Lifestyle Seminar, here today: Sport

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

The professor emerges from his classroom briefly. He has a pained look on his face. He posts a note on his door -- Lifestyle Seminar -- and retires inside once more. He goes to the kitchen table, bends down and lifts the roof of the (now quite ornate) pavillion. A small handful of white cotton garments shoots out of the pavillion, at considerable speed, and hits him in the face. One of the frogs inside croaks at him, at some length.

Look, you're cricketers. You're *supposed* to wear whites.

He is greeted by a chorus of furious croaking.

Because it's traditional. Cricketers wear whites. Who do you think I am, Kerry Packer? There is more croaking. Right, we'll let it ride for now, but you'll see.

He sets the roof back on top of the pavillion, and settles down to greet the students.

Okay, lifestyle seminar. Let's share some thoughts on how an interest in sport can make a difference to your lifestyle.

While he is speaking, the frogs -- fifteen of them -- emerge from the pavilion and take their positions around the table. Two of them are wielding popsicle sticks and wearing pads cunningly fashioned from cardboard, while others are throwing peas to each other.

Draco just stares at the frogs with his mouth hanging open. He'd never seen anything like it before, and he was a wizard.

"Is Lily ok? I've not seen her since Sunday?"

"She's fine. She slept over at my place last night, she was a little stressed out but she'll be ok."

Paige nods, "ok, thanks for looking after her, I shouldn't have asked her to come with me really."

"She would have gone to help you anyways." he says "She cares about you a lot."

"I care about her too, she's a really great person, I'm sorry about what happened in flight club by the way. But it proves how much you care about her. And I know you're a good guy."

Fight club? Is young Draco a boxer?

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

"Flight club sir, he was showing us how fly a broom"

She looks at Draco biting her lip, "you don't mind me saying do you?"

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

"I don't mind. It amazes me that more people don't know about flying."

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

I never quite got the hang of flying. It scares the willies out of me.

Ah, he mentioned flying in his essay.
*shuffles papers* Here we are. A sport called Quidditch. I looked it up in the Guide -- it sounds a little hazardous.
