Quidditch Match

[alt_cedric]

Well I'd hoped my surprise lineup change would be the most startling thing about today's match, but clearly there were other plans. I'd like to meet the other quidditch captains at half eleven tomorrow to discuss today's... result and what it means for determining the quidditch champion. I'm sure we can work out some fair result that acknowledges both the goals scored and the unprecedented nature of the cessation of play. Just count the points score, some fraction of them or possibly a continuance of play at a mutually agreeable later date?

Well played everyone. I'd like to thank my squad for handling the midseason position adjustment so well. Today's score may have been high, but we played well. We'll be even better in the final game of the season.

Good show Gryffindor. I'd specifically like to thank the Twins for making my first game as a chaser a thrilling but dangerous adventure and Ronald for being kind enough allow me to catchup on the ranking list for number of goals in our league.

Cedric,

Weren't you telling me that there was a Quidditch game once on Bodmin Moor that went on for six months? I believe you said it was a century ago at least. If memory serves, that game was called as well, though not, I presume, for reasons of the players being late for a meal. (Come to think of it, however did they handle that? Was it "Accio sandwich!" for six months?)

In any case, perhaps I can use whatever happened there as a model for entering this most recent game into my records. Though there is a significant difference in duration, in neither one was the snitch ever caught.
