I'm STARTING to think the Wiz Lit freshmen didn't read their book?? And just made up their own??? I don't remember so much FIRE and people with the same name as their CLASSMATES in the original.

OK!! So we're going to Hogwarts VERY SOON, and if anyone wants to try anything VERY SPECIFIC, now is the time to bring it up. Let's make this season go out with a BANG that we can ALL be happy about.

NOW, we have to play KIND OF differently this game than we're used to, which MIGHT put us at a disadvantage if we're not prepared. Hogwarts plays a LOT more Quidditch than Ilvermorny, and if we play using INTERNATIONAL rules, then there's WAY more focus on the Seeker than in our games.

TUESDAY and GWEN, you guys have been working REALLY hard. How are you feeling about FEINTS?

BEATERS, this DOES mean going after the Seeker early on has strong strategy behind it. I don't want us getting SO focused on the Seeker that we get into trouble if we have to switch focus to the CHASERS, though. IDEALLY, we won't get into ANY trouble on the Chaser side and won't need ANY help, but I also know we got a FEW injuries everywhere last game so I'm not counting anything out.

And I hope everyone's drinking enough WATER or I'll get CLEM to WATCH you and she has a REALLY LOUD whistle.

HEY.

Can you blow your WHISTLE if someone on the school team is drinking NOT-WATER??

The freshmen get to take creative writing now? Jealous.

HONESTLY?? I'm PROBABLY gonna give them extra credit for it too if they can explain their THEMES and three pieces of SYMBOLISM.

You may have the makings of the first great large collaboration fantasy novel.

I'm ONLY here to ENCOURAGE my students reach their FULL POTENTIAL after all.

Oh captain, my captain.

I am like 90% water dude it's totes chill!!

Also?? I wanna ride a bludger.

Are you gonna sloosh RIGHT OFF the broom???

Wouldn't that be too SMALL?

Yeh!! Like a WATER BALLOON but GRACEFUL.

ummmmmmm IDK I'm pretty small too don't let your dreams stay dreams??

Don't POP when you hit the GRASS.

What would you HOLD ONTO???

I'll DO MY BEST!!

OH!! M A Y B E like?? A specialized BLUDGER-RIDIN' harness???

My mom used to tell me if I cracked my head open on the ground she'd make me clean it up and??? that sounded SUPER unappealing??? So I hope I don't have to clean up YOUR brains either!!

You know?? This would PROBABLY be a pretty cool SENIOR PROJECT.

Fuck international rules. Why the hell do we even have fuckin Chasers if they're gonna weigh the Snitch so goddamn much.

[...] But yeah, that sounds solid. I'm down with working on dodging, but if we've gotta take those hits then we need to learn how to fuckin take them without wussing out.

The rules kind of COMPLETELY change the game?? Chasers are mostly there for things like CHAMPIONSHIP play when points carry over but when you're just going for one victory it seems like you just want the FASTEST Seeker and that's it??

OK COOL. We should PROBABLY wear helmets to help our fortitude at least a LITTLE.

oh my god you know it. keep those assholes in line

is it weird i'm nervous and i'm not even playing??

I'm GLAD you're coming to Hogwarts too. You can be MY goon but mostly you're just watching WATER intake.

UHH not SUPER weird or anything since it was your team LAST year but also I've been nervous for like WEEKS?? So maybe it's just spilling out to EVERYONE ELSE??

I can pretend to see ALL the Snitches.

How many times do you think we can pull a FAKE DIVE before they catch on and stop paying attention to you???

That probably depends on their beaters??? But I bet I'm Faster than them. I could try at LEAST two.

If they're not paying attention the SECOND time then what if you DOUBLE FEINT and pretend you pulled out of your dive because you TOTALLY saw the real Snitch

If they didn't Splatter me, I'd create some kind of RECORD???
