Good show, everyone

who was on my team. It's too bad we were just a little too slow on that last challenge but no harm done.

Zabini, Parkinson, Li, Macmillan, Bundy: excellent job taking each of your groups in hand. And Sandoval, Goshal, Nott, Bones and Whitacre: really, really well done. I've already passed on my thanks to Durand, Stoyanov and Larsen for their contributions.

Wynn-Davis, Archer: better luck next time, but good efforts. To everyone else on our team, again--very well done, indeed!

Yeah, it was perfect having someone from Durmstrang who could tell the other one what we wanted. Real time-saver, that.

I lost count of the Hufflepuffs. Marvolo was taking them all on, anyway. Though if I'd known Perks was going to get him Krum right off, we might have snapped him up instead.

I thought Bundy did all right, actually. She does tend to surprise, it's almost annoying.

As for Sandoval, Teddy's not half up for a challenge, is he? She's Lana's sister; she's not going to let him get anywhere near her, if she's got any sense. No offence to Nott but it's a Spanish thing, you know, traditions and all.

Malfoy's really really cross with Finnigan, though. I can see his point, of course, but it's not like Seamus meant for Weasley to get himself seriously hurt. He wanted their team to win as much as anyone.

Still, their trouble was to our advantage, wasn't it?

True. It was a shame we couldn't have got Krum.

But what I meant about the Hufflepuffs was all the third year ones we got stuck picking up. Not just Wynn-Davis, who was well useless, but Montague and that Carmichael. I suppose Bones and Goshal were fine, but in the same way paste is fine. A good charm would do better.

Is that true about Sandoval? Hm. It can be dangerous, throwing a block up in front of something Teddy wants. That could be interesting. Do you really think she'd say no? I suppose I could hint around that Marvolo's really more keen on her than it seems. That might get Teds to let it go.

Finnigan cocked it up today, and no lie. I'd thank him, except that would annoy Draco.

I thought you wanted to let Draco have most of the Slytherin lot, though! You said Thursday, anyway. If you wanted to change tactics you should have said so.

I would have thought Marvolo'd signed his own warrant with all the Gryffindors he was snapping up. I reckon sometimes it's just helpful to have people you can send rushing off into danger.

If she doesn't say no, she's risking an awful load of trouble with her family, that's for sure. Still, she's also Lana's little sister, so he might be more at risk than he expects if he pushes.

Oh, I have to go--Lares Tamblyn wants to talk to me.

Anyway. Good show today, Zabini.
