"Reckon you can't really stand up high...on the pitch, you know?"

Ahem. Just some food for thought. You know, friendly neighborhood Head Boy trying to steer the group in the right direction.

Hearing Mary, Derf turned his head to look at the first year and smiled...because this sort of thing was precisely why they had used famous Hufflepuffs, you know? Teach this generation about those famous Hufflepuffs of the past who had helped shaped the house to what it was today. All important and impactful. "Cedric Diggory was a seeker, quidditch captain, and prefect for Hufflepuff house. He was also one of the champions in the Triwizard Tournament of 1994...and his death at the end of the tournament signaled a shift in the belief as to whether or not ... a terrible Dark wizard at that time had returned or not. All around...really great guy who was taken too soon."
So.... Cedric Diggory was a quidditch star who died a really early death. She still had questions though. Was it a noble death? It sounded like it might be, bit he didn't specifically say, and what was the Triwizard Tournament? What exactly is the..... Triwizard Tournament? How did it result in his death? Would you consider it a noble death? She also wanted to know if it had anything to do with Harry Potter or he-who-must-not-be-named. Her brother had told her a little about that, but she was afraid to ask.

Thinking more about his statement about "standing up high" on the pitch, she figured he was implying it wasn't there. It definitely had to do with quidditch, but they certainly can't stand up on brooms, so they had to be somewhere else, related to quidditch, that was "up high." I can stand with the logic that it has to do with quidditch, but we have to be able to stand up, and it has to be up high. We can't stand on brooms, so maybe it's some kind of..... tower? Is there a quidditch tower?
