ith the quaffle. okay, got
that. so what are they for?” he poihe three balls left
ihe box.
”i'll shoood. ”take this.”
he handed harry a small club, a bit like a short baseball bat.
”i'm going to show you what the bludgers do,” wood said. ”these
two are the bludgers.”
he showed harry two identical balls, jet blad slightly
smaller than the red quaffle. harry hey seemed to be
straihe straps holding them ihe box.
”stand back,” wood warned harry. he bent down and freed one of
the bludgers.
at ohe black ball rose high in the air aed
straight at harry's face. harry swung at it with the bat to stop it
fr his nose, a zigzagging away into the air --
it zoomed around their heads a wood, who dived on
top of it ao pin it to the ground.
”see?” wood panted, f the struggling bludger bato the
d strapping it dowhe bludgers rod,
trying to kheir brooms. that's why you have two
beaters ohe weasley twins are ours -- it's their
job to protect their side from the bludgers and try and knock them
toward the other team. so -- think you've got all that?”
”three chasers try ahe quaffle; the keeper guards
the goal posts; the beaters keep the bludgers away from their team,”
harry reeled off.
”very good,” said wood.
”er -- have the bludgers ever killed anyone?” harry asked,
hoping he sounded offhand.
” hogwarts. we've had a couple of broken jaws but
nothihat. member of the team is the
seeker. that's you. and you don't have to worry about the
quaffle or the bludgers uhey crack my head open.”
”don't worry, the weasleys are more than a match for the bludgers
-- i mean, they're like a pair of humahemselves.”
wood reato the d took out the fourth and last
ball. pared with the quaffle and the bludgers, it was tiny,
about the size e walnut. it was bright gold and had little
fluttering silver wings.
”this,” said wood, ”is the golden snitd it's the most
important ball of the lot. it's very hard to catch because it's
so fast and difficult to see. it's the seeker's job to catch
it. you've got to weave in and out of the chasers, beaters,
bludgers, a it before the other team's seeker,
because whichever seeker catches the snits his team ara
hundred and fifty points, so they
nearly always win. that's why seekers get fouled so much. a game
of quidditds whech is caught, so it
fes -- i thihree moo keep
bringing on substitutes so the players could get some sleep. ”well,
that's it -- aions?”
harry shook his head. he uood what he had tht,
it was doing it that was goihe problem.
”we won't practice with the s,” said wood, carefully
shutting it baside the crate, ”it's tht lose
it. let's try you out with a few of these.”
he pulled a bag olf balls out of his pod a
few mier, he and harry were up in the air, w the
golf balls as hard as he every dire for harry to catch.
harry didn't miss a single one, and wood was delighted. after
half an hht had really fallen and they 't .
”that quidditch cup'll have our his year,” said
ily as they trudged back up to the castle. ”i wouldn't
be surprised if you turhan charlie weasley, and he
could have played fland if he hadn't gone off g dragons.”
perhaps it was because he was now so busy, what with quidditch
practice three eveop of all his homework, but
harry could hardly believe it whehat he'd already
been at hogwarts two mole felt more like home than
privet drive ever had. his lessons, too, were beore and
m now that they had mastered the basics.
