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?

Struggle's that sport you're always going on about right? Sounds like a good way of spending your earnings, especially if it's on the new Comet. It's got great acceleration speed and decent tailwind.

[luxextenebris]

That's the one! Oh, that reminds me that I brought my gear and extra set to school with me to show Oggie. He was curious about it so I said I would.

That's why I bought it. So long as it gets me to the Quaffle faster and flies, that's all I care about.

[di_intraining]

And it gets us one step closer to the cup.

Is Oggie thinking of trying out as well? Reckon he'd make a good Beater, he's got the arm strength for it.

[luxextenebris]

That too.

You could always ask! Having a Jaeger on the team would make us a full powerhouse!

[di_intraining]

Guess I could.

[If the Jaeger wasn't too pissed at him for yelling at his younger brother.]

But I think you might have a higher chance of getting him to tryouts than me. I don't really know him.

[luxextenebris]

Hmm, okay then. I'll talk to him about it when I show him how Struggle works!

[di_intraining]

What is Struggle about anyway? It sounds a bit like wrestling. If it is, it's right up Oggie's alley.

[luxextenebris]

Well, I guess it's sort of like wrestling, but not really. You're outfitted with pads that have magnets in them that attract these balls and given a two minutes to beat your opponent. Whoever has the most balls at the end of the two minutes is the winner of the match.

[di_intraining]

So you knock the balls off your opponent

[Whoops, that sounds bad. STRIKE.]

Definitely something Oggie would like to do. Don't rough each other up too much though; I'm gonna need the both of you fit and ready for Quidditch practise.

[luxextenebris]

You got it, Captain.
