Good show!
I think our side should be proud tonight, especially you, Thomas. I mean, yeah, Desai had a point about the risks of your going off alone, but I think we made a good case for it being worth a shot and your being especially well suited for slipping past the others right at the start when both sides were still trying to find each other and form up. It was a lark watching you take them out, too, once I was dead and back in the mess waiting to see how it was going to play out.
And Finnigan: you came through and made it worth sacrificing to get you sprung, so, yeah. Good show.
Bones: don't feel too bad about going down early. That happens. I mean, it could have been any of us getting surprised in the confusion at the start. They're right, of course, that we all need to be extra focused at the start of these things, but that's what we're here to learn, innit? And, anywiz, you were solid in the first exercise, right? It was Finnigan who went down to that first trap and Thomas, but they were in top form on the next outing. So tomorrow's your day, yeah?
The rest of you were solid. Malfoy, you especially. I think it was the right call we made at the end, don't you? And Patil: you've got eyes on all sides of your head, don't you? We were lucky to have you watching all angles.
So, yeah. Well done, mates.
Cheers.

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
Watch your back tomorrow, though!
Heh.
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
I say, jolly good. I did think you had your guard ready but--well, as you say. We're bound to hit one another now and then, what.
It seems as if Finnigan, Thomas and Zabini haven't been entirely intolerable for you. Is that so?
-F-F
Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good Private Message to Finch-Fletchley
Bit hilarious how my side ended up, yeah?
I was serious about taking Malfoy. I mean, letting Harry have him would just have been daft. So then the rest sort of fell in from there because I wanted people who would work well together, which meant people who would work well with him, yeah?
Obviously, I was trying to duck having either Thomas or Patil, but Harry outmanoeuvred me on that. I didn't figure he'd take Daphne when he did. Shame about that.
And I'm pretty sure Dolohov and Desai thought it was advantage to our team when we won the coin toss and got the extra man. But, yeah, Thomas pulled his weight this afternoon, so maybe they were right.
I expect they'll switch us around tomorrow, anywiz.
