Now on the story!
Chapter 7
Mean while in Los Angeles….
"Duck!" Nina Rider yelled.
Tally did as her best friend instructed, barley getting out of the way of the blugger, that had been aimed at her head. Tally, Nina, and Jesse Mandrel (a cousin of Sirius) were practicing Quidditch moves. Tally was a beater, Nina a chaser, and Jesse a seeker. They were playing with some of the neighborhood kids, ranging from the ages nine to eighteen.
Tally was starting to regret allowing Daniel Henderson to practice with them. He was known for playing rough and sometimes even dirty, so that his team would win. He had seemed to have targeted Tally as his prime enemy, and kept aiming all the bluggers that came his way at her head.
Seeing that his blugger had missed its target, Daniel decided to use his body to knock Tally off her broom. Tally's old clean sweep, was nothing compared to Daniel's Firebolt. He plowed right into her, and she felt her body leave the broom. She fell thirteen feet, and landed with a sickening thud.
"Tally!" Nina yelled, flying down to her best friend. "Don't move." She said, landing.
"Does anything hurt?" Jesse asked, landing beside Nina.
Tally gave a small laugh. "I just fell over ten feet Jesse. How do you think I feel?"
Jesse rolled his eyes, and muttered something that sounded like, "Always a comedian."
"Do you think anything is broken?" Nina asked.
"My arm really hurts." Tally said, sitting up with the help of Jesse. The other kids had crowded around. "But it's not broken." She said grimacing as she moved her fingers.
Jesse helped Tally up, and Nina helped Tally limp home, while Jesse gave Daniel a thorough pounding.
