Jan. 23rd, 2014 06:50 pmOur sponsors have been rather quiet this week - no word of a new challenge since the leg-locker curse.
I imagine they're taking their time to think of something truly limit-testing this go, after those first two relatively easy tasks.
But then they could be a bunch of unimaginative sods, too.
I'm bracing myself for both. Probably at the weekend, since I doubt they want to give us too much time off. I did get an owl from Ned, more or less telling me that I was on a good track, but that I shouldn't hold back or bide my time. The concept of subtlety is lost on him, it would seem, which isn't a surprise given that he used to be Crouch's secretary.
And - well, you might as well know the rest of it. He reminded me that because of my Father, my "position" wasn't as assured as it would have been, once upon a time.
I'm sure it will bring a smile to some of your faces to hear that bit.
At any rate, I think he's wrong. I don't believe it would do to look desperate, or as if I were dwelling on Father's situation. All of this is what I was meant for - that's what I aim to project. It is, after all, what comes naturally. I am the person the Lord Protector needs, the one that my Father couldn't be.
But this has got to look well ridiculous to those of you on the spectator end of this. You should all start a pool on who's going to make top third. Put it up on a big banner somewhere public to make everyone feel itchy. Put Teddy at the top and maybe he'll stop being such a sadistic arse - though who knows, that might make it worse.
