Before this evening's Quidditch pickups could begin, we all needed to vanquish another foe: Muggle clocks that insisted on poor synchronisation on both sides of the pond! But despite the confusion, we still managed a solid turnout, with each house represented. First we began with two rounds of Xany:...

happy belated birthday, Emma!

Sweet! All of the matches are taken care of (well, except for the one that's being rescheduled).

This is the same thing that Snitch refs need to do during House matches. Ideally the log should have seconds (because Snitch ...

Everyone was asked to choose spells of their choice: some of us chose dueling spells ending i...
