John Raised His Hand "The Bird Snidget Was Used before the invention of the snitch Like Your Snidget Professor"

"It was a bird, by the name of the Golden Snidget. It was golden and very much like the golden snitch, it where the snitch was designed from. But because they soon became a rare bird, it was banned to be used in quiditch and so the snitch was used instead" said Barry, that ought to get him a few points.

Raising her hand Nancy answered the professor's question, "A bird, called the Golden Snidget, was used before the invention of the Snitch."

Evangeline gave her eyes a little roll before raising her hand. "That'd be the Golden Snidget, Ma'am." She replied. SEE! Proof Quidditch was stupid: it almost sent an innocent bird to complete extinction.

Karma had waited a moment before answering.

"I do believe it was the Golden Snidget, ma'm."

"Exactly right, Candi." Iliana said with a smile. "3 points to Hufflepuff." She said.

"Correct you are. Two points." she said.
"Exactly right." she said to the Gryffindor prefect. "Take a point for your answer as well."

"Alright, as Candi said, before the invention of the snitch, people used to use the Golden Snidget for Quidditch. Does anyone know how this came to be?"

Emiliano raised his hand, he knew that one. In Durmstrang, even though he didn't care about Quidditch he had to read parts of booklets about it. "I do believe it was the Golden Snidget, Professor..." He said and lowered his hand in a second.

Allie raised her hand again.
“Snidget hunting was popular back then, so the guy named Barbeus Bragge brought a snidget to a game, and pretty much let it loose and was like catch it and they would get 150 galleons. Evntually it changed into you got 150 points though.” she said.

"No, I thought they used golf balls" Jack mumbled

Trying to remember what her Quidditch book had said, Candi raised her hand and proclaimed ,"Professor, I am pretty sure that Barbeus Bragge introduced the Snidget into the quidditch world in 1269."

Hugo grinned, his eyes shining happily. He KNEW this one! His hand shot in the air and wiggled around. "Oh miss! Isn't it because it's so fast, and can change direction really quickly?"

Dmain raided his hand "The bird could fly with amazing agility, changing speed and direction almost instantaneously."

Anna raised her hand once again. "At the time, people enjoyed snidget hunting. A man by the name of Barbeus Bragge brought a snidget to a Quidditch game and let it loose for the players to catch. At first, you were awarded 150 galleons for catching it. Now-a-days, you are awarded 150 points," she said.

Qaz raised her hand and replied, 'In 1269, the Chief of the Wizards Council, Barbarus Bragge, brought a caged Snidget to a Quidditch match, released it and offered 150 Galleons to the player that caught it.'

"Welll," Agie said after raising her hand. "They used to use the snidget for hunting. And a guy called Chief Barberus Bragge, released the first Snidget in a game of Quidditch, he actually offered 150 Galleons to the first player who caught it. This convinced Modesty Rabnott to release the bird in a game."

"The wings of the snidget allow him to move quickly and freely around the stadium" John Answered

Heidi raised her hand, "Chief Barberus Bragge, who released the first Snidget in a game of Quidditch, offered 150 Galleons to the first player who caught it, which prompted Modesty Rabnott to Summon the bird to her and release it."

Miranda thought and raised her hand, "Professor, there was a so-called sport...er, called Snidget hunting, where the people would catch the poor bird and be rewarded lots of galleons. And then this man called Barberus Bragge, introduced the Snidget to a Quidditch game, where as the Snidget hunting, the person to catch the snidget got lots of galleons... "

Shana sort of raised her hand Is it because the Snitch was found to be faster and harder to catch than the Golden snidget ?
