Well done? How can you say 'Well done' when they lost?

[alt_lavender]

Well, I heard Towler say after the match that we were so far ahead on points, we would have won if Marvolo hadn't caught the Snitch.

And Marvolo mightn't have caught the Snitch if his broom hadn't given him an unfair advantage--at least that's what Towler said.

[alt_sally_anne]

There's nothing unfair about him having a good broom.

Gryffindor really played quite well. They made it a really close match, even though Slytherin House has the best Seeker in the history of the school!

[alt_lavender]

Cheers, Perks! Thanks for not rubbing it in like some people.

[alt_lavender]

And I didn't mean Marvolo, I meant you, Smith!

[alt_zacharias]

Wot?

I wasn't rubbing anything anywhere, Brown. It's Weasley said your lot did well when they really weren't so nift themselves. Marvolo caught the Snitch because his broom is brilliant AND because he's a dead wicked Seeker. But he wouldn't have won it for Gryffindor if ALL your Chasers had been up to the task.

[alt_lavender]

Marvolo's an ace seeker, sure, but we have lots of wiz-nift players!

Look at Wood--Robins said Madame Hooch told him he was scouted during the match by professional Quidditch scouts!

[alt_zacharias]

Yeah, but Wood's not your Chaser, is he!

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_sally_anne]

I'm almost glad I didn't live with the Woods last summer, think how cross everyone in my House would be that I helped Oliver train!

He was brilliant. I heard a rumour there were scouts for quidditch teams in the stands tonight and I hope they were true, he well deserves it.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_ron]

Yeah, he was brilliant. And he didn't need an extrawizard broom to do it, either.

I mean, I'm not saying Marvolo didn't fly well or that he didn't spot the Snitch out of blue nowhere, but if you've got a better broom than anyone else in the skies, you can't exactly take credit for going faster and flasher than everyone else. Wood, though. That was all him.

And I bet those teams that had scouts here fight over him to see who can sign him first.

[alt_harry]

Oi!!! What's unfair about my broom?!

[alt_lavender]

Well, Towler and Wood seems to think it was professional quality--loads better that what anyone else has!

[alt_harry]

But its just as unfair if people have an old Comet as opposed to a Cleansweep 7 or something.

[alt_lavender]

Well, maybe if it had been just the broom, but what about that darkness powder?!

How is that even allowed in Quidditch?

[alt_harry]

Well I didnt ask him to do that. Anyway it wasn't like BLATCHING.

[alt_lavender]

Who was blatching?!

[alt_harry]

NOBODY was blatching, Im just saying it's not as bad as blatching.

[alt_lavender]

But it's still sort of bad, right?

[alt_harry]

Not THAT bad. anyway it was on the Gryffindor side too.

[alt_zacharias]

Towler? He barely touched the Quaffle the whole match! If it weren't for Bell and Johnson, Gryffindor would have spent all its time watching Slytherin pass it back and forth. (Mind you, Wood did brilliantly but he's not got a load of support from the others.)

You lot need a real Seeker, not that Coote bloke. He wouldn't know a Snitch if it fluttered its wings in his face! Wood's lucky you lot didn't lose by twice the points.

[alt_lavender]

You can't blame Coote for getting darkness powder splashed in his face!

Wood was dead cross about it too.
