the whispers of lady polixenes: london, 24-25 december 1995
“Pendragon Castle?” queried Harry, glancing over at an equally quizzical Hermione. “What’s that?” Ron was tempted to explain, but Malfoy was already on the Quaffle. “Excellent idea. Only one caveat: we play the Dodderidge Variation.” A groan from Fred, George, and Ginny. “Only if the Clagg subclause is revoked,” insisted Ginny. “No going around in circles.” “Fair enough. No circuitous plays,” declared Malfoy. “I’ll start: The Whispering Marsh.” “Bold opening manoeuvre,” said Fred. “But we see your bald-faced attempt at the Mopsus Gambit, and we won’t stand for it. The Labyrinthine Caves.” “Oh, putting pressure on the lateral,” remarked Sirius, through a bite of his bun. “Everdark Vale it is, then.” “The Misty Isles,” said Ginny quickly. “The Opal Mines!” shouted Regulus, and then cleared his throat. “Sorry. Got excited there.” “Why?” asked George, narrowing his eyes. “Seems like you’re a bit too familiar with this play, Reg.” “We’d better dodge that,” added Ron. “The Silver Isle.” The other half of the table groaned. “See, this is what happens when you blunder the Opal Mines six moves in,” rebuked Lord Malfoy, much to Ron’s surprise. “The Blood Moors it is.” Ron Weasley meditates on possessions and friendships. The second Weasley-Malfoy Games Showdown is held.

The illustration in this chapter was done by the wonderful @meemoop, who draws the most beautiful Narcissa Malfoys I have ever seen! Please go give them some love!

Finally realised what this round of bot names reminds me of...
JACK DEE: “You challenged, Barry?”
BARRY CRYER: “Mandatory Subcompac were very big in the 60s...”
If heaven exists I bet there's a cracking game of Mornington Crescent going on as we speak.
Humph chairing. On his left, Willie Rushton and Tim Brooke-Taylor, and on his right, Barry Cryer and Jeremy Hardy.

I wonder how often British Radio fans hack the Tube announcement system to play celebratory noises when you reach Mornington Crescent?
I applied for tickets to a zoom recording of I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue and didn’t get them. Then I made plans to go out for dinner on that day.
Today I got an email saying there were now extra tickets available and I had for one. So now I’m irritated because I can’t watch it.
Was listening to ISIHAC and kept expecting Jack Dee to say "Barry Cryer, Graeme Garden and Tim Brooke Taylor!" When he was introducing the teams and then I remembered that that's never going to happen again.
