Team BB - French
Please let us win...
Team BB - without Julien and Alphonse - still in French
In my more distracted moments, I sometimes think I would like to be an Astronomy teacher. Or at least, to work with the stars. It helps one keep one's thoughts in perspective, I feel.
Well, everyone, with less than a week to go until the match, I am excited for what the outcome will be. Players and reserves, you have all been training very hard, and I cannot wait to show Hogwarts what a Beauxbatons team is truly capable of. Each and every one of you has a lot of talent, or you would not be here. What I have seen in terms of you all being desperate to play hard for yourselves and each other does you credit. Let us keep a confident and strong spirit going forward, yes? The next few days are more vital than those preceding any of our past matches, but I truly believe we can do this - otherwise, I would not be writing this now, and Coach Marat would not insist on working you the way she is. I don't know about the rest of you, but I do not see her as being the sort of coach who would so waste her time. We have faith in you, and all I can now ask is for you to have faith in yourselves.

On a lighter note, I am wondering what you all think we should do to celebrate Julien and Alphonse's birthdays. I think Alphonse would probably prefer a slightly quieter gathering than we have had for previous celebrations, but I confess I know Julien slightly less well. Sixth years, what do you think?
Of course, with Julien's birthday being before the match, we cannot let ourselves get distracted either. We should probably bear this in mind, also.
