We're holding general tryouts for two beaters and a chaser for our next match. It'll be on a trial basis, and depending on how things go, you might have a chance to move to reserves or take over the position permanently.

I've asked Madame Hooch if we can use the Quidditch field Saturday starting at one, so we'll have a chance to try everyone out and have the people who make the cut practise with the team properly on Sunday at our normal time.

You forgot to mention that you're captain, now.

Congratulations!

Thanks.

Really, Harry? What fantastic news!

Well, I'm sure it wasn't fantastic news to Adrian, but he must have known something like this was coming...

I'm sure you'll do a splendid job!

From:

Thanks Daphs. I wish it was under better circumstances, but I'm sure everyone on the team will pull together and do what has to be done.

I think I've got the tryout plays sorted, but it really depends on how many people come out for it.

And I've got to sort out Sunday too.

Two new beaters are going to be a nightmare. We'll be lucky if they don't end up taking one of us out.

And. Do you think we should do something this weekend? With Katie and Pans? Or would it just be too much?

Slughorn's gone too far, I tell you. He's put the team at a major disadvantage for the rest of the year. Me and Alfred, especially - he and Adrian and I had perfect sync, we had our pattern down, and now we'll have to grease in someone new. In addition to the beaters.

I suppose we're meant to be thankful that Al wasn't scuppered for good as well.

Too much what, exactly?

Here's the thing: do you fancy her? Because I can't tell for certain, you know.

He really has. I mean, I sort of thought I might be captain one day, but I'd rather be captain of a team that had a decent chance.

At least they're just out for the one match. I mean, it might be a bit weird for Adrian to join back up with me as captain instead, but I'm planning on giving him a chance to finish up the season. Especially because we didn't get to play at all last term.

Even though he was an utter idiot.

From:

One match, yeah, but it's not as if we have dozens of them to make up for a loss, like the league's do.

Mostly an idiot for getting caught. Too bad Avery's gone. He would have kept those sort of secret arrangements exclusive and locked up tighter than Gringotts.

From:

alt_harry

Yeah. You've got that much right.

Not sure it would've been good to keep that spell damage under wraps the way it was, but that comes from not knowing enough. Maybe he would've been better at that too.

From:

alt_harry

And yeah, I like her well enough. I think. We've just sat together at the one match, is all, but she's pretty, and we had an okay time.

I just meant with all the other things going on with the tryouts and all, we might be too busy.

From:

alt_draco

Mate, if you really fancy a girl, you'll make time to be with her no matter how busy you are.

You should at least meet up with her again to figure out if you do. Fancy her, that is.
