ORDER ONLY: Quidditch

[alt_mcgonagall]

The Lord Protector is coming to every single Quidditch match?!

Why did I allow Harry Marvolo on the team? What in Merlin's name was I thinking? How -

I am mostly angry at myself. I ought to have seen this coming.

Perhaps I ought to reinforce the Disillusionment charms on that certain place. I suppose we'll have to hope that he doesn't get lost in the corridors.

But the Boot boy has finally shown some spirit, which I suppose is one bright spot. More subtle than I'd have expected, as well.

Oh . . . oh my goodness! I'd have missed that if you hadn't pointed it out, but it does change the meaning entirely, doesn't it? And you think it was deliberate? Then maybe there is a spark down there somewhere that you can fan into a flame, if you are quite careful about it.

Arthur just came in from the kitchen to see why I was laughing so hard. Carrow hasn't noticed, has he?

Not as yet, and I don't think he will notice. He's too sure that Boot is not merely mentally defective, but also utterly cowed. Which give me no end of pleasure, of course!
