"They used barrels or something didn't they?" she asked more then answered before continuing. "No, wait, they used baskets...or something. Or both."

Yea, or both. Or SOMETHING. They used something! Obviously, that was the answer right there.

Pffft. She knew why they stopped using them. All those cheaters setting them on fire.

"One point to each of you for your answers," replied Vindictus and he looked around at some of the students' faces. "Baskets were used until 1883. Also, the ancient Quaffle was a patched leather ball with a strap and finger holes - it wasn't enchanted. and made it difficult for the Catchers to score. Beaters hit the blooders with bats, and the Hunters had to catch the Golden Snidget."

He stopped and looked again at some students who appeared to be bored. "Some of you need to wipe those bored expressions from your faces or else I'll have you tidying up the dungeons."

Stare.

"Now, let's get back to discussing the way Quidditch used to be played. If you're unfamiliar with the origins of the sport, I highly suggest that you listen."

Long pause.

"Let's see if you can put the pieces together and answer this final question - who can explain how Quidditch used to be played?"
