CHARLIE!

Can you believe this? We lost, Charlie. We bloody lost to bloody Hufflepuff. No offense to Hufflepuff of course, they’re very sweet people and I’ve got friends there but

*busy moulding what looks like a little ball of clay*
*looks up and grins resignedly at Ginny*

Well done on catching the Snitch.

[batbogey_hex]

*plops down next to him, looking more than a little tired*
*rubs half-heartedly at wind-burned cheeks and offers him a slight smile*

Thanks. Lot of good it did, though.

We've missed you, darling! *snuggles*

[greddy_freddy]

*smiles, kneading clay into a ball*

It was close, though. And you flew really well. *mutters* Better than the replacement Beaters.

Same here! *huggles you and Ginny*

[batbogey_hex]

*glances at the clay curiously*
*raises her brows questioningly at him*

*shrugs a bit, looking away*
I'm just the reserve Seeker. Can't be any better than the original team, yeah?

*sighs*
I'm sorry Umbridge got in the way. And that we lost.

Are you on MSN, by any chance?

[angelic_gryff]

well played Ginny.

*mutters darkly*
Not that it did any good. That Cow and her stupid bans.

*glances up*
Sorry. Not cranky at you.

*shrugs*
Just. You know

[batbogey_hex]

*smiles gratefully*
Thanks, Angelina. You were brilliant, too.

Wish there was more that could be done, though.

Since Edgar and Ginny are still getting to know each other, he wanted to drop by... Susan wanted to drop by, too, but, you know, she didn't want to rub it in about the match... ;-)

*nods somberly*
Well, Miss Weasley...
*sighs*
I heard you played valiantly.

[batbogey_hex]

*giggles* Susan is free to comment - Ginny's not really that upset with Hufflepuff winning. She's just angry at Umbridge for sabotaging the team. XD

*blinks and looks up, surprised*
Oh, Mr. Bones!

*smiles a bit*
Thank you, sir. Couldn't you come down to watch? Or from the windows? I promise you we didn't go down without a fight.

[brave_phoenix]

*pets Ginny* hee, Well, Susan might just stop by, too! Oh, and btw, just so you and Ginny know, Susan doesn't know Edgar is a ghost floating around Hogwarts... ;-)

*smiles*
Oh, I watched part of it...
*wryly*
Peeves was doing his best to be distracting...

*grins*
Of course, you didn't go down without a fight! You're all good Gryffindors! *fondly* Makes a former house member proud...

[batbogey_hex]

Ooh, does she not know? Why? If you don't mind my asking. :)

*snort of amusement*
Peeves is very good at distracting. Or driving one to insanity. Whichever comes first, I suppose.

*beams*
Glad to be of service, sir.

*curiously*
What did you think, though, Mr. Bones? Hufflepuff's got a great team - it was really close this time.
*sighs*
But I do wonder what would have happened if - *scowls a bit, speaking the name with obvious distaste* - Umbridge hadn't banned Harry and my brothers from the team.

*passing through the hallway*
Oh! *waves* Hi, Ginny!
*blushes slightly*
Erm, good catch in the game today...

[batbogey_hex]

*blinks, a little startled*
*smiles warmly, blushing a bit*

Thank you. And congratulations on winning the game; you've got an impressive team.

[just_loyal_true]

*smiles, shakes her head*
Oh, yeah, they're good...
*shrugs*
But it wasn't quite a fair fight...
*lowers her voice*
...with Umbridge's rules and all...

[batbogey_hex]

*looks a bit surprised by her reply*

*smiles, however*
It's alright. Bit of a test, then, wasn't it? See just how much we could do in a few weeks to put together a different team. Gryffindors do like challenges.

*nods slightly, carefully lowering her voice*
Those rules shouldn't be around for long, though. What with the Defense professer slot jinxed and all, she should be gone soon. Hopefully.

*resumes to her regular speaking voice, beaming a bit now*
Well fought, though. Excellent match.
