alt_seamusHey, I just wanted to pre-emptively congratulate Ravenclaw on their victory over Slytherin in the next match.
Three players benched! AND pretty much all their reserves benched, too. Putting Perks on the team as a Chaser is pretty much the definition of 'complete desperation,' I think... and Croaker and Derwent have never exactly been serious players.
Your side's down a few players, too, but at least you had some reserves to fall back on.

I wonder if Parkinson paid him to do it? Or maybe she'll start copying out all his essays for him--did you know she's working for Dolohov now? I bet anything Siz set that up now that she can't play favourites with her in the YPL.
Ours is nothing like their problem. Even if Samuels is done for the foreseeable future, that's only one Beater to replace. Nerea's going to go in as Chaser for the one match, so at least she's used to flying with the others. And Marvolo as Captain--well, I mean, it's nothing against him, of course, but he's no leader. It'll be a complete rout.

What on earth is Perks doing for Dolohov?

So, any plans for Hogsmeade?

Date: 2012-12-11 05:24 am (UTC)A bunch of us are going down together. You know, Lines has been getting some grief from a few of the older students on account of speaking up, so he's clinging like a vine just now. Which is fine--I mean, I'd rather have him stick to the group than meet with mischief--but it makes it hard to break away for a private butterbeer with Dames or Tamblyn, if either of them asked.

Date: 2012-12-11 05:34 am (UTC)Well, Pav and I promised Lav we wouldn't look if she needed to buy anything for us. I'll make you the same promise, you can come along with us all if you like.
