A quidditch related dilemma, a note about Defence lessons, and a caution on chocolates

[pure_nobility]

The 'friendly-feud' between Daphne Greengrass and Tracey Davis progressed from minor annoyance, surpassing headache-inducing irritation and evnetually culminated in the other players threatening to go on strike unless something is done. I was grappling with the horns of this dilemma when a windfall came along and solved the problem for me. During

That would be why Davis has been wailing to me for hours about "how Malfoy's only loyal to the good of the team when it serves him!!". I'm confident your version of the events is more accurate than hers, definitely.

What's she talking about? Now I just saw Daphne crying in the common room about Tracey leaving the team. What on earth... ?

I wasn't really listening (not to mention she was in hysterics), but I could make out that she'd been helping Greengrass in her own time. Apparently they hadn't told you for some reason. And now the team is doomed forever! According to her.

Knowing Davis, this help probably amounted to doing tarot readings about upcoming matches in the common room.

Helping? Tarot readings? This is all news to me. It's very confusing when two people seem to be best mates off the pitch and worst enemies on it. Besides, I didn't toss Tracey out of the game--her parents did.

I am confident, however, that Blaise will create far fewer waves. He has that... history with Daphne, but nothing ever seems to cause him to lose his temper. Have you ever noticed that?

I hope you're not asking me. I've never understood females, and definitely have never understood Davis or Greengrass. I was slightly taken aback when Davis grabbed my arm, sniffling. I thought we had a silent agreement to ignore each other, but it seems I thought wrong.

About Zabini, yes, I'm aware of it. He's the epitome of the chess master.

No, I was being mostly rhetorical. I hope Davis will get herself under control quickly, however, as I don't think Professor Snape would appreciate her crying and sniffling all throughout the dungeons.

Yes, and you're quite restrained yourself, I've noticed. I can't say that I see the point in practising restraint at all hours of the day, but it certainly has it's place on the pitch, during lessons, and so forth.
