Really well done

Harry and Hydra! That was well snitch the way you took down the Professor like that. I can tell you were practising over the holidays.

Professor Hooch looked surprised, too, didn't she?

It's not easy to work in pairs, either. I mean, Parvati and I have a sort of advantage being twins, but we still have to practise if we're going to do something in coordination, like the movement for Nagini and that.

Anyway, it was really well done, especially you, Hydra. You make a nift team.

I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

You know, I thought there was something that felt sort of wrong about what we were doing last night, and I've just realised. It didn't feel like duelling at all. More like attacking or

or maybe it should really be called Ambush Club now, if this is what we're going to work on.

I mean, I know it would be good to be able to work together to defend ourselves, but the way we were doing it, it seemed like it was all about outnumbering someone you want to attack.

And what if we're learning what we ought to do if one of the Carrows goes spare?

I'd be helpless against either of them by myself. But with you, and Sally-Anne, and Neville, and everyone else that uses this really working together smartly, and not just popping off whatever comes to mind? Working in teams?

We might have a chance.

And I don't think they would fight fair. I don't think anybody would fight fair if it was for real. I know that I certainly wouldn't.

No, you're right about that. It was just the way it was set up last night. Like he was teaching us to jump each other.

But you're dead right we need to have a plan for times somebody attacks us. But that would be a different thing if it's a teacher than if it's students.

And if it's students, it won't be just one.

We should talk about it and practice, too, if we could figure out where we could do it in secret. Before it happens again.

I mean not just in duelling club. Because MPC keeps turning up to that. I wish they'd tell her to go away.
