TREI
Finally took a break from the paperwork to attend my first game back since my return from Romania. And what a game it was! Kenmare v. Portree on the Kenmare pitch. Kenmare was pretty battered down and had two reserves up, but it was quite a game to watch. I wish I could've been up in the air listening to the teams communicate, both with their thick accents.

In the end, Portree pulled out a brilliant win, thanks in part to a slick catch from Dougal McBride. Job well done, mate!

And no offense to Kenmare, but Portree's Keeper is a lot prettier.

Almost makes me wish I would've taken a chance on Pro Quidditch seven years ago. Those dragons were awfully pretty though....

	Die in a blaze of glory or in a glorious blaze? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Both. Clearly. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You sometimes hallucinate the likes of dragons in pro Quidditch. The painkillers they give you at St Mungo's are bloody strong stuff. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Don't get me wrong, I've had my fair share of injuries thanks to dragons. But quidditch is bloody good fun, I feel like I missed out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sure there's a case of grass being greener, yadda yadda. You do wonder what might have been... hell, I still wonder what might have happened if I'd taken the offer from Heidelberg, or if I'd carried on as a Chaser instead of a Keeper... we're not immune from it either.

	Good point. Life is full of what-ifs, it seems. I'm half a mind to have a little Gryffindor Quidditch Alumni party. I miss you lot, it would be good to see you again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vindicovir 2012-12-10 06:06 pm UTC (link)
	Such is life, really. There's a surprising number of us heading out to Australia, especially if you count reserves. Wow, I only just thought of that. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Cheers, Charlie. It was a rather brilliant catch. Glad you could see it! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_charlie_ 2012-12-10 07:53 am UTC (link)
	It was quite the enjoyable game. Glad to see you on the pitch, mate! I can't believe I haven't seen you fly in seven years. You look brilliant as ever. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	missmegmack 2012-12-10 12:09 am UTC (link)
	Oh, I mean...I don't know about that is all. But thank you. Really. I'm glad you had a nice time watching! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_charlie_ 2012-12-10 07:54 am UTC (link)
	Don't know about what? Of course you are. It was a fun game! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missmegmack 2012-12-10 07:59 am UTC (link)
	About being amazing or whatever. I'm-me. But thanks! It was fun for me, I'll tell you that much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_charlie_ 2012-12-10 08:40 am UTC (link)
	And you are pretty amazing, so it fits! It was fun to watch! I can only imagine how fun it was to play. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missmegmack 2012-12-10 09:11 am UTC (link)
	People keep saying that, I have no idea what they base that on. Very fun to play! You play any Quidditch in Romania? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_charlie_ 2012-12-10 04:19 pm UTC (link)
	Facts, obviously. Only pick up games. There weren't enough of us out there at any one time to play anything seriously. I did a little chasing, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missmegmack 2012-12-10 07:00 pm UTC (link)
	Clearly not. I imagine you chase a lot with dragons involved, huh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_charlie_ 2012-12-11 05:41 pm UTC (link)
	I can source them. Chasing a dragon is very different than chasing in Quidditch. But both are fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missmegmack 2012-12-11 07:06 pm UTC (link)
	Love to see you attempt it. I can only imaging. Though if you ever miss a fly while you're here, do let me know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_charlie_ 2012-12-11 07:37 pm UTC (link)
	Perhaps later. There's not enough time or space for me to do so here. I'd love to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missmegmack 2012-12-11 07:40 pm UTC (link)
	That's what I thought. Good! We should plan one as soon as I know my practice schedule better for the World Cup. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_charlie_ 2012-12-11 07:48 pm UTC (link)
	You thought that I would need pages upon pages of space? Good, because that's what I meant. Sounds lovely. Perhaps I can help you practice a little. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missmegmack 2012-12-11 09:19 pm UTC (link)
	No, I thought you'd have a hard time coming up with a list. That does sound good. Can you still toss a quaffle about, even though you're a Seeker? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_charlie_ 2012-12-11 09:27 pm UTC (link)
	Of course not. You give me ample material to work with. Yeah, I learned in Romania. Not much use for a seeker in a pick up game. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missmegmack 2012-12-11 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	I wouldn't begin to know how to answer a statement like that. Well, then a pick up game might be fun. I have some rings near my cottage with some enchantments up. Usually I just charm some quaffles to fire themselves at me, but it would be much more fun with you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_charlie_ 2012-12-11 11:19 pm UTC (link)
	Just accept it, nod and smile. You're on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missmegmack 2012-12-11 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	Fine. Brilliant! Well...what are you doing at weekend? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_charlie_ 2012-12-12 12:15 am UTC (link)
	Probably playing a pick up game with you. Am I wrong? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missmegmack 2012-12-12 12:38 am UTC (link)
	No, you got it in one. Saturday afternoon then? Around 1? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_charlie_ 2012-12-12 12:50 am UTC (link)
	I just penciled you in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missmegmack 2012-12-12 01:39 am UTC (link)
	Pencil, huh? Wouldn't want to make it too permanent. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_charlie_ 2012-12-12 01:42 am UTC (link)
	I'm too afraid you'll change your mind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missmegmack 2012-12-12 01:45 am UTC (link)
	Why would I change my mind? I can't think of anything I would prefer doing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_charlie_ 2012-12-12 02:24 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, but apparently I stink. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missmegmack 2012-12-12 02:39 am UTC (link)
	You don't stink! You smell nice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_charlie_ 2012-12-12 02:50 am UTC (link)
	Haha. If you say so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	missmegmack 2012-12-12 03:01 am UTC (link)
	I do say so! Very much so. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Sorry I missed you during the game. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_charlie_ 2012-12-11 04:33 pm UTC (link)
	I didn't come down to chat afterwards, so it's no surprise that you didn't see me. Feeling shy, perhaps. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	apicturesays 2012-12-10 11:31 pm UTC (link)
	I want to hear more about the dragons, love. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_charlie_ 2012-12-11 04:34 pm UTC (link)
	I'd love to tell you about them! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm sure the dragons appreciate your sacrifice. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_charlie_ 2012-12-11 04:34 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not sure they know the difference. (Reply to this) (Parent)
