Dustin was taking any time he could get out on the pitch. Rainy, windy, freezing, it didn't matter! After apologizing to Jesse for tracking in mud, Dustin sort of squished his way into the Common Room and up to his dorm. Setting his broom down carefully, arms sore from being pelted by hail, Dustin heard a -thud!- somewhere behind him.

Turning around, he noticed Matt already lounging on his bed and sighed.

"Scared me, mate. Thought I'd accidentally shot my wand off again," Dustin stated as he pulled said wand from the pocket of his robes. There had been a time in fourth year when he'd been putting a few things away and muttered something his wand must have thought was a spell. Sent pillow feathers flying everywhere, and he'd apologized to Daisy at least a hundred times!

"What are you up to, anyway?" Dustin asked a moment later, eyeing the boy with curiosity. Dustin always seemed to be getting yelled at for eating in bed at home. At Hogwarts? Not so much.

Looking up to see where the voice was coming from Matt just laughed for it was only Dustin. Repeating what Dustin had just said Matt replied, "Again? How do you set off your wand accidentally in the first place?" Quirking an eyebrow, Matt looked down at his drawing board. Nothing major wrong now, except for a few scratches here and there with bits of the chalk missing in spots.

Hastily drawing back in what had wiped off onto his bed-spread, Matt turned it to Dustin. "These, my friend, are some of the Quidditch plays I was working on. Got bored so I thought I'd do something useful with my time. Doing homework would have been the smart thing to do, but Quidditch is much more exciting."

"If I knew the answer, it wouldn't have been an accident. I could have avoided it!" Dustin replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. Amusing, really, as he was not always the brightest crayon in the box! Not that he even knew what crayons were...

"Glad to know you find Quidditch a good use of your time," Dustin said with a chuckle, though he felt a bit uneasy.

Wasn't it the Captain's job to make plays? Isn't that what he'd been working on for weeks? Dustin was sadly starting to get the feeling that the other fifth years were trying to take advantage of him, and that wasn't a pleasant feeling at all.

"Er... I don't understand what you've marked here. Do you expect Kat or Sean to be doing this back here?" Dustin questioned, indicating a spot on the board with his hand.

Shrugging it off, Matt turned his drawing board back around and started adding some different plays to the board as they came to him.

"Quidditch is a good use of anyone's time, mate!" That was true; except for muggles. Hadn't even a clue what the game was. Sad, really.

Looking at a play that was numbered 16, Matt questioned it slightly himself. "Well -- that's what practice is for, ay?" Yeah, that sounded a bit right. The play was a bit confusing, but Matt just drew a line through it, as if saying it couldn't be used. A bit foolish of himself to think that they could get that done before the team had its first game.

"Oy, when's our first game then? Sometime this month, or are they being delayed this year?" Matt sure couldn't wait to get out on the pitches some more, but this weather was delaying him extremely. So instead of attempting to get his speed up and trying to practice finding the snitch faster, Matt stayed in on days like today when hail was being pelted at those outside, and made impossible bizarre plays.
