Picture if you will the following scenario.
1) Quentin Oakby, perhaps finally getting into his head that Katie Bell will not have anything to do with him, accosts Tracey Davis and Daphne Greengrass in the hallway.
2) Davis laughs in his face and Greengrass give him the classic princess-to-peon look after about two minutes.
3) Not deterred, Oakby continues the onslaught and ups the ante by feeding Greengrass a sleazy pick-up line.
4) Blaise Zabini happens to come down the hallway just in time to HEAR said sleazy pick-up line. Zabini is slightly less than amused.
5) The resulting bedlam results in two students in the hospital wing and several more in detention. According to various unfortunate Prefects who had to break up the melee, Oakby's parting words, as he was hefted off to the infirmary with warts all over his face and a fishtail instead of legs, were "You all will get it when Gryffindor wins the game!"
The altercation didn't even have any bloody thing to do with the bloody Quidditch!
One more week, and perhaps the madness will be at an end. And there won't be any more of this crap next year, thank Salazar.
I hope the Gryffindors know to expect something from Malfoy at the game. Having Weasley the younger playing Quidditch would be all too dear of a chance for him to pass up and NOT do anything.
Happy birthday. I've Quidditch and an Herbology essay, but I'll drop off
your present sometime.
Lay off whatever you're plotting, though. I am fairly sure it was you who sent that letter pretending to be Alicia Spinnet. No one else would think to do such a thing.
