Slytherin-Gryffindor match

[alt_percy]

I believe that the Slytherin team is to be commended for their victory this afternoon, especially their new seeker Harry Marvolo,* and the good sportsmanship that all Hogwarts students should display compels me to offer my congratulations. We will have a very exciting year if all the upcoming games are so suspenseful. Oh, and I am sure I speak for others, Mr. Marvolo, in saying that we are all relieved you managed to avoid falling from your broom and consequently suffering a serious injury (are the Nimbus 2000 brooms so difficult to control? It seems it gave you quite a rough ride for awhile there).



*Although I agree with the strenuous objections of the Gryffindor team that practically SWALLOWING the Snitch is not the same as actually CATCHING it. Nevertheless, Madam Hooch has made her ruling and--well, there you have it.
