I have to say, I'm loving the Olympics right now. Oh how darling the girls competing in rhythmic gymnastics are. Simply amazing, I almost wish I asked mother if I could have done taken it up when I was 6.

Not only that, but England won three gold in Equestrian. Oh, it's all simply fantastic.

Oh Bunny, you simply must come over this week and watch the group events for the rhythmic gymnastics. Oh please say you'll come over.

And, if anyone else is interested. I could even talk mumsie into letting me make a day of it. Like a party, only less mess.

I saw a little of the gymnastics. It was pretty, but not very exciting. I think you'd do well in it, you seem the type. I didn't catch the horse sports though.

Don't suppose you watched the football games? The boys got slaughtered, but the girls did a good job.

Arthur is coming down for the Quidditch World Cup, so I guess you could see him then.

[nobodyscrumpet]

Oh? I seem the type do I? A little early in the day, for flirting don't you think, Greg?

I didn't watch them, but I could hear daddy sounding less than impressed because of it.

I don't want to see him for the cup. I want him to come watch group rhythmic gymnastics.

[Not that she's being a brat.]

[di_intraining]

[Inksplat. Ink, splat.]

Exactly how is me stating an opinion equal to me flirting? I just think you'd do well in it. Nothing wrong with that now, is there?

Yeah, my dad wasn't too happy either. I could hear him shouting from the living room.

Good luck dragging him along. I don't think he'd fancy watching it, Quidditch seems more his thing.

[nobodyscrumpet]

And of course, my doing things like that in a tight form fitting leotard really has nothing to do with it? Really? You're barely more subtle than Stark.

[Oh yeah, she's teasing him.]

I can't say I've really been interested enough in football to understand why you boys go so crazy over it.

Well thank you. Not that I think I'll need much luck, I know I can convince him.

[di_intraining]

As hard as it is to believe, no. And don't compare me to Stark either, he's got absolutely no boundaries when it comes to women. It's like he thinks with his coc ego rather than his brain.

[You'd think after a few years of this he'd clue in, but nope.]

Much like how I can't understand why girls like rhythmic gymnastics so much. My sisters were practically squealing over it the whole day, begging Mum to send them for classes.

Confident aren't you?

[nobodyscrumpet]

So then you're saying that I'm not even remotely interesting to look at then? Oh come on, Stark isn't that bad. I find him quite funny.

[Silly boy.]

Because we love the grace, poise and the flow of movement. The utterly charming outfits are also a draw too.

Well when you've known someone for your entire life, you know how to get them to do what you want.

[di_intraining]

Hang on, I didn't say anything like that! Stop putting words in my mouth, will you? And Stark isn't funny, he's a bloody pest. Idiot thinks he can walk around breaking rules and getting away with it.

It does seem like a very girl sport.

Can't deny that. My sisters can run rings around me; they know I don't really have the heart to be harsh on'em.

[nobodyscrumpet]

You're the one who said that you don't want to see me in a leotard. I don't know about the breaking rules, but he's hardly been a pest to me at all.

Of course it's a girls sport. I can't help but think any boy who tried to get into it would just look a tad silly. Though, I'd still watch one who did it.

Exactly, which is why I know Arthur will visit me whenever I ask him too.

[di_intraining]

I never said any of that that. The only thing I did was state an opinion which you mistakenly took as my flirting with you. And if that's really the case, than you're a lucky one. Everytime I see him at school there's always one remark or another from him.

The poor chap. Are you going to force your cousin to give it a go?

[rule_britannia]

I'm in London watching the Cup over the weekend with Greg, but I'm sure I can spare some time for you afterwards Charlie.

[nobodyscrumpet]

Look at you with your going out and being sociable. I'm sure Auntie doesn't know what to make of it.

And what's this 'spare some time' nonsense?

[If they were face to face right now, she'd be pouting at him.]

[rule_britannia]

Good lord I can feel your pouting from here.

[nobodyscrumpet]

Well then you should know that you don't spare time for me, your dearest and most favourite cousin. You make time for me.

[rule_britannia]

Fine, fine.
I will make time for you, princess.
After the Cup.

[nobodyscrumpet]

And you'll bring me back one of America's little flags I hope? Because you love me and I'm ever so sweet to you. And I'll make those scones you like.

[rule_britannia]

I'll bring you back anything you like, within reason.

[nobodyscrumpet]

So then that rather lovely beater on the American team isn't going to be coming with you then? Oh, you're just horrible to me. I guess a flag and some chocolate frogs will have to do.

And a box of Quality Streets?

[gloriousandfree]

I haven't been watching the Muggle Olympics. My grandmere doesn't own a television.

Is it really that exciting?

[nobodyscrumpet]

Well the show jumping was definitely exciting, that's for sure. I wouldn't say a lot of the other events were.

I'd be more inclined to say fascinating, over exciting. Some of the gymnastic sets were amazing though. I do wish you had been able to see them, they were so elegant.

[gloriousandfree]

You know far more about these things than I do and I grew up a muggle. I heard about the Olympics in town actually--Of course the French are cheering for different people than back in England, I assume.

Are they are any swimming events coming up? I remember I liked those last time the Olympics came around. The gymnastic sets, those are the ones...like dancing right?

[nobodyscrumpet]

Well, daddy is a muggle and works with the police. So this Olympics have been more important than any of the others in this house.
But you're right, it is quite a shade more exciting for us because it's all we see right now.

They've already been and won I'm afraid. Annoyingly the American's were a force to be reckoned with and pretty much won everything. England didn't even make the top ten. Utterly beastly if you ask me.

[gloriousandfree]

I suppose that's to be expected. Looking at things, they've won quite a lot. We should really know with the Americans. Look at the ones at school.

[nobodyscrumpet]

Well if we use the ones here as reference then the stereotype of American's being loud, arrogant and irritating is pretty much on the button then.

[gloriousandfree]

They can be sweet too. Don't be rude Vicky.

[nobodyscrumpet]

It's not being rude when you're using your past experiences as a reference.

But if you really insist. I'll be good, I suppose.
