Impressive Feats

[alt_daphne]

What excitement! It's just like something from a book of epic poetry - almost impossible to believe it's real and playing out before our very eyes!

Padma and Seamus, good show! You do our school, the council, and your respective houses proud.

Hydra, what a macabre and spine-tingling sight to see you take on that werewolf, all by yourself. He towered over you by several feet, to be sure! It makes me positively thrilled to call you a Slytherin, after that display of prowess on your part.

Oooh, It looks as if the wizard versus wizard demonstrations are about to begin. Everyone, get your omnioculers at the ready! This will be something you won't forget, I'm sure.

Private message to Auror Crouch

[alt_daphne]

I hope you're not having your new friends over for pudding after - they look as if they'd be unruly houseguests, and odoriferous, besides.

I must say that you look much stronger than when I last saw you. The Headmaster must have found you quite the miracle cure. And no wonder, I'm sure this is something that you'd never allow yourself to miss.

APPRECIATE THE COMPLIMENT

A RARE POTION, TO BE SURE, BUT NEITHER CURE, NOR MIRACLE.

SHOULD HOSPITALITY BE IN MY POWER

CAN THINK OF FAR MORE WELCOME GUESTS TO INVITE FOR PUDDING

Re: Private message to Auror Crouch

[alt_daphne]

Whatever it is, it's certainly done the trick.

If it manages to carry you through to afters, I'll be doubly impressed.

INDEED

THOUGH EXPECT THERE WILL BE A PRICE TO BE PAID

SOONER OR LATER


AS FOR TONIGHT,

UNLIKELY TO HAVE MUCH APPETITE BY EVENING'S END

EVEN IF STAMINA HOLDS

Re: Private message to Auror Crouch

[alt_daphne]

Ah. Take care, you.

And I figured as much, but I'll be impressed, anyway.

APPRECIATE THE CONFIDENCE

VISIT TOMORROW? YOU COULD READ AGAIN

ENJOYED THAT

ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH 'THE VALOR OF CYRUS KING OF PERSIA'?

EVENTFUL

AND LONG

Re: Private message to Auror Crouch

[alt_daphne]

The enjoyment was mutual.

My parents have an early edition in their library, as it so happens. I'll fetch it in the morning and be sure to brew up my Grandmother's special vocal-enhancing tonic.

Just the thing for long recitation.

SOMETHING TO ANTICIPATE

Order Only

[alt_ginny]

This is even worse than the Frost Faire. At least that time I was in my Common Room hearing it on the wireless.

The younger Gryffindors are half-convinced they'll be sent in as targets when they run out of prisoners. I told them that won't happen and I really hope I'm not lying.

Re: Order Only

[alt_daphne]

I hope that, as well.

I really do feel as if I'm watching a play, or something. But I know it doesn't feel that way for Justin or Hydra.

[alt_lavender]

I agree, it's quite something.

Private message to Lavender

[alt_daphne]

Alright, Lav?

I think Padma can definitely hold her own, if you were worried.

Re: Private message to Lavender

[alt_lavender]

Quite well--and I agree.

Padma's a very skilled witch and Our Lord has given her a fine opportunity to show her mettle.

Re: Private message to Lavender

[alt_lavender]

This bout against the Inferi has been quite suspenseful.

I'm certain that's just a scratch.

Re: Private message to Lavender

[alt_daphne]

Quite a lot of blood for a scratch, but I'm sure you're right!

Re: Private message to Lavender

[alt_lavender]

She'll be all right. She will.

[alt_linus]

Quite.

My Prefectly responsibilities to some of my rather over-excitable fellow students preclude the taking of proper notes on the bouts, but perhaps it is just as well, as I have no available notation for the tactics of werewolves, centaurs, and so forth.

Private Message to Daphs

[alt_blaise]

I've got a mug of chocolate with your name on it, if I can just get back through the crowd to our seats.

Wanted you to know I haven't been pressed into service in the ring.

Re: Private Message to Daphs

[alt_daphne]

Good.

How much longer til' it's over, you think?
