The trip was a real disappointment for the Hufflepuff House. We didn't win the competition! I can't believe you, Zacharias and Wayne. You let a Gryffindor and a Ravenclaw beat you to the big points. Everyone knows I would have won if I'd have been assigned with a more competent partner than Draco Malfoy. But seeing as I wasn't, we were all forced to put our trust in you two. Well, I hope you are at least a bit ashamed now!
And don't blame it all on Justin, either. I knew he was never going to win, not even if he'd been paired with Harry Potter himself. A great bloke, that Justin, and a really brilliant cook, but he really doesn't know how to defend anyone against anything. He even lost his Natter! I think we'll never see that little monster again.
You have to win on Saturday, Zacharias, to regain the trust of your peers. Our team is better than Chang's, even when there's a horrible curse cast upon it. Hufflepuff is going to get the Cup this year!
