alt_harryThanks to everyone who tried out. Croaker, Derwent, Perks, make sure you let me know your full schedules for the next two weeks so we can fit in an hour or two per week of additional flying time before hols to go over some drills you can practise.
We'll have our work cut out for us after hols.

Date: 2012-12-10 04:04 am (UTC)REALLY? You want me to play?
Are you sureUm, my schedule, okay. Can I get it to you tomorrow?
I have toRe: Private message to Harry
Date: 2012-12-10 04:13 am (UTC)The StrettonsI'm not sureOkay so here's the thing. The Strettons usually make me deliver baskets of jam pretty much continuously from the moment I get to Coventry until ten pm on Christmas Eve. AND they're Ravenclaws, so they're not going to be happy about helping Slytherin win against Ravenclaw (although I think Jeremy won't care anymore and he'd fly with me, and you know he's actually pretty good.)
BUT
The fact that you're the Quidditch captain ought to make everything okay. You just may have to send me instructions, and make them as specific as possible in terms of how many hours a day, what you want me doing, and so on. If it comes from you they'll let me do it.
Anyway. About my schedule. I've been working for Professor Dolohov -- he's paying me to clerk for him, which means writing out all his Christmas cards, and he's probably got another batch. Mostly I've been going on Monday afternoons. If I can work around that I would prefer to but if not I'm sure he will be understanding.
Other than that it's the same as you -- classes, those
stupidYPL exercise sessions, all the rest.Re: Private message to Harry
Date: 2012-12-10 04:13 am (UTC)I mean, of everyone who came out, you could both chuck a quaffle and actually pay attention to Draco and Freddy, and that's probably the most important thing I was looking for.
And you flew with Wood, right?
Tomorrow is fine. I know it'd be extra, but it's important to get on the same page before hols, and I want us to have the best chance of doing well. Show them just how good we really are.
Re: Private message to Harry
Date: 2012-12-10 04:19 am (UTC)And I'll be specific.
I remember the Strettons.
I might see if I can get you invited to New London during hols to run through some drills for a few hours. As, you know, a guest or something. Depending. I'll try.

Date: 2012-12-10 04:31 am (UTC)Honest, Sally-Anne, I picked you because you were the best one to come out for the spot. You earned it fair and square.
