Any other child would have understood they had done something wrong at dropping the bat. Any other child who hadn't been raised to believe she was perfect at everything she did and with no one to tell her otherwise, that is. Mimosa Harrington, upon dropping the bat, of course knew that it was the bat's fault. It was too heavy. Ozzy had probably given her an advanced bat meant for really old players. It wasn't her fault at all.
Still, she wanted to do well. If the Beater had given her a heavier than usual bat, it was only because he expected her to be able to handle it. So when he called her down, the young Slytherin nodded, navigating her broom into a slow dive downwards. She could do this, she just needed to practice on stable ground first.
"Okay, I'm here," she announced, her grin back in place as she touched down softly on the plump grass. "What now? Are we getting a different bat?"
