Aug. 15th, 2013 03:41 pmOof. Okay. Loads of stuff to tell you, and I'm so knackered I don't know if I'll remember it all. But at least I've got time to write. Um, I'm sat here in the middle of the forest being held prisoner by some bloke from MLE. Angus MacSomethingorother. Not a bad chap, but not much of a talker.
Anywiz, last night after the longest day ever, before we could go off to bed, Desai and Dolohov said Harry and I had to come talk to them and they said we each had to pick someone on our team to take over command for us. Well that was easy for me, at least. Obviously, I picked Malfoy, and then they made me give all my reasons. Also dead easy: I picked him because he's a natural leader. He pretty much expects people to do what he says, and they do. I think he was probably giving orders to people as soon as he could talk. (I didn't actually say that last bit.) I told them he was my choice because I chose the rest of my team specifically to work well alongside both me and him. I mean, I'd already sort of factored in that if anything happened to me, the others would follow Malfoy and stick together as a team.
Anywiz, today when it was time to form up for the afternoon session, which they'd told us would be a search and rescue thing, Harry and I got called out again, and they told us that we're the ones our teams have to search for and rescue.
So this nice MLE bloke's here to fight off anyone who finds me and make it difficult for them to rescue me. Mind you, he's also supposed to protect me if anyone on the other side tries to come snuff me before my side can get here.
So all I have to do is sit around all afternoon and wait to see what my mates can manage.
At least we got rid of Thomas. I didn't even have to think about it when they said I needed to pick somebody to give the other side so they'd have the extra wand for a while.
You know, he wasn't bad at first, and he even helped us win one of the exercises, but yesterday he made a complete arse of himself. Didn't like anybody else's ideas and was especially rude to Bones. So much so she finally got really fed up and told him off. And, really, Sue's ideas were as good as anyone else's.
