I hope everyone brought their Nimbus 2000 or Firebolt!

This was a special kind of Quidditch called Quidditch Relay. It's still played on a broomstick, of course, but you carry a spoon with a little white snitch on it. You have to fly across the pitch, circle the garden, and come back to the starting point, and hand your broom, spoon and snitch to the next person. Of course, the other team were all bludgers throwing balloons at you to try to knock the snitch out of your spoon. When the snitch falls, you have to pick it up, and that takes precious time!

There were several different strategies our players used. Some went as fast as they could, and dropped the snitch several times. Others walked slowly and carefully, avoiding the bludgers at all costs. Not clear which was better!
