Welcome to being a Cubbies fan, where they break your heart and then Tom Ricketts asks you why you're crying. If you're looking for a few magical games for inspiration, watch the World Series from 2016. (Who knows when we'll see another one?)
If you need a model for the friendship between Anthony and Simon, you HAVE to look up BFF's Bryant and Rizzo (Bryzzo). They were one of the best things about that team.
As for the rally towels, most teams have them as a tradition. (In Pittsburgh it's called the Terrible Towel.) They were originally supposed to be a distraction for opposing teams.
I did not know how much I needed a baseball romance in my life so thank you.
I am so sorry to report that now that I am a supporter: The Cubs will never win a World Series again. I am a curse on teams. You think the last curse was bad? The curse for teams I support spans many codes.
Look what I did to Ferrari mate.
2022: championship contenders
Molly starts watching in 2023: Forgets to bring tyres to a pitstop.
It’s
 in one way, impressive 😂
But nah, I’m excited. I’m very excited.

Hey so I've had this in my drafts for well over a month, then that recent smosh mouth came out, rendering this near useless, but I'm still gonna post it cause why not.
Beginner's Guide to Smosh Seasonal Games
(For newer fans, even though no one asked. And yes I'm manifesting summer/winter games 2024, look away.) Mostly sourced from the Smosh Wiki.
1- Smosh Summer Games! (2015)
Tumblr media
1st trailer aired: June 27, 2015 ~ Finale: July 31, 2015 This was the OG that started it all! No theme, unless you count it being entirely held at a beach house. Very classic smosh vibes, inappropriate jokes, and queerbaiting galore, with 12 episodes total across Pit (2nd channel at the time) and Games. (tbh I haven't seen this one). This was held shortly after the 'main squad' was cast (Keith, N*ah, Olivia, and Courtney), and was Shayne's official introduction to the channel! Teams/Cast: Bananarama: Anthony (Captain), Lasercorn (David Moss), Courtney, N*ah, Mari Takahashi, Jovenshire (Joshua Evan Ovenshire). Jiggle Physics: Ian (Captain), W*s J*hns*n, Sohinki (Matt Sohinki), Flitz (Amra Ricketts). Keith, Olivia. Refs/Hosts: Shayne, Joe Beretta Winners: Bananarama Special Awards: MVP - N*ah, LVP - Lasercorn, Biggest Fail - Olivia.
2- Smosh Winter Games! (2016)
Tumblr media
1st trailer aired: Jan 30, 2016 ~ Final Ep: Feb 29, 2016 The first Winter Games! Similar classic vibes to the first, except by this time the 'main squad' was much more settled in and comfortable with each other, and the overall cast. Strangely, Ian and Anthony didn't actually participate in the games, but commentated (not sure why). Combo of actual competition eps and also videos for other shows aka specials (s-s-s-sleepover, put it in my mouth) that were winter games themed. 23 videos total across 2nd Channel (Pit) and Games. Teams/Cast: Snow Fleeks: Anthony (captain), Mari, W*s, Sohinki, Keith, Olivia, refs. Blue Balls: Ian (captain), Lasercorn, Shayne, Courtney, Flitz, N*ah, Jovenshire. Refs/Hosts: M*tt R**b, Joe Beretta, Sunny Peabody. Winners: Blue Balls Special Awards: MVP- Olivia, LVP- Joven, Epic Moment- Lasercorn, Biggest Fail- W*s. (Lasercorn got Epic Moment for dropping an actual fire rap during the *wrap* battle)
3- Smosh Summer Games: Camp (2016)
Tumblr media
1st trailer aired: June 25, 2016 ~ Final Ep: July 30, 2016 The first one to have a theme, extremely iconic, the vibes were starting to peak around this time with the main squad being almost fully settled in by this point. For those of you who do not know, back in the day Smosh had separate casts for main/pit and for games, and the seasonal games were one of the only series where they would consistently appear together, and were originally intended to be a bonding activity. This one was the first to really let those dynamics *shine*, and really have them interact in memorable ways. Also best challenges up until this point cause of the theme. 13 specials and 9 competition episodes across games and 2nd channel, this time accompanied by a few vlogs on Courtney's personal channel. Teams/Cast: Kumbayaaas: Anthony (captain), Jovenshire, N*ah, Olivia, W*s, Courtney, Sohinki Harshmallows: Ian (captain), Mari, Keith, Shayne, Lasercorn, Flitz, refs Refs/Camp Counselors: M*tt R**b, Joe Beretta, Sunny Peabody. Winners: Harshmallows Special Awards: MVP- Olivia, LVP- Sohinki, Epic moment- Ian, Biggest Fail- W*s (Sohinki had to leave early due to sickness and so automatically got LVP)
4- Smosh Winter Games: Again! (2017)
Tumblr media
1st trailer aired: Jan 31, 2017 - Final Ep: Feb 28, 2017 Longest seasonal games by far, lot of iconic moments and fun specials, featured CFM's 2nd ever appearance, and was also Boze's debut as a games member! Not much else to say about this one, it's a blast with a lot of classic moments. Oh, and it was the last seasonal games to feature both Ian and Anthony as team captains :,). 19 specials (Game Bang, Board af, hot tub truth or dare, etc.) and 8 competition episodes across pit and games. Teams/Cast: Spaghetti Yetis: Anthony (captain), Boze, Sohinki, Lasercorn, Olivia, Flitz, Shayne Dablizzards: Ian (captain), Keith, W*s, Mari, N*ah, Courtney, Jovenshire Refs/Hosts: M*tt R**b, Joe Beretta, Sunny Peabody, Sarah Whittle, Tanner Risner. Winners: Spaghetti Yetis Special Awards: MVP - Anthony, LVP - Jovenshire, Epic Moment - Shayne, Biggest Fail - Boze
5- Smosh Summer Games: Wild West! (2017)
Tumblr media
Trailer aired: June 26, 2017 - Final ep: July 31, 2017 WWIIIILLLLDDDD HWEST! Let me tell yall this one is ICONIC, for so many reasons, in so many ways. Filmed on an awesome location (a ranch in Nevada), great teams, the production quality was top-notch, and let's not forget the infamous bar-brawl fight choreography of the trailer. So many iconic moments its astounding. Damien's first seasonal games, and also the first to neither feature Anthony nor have team captains (instead of picking teams dodgeball style like they had done previously, this time the teams were picked via a lottery). 15 specials (maricraft, board af, etc.), and 8 competition episodes across pit and games. Fun fact, this season was filmed a week before the "Anthony is leaving smosh" video was released. Teams/Cast: Randy Bandits: Lasercorn, N*ah, Olivia, Damien, Mari, Ian, Flitz Cowbaes: Jovenshire, Courtney, Shayne, Keith, W*s, Sohinki, Boze Refs/Sheriffs: M*tt R**b, Joe Beretta, Sunny Peabody Winners: Randy Bandits Special Awards: MVP - Flitz, LVP - W*s, Epic Moment - Shayne, Biggest Fail - Jovenshire Shayne told his Epic Moment story on the pod, but incase you missed it: during a hangman competition he managed to guess a 2-word answer, with no letters on the board, on his first try. The answer was Wyatt Earp. Some out of context references: "MUNGE", "My name is Calamity Janet, and I am crazy.", "Sorry"×20, *wide shot of damien holding up his fist for like 3 minutes*, *Mama bird*, *shot in the chest* "Where's Anthony?"
6- Smosh Summer Games: We Blew It! (2018)
Tumblr media
Trailer aired: August 17, 2018 - Final ep: August 24, 2018 Folks, what can I say, they blew it. They had 10 dollars and a dream for this one, and they tried their best, but it is admittedly still the weakest of the Summer Games. Between airing later than any other, taking place within only a week as opposed to a month, having the least amount of competitions (5) and the least amount of specials (1 Smosh and Order), this one really is a last-ditch effort sort of ordeal. But make no mistake, it's no one's fault but Defy Fuckhead Media Inc.; in case you missed the Smosh mouth ep, the story goes that Defy simply didn't want summer games to happen that year, and gave M*tt R**b an eighth of the usual budget. Despite all this, I'm sure if you go back and watch it, the videos are actually really enjoyable with some fun goofs and special moments. The first games to not feature Sohinki or Flitz, and this time there were team captains, chosen according to the personal awards given the prior year. Teams/Cast: Inflatabulls: Jovenshire (Captain, previous winner of Biggest Fail), Mari, Damien, Courtney, Keith, Boze Balloonatics: Shayne (Captain, previous winner of Most Epic Moment), Lasercorn, N*ah, Ian, W*s, Olivia Refs: M*tt R**b, Sarah Whittle Guest Refs/Guest Judges:  Garrett Palm, Joe Bereta, Spencer Agnew, Tanner Risner and Tim Baker Winners: Balloonatics Special Awards: MVP - Mari, LVP - Damien, Epic Moment/Biggest Win - Lasercorn, Biggest Fail - W*s
7- Smosh Summer Games: Apocalypse! (2019)
Tumblr media
Trailer aired: July 15, 2019 - Final ep: August 16, 2019 APPOOOCALYPSSE!! This one ROCKS! Not quite as iconic as Wild West, but it's honestly up there in my opinion. The first and only summer games post-mythical, and a return to normalcy from We Blew It in terms of length, airing schedule, etc., probably because they'd managed to find a sponsor to help with the budget. This one had some greeaat specials, including Spelling Bee-kini Wax, Maricraft, Try Not To Laugh: Gauntlet (so many iconic bits from these tntls, and if I'm not mistaken one of Tommy's earliest appearances), and a lot of Smoshcast. Fun fact, Sohinki was actually invited to participate but was in Italy at the time, so Kimmy was cast as a guest participant instead to even out the teams. The first to have no team selection process or opening ceremony, instead the teams were pre-picked at random and revealed during the trailer. 18 specials and 8 competition episodes across Pit, Games, and Smoshcast. Teams/Cast: ToxiciTea: Jovenshire, Ian, Olivia, Mari, Shayne, W*s Mushroom Clout: N*ah, Lasercorn, Damien, Keith, Courtney, Kimmy Refs: M*tt R**b, Sarah Whittle Guest Refs/Guest Judges:  Joe Bereta Winners: ToxiciTea Special Awards: MVP - Joven, LVP - Shayne, Epic Win/Moment - Courtney, Epic Fail - Ian Fun little end note, Lasercorn, up until this point, had never lost a single season, and had been described for a while as having a 'Winning Streak'. That became a big running gag this season in particular, with Lasercorn describing his team as being 'Blessed by the power of the streak', while ToxiciTea claimed that was the year the streak would be broken. In the end, it was. On Twitter and other socials, the hashtags "#Breakthestreak" and "#Thestreakisreal" were used by the fandom to support either team. Overall super fun season with a lot of fandom involvement.
This took me way too long. Enjoy!

Thinking about Fred and George’s reaction to overhearing someone from Hufflepuff quidditch team talking about Y/N and just the boys jealous reactions they would have hearing someone talk about their girl like that

and then that causing them to play extra hard and rough during the game and when they get off the pitch the poor reader is confused and innocent, but they just want to make sure she knows that she is theirs and only for them and img I can’t pls feel free to use this idea I need it
Here you go! â˜ș
A cool February breeze brushes your shoulders as you climb the stands that surround the quidditch field. It was the first time since last year that you’ve been to a game. The Triwizard Tournament did take over all of the school events, but that didn’t stop the house teams from wanting to play against each other. After a discussion with Dumbledore, he gave the OK for there to be unofficial matches that anyone could attend.
You wrap your wooly black and gold scarf around your neck tightly and lean over the edge to try and catch a glimpse of the teams. It was Hufflepuff versus Gryffindor, which means you finally get to witness the Weasley brothers back in action. Slowly the crowd trickles in around you, murmurs of conversations that are immediately pushed to the back of your mind as you scan the field.
Your heart leaps to your throat as the pair of fiery haired twins come into sight. They were chatting with the other Gryffindor players with big smiles across their faces. The Hufflepuffs follow behind Cedric, who you are surprised to see. You had expected him to opt out, considering all that the Tournament put him through thus far. Yet he looks in high spirits, as always, with his head held high and strutting forward.
They pause at the edge of the field, their brooms in hand and standing proud.
—-------------------------------------------------
“Are you sure he won’t show?” Angelina Johnson asks Fred for the third time today.
“I’m sure,” he responds hastily.
They can hear the low murmur of the crowd from above as they reach the edge of the field. Clear skies with a slight breeze - a perfect day for quidditch, even if Harry didn’t want to join.
After the brothers hounded him for hours over the past week, they finally gave in once Hermoine lectured them. They knew he had his hands full with the tournament, but so did Cedric Diggory and he decided to play. He was their best chance at getting the snitch, and having Katie Bell replace him was not exactly increasing that percentage.
Angelina sighs and rubs her creased forehead. “I just thought he’d have a change of heart.”
“We tried to wear him down,” Fred says with a shrug. “Asked him about a million times.”
“Maybe even a million and one times,” George adds, then nudges his brother’s shoulder with his.
Once making eye contact, George gestures to the stands with a quick nod. Fred follows his gaze and catches a glimpse of you leaning over the stone barrier. A mixture of excitement and happiness swells in their chest as they both look at you. Your hair and scarf blowing in the wind, your arms tight against your torso. You never liked the cold, yet here you were, out to support them both. It meant more than they could ever say.
A few of the Hufflepuff players began snickering. Anthony Rickett and Michael McManus hold their brooms out, slowly rubbing the tips of them suggestively. “What I wouldn’t give to -,” the rest of the words were washed away as the crowd gave an encouraging cheer.
“Merlin’s beard, I’d give my last Galleon,” Michael laughs.
This was a background noise for the brothers, until the keyword of ‘Y/N’ is said. Both of their heads turn in automatic unison towards the conversation.
“As if you even have a Galleon,” Rickett retorts and shoots another hungry look your way. “I bet you Y/N would pay me after I’d have my way with her.”
Fred and George are both scowling, looking directly at the boys who continue laughing amongst themselves.
“She wouldn’t even look at you,” Michael taunts and swishes his hair from his forehead. “I bet you my last Knut that I could easily have her before you.”
Fred clenches his jaw, George mirrors him with closed fists. The rush of anger was beginning to rush through their veins the longer they eavesdropped. The excitement and happiness they felt just moments ago was melting away and being replaced by something else - something that made them want to run forward and smash Michael and Rickett’s head full force with their brooms.
“You really want to make that bet? I’ll try after the game,” Rickett says with a cocky smile.
Michael shakes his head. “You can try, but I’ll be sure to have her screaming my name behind the greenhouses before then.”
George’s breath catches in his throat as the imagery of you and Michael hits him. This boy’s greedy hands all over your delicate curves. Him tasting you. Him knowing how you sound when you’re trying to hold back moans. This was sacred. You were sacred to them, and he only ever wanted him and his brother to know these intimate things.
“You’re on,” Rickett snorts. “But who knows, if she’s as easy as I think, maybe she will take on both of us.” This time they both erupt with laughter, which almost sends Fred forward but George promptly stops him with a stiff arm.
Fred curses under his breath and digs his toe into the ground like an angry bull. Anger travels through his veins, his face a shade of red not too far from his hair. His pupils are tiny and fully focusing on the two who dare to speak about Y/N like that. He knew they couldn’t have you. That was never a question. But to stand there and make bets on who gets to capture you. Who gets to have you.
The twins look at each other, an understanding between them at once.
They’re going to pay.
—----------------------------------------------
The players are lining up now. You rub your hands together, breathing into them to try and bring back some warmth. Two of the boys from the Hufflepuff team kept periodically staring up your way. Surely there’s for someone in the crowd that they’re waiting for. It’s odd though, you could swear they’re looking directly at you.
Your mind drifts off as you focus back on the Weasley twins, both standing tall with an expression of determination across their faces. You take notice that they seem more serious than normal, but their competitive nature always brought out that side of them.
With a call from the announcer, both teams scatter off into the sky. The golden snitch is released and the game has begun. Rocking from the balls of your feet to the tips of your toes, you watch with a slack jaw as both brothers go rocketing across the field with their bats held with whitening knuckles.
Not too long after it starts, George hits a bludger off of a post and misses Michael McManus’s head by inches. Still trying to comprehend the close call, Michael was almost thrown off his broom by Fred who slams into the side of him.
“Watch it!” Michael yells shakily, then takes off to prevent Angelina from scoring.
The bludger finds Rickett this time as Fred hits it directly at him, making contact with his ribs. There is a loud thump and the announcer audibly groans with the crowd.
The ball wasn’t even on that side of the field, yet he was chasing down this now injured player who was desperately trying to flee.
George on the other hand was with Angelina, safely allowing her to score a point. The students around you burst out with a mixture of applause and booing. You clap and jump up and down with the fellow Gryffindors, leaving the Hufflepuffs eyeing you with judgment.
George zooms by so close that your hair blows like mad and curtains over your face. You quickly shake the knotting strands out of your sight just in time to see him practically kick Michael off his broom. Your attention is then immediately brought back to Fred, who was red faced and charging at a screaming Rickett. In the middle of the field was a dumbfounded Angelina, who was watching this unfold with wide eyes.
For the rest of the match, the players were just merely blurs. The Weasley twins are smacking bludgers left and right at the Hufflepuff players, leaving them very little time to plan. From the short period of times the messy haired gingers go stationary, you could see their eyes narrow and focused.
You hold your breath as Katie Bell dives and grabs the snitch in one quick swoop from right under the nose from Cedric. The Gryffindor student erupts into cheers. You join in, clapping and calling out to Fred and George who ceased chasing the Hufflepuff beaters.
They were getting closer. You assume they probably want to take in the applause, they earned it after all.
It isn’t until their brooms were only a few feet away, you realize that they were staring directly at you. Your chest blooms with excitement as they dismount their brooms and push past the crowd to meet you. With their arms outstretched, you run to them and fall into their warm arms.
“You were great!” You exclaim while smiling up at them.
Fred’s eyes dart to your lips and he dives in for a kiss. His soft hair brushes your face as he tilts you back, deepening his hungry kiss. The students around you holler and clap, making your cheeks turn scarlet red.
Once he pulls back, George takes you by the hips and replaces his brother’s mouth with his. You gasp from surprise, and he responds by rolling his tongue gently against yours. You fall into him completely, not caring what anyone else thinks.
Fred makes eye contact with Rickett and Michael and tilts his head with a devilish grin. Their jaws drop and they quickly fly off to the other side of the field.
You ask once George breaks the kiss, “what’s all this for?”
“Because we wanted to,” he says sweetly, placing a kiss on her forehead.
“And we wanted to thank our good luck charm,” Fred adds.
You rub your flushed cheek as you look between them. “Oh,” you say simply, falling short of any words that would cover how much you love hearing that.
“And,” Fred says, taking your hand in his shaking grasp. “Now everyone knows that you’re ours.”
Your mouth runs dry. Your heart pounding in your chest almost deafens the loud chattering around you. “Yours?”
“If you’ll have us, that is,” George says with a snicker. You take him by the collar of his shirt and stand on your tippy toes to kiss him. His lips are inviting and intoxicating, forget that there’s an audience until he stops you. “I’ll take that as a yes.”
You roll your eyes and look between the two of them. “It’s what I’ve always wanted.”
“Perfect,” Fred beams, giving you one last kiss before walking to his broomstick with George following behind. “We will catch up to you soon.”
“There’s something to attend to, and I believe it will leave us with a few extra Sickles.” George explains with a wink.
They take off in the same direction as Rickett and Michael, leaving you confused but with your heart filled to the brim with happiness.

Year One: Day One
Tumblr media
Chapter List WC: 2,413
2nd September, 1991
When the alarm first went off at 7am, Violet wanted to throw the thing against a wall. She hadn't noticed the alarms the night before, so one of the other girls had to of set one. She certainly didn't want to leave her warm and cosy bed, but she could hear the other girls already moving about.
She drew the curtains open and sat on the edge of the bed, watching all three of her roommates move around. Hannah was still in her pyjamas, pulling out a clean outfit from her trunk. The two other girls were taking turns in the bathroom. The first girl, who was brushing her teeth, had golden tan skin and straight blonde hair that fell to her waist. The other girl, who was trying to fix her tie into a proper knot, had deep brown skin and nearly black hair in tight, long braids. 
Violet pulled out her own outfit for the day, crawling back into her bed and closing the curtains to change. When she was done, she moved towards the now vacant bathroom.
"Morning!" The blonde chirped, her high-pitched voice shocking Violet, who spun around to see the girl leaning against the dorm entrance, "You're Violet, right? Hannah and Aimee already went down for breakfast. I'm Caroline Dodd, it's nice to meet you!" 
The girl was very chipper for it being so early, Violet couldn't help but feed off of her energy, "Hi! Nice to meet you too! I'll be just a moment, then we can walk down together?"
"Sure!" Caroline smiled widely, showing all her teeth.
Violet quickly finished getting ready for the day before following after Caroline, her heavy book bag slung across her back. 
Breakfast was just as exciting as dinner the night before. There were platters upon platters of food, including several types of eggs, fruit, sausage, cereal, kippers, bacon, fresh squeezed juice, toast with varying options of jam and marmalade, and more. 
The Great Hall was also louder than the night before, all the new and returning students catching up and introducing themselves. 
Violet listened quietly while the people around her talked. Aside from her three roommates, there was Cedric Diggory, a third-year who was a tall, well-built boy with short dark hair and bright green eyes, which rivalled Violet's own. He was the seeker on the Hufflepuff quidditch team; a popular school sport, Violet learned. And then there was Anthony Rickett, a fairly average boy with black hair, and Tamsin Applebee, a fairly average girl with blonde hair. The two were a couple, apparently, and both were third-years on the quidditch team.
"So, Violet, how are you finding Hogwarts so far?" Cedric asked, his gaze mesmerising as his eyes were practically glowing. 
"Oh, um," She laughed awkwardly, swallowing a mouthful of toast, "It's alright. Everyone so far has been nice, though I'm pretty sure I'm going to get lost on the way to my classes, this place is huge..."
Everyone around her laughed, Cedric nodding emphatically, "Don't worry, we've all gotten lost before. It gets easier with time. Most professors are lenient with first-years for the first few weeks when it comes to getting to lessons on time."
"Except for Snape," Anthony added, "He's a right arse. He teaches potions. Whatever you do, don't get his attention on you."
"Which one is Snape?" Aimee asked, glancing at the staff table.
"The one that looks like he hasn't showered in a month." Tamsin chuckled. In unison, the three first-years turned to observe the man.
Tamsin wasn't far off in her brief description, Violet saw. He was a lanky man, with shoulder length black hair that was so greasy it appeared to be shining, even from her seat halfway down the hall. He was glaring at anything and everything he looked at, from his plate to the people around him. 
"Avoid Snape, got it." Violet agreed, "Any other advise?"
Cedric replied, "Not really. Do your work, stay out of trouble, the usual."
Suddenly papers were flying through the air, each hovering in the air in front of students. Only the first-years, Violet saw. Then a paper stopped in front of her and she realised it was her timetable. 
She, Caroline, Hannah, and Aimee began to compare their schedules. 
"Hey, we all have the same schedules!" Aimee exclaimed.
"Did Gabriel not explain that?" Tamsin shook her head, "All students share the same classes first and second year with their own house, though some classes overlap with other houses. You'll likely have classes with Ravenclaw more than the others, but you'll surely have at least one with Gryffindor and Slytherin each."
"Right, okay..." Violet nodded, "We should probably get going if we're going to find our first class. Herbology?"
"That'll be Professor Sprout. She's also the head of Hufflepuff." Cedric said, standing up with the group of first-year girls, "She's out in the greenhouse behind the castle. My first class is that way, I'll walk you down there. Bye guys!" 
He waved to his friends before leading the girls out of the hall. They followed him through the castle, making small talk as they walked. 
Violet learned that Aimee, Caroline, and Cedric were considered "Purebloods", or having both parents be Witches/Wizards, while she and Hannah were "half-bloods", or having non-magical parents. Cedric was very assertive that blood status didn't matter, despite what some believe. He warned them against Slytherins, who were the worst of the houses, as they tended to be bullies and violent.
He led them halfway down to the greenhouse, wishing them luck on their first day before heading back inside for his own classes. 
The girls entered the greenhouse, glancing around at the fellow Hufflepuff first-years. There were also students who introduced themselves as Gryffindors. At the mention of the red-and-gold house, Violet began looking around for Harry, Hermione, and Ron. Upon finding them, she waved as they glanced over. They were on the other side of the long tables, so they had to speak up over the other students to hear each other. 
The raven-haired boy smiled, "Alright, Violet?"
"Alright, Harry." She returned. 
Before she could say anything else, an older woman walked in. She was a squat little witch, with short grey hair and a brown dress, which was covered in dirt, as were her hands. She smiled brightly at the students, briefly introducing herself as Professor Sprout before launching into her lesson.
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
By the end of the day, Violet was exhausted by the overwhelming amount of information she'd gotten. 
She'd had five classes throughout the day, each lasting just over an hour. By the time her last lesson ended at 5:30pm and she was heading for dinner, she wasn't sure she could handle a single new fact. 
First was Herbology with the Gryffindors, then Potions with just Hufflepuffs. This was followed by an hour lunch, then History of Magic with Slytherins, who had been far beyond obnoxious.
The worst of them was the white-blonde boy that she'd met her first evening at Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy. He and his friends, Crabbe and Goyle, were picking on the nervous first year Hufflepuffs. Throughout the, admittedly boring, lesson, they were constantly throwing bits of paper at other students. Anytime someone tried to walk by, they tripped them. And they constantly made rude comments about others' looks.
By the end of the lesson, Violet was ready to deck Draco in the face. In fact, she almost did.
Draco and his buddies were standing at the door after class ended, shoving students around as they exited. When Violet and her friends, Hannah and Aimee, tried to leave, Draco used some spell to tear open Aimee's bag and send her belongings flying.
"Why you little-" Violet lunged for Draco, stopping a few inches short when an arm banded around her waist and yanked her back away, "Why do you have to be such a right git?!"
Draco jumped further away from the girl, eyes wide in fear. "You were going to hit me!"
"You've done nothing but bully people all day! It's what you deserve!" She tried to push forward, scratching uselessly at the arm around her. She was seething, which was out of the ordinary for her usual calm demeanour.
"Get out of here, Malfoy. Just go!" A voice from behind Violet shouted. It jarred her out of her anger, releasing her hands from fists and slumping back. Draco rushed off with his friends, glancing back at Violet as if afraid she'd go after him.
"Can I let you go now?" The voice asked and she nodded. The arm dropped from around her waist and she spun around, "Sorry, I didn't think it wise for you to attack him. He's a Malfoy, you know?" 
"I have no idea what that's supposed to mean, but thanks. I don't know what got into me..." She sighed, turning to find Aimee and Hannah staring at her with wide eyes. 
"Malfoy? They're one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight families. One of the oldest, wealthiest families in the wizarding world. I'd stay away from him if I were you."
"Right, thanks, um..."
"Eddie Carmichael."
"Right, thanks Eddie. Well, I should get going now..."
"'Course, don't want to be late. See ya around." He winked before heading off.
"Violet!" Hannah whisper-shouted, following after Aimee as she started off towards their next class.
"I'm sorry, are you okay Aimee?" She asked, trailing after her friends. She felt an overwhelming sense of guilt. She had always been against violence, but something about that boy brought out the worst in her, it seemed.
"I'm alright. You didn't have to do that, you know." She shrugged, holding her books and things tightly. Her bag was ruined and she was struggling to hold everything. Violet took some of the items off the top, easing the load.
"No, I know, sorry. Something about that boy..." She huffed, trying to prevent her anger from bubbling up, "I don't like him. Not one bit."
"No one does," Aimee reassured her, "But you can't go after him like that. His family is bad news, and no one can touch him. Even Dumbledore can't control them."
"Would've been good to know earlier." She muttered as she entered their next class.

Luckily the rest of the day was uneventful. Charms and then flying lessons, both with the Ravenclaws. Afterwards, at dinner, Hannah and Aimee told the story of Violet's run-in with Draco to their friends. Caroline had separated from their little group, having been with Susan Bones since breakfast. Cedric and Anthony Rickett also sat with them, listening intently.
"And then she PUNCHED HIM!" Hannah was saying.
Violet gasped, "No I didn't! I almost punched him. Big difference."
"You attacked Draco? Draco Malfoy?" Anthony was appalled, Violet could tell from his facial expression, "Do you have a death wish?"
"Urgh!" She groaned, dropping her head into her hands, "It's not that bad, is it?"
A resounding "yes" came from those around her. She couldn't believe that she'd messed up so badly on her first day. Her first day of being a witch, and she attacks one of the most important students in the school. A student whose father could apparently have her removed from Hogwarts in an instant. 
She huffed in exasperation, "I have to apologise. Make it right, before he can tell on me." 
"Oh, I need to see this." Anthony laughed, shaking his head.
"Leave her alone, mate." Cedric shoved his friend with his shoulder, "Don't listen to them, Violet. It's bad, yes, but you'll be okay. No sane professor would believe any story Malfoy could make up over the truth."
"Right, okay, thanks." Violet moved to stand up, her appetite gone after only a few bites. How disappointing, she thought. There were fish and chips, her favourite. 
Hannah moved to get up with her, "Where are you going?"
"I'm just going to head down to the dorm, I'm knackered. I'll see you later, okay?"
Everyone bid their goodnights as she left. 
On her way out of the Great Hall, she risked a glance at the Slytherin table. A couple of first-years were glaring at her, but there was no Draco Malfoy in sight. Just outside the hall, Harry and Hermione were on their way in. 
"Hey! What's this about you attacking Malfoy?" Hermione asked, pulling her two friends off to the side, away from the open doors.
Harry gasped, "You attacked Malfoy?!" 
"I didn't- I mean, I did- He was bullying other first-years, and he used some spell to ruin my friend's bag and spill all her stuff. I just lost it! I tried to punch him, but a second-year stopped me." She ran her hands through her hair. It barely fell to her shoulders, having left it down for the day, something else she rarely did.
"He deserved it." Harry decided.
"Harry!" Hermione slapped his arm, "You shouldn't be attacking anyone, Violet. You're smarter than that!"
"Yeah, I know. It was stupid. He's a prat!"
"Still-" Hermione started, likely launching into a lecture, when Ron rounded the corner and waved at Violet.
"Hey, what'd I miss?"
Violet frowned, "Not much, I attacked Malfoy and now I'm going to be expelled."
"Bloody hell! I bet he deserved it." Ron laughed before Hermione's glare silenced him.
"Right, well, I'm heading to bed. It's been a long day." 
"Night!" The trio said as they continued into the Great Hall.
Violet was ready to drop by now. She had originally planned to get a head start on her Potions work that was due the next day, but now she could barely keep herself awake. She headed towards the stairs to go to the basement, but fate had other plans.
"Hey, you!" She spun around at the sudden shout. There, coming down the stairs, was none other than Malfoy.
Violet swore to herself before chastising herself. Her mother would be ashamed of such language.
"Who do you think you are?" He hissed as he moved closer to Violet, stopping barely a metre away, "Do you know who I am?"
"I didn't-" She started to snap, reminding herself to calm down, "About that. I wanted to apologise. I'm sorry I tried to hit you."
"You- what?" He pulled up short, shock written across his features. He was frozen a moment, as if he couldn't tell if she was being genuine.
"I'm sorry. No matter that you were being a prat, I shouldn't have responded violence with violence. It wasn't right."
"Uh," He stuttered, still shocked. All he could do was nod and slowly back away, staring at her as if she had grown a second head.
Violet turned and rushed down the stairs, not slowing until she was safely in her dorm. 
'There,' she decided, 'I've apologised. Whatever else happens is out of my hands. I just have to avoid him from now on.'

so sorry for the delay in recap, folks! your favorite sports columnist has been a bit unwell, not that i let it stop me from attending the game! maybe not the best idea given the shite weather this past weekend, but maybe we just focus on the excitement of match two and ignore my poor decision making skills.
the match starts with a bang, as anthony otterburn sends a bludger flying to take out jeremy stretton with a direct hit! this leaves the field clear for zacharias smith to go in for a shot, only for it to be saved by grant page! determined lad that he is, zacharias goes in for another, only for grant to make a repeat save. anthony rickett gears the bludger towards roger davies to give malcolm preece a lane to the goal. he shoots and it is good! first goal of the game goes to hufflepuff! this time rickett sets his sights on maisie rae winchester, taking her out to give zacharias another shot at goal, but still with no luck. (10-0)
preece goes down with a bludger from duncan inglebee, giving a recovered jeremy a clear shot to bring ravenclaw their first goal! (10-10)
don’t count the badgers out yet, though, as it looks like zacharias has finally hit his stride! after narrowly being taken out by a bludger from rickett meant for davies, smith comes up with two goals one after the other to secure a lead for hufflepuff. working to bring her team back up, maisie takes a shot and scores to lessen the gap. not willing to give up any space, tamsin applebee takes aim on goal, only for the shot to be blocked by page! any celebration of the save is short lived, as stretton takes both bludgers at once from hufflepuff’s dynamic duo of anthonys. doesn’t look like he’ll be getting back up, leaving ravenclaw down a player as jeremy is taken to the hospital wing. using the numbers and mood to his advantage, smith goes in to claim his third goal of the game almost unchallenged. applebee tries to follow suit, but her shot is caught by page. with preece taken out by a bludger from jason samuels, we see maisie and davies trying to score in quick succession, each missing the first shot but maisie throwing a solid curve to make her second! not ready to give up the lead, zacharias claims yet another goal for hufflepuff! recovering quickly, page blocks shots from preece, applebee, and smith! otterburn tries to keep davies down with a bludger, but it’s not enough to keep the eagle from scoring! (50-40)
another save by preece and the quaffle is passed on to maisie, who closes the gap to bring us a tie game! (50-50)
we see one more goal from davies before all celebration is redirected as cho chang snags the golden smith to bring ravenclaw to victory!! (50-210)

Cubs catcher Willson Contreras hits 100th home run of career
Cubs catcher Willson Contreras hits 100th home run of career
Wilson ContrerasPhoto: Getty Images There was a baseball game on the Northside of Chicago last night. I didn’t watch it. I haven’t watched any of them. But Twitter tends to tell me if there’s anything that happens of note with the Cubs. I can’t say I’m not informed. I just don’t have to watch Marquee Network’s high school AV Club level production to get it. But I couldn’t help but smile at

Los motes que Anthony Rickett, golpeador del equipo de Hufflepuff, fue poniendo a sus compañeros a lo largo de los años. En la lista falta un mote, el mĂĄs grave que Rickett puso a un rival, y fue para Adrian Pucey: la zorra de Flint. Esto se debe a que una vez Rickett lo pillĂł de rodillas en los vestuarios pocos dĂ­as antes del partido Huff VS Slyth, y luego se lo restregĂł veladamente en clase. Adrian se vengĂł dĂĄndole una paliza en el marcador que darĂ­a a Slytherin esa ventaja de puntos tan grande para el partido contra Gryffindor. Pero el daño estaba hecho porque el mote calĂł. Como calĂł en el (entonces) inocente Rickett aquella escena, y por eso en Ășltimo curso, tras madurar de golpe con la muerte de Cedric y echarle huevos para declararse a Tamsin, ambos se lo montaron a menudo en los vestuarios. Por cierto, el 1 de septiembre celebrĂ© la vuelta a Hogwarts inaugurando el capĂ­tulo 5, quinto libro, La Orden del FĂ©nix, lo que significa eventos paralelos a los capĂ­tulos 14-17 de ÂĄHufflepuff Existe!. Teniendo en cuenta que los equipos de Hufflepuff y Slytherin tienen a 4 miembros de cada en el mismo curso, habrĂĄ bastantes anĂ©cdotas compartidas, y algĂșn que otro momento dramĂĄtico, sobre todo para Adrian. Porque la felicidad de unos puede ser la desdicha de otros, dentro y fuera del campo de quidditch. ÂĄTengo tanas ganas de rememorar y revelar escenas inĂ©ditas del equipo de Hufflepuff a travĂ©s de los ojos de Adrian! No querĂ©is saber el cacao que tengo en el cerebro entre las numerosas fechas clave de este mes en mi trabajo, los horarios de todas las asignaturas de mi hijo y el calendario escolar de Hogwarts en 1995-1996. Un dĂ­a se me va a ir la olla y escribirĂ© en el grupo de padres de Whatsapp: “Perdonad, ÂżCuidado de Criaturas mĂĄgicas era los martes o los jueves? Digo Ciencias Naturales, ÂĄÂĄÂĄCiencias Naturales!!!”.
