Quidditch Conspiracy?
Ok, so I may be a flying messenger god but with my small frame there is no way you will ever catch me out there on a broom zooming around with angry steroid-using, hormone raging, chemically imbalanced kids who have gone off the deep end to be ‘in the game’ no matter what house they are in. As if the game wasn’t dangerous enough; Is it possible someone has been tampering with the equipment?
The rise in injuries and close calls in the matches has risen even for Hogwarts standards. Like the Evelyn Shepard/quaffle to the head incident or the Jimmy Wilkes flying into the stands debacle...OR the collision of Slytherin Keeper Sierra Greingoth and Evelyn Shepard yet again.. But who would do such a thing, and what would be their motives? Are they out to get the She-Snake or just using the sport as an excuse to get rid of another group of students? *cough Borr’s Party is an excuse to for human sacrifice most likely to feed the large man cough*
There are many suspects and all of them have HIGHLY believable circumstances that would lead me and my godly cohorts to believe they are behind this. The first and most obvious would be Professor Lafay. The dragon-lady gets blamed for a lot of things recently but hey let’s face it, she is scary! Not to mention the fact that my friend Thoosa reported on the ‘special trip’ the Potions Mistress made to the broom shed not too long ago. All I’m saying is she didn’t just conjure up that Beater’s bat she has been helicopter-ing over her head at the matches.
Another likely culprit would be the Quidditch official and flying professor, Mr. Vindictus. He doesn’t even need to break into the broom shed. But what would be in it for him? Yes he would be out of a job officiating matches but he wouldn’t have to worry about students messing up his perfectly manicured pitch or having to repair student-used school brooms. He is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
And last but certainly not least, the oh-so-innocent School Healer Madame Moretti. What nurse likes to sit in an EMPTY Hospital wing? She obviously needed the business so it isn’t hard to imagine her breaking into the Broom shed and tampering with the brooms and quidditch chest. It must get mighty boring in there for someone to risk the lives of children.
So this warning goes out to all of you, especially those who for-some-reason risk your lives for a game: WATCH WHERE YOU’RE FLYING!
