Number of times Quidditch mentioned in one sentence: Two
- Spent whole summer devising new Quidditch strategy, this year we will win the cup, we must win the cup. Mum thinks I need a girlfriend. Some wizard escaped from somewhere, not very important as I have a Quidditch Cup to win! Sent owls to Angelina, Katie and Alicia telling them not to forget to practise…Mum got really excited she thought I had three girlfriends then wouldn't let me spoil her illusion by telling her they were my teams chasers…applied to Puddlemere United Quidditch team to play Quidditch after I leave Hogwarts this year. Picture of psychotic man on front of Daily Prophet, wonder who he is…ah well I have Quidditch to practise.

- Had nightmare that the whole team had forgotten their brooms and had to ride on the old school ones so sent out owls just in case they did. Went back to Hogwarts, Dementors raided the train, Potter fainted, thought for a moment I'd lost our seeker but then he was alright again so my new strategy is still in tact. Fred and George say they've been practising their beating over the summer…I didn't ask how but whatever training they've been doing paid off. Psychotic man is Sirius Black, some murderer or something like that that doesn't affect Quidditch. Dreamed I had a Firebolt and single-handed won the Quidditch Cup.

- We lost to Hufflepuff my life is over! Potter fainted during the match, Diggory caught the Snitch, Potter fell fifty feet, thought he was dead, even worse his nimbus 2001 got smashed by the Whomping willow. Team's gone to see him in hospital…think I'll go to the showers and try and drown myself. My last year to win the Quidditch Cup in Hogwarts and its all ruined by one Quidditch match and the Slytherin Quidditch team didn't even play, stupid Malfoy, stupid Harry, stupid tree, stupid weather, stupid Flint, stupid Diggory!

- Thank god for Fred and George, they've cheered me up! We're still in the Quidditch House Cup race! Nearly had to kick Harry off the team but thankfully he's taking some defence against the dark arts special training to help ward off the fainting fits…really is a good seeker if a complete jerk. Forcing team to do harder training sessions. If we're lucky we can still win the cup, it'll all depend on points though…I wonder if I can sabotage the scoreboard somehow…
Number of times Quidditch mentioned in one sentence: eighteen
- Harry got a Firebolt for Christmas but that know it all Granger got it confiscated because she thought Black would have sent it and was trying to use it to kill Harry! Of all the ridiculous ideas! How could a wanted man walk into Quality Quidditch Supplies and buy one? Absurd! McGonagall however didn't see my point of view and erm thought I needed to get my priorities sorted…so what if Harry gets bucked off the broom and dies…as long as he catches the snitch first! I must win this cup…WE must…yes…we…
Number of times Quidditch mentioned in one sentence: Twenty-Five
- We beat Ravenclaw and Harry didn't faint! Though I think he's fallen in love with the Ravenclaw seeker…stupid Cho. The Firebolt is a dream I must see if dad will get me one for Christmas…for the next thirty years! Mum sent me an owl asking if I had any more girlfriends…I didn't respond…Fred and George teasing me about it so made them do four hours extra beating practise for the Slytherin match. Still all depends on points, sabotage didn't work because Madam Hooch caught me and told me she'd disqualify Gryffindor if I tried again. Sent Fred and George on broom sabotage mission…they haven't come back yet.

- I DID IT! I WON THE QUIDDITCH CUP! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT…I mean…erm damn it. Well it's the first time in seven years, I'm so happy I'm going to cry! It's the best way to end my year at Hogwarts and I got a letter of acceptance for the Puddlemere reserve team! I can't believe it this is the happiest day of my life! Fred and George got detention for the broom sabotage mission, McGonagall caught them, and well at least we weren't disqualified. She wanted to win too. Am going to go join in the party now…heard Ron say something about me needing a girlfriend…he's as bad as mum!
