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.))

That match was absolutely brilliant. Specter's announcing only makes it 100% better!

[Hufflepuff Filter]

I'll definitely be there for training!

[di_intraining]

Specter's a riot. I hope he keeps announcing, I want him at our game.

[Puff Filter]

Excellent. We should take some time before that to discuss the match too. I like some of the moves the Slytherins had, we could use some of them ourselves. No doubt the Ravenclaws are going to be thinking of the same thing though, so thinking up counter-moves is probably going to be important. You free tomorrow night for a meeting? Reckon we could use some discussion on what the rest of the team thinks.

[luxextenebris]

Me too! I can appreciate his enthusiasm and he definitely makes the match more hilarious.

[Puff filter]

I could ask Axel for a few pointers on Beater moves if you wanted. We need all the help against Ravenclaw that we can get after all. And yeah I'm free tomorrow night.

[di_intraining]

I wonder why he's not in the team this year? He's a damn good Beater, fellow's got a strong arm. Remember last year when he sent me to the Healing Wing? Broke my arm with a hit from a Bludger and nearly knocked me clear off my broom.

[Puff Filter]

I wouldn't recommend it. Don't want people saying stuff behind our backs and all. But what we can do is go over his play.

[luxextenebris]

Oh man, I remember that. I heard he was late to school because he got into trouble for brawling in public, so he missed tryouts.

[puff filter]

True. Axel wouldn't blab or anything though I don't think. But it's probably better if we talk about our strategies as the team.

[di_intraining]

Damn, that's a pity. Still, it's good for us so I guess I can't really complain.

[Puff Filter]

Right. I'll send out the call and get the boys and girls together, see what we can come up with.
