Please don't lose all hope, either of you. Of course, I have to admit it was probably the worst possible time for a broom accident, but I'm sure that Madam Hooch will put in a good word for both of you and explain that you're both good flyers, really. And I don't know how they think you could have avoided it when Jeremy Jugson swerved like that. What could he have been thinking?
Well, I suppose I know what he was thinking. But it certainly smacks of desperation, so perhaps he didn't do himself any favours, either.
Are you sure it's quite beyond repair, Portia? You might send an owl to Grant Page and ask for advice. Keepers certainly know everything possible about replacing crunched broom straws. Maybe he can think of something that could help.
Anyway, try to put it behind you, both of you. Why, you did quite well on the first two days, and surely the scores must average out some. No one can be perfect at everything.
