Congratulations to all of the 'fresh meat' headed to the pitch for the start of what promises to be another exciting season of Quidditch.

Summer is coming to a close and soon the leaves will begin to turn. We must consider what the next step in our lives is: do we remain the same, average fools we are day to day, or do we push ourselves further?

Captains
You are at the pinnacle of your career: the leading force of your team, and an inspiration to all of the young Quidditch players and fans out there that would love to be like you. I put this to you: would you like to use that power for good? To further inspire the masses? If so, I have an offer for you.

Ms. Macmillan
Have you spoken to your employer, as of yet?

	A sponsorship. Surely there must be a cause you believe in. It would be a mutually beneficial business decision. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh? What kind of offer? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	How would you like to become the official representative of Heart and Sole of Portree? It is a line of shoes, specializing in athletic shoes. All you would need to do is simply wear the shoes from time to time, attend public appearances once and a while, and support the product. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mr. Pettigrew megmackattack 2012-08-25 06:09 am UTC (link)
	What kind of shoes are these? I don't mind supporting something if I like it. What would be the return on that, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

They are simply athletic shoes. Ones that you might wear anyway, on the pitch. Great for working out in, or in your case, conditioning.

If by return you mean how do I benefit, with your support, the shoes will be seen by a larger customer base and fans will want to buy them, as well. Heart & Sole is a company that I have invested my personal time and money into, so I want to see them succeed and profit.

	I could be interested. We could meet, and I could see them and try them so that I could be sure I could give a genuine testimonial. Er, if that's okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ms. McCormack _peter 2012-08-25 06:43 am UTC (link)
	Of course. I wouldn't have it any other way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How about at Heart & Sole itself, so you can get a feel for the establishment. Tomorrow evening? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The next step is NEWTs, Uncle Pete. Of COURSE there will be pushing. And revising. And summarising and colour coordinating and proof reading and flash card making. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	But yours ~~were like a billion year ago~~ are over and done with. You never have to worry about them again! That's the point, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. I mean, you don't need NEWTs to play Quidditch, but I won't be able to play forever... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocketrocket 2012-08-25 06:41 am UTC (link)
	Maybe you could write a book about playing, or something? Most retired athletes in the muggle world do pretty well since they make so much in their playing days, they can really just do whatever they like when they're done. Like probably eat all the desserts they didn't have when they were training. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was thinking of saving to take part ownership with mum in Portree. I don't think I could let go of Portree. Not fully. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Yes! Only it's also kind of sad that it's my last year AND my best friend isn't there. But then I won't have to leave home for so LONG all the time, which would be better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What is wrong with grown ups? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nothing, I just don't know if I'm ready to be responsible ALL THE TIME. What if I just want to have a lie in or go down the shops with my friends or have ice cream for breakfast? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I still have days like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What kind of offer? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Mr. Davies _peter 2012-08-25 07:01 pm UTC (link)
	Simply, mutual business proposition. How would you like to become the face of a local eating establishment? You simply have to promote their establishment when asked, eat there about once a month (food will be free), and occasionally make appearances at an event. There will be monetary reward for your services, of course. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Pettigrew gwenjonesy 2012-08-26 04:15 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not interested. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Ms. Jones _peter 2012-08-28 01:00 am UTC (link)
	What a shame. I would have thought you would enjoy the pleasant reputation that being a spokesperson would give you. And the increase to your salary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Nothing too out of the ordinary, when you consider that it is quite commonplace in the Muggle sporting industry.

I was hoping that you would be interested in becoming the spokesperson of Madam Malkin's Robes. You would be expected to wear her robes, occasionally, of course, though you would receive them free of charge. You may be asked occasionally to make appearances in the shop, and to speak only favorably of the merchandise. You will be paid handsomely for your efforts.
