Ernie Macmillan here!

Hullo Hogwarts. It's been a busy few weeks here, hasn't it! First trolls and now Quidditch! Wizard match, even before Harry Marvolo caught the snitch in his mouth!! Never seen that before!! I hope our match is as good as that - Go Hufflepuff!

It was my birthday on Wednesday. Mum and dad sent me some presents, and I sent a letter back for Pip and Laurie so they don't worry that I'm not there. They're only little but they both know that Bonfire Night the 5th November means ERNIE'S BIRTHDAY (in our house, anyway)! So it might make them sad that I'm not there. But I sent a letter, and drew a picture because mum can read them a letter but they can look at a picture themselves. I'm not really any good at drawing, but they're only little so they won't mind. I drew me and Susan and Hannah and Zach and everyone in our common room.

Right ho! Charms homework now!

I hope it isn't!! I don't think I could do another match like that so if Hufflepuff's was and then I had to play you I would be completely destroyed I think.

I didn't mean your broom going mental and that! Just the catching the snitch! I mean, it was exciting to watch, but I don't think Cedric would appreciate it if he fell off his broom too! And everyone would just say he was copying anyway. Maybe they'll name that move after you now. That'd be cool.

What would they call it though? The Marvolo Maneuver? The Marvolo Gulp?

Anyway I don't think anyone would do it by choice!!

[alt_ernie]

The Marvolo Gulp!!! Brilliant!! I think you should write to the Department for Magical Games and suggest that - it's ace!

[alt_harry]

Maybe I will! Only I don't think I'll ever do it again. I got scratched up and it wasn't very nice to be maybe upchucking all over the Quidditch pitch.

Oh yeah, I suppose that's true. At least you won though! And it could've been worse. I thought you were going to fall right off!

[alt_harry]

I thought so too!
