IO to Hogwarts Students Only

[mc_mike]

Right.

The other day my brilliant girlfriend inspired an equally brilliant idea and I thought why the hell not give this a go. Be a right shame to pass something like this up.

I reckon there's a good bunch of you tired of all this colours team nonsense, yeah? Still trying to figure out a way to make the bloody weeks speed up so it's over? What we need is some old-fashioned competition, but not with points, detention, and all that other rubbish we could care less about. There needs to be something at stake. I'm proposing we set up a wager amongst the teams. With the exception of Teal -- all apologies you lot -- it's anyone's game and I've an inkling to make some orange juice.

As captain of the Purple Pooka Eaters, I'm expecting all my teammates to step up and take the challenge. What about the rest of you lot? Are any of you up to making these next few weeks interesting?

Oi, and if anyone's interested in a flutter on the Quidditch match tomorrow, let me know.

Editted: Listen up. Here's how the wagering will work - each team'll come up with parametres for the losing teams, to be agreed upon sometime within the next 24 hours.

Oi, mate, you know I'm for it. Whatever 'it' ends up being. What've you got in mind so far?

Also, as for Quidditch, I've an idea for a wager. Care to pick a side?

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

I've fuck all right now. I'm waiting to see if there's any more takers before we settle on parametres. You going with Purple to win then?

You're ruddy daft if you think I'm going to pick a team before I've bloody heard your idea. Out with it, mate.

Bloody hell I'm going with Purple, you wanker. My wager'll be on Mahogany. But yeah, I'm eager for parametres to be outlined, though I can't think of terms beyond the Quidditch match.

All right, but you're not going to like it. It has to do with the loser(s) swimming in the black lake, in the buff. It's never a bad time to go starkers, is it?

MICHAEL CORNER!!

That is not what I meant to imply. You know that betting is against the rules!

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Padma Patil!

It's not betting. It's fostering team unity.

What were you implying then?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_patil_padma/]

Yes, it is fostering ambiguous team unity through the usage of betting.

...and I was implying- that Orange would win, of course! All of our stats point to this veritable fact; it's a simple truth.

What're you on about? How could we make it more interesting?

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

It's called wagering, MacDougal. You pick a team, set parametres, and prepare to lose, see.

You in? Can I get you down for Purple as well?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_morag/]

Are you out of your ruddy mind? Why would I bet against my own team?

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

Purple, obviously.

I'm still deciding on the match, but perhaps I'll try again.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Bloody fine answer there.

Don't reckon your Seeker has what it takes to win?

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

You like to point out the obvious, don't you.


That was sarcasm, Michael. Pity you can't tell anymore these days.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_missgranger/]

You are encouraging betting?

[http://users.livejournal.com/__ron_weasley_/]

I think he's encouraging participation. Betting just happens to be a side effect.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_missgranger/]

Betting is betting, Ron.

I do wonder what he is thinking of, however.

[http://users.livejournal.com/lovegood_luna_/]

This only encourages participation, you know.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Bloody good thing you're on Teal then, isn't it, Lovegood?

[miss-ginevra.livejournal.com]

No way is Purple going to beat Orange. :p

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

You like your juice with pulp or strained?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_anthony_g/]

What're the terms?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_boot_terry/]

You on for tomorrow's Quidditch or this idea of Mike's, or Padma's?

I've got a term for the Quidditch wager, though you're not set to like it much, I'm thinking.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

For the match or for the teams? Since Teal's out of the running, mate, you're more than welcome to bet on one of the remaining three. Reckon Purple would suit you then, yeah?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_meg_jones/]

Orange. We're going to win because we've put out the most effort.

I don't quite understand Teal, but I suppose they've got their own reasons, whatever they be.



I'd like to bet on Hufflepuff, if that's alright. I hear our team is rather good, so we'll win.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Most effort so far, Jones. That could all well and change though and it bloody will.

Next to Purple, Teal's my favourite team, actually. Seems they've got the right idea.


Hufflepuff it is. How many Galleons you want to put on them?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_wayne_h/]

That's ace of you, Megan, betting on Hufflepuff.

Teal would be in ruddy better shape if more of our sodding members acted like Susan and I.
