An Owl for Derry Pierce by Boomer
As was normal for the end of the year, Coach Pierce's owl Boomer was sent out to visit several students who probably recognized the large eagle owl but had not previously received direct contact with him. Though he'd seen Amelia's house in Boston on multiple occasions by now, one such student was Derry Pierce, as she'd had little reason to owl him at school for family reasons. Quidditch reasons, however, did require owl contact and Kate was graduating in only a few days. Consequently, the sixth year would become the Captain of the Teppenpaw team next year. That would likely not come as any surprise to the Assistant Captain, but it was always nice to get it in writing, especially when the Quidditch season this year had been decidedly uneventful.Captain Derry Pierce, the letter attached to the owl's leg began.
Congratulations, you have been promoted to Quidditch Captain. Next year, you will be responsible for putting up sign-up sheets, holding try-outs, reserving the pitch for your team, and hosting practices throughout the year. You will, of course, have the help of an assistant captain. I recommend Lawrence Stratford.
He was the obvious choice, the next oldest after Derry save for Solomon Asa, who had a decided preference for the reserve position. Laurie was also Derry's fellow Beater, so they already worked together well. Of course, it was only a recommendation, and the final call was Derry's, but she felt a little more certain about this one than she did for the other two she'd made this year, just from some conversations she'd had with her son's brother over various holidays.
If you would rather another, please owl me your choice so I can make sure the right person gets the badge next year. You may tell your assistant of his or her promotion yourself. Congratulations and good luck.
Coach Amelia Pierce
