She vaguely remembered seeing a store, but hadn't gotten a chance to go in while she was in Diagon Alley.

Adrianna listened as the others tried to comfort Leeroy. She was liking the sound of Hogwarts more and more. A family at school, something she never would have expected. Her mother had mentioned how university had been amazing for her, but Adrianna didn't think that they were anything alike- until now.

Adrianna turned as Candace spoke to her once more. "Thanks! I'm sure Ebony would thank you as well, but he's a bit grumpy with all the moving," she said with a grin down at her owl. She looked at the candy that Set offered and gingerly took a frog. She had experience with this one, and knew of its movement. Quickly, she unwrapped it and took a bite so that it couldn't escape, savoring the flavor. She went to put the rest back in the case when she saw something else in the wrapper. She looked closer and almost screamed when she saw a figure waving at her. She blinked and looked up at her friends. "Um... I don't know if my eyes are playing tricks on me... but did that just move?" she asked, her face pale.

Leeroy looked up at the boy. "Really? You mean it?" He thought it would be kind of cool to have a family of people that understood his weirdness.

Leeroy smiled at Cadence and turned to Set again. "Yeah I do. how do you play? Where do you play? Do you get anything if you win? Is it dangerous?I got this book but I haven't been able to read it yet." He held up Quidditch Through the Ages. "Do you play?"

Cadence giggled a little at Adrianna's surprise.Yes, in the wizarding world all pictures move whether they're photographs or portraits or anything. I know in the muggle world they stand still, but here they can move and talk and think. Sometimes they'll even disappear from their picture to go to a different one. I also read in Hogwarts, a History that the portraits at Hogwarts can move from one portrait to the next within the castle.

She now looked at Leeroy and was filled with joy that he seemed so excited to have friends who cared about him. Yes, Leeroy, we will always be there for you. And if your parents don't want you to come home on the holidays or something, you can always stay at Hogwarts or go home with a friend! I'd say I'd take you home with me, but I'm afraid my mum and dad are going to be gone most of the year. My mum is going to Africa with a group of people from the Ministry of Magic to help educate some witches and wizards there who couldn't afford to go to school. She wants to help them to improve Africa because the conditions there are so poor. Cadence was very proud of her mother's ambitions and hoped that they succeeded because it meant so much to so many people.

As far as Quidditch goes, well, erm... I'll try to explain the best I can. There are seven players on a Quidditch team. The first is the keeper who defends the goals. The goals are three golden hoops that are on posts and rise high above the ground at each end of the field (or pitch, as it is usually called). Three of the players are called chasers. The chasers try to score goals by throwing the quaffle (a red ball about the size of a soccer ball) through one of the hoops. Each goal is worth ten points. Next there are the beaters. The beaters are sort of the defensive players. They fly around with clubs in their hands and hit these balls called bludgers (heavy, black balls) toward members of the opposing team to try and knock them off their broom or at least make them drop the quaffle. Finally, there's the seeker who flies around looking for a very small and fast golden ball called the snitch. When the seeker catches the snitch, the game is over and he's one his team one hundred and fifty points.

So, yes it can be a very dangerous game, but it's quite exciting to watch. That's really all I know about Quidditch.

John was sure that Jack had gotten on the train, so he knew he must be around somewhere, but the question was were. He turned to Cadence and waited at the door for her to answer the question.

Hi John! Sure, you can come in. Set just left to go change into his robes. This is Adrianna and Leeroy. You guys this is my friend John! I was just explaining Quidditch to them. I hope I did an okay job.
