Good Show

[alt_ron]

So that was good fun, yeah?

There were two groups that were really quick to sort the chess. Cheers, Paskle. Nice to meet you, mate. (Bundy says that's not how you spell your name. Sorry if it's not.) Would like to play you for reals sometime. Your approach was different from anyone else's, but definitely sound.

No surprise, really, but Towler's was the other top team. Did you hear what the Queen said about you, mate? Made me blush!

How'd it go at the other spots? I heard about one close call with the Whomping Willow. Hope no one got thrashed!
 
 
And tea was great. Glad I didn't miss the cinnamon biscuits.

Is it time for supper yet?

I don't know if it's out of bounds or whether no one goes that way because it just goes down to that little dock, and there aren't ever any boats there. But I think it might be a good place to go if you ever wanted to be let alone. Maybe Krum will figure that out!

Did I beat you? That wasn't very nice of me. No wonder you didn't want to play me again! I just remember you were sort of quiet, and I thought maybe you hadn't spent much time before with anyone you didn't already know well. I thought you were nice, though.

People will probably let him alone eventually, its only been a week after all. But you're right it would be a good place for solitude. Except now that we've written about it people might try to look for him there.

I wouldn't have minded playing again. It's fair if the best player wins.

That's what people usually remember about me, the quiet. And the niceness, only I didn't learn about that until recently.

Oh. Well we could play again sometime if you wanted. I bet there'll be loads of days when the weather's foul, and we'll want to do indoor things. I'm only good because I play a lot, and that's partly because we live in Scotland and most of the year is nasty!

I think quiet can be nice. I mean, I'm not really quiet myself, but I don't mind when other people are.

[alt_hydra]

Well, why not?

It's true about the weather, and so long as my homework is finished.

All right, then.


There are better things to be known for. But probably worse things, too

It's settled, then. Next rainy afternoon you have your homework finished, we'll play chess.
