[Private to Jules]

If you still want to know, everything's going to be fine. We're getting everything worked out.

Thank you for allowing me to invade your room for the last couple of weeks.

[Private to Alfred]

Is that offer still valid? I'm not going home yet.

[/Private]

Goodbye, Hogwarts. It's been wonderful. Even after everything, I'm glad I moved here from Beuxbatons. I'll miss it.

Good luck next year, Slytherin. And thank you for the yearbook votes. I'm flattered.

Are the results of the Quidditch match even valid, considering that the competitors weren't quite themselves? I certainly wouldn't want to play my last game as the opposite sex.

Regardless, congratulations to Gryffindor. Now you can drown yourself in exam preparation with the rest of us.

[Private to Alfred + Jules]

Monsieur Bachant came to my house the day before Easter. He spoke to my father before I realized he was there. I don't think I'll go home.

I should have done more studying over the break. With NEWTs coming up, there's hardly time for anything else. I certainly don't envy those of you who have another Quidditch game to worry about on top of exams. It always gets so much more difficult to concentrate at the end of the year...

In any case, good luck, everyone.

[Filtered to Slytherin, addressed to the team]

Listen. Georgia, Eridan, the two of you especially, you're both embarrassments. I do not care if you hate each other, I do not care about your heritage, I care about winning the Quidditch Cup. So I except you to keep yourselves together. After the weekend, do as you please, but you will behave as adults when you are on the pitch. If we lose because you're too childish to play nice, the rest of the year will be very long and painful for the both of you, I promise.

That goes for everyone.

Don't let the fiasco at the memorial drag down your performance. Whether you have Muggle parents, or you're being blamed and glared at in the hallways. We're better than that, and we're stronger than that, if not being liked was something worth quitting over, we would have done so months ago. If the rest of the school wants to blame Slytherin, let them. Their anger will make them reckless.

[Private - Georgia and Dave]

Are the two of you alright? If there's anything I can do for you, please let me know.

My last Hogwarts Quidditch game in in a week. Funny how the time flies by, isn't it? The days seem long on their own, but when you start to run out, not so much.

In any case, I can honestly say that Slytherin is very well-prepared for the match. Any rumors or worries to the contrary are simply untrue, meaning that I am no longer training a replacement Seeker.

Eridan, how is the broom working for you?

You can all keep your gloating or condolences to yourselves, because we don't need them. Despite our loss, we scored enough points to maintain an overall lead. I thought I'd clear that up before the inevitable onslaught of inane comments.

On a similar note, I'm fine. The broken bits were taken care of immediately, as of now, they're only keeping me here to be irritating. As if I'll start hemorrhaging blood on the trip from the hospital wing to the dorm.

This is rubbish, I'm leaving.

Current Location: Hospital Wing!

It's a week until the game, and the team is in very good shape. I would be concerned if I were a Ravenclaw, especially after your last embarrassment. If there's anything worse than being slaughtered like animals, the lot of you are soon to find out what it is.

Coraline, don't expect any special treatment because of your age and inexperience. Having shorter arms will no longer be accepted as a legitimate excuse for losing.

I think this costume may be a bit more scandalous than I'd originally thought.

I suppose I should try avoiding any drafts.

((ooc: This costume being the Bondage Boobflap Wedding Dress. ))

That went well. But it could have gone better. As soon as I track down our darling Keeper who seems to be hiding from me, I'd like you all down on the pitch for a friendly chat about discretion, and why giving the opposing team free shots is not a reliable strategy.

Good luck to both Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff next month. I'm sure your match will be interesting.

I am not pregnant.

Now that that's out of the way, Slytherin team? If you have any plans for Hogsmeade this weekend, cancel them. We will be having practice, and you will not complain.

Of course, that day-long public service announcement had to fall during our pitch time. Slytherin, we're having an extra practice tomorrow to make up for it.

I found that entire event wholly unnecessary, but then again, I understand that many of my classmates were raised like animals, and simply don't know when to keep their mouths closed.

It can't be that difficult to separate the civilized from the troglodytes, can it? I maintain that my team should have been exempt.

Besides the start of Quidditch practice, it's been a fairly quiet week. I suppose that's for the best, but it makes the time spent off the pitch even more boring in comparison to what it used to be. Even the homework is too easy. When is the final year stress going to appear, I wonder?

Oh, but back to Quidditch - Slytherin, a few of your brooms are shoddy or on their last legs. I've left a catalog on each of your doors, pick one and I'll get it for you. I've highlighted some suggestions, but you're smart enough to be able to handle it, no?

...my father says good luck this year, Matthew.

((ooc: Hey Quidditch players! You might notice first-years lurking at your practices. They may or may not be in your house, but if not they will be hiding their colors. If your character is one to suspect, then by all means do.))

[private to friends, take that as you will]

~ Write to father
~ ~~Finalize team lineup~~
~ Astronomy homework
~ Peter...

Anyone who actually knows me couldn't have taken that seriously, could you? If you have even the slightest idea how I spend my spare time...honestly.

Think about things before you get offended, for the love of Merlin.

[/private]

The team's been decided on. Everyone else, please take note, so that you know whose faces those are in your inevitable nightmares.

Beaters: Prince Feng and Ivan Braginsky
Chasers: Chel, Natsuo Sagan, and Manly NPC #1
Keeper: Manly NPC #2
Seeker: That would be myself.

Congratulations to the other captains. I hope for your sake that you don't mind me infiltrating the boy's club.

Good luck to each of you~

[Filtered to Slytherin:]

Our try-out day is Thursday. No more nonsense like we had under Ali. If you're not going to win, then you need not stop by.
