Chapter 11 Quidditch
Quidditch was like football but it had four balls including one Quaffle played by chasers and keepers to score a goal,two Bludgers by beaters to keep balls from knocking players off brooms and a Snitch by seekers to determine the critical moment,win or loss.
On one Saturday of November,Harry and his team members would have a match versus Slytherin.The match was the first experience for Harry as a seeker and an unexpected event happened on Harry that his broomstick was out of conrol for a quite long moment,nearly bucking him off.Luckily,with the help of Hermione who detected the unusual behavior of Snape (the true trouble-maker was Quirrel),Harry finally got command of his broomstick and successfully catched the Snitch by mouth,which helped the Gryffindor win the game.
