Lestrange to Wigtown?

The Wigtown Wanderers are reportedly looking to Hogwarts for a remedy to their slow start to the season. With just two victories in their first eight matches, Wanderers manager Gavina Grieve told reporters it is time to make a change.
“It’s not a lack of talent,” Grieve said during a press conference after last Saturday’s loss to the fellow bottom-dweller Wimbourne Wasps. “This team lacks heart. We either need some new blood or a swift kick to the tail-twigs.”
Wigtown had a team of scouts at the latest Hogwarts Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Slytherin as they searched for said new blood. Their target appears to be Slytherin lead Chaser Will Lestrange.
Lestrange is a talented goal scorer, but that does not appear to be an area of concern for the Wanderers. They currently lead the league in goals scored -- a rare feat for a team ranked dead last in the table. Their problem is that they struggle to close out games when they are ahead. Lestrange could help in that regard as well.
“If they're covered on Quaffle, but need a Seeker, I can catch Snitches,” says Lestrange. “Seeking was always my first love.” The multi-talented sixth year certainly has the skills to help any team in the league right off the bat, and a few more Snitches could add a few more tallies to Wigtown’s win column.
Unfortunately for the Wanderers, it does not sound like Lestrange is coming to Wigtown just yet. When asked if he would be willing to forgo his final year at Hogwarts to make the jump to the big leagues, Lestrange said, “I owe it to my House to give Slytherin seven full years as a student.”
With a third of the season over, Grieve and her team might have to start looking for answers elsewhere.
