So what makes my perspective so unique? Well it would be natural to think that being one of the captains would be it, however it's not, my unique perspective comes from the fact that I am the only newbie captaining a team, well apart from my co-captain Hedra. Which I imagine probably gives us reputation similar to the one Chudley Cannons had at the end of the last century. To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if some refs decided to pave the Quidditch stadium with mattresses and pillows just in case one of us falls off the broom.
Now I am not saying that I hate the draft, I am not. To say that I hate something before I even tried it would be completely silly in my opinion, like a child screaming he doesn't like broccoli before even taking a first bite of it. No, I am all for it, I think it sounds fun, and honestly trying new stuff does make life more exciting, and yes I do realise I can sound like a Gryffindor from time to time.... moving on.... I just think that the draft is much easier for an older member, and that if I wasn’t a newbie I would stress a lot less about it.
My biggest concern about the draft was drafting someone who would really hate being on our team, and by this I am not saying that our team is or will be bad or lousy, of course we’ll do our
Now that the draft is done all I can say is that it went better than I hoped so, not only because we were lucky enough to get almost every person we wanted, but also because atmosphere was really good, everyone was really excited about it and in the end I think everyone left the channel happy. I really hope the rest of the season goes as smoothly, and if you ask me I’d do another draft anytime.
With that in mind I would like to finish this story by commenting on our team as a whole. I think we did well and that we certainly have a good team with lots of potential, and I am not only saying that because I am one of the captains! Can we win? I wouldn’t say we’re favourites for the victory, but you know there are some squirrels that CAN fly, and if some squirrels can fly I don’t see why we couldn’t win. There is always a slight chance, and for me that’s enough. What else to say other than GO HOWLING HINKYPUNKS!
