I know it's been a few days since our match, but I wanted to say good on Slytherin for performing under difficult circumstances. Crabbe, Goyle, Pucey, welcome back to the side. We currently have an opening for reserve Keeper -- Derwent, Croaker, Perks, you're welcome to try out for it, just let me know if you're interested. And all three of you should plan on trying out next term, too.

My Father gave us the ability to use Private Messages as a gift. As you all know, we shouldn't take these gifts for granted. I'm grateful to Madame Umbridge for making the safety and well-being of all the students of Hogwarts her top priority, and for reminding us that our privacy is a privilege.

It's a lesson I'm sure none of us will ever forget.

Private Message to Cedric

Can we talk? Soon?

I'm s

I'm sorry. About what happened.

Thank you so much for the encouragement, but I think I will focus on OWLs for the rest of this term. Maybe I'll try out again in the autumn, though?

That's fine. We'll have some openings next term, so it'd be worth your while.

And you did good work up there.

Well done. Sounds sincere and loyal, but an undertone there that would prompt those who know you best to read between the lines.

Derwent and Croaker were a disaster - you're too charitable. But I suppose that's where I get to come in, hey?

Re: Private message to Harry

[alt_harry]

Thanks. I just thought about what you'd say.

I think Derwent won't be nearly as idiotic if we get him away from Croaker. And he's got awful aim, but he wasn't bad at making contact with Bludgers. Maybe he can catch a quaffle. Maybe.

Croaker's definitely worn his last set of quidditch robes, though.

Sure. Go flying after YPL exercises tomorrow? If you just want to sit and talk, I still have the room in the astronomy tower and could get Professor Siz to add you back to the wards.

It was a hard thing to see.

You were pretending to be me? How flattering. We should colour-charm your hair.

Crabbe and Goyle are still the best we've got. They might share a brain, but it appears to be an advantage when they're bludgering things together.

Re: Private message to Harry Marvolo

[alt_sally_anne]

Thank you.

Re: Private Message to Cedric

[alt_harry]

Yeah. It was.

Tomorrow works.

We should probably talk first. Maybe flying later if there's enough time?

Re: Private Message to Cedric

[alt_cedric]

ok I'll talk to her about adding you back on. Anyone else or just the two of us?

Re: Private message to Harry

[alt_harry]

I have a feeling that I'd look absolutely ridiculous blond.

Re: Private Message to Cedric

[alt_harry]

Just the two of us, yeah?

Re: Private message to Harry Marvolo

[alt_harry]

And.

I know you're not on the side any more.

But you know that if you ever want someone to walk places with, or, you know, just talk or something, you just have to say.

I made a promise to Victor that I'd keep an eye out for you. And I sort of didn't do a good job with that. Obviously. So. I'm sorry I let you both down. And I'll try to be a better friend.

Re: Private Message to Cedric

[alt_cedric]

Thanks for the meeting. It was interesting. Also nice to actually talk to someone who seems to share similar feelings. I hope we can figure out something solid to actually do about it though.

Re: Private Message to Cedric

[alt_harry]

Agreed.

I think if we really work on coming up with something we can do, it'll be better than sitting around and worrying about what she'll pull next.

And if we both bring on a second person we trust who agrees, there'd be four of us.
