave as Keeper, the position he had always dreamed of. It hadn't felt so real until he was in Puddlemere's pitch in the sky, fans cheering in the stands. In his new navy and gold uniform, he felt alive and accomplished, and when he was in his red and gold uniform back in school, his dream was still just that, a dream.

And because of it, he almost started to cry in pure bliss.

He made it.
