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.


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.
Adrianna sighed and finished her chocolate frog. She was never going to be fully up to speed, and she figured that she had better accept that now. She smiled at Candace. "I'll be sure to remember that when we go in... otherwise it could be disastrous!" she said with a laugh.

She listened as Candace told of her mother's occupation. "That's great! I wish her all the best!" she said with a broad smile. "You'll have to let me know how that goes, I'm quite curious!" she said. So, wizards and witches didn't merely just do magic, she thought. There were other things that they could do with it.

Adrianna blinked as she listened to the outline of Quidditch. "Wow..." she breathed. "That sounds insane... but like a lot of fun," she said with a smile. "I can't wait to see a game!" she said, thinking about it further.

Just then, another person joined them. Adrianna smiled and waved at John. "Nice to meet you!" she said brightly.
