It is on.

Several more days until school begins again and not much longer than that before the Quidditch season commences. I could use the distraction. Edward, you had better be on your game this year, because I'm not going to let anyone coast along. For those of you interested, you will be earning your place on this team. We're going to win this

You can't wait a few days?

[buttonholed]

No.

[celkin]

Most people don't read these.

[buttonholed]

I'll owl them.

Have I ever let you down, oh captain my captain? And we ought to use Daddy's estate for practice -- it's not like a few sheep spotting us will be taken as a breach of the International Statute of Secrecy, I would think!

[buttonholed]

Very well. Though I thought you said there was the issue of Muggle witnesses.

[rathereffable]

They've gone fishing.

[buttonholed]

Excellent.

[lowexpectation]

Gryffindor isn't going to let you win again.

[buttonholed]

They won't have to.

[lowexpectation]

You're being unrealistically confident.

[buttonholed]

My confidence has a foundation.

[prefers_jam]

That is the most orderly and accurate way to go about it, but it does seem like a lot of unnecessary bother for what is an essentially unimportant thing.

[buttonholed]

It's not a bother. I want to set the record straight.

[prefers_jam]

I do not understand why everyone cares so much.

[buttonholed]

Just fill out the list.

[playingcupid]

No. Stop trying to undermine my list. You will not become more dateable.

[buttonholed]

That's not my aim.
