MM to Luna: They offered me the captaincy. Gwenog... I don't know if I can

MM to Marcus: Have you ever been offered something you've always wanted, but it came at a time where it felt wrong to accept it? I don't know what to do

MM to Ron: Tell me it wouldn't be utterly selfish to accept a promotion right now?

MM to Percy: I need some guidance, oh ambitious brother of mine.

MM to Viktor: Hey Viktor, how are things going? I'm so sorry about Erin. It's been rough over here, I can imagine it's been for you guys as well.
MM to Viktor: With the season starting back up, the teams are doing what they have to though, and that means replacing them, you know? It feels wrong to just replace them
MM to Viktor: They've offered me to Captain the Harpies

	They've offered me the captaincy, but Gwenog... It's what I've always wanted, but it feels wrong to profit from tragedy like this (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You're not profiting from tragedy. If you had taken advantage, that would be one thing, but you are not to blame for Gwenog's death, and you are not at fault for being incredibly good at your job.

You know she would have chosen you if she had any say in the matter.

Take it. Don't hesitate. Make her proud. Be fierce and fearless and everything that you are, just on a slightly bigger stage.

	You had better get us tickets to your first match. I'll even make Penelope get Olivia a Holyhead onesie, despite her loyalties. Own it, Ginevra, you're a Weasley. We're not exactly known for backing down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Percy/Ginny thelittlered 2018-02-17 07:20 pm UTC (link)
	Of course I will! It's Thursday, by the way. The box will be full of Weasleys ;) I am. I won't back down. I love you Perce. Seriously, thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You would be an amazing captain. What makes you wary? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: Luna/Ginny thelittlered 2018-02-17 08:03 pm UTC (link)
	It's just, she died. She didn't retire, she died. To just replace her like that. ~~And Hannah's still not awake. She~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Luna/Ginny lovingluna 2018-02-17 08:06 pm UTC (link)
	They offered it to you though, you didn't ask for it. You're not replacing her, not really. I think they made the right decision. It'll be hard, but you could honor her during the first game. Everyone could wear a little band on their arm with her initials on it or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Luna/Ginny thelittlered 2018-02-17 08:48 pm UTC (link)
	That's a really good idea Luna, thank you. I love you, you know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Luna/Ginny lovingluna 2018-02-17 08:50 pm UTC (link)
	I know it, I love you too. You're going to take the position, aren't you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Luna/Ginny thelittlered 2018-02-17 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	Of course I am, I just don't want to feel like a shite person for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Luna/Ginny lovingluna 2018-02-17 09:02 pm UTC (link)
	The fact that you're worried about that means that you're not a shite person. Would you mind if I brought a friend with me to the game? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Luna/Ginny thelittlered 2018-02-17 09:24 pm UTC (link)
	Oooh would this friend happen to be tall, dark, and handsome? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Luna/Ginny lovingluna 2018-02-17 09:26 pm UTC (link)
	I thought that he might enjoy a good game. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Only if you'd actively campaigned for the promotion and I don't think you'd do that. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: Ron/Ginny thelittlered 2018-02-17 09:43 pm UTC (link)
	I didn't. I wasn't even thinking about who was going to be Captain with Gwenog gone, though I knew the higher ups were working on making a decision. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Ron/Ginny pawnography 2018-02-17 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	You'd be a great captain if you did take it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Ron/Ginny thelittlered 2018-02-17 10:36 pm UTC (link)
	I'm going to take it. I'd be an idiot not to. It's just painful know why it's come about now, you know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Ron/Ginny pawnography 2018-02-18 06:44 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I know. Gwenog left big shoes to fill. But I bet she would have picked you as her successor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Ron/Ginny thelittlered 2018-02-18 08:56 pm UTC (link)
	She really did. It's a nice thought that she would have if she'd had the chance to choose. I can do it, I know I can. We've had such a brilliant season so far, I'd love to win it for her, finish what she started. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Marcus/Ginny falghun 2018-02-17 09:42 pm UTC (link)
	I don't think so. What's going on? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: Marcus/Ginny thelittlered 2018-02-17 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	They've offered me the captaincy. I'm going to take it, but it's killing me to think of why I'm getting it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marcus/Ginny falghun 2018-02-17 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	I'm proud of you. And I get it. It's not a way anyone would want to become captain. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marcus/Ginny thelittlered 2018-02-17 10:46 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks, it really isn't. Luna suggested I have the team do something to honor Gwenog in the first game back on Thursday, like all wear wristbands with her initials or something (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marcus/Ginny falghun 2018-02-18 07:58 pm UTC (link)
	You should definitely do something. Black armbands? A minute's silence before the match? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marcus/Ginny thelittlered 2018-02-18 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I imagine every team's first game back will have a moment of silence. I'd hope so anyway. We lost two fantastic players and people in Gwenog and Erin. You'll be there cheering me on, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marcus/Ginny falghun 2018-02-18 09:28 pm UTC (link)
	I'll be there. I'll even wear Harpies green just for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marcus/Ginny thelittlered 2018-02-18 10:03 pm UTC (link)
	Careful now or people will talk ;) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Viktor and Ginny snitch_snatcher 2018-02-18 04:36 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks. And I'm sorry about Gwen. She was a good friend and fellow captain. I'll miss her too. It feels wrong but it is part of the game we always have to deal with - the show must go on, to borrow a turn of phrase. I can't say as I'm surprised. You're an excellent and ambitious player with the drive to potentially help the team along. Have you accepted it? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: Viktor and Ginny thelittlered 2018-02-18 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	I knew you'd get it better than most. Thanks, Viktor. They gave me the weekend to decide, I'm set to give them my decision Monday morning before practice. You know I'm likely to pick your brain from time to time, right? Mainly because of all the team captains in the league, I trust you most not to sabotage me ;) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Viktor and Ginny snitch_snatcher 2018-02-19 02:29 am UTC (link)
	Of course. You're allowed. You know I would never sabotage you. Wouldn't be any fun to beat you if I knew it was dirtily done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Viktor and Ginny thelittlered 2018-02-19 03:15 am UTC (link)
	Exactly, though you know it's a close match, this season especially. Let's just both try to keep the top two spots, yeah? Definitely want to go head to head in the finals, I know that's what Gwenog wanted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Viktor and Ginny snitch_snatcher 2018-02-20 03:25 am UTC (link)
	Definitely very close. Though a bunch of teams are going to be a bit off center from what happened, even if they're not the teams who lost someone. Aiming for it, yes. I do know you'll make Gwenog proud. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Viktor and Ginny thelittlered 2018-02-20 06:32 am UTC (link)
	I'd be surprised if they weren't, if we all weren't. But we'll get through it~~, right?~~. Thank you, Viktor. (Reply to this) (Parent)
