The highlight of Christmas in our household was the appearance of a Starbrite Starter Broom for my six-year-old. She wouldn't even let go of it when she went to sleep tonight, and her father has promised to take her flying tomorrow if the snow lets up, while my three-year-old and I drown our nerves about Anna flying in hot chocolate and cookie-baking. Wish us all luck.

We have a situation involving Elspeth MacFusty and Florinda McGonagall. Are you aware of it?

I apologise for bringing this up on Christmas, but it's important.

What is going on between you and Ellie that made her attack your girlfriend?

Also, I need you to tell me if you know of anyone else she has attacked. Has she hit you before?

I apologise for bringing this up on Christmas, but it's important.

We need to talk about your sister. Have you known her to attack people without provocation before? Has she hit you before?

I apologise for bringing this up on Christmas, but it's important.

[MG McGonagall]

I've been made aware of the situation between your sister and Elspeth. Does this affect plans for the charity match? Are you able to work with her and her players, and vice versa? I would rather put a halt to the entire thing than risk any further altercations.

I apologise for bringing this up on Christmas. I hope you're enjoying your holiday in the sun.

I have no idea outside of jealousy, which I suppose is possible but it wasn't something she brought up to me about it.

I meant that it's Christmas, Gwen. And Boxing Day after. One or two days isn't going to make a difference.

Besides, this isn't your job. I'm team manager and I'll manage her. With help from others as needed as needed. Stick to your PR stuff and let me do my damn job.

I take my responsibility toward the Portree organisation and all the people in it very seriously, Bastian. I don't care whether that's convenient for you or not. Ellie is a danger and a liability to the entire team as things stand, and dealing with that is my job.

Frankly, if Ellie's jealousy over you is what caused her to assault a member of the public, I doubt your ability to 'manage' her in this instance.

I didn't say it was jealousy. If she's jealous of Florrie or me or whatever, that's something she has to deal with.

I'm saying that managing the public's perception of the organization is your job. You're not a manager, or a healer, or an owner. If Ineed you to draft a statement - and for fuck's sake, don't do that - then I'll ask you to.

For now, I'm going to talk to her and work on next steps before it gets to be your job.

Clearly she is not dealing with it, so other steps will need to be taken. I hope you're up to the task.

Let me make one thing very clear: I am not a crisis manager or a professional cleaner; I am not here to mop up your and Ellie's public messes, but in part to prevent them from being made public in the first place, and as such this situation already falls under my purview. Furthermore, I work with you, not for you. I have autonomy to do as I see fit for the good of the team, and I will use it. If that bothers you, make a formal complaint to Mr. Urquhart.

Happy Christmas, Bastian. I'll see you tomorrow.
