And to all naysayers, I say... stick that in your pipe and sodding smoke it.

Somebody pinch me.

Something I’ve wondered about for quite some time now: do students always align their preference in Quiddich teams based on their house? Would it be a breach of fealty to root for another house even if they are superior in skill? We wear our house colors to matches so in order to root for another house, would we have to go and find robes of their colors so as to show preference?

I really don’t understand the houses anyway. Seems like an intentionally antagonistic means of categorizing people by their basic personality types. Smart students can be in any house just as students with poor marks can be in Ravenclaw and not everyone outside of Gryffindor is a coward. We’re sort of dealt with imposed prejudice by being grouped with people “like us” who are in fact no more our kin than any other student in any other house.

Did you know that statistically, women do not work well together? There is constant completion in the ranks because they share enough similarities just in their gender that the need to stand apart becomes the driving force rather than working together. I would imagine this would be the same for the houses. Outside of Quiddich, the competition exist inside the houses between each student in an attempt to not just be a Ravenclaw, let’s say, but the Ravenclaw.

There are no studies where Hogwarts was not segregated to compare to but it seems a flawed system. If we were to remove Quiddich alone, and forgo that major source for commonality and community, would the houses tear themselves apart rather than engage in different cross-house hostility?

I wasn’t actually paying attention but I hear Slytherin did well. As Ravenclaw and Slytherin are currently locked in a house points war, I suppose I should be disappointed? I’m not.

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.))

As you may or may not know Vriska Serket is having a 8irthday in little more than a week and while it is rather late and almost last minute, I was thinking of perhaps throwing her a party. Not on Halloween of course, 8ecause there is likely already something planned 8ut perhaps the Saturday after the 3rd. It should work as it won't interfere with our classes and with Sunday after it still gives us time to get enough rest 8efore classes resume.

I am planning it to 8e a surprise for Vriska so I would very much appreciate it if no one mentioned it to her. Also, if everyone could remain aware of their journals so she doesn't accidentally see it that would 8e excellent!

...Does anyone have any questions or suggestions?

Even though I'm not much of a sports guy I gotta say that the match was pretty amazing. It's not every day you see a game like that.

Special shout out to our gorgeous Captain for the winning shot!

You kept your cover and kicked ass. Congrats to you too!

Oh, for everyone that was up for a game night..how does Friday night after dinner sound? We can just meet in the Great Hall. I'll set up for a few different games and we can decide then.

DUDE.
That was seriously one of the BEST Quidditch matches I've seen yet. Rivals or not, you can't deny that there were some kick butt moves on BOTH sides. I seriously felt my stomach drop when Marceline did that cool upside down move and I totally freaked out when that bludger hit Thor right in the chest. I hope you're okay dude! That looked super painful!

I gotta tell you Slytherin, I'm pretty convinced you guys might end up being the team to beat this year.

But don't worry, I totally took notes!

Hey Norman, can I ask you a question?
