[Cav, Ellie, and Lorna]
It has come to my attention that my presence on the team may be causing some unintentional tension and problems among my fellow teammates. Internal strife is certainly the last thing I want to be the maker of. I have taken the past several days to think about the best solution to this matter and I think it would be best for everyone involved if Maddie was on the roster for the game against Ballycastle on the twentieth.

I will, of course, be in attendance to cheer and support the team in a full capacity.

	Personally, I don't see it as excluding, because I will continue to participate fully, but allowing others to play in an environment when they feel is more comfortable and secure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	But does that still allow you to feel comfortable and secure? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I admit that I was taken aback when I found out about these concerns, but I'll be okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you need anything or want to talk about this in person, just let me know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sure you've read the exchange between Cav and myself. Honestly, I'm not sure if I'm did the right thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yes I have, and I will tell you that you have done nothing wrong in coming forward. If you're having an issue with a teammate, no matter who it is, it's your right to come forward so it can be dealt with.

On the other side, making a request not to play is not a solution in my opinion. As we are still on a break, and then have a few weeks before the next match for training... this is something that should be dealt with as soon as possible.

I don't think I need to tell you that Quidditch is a game where you have to learn to not be intimidated, even by your teammates. While I've had the benefit of most of Portree welcoming me back to the team, there are plenty of people in the Quidditch world who think that I am too old, out of practice or stealing a spot for another player. This doesn't make me sit out for someone else to be beater instead. I go out there on that pitch to prove to myself that I deserve to be there no matter what anyone else says.
