You're very welcome, Harry, and congratulations, again.
Yes, it was Tony's own playbook (we each had one but as he was Captain he had annotations on the plays). I'm pleased you'll be sharing it with Pansy. She is, as you can imagine, eager for any artefact that offers a glimpse of the man her father was. Use it well.
I'm sure you feel a greater amount of pressure to win this match - and of course, I do hope that the strategies in the playbook help you - but I also caution you not to over-think your responsibility. No one expects Slytherin to win under the circumstances (though if you should do, so much the better!). The important thing, as you say, is to get your broom under you as Captain so that next year you'll know exactly what to do.
To that end, the best advice I can give you is to trust your instincts and your authority. The team will want to know that you are confident in your decisions. Even if they turn out to be wrong, simply make a choice. You may always change your directions later.

You'll do fine.
