Quidditch!

Today was my very first Hufflepuff Quidditch match and it was marvellous to watch!  Of course I was a bit dissapointed that our House didn't win, but it was still loads of fun.  I wasn't sure if it would be after the week I've had but it was.

I got a package in the mail from Mummy yesterday and it had her special homemade sweets in it, so I shared them with my friends while we watched the match.  Cedric Diggory is such a good flyer even though its only his first year playing.  I just love watching him.  He got really close to the snitch once and I'm sure he could have caught it, but he didnt.  I think he thought that we might be able to take the lead in goals but we didnt.  Even though their a different house I have to admit that the Ravenclaw Chasers were really good--sometimes it was like they could read each others minds!  Davies and Troy did some wonderful defense--I saw them do a brilliant Dopplebeater--but MacAvoy and Applebee seemed like they were having a really bad day.  It didn't help that Samuels kept cobbing when Madame Hooch wasnt looking!  Still I guess it was a pretty clean game overall.

Sometimes I think I would like to play Quidditch for Hufflepuff when I'm older but other times I'm not sure.  My dad says I haven't got the killer instinct which I think means that I care more about having fun and making sure everyone has a good time than winning.  Which is true.  I dont like playing with people who always have to win everything all the time because then it stops being fun.

At proffessional Quidditch matches, some people get bella beli really angry when their team doesn't win. My dad has to calm down people like that when they've had too much firewhisky and start making a scene.  It isnt always easy, especially when their rich and imp...Sorry, spilt ink.  Anyhow it can be a big pain--Falcons fans are usually the worst.
