[earthenguard]

Well, that was very impressive. My congratulations to both teams, although I am doubtless a bit biased in saying that Hufflepuff played exceptionally well.

[There is a pause, and perhaps just the faintest note of humour.] Conlaed? I'm sure you are relieved I don't take an interest in gambling. One hundred galleons is a little steep for a friendly

I like Quidditch, but I don't think I could ever play it professionally. I'm not sure what I want to focus on, to be honest.

[earthenguard]

Ah, yes. My great uncle, Philemon, was a professional Quidditch player, but I've always rather preferred watching to flying.

I doubt you need to rush yourself, though. I'm... afraid I'm not familiar with your name though. If you wouldn't mind obliging me with the information?

[driftingtides]

Oh I love flying! I'm getting better at it. I might try out for the quidditch team next year for fun, but I think that in the long run I'll be doing something else.

Oops! I'm sorry. I'm Kairi Sable, a fifth year in Gryffindor.

[earthenguard]

No need to apologise, Kairi, this is the sort of thing I should know already, ideally. I'm Demetrius Perrin, Chairman of the Board.

But, yes-- back to Quidditch. I think it is an excellent sport, but something you need to be rather set on if you want to make a career out of it. Are there any other areas you might be interested in?

[loveandcurses]

Why so curious all of a sudden, if you don't mind my asking?

[earthenguard]

Unfortunately it is as much a desire to avoid reviewing recommended revisions to the Import Standards for Wheezing Trufflehunters as much as it is the desire to familiarise myself further with the students of Hogwarts. I've been here a few weeks now, and it seems a shame to be the Chairman of the Board and yet be relatively lacking in knowledge of our current students.

[loveandcurses]

Ah, I see. Getting to know everyone better seems like a very good endeavor.

What about you? What made you get into ...reviewing Import Standards for Wheezing Trufflehunters?

[earthenguard]

I rather thought so. And on that note, I'll start the introductions. Demetrius Perrin, very nice to meet you.

Well, it's a long story involving enjoying Care of Magical Creatures and ending with becoming head of the Office of Import and Export Standards and Regulations, which is rather a mouthful and involves lots of paperwork.

Ed wants to be a cowboy!

[Bet you wish you were back with your paperwork now, huh, Dem?]

XD

[earthenguard]

Really? That is... likely the first time I have heard that. Being a cowboy is a... muggle form of exployment, yes? I'm not familiar with the specifics, I'm afraid.

\o/

[radicalmagical]

Hee~ Cowboys ride in the wiiilllld west! Huntin' bad guys, ridin' horses and workin' with animals, pardner! Ed's gonna be an awesome cowboy! :D

[earthenguard]

Very impressive. I wish you the very best with it, Ed.

[rasenganparty]

I'm gonna be the next Minister of Magic!

[earthenguard]

Really? I will look forward to working with you, then. Might I ask your name, Future Minister?

[rasenganparty]

Heh, Konohamaru Sarutobi -- and don't you forget it!

[earthenguard]

Thank you. I'll make sure to remember.

[abovetwinsuns]

...I plan on joining the Aurors after being Knighted.

[earthenguard]

Oh, wonderful. Knighted with the... Jedi Order, is that correct?

I assume you're taking all the core recommended courses for Aurors? Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration?
