"Professor these's...Ballycastle Bats, um Puddlemere United, Montrose Magpies, uh... the Tutshill Tornados, Kenmare Kestrals, Pride of Portree, Appleby Arrows, Caerphilly Catapults, ...the Holyhead Harpies" BEAM "The Wimbourne Wasps, Chudley Cannons, Wigtown Wanderers and..." O___O Oh merlin's beard! What was the last team? Think Ella, think! Um....DING! "The Falmouth Falcons!"

She took a breath and looked at him, blushing.

"Puddlemere United," because they all just said that, "Pride of Portree," because that was who his sister played for, "Appleby Arrows, Holyhead Harpies, Montrose Magpies, Wimbourne Wasps, Ballycastle Bats" all teams he could associate with people thanks to his sister. So that was...seven, according to his fingers. "Falmouth Falcons....Tutshill Tornados. Wigtown Wanderers. Caerphilly Catapults..."

The boy paused, trying to think of the others. "....Chudley Cannons....and.....and...."

He should have done these in some order so he could go back and account for them. Like...alphabetically or something. But....no. His fingers said he'd gone through twelve, but he wouldn't be getting the thirteenth.

Pout.

She would've probably been upset that he didn't say her team first. "The Chudley Cannons, the Montrose Magpies, the Kenmare Kestrals..." Max was just listing whichever came to mind first now. "The Ballycastle Bats, the Wimbourne Wasps-" he wrinkled his nose at that one, as they were the enemy of his mother's team, "-the, erm, Falmouth Falcons, Tutshill Tornadoes... the Catapults - of Caerphilly, that is, the... uh... Holyhead Harpies..."

There was a long pause as he realized how many he had counted on his fingers. That was twelve. Thirteen... thirteen. He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to think of his mother's Quidditch schedule at home in the past... who else had she played?

And then he knew.

"And the Wigtown Wanderers," he said finally. Right? He hadn't said any twice?

With a sigh of impatience she began skimming the pages of the book. Surely one of these pages had the answer. It had to! This was a Quidditch history book for merlin's sake!!! Skip. Skip. Skip. Each skip made her more agitated until at last she came to a page with a list.

"Aha!" She was ready to answer. "Professor you have: Montrose Magpies, Appleby Arrows, Wimbourne Wasps, Puddlemere United, Falmouth Falcons, Tutshill Tornados, Wigtown Wanderers, Chudley Cannons, Kenmare Kestrals, Pride of Portree, Caerphilly Catapults, Ballycastle Bats and..."

...

O___O

Oh no....this was the page she had torn a piece of during the summer to write down a phone number for her father...oh no, oh no, oh no. Alright, think Lex, you must know the answer. What team didn't she remember calling...? Let's see, there was the Magpies...the Tornadoes...the Harpies--Oh! "The Holyhead Harpies!"

Of course, he couldn't forget his godfather's team, "Falmouth Falcons." He got it, right? He got the five points?

Obviously the Holyhead Harpies, they're the all girls team..." How could he have forgotten THEM? Seriously?? "Umm, the Wimbourne Wasps are a team, then the Montrose Magpies," What kind of mascot was a magpie?? "Then, uhh...the Falmouth Falcons, Kenmare Kestrals, they're in Ireland, andddddd....the Wigtown Wanders! Yes, that's one," He knew he was still missing a few, though. "Umm, umm...I know this, umm...OH! Pride of Portree! Then, there's umm...the Catepillars! They're from Caerphilly, I think," he said. He was trying to keep track of them as he listed them, but had no idea if he actually got all thirteen. So he was just going to stick to these!

"Five points each to Ella, Taylor, Max, Alexa, Kennedy and Alex," announced Vindictus. "Aidan, you forgot the Kenmare Kestrals and will only receive 4 points." He sat the thermos of hot cocoa down and looked thoughtfully at the class.

"Not everyone is fortunate enough to play in the League, but there are opportunities on other continents. What are some other professional teams you've heard about? Don't be afraid to use your textbook if you're not sure, but only one team per person and no repeated answers. If someone has mentioned your team, see if you can provide another one instead."
