So, I've already talked to Monte. How are you doing?

Hello - have you heard about this Magpies-Pink thing? Georgi was talking to me about it.

	I don't know. But I think that if you believe it to be truly pointless and against your beliefs about Quidditch and its place in society, you shouldn't do it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't think it's pointless. It's also about team loyalty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You shouldn't do it out of shame, is what I'm saying. If you believe something, you should stand up for it, Lex. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Because it'll damage your career not to. Not because you actually want to support your Muggleborn teammates in the fashion of their choosing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

....

Because Jason is my teammate. And I promised to protect him on the pitch. But that's not enough. I have to stand by him now even if I didn't before. And all my bullshit reasons of why I don't think this is the best way don't matter because it's not about me. It doesn't mean I don't feel those things, or recognize them as bullshit reasons, but they're not as important as standing by my friend and teammate.

I know it's loyalty to my family that's make me hesitate, but Montrose is my family too. And Montrose has stood by me when I've done things. And I need to stand by Montrose and Jason. Even if ~~my father~~ ~~my aunt~~ -- even if there are consequences.

I was a coward before.

And I'm scared and uncomfortable and worried about doing this, but I need to do it.

	I also need a big bottle of whiskey and to figure out how to get back to playing like myself in quidditch, but well, all in due time. ~~Father would-~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nah, you don't need whiskey. Whiskey is for bad times. Chocolate is for good times. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~This is not a good time.~~ Whiskey is for all times. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, I am half-scottish. Even if I did play for England. But the Macmillans haven't disowned me yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, well, I wouldn't be surprised if the Yaxleys do something after the next match. (Reply to this) (Parent)
