The gallbladder would be thrown into the last barrel." She knew the gallbladder had a name...she just couldn't put her finger on what it actually was. Oh well. "The player who finished the task in the shortest time without catching on fire would be declared the winner."

There you go a partially correct answer. He felt confident.

This was one of those games that, minus the gallbladder, sounded pretty fun. Especially the flying through burning barrels. That sounded exciting.

Big barrels, of course, with fireproof robes and stuff. And fireproof broom. Safety first and all.

Whoever got through all the barrels the fastest and didn't catch on fire won." Not an entirely horrible game, in her opinion. Better than Creaothceann anyway. She would much rather fly through fiery barrels than try catching rocks with a cauldron on her head any day.

Just the thought of it kind of made her a bit uneasy.

Now, she didn't regret reading Quidditch through the Ages.

"The players hold a ball in one hand and fly through burning barrels," she said. "The barrels were set up as a course, and in the end, players had to throw the ball through a goal."

Sounded sort of fun, actually.

A goat's gallbladder sounded DISGUSTING. The fire part... not so bad. She DID enjoy a good fire.

"Everyone who answered is correct. Three points to each of you for your spot-on answers," replied a very generous Vindictus and he pulled out his wand.

He pointed it at spot only ten feet away from where he was standing, and gave it a swish. Suddenly, a rack of robes and two boxes appeared. One box contained goggles and the other, gloves.

"I want each of you to don a robe, a pair of goggles, and the gloves - these will immediately conform to your size so there's no need for anyone to be flopping about in equipment that's too big. If you chose not to wear this specialized equipment, I'm afraid that you won't survive this lesson."

Vindictus clapped his hands together excitedly. "We're playing a modified form of Aingingein today! So after you're in your fire-proof equipment, grab a school broom that's also been given a special fire-protection charm."
