Wood's going to Puddlemere!

And Rory Cumberland's going to the Falcons--amazing! I've never heard of a deal like that. Not for a recruit. Go, Oliver!

I mean, that's totally too snitch for snidgets!

That's just the thing - not to say that Wood and Cumberland aren't good, but the scouts used to be able to pull talent from the continent, or even from places like South America. So they have a lot less to choose from, basically. Imagine not just having the Wasps and Puddlemere fighting over you, but teams in Germany and Spain, too.

That'd be snitch, I guess. But I don't know. You'd have to speak German or Spanish, I guess.

And I guess I can't really imagine living anyplace else. Another country, I mean.

I think it's sort of good that people don't move so far away from their families now. I mean, I guess Charlie's about as far from home as you can get now, and it seems pretty far, but I wouldn't want him to live in China or Romania or Norway or someplace like that. Like dragon handlers used to do. We'd never see him then.
