alt_ronSay. Just wanted to let you know we made it here, and everything's fine after the first day.
I won the first challenge, which was a broom race along a ley line--the line was off to our east a bit, but if you knew what you were about, you should have sensed it was there. Anywiz, I was able to key to it and use it for speed in and out of the turning. That made the difference.
And then, because I won that first race, I got made a team leader and had to pick my group. Harry's got the other team. You'll laugh, Gin. I picked Malfoy first, and then it all sort of fell in from there because I wanted people who would work well together or who'd follow without questioning. (Those aren't the same thing, mind you.) So then I ended up with Finnigan and Thomas and Patil. I mean, really? But it made sense at the time. I got Sue Bones, too. Oh, and Zabini. At least they're mostly excellent on brooms. All but Patil. And I took Zabini pretty early on because it looked as if I'd get stuck having Patil, so since they're together now (Yeah, finally. I mean, who couldn't see that coming?) I figured he'd keep her from being so impossible. And Malfoy's got both of them tow row rowing to impress him, so we should be well fixed. Of course, Finnigan and Bones are good on brooms and keen to do well.
Don't know how often I'll have time to write, but you can keep an eye on the clock, Mum, and know that I'm safe and sound, yeah?
