Congratulations Slytherins. Bad luck to Gryffindors, and Ravenclaws?

We'll see you lot at the pitch next. It'll be fun.

Well, that was an exciting game. I reckon we might have to step up our game a little if we're going to have any hopes of holding up the Cup this year. I'm having another training session this coming weekend, so Hufflepuff Quidditch team? You know where you're going to have to be.

Also, to the first years. In case you didn't know, the name's Greg Lestrade and I'm the head of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team. In case you're interested in learning a bit more about Quidditch or you're thinking of picking up the game, come down to the pitch this weekend at 9am and I'll give you all a trial lesson. This invitation's for everyone so second to seventh years who are interested, you lot can come on down too.

You sly devil. You were bloody brilliant. I'm regretting that I gave you those hints right now, I might've just docked my team's chances this year.

Absolutely brilliant.

Umm...sorry about that last bit of the match. I don't know what came over me.

((OOC: Basically, Greg and Victoria got super excited over Arthur's play and ended up hugging each other.))

Kid, I'm offering you. If I thought it was going to be a waste of time, I wouldn't have asked.

You don't have to end up being the next big Quidditch player, I'm not aiming for that with just a first try. But Quidditch is a fun game and one of the things that helped me get through my first year here.

[A long pause. Ink blots.]




Okay. I'll give it a shot.

[di_intraining]

Great. I'll see you there then, 9am. Don't be late.

Quidditch aside, how's first year going for you? God I miss the homework from then, I've got enough work piled up that my table looks like old Ben.

[brokethecycle]

9am okay, got it.

Its. Its going good, I think. Um, its a lot to get used to but its ...still a lot better than going to school back home.

[di_intraining]

You Muggleborn too? So am I actually, and I understand exactly what you mean. It took me a few months to adjust to the way things are run and taught here. Can't say I miss math, but it'd be a lie if I said everything was just sunshine and rainbows.

[brokethecycle]

Yeah. Its really not so bed, though. It was kind of really scary at first- and then all that crazy stuff started happening but... I think, even with how strange and new all of this is, I'd definitely take it over being home.

Do we really not take math again?

[di_intraining]

You're taking it a lot better than I did. That's good. If you ever need any help though, drop me a note through the journals.

You can take a subject like it in 3rd year, but I never cared much for it.

[brokethecycle]

Okay. Thank you.

Yeah, I think I might opt out of that, too.
