"Again, the goal in Creathoceann is to catch as many rocks and boulders as you dare in the cauldrons strapped to your heads," he explained and he now pointed his wand at one end of the stadium where the Quidditch goal hoops were missing. With a swish and flick, the disillusionment charm was lifted to reveal hundreds of rocks that were the size of Muggle softballs.



"Some of you are slipping in your powers of observation. I'm absolutely shocked that no one noticed the absence of the goal hoops. Tsk, tsk!"

Smirk.

"These are, ahem, rocks which have been charmed to rain down upon you as you fly around the pitch and try to catch them. One of the charms on them is designed to make them lighter so that you won't get knocked out when they hit the inside of your cauldron or break an arm, leg, hand, or foot if they strike your body. The only thing that will happen are light scratches and bruises," he explained rather matter-of-factly. "Well, maybe a broken nose if your face gets in the way."

"Now where was I? Oh, yes! Since this is your final, it's not going to be easy. If you fall off your broom, the rocks have been enchanted to fall out of your cauldron and zoom back into the sky. The goal is for you to catch 24 of the rocks. Some of you may catch more or less - the objective is to try to play this ancient Gaelic game. It may sound easy but it's not. Remember, no one can use magic and no stealing rocks out of other people's cauldrons. Good luck and may your headaches begin!"

He gave his wand a wave and the rocks soared into the air. Vindictus brought his silver whistle up to his lips and a shrill sound filled the air.

TWEET!

As soon as the whistle was sounded, the rocks began to gently rain down from the sky. As they hit the grass on the pitch, they zoomed back into the sky and started raining down once more.
