I do believe the Tornadoes are going to blow through the Falcons on Saturday. Completely bring them down and leave them in shambles. And I'm not just saying this because my husband is a Falcons fan. Sumpter's got umph behind his beater's bat, after all. And don't even get me started on Birch and Cleaver! But the big question should probably be...who has the best line up to make it to the finals? Tornadoes, Catapults...Magpies? Or, the stretch, Falcons??? Really, it could go any way.

Sports can be so unpredictable. Titles are based off of one measly game...almost seems unfair. And someone has to lose. I don't find it quite fair. Well, rather it's not a job I would take much pleasure in holding. You either do a fantastic job, or you fail. There's no in between when you get to the bottom line of it all. I like being in between...there's no pressure to be absolutely perfect when you work with the Floo system.

It's not based off of one game you stupid bint. Why the fuck else do you think we play so many? For fun?

We play for the title, to know that all of our hard work and training paid off in the end. And of course someone has to lose. It's a game, that's how it works. If everyone won there'd be no point to it all, now would there?

Well obviously it's more than just one game, but when it comes down to it in the finals, it is one game. If you screw up, it's done. There's no going back and fixing it.

Of course that's how games work. I'm just stating that that's not what I prefer. But more power to you if it's something you love.

It's the last game of a series. And yeah, if you screw up than you're fucked. That's why we generally like to not screw up, which is why we generally like to practice. Sometimes it's not about whether you did bad or good, it's about whether the other team did better.

So you prefer everyone comes out with a golden medal and a pat on the back, then? Hm.

Oi, mate. I know that the pressure of impending doom must be hard on you, but you shouldn't take it out on fans.

Impending doom?

You're clearly delusional.

I suppose we'll have to see.

Though I do understand the point you're making, consider the fact that one Quidditch final match can and will drive the players to the absolute pinnacle exhaustion. Deciding the cup by instead the best of two out of three would be going overboard on all accounts.

If you lose, clearly you're not better at all.

I'm with you on the Tornadoes.

I completely agree with you. Just because you lose one game doesn't mean the other team is better than you. I'm partial to tournaments. Best of three perhaps.
