I am going to be sick. I am going to be sick. I am going to be sick. I am going to be sick.

We can do this. Can't we?

[Seb - en français]

Mr. Almost-Hogwarts? Come here, I need a hug. I'm so nervous about this extra game

[/]

Today's game was quite the exciting, non?

Well done for both teams. Salem, this is the highest score for the whole tournament, did you know? Félicitations!

My bruises, they are all gone!

The show was surprising, yes? There are many more talents here than I had thought to see! Dominique and Jonah, you are my favourites.

My Maman writes wrote to say she and papa and my brothers all will come to my last game! Augustijn wants to try the haggis, though.

It seems so soon the end of the year and the final games are coming. Many strange, some of the times unnecessary things happen here, but there are things and people I will miss.

[Danax]

Like you

Thank you, for coming to visit me in l'hôpital. It was sweet.

I need to ask

[Prefects, Heads]

One of you control put Persephone Warrington to bed and hide her journal before Slytherin has negative points.

Insulting my school is one thing and sadly happens often but homophobic things and things against muggleborns are not acceptable. They are not worthy of your school.

I am trying not to take my bat to her.

My team, j'adore so verying much!

Hogwarts, it was so nice to beat play against you once more!

[Beauxbȃtons - en français]

I love YOU ALL and I love when we BEAT THEM and I love QUIDDITCH!!!!

Thank you for being my most wonderful team and my friends. I could not ask for better or be more proud that you are mine.

I do not even care at ALL what silly lies the magazine writes. They cannot stop us winning!

[Friends]

There shall be a party tonight and you are all invited and everything is the wonderfullest!

[Max]

Come and kiss me.

[Private - in het Nederlands]

I am SO HAPPY! It was so easy for everyone to write us off in the beginning but I knew, I just KNEW we had more in us! And now Hogwarts has never beaten us, not once, and I played a much better game today. I'm maybe still not as far ahead as I'd like to be, but I have another year before I finish school, another year to improve for scouts and be good enough to get onto Seb's team a team. And I will. I WILL.

[Seb - en français]

I know you think I was mean with Aidan's hair, but is it so bad that you're not even going to acknowledge my birthday?

[Team fab - en français]

I guess we're never going to be fully seen as guests here while we're still so obviously The Enemy. We haven't even been back for twenty-four hours and already, there are reminders. I'm not upset, but a little disappointed, I guess. I can't imagine Headmaster Duarte tolerating this from our school had we been the hosts. Though at least it seems to be the exception, and not the rule?

But silly people aside, I wanted to thank you all for coming to my house, too. My family really liked getting to catch up, and I had so much fun! I think we should have another party like it after the tournament, where ever we finish.

I love that you guys are my team. I wouldn't change you for the world. Or all the cake in it.

[/]

There is sun in Scotland! It is lovely, and a nice way to be welcomed back. The lake here has never looked so beautiful.

C'est un miracle! My bat, he is returned! It was such a nice surprise, to find him in my trunk at home, after I was searching through it cinq times back at Hogwarts!

It is so nice to be home. Dex, you must come for a visit!

[Beauxbȃtons - en français]

To celebrate his return and because I will miss all your faces, Cassie and I thought we should have a party over the holidays! Everyone should bring something delicious from home.

[OOC: Added after this]

Cassie does not like my name for my bat. What should I call him then, if Mr. Smacky is not so good?

[Max]

Thank you for helping me look for my bat even if I was not finding it till now. It was sweet nice very gentlemanly for you to be doing. And I can give you a proper th

WHERE IS MY BAT?!?!?!?!



(OOC: Ten minutes later)

[Seb, Aidan - en français]

I know it was you two.


[Ladies of Beauxbȃtons - en français]

I think, while Seb and Aidan are busy lying about hiding my bat, you should gather things to throw at them for storming the fort.

Beauxbȃtons, Je t'aime!

Salem, it was très good to be playing you, especially Brooke! I am quite proud of these bruises, you shall be also. I hope you are all feeling better soon.


[Friends]

There are no crying, sick babies and there are victories and I am so happy!


[Beauxbȃtons - en français]

I am SO PROUD to be here with all of you. SO proud because we held our heads up and even if we started with defeats, we soldiered through it to show them what we are made of, to victory, and we did it TOGETHER. We haven't run away, haven't left our team, and even when we have had differences we get through them. I love ALL of you, and I couldn't ask for a better delegation to be a part of.

And I am baking for everyone because love is food and food is love.

I HAVE A SON AND HE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

Aidan, Seb, Roald, Vlad, Max Max: If you try to corrupt Gustave I shall have to taze beat you.



Maddie he is a darling non?

[Beauxbȃtons - en français]

YES! YES! YOU ARE ALL SO, SO WONDERFUL AND TALENTED AND I LOVE YOU ALL AND YOU AMAZE ME! I KNEW WE WOULD WIN, WOULD SHOW THEM ALL HOW GREAT WE ARE! And to end Hogwarts' winning streak, I am so proud! I am trying to be gracious about all this but that doesn't mean I am not so, so, SO ridiculously proud of you all and grateful that you are my team and my friends! I LOVE EVERYTHING AND ALL OF YOU ALWAYS.

[Danastien- en français]

I will steal you from the infirmary if the nurse does not let you out in time. We celebrate all together, we are a wonderful team! I am so proud of you and how brave you are!

[/]

I am so happy and proud of my team! And many respects to Hogwarts, you were good to play against! Elliot, you do a fantastic thing to come up so soon and play in this good way! Eddie, I hope you feel better soon also, you should be so proud of your friend for how she went!

[Danex- en français]

Is it silly to cry? I am so glad and so proud of my team!!!

[Friends]

Tonight we have celebrate! A party also for the birthdays of Alphonse and Julian and for our victory! You will come and there will be cuddles and wine and food.

And more cuddles! This room of requirement, after dinner. Come, please.

[Max]

Did you see me?! I am so happy!!!!!! Your friend Elliot, she plays very well also!

[Elodie - en français]

It's probably stupid to ask, but are you feeling any better today? I hope you got some sleep, love. You shall be in my bed tonight, no arguments. I left a chocolate croissant on the bedside table for you, and some ice mice and other sweets to make the day nicer. If you want we can fly later?

I love you.

[Alphonse - en français]

I hope you're okay, sweetheart. Is there anything I can do? I put a chocolate croissant out for you and also tucked some sugar quills in your bag. If you need a hug tell me, please?

[Didi - en français]

I'm sure you've already thought of this, but I think after everything that happened with these stupid wards at this stupid, horrible school, we should do something together as a team. Not practice, not "to get our heads in the game" for focus, but to look after each other and ensure we're all okay on a personal level. Yes, I think it will help our play, but I'm really more concerned about how Elodie and Alphonse are doing.

We could maybe make dinner, you and me? If the lake wasn't so cold we could swim. Or there is the movie equipment, we could borrow this and watch something altogether after our meal? What do you think, Captain? I'm sure you'll make the best decision for us. I just know we need each other right now.

[/]

Happy Birthday, Julian! I hope you are liking your presents and have a wonderful day with very good food!

[Beauxbâtons - en français]

Since I'm avoiding my transfig homework a bit restless I started jotting down thoughts about the last game and our next one to share with Anais, but then I figured maybe it would be more helpful to get everyone's perspective and see what we noted or might have missed.

Both keepers improved from their previous efforts, but we still have the best keeper in this competition. Don't start gloating now, Aidan.

Corrie keeps getting injured, do we go after her as an easy target or focus on the other two that can clearly do damage without her?

I think Salem's seeker was maybe a bit overwhelmed but if she stays in the starting position and settles into it I don't think we'll be able to take advantage of it.

We'll need to keep an eye on James at all times, he hasn't missed yet and to me that makes him our biggest threat. What do you guys think?

[/]

The game of this weekend was well played from both teams. Congratulations Durmstrang!

I am glad the weather is at least a little warmer now. I am wanting to swim again but not yet, I think. It is still the season for being inside reading stories by the fire and bothering team mates.

Because I miss the sun the way it is at home I am giving pictures of how it looks in the light in summer.

( Wave your wands! )

[OOC: Backdated to the carriage ride]

Bonjour, mes amis! I will be seeing you all again soon in a few hours when we land again at Hogwarts. I hope people had very good holidays with their families?. I was very much happy to be back with mine a while.
I think you were also happy to spend New Years Eve with my brothers and me, Dominique? Roland says bonjour of course, and to Dex also.

The gala was very much fun, especially to see everyone dressed up so!

Dex, will your calendar happen soon? Or when it is not so cold to take the pictures?

Thank you for the lovely presents I received for Christmas, also.

[OOC: Hers will be up eventually...]

[Friends]

I think it is good this school will now teach students about sex ed. It is important to know and Riley did not help at all. Besides they are aful at responsibility, these staff. Hopefully they will stop all thinking I am pregnant. But if the infants of Hogwarts do not leave me alone this term, I am going to use my lovely new ring on them.

[Roani]

How are you feeling? Would you want to go for a walk after the dinner tonight, maybe?

Yes, by walk I mean we will run or hit bludgers. But I refuse to swim in the lake at this time of year.

[Beauxbȃtons - en français]

Did you see? I had a SLEEP. In front of you all. Now give me a biscuit

[OOC: Backdated to late Wednesday night]

[Beauxbȃtons - en français]

What?!?!?!?! A POTION? How is that fucking right at all????

What will you do if my being drugged affects my performance or gets me kicked out of this tournament?

You could talk to me about these things you know.

This is not how you treat a team mate, let alone a friend.

[Beauxbȃtons - en français, sans Gabriel]

I am NOT going to hit any of you. I don't know if I can talk to him, but I don't want to be left alone right now.

I want cuddles, okay?

[Didi - en français]

I know you didn't know about this. I- I know it was just Gabriel. But-

I just don't want to feel like everyone will be on his side. I am the one he did this too. And I know I needed to slow down, I know it now, but this was not the way.

[Dex - en français]

I don't know ho The Squid, does it eat corpses? I need you for cuddles, please.

[Anais- en français]

I do not hate him, but I am not happy with him. I want an apology, and I want him to MEAN IT.

[Private - en français]

I just- what? Why would he do this?

We were talking and I know I needed to do less - I was agreeing to do less, and now-

I just. I don't know how to feel. I'm angry and upset and hurt but even so I know I feel better but I don't want to and what right does he have? I feel violated but I don't want to say so and make this a terrible thing for the team because I don't want there to be a big fight and division and to upset our chances but how am I meant to feel?

Why does he think he knows better than everyone? He is a child!

And I'm worried now that everyone will be on his side against my anger when he did this to me.

That will hurt most.




I can't wait to go home.

[Prefecture and heads]

Sorry that I missed the meeting of today. I was not feeling too well.

[/]

The career day shall be interesting, especially for meeting some of your parents.

[Katja]

Ik weet niet of dit van u, maar hoe dan ook je moet komen en met mij te delen.

--I do not know if this was from you, but either way you should come and share with me.

[/]

Dank je wel, Sinterklaas, voor al mijn cadeaus! Ik kan niet wachten om uw dag te vieren!

--Thank you, Sinterklaas, for all my gifts! I cannot wait to celebrate your day! [OOC - anyone can read this in their native language by waving their wands over the text]

Sinterklaas has come early, I must have been a very good girl!

[Private, in Dutch]

Just maybe not good enough. Didi has his Seven, Alphonse is realising he likes Eloise, Dex is with her Corbin, even. And I am all alone. Maybe Corbin is right and I am not to be happy because of last year. No one has even asked me to be their date for this gala, and I will not whine about this loudly on my journal so someone will feel sorry for me like Hogwarts girls. I do not need a date to be fabulous and have fun. It only would be nice, to be asked to something. To maybe be liked because I am Dani and not be talked about because I am foreign or busty or blonde or whatever else is wrong with me this week.

I'm so tired.

Tired of people here talking always and tired of being different and of everything being strange and tired of people thinking we are wrong for not being so familiar with their language and their ways.

I'm tired of people telling me what to do.

I'm tired of losing.

I want to be home already.

[Warded to Dex, in French]

Your boyfriend is horrid today knows nothing.


[Warded to Caer, in French]

I should not be surprised, but you are right.

[Warded to Elodie and Didi, in French]

I need you both, for cuddles.





[Warded private, in French]
I never meant to hurt them.
