>Another source said the Sixers haven’t received a formal trade offer at this time. The source added that none of those talks has involved Thybulle or any of the Sixers’ other young players. Speaking of Thybulle specifically, the source added the second-team All-Defensive selection is close to being untouchable.

Hermione wasn't surprised by his American accent like the other students, he was raised there. She continued the conversation, "And those two over there?" She motioned to a dark haired teen trying to blast another teen, who moved amazingly fast, with red bolts.
"Oh, they're my siblings in a sort of way. Wanda and Pietro."
"And the red guy?" Ginny asked.
"Oh that's Vis. He's the baby of the family." Harry clarified.
"Uh?"
"He's two."
"UHHHH??"
Minerva Mcgonagall knew something was up the when she noticed that Mr. Potter was not sitting next to Miss Granger and Mr. Weasley like he usually is during meals, but instead he was sitting next to Mr. Thomas with a seat on his right left empty. Then Mr. Malfoy comes down and she would never admit it but she stares. Mr. Malfoy had used magic to grow out his hair just a few inches above his shoulders. Not to mention it was brown now. There was also something very un-Draco Malfoy like about him. She couldn’t put her finger on it but his posture was different and and there was an unsure smile instead of customary sneer or scowl or even smirk. Now everyone was watching.
And instead of sitting at the Slytherin table like he does literally everyday, he goes over to the Gryffindor table, sits now next to Mr. Potter and his unsure smile turns into an a very unlike Draco Malfoy grin and throws his arm around Mr. Potters shoulder and says “Hey Buddy”. He throws a smile at Mr. Thomas too and Minerva gapes.
It’s not often the stern witch is caught off guard but bloody hell! She looks around the great hall and looks at the others reactions. Severus looks like he just swallowed a lemon, the other Professors have looks of various degrees of shock on their faces. Even Albus has no idea what’s going on. She looks at Mr. Finnegan, Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger only to find them also gaping at the unlikely trio indicating that they didn’t know what was going on either. The other Gryffindors also seemed shocked. She looks over to the Slytherin Table and see Mr. Malfoy’s too goons looking dumbstruck and Miss Parkinson is just stuck in with her mouth agape. Although to be fair, most people were also just there agape.
Minerva purses her lips and wonders what happened to the three boys and their change in attitudes.

Anybody got it. It kinda got overshadowed by Fred and GTJ's splashy 3s in the clutch, but Scottie guarding everybody from Beal to Durant to Harris in his first year.
Elmer Yuill was a 77 year old farmer in Beaver Brook, Nova Scotia. In the early morning hours of Saturday 26th October 1991, Elmer was tending to his cows when he was shot twice in the back with a .22-calibre rifle by someone who'd been hiding in the loft of his barn. One of his employees, Todd Carlton, discovered him lying face down on the ground at around 4.30am.
Elmer's murder sent ripples through the tiny farming community of Beaver Brook, home to just 200 people. By all accounts, he was well-known and well-liked; a hard-working dairy farmer who treated his employees with kindness, gave free milk to struggling families, and invited local children to his farm for tractor rides. He didn't have any money on his person when he was killed and it doesn't appear that anything was stolen.
In the aftermath of Elmer's murder, other farmers in the area became scared of moving around their farms alone before sunrise, terrified of the thought of a killer roaming the vast fields of Beaver Brook. A local photographer was going door to door selling photos of farms he'd taken at the time and when asked if he'd be back, he said "I’m not coming back, I’ve been met at the door with rifles."
John Blaauwendraat, a farmer who lived nearby, was awoken by Todd (Elmer's farmhand) who had run down the highway in search of help. When John got to the barn, he saw something strange: there were several beer bottles on a wooden step inside. Elmer didn't drink and was an incredibly tidy person who always made sure his barn was clean and well-kept.
The RCMP used forensic specialists, criminal profilers, helicopters, underwater search teams, and tracking dogs in their investigation. They even wiretapped neighbours' telephones, subjected them to polygraphs, and carried out surveillance operations that lasted for years. But they were never able to find the person — or people — who murdered Elmer Yuill.
Fred Blois was Elmer's close friend and next door neighbour. Fred can see Elmer's red barn from his kitchen window — his children visited Elmer and his wife often and Fred says they were like "surrogate grandkids" to the Yuills. Speaking of his friend's killing, Fred commented:
“I think we’d like to believe he wasn’t the intended victim. Elmer had no enemies. Everyone I spoke with was of the same opinion.”
Rumours were rife in Beaver Brook following Elmer's death, with many — including Fred — speculating that a farm employee was the real target. Yuill McGregor, one of Elmer's nephews
