If anyone knows where the actual Harpies team is being held captive and who these imposters masquerading as them are, I would appreciate an owl. Cheers.

They’re going to need some ice.

My mum was even more horrified than I was, seeing as she played for them, years ago.

Someone should owl eyeglasses to Jones and Griffiths.

It would have been funnier if they hadn't been hellbent on putting the supporters out of play.

Marginally, anyway.

I probably would have laughed, then. Before it got old.

So would those of us in the Harpies end of the stands for all of that. Bloody hell.

You have my sincerest sympathies. I'm very interested to see how they address the press after this debacle.

One of my mates is on the Harpies, so... makes it even more awkward. Oh well.

That's very rough. Are you two close? I know a lot of the old guard, not so much the current team, outside of professional encounters.

Oh yeah, Ginny Weasley and I shared a dormitory. We were in Kenna's year, though she wasn't in our house, of course.

Oh, yes, of course. I remember, now. I'm sure she's frustrated after today's match.

[info]fillefidele

Definitely. I mean, I've only had the chance to go to matches regularly since leaving school and it's still obvious that that wasn't the kind of performance you expect from the Harpies.

It was a very atypical performance.

I think those were the cannons. Harpies kindly substituted for them for the arrows.

This is entirely plausible. And would explain a lot.

That's the question of the hour. And the week. And possibly the month.

Seriously! I mean, If I were them, I'd order an inquiry because the harpies do not get trounced like that unless someone hexed them!

It's worse than our chudley match.

Your coach suggested the Cannons had kindly stepped in for this match and I'm inclined to agree that's a possibility.

Still! That's tampering. Did someone pay them to throw the match?? Fans demand to know!

They can't actually be that bad, right? That score was atrocious!

It was bloody awful. I'm almost hoping something else happened because if they actually have gone that far south as a team, that's a problem.

Right? Especially since their last game. And it's not like they were playing their second strings...

I am, too, Lex. I'm struggling to come up with a plausible explanation that doesn't involve bad jokes or Polyjuice Potion.

I'm sure the Harpies won't think so.

My grandmum actually sent me an express owl asking me if I knew what was up with them.



Well, interspersed with a choice selection of Welsh cursing...

My mum was pacing the whole time, and I'm sure she would've owled me had I not been at the house at the time.

It was not an easy match to sit through.

[info]chucking
2018-02-21 06:44 pm UTC (link)
I'm glad my grandmum went with an express owl, and not a floo call. It's a bit hard to follow, even when I understand Welsh, when she speaks too fast.

It certainly wasn't. Though at least it lasted longer than thirty-eight minutes?

I don't know. I almost would have preferred a quick death rather than dragging it out for several hours.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]chucking

That may have made my job easier. It's really not the sort of match that makes for interesting reporting, or rather trying to make it more interesting than it was.

It's probably the shortest match report I've written since I started working over here.

I have a very easy time believing that.

Appalling match. Waste of an evening. If I just wanted to see Portree gloat I'd read Meaghan McCormack's journal.

You always have such a way with words, Des. But it's true.
