quidditch is easy enough to understand. each team has 7 players. three chasers, two beaters, one keeper and a seeker, that's you. there are three kinds of balls. this one's called the quaffle. the chasers handle the quaffle and try to put it through one of those three hoops. the keeper, that's me, defends the hoops. with me so far?
you better take this. careful now, it's coming back. not bad potter, you'd make a fair beater. uh-oh.
bludgers. nasty little buggers. but you are a seeker. the only thing i want you to worry about is this, the golden snitch.
eh, you like it now. but it's wicked fast and damn near impossible to see.
you catch it. before the other team's seeker. you catch this the game's over. you catch this, potter, and we win.
scared, harry?
it's alright. i felt the same way before my first game.
i.  uh. i don't really remember.  took a bludger to the head two minutes in. woke in the hospital a week later.
