Who: Gwen Miracle
What: Press release regarding the staffing shake-up at Portree.

You know my little stone house outside Salen? The one me and Elsa were going to move into before I went to ?

I'm renting it out to Gregor and his wee niece, and it could stand a bit of work done before the little girl comes back from Hogwarts at the end of term. Reckon you and I can gather the troops sometime soon and fix up the shed and batten down the windows and such? I'll pay ye all in brotherly love. How about it?

Who: Peggy Urquhart, Rita Skeeter, and Barnabas Cuffe
What: Snooping
When: Wednesday afternoon, 8 November 1999
Where: Daily Prophet offices
Warnings: Slytherins and swearing!

( You haven't heard the last of this, you little b***h! )

Immediately following this:
[All Urquharts, Gwen, Cav, Ellie]

Rita Skeeter had a line on a story about both of the lineup changes. I don't know where she got the information about Parkinson but she knew about both of them. And I quote "Look for Portree to bring in secret weapons I call 'Fire' and 'Ice' in the Fall Classic."

Gwen, I need a press release as source material ASAP. We go to the staff meeting in half an hour and if nothing else I need a quote on Parkinson to work from. You can build the rest of the press release around it.

You can all squabble about discuss whose fault this is later. Now we salvage things and then we make sure we don't have this problem again.

[Gwen]

Rita. Start with Rita.

Who: Kal Sharma, Florrie McGonagall
What: Check-up prior to the the weekend’s match
When: 8 November 1999
Where: Montrose clinic at the pitch
Warnings: None

( She couldn’t deny the wisdom of it. )

The days are getting shorter, but feeling longer. However, they are infinitely better when ended with a game of catch.



Now, if only we could all aspire to be so quick.

[WARD to JUSTIN & GREGOR]

I am honestly not trying to start anything the week leading up to the Fall Classic, but there there is a lot of chatter happening about Isla Cameron's departure from Pride of Portree. Especially among other muggleborn players, and even those more severely impacted by the war.

If you can't say anything I can appreciate that, but between friends do you have an opinion or further insight on the Cameron departure?
