He knew that several of the die-hard Quidditch athletes were in attendance and that they'd be rather pleased.
"Does anyone know where the name 'Quidditch' came from and who kept a diary about it?"
Points--now they were talking! Sierra grinned as she received full credit for her answer. She'd actually forgotten that the other S-worded game, however it was pronounced, was still played today. She'd just lucked out by choosing it as the one she didn't name. Merlin was on her side today!
Hearing another question, Sierra raised her hand.
"Gertie Keddle was the one who kept the diary, and she lived on the edge of a place called Queerditch Marsh. That's where the name came from," she said.
