She looked over at Candace, waiting for her to explain Quidditch as well. She was quite curious, but left all the questions up to Leeroy.

Leeroy blushed a little, suddenly shy. He had told his story. He laughed at her rival houses comment and turned back to Cadence as she started talking about Quidditch.

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.

"Cool!! Am I gonna be able to play? Like is there a class for it or something?" He was really liking the idea of Quidditch.
