Oliver and I got home a little while ago from the Weasley house and it was wizard, thank you Ron for inviting us and thank you Mr and Mrs Weasley for letting him have so many friends come.

We played quidditch and it was actually really fun, they had me seek so I didn't have to worry about trying to catch the quaffle on a broomstick and during the first game I caught the snitch and my side won! During the second game we never found it and finally we gave up, though Oliver and Fred and George stayed out on their brooms until Mrs Weasley sent Percy out to bring them in, I think they'd have kept on pretending they couldn't hear her otherwise.

And Ron showed us the ghoul in the attic and Ginny showed me the beehives. And it turns out that Mr Weasley likes to tinker with things just like my and put charms on things to make them work better, or at least differently.

It was fun, wasn't it? Even I had a good time, and I never thought having a good time could ever go together with being on a broom for me! Still, I was glad that what's-her-name (Luna?), Ginny's friend showed up to take over playing Chaser for me for the second game.

That was a great dive you did when you caught the snitch! I suppose there's not much chance you'd ever get to play Seeker for Slytherin, since Harry Marvolo's doing it, but do you think you might ever try out to be a chaser?

[alt_percy]

It really was quite a good dive, Perks. I was impressed.

(But Neville, you don't want to offer advice to students from other Houses that might improve their Quidditch teams TOO much--surely you still want Gryffindor to win, don't you?)

[alt_neville]

Oh, of course, but if Sally-Anne makes the Slytherin team, it'll keep our Gryffindor players on their toes!

[alt_seamus]

Are you really that worried Percy? About Perks I mean. Though that was a nift dive.

[alt_percy]

Oh, no, my comment was meant more in the nature of...teasing. I know it will come as a surprise to some, but I actually do have a sense of humour.

It's just not quite as noticeable, in comparison to, say, the twins.

[alt_seamus]

Too right!

[alt_gredforge]

Most people's sense of humour is less noticeable in comparison to us.

Don't use it as an excuse.

[alt_ron]

Too right, she should!

D'you know how much better you've got at flying already? I mean, for your first year flying ever, you're doing great. More than great, really. And it's only been, what, a fortnight you've been at Wood's?

[alt_ron]

Err. I mean Sally Anne, Nev. You're better, too. And maybe if it was you that's staying with Wood, you'd be ready to try out for the team as well.

[alt_neville]

I dunno that Wood's that much of a miracle worker!

[alt_sally_anne]

Was it really that good? I didn't really think about what I was doing, I got all excited and didn't think about how much it would hurt to hit the ground if I fell off.

I can't imagine getting good enough to try out for a team though, everyone else in my house has been riding a broom since they were old enough to walk.

[alt_neville]

Well, I thought it was wizard, but you have to remember that everyone's an outstanding flyer, compared to me! So maybe my judgement's not the best.

[alt_seamus]

It really was a good dive. I was a little surprised when you didn't hit the ground and break your arm. I expect Mrs Weasley could have healed you up though. Almost everyone breaks something playing quidditch sooner or later but isn't that why healing spells were invented?

[alt_pansy]

It was loads better than you were doing even when you passed flying.

[alt_ron]

Of course it was good! You looked like you'd been flying forever. And you won! That's the best kind of dive when you're playing Seeker!!!!
