I have to say, 24 really doesn't feel much different than 23. Well, aside from Maybe next year. 25's supposed to be one of those big birthdays, so that should feel different somehow, I suppose.

But my friends and teammates sure know how to throw one hell of a party. Cheers, mates. Now we just need to defeat Ballycastle next week, and life will be good.

So, I suppose after everything that's happened today, this isn't so terribly important, but your fiancee asked me to be one of her bridesmaids.

Here's hoping these changes take care of all the terrorist problems this nation is facing.

You. Me. Pub. Now.




I'm so sorry.

I hate being sidelined by an injury, and it's worse knowing this is all my fault. I picked the target, I was the stupid one who thought we could take her. I could have gotten us killed. It's a miracle Chambers is doing as well as he is. I don't know how she could know it was us, but I'm terrified of what she'll do if she finds out.


And the nightmares of drowning--
Ten years without them, and now, because of one damned spell, they're back.
I need to get in the air, to get my mind off things, and they won't let me fly until I'm fully healed.
And I can't tell anyone. Chambers is the only one I could tell, but I can't--

Just a few more days. I just have to make it until they let me back at practice.

My condolences to the Minister's family.

We've got a match coming up on Tuesday, against Holyhead. Should be interesting.

[Chambers]
And I could still get tickets. What do you think?

Just to let you know, I'm going to try to tail that Lestrange woman after practice on Monday. I have to go to Diagon anyway, and I want to see if I can find an opening for us to attack.
I'll be careful. I just wanted you to know, in case something happens.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

Right, well, I'm Irish, I'm allowed to be overly enthusiastic. Especially since morning practice was replaced with publicity. We had someone from the Prophet and Witch Weekly and a few other publications on the pitch. Perhaps something to do with the fact that our mascot is the leprechaun. It just screams St. Patty's.

It's not that I don't like the media. I just prefer Quidditch to taking ridiculous pictures and being interviewed.


But it was nice having the rest of the day free. I just had an early supper with the family. I'll never get tired of corned beef and cabbage.

I love these moments, the week before a match. Longer, harder, rougher practices. More drills, running maneuvers, honing our senses. We must spend more time in the air in the week before a match than we do the rest of the month. It's exhilarating. There's really nothing like it.

And if you haven't got your tickets for Sunday's match, I suggest you get them soon! It's no Kenmare vs. Ballycastle, but it'll still be worth your time!
