That was fun!

Well, I survived my first match, and didn't fall off my broom or any of the other things I was worried about. And I had an assist on the winning goal!!

There were a couple of close moments though! Thanks Cadwallader for giving me a hand--not just when my broom slipped, but in general as one of the new ones.

Well played everyone, including Chang and the Ravenclaws. I was just trying to keep my eyes on the Quaffle and didn't see much, but it sounded like there was some pretty snitch Seeking going on!

But I certainly heard about the, er, celebrating afterward...Jordan made sure of that!

The Hufflepuff celebration (not that kind, as far as I know!) is still going on in the Common Room.

In fact, Megs just poked me in the ribs to tell me she and El saved me some biscuits and pumpkin juice, so I'm going to go eat now!

Congratulations, Bones! To you and all your team.

Thanks, Longbottom!

Were you up in the stands? I thought I saw you, but I wasn't sure.

[alt_neville]

Of course I was! I try to never miss a Quidditch game. And I was glad to see this one, since it was your first.

[alt_susan]

Well, I'm glad you were there!

I didn't want to assume, since Gryffindor wasn't playing.

Sue,

I say, that was smashing for a first match, what?

Well done.

Have you seen Diggory or Smith? Smith was here a while ago but he seems to have gone out.

I know! Go Hufflepuff!

And thanks.

You know, I haven't seen Zach in awhile. Where could he have got off to? He should be down here celebrating!

Ced, though, I can understand. He's in a mood for a variety of reasons that you can probably imagine.

Is he still upset about Chang? I thought he was well over that. Goodness.

Is that why his flying seemed a bit strange? Someone said he's normally a much smoother hand with a broom but of course, I've no idea, what?

I didn't actually see much of him during the match--I was mostly trying to keep from embarrassing myself--but his broom handling did seem a little odd.

He just got a new broom and maybe that was throwing him off?

He's awfully hard on himself about his flying, much more so than with any of us.

Re: Private Message to Sue

[alt_justin]

Oh, yes, I see. Well, it's not surprising, what, as Smith and Stebbins say he aspires to play professionally.

You weren't embarrassing at all, Sue. It was quite an enjoyable match; just a long one!

Thanks!

I'm glad we did all those endurance drills, by the end I was ready for someone to catch the Snitch already!

Though I'm sure that epic snog between Davies and Chang didn't help Ced's mood. Classy, that. But Jordan taking the piss was pretty funny.
