The next morning, Nesta had just finished Potions class and was eager to see her friends at Study Hall. Until Rowan pulled her back and asked to meet her outside. "Where are you taking me?"

"You'll see." Rowan only responded as the two of them went outside carrying a crate. "What's inside the box?" Nesta asked as they finally placed it on the ground. Nesta's hand already internally bleeding. Rowan didn't answer the question right away. "Quidditch is real easy to understand. We have 7 players. 3 Chasers, 2 Beaters, 1 Keeper, and the Seeker." Rowan explained as Nesta listened carefully.

Rowan bent down and opened the crate to revel 3 balls. One of them was huge and red while the other two were small and brown. What made them more different from each other was that the 2 brown balls were locked up in the crate and viciously moving around trying to break free. Rowan picked up the red ball and tossed it to Nesta who caught it with ease. "They're 3 types of balls. This one's called the Quaffle. The chasers have to handle the Quaffle and try to get it through these 3 hoops." Rowan pointed towards a game stadium in the distance.

Nesta noticed that each of the hoops had there own height. She also noticed that there were 8 stadium towers, 2 of them each had the 4 houses of Hogwarts.

Nesta turned back to Rowan. "So, who's guarding the hoops?"

"You're looking at him." Rowan smirked. So he was the Keeper. Nesta chuckled a bit. "The Keeper, yours truly, defends the hoops. Got that so far?"

"I think so." Nesta answered, tossing the Quaffle back to Rowan who caught it with his right hand.

Nesta looked at the balls that were locked up. "What about those?" she asked as Rowan nervously handed her the club that he was carrying. "You might wanna take this."

"Okayyyy." Nesta replied, taking the club as Rowan unlocked the ball. It shot straight up into the air, Nesta thought it was gone for good until she saw a spec of it touching down. "Careful Archeron. It's coming back." Rowan warned as Nesta gripped her club and hit the ball across the field. The ball flew through two twin swords that posed as a hoop. "Nice job Nes, You'd make a fair Beater." Rowan complimented as Nesta blushed.

Rowan would've smiled back if it weren't for the ball zooming towards him. Rowan barely had time to say 'Uh oh' before the ball collided with his chest. The impact was so great, that Rowan fell to the ground. He quickly placed the ball back into the crate and locked it shut.

Nesta giggled a bit but otherwise didn't laugh out loud. "What was that?"

"A Bludger. Nasty little buggers." Rowan replied as he grunted a bit. "Now Nesta, you are the Seeker." Rowan unlocked a little door that had all of the house symbols on it. Inside was a little golden ball. Rowan took it out and showed it to Nesta. "This is the only thing you have to worry about. The Golden Snitch." Rowan handed it to her as she took it with pride.

Nesta smiled. "I like this ball."

"Ah, you like it now. Those things are damn fast. And nearly impossible to see." Rowan explained as Nesta gave him a confused expression. "What do I do with it?"

"You catch it. Before the other teams Seeker does." Rowan said as looked at the young witch with a serious tone. "Two things will happened when you catch it. The first thing, is the game is automatically over. The second thing, is that we win."

Nesta widen her eyes. Oh crap. The Seeker may only have one job, but it's the most important job of the entire game. "That's right, Nesta. Our win, depends on you. You catch this ball, and the Slytherins win." Rowan said as Nesta watched as the snitch sprouted wings and flew into the air. "Woah."
