Private Message to Smith and Thomas

So. We ought to get together before Saturday, yeah? I've had a chance to talk to Perks already, and she's excited about the whole thing.

And I'd like a list from both of you of people from your houses you think would be good to get on our team. Along with what they're good at. Because it wouldn't do if everyone on our team was ace at Charms, but no-one could manage Transfig, right?

I'm more interested in getting people who'll get the job done than anything. They don't have to be popular, just good at what they do and good at working in a group.

I think we've got the best shot at nabbing Krum for our side, but do either of you know any Beauxbatons students that would be good? They'd have to speak decent English. Just to make it easier.

What's there to plan, then? I thought we'd find out more about the challenges as we go.

But all right, if it's Hufflepuffs you want, then Zimmerman's all right. We ought to see if we could get Goshal, he's good at survival-type things. And fast. Don't know the Beauxbatons lot very much but if you want another Durmstrang bloke, Sven Larsen speaks English perfectly. Well, near enough. And he's our age, too, so he won't get shirty about being told what to do.

Which...I mean, Merlin's breath, Marvolo, I know Perks crushes on Krum but--well. You're a champion. And he's one as well, and all. Do you really think he'll just let you tell him where to go and what to do?

Or are you looking to pump him for information about the second task? Haven't you worked it out? Mind, if you haven't, you'd best get a move on after Saturday. Diggory's got it and you won't get me to say what it is.

Oh, but anyways. Yeah, Zimmerman and Goshal. Clarriker's not bad, either. Let someone else have Wynn-Davis, he's a frightful whinger.

Good to know, thanks for the names Smith.

And yeah, I figured most people will stay away from even asking Krum, but it's because we're both champions that I'd have the best shot at being able to tell him what to do out of all the other leaders, and have him actually listen, yeah?

So I figure lots of people won't even try for him. But he's got skills, and I think it's with the risk.

How did he

I'd rather focus on what we've got going on this weekend.
