Shopping For A Friend (Open)

[Deleted]

The Quidditch Shop might not have been the best idea. It reminded her of Jens and how their relationship just didn't work out. They were still friends of course. They had been friends forever and that wouldn't change. But the romance just wasn't there, and Cav had to deal. Still, seeing all the Quidditch stuff didn't help.

She was there for a purpose though. her old friend from Hufflepuff House, Nina Devoll, was on the verge of graduating and she wanted to get her a really cool present. True the graduation was still months away, but why wait?

But what to get her? She was sure Nina had a good broom and would probably get a better one from her folks when she went on to try out for the pro teams. A jersey maybe? But which teams did Nina like again? A Quaffle? Nina was a Chaser after all. Cav really needed an expert opinion here.

Cavalyn had the troubled, frustrated look on her face over what to buy when Mary approached her, but then turned and beamed with a big smile. That was Cavalyn, always looking positive for friends and colleagues.

"Oh, hi Mary! How are you?" she said. "And yes, looking for something for a friend who plays Quidditch at Hogwarts..." She then frowned slightly. "But I'm not sure what. I wish I had asked her what teams she likes. I know her boyfriend plays for one of them. Do you know anything about Quidditch?"

Any help she could get would be welcomed. Cavalyn hated to just give up at the shop and end up getting Nina some run of the mill present that everyone gets everyone when they don't know exactly what to get someone. But unless Mary could help, that looked like where this whole situation was going. Cav picked up a Quaffle and looked it over as she awaited Mary's response.

Cav was glad to know that Mary had played Quidditch once and therefore knew a lot about it. She lucked out coming in around the time her colleague did.

"Oh that's great! Thank you, Mary!" she said, hugging Mary. Cav was a hugger. She then tried to remember the team Nina's boyfriend played for.

"Hmmm, was it the Arrowby Apples? No, no wait... the Appleby Arrows, that's right!" she said. "Oh and she's also Captain of the Hufflepuff Team at Hogwarts, forgot to tell you that." Cav blushed a tad at that. The woman could look a dark magic user in the eyes and not even blink, but around her friends and then general public she was a softie. "Definitely should have mentioned that. Go Puffs! Wooo!"

Cav was admittedly bias being a Puff Alumni.

"So anyway, that's the info I have, Mary, if you can be of any help," she said.
