IO to Hogwarts Students Only

[mc_mike]

Even though Ravenclaw kicked their arses last game -- thereby giving us our only bleeding pathetic win (ruddy fluke, that was, though I wouldn't blame you lot if it was a sympathy loss, yeah), Hufflepuff's the odds on favourite tomorrow. Which means that the rest of you lot out there - unless you're a badger yourself - should be placing your money on Slytherin, so as to fill my pockets come collection time.

Tony, Terry? I reckon I'm feeling a mite celebratory.

Put one down for me as well - on Hufflepuff :D

Right. Turpin for Slytherin.

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

Not what I said there Michael!

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

Funny that. Looks a hell of a lot like it to me.

My money is on the house of the Badger. The yellow and black. The team captained by Zach Smith. I, with Suze's permission of course, will be sitting and cheering for them next to here.

Nice try though Mike ;)

Trying to steal a share of my winnings, aren't you Turpin. I don't make exceptions for just anyone, I'll have you bloody well know.

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

I'll have you know that money has nothing to do with it. I am rooting for Hufflepuff for my own selfish reasons.

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

Any of these reasons strategic in nature?

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

Strategic?

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

If you've any special information, made your own charts and spent more than a half hour dissecting previous games and manouevres, I'd call that strategic, yeah. If so, I think you should share those, I do.

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

Would you believe me if I say my strategies had nothing to do with charts, dissected games, or strategies of the Quidditch variety?

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

Not a likely chance in hell. Then again if you said it had something to do with tossing a coin or it based on colour or smell or good looks ... nope, still wouldn't believe you.

What gives then?

It has nothing to do with Quidditch and everything to do with taking chances of another type actually. And that's all you're getting right now Mr. Corner! ;)

Private to Turpin

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

That's it? That's all you're giving a bloke to go on? Don't believe you, nope. You've some inside information and you're not spilling, that's what I think. Watch me sob over here in the corner, yeah?

Private to Mike

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

Sorry, but yeah, that's it. And I haven't a drop of inside information. But I will watch you sob.

Heartless. You've taken my fragile ego and Reducto'd it into a million little miniscule pieces that'll never be properly fixed. Do me a favour, yeah? When people are going on about how I'm the shell of the wizard I used to be, don't rub it in too much, yeah?

Private to Mike

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

Dramatic there much? ;)

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

I need to give you permission to join us now, do I?

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

If you want me, of course. I could sit with Corner and watch him drool over the money he thinks he'll me making. But I'd rather sit with you.

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

Of course you can sit with us. Duh.

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

Well I didn't want to assume!

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

Good show, Lis! Badger pride!!!

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

Well, they are my favourite house other than my own! I have to support those I care about :D
