The entirety of the Prophet offices have been buzzing since word came in of the attack this morning. There hasn't been anything similar to this in awhile, so it's obviously important news here. I tried to get the Editor to let me go investigate for an article, but of course all I got was the usual, "Stick with Quidditch, Dunstan." I'm starting to wonder if maybe I should just start taking things into my own hands.

I can't help but worry for that poor boy. How worried he must be, and how horrible it must feel to have everyone know, but be able to do nothing. According to what I've heard around the offices, the student is in fact a Muggleborn, though they skirted over that in the article. A Muggleborn, in Slytherin... I can't help but be surprised. Knowing that House, they aren't making this experience any easier on him, poor lad.

	What's wrong with sticking to Quidditch, Bee? As for the poor kid ~~he's only two years older than Abby!~~, I'm pretty sure Minnie won't allow the kids to mob him. Hogwarts is a good place to be. Isolates him from the press and...oh. Foot in mouth disease again, huh? Sorry. I was thinking of Skeeter and the like. (Reply to this) (Thread)

You know I love Quidditch, Oliver, especially since it means getting to be with strapping wizards such as yourself on an almost-daily basis. Sometimes I just wish I could write about other things, like my Dad did.

Minnie- Merlin, I'd forgotten about that silly nickname of yours. But yes, I'm sure she'll keep him safe. And no need to apologise, I'm fully aware of the shortcomings of some of my ~~idiot~~ colleagues.

Oh, you really know how to aim right toward the ego but fact is, Quidditch really is exciting. Did you know it's sort of an analogy to everything in life?

How can you ever forget about silly nicknames I give to people? By the way, surely you haven't forgotten how she got it. My first encounter with far too much butter-beer and me offering a cat-animagus cat-nip. Please tell me you recall that at least. Just so I can ask you to forget it again.

	Well now I'm just dying to hear this analogy. Care to share it with me over lunch soon? We can even make it an official interview, as I'm sure the wizarding community would love to hear your theory. No matter how much you try, I will never forget the story of you and the cat-nip. I'm certain Minnie won't either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, it's not one analogy but rather sort of a life style. Give me a real life example and I find you a Quidditch analogy. I should go to quiz shows on the Wizarding Wireless. Apart from that I doubt the wizarding community cares about my analogies. Neither will I. The following detention was of epic proportions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ah, I see. It still sounds rather fascinating. Either way, I would love an interview with you. Otherwise, how will I be able to live down the blokes at the office perstering me about how I can't get an interview with the Puddlemere captain even though he's my friend? I promise not to mention anything about butterbeer and catnip in the interview, and it involves a free lunch! What strapping Quidditch player could turn down a free meal? All that endless practising you do, you must be starving!

	Food and meeting you? You spoil me. How's Friday for you? For some inexplicable reason the team refuses to practice on Friday evening, so I'm free. The short one has a sleep over at a friends, even doing some sort of creepy girly stuff. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Refusing to practise? I'm surprised you haven't gone and made it mandatory even though. I'd love to, in any case. If you want, I can stop by your place first and try to get your telephone to stop beeping? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...how does that involve food? Just kidding. I'll make something and we'll have dinner on the roof. Don't you dare go on a diet or something equally ridiculous on Friday. You will eat what I cook and that's it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oliver, how long have you known me? Trust me, I'm not the type to diet. Never have, never will. My Mum always said I move around so much that I need to eat, otherwise I'll turn into a stick! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Your mum is a smart woman. Fancy Greek food? Aubergines and stuff like that? Well, if you don't fancy it now, you will after you tried it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
