Quidditch Season

[alt_cedric]

Congratulations Harry on yet another amazing catch to squeak out a win for Slytherin.

My team, I'm proud of the hard work and dedication you all have shown this year. It's been a hard year with many unusual difficulties. You fought, you struggled and you persevered. I look forward to coming back to watch you all build on what we started this year.

Cheers all!

The ending of my quidditch season brings home just how close I am to being done here at Hogwarts. This has been my home for seven years. There are still three more months, but I'm already feeling nostalgic. The uncertainty of the future looms.

Private Message to Harry Marvolo

How's Goyle doing? I was sorry to hear he was benched for medical reasons.

Let's just say I'd feel better about it if Madame P was still here. We're keeping an eye on him just in case we need to take him to St Mungo's.

You did really well out there, from what I could see.

If you'd give us a bit more time the game would have been out of reach even with you catching the snitch, so yeah I feel pretty good about my performance yesterday.

I think we'd all feel better if Madame P were still the one watching out for us.

Yeah.

Private message to Cedric Diggory

Nicely played, yesterday - no matter the outcome. And good on you for being so gracious about it.

I forgot to ask Friday: how do you feel you're doing in preparing for exams? (From over here, it seems like we could use a bit more review on the mechanics of precession, but if there's anything else, better to tell me now than in late April.)

Thank you. It was a good game, but Harry is wizard, though if he'd given us a bit more time the outcome would have been different.

You know how hard I have to work at the calculations. All the memorization portions I'll do fine on. Fortunately for NEWTS and everything other than the final project I don't have to derive the formulas, I just have to apply them. It's still the hardest part for me, but I just have to work through it.

I'm more concerned about some other students' health and performance in class. Particularly at the OWL level in Defence.

I'll miss seeing you play here, truly.

As to your exam - I've practice questions to work through. And I am glad to give as much time as I'm allowed to helping anyone not only pass but do brilliantly on exams. It's just the matter of what I'm able to help with. You're right that you're getting there though, and a bit more practice will just make you feel more secure with it.

On the others. Well. I wish there were more I could do that were likely to make things easier rather than harder.

The side will miss you next year, that's for sure!

[alt_cedric]

We're done for the season but I'd like to have us get together a few of the times we have the pitch scheduled to help the rest of the side prep for next year.

Thank you. I'll miss you all as well.

[alt_susan]

Just let us know, and I'll be there.

Best of luck with, well, everything.

Not to sound soppy or anything, but I've learned a lot from you, y'know, especially this year.
