The flying instructor stood behind the trunk and sent the rubber balls flying in every direction for the students to catch in their cauldrons.

"Whoopsie daisy!" He felt more alive than the volcano Eyjafjallajökull last rupture. "Here they come!" YUP. They were everywhere.

Haraldur was enjoying himself. Sure it probably more fun to play but shooting off rubber balls towards the students and watching them catch them sure was a sight.

"You could release them, Miss Diggory." He replied, not taking his eye off the students in the air. But then she'd lose time by landing and placing the balls on the ground. "There's little chance they'll bounce out but of course there is always the risk of that." He couldn't make it too easy for them. He waved his wand and set off another batch of balls up into the air.

"OH and, try to catch the balls just using your cauldron Miss Diggory. You're a skilled flyer, you got this." He never doubted her for a second.

Haraldur smiled at the young prefect. "I would save as much time as I could. Aim for the green ones, Mr. Borzekowski-Thomas and when the activity is over, you can count how many of the correct color you managed to catch in your cauldron." The flying instructor flicked his wand and set off more rubber balls towards the students.

But then again, judging from the Professor's reply to her suggestion, she guessed he didn't get her sarcasm either. Well, duh, of course it would be a waste of good marshmallows. But the point was it was kind of stupid to change the game; it'd been over three hundred years since it was banned, so if it was going to change, it would have done so long ago. And they were going to play the game, with incorporating some of their ideas. Which all Professor B had to say was Hogwarts Quidditch Cup and despite the fact that they weren't playing a true version of Creaothceann (which would be ghastly if they were!), the fourth year was stoked enough. Because it resembled quidditch, which was good enough for her. Without further waiting, she kicked off in the air, after the green balls of all four colors that were being launched. She was actually kind of grateful because green was so easy to spot against the sky. But wait, she had a question ... Flying down low enough for the Professor to hear her, she hovered in air, "Professor? What do we do with the balls after we catch them? Just release them?" Or wait, it was what the cauldrons were for? But eventually, the rubber balls might bounce out? Unless she caught it with her hand and placed it in the cauldron? Haraldur was enjoying himself.

He really had nothing besides fly around randomly and hope a ball falls into the cauldron. Trying to catch the green ones had not worked for him yet, and he did not see him becoming any better at it in the foreseeable future. So option one it was. Olly flew over to where he spotted a bunch of the rubber balls and flew under them. He was hoping one or two would go in, and that he'd get lucky and get green ones, but no. Of course that's not what happened. Instead, a clump of five all fell into his cauldron. Olly was not lucky enough that they would all five be green, of course. The problem was that he didn't know what color any of them were. The cauldron was strapped to his head so it wasn't like he could see inside it. Uh. He flew lower, down closer to the professor. "Professor, if I didn't see what color the ball was how do I know if I got points?" Was there any simpler way to do it short of stopping completely, unstrapping the cauldron, and checking? That seemed like way too much work. Haraldur smiled at the young prefect. "I would save as much time as I could.
