Cedric was happy to see that. It must be wonderful, having natural flying ability without being dependent on a broom that could be taken away from you. He was irritated about that.

"There are fourteen players on the field at a time, seven for each team. The hoops are rather high above the ground, but there's no limit to how high or low a player can fly. Some of the players attempt to throw a ball through the hoops on each end, and a Keeper---a goalkeeper---from the opposing team tries to stop them. Two heavy balls called Bludgers are enchanted to attack the players, and Beaters whack them with clubs to aim them at the other team. It goes on until one of the Seekers catches the Golden Snitch, a tiny golden ball that zooms at high speeds and is very difficult to catch. It's about your size, actually."

((In the group thread, I think, when it gets going---the ouching should be public!))
