Quidditch tryouts

Well, I suppose I wouldn't have made a very good Beater anyway. Although I was rather proud of that one hit that tore Linus Moon's hat entirely off his head.
Even though I was aiming in an entirely different direction.
Anyway, now that Lee Jordan's gone, perhaps there is an opening for commentating at the matches, and they might consider me. It's worth a try at least.

Date: 2013-09-22 03:24 am (UTC)I say, no, of course--I've every confidence in Lovegood, what--I was just wondering if it's something she's studied in the past, or perhaps tried before.

Date: 2013-09-22 03:25 am (UTC)I say, I might even be able to follow them, between your commentary and Zach's constant tutoring, what!

Date: 2013-09-22 02:58 am (UTC)Please, the only thing more embarrassing than the thought of you on the side, Lovegood, would be the thought of your commentary on the matches. Professor Hooch and the Headmistress would be daft to let you anywhere near that microphone.
Unless it's if Lines had actually made the squad. Honestly, I don't know what Cho was thinking, asking. (Nothing against your flying, Linus, but I can't even believe you considered it. Between Prefects and Quidditch practice, when would you have had time to revise?)

Date: 2013-09-22 03:39 am (UTC)You wouldn't be offended, would you? I mean, we'll see. I could probably stand to come to one or two matches. Maybe not Ravenclaw's against Gryffindor, because then I don't have to worry about cheering one side or the other.
Then again, I might just want to come and listen to every daft mad thing Loony says during the match, as a sort of comedic break from homework!

Date: 2013-09-22 03:47 am (UTC)Although honestly, don't tell anyone but I laughed out loud when I saw what Smith said to Lines.

As for you, Patil, give over: Watching Moon and Lovegood here out on the pitch was a highlight of this year's tryouts.
Haven't laughed so hard in ages. Cheers, you two, for the show!

Date: 2013-09-22 03:34 am (UTC)Seriously? You're lecturing me about discipline of the body?
Does that line work on Lav when you want to try a new kind of snogging? I hope not. Pomposity's not at all an attractive look for you.
And now you've got bloody SMITH taking the piss. Sometimes I wish you would think a little more about your reputation and less about kissing Professor Dovs's arse.
