Quidditch!

[alt_susan]

Getting ready to head out to the pitch for some pick-up Quidditch. It's going to be wizard!

Cedric, thanks for helping organise this, especially since I know you're super busy right now.

See you there, everybody who's coming out!

It looks like Victor will be the referee. I'm just glad we get to see him fly!

[alt_pansy]

I don't suppose it'd be frightfully fair of him if he played in the match, would it?

[alt_susan]

That was clever of him--that way he gets to come out and join the fun, and no one feels uncomfortable.

It's good to see you feeling better, by the way.

[alt_pansy]

Who'd have known that Victor Krum was part Hufflepuff?

And yes. I am feeling a good deal better today. I wish I hadn't taken a turn in front of everybody, though. It was a bit embarrassing.

[alt_susan]

And maybe a bit Slytherin too!

Well, good!

Don't feel bad about that--we've all done it sometime. And stomach things are the worst, aren't they?

[alt_pansy]

You can say that again.

[alt_susan]

Yeah, I feel rather bad for Madame Pomfrey sometimes--she's awfully nice, but no one ever wants to come and see her!

[alt_pansy]

Ooh, Harry's such a funny Keeper! It's like he keeps looking for the snitch, or at least something that is snitch-sized, and so whenever a quaffle comes his way, he looks so surprised.

[alt_susan]

He is!

I can't wait to get out there myself--it feels like it's been forever since I've played.

[alt_pansy]

Next time we have a get-together at Ron's house for a pick-up match, you've absolutely got to come. I'll make sure you know about it.

[alt_susan]

Thanks! I'd like that.

[alt_padma]

Listen, it's too cold to stay out here, especially if one's not flying (and I don't know how you lot are all managing with all that wind!).

We're heading in - but we'll organise tea and the best hot chocolate the elves can do and some biscuits for when you all get frozen and come back in.

[alt_pansy]

That sound marvelous, Padma.

[alt_sally_anne]

Thanks so much for arranging the hot chocolate! It was perfect after being out in that wind all afternoon.

[alt_susan]

Yeah, thanks all 'round!

I think I'm going to practise my warming charms while flying--it's dead hard to keep them up!

[alt_sally_anne]

That was brilliant fun.

If I ever go out for the Slytherin team it won't be for Beater, though!

[alt_susan]

See, I rather like Beating--it's a good way to get some fierceness out.

[alt_sally_anne]

Well, the theory sounds good. Actually having to put myself in the way of a Bludger turned out to be rather different!

[alt_susan]

There is that! And some of those 5th years bat hard--can you believe Johnson doesn't even play Beater?

I sure wouldn't want to get on her bad side!

But I still think it's fun.

[alt_sally_anne]

Too right about Johnson!
