RESULTS DAY ONE!!

[alt_harry]

I'm doing better in the chess tourney than I thought!!!

1. Wayne and I completely creamed him
2. Ernie beat me but who didn't see that coming?
3. I thought that Linus was going to destroy me but then I managed it at the last sec and it was wizard! Like a Wronski Feint!
4. Sally-Anne beat me even though she was all over the place trying to run things!

So I'm still in the game I think. Only I know that when I draw Teddy or Ron Im a goner.

I'm glad it was only four matches today because otherwise I'd have headache.

Linus was really upset impresed by that one, he told me. He was sure he had you but he missed where your rook was.

[alt_harry]

Yeah, me too Padma.

I didn't know where my rook was either, it was like I looked at the board and there it was in the right place!

[alt_pansy]

I'm already out. But there's always next year!

[alt_harry]

Did you lose all your matches? I don't think a round robin works like that, I think you have to keep playing even if you lose really bad, Pansy, or the totals will get mucked up, wont they?

[alt_ron]

I'll go easy on you?

[alt_harry]

Youd better!!

I think I'd try harder but us Snakes have Teddy and he can give you a run for your money.

[alt_ron]

We'll see.

[alt_harry]

Yes we will!!

[alt_padma]

That's not how it works, Parkinson. You play everyone and then the person with the highest number of wins is the overall winner.

[alt_lucius]

Well done, Mr Marvolo - I am certain you shall continue to do Slytherin proud.

[alt_harry]

Thank you Mr Malfoy.

How are you?

[alt_pansy]

Well, I can pretty much be sure it won't be me.

[alt_pansy]

I'm sure Sally-Anne explained it all to me but I imagine I was thinking of something else when she was talking to me.

[alt_lucius]

Very well, Harry. Thank you.

We look forward to seeing you over the holidays. You are prepared for exams, no doubt?

[alt_michael]

I'm really glad I didn't join up now. That would be horrid, to have to keep playing when you know you're going to lose anyway.

[alt_harry]

I hadn't thought about that till just now.

[alt_harry]

I'm trying, Mr Malfoy. I hope I do well. Only I managed to get a bad mark on a paper that was about myself so I don't know how I can do that well, in Defence anyway.

[alt_lucius]

Ah, well, one may presume that your exam will contain questions on topics other than yourself. Were I you, I should expect to see more about Professor Lockhart's exploits and the creatures he has encountered on his (many) travels.

I am certain you will perform satisfactorily.

[alt_ernie]

You weren't that bad! It could've gone either way.
