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.

Had I actually made the squad, I would have been in quite a quandary, yes. However, I estimated the likelihood of that to be relatively small. A much greater likelihood was that I might, by trying out, learn something from the experience that might serve to illuminate my work on analysis of Quidditch statistics in some unforeseen manner.

Learning and research is not always done with the mind alone, Padma; sometimes it behooves those of us in Ravenclaw to remind ourselves that there is wisdom in the learning of the body which can complement the explorations of the mind in ways that bring both to much more rewarding efflorescence.

Oi, Moon.

What you do with your right hand, mate, is better left out of the conversation entirely.

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!

Watch it, Smith. Or do you want to lose Hufflepuff five points for cheeking a Prefect?

I see someone's following the Percy Weasley path to self-righteousness.

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.
