[Warded to Faye]

Hey, now that I'm less pissed about our crushing defeat because I'm slightly intoxicated, because Quinn is a good friend and I feel like I don't appreciate her as much as I should, I thought somebody should tell you that you played the best today and we kinda failed you, but you brought your A game.

[Warded to Sy]

Last year we ran a bunch of drills and talked strategy after a crushing loss. What are we doing this time, boss?

[warded to Susana]

So, I'm a little drunk so don't get used to this, but I'm sorry I was too busy guarding Sy to make sure you didn't get hit with that bludger. It was a hell of a first match for you, but if anything, it made it painfully clear that you're the best keeper we have, so officially welcome to the team. Sorry about the head.

And don't let us needing you go to your head. Take the compliment in stride. Sorry about the head.

[Warded to Reid]

How you doing?

[Warded to Aiden]

You survived your first game. It was kind of a shit show. But I figured somebody should congratulate you on surviving it.

It's okay. I should have been paying more attention myself. I also should have taken the hit better, which I'm seriously going to start working on in practice.

Nothing goes to my head except bludgers. Don't worry.

we were more focused on training you to dodge bludgers, not take them. Besides, we don't target keepers. It goes against quidditch eitquette, like an unspoken rule. So it was really Sy's fault for getting in your line.

[...]

Don't tell Sy I made that joke. He probably already feels like shit. We'll teach you to dodge better but it's not gonna happen again. I'll make sure of it.

Gonna talk strategy and run a bunch of drills. Just need a fuckin moment, Park.

Hey no rush, man.

We had a fucking shit show of a first game which is why I wanted to check in with you and make sure you didn't break your hand on a tree or some freshman's face because we love you man and even though we give you shit pretty much every time we speak to you, we got your back because we're a team and we love you.

Better than the rest of you. I guess.

Still kind of... Unhappy.

Nah I feel great now.

I just wanted to make sure you're not beating yourself up while Sy's out there beating up trees

It was your first game in a new position. My first game as beater - you probably remember, I broke my arm because I used it to block a bludger instead of the damn bat. But we don't talk about that. Except for just now but usually we don't talk about that incident. It was a painful incident. I didn't live that one down until i broke Levi's nose last year.

Anyway. I love you buddy.

[...]

No, I'm only thinking. Seeker's all I know how to do. And that was bad too, but you guys were always good enough you never needed me. Now you do and I'm frustrated.

I don't know.

I [...] love you too? You're a good friend. Are you okay?

[...]

Chris, are you fuckin high?

Aw thanks man, You're a good friend too. And you're good at this game. You're the best flyer we have and that's literally the only thing we can't teach and you got it. The rest will take some training but even Sy had to have expected that.

I'm wonderful. Why are you asking?

Don't be ridiculous Sy. That's illegal.

I'm drunk.

Day drinking drunk. Possibly the greatest decision I've made in my entire life. I should do this more often. It don't even give a shit about Levi falling in love with a literal marshmallow. Or our crushing defeat. All I care about is how great I feel and my love for you. Which is not as great as I feel but it's pretty potent.

No homo.

She'd've been a better friend if I was slightly intoxicated too but goddamn it I love seeing you drunk Smiley.

Yeah. I didn't do that either, though.

It wasn't his fault. I should've been watching too. But I know you're joking. I won't tell him, though. So long as you help me dodge AND it never happen again.

You're pretty fuckin homo, Chris. [...] Not that that's a problem.

Shit. Drinking over that total fuckin massacre I get, but you're not really falling to pieces over Kramer, are you?

Yeah you didn't. But it'll be alright. I'll have you dodging bludgers in your sleep. It'll be fine.

You're right, I should've invited you but we ran out of alcohol. So you're just gonna have to power through this sober. Actually you seem to be taking it better than the rest of us.

Yeah but for clarification there's no homo in my love for you because you're pretty not homo and that'd be weird.

I am the opposite of falling to pieces. Because I like to see my friends be happy. And he looks so painfully happy with Honeybee and we're really just friends. Are you happy? Is there anything you wanna talk about? I mean you basically lost your entire social life over a prank and I feel like you haven't gotten to talk that shit all the way through because we're assholes who don't care about your emotions because you're a bit of an asshole but that doesn't make it right.

I am completely invested in your emotions, Sy.

Thanks. I guess so. It wouldn't be worth anything without the team, though.

... You're drunk aren't you.

There's two reasons for that, little buddy. First is you ain't Sy or Reid, they're the ones I'm pissed at. Second is you wrote me first and disarmed me with the drunk shit, I was gonna say I wish he HAD been kicked off the team or expelled or excommunicated or whatever shit.

Oh. You speak words that make sense as words. I feel you.

I've also been told I'm a very disarming young man so this does not surprise me.

I like that you're not pissed at me though. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Yeah just a little bit, buddy. I think I just started a heart to heart with Sy I might regret in a few hours but it's okay. He deserves to know he's loved too. He seems like a dude that just really needs a hug sometimes, you know?

I'm still glad to have you on the team. You're like a voice of reason we really need.

You are when you're drunk, anyway.

And more likely that's the drink too.
