Draco, I want you to really take in what I am about to say. I want you to really listen because you are a wonderful, kind, independent, beautiful person. Your social game was at least a step or two above mine, you won Wizard Chess and you took shit from no one. I was incredibly touched that you stuck with me at the final six despite knowing how the vote was going to go. I never expected it and I love you within the context of this game. Listen, you are not a goat. You have every chance of earning my vote and I expect nothing but your best efforts.


Wow man, I wish I could translate through words how much you've made me smile reading this. I loved that introduction too, I still haven't read that paper crane piece yet, but I can tell I should after that! (We should brainstorm a screenplay for Quidditch Through the Ages) But the decision to vote with you was easy, I made my word to you and I really meant it. I still wish that Pomfrey and/or Ron voted for Mira or Fred with us, but in the end I'm incredibly happy to be here!

For all three of you, I would like you to grade how you believe your social relationships are with each of the jury members going into this final tribal council using the O.W.L. grading rubric: (O)utstanding, (E)xceeds Expectations, (A)cceptable, (P)oor, (D)readful, (T)roll. Please, give an extremely brief explanation for each grade you give yourself.

1. Amos Diggory: (T)roll, because overall its got to be pretty bad. Although I almost gave it a (D)readful and I think Amos would almost agree that it would be, or could be. Amos and I didn't click right away... or at all, but after awhile it was too expected and well known that I had voted him so many times it got less awkward. We had a great talk about jams and differences in flavor, seeds, and types of jelly, jam and preserves. But that's about our best conversation. In the end of the day though, I gained a lot of respect for Amos. He put up with me round after round and I think it was fine, we knew we weren't going to work together so we didn't have an urge to talk much.

2. Angelina Johnson: (A)cceptable, I personally think Angelina and I did click. I think everyone did with her in the grand scheme of things, so I was set back with her priorities despite it. I don't know, we shared information and expressed intent to work together and move forward but I don't think I left as big of an impression on her as she did on me, but I didn't even vote for her. I think it was another missed opportunity but I also think we had a good relationship.

3. Cormac McLaggen: (A)cceptable, while I want to say NOW I'm at a full (O)ustanding, because I think that F7/F8 when we started to get real, we wouldn't have to talk long amounts of time or in depth, it was a very simple respect that I think drives society (and you and I) together! So going INTO this, O, but during the game I think it was an A, we made up immediately after but you did vote for me, so it would be premature and almost too amazing to say our relationship was perfect.

4. Fred Weasley: Fred and I had quite a journey, we went from RictumSempra... to that other tribe with Dudley, and then were separated and then merged... Fred was my#1, we had alliances with Mira/Maxime which I thought was going to be incredibly prosperous and Fred was my go to guy the entire time, I had something wacky to say, a fun topic, video games, you name it (even if he is always doing homework!) Fred was my #1, we were for sure at an (O)utstanding, but after the second swap and going into merge, we talked but I was hurt about a lot of the nonsense of the first merge round... I didn't understand why I was left out and why he left me out too. I was seeing our mutual friends and allies start linking as well and misguided that as conversation without speaking, I was misinformed during the GL vote and voted for him and it shoved an awkward shiv into our gears. I feel really bad about it, but going into our FTC I'll say (A)cceptable. I think we can average that grade out to that if this is my final grade.

5. Gilderoy Lockhart: (E)xceeds Expectations, GL was so... different at first, he was in character and hard to talk to, but as soon as we hit the third tribe he was so funny, he was throwing himself into it so much more than GL now. But ultimately we really bonded and got along, I felt like this season was as if I was actually in Harry's shoes and when Ron and I went into the chamber of secrets, Lockhart would be there to do exactly what Lockhart did in the books! Obliviated himself.

6. Lily Potter: (P)oor, this is really tough to grade and I think its harder to do this now that you're all on the jury instead of playing. Lily and I weren't aligned and we knew we weren't going to be but every conversation I ever had with Lily was nothing but kindness (other than when I was talking about her rubbish son) we didn't talk in depth about things but it was really pleasant, I think it could average out to an (A)cceptable if the teacher was seeing in between the lines.

7. Madame Maxime: (E)xceeds Expectations, ya know, I'm sure she'll disagree because she told me otherwise when she was in the game!! She told me that I didn't talk to her enough, that was when I had to check myself because Maxime was one of 3 people I talked to the most!!! I loved Maxime and was ready to do all those moves we had planned that didn't work out or she didn't vote. Maxime, Mira, Fred and I were in that alliance so I thought we were going places, but we weren't. I still love it, we flirted more than we should have, I think that's what we did 90% of our convos. So she was my favorite showmance.

8. Madame "Poppy" Pomfrey: (E)xceeds Expectations, this was another one that was tough to grade. I don't think she feels the same way, I wanted to say (O)utstanding because that's what our relationship was to me. But I knew she had other options and I knew that my schedule didn't always link up with hers. She's by far one of my favorite people here though so I do want to ask my teacher if she'd exchange that letter grade of an O, but answering honestly, E.

9. Newt Scamander: (A)cceptable, I keep bumping my letters down!! Only because I'm worried I didn't leave that same impression. Newt and I were really cool with each other the entire way through, Newt was someone I wanted to play as and Draco is someone Newt wanted to play as. We expressed interest time after time in working with each other, were able to do that for the Snape vote and ultimately I was unaware of Newt's departure altogether so I really think our relationship could be higher, but I'm going to be humble and take the letter grade I gave.


I hope this and my other answers can shed some light on my game and the relationships I built and maintained. I was labeled with you, as one of the harder people to hold a conversation with. I understand I was spotty at times but I really think when I look at this jury I see no one other than a friend to some capacity.

You're an encouraging force for me though Cormac and I really appreciate that and hope to gain some more momentum after this, in the context of the game, I love you too Big C.
