[MG]

Congratulations on the season, Coach. You have done something amazing with this team, and I am proud and honored to be part of this. And I am so grateful to you and your family for taking me in and helping me so much when I was alone in this country and didn't speak or understand everything very well. I will always be grateful to you and Gabi and your girls, and even the baby, for making me feel so welcome and so comfortable here.

I have already given this information to Florrie and my healers and cursebreaker, and they all said I did not need to tell anyone about it if I don't want because it's private medical information, but because you worried about it, I wanted to assure you that this Draganov curse I've had put on me is not harmful to my health or to anyone else. As we understand it, the spell will prevent me from having children of my own blood in the future. Of course this is a serious curse, but I can't change it, and ~~because I will not be married~~ [....] it's not something I am worrying about right now. Now, I only want to finish this season with my team, help the Magpies win the League Cup and the Golden Neep, and focus on Quidditch. I am ready to play and I am not stressed about it anymore, and I will not have another match like the first Neep one. I promise this.

[Roger, Kal, Ada]

I wanted to thank you all for making my first season in Scotland, hopefully not my last season, so comfortable and welcoming. I am very happy and honored to call you my friends.

I have something important to say to you, and I know it is not usual and I understand if you aren't easy with it. But I hope it won't make you turn away from me, and I want to end the season being honest.

My secret is that I am in love with a young man whom you all know, Ernie Macmillan. He makes me happier than I thought I could be. He makes me better. He makes me braver. He makes me think everything is possible, when I never thought that before. I have been afraid to show how I feel, but after everything that has happened I'm less afraid, and I wanted my friends to know what is important in my life.

You are important to me, too. I hope that we will stay friends no matter what happens after this season.

[Alex]

You've said to contact you if I need anything from you. I don't need you to do anything now, but I want you to be aware of something in case it causes a problem.

I am ~~dating~~ ~~spending time~~ ~~in lo~~ dating a member of the Macmillan family, who own the Magpies. And we are starting to tell our friends and family about it and be more open, so the Macmillans will know soon. I know that my job here depends on this family and if it becomes more public it might look like this is something dishonorable, but this person is not involved with Montrose business at all and I would not ever use this connection to keep my place on the team.

I'm sorry if this makes problems for you or the team. If you want me to do or say anything in case the gossip papers find out about this, please tell me.

[Ernie]

I told Lex about you and me. And Ainsley guessed on her own. And the world didn't end, and they're both happy for us, and I feel good about all of it.

I have a surprise for you. May I take you out for dinner this weekend?

	I'm so glad you have found someone who makes you feel so content, Georgi. Ernie is brilliant, and I'm happy for both of you! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you, Roger. ~~I didn't know if~~ This is not something that is accepted where I come from, and I am very grateful to have your support. We are having a party for my name day, which is St. George's Day, on May 6. I would be happy if you can come, and of course you may bring a date or a friend if you like. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Ernie bestbeloved 2018-04-17 06:14 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. She said she guessed it before. I think we were not so good at being secret sometimes. Was I wrong? I guess I don't know how to do this. I'm very sorry if I did it too soon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ernie bestbeloved 2018-04-18 04:15 am UTC (link)
	Please try not to panic too much. Lex would not tell anyone, especially not her mother or your grandmother. And she isn't upset about it, Ernie, she's glad. But I'm sorry I've told her without asking you, моето слънце. I didn't think about it very much, I just wanted my partner to know why I'm happy. ~~I also have told~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Georgi - later closedcaptioned 2018-04-18 04:32 am UTC (link)
	I talked to Lex. She doesn't have any better idea what to do about her mother than I do. I just don't want them to send you away out of spite. I want to be wrong about all of this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Don't worry about that part of it. Of course I want to play for the Magpies, and I think I still will. I know that Coach McGonagall and Shona wouldn't like to lose me after a season like this, especially if we win the Cup and the Neep, and Lex has said she will fight for me to stay here. But even if this isn't enough, I can play Quidditch anywhere. In Scotland or Ireland or England or the bottom part of England, Wales. Or anywhere in Europe, or we can go to America, or Australia, or Japan or Zimbabwe or Egypt, because there are so many places where they play Quidditch and somewhere there's a place for me. In the end I don't care where I am or what team's colors I wear. If I have you, that's enough for me.

Maybe I should be worried because all of this is unknown, but I'm not, Ernie. I hope if you're still worried about this it's not for me, because I will be fine. I want you to be fine, too.

	I know you'll be fine. And I will be fine. You've been through a lot recently. Forgive me for wanting things to go smoothly for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

We have been through a lot recently, together, but do you know something? Now that it's all over and I can't go back to what my life used to be, I feel calm, and happy, and free, and like everything is possible. I never felt like this before.

Like you said to me, we are taking steps forward, never backward. Maybe we don't know exactly where we're going, and maybe the path won't go as smoothly as we hope, but as long as I'm walking with you, I know I'll always be happy.

	I love you, too. May I take you out to dinner this weekend? We can go to a Muggle place, where no one will take pictures. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Georgi douxnoir 2018-04-17 08:47 pm UTC (link)
	I won't say I'm surprised, since that rather goes without saying... but that isn't going to stop me from being friends with you, Georgi. I am, of course, very happy you've found someone that makes you feel that way. It's a wonderful feeling, non? I hope things continue to go well for you and Ernie. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Ada bestbeloved 2018-04-18 04:27 am UTC (link)
	Merci, Ada. I understand this, because it's surprising to me too. But I'm very happy to have your friendship even so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Georgi douxnoir 2018-04-18 07:28 pm UTC (link)
	And I'm happy to have yours. It's been nice having a familiar face on the team. I hope you know you're welcome to bring Ernie as your plus one to the wedding - even if you've already sent back your rsvp. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Thanks for letting me know. So long as you're both happy and everything is above board, I can't really foresee it being an issue, other than how you just indicated, re: possible accusations of favoritism. We can tackle that with honesty and transparency, at any rate. ~~It's not Jupiter, is it?~~ If the press catch wind of anything and decide to be nasty about it, we'll fight that battle ~~whe~~ if it comes to that.

You could use the win, so try not to worry about it, and just enjoy yourself.

	Okay. Thank you. I'm very happy, and I'll tell you if anything happens that might change this, but right now everything is very good. I would appreciate if you could please not mention anything to the Macmillans or the McGonagalls yet. We are only starting to tell people and it's a little secret still.

I'm happy to have you as a friend, too! Making friends hasn't always come easily, or quickly, for me, but this year has marked a change for me. Maybe it's because the Magpies feel more like family than simply friends. And you're part of that family. I hope you'll be here for many more seasons to come.

I confess I'm a little surprised, but only because I last saw you with someone else. I can understand it might be a scary situation and hard to talk about publicly, but you don't have to worry about talking about it with me. I'm happy that you're happy. I don't know Ernie well, but everything I know about him is good.

The thing that happens after this season? Celebrating! We had an undefeated season!!

Thank you, Kal. I hope I can stay here, too.

I want to explain to you about Peggy. I like her, of course, as a friend. She's a very kind, smart, ambitious, understanding woman and I admire her very much. But I courted her to please my parents, because it was something I was supposed to do as a pureblood son and the heir to my grandfather's business. I know this may be hard to understand since your family isn't like that, but there are many limits on the life I used to have, and because I was trying to be what my family wanted, I could not follow my heart. Now, because of some decisions I've made, my grandfather has disinherited me, my father has disowned me, and of course it's difficult and it has hurt me to lose my family, but it also means I am free. I can choose what I want in my life now, and what I want is him.

Of course, you're right. I'm happy to celebrate with my team and my friends.

First, I'm glad you've felt so welcomed and comfortable here, that's what we want for any player and definitely for a kind and upstanding lad like you. It's been a better season in many ways than I could've dreamed of and that's due to the team coming together and having their eye on the prize, just like you do.

As for the curse [...], I'm sorry to hear about the effects but pleased that it won't harm you and you're no longer stressed about it. There are things we can't do much about in life, but I do believe that any lad who can make such friends and new family like you have here will end up with his broom the right way.

Thank you, Coach. I've played with many very good players in my career so far, but I have not played on a team that cares so much for each other. Lex says Magpies are family, and I am very glad to be part of this one.

I was very hurt in the beginning when I found out about it, but I know now that my father's curse is not the end of my future. I always wanted to have children and have a family like yours, but of course there are other ways to be a parent than being blood related. Whatever happens, it will be okay.
