Exactly. It's complete misdirection, their saying we're not competing. We're meant to be playing separate units of Our Lord's loyal forces in the war, and obviously each unit competes to win advantage for His cause. And that holds for CCF, for what we're really doing here: we're all competing for His favour.
It's fortunate we're on Marvolo's side. And... I don't know whether you know, but if what's in the wind is true, it may be as well we're not on Malfoy's side. By which, I mean, it would be fine if he were with us in Marvolo's number, but if we were still on Weasel's side, having Malfoy with us wouldn't outweigh the Weasley deficit.
I think all in all, the sides have shaken out just as they ought: all the better people are here. And the halfies and muddle-brained are all over there.
But that means it's ours to lose. And a loss would be a serious embarrassment. So we will not be losing.
