merry christmas, portree!
Who: Whoever's at the Pride of Portree club.
What: The Pride of Portree club's been re-decorated! It's nothing suspicious! Nothing at all! And whatever it is, it definitely wasn't orchestrated by Meaghan McCormack or Maggie MacDougal!
When: Monday, December 11.
Where: Pride of Portree club.
Warnings: Language.


When the Pride of Portree's players and staff members arrive at the club on Monday, they may notice some new decorations among the extant Yuletide fare. A few dozen small, fabric ornaments have been added to garlands, nestled above doorways, and secreted into book cases. They weren't constructed, or placed, artfully, but they're kind of cute. Some fly in circles above the locker room, lounge, and cafeteria. If you get close you'll notice that they're PIGS.

That was awfully nice of whoever put in the time and effort to put them up!


By mid-morning the ornaments begin to sing Yuletide carols in lovely (oinky) little voices. How adorable!

At lunch, the lyrics... develop. Each carol becomes either Quidditch-themed or rudely-phrased — or both! Although it's evident this was an inside job, no one fesses up to the deed.

Modified carols include:
  • "Away in St. Mungo's"
  • "Deck the Ref"
  • "Fuck Off You Merry Gentlemen"
  • "Hark! The Paparazzi Yap"
  • "Jingle Balls"
  • "Go Tell It to the Goalposts"
  • "Good King Urquhart"
  • "Little Beater Boy"
  • "O Come, All Hungover"
  • "O Come, O Come, O Bollocks"
  • "O Quidditch Tree"
The crowning glory of the effort may be an entirely new version of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" called "The Twelve Plays of Portree," the chorus of which goes as follows:
For the twelfth play of Portree, my admin gave to me...
Twelve Decent Teams,
Eleven Cannons Kipping,
Ten Mascots Leaping,
Nine Bludgers Whizzing,
Eight Coaches Yelling,
Seven Howlers Screeching,
Six Groupies Laying,
Five Golden Hoops,
Four Diving Seekers,
Three MacFustys,
Two Quafflepocks,
and a Concussion in the Infirmary!

Well in THAT case she wants a vial of dragon's blood, a solid gold bludger and a "G" surprise because she still thinks she technically earned that.

The wee pigs are absolutely adorable, and the bawdy carols hysterical- that is, until it's mid-afternoon, and Ainsley has caught herself no less than five times singing the alternative lyrics aloud to herself all throughout practice, and in the hallways, and in the showers. It's probably a good thing that she barely sings at an audible level- her tune-carrying abilities are...not great (to put it kindly)- especially not with lyrics like:

O, come ye, MacFustys
Come and train your dragon
Oh, please don't, oh, please don't
Burn us all to the ground


or

Snitches we have seen on high
Streaking all around the pitch
And the seekers madly fly
Might go headfirst in a ditch


Yeah, by the end of the day, she really wants to tear her hair out.

Meaghan is looking about as innocent as it's possible for Meaghan to look, which should be considered HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS. Whenever she walks into a room she stops for a second to listen but obviously she's just distracted by the music and not WAITING FOR SOMETHING. When the carols do start to change she doesn't say anything until someone else notices. OH YOU'RE RIGHT, that's NOT what it said before ahaha how funny haha shaddap I am not cackling this is just laughing like a normal person.

Maggie was a prefect with a firewhiskey stash — she knows how to rock a poker face.

... Usually.

She spends a suspicious amount of time in the common spaces, the lounge in particular. Sure, she's got a little pile of work, but she's usually one to call the lounge "distracting" and "noisy." Today, apparently she "needs a change of scenery" and "just wants to see [insert conversational partner of the moment]'s face one more time before the holidays" because she's "feeling sentimental."

Every time someone around her's about to get an ear full of pigly poem, they get a sidelong glance.

Maggie looks proud of something.

It's probably her work ethic.

Ellie tries and to some success turns at least 3 three of the pigs into dragons. Or at least more dragon shapes. She will also find one singing a MacFusty tune and enchant to move/fly.

See, see made it better. Totally need to go fly and bother people in their offices.

Scrimmy loves this, but PARTICULARLY loves it when the pigs get into modified carols.

Soon she's humming and singing them out loud around the locker room and club rooms and she dances her way through the halls.

Good Boy Urquhart looked out
On the pitch of Portree
When the team lay round about
Beat and bruised and blooody
Brightly shone the team that game
Though the medic was cruuuu-el
When a poor ref came in sight
Needlessly fouuul-ing


(the rest of the song chronicles not Good Boy Urquhart bringing the man inside for food and shelter, but instead asking coach how this ref can make such bad calls. In the end, the ref gets decked (by coach) and Scrimmy then breaks into 'Deck The Ref')
