Victoria, I need your help. Please.

[Filtered to Hufflepuffs.]

So, I guess I'm your captain this year. I say it's high time Hufflepuff got a bit of gold and glory for Quidditch. I know that some of you are thinking of trying out for the team; if you'd like, I could take a look at what you've got on Sunday, just to let you know what you can work on before the actual tryouts itself. They'll be on the 15th and 16th, so you've got time to work on your game. Any other questions, pass them to me and I'll do my best to answer.

Let's try to make this the year Hufflepuff holds up the Quidditch Cup, yeah?

This Saturday still on?

I am such an idiot, I got angry snapped at made a foo

[There's a few more angry and frustrated strikes as he tries to phrase his problem exactly, before in a fit of rage he accidentally ripped the page of his journal. Taking a deep breath, he starts over a new page, this time writing carefully.]

I said something and got involved in something I shouldn't have, and I don't even know why.

[nobodyscrumpet]

Well, at least you're being very specific right now.

[Yes, she's being sarcastic.]

Do I even want to ask what you are even going on about right now?

You know how Maxim and Van announced over the journals that they're going out?

I saw Maxim kissing Rapun another girl. So I made a scene and yelled at him.

[Perma filter]

[nobodyscrumpet]

It sounds familiar.

Well, I can't possibly see how this is a bad thing. Maxim was clearly in the wrong there, Greg. You did the right thing.

Congratulation Greg on getting t)(e position!! So proud of you!! I am sure you will lead us to victory t)(is year!!

Also since i am trying out for chaser t)(is year, i was practising over the summer, but i guess coming on Sunday wouldn't hurt, t)(ey might be somet)(ing i mig)(t need to improve on, so you never know!!

[di_intraining]

Thanks Feferi. I'm pretty surprised myself; I'm not too sure why I got elected, but I'll do my best.

I'm glad to know you've been practising. We've got a tough year ahead of us, that's for sure. The other Houses have pretty good line-ups.

[bubblingover]

its pretty easy for anyone to see t)(at you totally deserve captain! You )(ave worked really )(ard for t)(is! So please Greg give yourself credit for once!!

T)(at certainly doesn't mean we are going to make t)(ings easy for t)(em!!

[di_intraining]

I'll give myself credit when it'd due; after I see that cup with Hufflepuff's name on it.

No, we're definitely not. We'll give them a right run for their money.

[bubblingover]

Give yourself at least a pat on the back? please? Ot)(erwise next time you're in the common room, i will do it myself!! or a )(ug, w)(ich one would you prefer?

[rule_britannia]

Satu

Oh yes of course.

[di_intraining]

Just bring your broom; I'll bring the other Quidditch equipment. We'll practice at the field.

[rule_britannia]

Sure.
Thanks for this, by the way.

[di_intraining]

It's no problem at all. You helped me all those years to get through my subjects; it's the least I can do for you.

[rule_britannia]

Come off it Greg.
If you weren't capable, I wouldn't have been able to help you.

[di_intraining]

Fantastic! I knew I could count on you Nepeta!

[hairflyingheartpounding]

[INK BLOTS. BIG ONES.]

Congratulations on making captain.

[di_intraining]

[A long pause, and then...]

Thanks.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

You're welcome.

[di_intraining]

[And that's the max amount of Rapunzel he's having for the rest of the week. He's taking Victoria's advice seriously to heart.]

[luxextenebris]

Congratulations, Greg!

I'll be trying out for Chaser again this year, so you can count on me to be at tryouts!

[di_intraining]

Thanks Roxas. I'll do my best to bring Hufflepuff up on the podium.

Great! I think we're getting a nice solid team from all the replies I'm getting here. Should be a good year for Quidditch!

[luxextenebris]

We'll take the cup this year! The other teams won't know what's coming :)

[di_intraining]

I don't want to sound cocky or anything, but...I think we've got a real good shot at it this year. So long as we make our practices and work hard, we'll show'em all what us Hufflepuffs can do!

You coming down this Sunday? I know you're a great flyer, but there might be some others down there who might need the extra help, and I don't think I can split my time off for all of them.
