A very wise wizard (who I believe may have been better suited to Ravenclaw) once said:
There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.
And of course there is plenty to learn, especially with the end of term exams coming up. I think, then, we should all take full advantage of the very last day which our teachers will accept as not being better spent nose down in a library book, get out to the quidditch pitch, and enjoy it.
Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, we'll be glad to give you the opportunity to learn what it is to be soundly beaten.
Good luck, and fair play.
Private to Ravenclaw
We can do this. Our best arithmancers have been working for weeks on compiling all the other team's strengths and weaknesses, goals scored, snitches caught, bludgers hit and so on, and we've worked up strategies for taking advantage of all them. Courage, cunning and hard work can hardly be said to be exclusive to any one house, but tactics are going to win this one. And talent, of course. We've got that in spades.

Are you considering career prospects already?
[Look he didn't say dating prospects, did he. It's a step.]

I just like to read about them.

I'm still curious about what that Slytherin wants with you.
