3rd Match: Slytherin vs Hufflepuff

[❀Tea❀]

That's because you knocked her off the broom. She's still recovering and obviously not thinking straight.

[Jammin Jenny]

It's not as bad as Kadin

[Cat]

Suzanne! Suzanne went after Jenny!

Just went to check how old the author is, thinking she was some just out of college millennial. Nope. 39. Sheeesh...

Also, these guys are connected, we get it already, with the burning at the sight of his name & the footsteps in time with heart beat &the passing out on seeing him & dreaming of his room & the going from ‘he’s going to rape me’ to ‘I want him to kiss kiss kiss me’ in a millisecond & the feeling her die across the campus and bringing back to life by the power of mehness. I don’t need electric current on touching too. WE FREAKING GET IT ALREADY!!,

Kaden was like 100p! (ETA, I’ve not read a t, to be clear. Nor do I want to)

Celia (my kindle) is telling me I’m only 25% through....

[Jammin Jenny]

We're neck and neck

[Cat]

On the plus side, if we break quaffle, we can probably use it for “secret club”

[Jammin Jenny]

true

[Cat]

Oh for the love of...!

Is it really appropriate to have sexy times on a skanky mattress at the bottom of a secret tunnel when you are on the run / hiding from weirdo murdering madmen after the McGuffin???

Rilly??!!

[Suzanne]

Hufflepuff Reserve announcement

Feeling SOOOOOOOOO relieved she is not longer a beater reading the above book (and perhaps slightly curious) - Suzanne is this time substituting in as a chaser for Sandy.

I'll be in for at least 24 hours - Sandy has some life events that she needs to help with - she would MUCH rather be on her broom. Anyway - please note that right now it is for 24 hours and we'll let you know tomorrow if it is extending - is that ok?

And um...Cat, next time I'm on the run from a weirdo murdering madman, I'll let you know about the sexy times.

[Cat]

Argh! Why didn’t the weirdo murdering madmen just kill them??!
I liked the madmen! They seemed sensible , but then they blew it by not killing the idiot pair.

Which doomed me to read

Persephone and Aaron rolled around on the hard earthen floor like two animals, groping at each other between ferocious kisses, trying to get closer and closer to one another while desperately tugging at the clothing that was keeping their pulsating bodies from uniting.

[Suzanne]

oh.....wow

[Cat]

I take it back. Weirdo murdering madmen are very very stupid.

If there is a prophecy/curse about the end of the world, wouldn’t you make sure that once you have the agents of the curse in your control you’d make sure they aren’t in a position to inadvertently trigger said curse?
Yes?

These dudes? Nope...

Le sigh

Le big sigh

[Ora]

I find I just have to laugh at the ridiculousness of the book. It’s that or cry at having to complete it.

🤮🤮🤮

[Cat]

I’m hanging on to the hope of using it for tasks..... I think I’m at three possibles so far

[Cat]

@71%. What the actual fuck??? The last thing this mess of a book needs is THAT thrown in! Jeez

[Jammin Jenny]

Sorry guys...

pink title on cover...

[Cat]

Amanda sees Jenny heading towards her, a look of grim determination on her face. Hufflepuffs admire that, so it's with reluctance that she punches the quaffle out of the air, foiling the goal

Finished The Last Ever After, breaking the quaffle at L

And I think we are all grateful to Amanda for putting us out of our reading misery!

[Jammin Jenny]

Thanks Amanda!!

[Cat]

Oh, and note to Hufflepuff keeper: at risk of being made to read #2, do NOT break the quaffle at A!!!

[Tina ❣]

Hufflepuff Keeper Player swap/Line change

Letting you all know that Tina (me) will be replacing Amanda as Keeper for at least 48 hours

[Tina ❣]

Does anyone know what time this match will actually end? Is there a countdown timer or something?

[Jammin Jenny]

I believe it ends on the 15th, so I think the snitch will be released sometime that day

[Tina ❣]

Thanks Jenny. What timezone are we following?

Hoping to have a countdown clock ready soon. Still nailing down times. Someone has to be availabke to send the clues and be around to answer questions, etc.
