Fantasy Quidditch!

[alt_zacharias]

Fleet and Bobolis were taking names in the common room last night, to play fantasy Quidditch. As the league's starting up, I thought I'd get in on it.

I couldn't get Broadmoor or Pummel, but I've got Finbar Quigley, and Cal Crockford, as he's started playing reserve Beater for Ballycastle as well. Oh, and one of the Drumgooles - Siobhan, I think, for Keeper. And two of Wigtown's chasers: Gunther Willett and Melania Featherstone. I didn't get Moran, though. Anyone know who did? But I've got Mullet from Kenmare. And for seeker I've got Singh.

Who else is playing this year? I was late to it last time and didn't get any good players at all, they were rubbish all season.

(Oh, and that basilisk skin in CoMC? Wicked. Professor Brutka's well impressive, isn't he?)

We've got a league going here in Gryffindor, too. I got lucky and took Pummel first round. And Carrig Drumgoole, second round. They're the best I've got, but I think it'll be a decent team.

(Oh, and yeah. I mean, I knew it was huge from what H, but that's RIDICULOUS!! Can you imagine seeing it alive?! Made the Boomslang look tiny beside it, and that one was taller than me.)

That's not so bad. Last year I might as well have just taken the Cannons whole lineup, for all the good my players did.

[alt_ron]

Heh.

Well, I love the Cannons, but I wouldn't want too many of 'em on my fantasy roster. If y'know what I mean. I ended up with Dimbleby, but one Chaser in three can't do too much harm. Won't help much, either, obviously. But, yeah.

[alt_zacharias]

You support the Cannons? Bloody hell, Weasley, you're not half bonkers like everyone says!

Anyway, I probably should do some of that homework. Dunno why I thought Divination would be an easy class, just because everyone said.

Course I support the Cannons! Always have done, and I'm not quitting them just because they're down on their luck. Any team can have a bad run.

Be careful what you say bad about 'em, too, around Bones. She's Cannon-loyal, too.

Yeah. I haven't looked at that stuff yet. I mean, I've been drawing what my tea looks like after breakfast like we're supposed to, but I figured I'd just, y'know, look through the book for all the stuff that can happen to you and write out whatever it says for those kind of shapes. Except mine just mostly look like a lump of leaves all bunched together. Did you get anything good?

[alt_zacharias]

Bones has a reason to support them, doesn't she? It's understandable. But if her dad got hired away (not likely, but you know, it's possible), then she'd give over to whatever side he started working for. At least, I think so. I didn't think anyone would like the Cannons without a dead good reason. That's just how people are, innit?

I've been looking through the book, yeah. I dunno if Professor Carpenter reads these, though, so if I were you I wouldn't say too much here. But yeah, I've just had a cuppa and I'm pretty sure I had a linden leaf. That's a protection, I think. Protection from evil? Attack? I dunno, I'd have to look it up.
