Professor Vindictus flashes a yellow card to the crowd and then turns to show it to the Ravenclaw Chaser. "Penalty on Spike Hutchinson for Cobbing!" he announces and makes a note of the time the offence occurred. He takes the Quaffle from Hutchinson. "You can't touch the Quaffle until it passes the line that marks the scoring area, Spike. Remember where you're at on the pitch at all times. Now get back into position."
