Of course, they weren't playing modern day Quidditch right now, but this was still played basically the same way, so it shouldn't be too hard to teach, right?

"Don't worry, it's not too hard to learn," Vashti began, still smiling. "Well, except for these balls we have to use. But we don't use them in Quidditch nowadays, so it's actually a lot easier than this looks." Yeah, suddenly she was very grateful they used Bludgers rather than rocks in Quidditch today. "Would you like to be a Chaser? That's where you have to catch and throw the Quaffle ball..." She looked around for it but again couldn't find it. Merlin, where did that thing go? One second the Hufflepuff boy had it, the next it was gone again. Oi. "Or you can be a Beater, where you just have to hit the rocks around towards the players on the opposite team. If there are teams, of course," she finished with a nod.

Wait, she'd totally just forgotten about Keeper! "Oh yeah, there's also Keeper, where you have to guard the goals, but I think those positions are taken," she explained. And it was way better to have ten million Beaters or Chasers than ten million Keepers. You'd never be able to score that way! "So which do you think you'd like? Chaser or Beater?"

Kurumi was very grateful that the Ravenclaw girl was taking the time to explain things to her. Which one of the two was she potentially better at? She was good with a kendo sword and could hit even the smallest of target with it...perhaps she should give being a Beater a try?

"M-m-m-maybe being a Beater is best for me?" she asked rather than said. She was nervous and had just recently become comfortable enough on her broom to not swing around in circles on it every time she moved.

"Oh, I'm Kurumi by the way," she smiled nervously extending her hand and bowing her head.
