[7th june]
If I had to choose a way to start my first week back home in six years, I don't think I could have planned it better than this. I mean, I'm still not quite sure how I ended up nominated for Most Charming Smile, but at least the unexpected photo looked good? And in my first game with my new team, we won and I caught the snitch?

This was a good homecoming.

	Well, Alicia doesn't seem to care that she's in the running. She's skeptical. I am thanking you for both. Now that I know you want to win, I can put a spin on it and brag about both of you, but especially you, especially since you clinched the win. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh! That! I don't care about the most charming smile. It's really creepy actually because I had just had lunch with an old friend and I was leaving the Leaky and apparently someone took my photo? I thought you were asking me if I wanted the Bats to win. And that is, yes, of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, that's juicy. Who was the friend? Is there something I should know? Anyway, it's a big deal. Remember when that fraud Lockhart won it a billion times? The ladies are into it. I am really glad that you delivered in this game. It's so important. To the team. To me. To my soul. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wouldn't say juicy. Just complicated. Penelope Clearwater. Trust me, I know. That was a huge weight off my shoulders when that snitch ended up in my hand, my first game here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, poor Pen. She got sacked and now she's having to flat hunt. That boyfriend of hers, what a tosser. ~~I was actually going to have a chat with Orsino about her? I don't know.~~ Hey out of curiosity, did you actually read your contact for the Polish team? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Right. I'm sorry. I'll ask her myself. As to the contract, I had an interpreter but that wasn't ideal. I did get paid exactly what I was expecting though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

No - could you not? Because then she'd know that I actually let it slip and that would be quite bad. Her boyfriend was just not someone that I liked and I'm going to be asking Orsino if he was open to bringing her on the team. She's your mate, that's fine, yeah? If not, you should probably tell me but please do not mention this.

Pay is important. Do they have any rights to anything else?

	Well, I'm hoping her and I can manage to be friends. And I can't agree to that but I will take the blame. I wasn't upfront with you. No, the contract was up two years ago, and then I renewed by season. This year I elected not to renew. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She would never kill me, so I won't over exaggerate the situation. However, don't go chucking me into the bin when it comes time. I meant well. Usually do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Matilda everonward 2017-06-08 04:48 am UTC (link)
	I know you did. Like I said, I wasn't upfront with you. I also had no idea on most of that, but trust me when I say that I'm not going to chuck you in the bin. Without saying too much, I was an arse and she deserved better. Still does. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Matilda everonward 2017-06-08 04:57 am UTC (link)
	I dated her for a bit. No one knew. Because I was scared to stand up to my family. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What, because she's a muggleborn and people were hunting us for sport? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Technically after that? I'm sorry, there's no nice way to say I was a coward who may have agreed with the blood purist views I was raised with for a time. Or that I stood by and did nothing and didn't choose a side during the war.

Anyway, after that I had a rather public relationship with a Muggleborn, and my family disowned me. Then I went to Poland for six years and now I'm home.

	Well, luckily the war has long ended and we all made it through. Penelope is still around, she's reasonable. Please don't fuck that up. She's the closest thing to a best friend that I have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Matilda everonward 2017-06-08 05:14 am UTC (link)
	I couldn't not tell her what I knew. I'm sorry about that but yes, she is reasonable and I'm actually glad to know she has you. If she's upset now, I very much doubt it's with you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Terence stint 2017-06-08 03:16 pm UTC (link)
	Well, at least you gave me the notice. I'll reach out to her in a few days. I try to be more gentle with her. I fail at it. Anyway, I think you ought to really try to win for best smile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have a goofy smile. (Reply to this) (Parent)
