Good game Ravenclaws, you nearly had us there. Key word being "nearly", but it was still a good game all the same.

Hufflepuffs and Honey Badgers, I'm damn proud of all of you! This was a great start to the session, and if we keep this up I say that cup's going to have our name on it!! We've shown this school what we can do, and we're not going to stop with just this match so all of you other Houses better look out!!

You two. We may have won, but you're both not off the hook. Explain yourselves. What the hell happened on the pitch?

You did great. Bad luck about the wind, but otherwise you would've caught the Quaffle.

I didn't watch the game per se. Not most of it anyway. But I have seen Tony's face.

Right.

Not that I care about the ego of the century, but he's not too badly hurt is he? Wasn't planning on swinging that hard.

Tony's fine. He's very good at getting his own back with interest, though. Be interesting to see how you fair after the next match.

I'll make sure to come in prepared.

You'd be an idiot not to. Hadn't taken you for an idiot. Well, less of one than most.

Coming from you, I'll take it as a compliment. I never intended to rest on my laurels and I don't intend to stop this winning streak. I'm going to take the Honey Badgers to the top.

That's what every team captain wants. Seems to me, the captain who remembers why their men were sorted together in the first place is the captain who will ultimately succeed.

I was thinking about how Quidditch seems to be a Slytherin and Gryffindor preferred sport. General talk favors them anyway. Do you think that has to do with most motivational approaches favoring victory and tradition? I've never watched Tony lead the Ravenclaws but I would imagine "Let's go beat those Hufflepuffs" wouldn't be nearly as effective as "Let's go outsmart them."

Victory isn't the sole motivator of men.

Just a thought.
