Summer is coming to an end. The season comes to a close and we look to new beginnings. Soon, the children will return to Hogwarts. The new Quidditch season will begin. Shop owners will put out new merchandise. Families will grow. And so on, and so on.
Now that Quidditch Team Trials are over, I put this to you new (and old) professional players: with great power comes great responsibility. What will you do with your power? Will you let the media run amok with your image, or will you use your image to inspire such change for a better future?
Or, on the monetary front, will you use your image to help further business? To inspire economic blossoming? To therefor provide jobs to the jobless, to stimulate the economy, and to put a profit in the hands of struggling merchants? Or did you not realize you had such power?

Perhaps I have been doing my job for too long, but there are times that I cannot seem to convince myself that an 'elephant attack' is too absurd of a reason to explain a demonstration of accidental magic use in Muggle London. It seems I have a secret yearning for creativity, and perhaps that I've grown bored with using reasonable excuses.
A friendly reminder that the World Cup is quickly approaching. If you are attending, do take the time to support your local and international vendors for souvenirs, snack foods, and team promotional merchandise (otherwise known as 'spirit wear').

What a lovely event hosted by the Carrows. I couldn't have been happier to have such a worthy cause to donate my money too.
The women, of course, looked exquisite (especially you, my Lady Alice). How it is that I've come to find a community of such gorgeous women, I will never know.
I do hope everyone enjoyed their evening, and got home safely. I know I had a splendid evening in the end.

Shall we run, tomorrow night? I've cleared my schedule.

I have never actually considered buying a Quidditch team. It seems like it might make a good investment, provided to the team did well. My interest has, instead, been behind the scenes.
Every year for the Quidditch Cup Final, there are a fair number of merchants who have interest in selling their products - food, team merchandise, memorabilia, camping supplies, and so on. Oftentimes these merchants aren't prepared for such a large event financially, which allows for an investment. I loan a fair amount of money to a merchant so that they might produce their products in time for the Finals, and collect a tidy percentage of the profit upon turnaround. It is quite a rewarding adventure, although one might say it is a bit like gambling. I only benefit if the merchant does well. So, I try to make sure that I do my part in assuring that the merchants succeed.
If you're attending the Finals this weekend, do stop by Lady Liza's Loot for a souvenir. Her team jerseys are all the rage this year.

Do you and your lovely family have plans to attend the game? I might have a few extra passes available, if you are interested.
