Whoever said that writing your thoughts down in a journal is therapeutic was a moron. Look, I've written an entire sentence and don't feel any better.
I can't believe we lost to Hufflepuff. To Diggory, of all people! Now, I'm sure he's a very-erm-lovely person, but he's not exactly the fastest broom on the market, is he? First game lost, to Hufflepuff.
The year was going so well, too. My last year in school, easy classes (like I'm going to need N.E.W.T.S for anything), an outstanding team, and Katie.things were so good. I was so sure nothing could hold the team back, not this year, no, not when it was my last chance!
We would have won it. That's what really gets me. We almost had it; if it weren't for those goddamned dementors. The only reason they're here is because of Potter, because Potter is important enough to have a crazed mass murderer after him. And, ironically enough, Potter is the most affected by the dementors. If only he hadn't fallen of his broom.god DAMMIT!
I shouldn't blame him. I know it's not his fault. Katie reminded me of that, before she left to check on him. And I like the boy, really I do. A natural if I ever saw one! Hasn't lost us a game yet, until now. I suppose I shouldn't be too hard on him (though it might be a little hard to let got of something like this), third year on the team and only lost one game.even Charlie Weasley.
Do you know what, I am feeling a bit better. All is not lost. We have a good team and, with a bit of luck, we can still pull this off, can't we? If Hufflepuff loses to Ravenclaw (which we all know they will, I mean, it's HUFFLEPUFF), and if Ravenclaw loses to Slytherin, and if we beat both Ravenclaw and Slytherin with a sufficient margin of points.it sounds like a lot, but it's doable.
We'll need to practice extra hard, of course. Perhaps I'll increase the weekly practices once we're back in the game for sure. The team won't be too happy, of course, and Katie'll probably deny me physical contact for about a week or so, but they'll see my reasoning, once we win.
