It is so bizarre to think that it is already nearly springtime. Whilst I miss seing what the south of France is like at this time of year - for it is certainly more green than where I grew up - there is something cool and brisk about Scotland by comparison. It makes rather a good, brisk walk or jog around the grounds at weekends, and I would certainly hate to miss that. ~~I'm already missing out on playing Quidditch this year, so I really need to keep up my physical fitness for tryouts.~~ Though, the slightly cooler temperatures do make a person want to run faster when they are wearing running clothes, so I suppose there is an advantage to speed training in that.

The more this year goes on, though, the more I miss playing Quidditch. The talk of a ground game only serves to remind me of that, really. I really fail to see how they could not have proper Quidditch games alongside the tasks this season - it just smacks of dreadfully poor organisation, if you ask me. I firmly believe that when it is the turn of Beauxbatons to host the tournament, they will do a much better job, have far more sensible tasks and have a tournament alongside it. Still, someone has to show the rest how it is done. It may as well be our school.~~Especially if our champion cannot~~

	You're right, the Highland weather is very good for running, especially in the mornings. It helps to keep your circulation going. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I do not know the science of it, but I do feel like it makes you want to work harder to stay warm. This is good for Quidditch training. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Yes that is why I like this weather it's very good for being active in it is better than summer for that because in summer I have to keep stopping because I am too hot and I need a drink but I don't get that problem at this time of year so often. (Reply to this)

Merci, Anaïs for making me miss home that much more, especially when I think I am spending the Spring Holidays here. I've never had a problem training for Quidditch at home, but then perhaps you girls just have it harder.

I agree. This has been poorly organized. Four Champions?!? Two from the home school. That is ridiculous. We could see some of the first task but hardly any of the second task and then they tampered with the score. Who knows what the third score would be. I feel like we have all been taken up to this forsaken place and the only good thing is meeting new people because the actual tournament is a joke.

~~You'd better not~~ What do you mean by that?

Beauxbatons
You know what, I'm past caring about having two Champions from the host school - it's just the day to day organisation that strikes me as being stupid, and the poor design of tasks. It's hardly like Hogwarts alone can be blamed for dumb scores - look at Karkaroff and the way he favours his school's Champion! At least Madame Maxime treats all four Champions the same and gives them the score they deserve.
