[Ama MacFarlane]

Ama, Angus Campbell here. You might remember me from Hogwarts. I was a Gryffindor a few years below you, and one time you took ten points from me for throwing hexes in the corridor. I would be lying if I claimed that straightened me out and I never put a wee toe out of line again, but it did leave an impression.

So a certain teammate of mine told me you and I might get on, and he gave me the all-clear to chat you up. I dinnae ken what Maddock might have told you about me, but I promise all the good things are true and the bad are pure slanderous invention. Anyway, I was wondering if you might be interested in letting me take you out to dinner one night next week. I promise my manners have improved by a wee bit since Hogwarts.

[Angus]
Would you like some French lessons?

I think Léonie plans to stay in touch.

[Dani]
Do you need anything from me regarding the boots?

To all the “Pink” & Uplift Supporters:

Thank you to everyone who showed up at the Kenmare match. It was refreshing to see such a presence in stands. Rest assured we plan to keep this momentum going.

We are here. And we are not going away.

[WARD to MONTROSE STAFF & PLAYERS]

In taking a cue from Kenmare presence at their match, I would like to formally request that Montrose considers a uniform alteration as a statement of unity. After the Falmouth incident, we cannot afford to be silent.

As you know, I have been at the forefront of this movement. What I am asking for now is for Montrose to publicly show unity and support for those with muggle heritage and their loved ones.

Please stand with me. Let us all come out against Wigtown in black, white, and pink.

[//WARD to MONTROSE]

[WARD to COACH McG & SHONA]

And as I ask you to stand with me, I also realize that Maddock’s injury was unexpected. Although I had requested to be rested the week before the Annual Broom Race, please have no doubt that Montrose comes first.

I am fully prepared to start against Wigtown. I am ready to change, and even cancel, my Annual Broom Race plans. Please just keep me updated.

[//WARD to COACH McG & SHONA]

[Magpie players + Gregor]

I have a proposition for all of you. Stop what you're doing immediately, this is more important.

As some of you may know, I lost my last girlfriend in the wilds of Canada during my holiday by the sea a few years back. Dinna fash, I'm fine, it's onward and upward for Angus Campbell. The trouble is now I've come back from that I'm getting a bit long in the tooth, I live on a wee island, and for various reasons I've not been in the dating game lately. Reckon I need a wee bit of help.

I'm going to need each one of you to set me up with a woman during the next month. I dinnae have many criteria except that she should be female, single, relatively age-appropriate, not affiliated with Portree, and not deathly bored by Quid. If she should happen to be Scottish, lovely, appreciates the outdoors and the sea, and has a flush account at Gringotts, so much the better.

All right, all of ye have your assignments. Operation Forward March is go.

Spotted Abroad! is an occasional feature of Witch Weekly

Jan 3, 2000
Spotted last week in St. John's former Montrose Magpies starter Angus Campbell. Is Campbell looking for an overseas reversal of fortune? Perhaps he's fleeing Scotland after his teammate and sometime girlfriend Elektra Yaxley impulsively married team captain Micah Savage. Or perhaps curiously unsuccessful Pride of Portree Seeker Pip Parkinson, also seen in Atlantic Canada over the holidays, is recruiting him as part of a trade to get back to the Maritimes...

Who: Angus Campbell, NPC Elsa Reichert.
What: "When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one’s self, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance." - Oscar Wilde
When: 1 January 2000
Where: Charlottetown, PEI, Canada
Warnings: A moment of terror (for Angus), but otherwise just a wee bit sad.
