Re: Early: Lucy and Angie, and Open
Katie made eye contact with Angelina before quickly looking away. She got the message and knew Angelina wasn't going to let this drop. But Katie was grateful for her tact.

Katie tried to compare it to football. "Well, like Angie said, there's four balls involved. Two do try to attack you, but players just avoid them for the most part. The smallest ball, called the snitch, only two players, one from either team called Seekers, pay any attention to. Instead of 11 players per team there are 7, although we have reserve players. Like football there is a main ball involved, that's called the quaffle, that's how most points are scored. Goalkeepers are called simply Keepers and they protect three large hoops instead of one large box. We use our hands to control the quaffle because we're flying high in the air. There's defensive and offensive plays. Of the seven players, one I mentioned goes after the snitch, one protects the goals, two players jobs are protecting the others from the balls that try to attack you, the players are called beaters and the balls are bludgers. The three remaining players are called Chasers, they are like the forwards, because they chase the quaffle and score points for their team. Like football, there's intercepting of the quaffle and passing the quaffle back and forth, and of course there's horribly nasty maneuvers which are illegal and result in penalty throws." Katie paused a moment, hoping she hadn't confused Lucy very much, but football was an interest of hers. "Anytime you want to catch a match, let me know. Unless the Falcons are playing, I should be available."

Katie took a moment to look at Angelina, trying not to turn pink; Merlin knows what she was thinking, "Did all that babble sound accurate?"
