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.

	What's it for? Is it about length or having presentable facial hair? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Raising money for charity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	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? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gwen's dealing with the details. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You just grow it out and watch the coins pile up, right Laddie? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	laddiethelion 2017-11-15 04:23 pm UTC (link)
	Pretty much. Bit of fun and might throw off our opponents. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ohlaird 2017-11-15 04:25 pm UTC (link)
	I'd be surprised if it did unless there were potions involved. Has Gwen set grooming standards for the lot of you yet? If not I'm going to look out for some fun beardy pictures in the paper. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	laddiethelion 2017-11-15 04:30 pm UTC (link)
	Only that it has to look clean. Though I think that's more for the players. I have some... liberties I think.. Though there are bets as to whether your brother can actually grow a beard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ohlaird 2017-11-15 04:33 pm UTC (link)
	Well you're a lion, and what's a lion without without his mane? Are there? Well I better not place any bets or it'd sway the rest of you too much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	laddiethelion 2017-11-15 04:42 pm UTC (link)
	You could always place them anonymously. Unless you've got some rules about betting for/against your brother. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ohlaird 2017-11-15 05:04 pm UTC (link)
	I try to leave him with some dignity. Plus I think it'd be more fun to let the rest of you try and solve the question of 'can David grow a beard?' (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	laddiethelion 2017-11-16 04:13 am UTC (link)
	Where's the fun in that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ohlaird 2017-11-16 06:10 am UTC (link)
	Fun for me, maybe a bit less fun for the rest of you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	laddiethelion 2017-11-16 06:11 am UTC (link)
	Depends if you tell me where to put my money. (Reply to this) (Parent)

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.

	The challenge might be getting them all to shave after that success.. How could anyone disagree? Do you need my whiskers and galleons or just the one? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gwensational 2017-11-15 05:13 pm UTC (link)
	As whiskers don't actually buy wands, contrary to our slogan, Galleons would be much appreciated. Thank you for your support. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It was misleading, I had to ask. Although now if anyone asks I can say my scruff is in the name of charity. Any time. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'll be sure to mention it in the next match report for Portree. (Reply to this) (Parent)
