So is this No-Shave November a thing or is it just an excuse people seem to be making up to get a month free of shaving?

[Da]

Met Catriona McCormack at the match and she agreed to an interview so we could do a feature.

I mostly want it to flesh out our section on her and the other parts she features in on the Portree side of the book, but I figure a spread on a well loved Portree legend sold to the magazines will be good press.


[...] I have to ask. Is this many roster changes expected for the first half of a season? I know it's a rebuilding one and all but David's alright, right?

[Urq siblings]
David, still looking for something non-quidditch?

Which is also an excuse to say: can we please do something unrelated to quidditch? I feel up to my ears in it and I wouldn't be surprised if you two were. It's inescapable right now. Even when mum took me as her date to some performance by one of her former students there had to be some gushing about that Australian teammate.

[Coach MacFusty]
I had someone owl you a copy of the spread in Seeker Weekly of our interview. I hope it got to you, the photographer really enjoyed your session.

Anything but quidditch.Swimming in the loch, shopping on Diagon Alley or in Hogsmeade, sitting in the castle reading a book. As long as it doesn't involve quidditch or Rita Skeeter, I'm happy. Happier.

Getting out of the castle would be nice too but the priority is No Quidditch. I'll even levitate your bags for you if that's what gets me No Quidditch.

As for Skeeter...it's my policy to do as little that involves her as possible.

And I'm already being solicited for my where I'd throw my money on whatever bet the team has about your beard.

I already told them I wouldn't place any money either way. Also watch out for use of unsolicited potions and lotions on your person, is all I'm saying.

Well if there's anyone you want to lose some money, Peggy and I can always tip the odds easily.

You didn't answer on job or fun non-quidditch things though.

Raising money for charity.

Which charity?

And where does the money come in? Do you throw your sickles into the donation box so that everyone humours your growing phase? Or do other people pay to see how you'd look with a bit of scruff?

Once they see the team coming, looking like a band of vagrants, people pay to have them go away again.

I'm joking, of course. It's an awareness-raising promotion. We're calling it Whiskers For WANDS, which of course is the public scholarship fund that helps purchase wands and other school supplies for underprivileged Hogwarts students, and we're soliciting donations at all our team events this month. A very good cause, I'm sure you'll agree.

I did. I was quite pleased with the images they chose.

There were also some rather ... interesting out takes that were perhaps a bit too risky.

We can save them for another feature they'd fit in better. Or I can get the photographer to send them along so you can pick out your choice favourites.

Doubt they ever be mass released.
But wouldn't be upset if they were.

Surprised the photographer even agreed to few.

Well, so far no one in the league's gotten pregnant and left. We have a lot of young women, could still happen. David's not a risk for that status change.

He has to earn his place on the team, same as anyone, and he has to have the confidence of the coach and the manager.

I'm a little cross with them because we don't want to be part of a media circus, but we also have the second best record in the league, so there's no need to consider changes.

You've watched your brother play at the professional level, what's your take on him?

I guess as long as they're delivering results that's what matters.

Why? He's only played one match. I'd hate to judge any player based on one match, least of all my brother. Why?

Why else? Because you and I talk Quidditch all the time and I like to know your opinions so we can discuss them.

[...]

The Falcons always have brutal beaters and they kept the chasers at bay for a lot of it. But David got off as many shots as mum's favourite Australian and he let them take the lead which is smart given it's his first match and they were clearly trying to shut down anyone near the quaffle.

Plus he flew away injury free from a Falcons match as a rookie on his first pro match. I'd say that was something.
