Dear diary, the Quidditch match just ended a couple of hours ago, I still can't believe it lasted more than a day! It was a spectacular game! The Thunderers played against the Warriors, we didn't know but it seems that these two teams really dislike each other, and the fans are even worse.
So much so that we were the only ones in the central part of the stadium, the other spectators divided the stadium in two. There were even Aurors at the boundaries! and that wasn't even a very important game for the league... I can't imagine what it will be like when they compete for real…
It was very exciting, especially the Haka dance. It was a bit scary, but I managed to record it all. It seemed like the intention was to intimidate the opposing team, but since both teams did the dance it was doubly scary.
By the way, dad had to enchant the recorder once again, it seems that in places with so much magical concentration the machine stops working if it's not enchanted continuously. The red-headed threats wanted dad to teach them the spell to be able to use electrical equipment and Muggle machines at Hogwarts but dad refused, or so it seemed, because when I turned around I thought I saw him wink at the reds. I don't know, maybe I'm imagining things…
Anyway, I have the video for Anna and watching my first Quidditch match was great! The best part is that dad decided to bet that the warriors would win by only 10 points (dad decided to listen to the twins) and they were right! We won a lot of money and dad decided to split it among all of us.
The reds' faces were very amusing, they looked like they were about to worship my dad like a god. Then I was told that they had something like a gift for knowing the results of competitions, more like a hunch, they had tried to use this gift to help their family but neither of their parents believed them, despite having proven it on several occasions.
They were much happier that dad trusted them than the money they had won, it saddens me a little that very few people have faith in them. The few times I had seen the reds with the rest of their family it seemed like they were treated a bit less, as if they couldn't do anything right and only spent their time playing, despite the great talent they clearly had, especially in potions, but that wasn't the only thing they excelled at.
They were both very creative and quick-thinking, they were the most open-minded people I have ever met and treated everyone equally. I sincerely hope that they manage to find true friends in school who appreciate them just as they are.
See you,
Bye.
