Alex was entirely certain he didn't want to know how Seamus had actually managed to nab a quaffle. Especially one of the official school quaffles. Nope. Not a thing he wanted to know. Ignorance was bliss. Upon receiving it, Alexander had carefully copied the Hogwarts crest into his sketchbook. Then he had shrunk the quaffle down to a more manageable size until it was small enough to look more like a brooch. Of course, he'd had to keep it in his pocket for the first round of classes just in case someone told Ginny a quaffle was missing and she went searching in a rampage. One never knew with her.
On his lunch, he had covered half of the miniaturized quaffle in gold leaf. It had taken ages and he had almost forgotten he had to go back to class. Now he was settled back on his bed with a make-shift work table. The gold leaf work had been finished and the quaffle was waiting for a couple of finishing touches. First, Alex had to reapply the Hogwarts crest now that it was hidden. Then he had to attach a pin so Dennis could actually wear the damn thing.
But first the crest. Very painstakingly, he had painted over his sketch with a sticky black lining paint that he had gotten in some wizarding craft store. Then he'd had to float the paint only, not lose the shape, shrink the design and fit it to the tiny quaffle. He was at that latter part. He'd put a magnification charm on his reading glasses (which made his eyes look gigantic from the other side) and was carefully maneuvering the black paint onto a section of the mini-quaffle. So far so good...
