The Golden Snitch
I walked into the Quality Quidditch Supplies store for one thing and one thing only: to take up time. I needed to burn up some time because I got done with my school shopping so early. I know that first years aren't allowed a broom or any quidditch supplies but there were no other shops that looked nearly as interesting. What I didn't realize about walking into this shop was that as soon as I saw a broom, I was hooked. All I wanted was to be a quidditch player now.
I walked over to a stand with the newest, greatest, model broom. I touched it and it felt so smooth underneath my fingers. I wished so badly that I never walked into this shop. I walked over to a shelf and looked at all of the different items that were for sale. There were these special gloves and right next to those there was a line of little gold balls with wings. The label said they were Golden Snitches'.
I wonder what they do? I thought to myself. All of a sudden a boy walked up behind me and said, "They are the hardest to catch. They fly super fast and the Seeker is tasked with catching it. Pesky little things. But they also give the team a lot of points, so, I guess it's all worth it, right?"
It was like he read my mind or something. I felt super uncomfortable just because I thought the question and then he, out of nowhere, answered it. But I was still very polite.
"Really? That's really cool. I guess it is all worth it if your team gets points." I smiled.
"Yeah." As he looked back and forth from the Golden Snitch and me, I pointed to the right and said, "It was really nice to meet you, but I have to go."
"Nice to meet you too!" He smiled.
I slipped out the front door and now I have to go find something else to do. I might go try out the ice cream shop!
Prove them wrong. Twice.
