Journal Entry #2

[bonafide_divinity]

I don't offer advice very often, but it just so happens that I'm feeling relatively altruistic today, so listen closely.

If you don't want to be on the Quidditch team for whatever reason -Speaking personally, I can think of a number of perfectly valid justifications for wanting to stay on terra firma- maybe you shouldn't show up for the tryouts



But I think this advice probably comes too late for most of you. My gold's on Hufflepuff this year.

You'd think that would go without saying.

How did these people even make the team?

[bonafide_divinity]

I don't know.


But if I were to hazard a guess, I'd put it up to temporary insanity on Nicholson's part.

[ladyliberty]

I didn't think Georgia would put being cute over actually being decent, but you know, you never know...

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Yes! Go Hufflepuff!

[Filter]

Are you talking about Marina?

[bonafide_divinity]

I'm talking about Prescott and Kirkland who both tried out for the team even though neither of them actually want to be on it. So, I'm going to jump ship while I still can.

Go Hufflepuff.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Oh, that's right, they're both for your team. Well, I bet Hufflepuff won't let you down!

But anyway, Marina's the one who started my whole idea. I think

I think this is getting silly, all this filtering and writing. Are you busy right now?

[nomorals]

I'm flattered you think so highly of your own House team, Tulio.

[bonafide_divinity]

I'm sorry, but have you seen Prescott's journal entry? And Kirkland's? Apparently, they haven't quite figured out that having to play on the quidditch team is occasionally a direct result of attending the tryouts. And the upshot of this is that half our chasers have no desire to be there and our team is essentially doomed.

[Filtered to Marceline]

Or alternatively, this is an elaborate ruse and Kirkland is a little smarter than he looks. Who knew?
Just keep acting like I'm hurting your delicate feelings.

[notapigeon]

Nooo way. It's Gryffindor all the way this year.

[bonafide_divinity]

We are no longer on speaking terms, Robinson.

[notapigeon]

That's not a mutual agreement.

[cantstarvethisfire]

Aside from Lestrade, have you seen who is on the Hufflepuff team?

[bonafide_divinity]

I know Jaeger's on the team.
So is [inkblot] that Welsh kid who's obsessed with Quidditch. And he at least wants to be on his team.

[cantstarvethisfire]

That's not enough people who are good enough to win. If you're not betting on us bet on Ravenclaw, maybe Gryffindor.

[luxextenebris]

Excuse me, I'm Scottish-Irish. Not Welsh. There's a difference.

[di_intraining]

I'm flattered. Really.

[Spoiler: No he's not.]

[bonafide_divinity]

I'm not surprised, Lestrade.
I would be flattered if I were in your position.

[Spoiler: No. He wouldn't be. He would be suspicious.]

[brothor]

I have already predicted the results.

[bonafide_divinity]

[Inkblot]

You've done what?

[wwhatevver]

I call bullshit on that.

[rule_britannia]

Blimey.

You're really running with this aren't you?

Don't you think you're laying it on a bit thick?

[Filtered]

[bonafide_divinity]

Kirkland, your bluff will be much more convincing if people are reacting to it.

Trust me. I know exactly what I'm doing.

[sixbuckdropout]

i dont even see how quidditch is even that big of a deal

[bonafide_divinity]

Well Dean, I don't see how that ridiculous American game where you run around in disproportionate armour is even that big of a deal, so I guess we're even.

[faintwaves]

...Oh, you've reminded me that I need to try out myself. Thanks.
