Chapter Thirty
Grawp -
This’ll be fun! Who doesn’t like Grawp?
(Am still behind a good five chapters. I’ll post them sooner or later, unless Mirabella/y’all would rather we keep moving in a more linear fashion?)

Heh. Perhaps they found out what happened to the last? 'So...the Beaters, our Seeker and the (?) Keeper have all been beaten up/hexed by the other team? Last time on the field? And if we win and get more points than them, they'll shove us into toilets? You know, come to think of it, I think I've got too much homework at the moment!'
I miss Flint. He was funny, at least.
If Malfoy never catches the Snitch wouldn't the Slyths have replaced him?
Yeah, I've never gotten this 'OMG, they HAVE to have him on the team' - for starters, those brooms are probably fairly out of date three years on.
Also, if Slytherin is the pureblood house and all the purebloods are so rich; why can't they just buy more, better brooms? (I guess maybe it's the fanon explanation, that Lucius/others won't until they back up the first investment and beat Gryffindor.)
(I'm dying for someone else to get a Firebolt. What will Harry do? Buy increasingly expensive ones himself? Whine about how unfair it is? Wait for Dumbledore/Remus/new person to buy a better one?)
And of course, what's stopping them keeping their Nimbus' and dumping Draco? I guess Lucius might get mad, but I don't know, I really don't see him being the type to go 'You hurt my ickle boy's feelings!' - there's no benefit for him. (Other than decreased whining.)
Why does one wear a stupid hat if not to be laughed at? That's one of those annoying!Luna moments for me.
Well, yeah. It seems like she does it specifically to gain attention - Ooh, look at me! I'm such an non-conformist rebel! (Kind of reminds me of 'Not Another Teen Movie';)
Still, at least she does just ignore them, rather than treating us to five pages of 'Luna wasn't used to a relentless campaign of insults, jeers and intimidation, ANGST WOE!!1111'
He's still able to appreciate her good hair.
The hair fixation just confirms doubts over Harry's sexuality. I've never met a straight bloke who could tell me whether I had hair or not without looking, let alone one who obsesses over it.
You know that Cho's just a big Barbie doll for him.
He does miss her telling him he's great. If she's going to pay attention to someone, it should be him.
Hee. If only they could reclaim the good old days, when the only thing out of her mouth was: 'Harry, you're so brave!'
Perhaps his jealousy is to do with liking Roger Davies.
Heh! Quidditch players are Harry's weakness.
At least be more sporting about it. Wait till the match is over and then beat Ron up.
It's the chivalrous thing to do!
(I've never really gotten why the Gryffindors would want to try for unity, which I guess is why they didn't. Maybe JKR will go into it in HBP. Cause the current system seems to be working out *great* for them!)
What's with Hagrid calling Grawp "Grawpy?" He's supposed to be an adult giant, and giants are violent and seem as proud as hippogriffs.
He does it out of love, not malicious intent! *crocodile tear slowly drips* Animals/creatures can sense that kind of thing, you know. (This is so wonderfully clarified in the PoA movie when Hagrid calls the hippogryff names.)
Hagrid's crying makes so much sense while Cho's is just too complicated for Harry to understand!
Heh. Yeah, Cho actually has something to grieve about, whereas Hagrid is just crying because he might lose his job. Again. Because he sucks is half-giant OMG!
I see now what's more sympathetic.
They're just faster and better even at making up lyrics and singing together than the Slytherins. They've won the song cup as well.
Gryffindors - is there anything they can't do? *cheesy grin*
Hee! I'm now going to be on tenterhooks in the next book for Dumbledore to just completely invent a new competition, rather than just fix all the old ones - 'You win the passing a watering can cup!'

It's a shame. Wouldn't it have been interesting if Ron were better at something and Harry had to learn to deal with that (the prefect thing doesn't count, since it's soiled by not being cool enough in the eyes of the Order, and also the upcoming Speech of Doom)?
I'll never get why Ron didn't go into Slytherin, where at least he could come to terms in company of never being allowed to achieve/beat anything/one.

I think most of it is just due to the fact that Rowling seems absolutely clueless as to what tends to what, er, attractions young men find most irresistible about young women. (Guess her new husband was too much of a gentleman to englighten her!)
Here's a hint Jo... the prime ones are just a little to the south of the collarbone and to the north of the belly button!
