I'm sure someone will say something, but honestly, Perce, McGonagall's not that reliable these days. Besides, I suppose it's the kind of thing people are going to talk about, whether it comes from an official channel or not.

Thanks. I think on the whole this interview will be a good one to start out, since from what Professor Siz says, Mrs Cumberhatch is a fairly easy-going sort.

On the Task...no, everyone's being relatively tight-lipped about it. We've been told that the Pitch is going to be used but not for flying. And of course, the Security team have already arrived to begin preparations throughout the weekend. I know Diggory's well concerned. He knows he's got the stuff to win, but--well. You know what happened last time when Marvolo didn't do as well as the Lord Protector expected.

If it comes down to Marvolo and Diggory racing for the finish line, and I were Diggory, I'd 'trip' if you know what I mean.
