004! [August 16, 2022!] slow it down, save it for the morning!

If Amity hadn't invited me to join in the fun, it might have been a very dull weekend. Oh, the Quidditch seats Kitty got for us were all right, I suppose, but once Fernandez and O'Carroll started BICKERING and ruining all the lovely bludger action (the only part of Quidditch worth watching in the FIRST place) and Edward started to give my section

How could you find the Quidditch match dull?

[malcontented]

Not enough bloodshed!!

[buttonholed]

You people are strange.

[malcontented]

Why, what other reason is there to watch Quidditch?

[with_bite]

The skill involved, Carmichael? You don't need skill to knock someone's brains out.

[malcontented]

Yes you do. Did you SEE the way that Argentinian Beater nearly knocked out TWO of the Irish with one Bludger? That takes skill!

[with_bite]

I've never liked Argentinians. If you say so.

[buttonholed]

The game.

[malcontented]

Creaothceann was much better.

[buttonholed]

What?

[malcontented]

The game my fun-loving Scottish ancestors played in the Middle Ages, of course! MY WORD, I thought you were supposed to be an EXPERT in sports. That is what happens when you're only a Muggleborn, I suppose!! Can't hold it against you.

[buttonholed]

This is the first I've heard of it. And no, I'm not. I'm just particularly good at Quidditch.

[malcontented]

It must have been awfully exciting to watch! You attach a cauldron to your head and the referees drop rocks and you have to catch them. The best game EVER had fifteen fatalities. FIFTEEN!!! They just don't play ball games like those anymore. SIGH.

Well. We all have to be good at SOMETHING, don't we!

[buttonholed]

That doesn't sound like anything I'd be interested in, given that I'm not thrilled by the idea of watching some one die.

And what are you good at?

[malcontented]

Oh, Daisy. Your soft heart will take you FAR in life. I can tell.

Arithmancy!   Since you asked, I can't very well be modest -- absolutely nothing! You won't find anyone who can do nothing better than I can. AND look this good while doing it.

[buttonholed]

I don't have a soft heart. And fucking stop calling me that.

You don't look good.
