The Last CCF challenge

[alt_draco]

Now that was an intense day. When they portkeyed us to New London I actually though for a split-second that they might not give us a challenge today, but I knew that couldn't be right and, sure enough, they finally had me and Harry head up our own teams. (Harry and I had sort of counted on that happening some time before CCF was over, so we were ready for it.)

From what I've gathered it sounds like both teams had the same challenges but in different orders. Our team started at Trafalgar Square and really, the hardest part was picking only two people to do each challenge, without knowing what the next challenge would be. It looks like both teams did really well, though - Harry, I found out the official time and you lot only arrived at the arch a little over three minutes after we did.

So well done all around, really. I think all who were involved accomplished a great deal and have a lot to be proud of.

That said, I can't wait to get home tonight and sleep in a familiar bed. Might not get out of it for the next few days, even.

Congratulations mate. I know we were close. But I'm glad you won. Anyway I don't think we have any thing to be ashamed of.

No, not really. But I still think we could've got there sooner if you'd sent Moon off for that map instead of Smith. He probably already had it in his knapsack, anyway. And Smith can't orient his way out of a broom cupboard.

But it doesn't matter, in the end, I suppose. And the important thing was working together.

Yeah I was just going to say that. I think maybe I should anyway in case other people are reading. And think I'm sore with Draco. Publically I mean.

I dont know. It was really hard. I think maybe that's part of the point. That we can always think of something we could do better. You did well though.

With Bones, Perks, Weasley and Bundy? Hard to do any better than I did, I reckon. Thanks.

Oh, and I don't think anyone thinks you're cross with him. You're best mates, and they made you go up against one another. To tell the truth, I'm surprised you didn't wind up on opposite sides more often.

Well thats good. But you know how people can be sometimes.

What do you mean?

Just that people like to gossip. I don't know. Mostly my Father and Draco's father's sorts of people. Like they might get ideas about us. Not people our age.

Oh, that sort of thing. Yeah. Funny, I don't usually think of grown-up men being gossips. But I guess you're right.

Finnigan gossips something awful, but what he has to say is always so funny it's well worth hearing!
