Leigh laughed at the commotion in the room now. "Cheating is only in the eye of the beholder. Yes, menial tasks will earn a person 5 points, and that's what I mean. Perform well in your classes, befriend those from other houses, be nice to the other Professors. That's what I meant by cheating." Leigh explained, laughing. "Each one of you thought I meant, 50 points for saying hello to me? No, no... Nothing like that this year, maybe only 1 or 2 points for that on... ah yes, 1 or 2 points for polite behaviour."

Girty laughed with the professor. "Sorry Professor. I will study hard and do well in Quittich. But Professor if it was in dire need say last week of term and we need 100 points to win would you do it then?"

Thom grinned and raised his chin. 'Well with me on the team as seeker, there's no doubt we'll win.' he winked.

Girty laughed and looked at Thom. "To true Thom. We will wipe the floor with the opposition, they will fear to play us as they will be way too humiliated."

Leigh raised his hand to pause anyone who spoke. "Hold it right there, yes I appointed Grace as Captain, but that doesn't mean that you're stronger than any other team."

Thom smirked. He had witnessed the line up for Ravenclaw when he had snuck off to spy on one of their practises. They're seeker was a joke, and they had no chasers what do ever! As for Gryffindor and Slytherin, no one had even been appointed Captain, they were both so dreadful. 'You should have more faith in us, professor.' Thom said sagely.

"But alas, faith is not enough to win, is it?" Leigh said, smiling as he spoke in a mocking tone at Thom. "But nevertheless, I am your Head of House and also a Hufflepuff, so I know you can win."

Girty grinned. "The team Grace has picked is fantastic. We need one more chaser and we have a full team. But i know Quittich is not everything but it does help."

Grace had sat in silence throughout and fiddled with a loose thread in the hem of her skirt. She was not sure how else they would get points. They were all working hard in class but so was everyone else. Quidditch was no question to her; her team was fantastic and she had every confidence in them, but would it be enough? No, the professor didn't think so. But then what would? She looked at the professor posing her question without actually asking it aloud.

Thom looked at Professor Addis coldly, and then with suprise at Grace. She too seemed to have doubts. 'Oy - look how well you did last season without any bloody beaters.' he frowned. 'We'll not with you - ' he pointed as Professor Addis. 'Shaking your head at us doubtfully in the stands and you - ' he then pointed at Grace. 'Looming around the goal posts feeling stressed out.'
He felt guilty when he noticed Grace's depressed expression.

Girty put their hand over her mouth and giggled silently at Thoms out burst. The muffin she thought as she sat back in her seat not wishing to get involved.

Grace gasped as Thom rounded on her. She knew he was right. They did a smash up job last year. She frowned, then looked away from Thom and everyone else. Her gaze settled on her fire, she didn't know what to say. She did not mean to doubt them but ... there she was doing it again. She supposed she merely needed to get back into the game again, then I'll be fine!
