I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_justin]

Hullo, all,

Sorry I didn't join you for the try-outs yesterday, what? I decided to stay in and do some homework so I'd be able to go support the Badgers today.

We're heading down just after luncheon. (Zach and Bobby are hoping to make the side; they've already gone down to get their kit together.)

Shall I see any of you there? Or have you made the same decision as mine in reverse?

Sue is going to try out this year, isn't she? I definitely want to see her. I'll probably leave after she's done, though.

Oh, yes, Sue as well! I do hope she makes the side.

Is that how these things go? I've never seen a Quidditch trial. What was the order of procedure yesterday?

Were there any players you think will definitely be added to Slytherin?

Vince and Greg went out for beaters this year, and they weren't half bad from what I could tell. So they might end up making the team. I was a bit surprised that Pucey made Letchley try out, because he was reserve Keeper last time, but sometimes reserve players are automatically in and sometimes new captains like to shake things up a bit.

It was nice to see Draco and Harry flying again. They really do belong in the air.

And really, it changes from captain to captain. Sometimes they'll just do drills, other times they'll have a mock game to see how people fit, and switch people around as needed. It also depends on how many people are trying for each position, too.

Oh, I say - have you heard about the Gryffindors' roster?

Ron didn't seem happy with his performance, what? I should hate to ask right out in case his hopes have been dashed, but I admit I'm well curious.

I haven't, which makes me think that he hasn't got it. Perhaps we'll find out at the Hufflepuff trials? After all, they'll probably have the entire side sitting together.

Is that traditional? Because if so, I think you can stop worrying we've got condolences to give instead of congratulations, what?

He's sitting in the Gryffindor section with his sister and Fred and George. I didn't think anything of it but do you suppose that means he really did make the side?

I say, he was so critical of himself it's not surprising we thought otherwise. Perhaps he was simply far too critical, what?

Hang on, I just got here.

Well, Johnson is sitting with them and McLaggen is nowhere in sight. I'll wait to cheer until we hear officially, but yes, that's promising.

Good on him.
