Re: Mary, Xeno
"I love Quidditch," Mary said, settling down a bit more comfortably. She pulled her legs up so she was sitting cross legged, her new boots huge on the seat.
"It's pretty easy, really, when it comes to a game. As for why it's exciting, I guess it's sort of the thrill of the chase, you know? Scent of victory and all that. Plus it's sort of poetic, watching them go by on their brooms, cheating death." She bit down on her lolli to break it, the cracking sound loud in their compartment. "The ancient Romans used to feed people to lions. Really this is quite tame in comparison."
After a moment's consideration she nodded. "Tell you what. If you want, next game come sit with me. I'll try and explain it to you."
