I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good Private Message to Sally Anne

[alt_ron]

You tried out for the Slytherin side today?

Why didn't you say?

How did it turn out?

I decided to do it at kind of the last minute. And I didn't want anyone to feel like they HAD to come, especially since I was afraid I wouldn't do very well.

Anyway I didn't do terribly but I don't think I'm going to get on the team because some of the others that came out were better than I was. Although, the person who was best at flying couldn't throw the quaffle very far, and the person who was best at throwing and catching wasn't actually very good at paying attention to what the rest of the team was doing... I don't think I was the best overall, though, by any measure. But at least I didn't feel like I'd made an utter fool of myself.

[alt_ron]

Well, I could have told you you'd be better than decent! But, yeah. I know why you wouldn't want to say much ahead, either.

When will Marvolo let you know? Did he say?

[alt_sally_anne]

He seemed to think he'd decide by tomorrow but given that they made him Quidditch captain on, oh, Thursday? I'm not going to hold my breath.

All the benchings are going to make for an interesting couple of matches, anyway.

[alt_ron]

Yeah. Did he seem to know what he was about? Marvolo, I mean. As captain? I mean it was awfully sudden.

Be interesting to see how he'll be setting practices and all.

I mean I guess he's been all right leading YPL exercises, yeah? Better than Li this afternoon! I mean what was she thinking?

And, say, Umbritch had your socks on again, didn't she? Did you see her?

What are you up to tonight, then? Want to play something? Doesn't have to be chess. Or, well, I wouldn't mind going over Dolohov's assignment, either.

[alt_sally_anne]

He either knew what he was about or did a fine job faking it. Which is pretty much just as good.

Li's usually thinking 'what will Patil think of this? how can I best kiss her arse?' And yes, Umbritch had my socks on again.

We could meet for chess and homework, sure.
