For the sake of SPACE the following is below the cut:

The Romantic and/or Sexual Relations of the Quidditch Teams*;
*According to Witch Weekly
A rough diagram for each school

Wave your wand )

Of course, it would be even MORE interesting to include relationships we know exist BESIDES the published gossip. But that might mix even more truth in with the blatant lies. I'd write more, but I think the above SPEAKS for itself.

Added about fifteen minutes after Dani's comment...
Since it was suggested to make ONE BIG DIAGRAM...here you go folks...
All in one diagram )

Added barely later...
Warded to Dominique Weasley
Look, I'm pretty sure you might be planning to PRANK me or something after this. So the timing is - LOOK, can you just FORGET about that for right now and be my big big cousin? I don't want to ask James.

Yes. Or no.

Warded to Sonali Thomas
I am SO sorry, Sonali. That was NOT ME. AT. ALL. I don't like Kingsley. I don't like boys at all. And I very much like YOU. Thank you for taking me to the hospital wing.

I was finishing up plans for Valentine's Day for you before that all...happened. Would you be interested in a belated Valentine's Day just for us?


Warded to Kingsley Shacklebolt
Can we pretend that never happened?





No?
It was some sort of love potion thing. Nurse Zest fixed me...I don't LIKE like you. You're cool and all...but kind of male. And you have Lala.


Warded Private
First the warding issue. Now this LOVE POTION thing. I feel like I need to crawl into a HOLE and DIE. It's like the universe or the headmaster or someone is out to EMBARRASS me horribly over and over and over. Until no one WANTS to spend time with me.

It's not fair.


At least that anonymous gift I ordered is finally almost ready to get shipped. Then people can focus on someone ELSE. AND hopefully they'll FINALLY get together. Idiots.

I wanted to make sure you were okay. The bludger hit you hard, and when I saw you earlier today, I thought you looked strained. Don't worry, you still looked as handsome as ever. You were a shoe in for that club.

I know you are remarkably busy, but I was wondering if you could teach me how to duel better. You had that most amazing duel with Jonah earlier in the year, and I think you're the best duelist here.


Warded to James Potter
You said you don't see me as a baby. Do you think Kingsley your friends see me as grown up too? It's important.


I've always had some of the best fashion sense in this school, and now I'm absolutely sure of it. And really, it just makes common sense.

OOC: posted early early in the morning, before people realized the FAIL en masse.
FAIL!Warded Private
I am tired of being the "baby." I'm the youngest Weasley and I'm the youngest 5th year, and everyone almost everyone treats me like it. Like I'm an infant. Like I can't understand what's going on or can't help or shouldn't be involved with Sonali beyond hand holding and chaste kisses. Right, like DOM or JAMES never went beyond hand holding when they were fifteen. James TOTALLY assumed that I'm not ready for anything, and he just sees me like a baby like they've always seen me.

Bloody hell, I'm WAY more mature about it than Albus. I love him, I do, but he's been a right IDIOT about girls. But no one seems to question whether he is ready for it no matter HOW many times he calls Dani "PERKY". No because he's much closer in age. I'm dating Sonali, and we haven't yelled at each other, in any bad ways, and we get along great, but I'M the one not ready. It's like they don't see ME, they see who I USED to be, their little cousin. But I'm not little any more. Do they even know me?

It's like Lily's the only one who understands. Fred and I have lived in the same room for years, and still how much time do we spend together? It's always ME having to- He has HIS friends that he spends time with and I don't think they even like me. Does he even WANT to spend that time with me? He's Fred, and he's so nice, and I'm family, and he didn't even think we'd be in the same year, none of them thought I'd go to Hogwarts until AFTER them, and it's not like he can get rid of me.

It's stupid. Stupid stupid stupid. STUPID. But maybe not. When's the last time I even SAW Rose? I know she has quidditch, but she's MY sister. But she's always too busy or has a BOOK. She avoids me at home too. Even Dom pranks Louis because he MATTERS to her.

And Roald getting mad because I CARE about him. Yea, I'm younger, but I've only known him ALMOST MY WHOLE LIFE, and I'm allowed to CARE and to WORRY and want to HELP. But why would anyone listen to me? James and Dom and Roald ... like I don't know them so well that I can't see what's going on. It doesn't matter what I say because I'm HUGO, and they'll just ignore me.

I've tried so hard to show them who I am, to spend TIME with them, and to HELP them when I can. And in return...


Breakfast isn't even offered yet. Time to raid the kitchens.


They should offer food EARLIER. Some of us get up in the morning. And it's Monday. A good week starts with a good breakfast. I prefer french toast.

Katja. Avery. Did you go at it with Beauxbatons and Salem girls as well? You know to truly get a representative SAMPLE. Is it supposed to prove you're HANDSOME for the club? Look at the Blond one - he gets all the girls? Or was this some HALF-ASSED idea to try to get Dominique JEALOUS?

For that matter...

Do you even CARE about Dominique's FEELINGS???????

You are being a jerk, an ass. And you don't DESERVE her when you behave so shittily. And if you're sucking face has dulled your bains too far to understand clearly what the RIGHT thing to do is

Clean up your bloody ACT or leave Dominique the HELL ALONE.

You get that?

And don't get all offended angry at me. Yes you may be able to bash my brains in and thus incapable of intelligent thought, but at least I use my brain.




As an estimate, what percentage of the student body (years 5 - 7) do you think actually ACTIVELY uses their brains to think? It reminds me of something the Eleventh Doctor said: "The end comes as it was always going to: down a video phone." At least RORY used his brain.

Maybe Hogwarts should do a version of the Darwin Awards. They would need to be adapted of course, since no one has DIED, but the idea could be the same. Honoring self-selecting stupidity.

So, uh, I know things didn't go as you hoped with Aggie, but could I talk to you about girls?


Warded to Louis Weasley
So, girls. You free to talk?


Warded to Albus Potter
So does that convince you to grow up?


Maybe Flux should have thought to do the Sex Ed during the Gender Swap. Then he could have killed two birds with one stone. Who knows, maybe they'll give us drinks at one of these things, and we'll all switch genders AGAIN. Also, why do they need permission for SEX ED but NOT for CHANGING OUR GENDERS?! Maybe I'm missing something. Feel FREE to fill me in.

Warded to Lily Potter
Was that you kissing Will at midnight?


Warded Private
Breath. Breath. Just because she said she's had sex on the brain doesn't mean...anything. I hadn't even THOUGHT about that possibility. Just keep your cool, Hugo. You're the Boss.

I am going to need some quality alone time if those mental images keep popping up.

Cards
Alice Connolly. Classy, and red is a HOLIDAY color. It doesn't just belong to Gryffindors.
Clover Finnigan. Very nice. It looks hand drawn, and the present is large, even though it came with none. I shall keep it out for a while.
Sonali Thomas. Crazy cow card. Okay weird, but lively.
Eddie Longbottom. Attitude. Clean. Cool.
Constance Dorny. Partridge in a pear tree. Obvious reference, to ME anyway, but handmade gets it more points. I'm not sure why it has a snowflake on its wing though.


Haul
Stocking with pair of socks, Hufflepuff gloves, Hufflepuff house quills, and candy, lots of candy. {Alice Connolly}. The socks are fine, the gloves are a bit like Grandma's, but the quills are nice. And I can never have too much candy.

A donation to help orphans in my name. {Anathema Nott}. It doesn't really count as part of the haul, but it is for a ~good cause. And maybe the orphanages will actually buy the orphans some clothes. Merlin knows they need it.

Also, a goat donated to Niffler Internaional in my name. {Lysander Scamander}. IDK, he's nice but so odd. Like his mum. At least a goat costs more than some of the chickens and ducks SOME people had donated in their name.

A cashmere sweater. {Elliot Goldstein}. Good material. Okay, great material. It feels WONDERFUL, which makes up for the lackluster color. I can accessorize that.

Giftbag of sweets. {Will Longbottom}. Sweets are always a plus. Not much personal thought put into it, and he probably sent the same thing to many people. But I was still ONE of them. HA.

Heath grey sweater. {Fred Weasley}. Very vintage. Very mature. I'm definitely not a baby.

Money clip, leather duffel bag, and taupe/green sweater. {Sonali Thomas}. I sort of love this girl. They are WONDERFUL gifts. The bag is just delightful. I've organized and reorganized it, even though it is NOT an everyday bag. I made the right choice for the gala.

Store bought sweets. {JJ Higgs}. Eh, wouldn't expect more from her, even though I DID give her a far better gift.

Grey waistcoat. {Constance Dorny}. Classy, brilliant, and TOTALLY me. She starts out on the good list for 2023.

FAIL Button. {Corrie Pye}. BRILLIANT. Unfortunately I've already had to use it REPEATEDLY, and we're not even to the new year.

Boss by Hugo Boss. {Dominique Weasley}. Nice touch. Nice remembering who's the boss. Boo yah.

Chocolates. {Louis Weasley}. Plus for chocolate. Minus for lack of personalization. Dude better like his mirror.

Vintage pocketwatch (with secret compartment). {Eddie Longbottom}. Snazzy. It's pretty rocking, and it's often the kind of gift you get at 17. So I LIKE it.

White sweater. {Rose Weasley}. I swear she does not have this sort of fashion sense. If she did, she would dress much nicer. It's not her hair that needs change. The shampoos and conditioners in the gift I gave her will help her hair be soft and healthy without making people she looks like Corrie. But yes, I do like this sweater. I'd even starred it. But that was only notes to myself. She's a good sister, if confusing.

Encyclopedia Idiotica: History's Worst Decisions and the People Who Made Them. {Krish Kapoor}. Oh I love it when people are wrong. Maybe i could write something like this for an assignment for Binns. It's good reading.


There are DEFINITELY people missing who SHOULD have gotten me gifts. It is NOTED. We'll see if any of them send thank you notes. That's the least they could do. It was a decent year, not the best. But I'm starting to get gifts that recognize my MATURITY and place in the world. And that is a good sign.


Warded individually to each person who sent Hugo a gift
OOC: if your character would have sent him a gift, but you were lazy, pretend it happened and you are on this ward.
Thank you very much for your gift. I absolutely love {description of zomg whatnot here.}

Thank you for your card. It is on my desk here at home in my room.


I have greatly enjoyed the holidays and look forward to the gala. It's only TWO DAYS AWAY. I understand people were busy with EXAMS while we were in the castle, and many of you hadn't started looking for clothes. Then it was Christmas, and now the gala is ALMOST upon us. If you have STILL not found clothes for the gala (perhaps that is NOT your strong suit), I offer my humble services to dress you up wonderfully. Just as my friends. I'm the BEST.

Warded to Sonali Thomas
Would you care to do dinner before the gala, Sonali dear?


Warded to Roald Krum
You asked her to SHAG you?!?!?!?!!?!!!!?!?!!?!?!!

Ward 5th year boys
Exams start tomorrow. 11 days until Christmas. And just over two weeks until Essie's gala. I dug a study under a rock and haven't come out of it in far too long. As such I need a DATE. I've heard about some of you asking out Dani and other foreigners to the gala and getting shut down. They think of you as infants, so of course they said no. If you want to go with someone older as a date you have to show them you're not in diapers, or you're doing it WRONG. Dani!lovers, it's a moot point, anyway, because she has a date.

Personally, I'd rather ask someone from our year to go with me, but I'm not sure entirely who is going with whom, so I'll write down what I've heard:
Anathema Nott & Albus Potter
Amelia Tatting & Barnaby Hooper
Mari Lee & Will Longbottom
Lily Potter & Toby Pucey
Viola Vance & Gil Pucey
Annabelle Hopkins & Fred Weasley
JJ Higgs & Qamar Cooke
Roxie Weasley & Liam Finch-Fletchley


So I'm considering:
Athena - we only lasted a week last year, but the gala is only for a night, and who knows, it could rekindle a flame.
Charlotte - She's got good energy, but I am frightened by the prospect of what she might choose to wear to the gala.
Constance - She's nice, sweet, likes to make me feel better, but she's spent a lot of time talking at the Russian guy in Russian. I wasn't expecting that of her.
Maddie - I almost didn't include her because OH DEAR LORD PEOPLE, ~~~Vlad of the magical hips and lips is here. I don't want my date to drool over someone else. THAT IS NOT THE POINT OF A DATE.
Sonali - Last does not mean worst. No, save your dessert for last because it is the best. She's hot, fun, flirty. It could go really well. Or really not.


I'm not really seeing one girl that is screaming BRING ME TO THE BALL, HUGO. Maybe if I spoke Russian.


Warded to James Potter
You do REALIZE don't you that you lost the right to get angry about who Aggie dates or snogs or dances around in lingerie in the rain with once you cheated on her right? Even if you didn't, you had a date with Qamar, and you're going with Dani to the gala. So you really have no right. Get over yourself. And her. It's never going to happen again.

And what's with the double dating? Are you going to cheat on someone again?


Life will get infinitely better after Friday at 4pm.
