Just as I was finishing breakfast this morning, Cedric Diggory from Hufflepuff came over to the Slytherin table and asked me if third years were allowed in that game I was organising. I said sure, if they want, and he said what about fourth and fifth years and I said yes, anyone can play, they just need to let me know by Wednesday at breakfast so I can assign targets by Friday.

And he grinned and said I should put his name down. And then he glanced back over at his own table and gave them a thumbs-up.

So yeah, if anyone else is wondering, I was kind of assuming just firsties would want to play but anyone's welcome, just let me know I guess. If you're a big kid wanting to play you'll need to write down your name and house for me though, I know all the Slytherins and all the firsties but the rest kind of blur together still. I only knew Diggory because he's the Quidditch Seeker.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Alright I'm adding a rule: aside from the hex that turns people's ears blue you can ONLY use spells from the Standard Book of Spells, Grade 1 in the game. That still puts firsties at a disadvantage because we've only made it through the first half, but that should keep things a bit more even.

Cedric Diggory? Cedric DIGGORY?

Oh.

Well.

If older boys students are playing, then I guess I will. Which means Belinda will, to. And Linus already said he wants to, though I dont know if hes told you yet.

You spelt it right.

Oh - as I was writing the last comment, Anagha Goshal and Vespasian Peakes both asked if they could play. But that's probably because they only have theyre NEWT classes and theyre bored otherwise. And Xi Chang said he might be interested too.

Its up to you but I dunno about 7th-years in the game. Maybe we could handicap them somehow?

Well, I'll tell them no because it's too easy for them, shall I?

Maybe tell everyone they can only use spells from Standard Book of Spells, Grade 1?

That way everyone's playing at the same level, no matter what year they're in.

This is going to be so. freaking. wizard. You are brilliant! I don't know how long I'll last in the game, so once I'm out I'd be happy to help you out.

P.S. Did you see my origami critter last night? It was bathing itself! SO cute.

They just laughed at me when I tried to tell them they could only play if they didnt try to cast all sorts of difficult spells. I think they were having me on about playing in the first place. Xi Chang says he wasn't, tho, but I still think we might tell any older kids that they cant use spells we havent learned.

A game of AK sounds wizard. Count me in!

Diggory seems alright for a Hufflepuff, I reckon.

I just hope the older students don't take over AK like it was their idea or something.

Harry and I are playing. You think you're better than us, or something?

If you run out of spots someone can have mine. If you want. And if they want it.

I just had another idea - do you think we could practise on house elves? Or maybe the mudbloods? I want to make sure I know how to cast it but I dont want my ears to turn blue for no reason.

Oh, Sally-Anne, I forgot to tell you that I wanted to play, if you can fit someone else in at the last minute.
