| Broom less Quidditch Match By Cedric Last week the two British teams, Montrose Magpies and Falmouth Falcons, were supposed to meet each other for a match of Quidditch. However a problem came up that almost resulted in the match being cancelled. The Montrose Magpies had all their equipment transported to the match in a separate car but somehow there was a mix-up with the brooms. When the team had their brooms delivered it was not their usual Quidditch brooms, but brooms charmed to sweep floors they received. Since there was no time to get new equipment, the team had to use the sweeping brooms. 10 minutes into the match the Captain of the Montrose Magpies threw his broom to the ground and stomped on it while shouting words not suited for this magazine. He called a time-out and after a talk with the Falmouth Falcons' Captain, it was decided that since both teams needed the practise they would continue the match without anyone using a broom. The referee told the teams that the match was a win for Falmouth Falcons because the Magpies had not brought the proper equipment but that he would gladly stay and be the referee for the unofficial match without brooms. After 4 hours of hard play the match ended. No one had any chance of catching the Snitch so when the referee said he had to head home for dinner, the match ended. The unofficial match ended 70-50 in the Magpies' favour. |
