Wizardest Stuff Ever!
Whoa! These are dead awesome seats!! We're perfectly on level with the goal hoops.
And the seats are well comfortable, too.
But the best part is all this really nift stuff they're giving us: we've been trying everything out, and the omnioculars are amazing. Not the cheap kind that don't remember anything very long and break right away: you can look straight across to the other side and see the mole on some bloke's nose over there. We'll be able to see everything!
And there's a special screen up here to keep us from being blinded when the sun starts going down. They thought of everything, I think. There're even some totally snitch fruit chews I've never had before. Really nice touch, that.
Director Selwyn's daughter, Arista, seems to like the fans best. She was showing me how they work a minute ago--how they snap open and shut, and how you can use them to hide what you're saying if you want to tell a secret and don't want anyone else to read your lips.
Oh-
hang on!
They must be about to have the people in the top box come in. They told us we'll have to stand up, and, yeah-

So you'll need the knife.
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
I thought they were the starter.
Blast.
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
They had their own weird little fork, did you find that?
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
Only she saw me looking and made a face at me.
And, y'know. She's only like five years old, right? And she knows all the forks and what to do with them.
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
Anyway she's seven, I think. She's right about the same age as Gemma.
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
'Now children, everyone have a seat. We're going to learn about the proper use and placement of fish forks today. No, no, Trudy. What have we told you about putting your silver back on the table?' Ugh.
Mind you, if we ever got caught with our elbows on the table, we got shouted at, but at least we didn't have to learn when you hold your pinky up and whatnot.
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
Mrs Stretton ignores Gemma and Philip most of the time and then periodically jumps down their throats because they did something like ate peas with their fingers or used their fork to draw pictures in their mashed potatoes. And blames Maureen for not teaching them properly.
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
And it's not like Maureen can really tell them what to do, is it? Do they listen to her? Or do they know she can't really do anything if they're rotten?
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
She is supposed to be able to tell them what to do (because Mrs Stretton wants her to mind the children, and Mrs Stretton gets to tell Maureen what to do) but it doesn't always work out that way.

Nice way to rub it in.
I've only got the easy one right.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
How's it up there in the top box?
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
Harry's here, he and Draco have pretty much not stopped talking about quidditch this whole time.
Pansy's here but she's talking to Mr Malfoy so she can't write in her journal.
Professor Lestrange and Professor Sinistra are here together.
Hydra's here. Her dinner's different from mine, she got no meat and it's mostly been things like white rice. She's picking at it anyway and her father's trying to get her to eat more.
Justin Finch-Fletchley is here with a bunch of French people and they're all talking in French.
The Lord Protector's here but I'm not looking at him, so I can't tell you what he's doing.
Hermione was back a little while ago and gave me more butterbeer. I think there's an area for servants that's right behind or right under the Protector's box, because on her last trip Draco was out and she went to get more, and she was back really quickly.
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
That must be odd.
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
Hermione's serving me, Harry, Draco, Justin, Pansy, and Hydra.
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
What's next, d'you think?
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
Mr Crouch came in ages ago with an elf. He had two seats reserved, and he had the elf sit in one of them. He sat down for a few minutes and then got up and left, with the elf still sitting there. His dinner's by his seat getting cold. The elf didn't get dinner, but she's been sitting there this whole time, taking up a seat.
She looks MISERABLE. Every time Hermione passes the elf looks at her like she wants to knock her down and snatch the tray out of her hands and start serving food. It's a shame they can't trade places because I imagine Hermione would really like to sit down for a bit right now.
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
The Mr Crouch who came in with the elf is his father. I didn't recognise him but someone introduced him to Justin.
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
What'd he bring an elf for, d'you suppose? If not to serve, I mean.
That is really odd. I can see where she's sitting there all by herself. Doesn't look like the people behind her are very happy about it, either.
These omnioculars are dead amazing, y'know.

Besides, you don't have the proper spoon for spitting out cheese.
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
I can see you, but you're pointing totally the wrong direction.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
You got some of that cherry sauce on your face.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
I hear music, do you suppose they're going to do something on the field, finally?
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
Did I get it off?
