But Keefer was talking so Alec was going to pay attention. "I know it's a sport..." That's all he knew, really. "I just heard about it a couple of weeks ago. How long have you been playing?" The boy might be very experienced and could just tell him everything he needed to know about Quidditch.
Ah, so he didn't know anything. Muggleborn, perhaps. "
Yes, it's the biggest Wizarding sport. It's played on broomsticks. There's three players called Chasers that try to score goals, each worth ten points. The Keeper tries to block the goals. Each team has two Beaters that try to hit an enchanted ball at the other team and knock them off their brooms." He hoped this wasn't information overload. Quidditch could be confusing to explain. "
The final player on a team is the Seeker. Their only goal is to catch the very tiny and very fast Golden Snitch, a flying ball that ends the game and gives the catcher's team 150 points," he said, finishing his monologue.
Maybe this boy would like to play?
Who knows, but I'm always on the lookout for potential players. "
I've been playing on and off since I got to Hogwarts. I knew about it before, but my parents didn't really want me flying before I had proper instruction like we get here. So I started at the same level you will, not knowing anything." Hopefully that would give Alec some confidence.
